Chapter 117 Another hearing
Chapter 117 Another hearing
This put him in a dilemma.
Forget it, he'd better go back and recover.
After the opening ceremony of the Stark Industry Expo ended, Teacher Tony was ready to leave.
At this time, reporters from many TV stations were still reporting on the scene very passionately.
He has other things to do and cannot stay at the venue all the time.
However, even Stark's way out was crowded with all kinds of people, including his fans and reporters trying to get first-hand information.
Before he even took a step forward, countless guns and cannons were aimed at him, and the sounds of flash lights continued one after another.
Many of his fans are waiting for his autograph, and there are people of all ages.
Stark generously signed for them and patted the heads of several children wearing Iron Man masks.
There were also several beauties who tried to strike up a conversation with him, and Teacher Tony was happy to do so, but they were pulled away by his bodyguards and the security guards at the scene (Stark probably thought like this: Do these security guards and bodyguards understand the rules? Po is not here).
He feels very proud. You see, no matter handsome guys or beauties, adults or children, everyone has recognized me.
I alone can maintain world peace.
He felt more and more proud.
Along the way, he also met Oracle founder Larry Elson and famous host Larry King. These big guys in the eyes of ordinary people had to greet Stark politely.
On the surface, Stark seemed to be in high spirits, but only he knew what trouble he was getting into.
When he was giving a speech before, he secretly measured the palladium ion concentration in his blood while no one was paying attention.
The situation is not optimistic, and it has increased since the last measurement.
Continuous consumption of chlorophyll drinks can only delay the onset of heavy metal ion toxicity, but cannot cure it.
It cannot promote the body to excrete it, nor can it react with palladium ions to form insoluble substances that do not participate in biochemical reactions.
Unless he finds another element that can replace palladium.
But now, apparently there is no such element.
This is a problem that has no solution for the time being.
Although he didn't show anything in front of outsiders, even in front of Pepper, Stark knew that as long as the problem of palladium ions continuing to spread in his blood was not resolved, his future beautiful life would ultimately be just a dream.
After being kidnapped by terrorists, he was indeed reborn, but this rebirth came at a price.
So, Gul'dan, what's the price?
all of these.
When he finally walked out of the door and came to his brand new Audi R8 convertible, he noticed that there was a beautiful woman standing in front of his new car.
"What is that? Is it a new car? Is it a gift with the car?" He still doesn't mind a beautiful woman as a gift.
A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is not as good as not being able to steal.
Teacher Tony, who has been flying among the flowers all year round, can be said to be well versed in this.
His restless heart has not been completely suppressed by Pepper.
However, this beauty came to him today because of official business.
She was sent by the Ministry of National Defense to convey orders to Teacher Tony and brought an official document.
However, Teacher Tony didn't like people handing him things, and his face didn't look good.
So, as always, his bodyguard received the document for him.
At the same time, the beauty also told him word for word that he was required to go to the Senate Armed Services Committee for questioning at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
Obviously, not only the Department of Defense, but also some people in the Senate are drifting.
They forget whom they are serving.
Stark didn't believe it at first and asked to see the other party's badge.
But as she showed her badge...Teacher Tony knew that this was not a prank or a joke.
Someone in the U.S. government is overthinking things, but he's not afraid.
He immediately started the sports car and rushed to Washington, D.C., two hundred and fifty miles away, overnight.
……
Xia Yan also returned home. He hasn't been back for some days.
"Master, have you heard about what happened in Hell's Kitchen before?" Xie Jing, the old butler, looked mysterious.
Xia Yan really wanted to tell him, Mr. Xie, you are on fire!
"I've heard it before. I was still there that night, but unfortunately, I didn't see the scene of the Sith Lord fighting the ninjas. I just kept hearing the car explosion." In fact, he is the "Darth Vader", but But you can’t say this nonsense, and even if you say it, no one may believe it.
A few days after I didn’t see this, there was a guy with cerebral palsy on YouTube who announced that he had awakened the Force and wanted to avenge the apprentices of the Jedi Order who were killed by Darth Vader?
There are always people who get too involved.
"You know all about it?"
"That's because we young people pay more attention to these things, but it has nothing to do with us." He didn't know why Xie Jing wanted to mention this to him.
"No, Master. Just yesterday, an old customer came to the door and said that he hoped our company would customize a security system for them that can sound an alarm and launch an attack on Sith warriors when the dark force is discovered. You Say, what are these people thinking?" Sure enough, there are all kinds of people in this world.
"What? Is there such a person?" Xia Yan suppressed his laughter.
"Sorry, I have to kill him." With such bad money, is he still a human being?
If he remembered correctly, ten years later, when the new coronavirus pandemic broke out in China, some people claimed that 5G base stations spread the new coronavirus... The key is that a lot of people still believed it...
Then someone claimed that they had invented a 5G signal jammer, which can generate an energy shield (!) to isolate the 5G signal and prevent users from being infected by the new coronavirus.
But in the end, someone suddenly thought of it and bought a sample for testing. It turned out that this thing was just a modified small-capacity USB flash drive... But even so, there were still a lot of people buying it.
But in fact, the only function of this thing is psychological comfort.
Just like in that classic conversation between Humphrey and Bernard.
Humphrey: What is the purpose of our defense policy?
Bernard: Defend Britain.
Humphrey: No, it was to make the British believe they were defended.
Bernard: Let the Russians?
Humphrey: Not Russian, British. The Russians don't know.
All I can say is, Humphrey will always be a god.
"Listen to me, this way..." He could only reluctantly plagiarize the idea of the person who invented the so-called "5G signal jammer" ten years later.
"Ah?! Master, isn't this bad?!"
"No, no, no, Mr. Xie, you can't apply our Chinese thinking to today's white people. They are not as pragmatic as you think. Those are the previous generation. If you think about it carefully, you will know that the other party proposed The request is nonsense. However, we only need to make them believe that they are protected, and then the money is in our hands, and that is enough. Arrange people to prepare for production immediately, not too much or too little. Advertisement Just don't worry, fools who need their psychological comfort will come to the door on their own." The knife has been laid out, waiting for the fat sheep to come to be slaughtered.
"Yes, Master, I understand. I will immediately arrange for them to prepare for the birth tomorrow." Xie Jing understood now.
There are indeed a lot of fools in the West nowadays.
He has returned to China before for business and personal reasons, and people in his hometown still think more normally.
Stark drove his R8, speeding down the highway.
Some big bosses like to have people drive, with them sitting in the back or on the passenger side.
But Teacher Tony was not happy.
If it's a luxury car, such as a Rolls-Royce, he might even let the driver drive it.
However, he must drive the sports car himself.
He is a master, a master who has no problem participating in competitions.
Teacher Tony enjoys the smooth pushing feeling of the car under his control.
This is a man's romance.
The only thing that didn't make him feel romantic was that he was driving late at night to answer questions from a group of bureaucrats.
And these damn bureaucrats are probably still thinking about his steel suit.
As smart as Stark was, he had already guessed why he was being summoned.
A lot of credit goes to the Department of Defense and those guys in the Senate.
Precisely because he drove for several hours at night, Teacher Tony didn't get enough sleep the next day.
Therefore, when he needed to be questioned at nine o'clock in the morning, Teacher Tony was a little absent-minded.
Of course, in essence, he is actually posing with the US government.
What can you do to me?
For example, now, he completely ignored the senator on the stage and turned to whisper to Pepper.
The other party had to knock on the table, "Mr. Stark, can we continue questioning? Mr. Stark, please pay attention!"
At this time, Teacher Tony turned around reluctantly, looking confident and confident, "What?"
"Please don't whisper to each other, okay?" There was a helplessness in the senator's tone. Anyone who can get into politics is not a fool.
He could obviously feel that Stark didn't take him seriously.
"Of course." However, he had not yet completely turned around, as if he was ready to continue chatting with Pepper at any time.
There was a burst of laughter from the audience.
"Do you have a very special weapon?"
"No!" Stark's tone was firm.
Although the senator above wanted to laugh, he still held back, "You didn't?"
"I don't! It depends on how you define the word weapon." There is a lot to be said about how to define it.
If the U.S. government gets mad, the Stark Group can hire a large team of lawyers to accompany the government in a war of words.
As long as enough money is given, the steel suit is not a weapon.
"What about the steel suit?"
"My device doesn't fit your definition."
"But then how do you explain your device?"
"I'll explain it according to its specific definition, Senator." Stark thought about it casually and came up with it.
"So..." The senator looked forward to it.
"Well, that's a high-tech prosthesis." His words immediately made a large group of people below laugh.
Stark looked back with some embarrassment, and then immediately replied seriously, "Yes, this is the most accurate explanation I gave it."
However, the senator insisted that it was a weapon and tried to use the interests of the American people to morally kidnap Stark.
Xia Yan shook his head while watching in front of the TV.
It seems that this senator can only do so much. He wants to go further? impossible.
If you offend a big capitalist like Stark, your political career is almost over.
Although he did this for other people in the government who would offend all the capital, he did it after all.
Then, he has to bear the consequences.
