How did I become a villain
Page 75
During the period of working in the bureau, couldn't she see the attitude of colleagues around her towards her, or towards a woman?If she wasn't Steve's fiancée, these men would most likely regard her as a waiter serving tea and water and ordering takeaway.
Friendliness is also divided into age groups. When she is her age, will they still be friendly?
"I understand. The unique machismo of this era. Thinking that the world should revolve around them, after all, they just won the war." Griffin expressed understanding. "But he also has reason to be anxious. The Strategic Science Corps was created because of the war, but now that the war is over, they need new achievements to prove their worth."
I thought the current progress was considered slow, I should have known that I should hide my clumsiness...
Carter couldn't help laughing maliciously when he heard this.
"Agents don't know how to develop technology. Maybe that's why they have nothing to do all day long, and their tempers are getting worse every day."
After the war ended, the huge government agencies operating during the war were all laying off staff, and the Strategic Science Corps was no exception. A group of peripheral garrison troops had been decommissioned before.But their luck is that many of the people who work in the legion are agents, and these are technical arms.Even if you don't use it yourself, you can't let them flow into other countries to benefit others.
And what if... someday they really come in handy?
"Sister Carter, when do you plan to marry the captain?" Griffin blinked. "Do you need a little sister with a skirt? Or, we can arrange a unique wedding venue."
"Thank you." Carter's cheeks turned a shy blush.He and Steve have already set a date for marriage, but now the government needs him to establish a heroic image. Not long after returning to China, he toured with the team all over the country, and he couldn't think about getting married in a short time. "You have a lot of things to do, so I won't bother you. And... it's not so fast. It's too late to prepare a few months before the wedding."
"Well, even so, I will prepare a gift for you." The girl glanced at her mouth.
Carter asked with a smile, "What kind of gift would that be?"
In this regard, Griffin only spit out two words.
"Secret."
On October 1945, 10, a total of 24 countries, led by the five major powers, chose to join the nascent United Nations.And in the future, it will become a huge organization covering almost all countries in the world.
As early as June, representatives of 6 countries headed by China successively signed their names on the UN Charter.In the additional clauses of the charter, the definition, ownership and use of the Rubik's Cube are clarified.It can be said that from the day the agreement was signed, the original space stone should be stored in the headquarters of the United Nations in Manhattan, New York, USA.However, since the building is still under construction, it is still temporarily taken over by the Strategic Science Corps during this period.
In other words, the current Rubik's Cube is still the "private property" of the United States.
As the most powerful country in the world today, after eating a large amount of dividends from the Old Continent during the war, the United States, which has a good taste, would certainly not hand over this treasure so easily. In fact, if it were not because of Griffin's interference, They have long tried their best to squeeze the technology out of it.But even so, Griffin's daily work tasks are still very heavy.
But it looks like she is very busy to outsiders. In fact, this girl lives very rhythmically every day.Howard protected her very well and withstood a lot of pressure for her, and Griffin reciprocated, not only cooperating with regular medical examinations, but also collaborating on product development in some places that can help—except for military technology.
This is also what makes the U.S. government worry about it the most.
The reason why they withheld the Rubik's Cube and delayed the handover date, isn't it because of its military use?Don't forget how Dr. Hella, the Red Skull's confidant, transformed the energy of this artifact into a killing weapon that annihilated the human form.If this advantage is transferred to the United States, coupled with its own powerful army, will the command of the world be far behind?
Some of them may not be war mad, but the strength of the country's military power can also affect foreign trade and allow them to obtain huge economic benefits.Some of the remaining people also support or acquiesce in using the Rubik's Cube for military purposes.
Volume 107: [-] nanorings are put into mass production as the first product with unlimited energy supply
Now the United States is so close to this step, but a guardian of the Rubik's Cube is stuck in the middle. Such wild ambitions cannot be fully realized, which makes Congress and the big bosses behind it very uncomfortable.
But when they were about to impeach the Strategic Science Corps for not doing their job properly, the group of congressmen who were eager to make trouble were attracted by two products that Howard presented that obviously had the energy properties of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
After months of trying, Howard was invited to appear at a hearing in the face of a surprise subpoena from the president.At the meeting, Howard declared on behalf of all the scientists participating in the research that they had successfully extracted useful energy from the Rubik's Cube, and based on a series of unnamed but always giving people a super-powerful machine and seemingly simple In fact, the production process that is difficult to see the mystery has produced products that can change the living habits of human beings in the future.
Space to store rings and quantify infinite energy.
The emergence of these two new inventions made the participants who were full of fantasies about the world of martial arts realize that the Rubik's Cube can still be used for civilian purposes?And compared to time-consuming and laborious military methods, the method of making money without bloodshed is simply too appetizing to them.
And the scheduled price is also very close to the people, equivalent to the price of cabbage.
However, this also caused dissatisfaction among some people, thinking that the price given by Howard was too cheap.As the upper class who rule the entire United States, how can they enjoy the same product as the people below?
In this regard, Howard's explanation is that the "immaturity" of the current technology makes these technologies still have a testing nature, and the price that is close to the people is naturally not the final price, let alone let the people buy first and enjoy first, while capitalists can only watch.It is to use them as product testers in order to collect user data for updates.Today's products have not yet formed an absolute advantage, but there are great prospects for development in the future.
When the technology matures and users become dependent, that is when the real harvest begins.At that time, the products will be high-quality and divided into three, six, and nine grades-although the last sentence is not explicitly stated, but everyone understands it.
Of course, in order not to attract the attention of the Hydra hidden in the shadows, the name of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube as the extraction source was deliberately changed.The world knows that there are not many people who have such extraterritorial artifacts. It is understandable that Howard, who is known as an all-round genius, has developed these two technologies.
...although it may not be useful to do so.
All in all, the news from this meeting allowed many people who were dissatisfied with Howard's monopoly of the Rubik's Cube to resolve their conflicts of interest, and even temporarily tied them together.
Howard provides technology, they provide contacts and markets, and make money together, why not do it?
As for how much share each chaebol takes in it, it has to be detailed.Judging from the information Howard has revealed now, there will be more Rubik's Cube-level products launched in the future. They can completely control an industry by themselves, monopolize in the field they are good at, and form an offensive and defensive alliance among the entire class.
In this meeting, Howard himself is very satisfied, the president is also very satisfied, the plutocrats behind the congressmen are also very satisfied, and even the people who are not eligible to participate in the meeting will be very satisfied.In the harmonious atmosphere that gradually heated up in the venue, everyone got what they wanted, and everyone was as close as a family, enjoying themselves in harmony.
Therefore, Congress, which was supposed to launch a joint impeachment against Howard, suddenly changed its caliber the next day and began to support Howard, detailing the contributions made by the Stark family to the United States.
"...That's the way it is. Your uncle and I have regained your custody." Back at the Strategic Science Corps, Howard told Griffin about his experiences in the past few days, emphasizing that he He played an absolute leading role in the whole process, and described himself as a great image of being wise and invincible.
But the inflated lie was exposed by the girl.
"So you escaped unharmed, congratulations."
"Uh...you can put it that way." For some reason, Howard suddenly lost the desire to continue acting.Thanks to the girl Griffin's needle-like words, there was no trace of his inflated arrogance left.
Then Griffin smiled blankly. "Of course, I escaped, thank you."
These words reinvigorated the discouraged Howard. "Haha, don't be so polite, believe it or not, I treat you like a niece."
Carter looked at Howard, then at Griffin, looking like he couldn't help but hesitate to speak.
No one noticed her little gesture.After solving an existential crisis, Griffin adjusted his mentality and said, "However, you promised to give each family a new product line to the chaebols behind the officials. I don't deny that this is an effective means to win them over. It’s not easy to achieve that and please everyone.”
"I did say that, but I also made it clear to them that this is a long-term work, and it cannot be done in a short period of time. I also believe that this word has accurately reached the ears of all present. If there are people in the future Because if you ask me about this matter, then I completely believe that it is a question of the messenger. As for whether they will collude with each other in the future... If they want to use their lower body to achieve their goals, it will have to wait at least 100 years. As of now As far as I am concerned, the two products you developed are enough to cope with the current situation." Howard is full of confidence.After all, he is also a top scientist in the United States, there is no reason why Griffin can't do it. "Don't worry, just let me handle it. The initiative is on our side."
For the chaebols, Howard wasn't trying to fool them. He had a complete plan, but there was no need to tell Griffin.
"Let's still follow the previous plan, you provide the technology, and I will realize it."
Although Griffin was the first to extract the two technologies of the space ring and fuel additive from the Rubik's Cube, as long as she is willing to share the full set of technologies, Howard can still spy out some clues and imitate them.In this way, Griffin saves manufacturing time, and Howard increases scientific research experience, which benefits both sides.
"Don't try to carry everything by yourself, you're too busy," he said. "If you really want the infinite technology of the Rubik's Cube to spread around the world and benefit the world, you should form allies. It is not convenient for you to do this, but I can do it for you."
Griffin nodded.
"can."
Leaving the monitoring area, Carter caught up with Howard who was walking ahead. "Are you really going to block all the harassment from the outside world for her?"
Volume 108.1: [-] Congress Comes
Howard asked back: "Why, don't I look like this kind of person?"
Why can't I take the initiative to take on heavy responsibilities?
"I'm just wondering, you who have always been irresponsible will suddenly say such a responsible thing." Carter said truthfully. "Just say it straight, do you have other ideas?"
"If I really have ulterior motives, will I say it in front of your face?" Howard said, with a painful expression on his face. "I thought you and Steve were the people who knew me best, but you let me down."
I'm just too vigilant by your daily unreliable behavior.After all, you don't usually do anything serious.
As a businessman who can't afford no profit, what would you do if there is no benefit?
Carter didn't answer, but subconsciously stared at him suspiciously.
Even though Howard had already hinted at his ambition to unite with the chaebol in previous conversations, Carter still subconsciously believed that he should still be hiding some real secret.But I couldn't figure out what it was.
"Don't worry, I never lie to women." Howard sighed secretly and said seriously. "I said I would block it in front, so until I can't block it, I will stand in front. The Stark family will do what they say."
This is an excellent opportunity to integrate the American chaebol. It is an opportunity for the Stark family and company to stand at the top of the world. How could it be missed?
Griffin once hinted that he could take the route of politics and become the president to control the United States, but Howard hopes to integrate the lifeline of the country through the business he is good at.No matter which way you go, in the end, it is to control the most powerful country in the world, realize the space colonization plan, and spread the fire of mankind all over the universe.
To accomplish this ultimate task, the primary targets are of course the chaebol families scattered in various states in the country.Use commercial and political means to tie them together, and then integrate the global economy with the United States as the center.
Both Griffin and Howard have the idea of "hoping for the prosperity of mankind", but they are quite different in details.
Not long after the New Year's Day bell rang over New York in 1946, a group of big shots ushered in the headquarters building of the Strategic Science Corps.
As a department that has developed two new era technologies based on the Rubik's Cube, the purpose of these government and military GAO officials coming here is not only for inspection, but also for a purpose that anyone with a discerning eye can see.
Howard, as the chief scientist of the technical department of the Strategic Science Corps, warmly received them and invited them to visit the rebuilt laboratory.
Since Griffin destroyed the entire laboratory with a nebula chain explosion last time, the New York government, which felt the power of the Rubik's Cube, quickly allocated funds to rebuild a new laboratory on the ruins. Compared with the previous building materials Stronger, claiming to withstand high explosive blasts and direct rocket fire.
Today, there are no traces of the original explosion in the laboratory, only tables full of experimental equipment and small rooms opened individually.
"The space ring and infinite energy are only a small part extracted from the vast energy of the Rubik's Cube, but the part stripped from the body alone is enough to benefit human beings. My team and I are trying to develop more new projects, In the next 20 to 50 years, unlimited energy will replace the existing energy from the original fuel additive. Once the space expansion can realize the living body, the human living space will no longer have geographical restrictions. Everyone or his family can Have your own vast space." When it comes to the Rubik's Cube, Dr. Dubin, the second-in-command of the Science Research and Development Department, can't stop talking.
But although these words sound good, they are not what the visitors really want to pay attention to. No matter how utopian the beautiful scenes described in the future are, they are also an invisible and intangible future. As people who live in the present, they pay more attention to the present.
"The purpose of our coming here must be clear to you, doctor. Our interest in these by-products extracted from the Rubik's Cube is far less than the main body of the Rubik's Cube." The young congressman who had chatted with Howard in the laboratory before was also present at this time. He and Howard are on the other side. "The president hopes that you can make greater achievements, and there are more places that need to use the Rubik's Cube, instead of staying on 'small troubles'."
"Small trouble? I don't agree with that." Howard said, shaking his head. "What we are doing now seems to have nothing to do with the president's 'big' plan, but these are all previews of what he wants to achieve. If the foundation is not strong, how can the house stand?"
Howard continued: "Besides, he has a lot of affairs every day, does he really understand the situation here? The Cosmic Rubik's Cube is not something on this planet, and studying it is much more difficult than studying mummies. But fortunately, we have an intermediary who can translate it for us Otherwise, we would not be able to open the Rubik’s Cube until now. However, it only took us half a year to complete the R&D projects of space rings and fuel additives and put them into mass production. I also obtained new energy and new engines. There must be a breakthrough. With such a speed, he still thinks it is too slow?"
"I didn't say this, I just repeated it." The young MP explained. "You know the purpose of our coming here. Infinite energy is a good thing, especially when used in conjunction with the atomic bomb... I heard that when the 'Guardian' was working for the Nazi government in Germany, it was not a peaceful thing." Didn't she participate in the research and development of ship-borne rockets?"
"Who do you listen to? She is not naive, and she doesn't have that great ability. Everything she does is a mistake made under the control of others. It is because she knows right and wrong that she avoids making mistakes again and again. That's too much for a kid who's always had a conscience," Howard categorically denied. "Tell me, John, has the science and technology of the United States degenerated to the point where a child is required to participate in the development of rocket technology? None of those German scientists brought back from the Old World are worth using?"
The other party nodded, then shook his head and said: "But the fuel for the rocket is only available here. Don't tell me that the rockets on the Mariana are just decorations. The Germans have already developed a ship-borne rocket, and only one can be used. Destroy a destroyer, such a sharp weapon, not only the United States, but Britain and France also want it."
"When she proposed to promote infinite energy, I really shouldn't agree to her." Howard shook his head in distress, but there was a sly look in his eyes.
This was seen by the young MPs around him.
Volume 108.2: [-] Two Playboys Make Some Deals
Howard continued: "It's unnecessary to find her. She refuses to use the Rubik's Cube for military research and development. Do you have the heart to let a child's pure soul be polluted by the world? You won't get what you want from her." .”
Steve later talked about the Red Skull with Howard, who was transformed into a visible quantum and disappeared when he directly touched the Rubik's Cube.
If the Rubik's Cube is conscious, it can be distinguished who only wants to use it and who is protecting it.
The congressman looked up and down at the scientist who was hesitant to speak, thinking carefully and analyzing his words. "So... I can only find you, right?"
"Yes, otherwise why do you think she trusts me so much?" Howard spread his hands.Griffin is unwilling to militaryize the Rubik's Cube, so he has no such scruples.As a patriot, what is wrong with dedicating yourself to your country?
"Hahaha, I almost forgot, your charm is number one in America."
Howard showed a friendly smile at the right time, and prayed in his heart that the content of the conversation just now would not reach Griffin's ears.
"I will bring the good news back to the president," the congressman said. "But verbal promises are not enough. At least let me see one or two things that are being developed... Don't worry, I won't take them away. Just let me take a look."
Howard does develop a few gadgets in private, including a powerful suction garbage disposal.But after all, it was an act outside the scope of his authority. Before he was recognized by the government, he would not admit that he did it secretly.
Well, these are all I worked out a little bit during the break time, and I always answer like this when anyone asks me.
Glancing at a group of senior officials who were watching the products introduced by Dr. Dubin, Howard casually said: "There will be a party the night after tomorrow, and I plan to schedule the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new company next week..."
If you say this, I won't be sleepy anymore.
The other party showed a comfortable smile. "Don't worry, I won't be late for either."
At this time, Dr. Dupin came over with sweat dripping from his brow. "Howard, please come here."
"He's from the Republican Party." Pointing to a person behind the doctor, John hinted in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I understand..." Howard walked up with easy steps.
The two sides got together and complimented each other a few words. First, they affirmed the convenience and innovative thinking brought by these small inventions, and then the government official changed the subject and said: "...But the main purpose of our coming here is not to observe For these small things, it is hard to say that the use of the Rubik's Cube is not a waste, whether it is time, funds, or research and development directions, we have underestimated it too much."
"So?" Howard asked back pretending to be puzzled, thinking that as long as there is a partisan struggle, things like throwing dirty water at each other and singing against each other often happen.Seeing that the Rubik's Cube is in the hands of the arch-rival Democrats, you have to come up with something different to make yourself stand out.
Needless to say, the real intention of the other party must be to let the Rubik's Cube get rid of the petty fights of the common people, and run towards the lofty goal of uniting the upper elite and being more "higher".
"So? It should serve a greater purpose."
This guy is no fun!Howard looked through your sage expressions.
"Aren't we doing these things now?" He shook his head and said. "I can't think of a greater use than for the benefit of all mankind."
For all mankind?This kind of empty slogan understands that everyone knows it is just talking.
"But we have to unite people who can be united first. Only when the top reaches an agreement can the policy be implemented?" The official knew that he couldn't explain clearly to the man who was pretending to be stupid, so he said directly: "Why don't we meet the owner of the Rubik's Cube? Someone, maybe she can understand?"
Howard looked back calmly, and by the way threw the disdain in his heart to the back, and then turned back with a smile on his face.
"Of course, I can arrange a meeting right away, but please allow me to accompany you. After all, I am her guardian."
Griffin is indeed precocious than the average child in thinking, but she will certainly not agree with the other party's point of view.Because it was she herself who proposed "small fights".
But Howard did not remind the other party.He is looking forward to the next meeting scene.
In one of the SSC's drawing rooms, Republican representatives met Griffin in person.
After more than half a year, this girl who was thin at the beginning has gradually lost her appearance of malnutrition under the combination of sufficient nutrition. She is growing very fast while she is in the developmental period.Although it is not as exaggerated as one day a day, it is almost the same.Even with 24-hour strict surveillance, Griffin was not locked in the research institute all day long without seeing the light of day. She had a high degree of freedom, so her skin did not appear morbidly pale. Fairly ruddy.
If you have to use the existing image and known child stars as a reference, then Griffin looks similar to McKenna.The difference is that she has straight eyebrows and sharp eyes.
Balanced nutrition is an excellent foundation, and finally a little bit of acquired pride is added, and a handsome and cold goddess (juvenile body) appears in front of you.
