The mechanical craze in Marvel

Chapter 189 Controllable Mutation, Preliminary Conception

As he watched the distance recede from Earth, Nolan began preparations for his experiment.

The people at Stark Industries were conducting research different from his.

The two have no connection whatsoever, and naturally they don't have much contact.

Once in space, everyone got busy.

Space travel is not an easy thing, especially in this day and age.

In the main universe, space travel has become less of a rarity over time.

Many tech companies possess such technology and capabilities, but that was years later, and there was the Battle of New York, and even the baptism of the Dark Elves.

Learning from others is essential for progress, but the Avengers hadn't been born yet, and Tony Stark had just become Iron Man.

Even the Fantastic Four, a long-established superhero team, has not yet been officially formed.

Without external pressure, a technological explosion would not have begun.

Therefore, space travel is a very rare thing in this world.

A solar flare will reach Earth in two days.

Nolan was silently calculating.

Earth.

Although Nolan was no longer involved, the release of Baymax proceeded smoothly because he had already arranged the work in advance.

Before Baymax was released, although everyone had high expectations for it, they believed that the Baymax robot was not technically difficult and that many of its functions could be replaced, so sales were likely to be limited.

But they soon realized they were wrong.

Even though they had repeatedly overestimated the pre-sale amount of Big White, the actual results still surprised everyone.

"80 units!"

The tall, leggy female secretary was astonished when she saw the number of pre-orders.

"I wonder if the boss will go crazy if he sees this number."

She looked somewhat expectant.

Boss, you're about to become rich.

She touched her long legs, somewhat looking forward to what would happen next.

Besides those within Locke Technology, its peers were also incredibly shocked.

Tony Stark sipped the coffee Pepper had brought him, a magazine in his hand.

Although Tony Stark in this world is also a playboy, he was captured by Pepper Potts very early on.

"Tony, have you heard about Locke Technology?"

Little Chili asked.

Tony Stark looked up at her.

"Rock Technologies? Oh, I remember now, that's Nolan Rock's company, right?"

Honestly, I already regret letting him on my spaceship. I think it was a complete waste of time. Um... sorry, what was that you said?

Little Chili rolled her eyes.

"You should know about Lockheed Martin's Big White robot, right?"

Although it was a question, Little Chili's expression was confident.

Although Tony Stark has all sorts of flaws, at least he is serious about research. Since he was willing to experiment with Nolan Locke, he must have known about Locke Technology's past.

"of course."

Tony Stark scoffed:

"That idea was really stupid. The technology used in that robot was just ordinary mechanical technology, with nothing advanced about it. The only thing worth mentioning was its power system, but even that wasn't anything special."

Most importantly, that kind of concept is so common, yet Nolan Locke actually made it the company's core strategy. I think that idiot might even go bankrupt because of it.

I have no idea about Tony Stark's rant.

Little Chili glanced at him, then said:

"As far as I know, pre-orders for the Big White robot have already started."

3000 units?

Tony Stark felt he had given a fair figure, setting aside his personal opinion about Nolan Locke.

"No, it's 80 units."

"This is impossible!"

Tony Stark called out.

This is only the first day of pre-sales. Given the size of Locke Technology and the concept behind this robot, he felt that selling 100,000 units would be an extraordinary achievement.

Hmm... there's not much difference between 3000 and 100,000.

He has always been fair.

Little Chili's eyes were filled with uncontrollable admiration.

Even Tony Stark thought it was impossible, and others probably thought even less so.

Baymax, the robot, created a miracle.

Tony Stark looked grim.

He hated people who didn't play by the rules. Was the person who bought the Big White robot crazy?

Unfortunately, that's reality.

Doom Group.

Susan Stone sat at a restaurant table, a newspaper beside her.

"Rocktech's Big White robot pre-sales are reaching 80?"

That's an outrageous number.

Susan Stone thought.

I wonder who developed this giant white robot. It seems that the technology field is about to undergo some changes.

As a secretary, she is very knowledgeable about all matters, big and small, in the field of technology.

Naturally, they knew what this meant.

Meanwhile, Reed Richards also learned of this news.

Upon seeing the message, Reed Richards frowned.

"It's unbelievable."

"what happened?"

Bengrame, who was repairing a switchboard, was a little curious.

Reed Richards spoke up, clearly annoyed:

"Someone used something with no technical content to fool a lot of people. Oh well, it's not important."

Reed Richards shook his head.

"We need to contact other investors."

He has contacted many companies, but the results have been terrible. He has been rejected by many companies without even meeting the boss.

Bengraeme hesitated for a moment.

He admired Reed Richards' talent, but at the same time he was well aware of Reed's personality, which might be difficult for people who didn't know him to accept.

"Or, should I go look for it?"

Although I don't know much about the specifics of the research, all we need is an opportunity to meet the other party's boss.

Upon hearing Ben Graeme's words, Reed Richards hesitated for a moment.

"Okay, maybe things will turn out differently if we use someone else."

Clearly, he also knew that he wasn't a very good talker.

However, he didn't care about that. He was a genius, so he didn't need to maintain those so-called interpersonal relationships.

Bengrave's eyes hardened when he saw Reed Richards nod.

He was determined to get Reed a chance.

He then reviewed Reed's list again, hoping to get a chance.

Finally, his attention settled on the Doom Group.

Maybe he should try again.

Unlike Reed Richards, Bengraem didn't have that aggressive vibe at all, so the documents he was holding were quickly kept by the Doom Group.

He even went to several other companies without stopping, which would have been the best outcome if there were other companies to choose from.

"The study of the implicit logic of the human genome?"

In her office, Susan Stone saw the document.

She didn't pay much attention at first, but in the end, she noticed the name on the research paper—Reed Richards.

It shouldn't be just one person.

Susan Stone thought to herself, and then she handed the document to Viktor von Doom in his office.

“Victor, perhaps you should take a look at this document.”

Viktor von Doom picked up the document and raised an eyebrow.

He knew perfectly well what Reed Richards had been up to lately, but he never expected him to come looking for him.
