Chapter 6: The Ark Reactor is Easy to Get
What would it be like to walk in a frozen stagnant time and space?
Well, from Wang Qiu's point of view, it felt like walking into a giant wax museum.
Moreover, this wax museum has a modern urban street fighting theme, and it feels like the stop screen of a gun battle game.
——After using the black technology prop [Super Time Stop Watch] wholesaled through Doraemon to stop time in the Marvel world, Wang Qiu and Political Commissar Guo used [Bamboo Dragonfly] to fly out of the Empire State Building, and then the two They worked together to get out the frightened one-legged female man Tang Mary. By the way, at the insistence of Political Commissar Guo, Wang Qiu also visited the ruins of the women's restroom where he first came, and collected the remains of three National Security Bureau agents who died in the line of duty - using a [shrinking light] to reduce the bodies to the size of a postage stamp, and then stuffed them into the Take away political commissar Guo's wallet. Originally, Political Commissar Guo wanted to look for Comrade Xiao Zhang who was dispersed by the crowd, but after walking around the Empire State Building and not seeing anyone, he could only put it aside for now.
Next, a group of three people walked along the dilapidated streets, picking up rags while moving towards the Stark Industries Building.
——Really, it’s just picking up rags! Whenever he saw any alien weapons falling on the roadside, Wang Qiu would use the [Shrinking Lamp] to turn them into mini dolls, and then throw them into his [Fourth-dimensional Pocket]. On the way, I encountered a crashed Quinjet vertical lift fighter from S.H.I.E.L.D. at an outdoor cafe, and they did the same thing and took it away - in fact, if it weren't for the fear of unknown alien viruses or bacteria, I might have been infected. The human body caused a great plague in the real world, and he was even interested in the half-mechanical, half-biological remote-controlled soldiers of the Chitauri.
Then, as they got closer to Stark Industries, the signs of war damage became more intense. There are collapsed houses, broken vehicles and mutilated corpses everywhere, just like Stalingrad and Grozny in war movies, a scene of purgatory on earth.
Fortunately, both Wang Qiu and political commissar Guo, who are veterans of time travel, and Tang Mary, a one-legged woman who is a retired female soldier on the battlefield in Afghanistan, are all people who are used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and are not like those delicate little girls. He screamed hysterically and even fainted.
Finally, only one street away from Stark Industries Building, Wang Qiu finally saw some of the protagonists of the show, two members of the Avengers - Captain America and Thor, back to back in the middle of the street. , relying on a simple fortification made of several car wrecks stacked on top of each other, stubbornly resisting the siege of aliens. The slutty Iron Man Tony. Stark, suspended in mid-air four or five stories high, used his palm cannon to bombard the alien's individual aircraft. As for Hawkeye Barton, Hulk and Black Widow Natasha, they are still missing. Of course, because time was stopped, the superheroes and their alien enemies at this time stopped all actions and stood frozen like wax statues.
Looking at the appearance of these superheroes, Hong Kong female man Mary Tang touched her chin in deep thought.
In the past hour, the trajectory of her life had changed so much that it was as if she had opened it the wrong way. The level of excitement was incomparable to her previous battlefield career in the US military, which made her feel very insecure. Especially after learning from Wang Qiu that she could not leave this dangerous world for the time being and had to stay for a long time, Tang Marry became more and more eager to become stronger.
So, seeing Wang Qiu indifferently planning to bypass the superheroes who were equipped with many good things and continue to advance towards the Stark Industries Building, Tang Marry couldn't help but become a little anxious, "...Na na! You two, then There are a lot of good things around! Why don’t you pick up a few?”
"...Which thing do you want to grab? Thor's hammer? Captain America's vibranium shield? Or Iron Man's steel suit?"
Wang Qiu glanced at her indifferently, "... Thor's hammer contains the law of divine power, and no one can pull it out except him. Iron Man Tony Stark's suit is also his own, and it not only contains passwords , and the self-destruct program. What’s the use of it?”
"...What about Captain America's vibranium shield? As long as you can get it, you should be able to use it, right?" Tang Marry still didn't give up.
"...You really want it?" Wang Qiu showed a somewhat incredulous expression, "...But you should also know how famous Captain America is in this world, right? It's not even fair to say that he is the Jesus of the twentieth century. But! His shield has become a holy object like the True Cross, Holy Cloth, Holy Grail or Holy Spear, symbolizing the spirit of democracy and freedom that founded the United States! Even if you grab his shield, do you still dare to show it? ”
In response to this, Tang Marry was at a loss for words, but Wang Qiu did not continue to undermine her enthusiasm, but generously gave her a gift, "...this is Doraemon's [Reflective Cloak], and Captain America's Vibranium The performance of the shield is about the same. It is said that it can reflect the main gun bombardment of the space battleship. Of course, it can only withstand an attack of that intensity once or twice, otherwise the cloak will be overloaded and burned... Just use it to defend yourself!" br>
Tang Mary accepted the prop happily, and the three of them continued to move towards Stark Industries Building.
Although time has been stopped with the [Super Time Stop Watch], in order to prevent Thor from having any special perception abilities - what if the god can really be omniscient and omnipotent? They also deliberately made a large circle to avoid the sight of the superheroes, and then arrived at the door of the building.
At this time, the Stark Industries Building, which was in the center of the whirlpool of war, naturally had its doors closed, but this was of no use, because the aftermath of the explosion of this tragic battle had blown several glass doors and windows on the ground floor to pieces. Scum. Wang Qiu and the others walked into the hall easily stepping on the broken glass - and the next moment, Wang Qiu and Political Commissar Guo were stunned when they looked at the furnishings and scenes in the lobby on the ground floor of Stark Industries Building.
"...Is this...the Ark reactor that the central government wants? Is Stark Industries just putting it out there?"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
At this moment, in the center of the ground floor lobby of the Stark Industries Building, a green and white banner was pulled, with golden letters written on it: "Stark Industries, a symbol of modern high technology! Leading the way in global cleanliness." Energy trend! ”
Under this loud banner, there is clearly a trade show posture, with various exhibition counters, explanatory materials and publicity boards, plus a boss Tony. A striking bronze bust of Stark himself!
In each exhibition counter, Stark Industrial Group's products are dazzling, including multiple categories of construction machinery and household appliances, as well as computers and mobile phones. Of course, what attracts Wang Qiu and Political Commissar Guo the most is the famous Ark Reactor.
According to Wang Qiu's original idea, since Tony. Stark regarded the Iron Man suit as such a treasure that he would only keep it to himself. Even the U.S. military found it difficult for him to hand over the Iron Man suit. Then he probably regards the Ark Reactor as a personal magic weapon, and he should easily refuse to reveal it.
But this is obviously not the case. In this hall, various Ark reactors are packed in boxes and clearly marked for sale. In order to sell them, Stark Industries also carefully prepared many detailed and beautifully printed advertising materials.
Among them, the smallest Ark reactor is much bulkier than the thing on Iron Man's chest, but it is about the same size as the battery of an electric car. And according to the instructions on the promotional display board in the hall, this smallest Ark reactor... is really for electric vehicles!
Of course, they are not the two-wheeled mopeds that Chinese office workers often ride that cost 2,000 to 3,000 yuan each and cannot go as fast as 40 yards per hour. It's the kind of luxury electric car that sells for hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars and can go on the highway and reach speeds of more than 220 per hour!
According to the advertisement, as long as the electric car is equipped with the Ark Reactor nuclear battery produced by Stark Industries, the buyer can drive the electric car around the earth with the most powerful air conditioning. There is a risk of power outage and breakdown.
In addition, there are several Ark reactors, which are also compact and small, about the size of a microwave or refrigerator. Their function is equivalent to an intelligent unmanned power station, which is mainly used for power supply at field construction sites and remote settlements. According to the description in the promotional materials, it seems to be particularly popular at polar scientific research stations - in that kind of ice and snowy place with dozens of degrees below zero, human beings want to work and live normally, and want to generate electricity, heat and cook, as well as travel. All require a large amount of fuel consumption, but in places that require icebreakers to reach, transportation costs have always been high. But if there is an Ark reactor, then the scientific expedition team members will not have to worry about electricity. They can also use electric heaters, induction cookers, and microwave ovens for heating and cooking. You can even replace your snowmobile with an electric one and never use it again. Worried about freezing to death or being unable to start work.
In addition, the U.S. military bases located in various hotspots and troubled areas around the world are also an important customer of the Ark Reactor Intelligent Unmanned Power Station. According to one-legged female man Tang Mary, the base where she served in Afghanistan has been operating since this year. The electricity was generated by the Ark reactor.
Recently, Stark Industries also tried to sell the Ark reactor to various skyscraper owners in Manhattan, New York, for emergency power supply during power outages. After all, they are the most financially powerful customer group - New York is an unlucky place where all kinds of super villains Getting together with superheroes, there is a street fight every three days, which is extremely destructive. Local power outages in several blocks are really a common thing. Without their own emergency power generation systems, major companies are bound to suffer heavy losses. However, if a diesel engine is used to generate electricity, the noise and exhaust gas will be criticized, and the environmental protection department may also come to the rescue. Stark Industries is trying to seize this potential market with the gimmick of "clean energy".
For that, Tony. Stark had just completed modifications to the circuitry of the Stark Industries Building a few days ago, completely freeing the building from dependence on external power supply and instead using the Ark Reactor's own power generation as an example of an advertising template. , promote to customers... Various advertising and public relations plans and publicity and display activities have been prepared, but the steps have been disrupted by the crisis of alien invasion.
Now, the two thieves from another world, Wang Qiu and Political Commissar Guo, are even more advantageous: Seeing that the Ark reactor that the superior department wanted to get was openly placed on the exhibition counter, I originally thought that it would take a lot of effort. After the setback, they were overjoyed and immediately started working together to sweep away all the Ark reactor samples, merchandise and promotional materials displayed in the hall. By the way, I also picked up a lot of other products.
While they were frantically scanning goods for free, Wang Qiu and Political Commissar Guo were also discussing why Stark Industries would take out the Ark Reactor and sell it as a general commodity. To their surprise, they saw three big and powerful independent people. Tang MaLi, a man with legs, knows quite a lot about this.
"...Why did Tony Stark sell the Ark Reactor? Well, in the beginning, the Ark Reactor was indeed a secret of the Stark family. Just like the Coca-Cola formula, it didn't even apply for a patent. Just hide the technical information in the safe.”
Tang Marry was playing with the smallest Ark Reactor while talking, "...but the problem is, you have all seen "Iron Man 2". Didn't the plot in it say that? The Ark Reactor has been from the beginning. Tony's father, Howard, developed it together with Anton and Vanke. Anton, who was driven back to Russia by his design, also had the information.
Later, Howard. Stark attempted to monopolize the interests of the Ark reactor and drove Anton away. Vanke. Anton. Vanke returned to Russia depressed, trying to start over again, work for the Soviet government, and build an Ark reactor again. It’s just that the technical reserves in the Soviet era were not enough, Anton. Vanke was unable to build a practical Ark reactor, so it was regarded as a liar by the Soviet authorities, received little attention, and eventually died in poverty.
Waiting for his son Ivan. In Vanke's generation, humanity's overall technological level has advanced enough, and it successfully built the Ark reactor and armed exoskeleton, turning it into the villain "Mourning Whip". In order to clear his wronged father's name, he first appeared at the Monaco Circuit and met Iron Man Tony. Stark fights. After that, Ivan. Vanke was brought to the United States by the Hammer Military Industrial Group to produce their steel suits, and by the way, Tony. Stark's Revenge...Although Iron Man won the victory in the end, the production technology of the Ark reactor inevitably passed through Ivan. Vanke spread to the major American plutocrats, and even Russia dug up Anton from old files. Vanke’s research information.
At this point, it is completely impossible for Iron Man to monopolize the Ark Reactor, and he has no way to maintain his monopoly through legal means, because in order to achieve absolute confidentiality, he and his father even lost the Ark Reactor patent. None applied.
Then, since the secret of the Ark Reactor can no longer be kept, Stark Industries simply takes advantage of its technological accumulation and directly launches a large number of its own genuine reactors to seize the market, in order to defeat its competitors... It can also transform Stark Industries into a high-tech clean energy group - this has a much better reputation than an arms dealer who sells death. At first glance, it sounds like a high-end and classy style! In our part of the world, Western high-tech companies seem to often do this in order to fight against copycat products from Chinese companies. ”
"...Uh...Miss Tang, you know so much in detail!" Wang Qiu blinked and admired sincerely.
"...Well, in this world, what I just said is not a secret. There are many smart people and commentators in the American press. There are analytical articles in many business magazines and financial magazines. I am at the military base in Afghanistan. You can see it everywhere, but many people don’t care much about it.”
Tang Mary sighed, "...but since we know what kind of world we have traveled to, how could we not pay attention to Iron Man's movements and collect his intelligence? Unfortunately, it has never been put to any decent use." She said somewhat depressedly.
"...How could it not come in handy? At least you have now answered our doubts, which is of great help to us."
Wang Qiu hurriedly praised and said, and at the same time, his heart suddenly became enlightened.
——Indeed, since in the follow-up plot of Iron Man, Stark Industries gave up the military industry and switched to clean energy as its main selling point, then they have to rely on their greatest strength in this area: the Ark reactor. After all, other energy companies are not just doing it for a living.
And if Iron Man wants to make profits from the Ark Reactor, how could he not sell it as a commodity?
It’s impossible to build your own power plant in order to prevent the Ark reactor from spreading out, and then monopolize the country’s power grid in one fell swoop, right?
You know, for a company that produces generators, no matter how advanced and efficient your power generation equipment is, if the company refuses to sell any generators it produces and is only willing to buy power plants to monopolize the power grid and eat alone, it is estimated that the business will not be successful. Going down
——If Stark Industries insists on refusing to sell the Ark reactor, then Iron Man’s clean energy project will probably look like this: What? Do you want clean energy? Great, let's run a wire from our company building. For this reason, our company will build an additional reactor, a bunch of transformer equipment, and a power transmission system, all of which will cost you money! Then you can use clean electricity from the Ark Reactor!
So for buyers, what are the benefits of doing this? Well, the price of electricity can be slightly cheaper? But when such a high equipment cost is spread out, when can the basic investment be recovered? Moreover, the Ark reactor and power generation equipment are all in your company, and the buyer is not even allowed to take a look. Who knows whether they are clean or not? What if it’s all your nonsense? Not to mention that your Stark Industries building is the headquarters of the Avengers. It turns into a battlefield every three days, and naturally there are power outages every three days. With such an unreliable power supply, I might as well continue to use thermal power!
In this case, the buyer is still in New York. What if the buyer is in a foreign country? Do you want Iron Man to transport electricity across the Atlantic? Or let Stark Industries build a wholly-owned branch there to monopolize the power supply of a city or even a country? In short, it is difficult to imagine that a country would agree to have its power system completely handed over to a foreign private company, unless it is a small country with little oil or water.
Therefore, if Stark Industries wants to engage in clean energy and overwhelm other competitors in the competition, they have to launch their biggest magic weapon: the Ark reactor. Of course, they can sell a less powerful version of the reactor, but it's the same structure and principle, isn't it?
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
All in all, as long as these export version of the Ark reactors of Stark Industries are looted, Wang Qiu thinks that his mission has been completed.
As for the more valuable trophies, he either didn't dare to take them or couldn't get them at the moment.
Advanced technical information from Stark Industries? Today is the information age. Important technical information is generally stored in computers and may not be printed on paper documents. Let alone Wang Qiu, a computer layman, how to unlock the computer password lock of Stark Industries and how to deal with the alarm and anti-theft program. First of all, when time stops, no computer can work, even if it comes. It doesn’t matter if he is the king of hackers!
What's more, today's Stark Industries Building has just been put into use, Iron Man Tony. Stark's real R&D base is not here yet, but at his private ocean-view villa on Malibu Beach, California. He would not move his belongings here until the villa was destroyed by "terrorists" with missiles in the plot of "Iron Man 3". So even if you search the company building now, you probably won't be able to find anything good.
The Cosmic Cube currently on the roof of Stark Industries Building? And the evil god Loki’s scepter inlaid with the Mind Stone?
Well, although it was possible to get these two things, Wang Qiu really didn't dare to touch them. The former may attract "Thanos", the great devil of the universe in the Marvel world, who has the ability to travel through time and space! Wang Qiu really didn't dare to confirm whether that guy could reach the real world. As for the latter, as its name suggests, it has extremely strong mind control capabilities. In the play, even Hawkeye Barton and a large number of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were tricked into becoming the lackeys of the evil god Loki. And Wang Qiu obviously doesn't have this kind of defense ability. He might be affected by the Mind Stone and turn into a zombie-like puppet.
Therefore, after sweeping away the Ark Reactor products and introduction materials in Stark Industries Building, Political Commissar Guo planned to retreat.
However, Wang Qiu obviously had different ideas.
——Although the Ark Reactor is obtained, the reward points earned are still zero.
At this rate, when can we collect 100,000 points to redeem the two unlucky guys trapped in the Marvel world?
Since you are lucky enough to participate in the highly detailed New York battle in the movie plot, you should earn some points to go back!
Of course, he is also self-aware and knows very well that he is not suitable to reveal his special identity, and he does not have the strength to participate in the battle of superheroes - he does not even dare to show up in front of Thor, lest the gods have a way. Did you notice anything unusual through the stagnant time? Therefore, after lowering his head and thinking for a while, he suddenly asked Political Commissar Guo, "...Political Commissar, I have a preliminary idea about brushing points. Please take a look at it! You see, if we have an orientation here, If the blast directly demolishes the Stark Industries Building, will the Cosmic Cube on the roof fall down, and will the portal in the sky used by aliens to invade the earth be closed in advance? What?”
