Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1347 Iron Suit? Power Armor!
The Mark 2 suit has also been miniaturized, and Tony plans to wear it to visit the White Skull base in Afghanistan.

At the same time, because he had encountered an immortal enemy before, although Tony didn't think there would be a second immortal person, he still made targeted arrangements.

Obadiah Harvey sat in his office which was simply decorated yet technologically advanced, his brows furrowed, his eyes glancing out of the window from time to time. There was the towering headquarters building of Ares Industries, like a silent declaration, announcing their dominance in the field of military technology.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, and each tap seemed to tell of his inner anxiety and uneasiness.

Tony Stark, the genius who could always create miracles at critical moments, seemed to have disappeared at this moment, and there was no news about the progress of the research and development of his new power armor.

Obadiah's anxiety reached a peak when Ares Industries began working with the U.S. military to deliver those expensive but revolutionary power armors.

Once these power armors are used on a large scale, they will completely change the form of war, and Stark Industries and even the entire military-industrial system will usher in unprecedented changes.

However, what Obadiah didn't know was that although these power armors were priced at $1 million, their true value far exceeded the price itself.

Its revolutionary design concept and actual combat performance made the military spend a lot of money to purchase it. Although the quantity is limited, it is enough to shock the global military community.

The emergence of power armor indicates that soldiers on future battlefields will have unprecedented combat effectiveness and survivability. It is not only a weapon, but also a strategic resource that can completely change the form of war.

For the U.S. military, although the initial investment is huge and it is difficult to quickly mass-produce, in the long run, this kind of equipment that can significantly improve the combat capabilities of soldiers will undoubtedly greatly enhance the country's military strength.

More importantly, this innovative weapon system marks the beginning of a new era in human warfare.

The U.S. military's purchasing habits have always been to select the most suitable equipment from major arms companies.

These companies, such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, etc., although ostensibly serving the country, are actually pursuing profit maximization.

Driven by huge economic interests, they will spare no effort to develop new technologies and new weapons, but will never easily sell their most advanced products to the military.

The reason is simple. Once the best products are adopted by the military, the old models that have not yet been completely eliminated in the company's hands will become worthless, which is undoubtedly a huge waste of resources.

Therefore, arms dealers usually adopt a strategy: after winning the bid, they will first provide a relatively mature but not optimal product to the military. Although the performance of this product is good, there are always some "reserved items".

As time goes by, when the value of these products has been gradually squeezed out by the military, arms dealers will launch upgraded versions in a timely manner. At this time, they have often already started to develop more advanced next-generation products.

This "delayed gratification" strategy ensures that arms dealers can continue to obtain orders from the military, while also maintaining their technological leadership.

It is based on such industry rules that when the US military finally received the power armor provided by Ares Industries, they found that they were not the shocking "humanoid tanks" in the initial demonstration, but a type of power armor named "super soldier", also known as "super soldier" armor.

Compared with the prototype, the "super soldier" has been simplified to a certain extent in firepower, defense and mobility to adapt to a wider battlefield environment and cost control needs.

Despite this, its performance still far exceeds any existing infantry equipment, providing soldiers with unprecedented survivability and combat efficiency.

Obadiah knew this, and so he was even more disturbed by Tony's silence.

Tony Stark is a man who can always break the rules and create miracles. Every innovation of his is enough to make the entire industry tremble. If Tony is really developing a power armor that surpasses the "super soldier", then once successful, it will not only completely subvert the existing market structure, but also make Stark Industries a leader in the field of military technology.

However, time was passing by, and there was no movement from Tony.

Obadiah began to wonder if he had overestimated Tony's abilities, or if Tony had really encountered some insurmountable technical difficulties?
But either way, it doesn't bode well for Stark Industries.

This means that if Stark Industries cannot come up with their own products as soon as possible, they will most likely fall behind in this technological race or even be completely eliminated.

Obadiah took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.

He understood that the most important thing now was to find Tony, understand his research and development progress, and formulate a response strategy as soon as possible.

He picked up the phone and dialed Tony's private number, but a cold, electronic female voice came from the other end of the line: "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable."

At this moment, Obadiah felt more lonely and helpless than ever before.

He realized that he was not only competing with Ares Industries, but also racing against time and competing with an unknown future.

And Tony, the genius whom he both relied on and feared, has now become the most uncertain factor in this competition.

Tony's innovative ability is unmatched, but at the same time, his style of doing things is often unpredictable.

He might stay up all night for an inspiration, or overturn an entire design plan because of a trivial detail.

"No, I have to go take a look!"

Obadiah couldn't sit still anymore and planned to find Tony to see his progress.

Creating a power armor from scratch, even his confidence in Tony couldn't help but waver.

If he could see a shell, Obadiah would probably feel at ease.

In fact, the outside world is now waiting for Stark Industries' response. The United States does not want to dominate the market alone, but rather wants a competitive model, just like their Donkey Party and Elephant Party.

They have become accustomed to this pattern. They want the unprecedented power armor of Ares Industries, but if Stark Industries can also launch its own power armor, they also want it!
It was only after Tony saw Obadiah coming that he remembered about Ares Industries and power armor.

When Obadiah saw the iron suit developed by Tony, he mistakenly thought it was a power armor.

"Okay, Tony!"

Obadiah looked at Tony in the iron suit with shining eyes.
