The mechanical craze in Marvel

"There is indeed some good news. Do you know Locke Technology?"

Josh moved slightly, then nodded and said:

“I know that Locke Technology is a military technology company. As the police department of Central City, I have had some dealings with Locke Technology, but not many, so I don’t know much about the specifics.”

"Sir, I have been accepted by Locke Technology Corporation."

Upon hearing what Paris Aaron said, Jofest paused for a moment, then frowned.

“You mean Locke Technology Corporation? Sorry, I can’t let you go there. It’s an arms company. I know your intelligence, but I’m sure you wouldn’t be interested in joining an arms company.”

This is precisely the main reason why Li Ailun didn't have high hopes of being able to persuade Joe West.

He knew very well that Jofest wasn't particularly interested in military companies, and the same was true for Barry Allen. However, after hearing what Blokock had said, he knew that although Locke Technology was an established company...

However, PokerTech's goals are not limited to the military. Although it does not wish to enter the military field, this does not mean that it has no passion for science.

So Barry Allen began by saying:

"Locktech is indeed a weapons company, but Locktech's structure is not just about weapons. In fact, Locktech today is based on weapons."

However, Lockheed Martin has already invested heavily in purchasing various research equipment. Lockheed Martin's current goal is comprehensive development, encompassing both the aerospace and civilian smart technology sectors. I believe that joining Lockheed Martin would offer us a promising future.

Upon hearing what Paris Allen said, Geoffrey's already furrowed brows furrowed even more.

Although he didn't know much about scientific research and therefore didn't know much about technology companies, he was very clear that a company's capabilities were limited, and it was definitely not an easy thing to have one's field span across various industries.

He didn't believe a fledgling military company could achieve this. Indeed, many military companies are involved in areas beyond just military matters, but he didn't believe a Lockheed Martin could reach such a level.

So it's quite clear now that Paris has been fooled by this tech company. After all, Barry Allen's research capabilities are definitely not bad, and even if his abilities were applied to the military field, they would certainly be of some use.

Under such circumstances, he didn't want his only son to be working for a military company, because Barry Allen would definitely regret it. He didn't want him to have any regrets about this after he left.

So he didn't hesitate to refuse again, but this time Paris Allen's attitude was very firm. He knew that Joe West did not agree with this matter, mainly because Locke Technology was a military company.

Moreover, he wasn't very clear about the background of Locke Technology, but Barry Allen himself had been in contact with Nolan Locke, so he was very clear about the series of plans that Nolan Locke had made, and it could even be said that the civilian technology field was already prepared.

It has reached an extremely exaggerated level. Now, all Locke Technology lacks is an opportunity. Once the opportunity comes, Locke Technology will definitely experience rapid growth and will definitely not be trapped in the military field as it is now, just as Nolan Locke said.

Lockheed Martin is a military company simply because expanding its scale through arms is the easiest thing to do, since arms are absolutely the most profitable business.

Moreover, the weapons it produces are not weapons of mass destruction, such as various missile models. The weapons it produces are mainly intelligent machines, which are only good at small-scale combat and play a great role in security. Therefore, they cannot be simply regarded as military weapons. It is very important for them to consider them as defensive weapons.

Perhaps there was a slight possibility of sophistry in this statement, but for Paris Allen, he was completely convinced of it, so this time he recounted everything he had heard to Jovis.

He believed that as long as he explained things clearly enough, Jofest would definitely not object to it, after all, Jofest was a very open-minded father.

After hearing what Paris Allen said, Joe West, though still doubtful, ultimately didn't stop him. He knew Paris Allen knew far more about these things than he did. Nevertheless, he spoke solemnly:

"I hope everything you've said is true. Trust me, I will investigate using my own methods. If I find anything untrue, I will deal with it immediately and will absolutely not let you get involved."

Paris Allen nodded solemnly, then laughed and said:

“Joe, let’s pop the champagne. This is a big deal for me.”

Chapter 435

Upon hearing Barry Allen's words, Joe West did not refuse again this time. As far as he was concerned, since he had confirmed that Barry Allen had a clear goal and a good understanding of the matter, he believed that Barry Allen was an adult who could take responsibility for his decisions.

Naturally, he wouldn't object to opening the champagne today under these circumstances. For 8:20, this is an extremely important matter.

Although Joe West still felt some regret that Barry Allen couldn't continue working with him at the police department, he believed it was a good thing for Barry Allen and could change his entire future.

After obtaining Joe West's consent, Barry Allen arrived at Lockheed Martin's headquarters the following day to report for duty.

Upon seeing Paris Allen, Nolan Locke smiled. He hadn't expected Paris Allen to arrive so quickly, but this was a good thing for him, as he had many things he needed to research through Paris Allen.

Regarding the explosion of the particle accelerator at New City Laboratory, there are many things that need to be clarified before it can determine whether it can gain some superpowers from it.

This is an extremely important matter for him. After all, if it were just a matter of luck, he wouldn't need to do these things at all, and they would be meaningless. Only a clear goal can make him make certain choices. Although he is destined not to be able to completely control the acquisition of superpowers, at least he can gain some inclination. You know, although most of those superpowers are harmless.

However, some superpowers still have significant drawbacks for it. Nolan Locke, however, had a plan for this, having encountered methods to reverse superpowers when he traveled to the Fantastic Four world, although the two methods might differ somewhat.

However, for Nolan Locke, the difference is not significant. He only needs to make some modifications to complete the process. If the superpower he has acquired is not satisfactory, it is not a very difficult thing for Nolan Locke to change it. However, these are just theories. To actually do it, some research is needed to perfect these things.

So Nolan Locke didn't hesitate at all and immediately assigned some tasks to Paris Allen.

Seeing that everything was on track, a sense of relief washed over Nolan Locke.

Next, we just wait for events to unfold, and then wait for the future, for the Flash to appear.

There's still some time before the Flash appears, and he's made plans for that time. First and foremost, he needs to further develop his technological weaponry. For him right now, the area that can most quickly improve his strength is the military field. The previous Terminator already made a name for himself with Lockheed Martin's technology.

For him, as long as he can maintain this reputation and continuously develop new technological equipment, his Locke Technology Company will be able to obtain a steady stream of funds to support research on various other things. Only after all the technologies have been rolled out can he gain a foothold in the world.

After all, although he already possesses a wealth of scientific research materials, that world is ultimately different, and the requirements are also somewhat different. If he were to completely copy it, it wouldn't be very useful for him now. Only after making certain selections and then doing related things could he perfect everything and achieve his desired goal.

Moreover, he does indeed need to take on a new cover. After all, relying on his own abilities and producing too many things might not be so friendly to this world. Although this world has superhumans, most of their superpowers are restricted.

There's simply no opportunity to showcase their abilities, and right now, most superpowered individuals have no intention of doing so. Only Superman and a few superheroes or supervillains have appeared. Only when enough superpowered individuals appear in the future will they be able to demonstrate their special abilities.

Otherwise, it would inevitably attract too much unnecessary attention, which would not be of much benefit to Nolan Locke. If he had his previous peak power, he would naturally be fearless of these things, but now he is different. The power he possesses now is far too small. Although he has now surpassed the realm of ordinary people.

However, it is only beyond the scope of ordinary people. Under such circumstances, any powerful villain could kill it instantly. Therefore, Nolan Locke rarely leaves Locke Technology Company now. After all, he can still feel a certain sense of security within Locke Technology.

While Lockheed Martin isn't a perfect fortress, and given its relatively recent establishment, many of its research equipment and weapons are still underdeveloped, it's certainly safer than the outside world. However, for Lockheed, its biggest obstacle is still Reverse-Flash.

Reverse-Flash's power is far too great. If he were to appear here, it would be extremely dangerous for Nolan Locke. Fortunately, Nolan Locke is not worried that Reverse-Flash would appear in his childhood and erase his childhood.

For someone capable of time travel, the inability to travel to the past, while extremely troublesome, is indeed a terrifying method.

At least for now, Nolan Locke doesn't like experiencing such things, because once such a turmoil occurs, there's no guarantee he'll survive it, which is extremely undesirable for him. Fortunately, he doesn't need to worry about these things now, since he's not from this universe.

He came from another universe, which means he has no past. Even if you wanted to go back in time to find his existence, it would be absolutely impossible. This would prevent him from being killed when he was at his weakest. However, even so, when you appear in front of him like lightning...

He couldn't escape either, so now he had to improve the entire Locke Technology defense as soon as possible, at least to withstand the impact of speedsters like Reverse-Flash. Not only the impact of speedsters, but also other aspects, Morallock had to make all the necessary preparations, otherwise, once those damned superhumans invaded Locke Technology.

It's unlikely that Nolan Locke can be found in a safe place. The simplest solution now is to deploy his Terminator army within Locke Technology. While Terminators may not possess overwhelming power, their combined strength and various weapons make them the perfect defenders. Although they cannot withstand overly powerful enemies, the power of technology can completely compensate for the Terminators' inability to control strong opponents.

Moreover, the Terminator can withstand most troubles, at least it can deal with those that are not very powerful. In this case, it can reduce a lot of trouble for Nolan Locke. Besides these, there are other means to improve the powerful attack. Nolan Locke has created countless powerful robots before.

These powerful robots possess immense strength, but using them as a defensive measure within Locke Technology will ultimately present some challenges. After all, while these robots are incredibly powerful, if they were to be incorporated into Locke Technology owned by Nolan Locke, it would inevitably lead to the complete relocation of Locke Technology.

This would be an extremely bad thing for him, so Nolan Locke did not intend to do so, but at least some preparations were still needed. However, if technology would eventually require other means, the simplest one for Nolan Locke would be a means to shift his own world.

So now Nolan Locke plans to grow for a while first, so that his body can recover. After all, his body has only recently been modified, and under these circumstances, his body and soul are not yet fully integrated. At this time, magic poses an extremely great threat to his existence.

Therefore, he did not want to be exposed to other people in this situation. Rather than that, he would rather use a stand-in to handle his daily affairs. This was a very simple thing for Nolan, but others did not understand this at all.

Star Labs.

Reverse Lightning Elberdswan, also known as Harris Wells, had a somewhat solemn expression. He hadn't expected that the past had changed. He didn't understand why a Locke Technology Company had appeared, a name he had never heard of in his previous life. He didn't understand what went wrong that led to this problem, but he was certain that there shouldn't be any Speedster legacy at least for now.

Regardless of his actions, the existence of Locke Technology has now become a reality. He hadn't paid much attention to it initially, as his primary goal was to achieve his dream of obtaining magical power. Under these circumstances, he could accomplish this step by step without needing to do anything else. However, a few days ago, he discovered a surprising fact.

Paris Allen had disappeared. Paris Allen had always lived according to his predetermined path. Harris Wells was absolutely certain that the other party had no way of escaping his surveillance. Under such circumstances, he was not worried about anything unusual happening. But then he suddenly discovered...

The fact that Paris Allen had joined Locke Technology deepened Harrison Wells's doubts and made him uneasy. If this were to happen, would the future particle accelerator explosions follow the seasonal pattern? Would Shandanxia still exist? These were all extremely troublesome issues for him. So, after hesitating for a while, Harrison Wells made a decision: he had to go to Locke Technology to find the owner of Network Technology and understand what changes had occurred in this world.

He was certain that Locke Technology did not exist in his own world. In other words, the reason Locke Technology existed was entirely due to that person's existence. Under these circumstances, if he could find that person, whether to eliminate him or to understand why he appeared, it would be a huge benefit.

Moreover, in his view, this wasn't a particularly difficult matter. After all, although Locke Technology seemed very troublesome, it was still a newly established company, which was an extremely dangerous sign for him. Harrison Wells was certain that Locke Technology's existence must have something special about it.

Otherwise, such a coincidence wouldn't have occurred. He even suspected that Nolan Locke, the owner of Locke Technology, might be a similar entrepreneur to him, though he couldn't confirm it yet. He wasn't certain, so he hadn't made the same decision. Under these circumstances, Harrison Wells quickly disappeared from Star Labs.

They secretly infiltrated the network technology company to find Nolan Locke's existence. However, he did not know that the moment she appeared at Locke Technology, she had already been discovered by Nolan Locke. For Nolan Locke, Harrison Wells' existence was already within his expectations, and he had already made corresponding preparations for Harrison Wells' appearance at his Locke Technology company. He believed that Harrison Wells would definitely not let him go.

Under such circumstances, he did not want any trouble to arise. Therefore, he had already prepared to confront Harrison Wells. The moment Harrison Wells appeared, Locke already knew of its existence and had made corresponding contingency plans. Hong Hou immediately made the corresponding arrangements.

Now that he had discovered Harrison Wells's presence, Lanlock had no intention of hiding himself. After all, hiding himself in this situation was not a good idea. Rather than hiding, he would rather have a head-on confrontation with Harrison Wells.

If we could resolve this directly with Harris Wells here, that would be an excellent thing.

If that can't be resolved, then there are other ways to confront Harrison Wells, since he has now completely hidden himself away.

Next, we'll see just how good Harrison Wells really is.

Chapter 436

Harrison Wells, also known as Elberdswan, is the Flash's greatest enemy.

Or rather, Harrison Wells was indeed the best mentor to The Flash, Paris Allen, but later Harrison Wells was killed by King Elberdes and replaced by him. From then on, Harrison Wells became Elberdes's Swann and became the Reverse-Flash.

On his final journey, Barry Allen received much help from Elbards, also known as Harrison Wells. Because of Harrison Wells' presence, the Flash was able to embark on his superhero journey more smoothly. However, this also led to some other problems in their interactions.

Although Harrison Wells caused Paris Allen a lot of trouble, the two eventually developed a mentor-student relationship. As his greatest enemy, but also as a mentor and friend, dealing with Harrison Wells was an extremely painful thing for The Flash.

However, Harrison Wells has now appeared at Locke Technology, and it is clear that Harrison Wells' purpose is to find out what is going on at Locke Technology. For Nolan Locke, this is naturally something he cannot accept, and he does not want to have too much contact with Harrison Wells.

After all, Harrison Wells is still a huge problem. The abilities Harrison Wells possesses now are extremely frightening to him. Although Nolan Locke now has physical abilities that surpass those of ordinary people, he is still far inferior to Reverse-Flash's terrifying speed. At the moment, he cannot directly confront Harrison Wells through such means.

However, Nolan Locke has now created a Thor's Hammer armor set. This Thor's Hammer armor set can unleash tremendous power after he wears it. However, in terms of speed, it is still very different from Harris Wells. Under such circumstances, Nolan Locke will naturally not appear in front of Wells.

He didn't want such a situation to occur, giving Harris Wells an opportunity to take him down. This was absolutely unacceptable to Nolan Locke. Fortunately, Harris Wells had already appeared at Locke Technology, which was a very good thing for him. After all, he had already made this place as secure as an iron barrel. Although it couldn't compare to the previous Locke Technology, it was at least one of the safest places he could feel.

Under these circumstances, a faint look of joy appeared in Nolan Locke's eyes. He had not expected Harrison Wells to appear here. However, since he was now here, it was time for Nolan Locke to test him. In any case, he did not need to relocate to the Western Regions with Harrison Wells, so it did not mean much to him. As long as he could deal with Harrison Wells here.

This would be an extremely important matter for him, and the benefits would naturally be numerous. However, he also knew that dealing with Harrison Wells would not be an easy task.

However, this did not mean he did not intend to make any probes, directly from the Tang Dynasty to Harrison Wells. After arriving in Tang Dynasty, he noticed that the entire Locke Technology seemed to have been sealed off. Seeing this, Harrison Wells frowned. He did not understand why this was happening. Locke Technology was clearly just an ordinary technology company. Although it was involved in the military field, he had not felt any difference from anything before.

But what he was seeing now was as if Locke Technology were a den of dragons and tigers. Although this was just an exaggerated description, he was obviously not satisfied with such an unexpected situation. After all, it was an extremely troublesome matter for him.

He didn't want things to go wrong because of this situation, as it would be a huge loss for him. But now that he was here, he naturally had to go upstairs and take a look. Looking at the Lockheed Martin that was like an iron barrel in front of him, Harrison Wells didn't hesitate at all. He turned into lightning and rushed upstairs. But just as he was about to go up, a machine gun suddenly appeared in front of him.

Then he launched an attack on him. Harrison Wells did not hesitate at all. He moved forward quickly and dodged all the bullets at high speed. In the blink of an eye, he had rushed to the weapon and destroyed it with a single chop. The power generated by the Flash's high speed was extremely large.

Although the weapon was extremely hard, being made of steel, it was completely meaningless in the face of his hand blade, and was directly pierced through. Harrison Wells frowned, then chuckled and looked at the camera next to him.

“Nolan Locke, I think we haven’t met yet, but I didn’t expect that you would have discovered my presence as soon as I entered Locke Technology.”

Harrison Wells wore a faint smile. Although he suspected he had been discovered, he wasn't too worried. After all, he possessed absolute power, so he was extremely confident in himself. Under these circumstances, even though he might have been discovered by Nolan Locke...

However, it wasn't to the point where he needed to be on guard. After hearing Harrison Wells' words, Nolan Locke simply smiled. He knew that Harrison Wells had indeed guessed that he might have discovered his existence, but he was certain that Harrison Wells was unlikely to be found.

Nolan Locke had no intention of communicating with him, but as a greeting, he still deployed two machine guns, simultaneously firing at Harrison Wells. Intense spray of gunfire erupted, heading straight for Wells, but unsurprisingly, Harrison Wells dodged the attack with his skill. Seeing this, Nolan Locke was somewhat disappointed, but not entirely surprised. Although he had relied on a sneak attack, there was a possibility that he could have injured Harrison Wells, but now that he hadn't, it was clear he hadn't.

Anyway, he had other methods up his sleeve. What Harris Wells was seeing now was just a standard appetizer, not something designed to deal with superhumans. These things were only for ordinary robbers and bandits, since there were many overconfident individuals in this world.

Nolan Locke, who wanted to infiltrate those weapons companies to steal high technology and gain huge profits or some boost to himself, did not want to be invaded by such people. He was very clear that as long as someone dared to invade his company, even if they died, Nolan Locke could guarantee that Locke Technology would not encounter any trouble. After all, if someone invaded another company, even if they were killed, they could only consider it bad luck.

Even legally, this is fully supported. It may cause some trouble under normal circumstances, but Lockheed Martin is different from other companies. Lockheed Martin is a weapons company, so its defenses are naturally extremely serious. Under such circumstances, if someone dares to come and cause trouble, then being killed should be considered as well.

Therefore, Nolan Locke had absolutely no psychological burden. Having prepared these weapons, and seeing that Harrison Wells had already crossed them, Nolan Locke had no doubts, and immediately spoke to the Queen:
