From the prototype, immortal

Ivan Vanko stood in his simple and nostalgic laboratory, his eyes fixed on the dragon ball that was emitting a faint glow.

His father, Anton Vanko, the genius who was once infinitely close to the pinnacle of science, fell because of a political storm and eventually disappeared in the cold wind of Siberia.

Ivan Vanko firmly believed that if he could use these seven dragon balls to revive his father, then all the sacrifices would be worth it.

But first, he needed to have a deep understanding of these dragon balls.

Countless thoughts flashed through Ivan Vanko's mind, and he realized that relying solely on naked eye observation and intuitive guesses was far from enough.

What he needed was high-precision and cutting-edge scientific and technological equipment, the kind of cutting-edge technology that could see through the structure of matter and analyze the flow of energy.

Such equipment was almost impossible to find in his country, the huge and heavy bear empire.

His eyes looked beyond the window of the laboratory and looked to the distant West, where America, a country where technology and natural laws run parallel, might hide the key to unlocking the secret of the dragon ball.

Ivan Vanko knew that the road to America would not be smooth.

As the son of a marginalized scientist, he did not have a legal passport and did not have enough money to buy a plane ticket.

But he had an indomitable heart and a deep love for his father.

He began to plan how to cross the border in the most covert and safest way to the unknown land.

In the preparation stage, Ivan Vanko used his limited resources in Siberia to collect as much information as possible about American technology companies.

He learned that those large multinational companies, such as Stark Industries, not only have the most advanced laboratories in the world, but also are involved in many marginal scientific research, which may be exactly what he needs to analyze the dragon ball.

However, how to approach these resources has become a huge problem in front of him.

On a cold winter night, Ivan Vanko put on a heavy cotton coat and embarked on a journey to the border.

He chose a hidden route, avoiding official checkpoints, relying on the survival skills taught by his father and his own wisdom to cross the vast snowfield.

Along the way, he encountered many difficulties, including several encounters with wild animals and having to find temporary shelter due to bad weather.

Finally, he came to a remote port town, which is the starting point for many illegal immigrants trying to cross the ocean.

Ivan Vanko knew that with this step, he would step into a more complicated and dangerous world.

He carefully contacted local snakeheads, who seemed to be ordinary fishermen or businessmen on the surface, but actually controlled secret passages leading to an unknown world.

Ivan Vanko used his only savings in exchange for a cabin, which was a crowded, dark space full of unknown fear, but for him, it was the only way to hope.

The process of smuggling was much more difficult than Ivan Vanko imagined.

They were on a dilapidated wooden boat, bumping forward in the rough sea.

Among the people traveling with him, there were refugees who were eager for a new life like him, and criminals with bad intentions.

Ivan Vanko was always alert and used the fighting skills he had learned to protect himself in several conflicts.

After several days of drifting, they finally approached the coastline of America.

Ivan Vanko's heartbeat accelerated.

However, the process of landing was not smooth, and they were intercepted by the coast patrol.

In the chaos, Ivan Vanko escaped the pursuit in the night with his wit and the initial prototype of the steel suit.

After arriving in America, Ivan Vanko hid his identity and started his new life.

During the day, Ivan worked silently in a small electronics factory, his hands shuttled between sophisticated electronic components, as if weaving dreams for the future.

Despite the simple working environment, he never complained, but used the resources here to constantly hone his skills, while secretly observing industry trends and looking for opportunities for breakthroughs.

At night, it was his ocean of knowledge, and the library became his second home.

There, he eagerly read the latest scientific journals and learned the most cutting-edge technical knowledge through the Internet, from artificial intelligence to quantum computing.

He had a firm belief in his heart: only by standing at the forefront of science and technology can he have the opportunity to realize his revenge plan and prove his worth.

At the same time, he looked for opportunities to enter large technology companies.

He realized that it was almost impossible to apply directly to a giant company like Stark Industries, so he began to plan a series of small inventions, hoping to attract attention through these small achievements.

Among the many potential partners, "Hammer Industries" gradually came into Ivan's sight.

No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one look!

Unlike Stark Industries, Justin Hammer, the boss of Hammer Industries, although he inherited a huge enterprise from his father, is known in the industry for his incompetence and ambition.

Justin always tried to improve his status through various means, even at the cost of competing with Stark Industries, although the results were often ridiculous.

In Ivan's view, this was exactly the weakness he could exploit. An opponent who is eager to prove himself but lacks real strength is the best partner for him to realize his plan.

Ivan Vanko took the relief food from America, ate fruits and bread that he didn't know if there were viruses in them, and locked on his desired target.

Originally, he was very optimistic about Ares Industries, but he saw in the newspaper that the boss of Ares Industries had a very good relationship with Tony Stark. Both of them were technological superheroes who fought against crime together.

From this aspect, Ivan Vanko could not go to Ares Industries. At this time, Hammer Industries attracted his attention.

The boss of Hammer Industries, Justin Hammer.

In order to get a deeper understanding of Justin Hammer, Ivan began to squat for half a month.

Like a detective, he carefully observed Justin's daily whereabouts, recorded his living habits, and even analyzed his personality and preferences through social media.

In the process, Ivan discovered that Justin had a significant weakness - vanity.

Justin was keen to show off his wealth and status, especially to compare with Stark Industries, which made him appear extremely impulsive and blind at times.

Ivan decided to show up in front of Justin in a shocking way at the right time so that he couldn't ignore his presence.

Then in a remote street with few surveillance cameras and passers-by.

Justin Hammer was sitting in his luxury car with a young model in his arms. She was one of the cover models Tony Stark had slept with. Justin Hammer thought that he must let this cover model compare who was better between him and Tony when he returned.
