Superman

Chapter 45 Vibrating Shield, Mysterious Country

"Long time no see, Howard."

With great difficulty, Luke withdrew from the admiration and applause of the crowd and returned to the temporary base of the Strategic Science Corps.

Walking through the door, I saw Howard Stark, who was the chief scientific research consultant, was busy.

He holds multiple positions and has multiple identities.

He is not only the largest weapons sponsor of the Allied Forces, but also a bright-minded and first-class scientist.

Not only his own financial resources are strong, his hands-on skills are also very strong, and he has invented many novel gadgets for the Allies.

Many tycoons of the Ministry of National Defense have a good impression of this arms tycoon.

Talents like this will naturally not be ignored by the Strategic Science Corps.

In the name of a research consultant, Colonel Phillips enlisted Howard into the army-even though the old-school soldier didn't like him.

"Luke-do I need to call you Brigadier General?"

Howard turned his head and glanced, then said with a chuckle.

"Congratulations, once again becoming a hero of the Allied Forces! To be honest, I really envy you, I only need to report my name, so that countless women can give in and hug me, and I have to show my car. The key, book a seat in a high-end restaurant, and show off your humor and charm by the way. Only those beautiful girls are willing to sleep with me."

In these days when he came to the Strategic Science Corps, Luke had a clear understanding of Howard.

It was different from the later mature and solemn founder of SHIELD.

Now, the arms tycoon who led Stark Industries to the rise is no different from his son.

Like to hook up with beautiful women to prove his powerful charm as a male creature.

There will never be praise and affirmation for others in that mouth-it is said that this is the usual arrogant and poisonous tongue of the Stark family.

Compared to Tony Stark, who has not yet become Iron Man, he only sees machines and women.

Howard only has one more hobby than his son, making money.

In just a few decades, Stark Industries was able to catch up with the footsteps of established giants such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, etc., and try to stand alongside them and then catch up.

Among them, Howard's long-sleeved communicative ability, and the genius-like brain, occupy a large part of the credit.

"I don't think your tricks are not a hundred-thinking lark, right?"

Luke ridiculed his words.

In the Strategic Science Corps, many people said that this unruly playboy, who took the risk to go to the front line, was completely directed at the glamorous female agent, Peggy Carter.

The other party wanted to pick off this charming and thorny red rose and kiss Fangze.

It's a pity that Carter ignored him and turned down the invitation to date many times.

"After that flight, Carter and I went for a cheese fondue."

Howard was triumphant, like a victorious soldier.

"Mr. Stark, don’t you think that I don’t know that the so-called'cheese fondue' is cheese and bread? If you have eaten bread together, even if you have captured your heart, wouldn’t it happen to half a New York woman? Relationship."

Luke sneered deliberately.

"What do you know, be patient with women."

Howard was not angry. Instead, he assumed a predecessor's posture and taught: "You have to be like Don Quixote who charged at the windmill, and fail again. At the same time, don't lose the bottom line too much and behave incomparably. Urgent, it will make the other person think that your relationship is cheap and don’t take it seriously, but you have to be cold and warm, and appear at any time. If a woman’s heart is a strong castle, then I am definitely the best at attacking cities in this world. The general of war!"

"Since Carter has promised to eat with me, then one step closer, it won't be too far."

Luke faintly smiled when he saw Howard flattered himself.

The appearance of the other party is quite similar to his son.

It is also one of the traditions of the Stark family to watch love.

However, in Luke's view, Howard is both a successful businessman and the world's top scientist.

Compared to his son, this Iron Man dad is actually better in all aspects.

The first is Tony Stark's high-tech armor, the core technology used by the Ark reactor.

Howard had been developed as early as a century ago, but due to the material conditions at the time and the limitations of the times, it could not meet the requirements of miniaturization.

Otherwise, no matter how clever Tony is, he wants to knock out a suit of armor with a hammer in a dark and humid cave, and design an unprecedented cold nuclear fusion energy, which is tantamount to a fantasy.

His dad has already paved the way to become a superhero!

Later, Tony, who became Iron Man, was troubled by palladium poisoning, and Howard first discovered the new element to solve the problem and left it to his son.

In other words, his father's mind is ahead of the entire age!

The reason for Tony's future achievements, except for Stark Industries as a solid financial support, solid technical support.

More importantly, he inherited the knowledge left by his father!

That is the most precious legacy!

"I heard that you took away the Lockheed Martin fighter aircraft order contract, and recently won a passenger aircraft order contract that should have been given to them. Someone from the Ministry of Defense has expressed dissatisfaction with you."

Luke said casually.

Howard, who was busy studying the HYDRA energy weapon, looked a little ugly, and said meanly: "I told the secretary about this problem. There is fierce competition among peers. This is inevitable. Lockheed- If Martin is dissatisfied, let the researchers under their hands work harder to try to keep up with my genius brain!"

Can make Howard, who was still personable and taught the experience of sultry sister, instantly turned into a poisonous tongue.

It can be seen that Lockheed Martin has indeed put some pressure on Stark Industry.

"Why, Your Excellency Brigadier General, are you going to lend a helping hand to help Stark Industries tide over the difficulties?"

As a wise man, Howard quickly understood other meanings from Luke's words.

"With all due respect, you may not be able to get involved in this kind of thing."

The head of Stark Industries said very tactfully that Luke's current position may not help much.

After all, the military rank of the epaulettes is one thing, but the actual power they possess is another.

Unless Luke can sit in that position of Eisenhower, he may be able to speak.

"The future, no one can say, right, Howard?"

Luke looked at the new weapons of the Strategic Science Corps, and glanced down at a shiny silver shield.

"Can you give this to me? Steve will definitely like it."

Howard, who was lost in thought, waved his hand and motioned to Luke to take it casually.

Anyway, from the perspective of military rank, the opponent should be the leader of the Strategic Science Corps.

"However, you are sure Rogers will use this thing, it is just an unfinished product."

Perceiving Luke's vague meaning of cooperation, Howard's attitude changed a bit.

He is a pure businessman, far from noble sentiments and good qualities.

It is impossible for an arms dealer who is expecting to make a fortune in war to take moral conscience very seriously.

As for patriotism, it is something that will only wake up after you reach the top of your career.

Just like only successful entrepreneurs will be keen on charity and show their love.

"Trust me, Steve will absolutely fall in love with it at first sight! I really don't want to see him carry a trash can lid on the battlefield."

Luke said with a smile.

Perhaps it was because he was beaten up from a young age and often used the lid of the trash can on the side of the road as a weapon, which caused Captain America to like to fight with a shield.

"The material of this shield is very special, called'vibration gold'. It has the special effect of absorbing kinetic energy, and it hardly conducts heat and kinetic energy. To a certain extent, it is indestructible!"

Howard explained.

"It's a pity that this material is too scarce! There is no way the whole army can equip it!"

Seeing Howard's regretful expression, Luke's eyes flickered, but he knew that a huge amount of gold veins existed somewhere.

Wakanda.

A third world country that seems to be backward, but is actually technologically advanced, but behaves extremely backward.

Hidden among the mountains of the African continent, few people even know its existence.

"You can go shopping if you have time."

Luke looked at the shield in his hand, reflecting his youthful face.
