Chapter 108 The Hand
“Should we launch an upgraded version right away?”
In Primos, Dr. Connors asked with some concern.
In his opinion, it was unlikely that they would be able to come up with another good invention in such a short period of time, but launching an upgraded self-healing potion immediately just for an exhibition would undoubtedly cause the company to lose a lot of wealth.
"Of course not," Bant shook his head.
Right now, even the production of the initial version of the self-healing potion has not been met. If the upgraded version is offered, the military and SHIELD, who have only paid a deposit, might breach the contract immediately and demand to purchase the upgraded version of the potion directly.
That would be a huge loss for him.
"Just pick up any invention to get by," said Bant.
His original plan was to launch the initial version of the self-healing potion at the expo, but now with Norman's help, Primus no longer needs to advertise at the expo.
Now, his only goal is to take down Hammer Industries.
He knew that Justin Hammer would join forces with Ivan to create a group of steel legions.
In fact, in the past month, Ivan had attacked Tony with his slightly backward equipment, but unfortunately he was unsuccessful.
Now, even in Primus, with his superhuman hearing, he could hear that Hammer Industries was modifying those steel armors day and night.
"It just so happens that I'm planning on building some robots to protect Queens."
Bant thought.
Justin Hammer is a person with no scientific research ability, but he is very good at defrauding funds. He knows what the military will want after seeing Iron Man's suit, so he is working towards a wearable suit from the beginning to the end.
But Ivan was not so rigid.
He wanted to build an iron army, so the machines had to be able to be remotely controlled.
This is exactly what Bant wanted.
He had already made a plan. After modifying the machines, he would sneak over and do some tinkering to prevent this prodigal son from blowing up all the robots in one breath!
"This is my property!"
"What is your property?"
Connors was playing with the lizard in his hand, and was startled by Bant's sudden shout. Then he seemed to remember something and asked, "Speaking of property, the company has made money. Isn't it time to change the working environment?"
"A small breeding room can't raise many lizards, let alone other animals. At this rate, it will probably take us several years to complete the orders we have now."
"Also, I can't always put the lab and the room together. That's unhygienic."
Connors complained a lot, but it could be summed up in one sentence: the company was too small and he wanted to live in a big mansion.
"Don't worry, there will be an ecological park and a building."
Bant said this while looking at Hammer Industries not far away.
Then, he thought about what products to use for the exhibition. To be fair, he had a lot of technology to refer to after returning from Sakaar, but most of these technologies were weapons.
But Bant didn't intend to make weapons, or rather, he didn't intend to make weapons and then sell them to Mold.
After much thought, he finally decided to make an anti-gravity car as a display piece for this expo.
"Anti-gravity system? Can this thing really succeed?" Connors asked in surprise.
Although he is a doctor of biology, he still knows something about anti-gravity systems.
Because this thing is as likely to be a scam as a perpetual motion machine.
"I remember that in the last century, Howard Stark had the idea of an anti-gravity car, but he was limited by the times. However, to this day, the anti-gravity system has not been realized."
Even Iron Man's armor achieves flight through propulsion.
He looked at Bant with a strange look, and then said: "Forget about inventing an anti-power device. As long as you can explain the principle of the anti-power system and come up with a feasible concept, you will be the founder of new physics."
"It's not that exaggerated," Bant said.
The physics of the Marvel world is not the same as the physics of the real world.
Do you think Marvel is a work of science fiction?
Wrong!
It's supposed to be a magical work.
Moreover,
"Anti-gravity devices are not zero-gravity devices or devices that change gravity. I just need to give a reaction force to balance it with gravity."
"Aren't you trying to change your concept?"
Connors' eyes widened. If this was the case, then Iron Man's armor would have already had the same technology. And the lesser Green Goblin's skateboard, didn't it also use this principle to float in the air?
"Just tell me whether you are against it or not?"
Bant said immediately.
Of course, it is impossible for him to directly apply Iron Man's technology.
Otherwise, if you take Iron Man's technology to attend his expo, wouldn't that be a slap in his face?
Bant was worried that Tony would fly to Harry in his armor and yell at him:
Pot, how dare you use my magic on me?
"How about using sonic levitation technology, or air levitation?"
Connors shrugged, indicating that he couldn't offer much useful advice on the matter.
Bant didn't mind, and became a little warrior to immerse himself in research. Fortunately, the armor he got from Tony and the technological information of Sakaar could give him inspiration.
At this time, Connors came over with his little lizard, just like an old man taking a parrot for a walk.
"Oh, by the way, now that the company has grown, we can't just be the two of us..."
"And Harry," Bant said without looking up.
"Okay, three..." "Sorry, there's me too, Mr. Connors." Eunice interrupted him coldly.
Connors: ...
"That's four, but it's still too few. We need to hire more employees, such as cleaners, doormen, and people who specialize in negotiating business," said Connors.
Now Harry and Norman are helping with almost all of Primus' orders.
It's such a big company, and Bant is often away. Connors has a sensitive identity and is not good at speaking. He is good at scientific research, but he is no match for those old foxes when it comes to business.
So, after listening to Connors' words, Bant also started thinking.
As the company grows, it does need more employees to handle more matters.
Originally he only thought of scientific researchers, but a company cannot have only scientific researchers.
Even Tony needs a little pepper.
So he put down what he was holding, scanned the area with his frog-like horizontal pupils, and asked, "Any good candidates?"
It was not Connors who answered him, but Eunice:
"Yes, some, sir."
Then, Eunice projected a number of resumes into the air one by one for Bant and Connors to check.
"Although Primos Technology has not released any recruitment information yet, after the self-healing serum was released, many job seekers wanted to find a job here and sent their resumes to our website and email."
"Well……"
Bant held his chin, pretending to think.
The resumes that Eunice selected were all very excellent, and some of them were simply amazing.
However, Bant would not be fooled by the words on paper.
It goes without saying that among these resumes, there are probably very few real job seekers, and most of them are spies who want to find out the formula of the medicine.
The biggest evidence is that he found an "acquaintance" among them.
Natasha Romanoff.
An agent of .
Natasha had revealed her identity since the last time Stark Tower was occupied by Dong Wu, so naturally she could not continue to work there.
Bant didn't expect that she would turn around and send her resume to him again.
"Are you interested in her resume?" Eunice seemed to notice that Bant's eyes were focused on Natasha, so she magnified her personal information.
"She also worked for Stark Group?" Connors said in surprise.
"If you are interested, Eunice will send you an interview invitation," said Eunice.
"Don't! Don't!"
Bant quickly interrupted Eunice.
Connors found him a little strange.
"What's wrong with her?"
"There are too many problems." Bant shook his head and said, "These women are not good people!"
"Are you worried that she's here to steal the potion formula? That's unlikely, right? I don't think Stark would do such a thing."
"Maybe Stark won't, but who told you that it was Stark standing behind her?" Bant waved his hand and swept away all the resumes.
He didn't explain anything to Connors, but just said: "Be patient for a while, Doctor. We have too many secrets..."
He pointed to the small broken watch behind him.
"This place is too small. If I recruit people now, the secret of the watch will be discovered soon and made public. Then I will be in trouble."
Connors also expressed his understanding of this.
"The technology inside this watch is so amazing," he exclaimed. "I don't know what kind of ingenuity can create it."
The ability to transform into an alien is somewhat similar to the lizard serum, but it is actually very different.
Not to mention the other tech inside the watch.
Of course, more importantly, the alien in the watch has terrible destructive power.
Although this watch was not created as a weapon, humans have always had a talent for turning anything into a weapon.
While Bant was studying the anti-gravity car, a conspiracy against Spider-Man was brewing in secret.
Hell's Kitchen.
Bullseye, as a messenger sent by Kingpin, found Madam Gao, one of the five fingers of the Hand.
"What can I do for you, Kingpin?"
Mrs. Gao was a rather thin woman who looked to be about fifty years old, with a sharp look in her eyes.
She did not welcome Bullseye's visit, but she did not expel him immediately.
In the powder business, Jin Bing and Mrs. Gao are both competitors and partners.
Before this, their enemy had always been Daredevil, but more than a month ago, a guy named Spider-Man suddenly appeared and together with Daredevil dealt a heavy blow to their industry.
And now, there are two Spider-Men.
Yesterday, the air conditioner repairman came after 0:30, and he worked until almost 2:00, but he still didn't fix the air conditioner. Luckily, I bought an electric fan, otherwise I would have been so hot...
