Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1344 Strong Rival

Where did Tony go during the time he was missing?

Obadiah didn't know.

But now that Tony is back, nothing matters anymore, they have to deal with that rival!

Tony's return means that everything will return to the game field dominated by innovation and competition.

It was only at this time that Tony learned the information about their competitors.

"Ares Industries? This name is so clichéd, just like the villain in a third-rate story, always trying to conquer the world by force..."

Tony chattered incessantly as he sat in a spacious office with a detailed document about Ares Industries in front of him.

At first, he thought it was just a small emerging military-industrial enterprise trying to attract attention by launching some novel but non-threatening products.

However, when he turned to the page about the product introduction, his expression instantly became serious.

"Power armor?!"

Tony repeated the word in disbelief, his eyes darting back and forth between the picture and the caption as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

"This...how is this possible?!"

It was a set of unprecedented equipment. It was neither a new type of missile nor a new type of fighter plane, but a kind of "power armor" that could completely change the form of war - a "humanoid tank" power armor.

Power armor, this concept is not completely unfamiliar. It is similar to a powered exoskeleton, but is far more complex and powerful than the latter.

It not only requires the ability to significantly enhance the wearer's physical strength, speed and endurance, but also must have excellent protection, be able to operate in extreme environments, and even integrate multiple military functions such as fire support, communications, reconnaissance and detection.

However, due to technical bottlenecks and the development of materials science, no breakthrough progress has been made.

And now, Ares Industries has successfully turned this idea into reality and launched it into the market.

Obadiah nodded.

"Yes, power armor. It is similar to a power exoskeleton, but its functions are far beyond our imagination. It can not only enhance the basic capabilities of the human body, but also has good protection, adaptability to complex environments, and auxiliary firepower, communication, reconnaissance support and other military functions. It can be said that this is a perfect war machine."

The "humanoid tank" power armor displayed on the screen has an appearance design that is full of futuristic and technological sense.

It is covered with a lightweight alloy that glows a slightly golden green rainbow color under the light. This alloy can not only effectively protect against attacks from light weapons or bomb fragments, but also reduce the overall weight of the armor and improve the mobility of soldiers.

The head of the power armor is designed with a helmet with a power pack. This helmet is much lighter than any standard Marine helmet, but it can provide enough power to support the various functions of the armor.

The helmet is also equipped with advanced communication equipment and reconnaissance systems, allowing soldiers to obtain real-time information about the enemy on the battlefield and make the most accurate judgments.

The main part of the power armor uses a motion-synchronized drive system, which can perfectly synchronize the armor with the soldier's movements, allowing it to easily cope with running, jumping or climbing.

More importantly, this system can also amplify the strength of soldiers, allowing them to exert combat power beyond ordinary people on the battlefield.

Tony's eyes shuttled back and forth between the pictures and the parameters, and he was shocked like never before. He was responsible for not only the rise and fall of the company, but also the future direction of the entire industry.

Stark Industries has been leading the development of military technology for decades, and their name has almost become synonymous with innovation.

However, at this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, as if an undercurrent was quietly surging, which could wash away his carefully built empire without a trace at any time.

He stared at the power armor on the screen. It was the latest product developed by Ares Industries. Although it had no flying ability, its sturdy armor and powerful firepower system made it a veritable "humanoid tank."

Once such equipment is used on a large scale, it will completely change the balance of power on the battlefield, posing unprecedented challenges to traditional ground forces and armored units.

Tony couldn't help but think that if a battle really broke out, these power armors, with their excellent mobility and the anti-tank weapons they carried, would probably be difficult to resist even by the strongest tanks.

Tony couldn't help but frowned at the thought.

He had already made up his mind to gradually reduce Stark Industries' investment in weapons research and development, and even considered closing the weapons department and instead devote himself to the research and development of more peaceful technologies that would benefit mankind.

However, the rise of Ares Industries forced him to re-examine this decision.

Fortunately, his iron armor is more advanced than theirs after all.

This type of power armor has no flying ability and is at best a "humanoid tank". Of course, if a real fight breaks out, tanks will not be their opponents because they are too mobile and can also carry anti-tank weapons.

It is with this set of power armor that Ares Industries has successfully become a new member of the American military-industrial complex and their most powerful competitor.

"Tony, we have to act quickly. We can't let them get the upper hand."

There was a hint of pleading in Obadiah's words, hoping that Tony would take this issue seriously and come up with a solution as soon as possible.

If Ares Industries is allowed to continue to develop, Stark Industries' dominant position in the military industry will be in jeopardy.

As the deputy of Stark Industries, this is absolutely unacceptable to him.

He has always regarded Stark Industries as his hard work and pride, so how could he tolerate it being destroyed like this?
"Let's not talk about this for now."

Tony Stark's voice was filled with a hint of impatience. He threw the document in his hand onto the desk with force. The papers of the document were scattered all over the floor, just like his irritable mood at the moment.

He stood up, looked through the spacious and luxurious office, and looked at the bustling city outside the window, his heart full of worries.

He decided to take a break from his work and go see Ethan Payne, the doctor who had saved his life in Afghanistan, now lying in a state-of-the-art ward in the company's medical facility.

Tony's steps were firm and rapid as he moved through the corridors, and every step seemed to speak of his concern for his friend.

In this world full of conspiracies and dangers, it is so rare for him to have a friend he can trust.

Ethan not only saved his life, but also lit a light deep in his heart, making him realize that the power of technology should be used for justice and peace.
