Superman

"The communications industry? The American Telephone and Telegraph Company (ATT) is already doing it. They have the core technology of Bell Labs. Even if Stark Industries enters, they may not be able to compete."

Hearing Luke's proposal, Howard shook his head repeatedly.

Entering the communications industry as an operator, where are the orders from the Ministry of Defense?

Moreover, the initial investment is huge.

Laying cables and building communication systems are all necessary tasks that require a lot of time and cost.

Most importantly, Stark Industries has to face the terrifying enemy of Bell Labs.

Even with Howard's critical eyes, he has to admit that it is the greatest laboratory in the world.

It may not be as good as the Manhattan Project, where geniuses and bigwigs from all over the world gather together.

But it can also be called an abundance of talents, which should not be underestimated.

Unlike his son, Howard occasionally has naive and romantic idealism.

For example, abandon the main business of the company, close the weapon manufacturing plant, put on steel armor and become a superhero.

As a businessman, Howard is very rational.

He is not optimistic about Luke's proposal, and believes that the communications industry is not a good choice to expand.

"Don't rush to answer, read my plan before talking."

Since he was looking for Howard to cooperate, Luke would definitely not come empty-handed.

Relying on his quick-thinking super brain and his knowledge of related technologies in his previous life, he spent a few days working out a plan.

Frankly speaking, once Superman uses his brain, he can indeed surpass more than 90% of geniuses.

It's like turning on the acceleration hook and clicking the technology tree crazy.

For the same twenty-four hours, Luke seemed to be able to +1 every second.

Obviously it is a difficult problem to solve, and the answer can be found after a few glances.

"Bell Labs is indeed the greatest laboratory on the planet, but this does not mean that the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (ATT) can always monopolize the communications industry."

While Howard looked through the plan, Luke explained his thoughts, “You may not have noticed that due to the development of the automobile industry, more and more people own cars, the demand for mobile phones is great, and communication is no longer possible. Limited to the family. According to my plan, Stark Industries will definitely be able to open a new era of mobile communications. Even with the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (ATT) supported by Bell Labs, it may not be an opponent!"

Luke certainly knows that AT&T has a trump card, Bell Labs.

There have been eleven Nobel Prize winners in physics, four Turing Prize winners, and 16 winners of the highest American science prize.

Since its establishment, more than 30,000 patents have been obtained, an average of one per day.

Many key technologies for later generations of computers, TVs, mobile phones, cameras and the Internet came from Bell Labs.

It is no exaggeration to say that it changed the world.

In the original timeline, American Telephone and Telegraph (ATT) relied on Bell Laboratories to dominate the communications industry for more than 100 years, and it has always been the leader and no one can surpass it.

If it were not for the subsequent anti-monopoly law, which led to the dismemberment of this behemoth, the communications empire built by Bell Labs would not have collapsed.

What Luke wants to do is to take the lead in the era of mobile communications, and then use the energy of Stark Industries to calmly deploy.

From communication services to the Internet and mobile TV, it permeates every household.

As long as this cake is made, it will not be worse than Stark Industries' own business.

"You did this alone?"

Howard listened while flipping through the plan.

The expression on his face went from being careless at first to becoming more solemn.

Halfway through, the most successful arms tycoon in the United States couldn't help but his breathing became heavy, and his page turning speed became faster and faster.

"Unbelievable! Luke, do you know that because of your existence, for the first time I think God is unfair!"

Half an hour later, Howard said in a complicated German.

There was surprise, excitement, and a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"I've never been jealous of your super-human physique-except when facing too many beautiful girls, and when you are a little weak. I have always been proud of my genius brain, but-you refreshed my perception today."

"It's not that you have discovered any novel technology or made some amazing breakthrough. It's that your vision is completely beyond this era!"

"This plan is like a key, directly showing the future fifty years from now before me!"

Luke shrugged, taking a moment to appreciate Howard's emotions that he couldn't keep calm.

He said that this is only the basic operation of the traverser. If you want to defeat the world-famous Bell Labs, of course, you have to throw out advanced technology accumulation of the same generation.

Moreover, can the matter of the traverser be regarded as plagiarism?

This is a reasonable use of the advantages, leading technological innovation ahead of time.

Luke comforted himself so.

"This is unscientific! I didn't mean to offend, but Luke, you haven't even attended college. How did you come up with this!?"

Howard held the thick plan and calmed his mood by pacing back and forth.

In this thick pile of paper, a blueprint for the future of the communication era is simply depicted!

From the internal integrated chips, precision parts, to the core technology of analog signals and frequency division multiple access, even encrypted channels, automatic connection and so on.

Including the establishment of urban communication networks, the later development of cellular mobile communication networks, the miniaturization of mobile phones...

Contents such as this are completely filled with a thick stack of paper.

The densely packed large sections of exposition have almost planned the development route for the next 20 to 50 years.

This is why Howard was shocked!

Luke is not just an invention of a certain technology, but the way forward for the entire industry.

"Are you sitting in a time machine, coming back from the future?"

Howard took a deep breath and stared at Luke, who was sitting on the sofa, as if trying to find the real answer from him.

"Yes. The future world is destined to be ruled by artificial intelligence. In order to prevent it from its evil plan to enslave mankind, I led the Resistance Army to create a time machine and use it to return to World War II! This is my biggest secret. , Don’t tell other people, because there may be danger."

Luke was serious nonsense, and it was really interesting to see Howard's half-belief.

"Forget it, it doesn't make sense that there can only be one genius in this world. Well, Luke, you are welcome to join the genius club. I admit you are qualified."

After a while, Howard shook his head and sighed, seeming a little melancholy.

Now even the most proud genius brain has lost the capital to show off in front of Luke, which is really depressing.

"How do you want to cooperate?"

Howard calmed down, began to test Luke's bottom line.

He was originally not interested in the communications industry, nor did he think that Stark Industries could beat Bell Labs and seize AT&T’s market share.

But things are different now.

With this plan, let alone winning the market, Howard is even confident to build a communications empire.

"I take 60% and invest in technology, Stark Industries invests in capital, and I can take the remaining 30%, and the rest will be given away-the establishment of a mobile communication network must have government support ."

Luke didn't go around the circle, and said straightforwardly.

What he fancyed was the solid capital of Stark Industries and the deep foundation behind it.

If the communications industry wants to develop, it must have government support.

Although Luke has a place in the military, his political power is weak.

As long as Stark Industry is pulled into the chariot, it will not fall into difficulties in the later stages.

"It's very reasonable. Your plan, your design drawings and technology, Stark Industries is nothing but a bargain."

Howard nodded, agreeing to this superficial distribution plan.

More detailed regulations will definitely be discussed later.

"Then, happy cooperation."

Luke smiled and stretched out his hand, Howard held it tightly.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had seen the arrival of a new era.
