Hex Technology Tycoon of American Comics

Opening the video conference, Obadiah on the other side of the phone seemed a little worried.

"Long time no see, boss."

"Long time no see - I heard you had some health problems. Are you feeling better now?" Obadiah said with concern.

"It's not a big problem, but..." Karl took off his thick clothes and exposed some parts of himself.

Karl's skin color under his clothes has changed drastically. If the life crystal is turned off, his bronze skin color will turn into a lifeless black, like a lot of pigmentation.

In addition, although the burns were basically healed by Mao Ling's treatment, the scars still remained, looking quite hideous.

It looked like a recurrence of some kind of skin cancer, which seemed normal considering Carl's condition.

As for the severed hand... Karl just covered up the exoskeleton frame under his sleeves and didn't let Obadiah know too much.

"Still recovering, the doctor said you can get more sun." After Karl finished speaking, he covered himself with his clothes.

"That's unfortunate." Obadiah paused. "You know we just completed the development of the Jericho missile, right?"

"Watching the news."

"That's good. I'll give you some simple designs. You can see if it's difficult to understand them."

Karl was stunned for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "You mean..."

Obadiah smiled: "Yes, I plan to formally invite you to join the Jericho missile project team, or in other words, the core research and development department of Stark Industries."

Karl immediately showed an expression of joy!

But in fact, he was making quick calculations in his mind -

Tony Stark is the only person in the core R&D department of Stark Industries!Even if Obadiah wants to add people in, he has to ask Tony first if he agrees!

Now that he is doing this, there is only one explanation...

Obadiah is going to take action. He wants to see if he has the ability to replace Tony--even if he only replaces part of it.

"It's my pleasure, Mr. Stannis, and I'll do my best."

Karl bowed slightly, hiding the smile on his face.

……

New York, the largest city in the world, when Carl first arrived here, he felt the threat of death and the chaotic and disorderly streets at the bottom.

But now, he only feels that this place is full of order and a beautiful tomorrow. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a paradise on earth.

Although Obadiah is anxious, he also knows that the analysis of Jericho missiles is not that simple. Tony Stark alone is worth several of his research teams.

Although Carl has some abilities, exoskeletons and missiles are not things that go in the same direction at all, and it takes a lot of time to learn.

As soon as he got off the plane, the bald man pulled Karl into the office and took out a lot of calculation data, mathematical models, and some structural drawings.

Then it was not too surprising to Karl. He couldn't understand it at all - his skill was [Individual Weapon Design and Manufacturing lv.2], which was quite different from strategic weapons such as intercontinental missiles.

This disappointed Obadiah. The good news is that Karl is not completely incomprehensible, and maybe he can still be saved.

But no matter what, when Carl left, he was sure that Obadiah had no intention of changing his plan - he was going to kill Tony Stark and monopolize Stark Industries.

And even if Carl couldn't understand the Jericho missile, he was still a cash cow.

Finally, Carl, who received a small sum of money, left Stark Industries - judging from the time, Tony was about to leave for Afghanistan, and Carl had three months to prepare.

Prepare to take over the arms demand vacated by Stark Industries' withdrawal from the arms sales industry.

Of course, there's no rush.

In Queens, Carl's home is a little lively.

"Hey, what do you think of this dress? I never thought I could have something blue and look good."

Carl is wearing a welding mask and welding his Evolution Star exoskeleton on the other side of the glass.

Hearing Greer's question, he said without looking up, "It's nice."

"What about these pants? The fabric doesn't feel great against your skin, but they look good."

Greer had changed into a pair of tight jeans at this moment, which perfectly outlined her long legs and easily made people want to pinch them.

Not to mention the part above the legs, it is simply...a murderous weapon in the world.

However, Carl still did not raise his head and continued to modify the Evolution Star exoskeleton.

Greer also noticed this scene, but she was not angry at all. She just took the trouble to change her clothes, and then kept asking how Karl was doing.

"Sir, don't you think you should take a break? Ms. Greer is such a lively lady."

"Indeed, luckily I have strong concentration." Karl picked up a welded arm frame and felt its weight.

"I'm glad to have such a guest at home, otherwise you would be too boring." Blitz complained.

"I'm also very happy to have such a... well, you can change the title, such as mistress." Karl said as he put the skeleton into the scanner.

"Besides, I don't think I'm boring - scan it, and if it's correct, I'll be here today."

"Copy that, sir." Blitz paused, "It's already the scheduled visiting time. Can I put you through to Dr. Connors?"

The explosion basically destroyed the Evolution Star exoskeleton. It happened that his left hand was also missing. It was a good time to upgrade the equipment.

However, his disabled left hand is a problem. Karl needs to get a left hand for himself first.

He happened to know a doctor who also lost his left arm and was very knowledgeable about it.

As Karl ordered the connection, the video interface appeared on the projection wall.

Carl raised his head and said: "Dr. Connors, I hope prison life has not caused you too much trouble."

"Of course not...your hand?" Connors was shocked - why did Carl become a one-armed man too!

"This... the cancer cells have metastasized, or the arm has become cancerous - anyway, you know what I mean, it's an old problem and I have to amputate it."

Connors was silent for a while and said: "I was a little depressed at first, but seeing you so optimistic, I have adjusted."

The corner of Karl's mouth twitched, why did this sound like: Originally, I was quite miserable, but seeing you so miserable, I suddenly felt that I was not miserable anymore.

"Uh... Anyway, I'm going to get myself a new arm now."

"Then you may be disappointed." Connors smiled bitterly, "I modified the attenuation rate formula many times, but the final result was only a little better - and it was still the case when I used that kind of medicine."

"I'm not talking about your plan, Doctor. I want you to try my plan."

Carl scratched his head, displaying his thoughts on the screen.

A shiny mechanical prosthetic leg.

"Prosthetic limb? Of course it can be used, but it will never be as good as the original."

"Don't jump to conclusions yet - the greatest characteristic of human beings is their ability to make tools. Perhaps this is the key to evolution."

Karl zoomed in on the technical details and said silently:

Join the glorious evolution.
