infinite hero

"Has the self-assembly machinery booth been debugged?"

"Okay, sir."

"Elongate the distance between the spotlights on the side, I hope they look like the golden ratio."

"Okay, sir."

"The order of the Mark Armor... the new one is in the middle, and it should be in a higher position."

"Okay, sir."

When Sid was so critical, he was standing on the landing gear directly in front of the stage in the exhibition hall.Pepper stood beside him with a tablet computer and wireless earphones on his ears, and sent these instructions to the corresponding person in charge, remotely controlling them, so that the boss could see the effect.

After a final check, Sid managed to give a reluctant nod of satisfaction. "There are still two hours to go," he looked at his watch, "I hope everyone cheers up."

"Don't worry." Pepper replied quickly.She has been following up all the progress, thinking that it must be foolproof-when did the boss nod things go wrong?They just do what they have to do.

"That's good." Sid nodded.Pepper's work performance has been perfect, and he feels that she should be given a raise after this exhibition.But thinking of salary, he thought of another aspect: "Is there any news about Miss Romanov today?"

"No," Pepper replied without checking the memo.Such things were rare, and if they did, she must have been impressed.

Sid twisted his chin with two fingers.

He usually assumes that no news is equal to good news, but it's impossible?Tony has made countless enemies, and Hammer is definitely one of the best.If Hammer dies down this time, he'll write his name upside down!

"Then pay attention." He ordered, "If something happens, let me know as soon as possible."

"Okay," Pepper said.The matter of scraping the car had been settled, so she didn't know what Sid wanted to know about Natasha; but she was an honest and reliable assistant, and she would never ask anything the boss didn't say.

Sid looked around the room, thinking he might as well consider calling Tony.

After Tony became Iron Man, everyone's focus was on the Iron Suit.Just think about it, if there is a company of steel soldiers, what an advantage in combat!Even if their individual combat ability is not as good as Tony's armor, isn't a group of obedient soldiers and a disobedient Tony more attractive?

People who think this way are not only SHIELD and the military, but also certain anti-government armed forces and other organizations with ulterior motives.In the past, Tony certainly didn’t care who the buyer was—as long as the buyer could afford it—and when he saved his life from the war in Afghanistan, he changed his mind and implemented a one-size-fits-all policy—

you want?Okay.Of course I can do it, but I just won't!

pay more?Excuse me, I'm Tony Tyrant Stark!

Years of cooperation?I am rich and willful, what can you do to me?

This kind of unflattering attitude has angered Stark Industries' regular customers, and it is also the main source of Sid's work pressure in the past six months.But Sid thinks switching from weapons to energy doesn't sound so bad—at least energy sounds a lot cleaner and less talkative than weapons, right?As for those objections, Sid firmly believed that those people would change their minds after visiting this exposition.

It's clear that Sid and Tony have something in common—confidence off the charts.It's just that Sid will not reveal this too much, and Tony is too pushy, so the public opinion is all on Tony.

Under this premise, it can be expected that there will be no Iron Soldiers that everyone is looking forward to in this expo.At best, there are only a few Mark armors for everyone to enjoy, and the real sales are only related to clean energy.

But Iron Soldiers is undoubtedly a huge business opportunity.Just because Stark Industries voluntarily gave up does not mean that others will do the same.At least Justin Hammer is not—he said that he can make mechanical soldiers that are more cost-effective than the products developed by Tony, and he has actually contacted many buyers.

In this case, Sid has reason to believe that Hammer will come to mess things up.

In his eyes, Hammer can barely be counted as repeated defeats; but he can't even count his spirit as commendable, because Hammer's methods are very low-level every time, and he feels an insult to his IQ even if he mentions it.

But this time something is different.If Hammer was really bragging like he always did, it would be impossible to get so many orders; buyers are not stupid.

So there's only one possibility for this to happen, and Hammer actually made something, just waiting to knock them the coup de grace at the start of the show.Even if Sid finds it fatal or not is debatable, he can't ignore the other side without risking the show being screwed up.He asked Natasha to investigate Hammer, just to know what the other party did in private.

Now, more than 24 hours have passed since Natasha left his office with no news.Sid felt that if it was the legendary radio silence, or that Natasha had unilaterally contacted Fury, then it would be fine; if not, the situation might not be so wonderful.

But now that the time is approaching, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to cancel the exhibition because of the danger that has not yet been determined.According to the situation that Hammer would take the initiative to challenge Tony every time before making a move, he felt that it would be a good deal to make a call at the risk of being rejected by Tony.

Before Sid could speak, his cell phone rang.Pepper lowered his head subconsciously, and after discovering that it was Sid's phone ringing, he was uncontrollably surprised—there are only a handful of people who can directly call Sid's private mobile phone—well, only Tony—but how long has it been since Tony took the initiative to call Sid? Made a phone call?

Sid naturally noticed the change in the assistant's expression.But he didn't say anything, just took two steps to the side, and then connected.Within two seconds, he hung up again, turned his head and said, "I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back soon."

Pepper has reason to believe that there is only one place where their boss is going now, and that is Tony's mansion.To be honest, that place is not too close to the fair.Sid's car is very fast, and it takes a dash to get back and forth-if Sid wants to catch up with the opening of the exhibition. "But, boss..."

"No but." Sid raised a hand, stopping Pepper from trying to persuade him. "I'll try to make it in time, that's all. Until then, I give you carte blanche to handle the show."

Pepper shut up.Whenever Sid says he's doing his best, it means there's no room for change.She really hoped now that Tony had something important to call Sid back.

In order to avoid the crowds already queuing at the entrance of the exhibition, Sid's car had to make a sharp turn from the rear.When he passed the front, he found that the queue had already lined up outside the small square specially opened for waiting spectators.The expressions on everyone's faces were filled with excitement and anticipation. A boy who looked like a high school student was still excitedly saying something to his female companion: "...You know, Gwen, I've been waiting for this for almost a century!"

Sid smiled unconsciously.He called Pepper on his car's speakerphone to alert him to the safety of the audience, rolled up the windows and hit the gas.

The whole journey was swift and swift, and Sid was still panting when he arrived at the laboratory. "It's time to go."

"Right now." Tony turned around to face Sid, still wearing his signature smirk. "Can you do me a favor and connect these two wires?"

Sid stared.His brother called him back just for two wires? !
