Chapter 1656 Karma Taj Hijacking
"I know, I know." Tony Stark folded his arms, and the dirty, oily towel was rubbed indiscriminately and thrown aside.He calls this life Debug, a cohabitation life that includes getting up in the morning to make coffee and cleaning the front steps, leaving all work matters to the CEO he appointed. "I have given you the relevant rights, and you have the right to answer this call, Pepper." He clapped his hands, and the garage door closed automatically, covering up what he was making again, "I'm repairing the lawn mower Well, what could be more important than this?"

"Pentagon call," said Pepper Potts deadpan. "And I saw you put motor oil on your arm, Tony. If I had any common sense, I'd know that the lawnmower doesn't need So much oil. Unfortunately, I have common sense."

"Just making some small adjustments to the armor." Tony Stark smiled awkwardly. "You know, I have a lot of inspiration. This is just a small experiment, Pepper, and there is no danger."

"If the cohabitation life in the country makes you feel bored, you can go back to the institute." The tense expression on Pepper Potts' face stretched out, and then she frowned again, "I didn't tie you here , Tony. Your genius brain is just here to rest for a while. That doesn't mean I ask you to quit all R&D work. I don't ask you to make such sacrifices. All I ask of you is not to waste time Wasted on catching street punks - which you can do, but don't go to the Middle East or something again - it's been a long time since aliens invaded, you should relax your nerves too, no?"

Tony Stark waved his hand.

"We'll discuss this later, and let's see what new enemies the Defense Department has. You can listen here, Pepper. You are the CEO of Stark Industries, and you have the right to access this classified information."

"Do not."

Pepper Potts declined without hesitation.She took several steps back before Tony Stark pressed the answer button. Tony Stark never imagined that someone could walk backwards so fast in high heels, even stepping out of the soft grass. Several tiny holes.He wanted to explain to Pepper that his modified program watered the lawn in the morning instead of the usual evening, but seeing that the latter didn't care about the cleanliness of the heels of his high heels, he also gave up on the possibility of incurring Topic of complaints.Just let her think it rained last night.

"Get out of the Pentagon ASAP, Tony, or you'll never be free. Don't forget the Pentagon wants your armor, your reactors, and clean energy projects from us. We're not Lockheed Martin, Tony, We can't stand with the Pentagon forever." She paused, "And the Avengers. The Avengers are gone, aren't they?"

Looking at the figure of the woman leaving, Tony Stark still had a dry smile on his face.

Pepper Potts' dream is very beautiful, but he cannot leave the Pentagon, and the Stark family cannot leave the Pentagon, even if Stark Industries refuses to provide services related to weapons manufacturing.In fact, many technologies of Stark Industries still flow to the military manufacturing industry. Military companies such as Lockheed Martin and Raytheon have mutual shareholdings with Stark Industries. Many technology patent authorization documents from Stark Industries are still Transfer between different military enterprises.Stark Industries' latest large-scale R&D project is a radar technology. Anyone who has been in contact with this project can see that this is an airborne radar, and it is likely to be installed on an improved model of the F-35 .

The Stark Group has never withdrawn from the military manufacturing industry, but has changed to a more concealed way, becoming a military industrial enterprise focusing on technology research and development and earning profits from other military manufacturing complexes.It is impossible for the Stark family to break away from the entire military manufacturing system.Without the Pentagon's protection and exchange of benefits, Stark Industries, which withdrew from the arms deal, would not have a good end.Countless intelligence agencies and military enterprises in the world are coveting the Stark Industries database, and the FBI and the Homeland Security Agency can find commercial spies trying to obtain Stark Industries information every day.Whether it is information leakage or the kidnapping and murder of himself, it shows that the real core of the Stark Group is his own research and development capabilities rather than others, and it is also because of these departments that the work of the head of Stark's security department is so terrible. It's not necessary, Tony Stark will let his driver, Happy, take up such a position that only requires obedience and does not require ability.

Pepper Potts' CEO position had access to the information, but she declined.She also knows that there are employees from the national department who can process this information within Stark Industries, and all she needs to do is to be responsible to the shareholders (currently the largest shareholder is Tony Stark himself), nothing more.

"We need you to come to Houston, Stark." The video call went to the other side, and Colonel Rhodes' face filled the screen, "The rescue spacecraft Chivalrous is about to arrive at Neptune's ring and start salvage work on the New Domain spacecraft. Both the Pentagon and Houston would like to invite you to join us to see the situation of the New Domain spacecraft, do some on-site analysis, and provide off-site technical support."

"I said that if I don't give me the information about the hyperspace engine, I won't participate in any more work." Tony Stark frowned, "I don't understand why the Houston side hides this information So deep, I didn’t find relevant information on Friday. What’s more...Roddy (nickname), do you know how much signal distortion and delay there are from the earth to Neptune? Do you know what the current speed of Voyager 2 is? Even if I I went to Houston, and I couldn’t provide any effective help. The only ones who can help the Heroes are aliens. As far as I know, the aliens we know are not very friendly, and they will definitely not invite the Heroes Crew home for dinner."

Colonel Rhodes deliberately coughed loudly to cover Tony Stark's voice.

Hacking into the databases of NASA and the Pentagon is undoubtedly a felony. The last organization to do so was S.H.I.E.L.D. accused.The military-industrial complex is not an unbreakable alliance of interests. The many patented technologies in the hands of Stark Industries are very eye-catching. Congressmen with military-industrial complexes and Wall Street's outstretched fingers in their buttocks will definitely become targets against Stark Industries. pawn.Stark Industries is not without friends, but no one can guarantee that there are no other forces in the Pentagon. Every general that Colonel Rhodes knows is a beneficiary of the military-industrial complex interest chain, even he is no exception.

"I only found information about the Pegasus Project, but I'm sure this information is not complete, and there is no relevant information about the Pegasus Project in the information exposed by SHIELD." Tony Stark said without anyone else, self-serving .He accidentally stepped into the rotten grass created by the program, and couldn't help cursing a few words in a low voice. "I only know that the Pegasus project is related to the Rubik's Cube, but that doesn't explain how the New Domain spacecraft's hyperdrive was made."

Colonel Rhodes coughed again. "I assure you, we don't have the technology to make a hyperdrive."

"So the hyperspace engine technology came from aliens? We don't have a production line, we don't have related manufacturing equipment, so it can't be reproduced now?" Tony Stark raised his eyebrows.Colonel Rhodes expressed his agreement with silence.Tony Stark sees him keep looking out of frame, and seems to finally realize that there is an officer standing nearby. "I don't know who you are," he said bluntly, "but if they want me to go to Houston, the Pentagon has to give me more information."

"We'll share, Stark, the Pentagon isn't as stingy as you think."

The officer in military uniform squeezes into the frame.If Tony Stark's memory is better, he will find that this is the subordinate of General Ross before he ran for the Minister of Defense. It seems that after General Ross became the Minister of Defense, the former subordinates also followed the chickens and dogs.However, since General Ross was revealed to have conducted human experiments on himself, transformed out of control and disappeared completely during the Avengers Civil War, the faction that lost its political power began to suffer, otherwise it would not have come to Houston.

"If you want more information, come to Houston to watch the rescue operation of the Hero spacecraft. I promise you that Stark Industries will be commissioned to reverse engineer the hyperspace engine. We must surpass other countries in the field of spaceflight. , the hyperdrive will be the key to maintaining our position."

Tony Stark looked at Colonel Rhodes who lowered his head.

"I'll go," he sighed. "Remember your promise, General."

"Thank you for your cooperation, Stark." The general gave him a look in the video, "The country thanks you for your efforts."

"How should we make a plan?" Watching Tony Stark on the screen angrily hang up the call, Constantine, the commander of the guards, looked at the other guards. "Hijacking halfway, or going directly to Tony Stark's residence? There is reason to believe that Tony Stark will take a helicopter to Houston. The plane is also equipped with a portable armor. If the helicopter is forced to stop outside the surveillance of the system, the political impact of Tony Stark's escape may be beyond imagination. At present, we do not have the relevant data of that set of armor, so we cannot make targeted actions."
