Chapter 221 Ross's Request for Help

"That's it, keep observing, and if there's a chance, just buy Stark Group's stocks.

"For us, no matter who wins or loses, we'll make money."

After hearing what Baymax said, Killian waved his hand and spoke casually.

Although he now looks down on the Stark Group, a small shrimp with a valuation of only a hundred billion, if there's a chance to acquire it, then even a small amount is worth a lot.

And what if it can bring him some surprises?!

After all, as a person who has watched Marvel, Killian, who knows Tony Stark's potential, naturally has certain expectations for the Stark Group.

"By the way, what's the current progress of the excavation of the ruins on Titan? ! "

After finishing this topic, Killian returned to the video and spoke to Dabai while watching the video.

After all, they have explored the entire Titan, that is, Thanos' Titan, for nearly a year, and he is also preparing to ask again before the Earth Federation's interstellar fleet actually arrives in the next two days, so that he can have a general idea in his heart.

"Sir, according to the current progress, great progress has been made. First, we have completely mastered the text of the civilization and discovered the civilization log of the planet. In the log, we learned the following additional information. It is reported that the planet is called Titan. "

"It used to be an interstellar civilization with very advanced technology. However, due to the overdevelopment of technology, the over-exploitation of the planet eventually led to the collapse of the ecology, and then a civil war began. A chosen son named Thanos led those who chose to follow him. After slaughtering most of the tribesmen and almost destroying the entire civilization, he took the remaining tribesmen and drove the interstellar battleship towards the deep space of the universe. "

"Second, the advance team has discovered some new buildings, several abandoned but still functional energy machines, and some kind of signal station-like place. "

"Because it is located in a remote location, it is generally well preserved. "

"Third, a large factory similar to the ancient armor was discovered. According to the current findings, the factory seems to be a wearable item similar to the bulletproof vest of the army for the entire civilization. It is hard to imagine how such an advanced civilization can have such a manufacturing factory. It is just like aliens driving interstellar spaceships to colonize other planets, and then getting off the spaceships to fight with cold weapons. "

After hearing Killian's words, Baymax on the side also played the video of the scene and then spoke.

After seeing this, Killian also showed a look of understanding.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being Thanos' hometown. It was once the dominant civilization in the solar system. It was a pity that the development of technology was too fast, which led to excessive demands on the interior of the planet, and then the entire planet was on the verge of collapse.

And it was from that time that Thanos realized the horror of a civilization's endless demands on the entire universe, and realized that if these lives continued to develop and explore, then the entire universe would sooner or later usher in a day of destruction.

So he took his own The tribesmen fought in the deepest part of the universe. Wherever they saw, as long as the population there exceeded the current planet's capacity, he would destroy half of the life.

And this is why Thanos destroyed his hometown and did not find a new home for his tribe.

Because from that moment on, he gave his tribe a new mission, that is, ecological protector.

In his eyes, the life of the universe is like locusts. They are huge in number and can quickly devour the resources that the universe has finally nurtured, causing the planets to be completely destroyed and turned into a wasteland.

And he, like an ecological manager, promptly controlled these locusts within a certain range and prevented them from spreading. It has become a disaster.

And this is what every country on the earth is doing now.

It can only be said that from a macro perspective, there is no problem with Thanos's behavior.

And it can be seen from the back that basically many planets have also nurtured the lives of the gods. In them, as long as the number of lives on the planet reaches a certain level, they can be born, but what replaces them is the destruction of the planet.

It can be said that what Thanos did, if you really want to explain it, can be completely explained, and it is also very reasonable.

But if you look at it from the perspective of human nature, there is a complete problem. After all, everyone can be like Thanos, so righteous that even he can enter this 50% forced The list of people who choose to die.

As for the suggestion that the universe is so big that we can migrate to other planets with life, that is a joke. The universe is indeed big and there are indeed many planets, but there are very few planets with life. It can be said that it is difficult to give birth to one planet among billions.

The preciousness of its life planets is even more precious than migrating a certain ethnic group there.

Thinking of this, Killian couldn't help but shake his head.

Perhaps Thanos not only has reasons to eliminate half of the life in the universe, but also wants to prevent the birth of the gods.

But these are not what he needs to consider at present.

The most urgent task now is to develop himself.

"Talent!!"

But as long as he thought of this, Killian couldn't help but sigh.

Now it can be said that his subordinates have spread their wings too wide. If there were not enough high-end talents under his command, he really wanted to send a person in charge to the Titan base.

Instead of just letting Dr. Otto hang out in name and hold remote meetings to conduct research as it is now.

Even the doctors under his command are basically responsible for several scientific research projects at the same time. It can be said that he treats people like animals. This is fully demonstrated here.

If it weren't for the salary and benefits, which were all raised, and their bodies were strengthened, I am afraid that even if they were willing to continue working, their bodies would have collapsed long ago.

But Killian didn't want this, but one reason was that time waits for no one, and the other was that there was really no one to show.

"Sir, according to the current situation, I suggest that you try to recruit Dr. Bruce Banner, with an estimated success rate of 63%, Dr. Connors, 73%, Dr. Shavigo, 88%, Dr. Jane Foster, 93%,..."

After hearing Killian's words, at this moment, Baymax also tracked down several talents from the global talent archives and the Internet in an instant, and after cross-comparing the data, he immediately projected the relevant data and spoke.

"Bruce Banner?!"

"I forgot about this person."

After hearing Baymax's words, Killian's eyes lit up subconsciously at this moment, and then he spoke.

Bruce Banner, not to mention that he has the talent gene that can transform into the Hulk, it is reported that his father has been engaged in the super soldier project since he was a child, so he first gave it to his son for experiment.

However, there has been no obvious change. The green cell is just a latent gene in Bruce Banner's genes. When it is exposed to gamma rays, it is fully activated and becomes the Hulk with endless power.

Although the Hulk's ability has been reduced to the limit in the current MCU universe, it is still undeniably powerful.

Of course, these are just extras. The most important thing is Bruce Banner's genius mind. A super genius with 7 doctoral degrees can be said to be a giant in the field of physics.

If we compare Bruce Banner and Tony Stark, let Killian comment. The former is a scientist, while the latter Tony Stark is more suitable to be called an inventor.

Every scientist is the best in his own field and is the top boss in his own industry. In the original plot, in order to search for Loki's whereabouts, Nick Fury invited Bruce Banner and Tony Stark to board the spaceship together.

The purpose here is to search for Loki through gamma rays, and Dr. Bruce Banner is an expert in this area. Although Tony Stark also knows it through last-minute learning, he is obviously not as professional as Bruce Banner.

But when he goes to other people's fields, he is still a student, while the inventor can learn and understand any field, and his ideas are wild and unrestrained. He learns and creates as long as he thinks of it.

So compared to the latter's wild and unrestrained ideas, Killian hopes for top scientists like the former, because such people are truly qualified subordinates and leaders of a team.

If Bruce Banner joins, Killian has reason to believe that his contribution to the group will definitely not be less than Samuel.

‘Ding Ding Ding! ’

Just when Killian was still thinking about how to recruit Bruce Banner, the phone on the side suddenly rang.

“Sir, General Ross is calling.”

“Answer it!”

After hearing Dabai’s reminder, Killian frowned and then spoke.

"Killian?! This is Ross."

"I need your help."

As soon as the call was connected, Ross said a few words and then got straight to the point.

"What's wrong?!"

At this moment, listening to the anxious words on the other end of the phone, Killian also asked.

In fact, a thought had already flashed through Killian's mind at this time, but it shouldn't be so fast, right? !

"There was an error in the research of a super soldier project here, which caused the experimental subject to run away. You know, after this turmoil, our entire military now has few troops. Now such a thing has happened and we can't control it at all, so I need you to help us get it back."

"As for the issue of compensation... How about 500 million US dollars?!"

At this time, without too much explanation, he spoke anxiously, but at the end, Ross fell silent. After all, it can be said that it is difficult for them to afford Pioneer Technology, and the so-called 500 million US dollars is even a joke to him.

But there was no other way. The budget that the military could give him was just this much. There was no more.

But if he didn't ask for it, all their efforts would be in vain.

And looking at the person who was lying beside him and looking at him pleadingly, Ross also strengthened his will.

"Forget about 500 million. I don't care about that little money. But I am very interested in your research project. How about this? We, Avant-garde Technology, will take over the super soldier project in the future?!"

"In return, you can get a considerable licensing fee and share the research results."

After hearing Ross's words, Killian also confirmed his guess. The escaped experimental subject must be Bruce Banner, and the time is about the same as this world segment. Compared with the appearance of Ultron, the Hulk is much more normal. Then Killian spoke.

To be honest, in the military's super soldier project, only the so-called super soldier serum is worth some money, and it is the subsequent research and development version, which can be regarded as the kind that has been deleted and cannot be deleted anymore.

Killian mainly values ​​Bruce Banner's research log and the authorization to officially contact Bruce Banner.

As long as he has Bruce Banner, he can also create countless abominations or Hulks.

You should know that the loss of control after the Hulk's transformation can be said to be different for different people. At least his cousin can control his emotions after the transformation very well, or it is no longer control, but after the transformation, he is a Hulk with a normal personality.

As long as he gets Bruce Banner's blood, plus his cousin's DNA biological sample, then the Hulk Army? !

Thinking of this, Killian's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"No... How much licensing fee?!"

After hearing Killian's words, Ross wanted to refuse directly, but when he saw the admiral who heard this sentence and signaled him with crazy eyes, Ross also endured it and spoke immediately.

There is no way. It's not that their military has no bottom line, but it's really short of money now.

Because of the Ultron incident before, the pensions of those who died in the army have not yet been paid. If this continues, the entire army will have to mutiny.

Even if there is no mutiny in the end, their entire military will be completely paralyzed here.

After all, this is the United States. Unlike other countries, they will not talk to you about dedication, family and country at a critical moment. If you don't have money, you won't work here.

Even if you are the president, you can't squeeze them without salary.

"Five billion dollars."

After hearing Ross agreed, Killian, who originally just wanted to bargain, was also subconsciously stunned. He really didn't expect that the US military, which has always been tough and almost never let outsiders get involved in internal projects, would agree to such a thing one day. What's the difference between this and the cession of land and compensation in that dynasty? !

However, it must be said that Killian casually said a number.

After hearing the figure of 5 billion US dollars, the admiral on the side also widened his eyes, and then made a five gesture, as if he wanted to confirm it.

After all, for the military now, 5 billion US dollars is not a huge sum of money.

After all, when an American soldier dies, the government will need to advance a pension of 100,000 to 120,000 US dollars to the other party's family, and then there will be 400,000 to 500,000 US dollars in death insurance, plus welfare. It can be said that generally speaking, the total pension that a dead American soldier can receive can reach up to one million US dollars.

Of course, the most important thing now is the first sum of money. Now on the entire battlefield, there are about 100,000 people killed in total, which means that 12 billion yuan needs to be advanced in the early stage.

If there are really 5 billion US dollars now, apart from anything else, the pensions of those soldiers who died will be settled.

After all, although so many people died, they can always get it by trading space for time.

To be honest, this is already a very good result for the US military, which can't squeeze out a penny now.

But at this time, in Ross's eyes, it seems to have realized another meaning.

"Fifty billion US dollars!"

At this moment, after seeing that his boss's mouth seemed to be about to increase the price, Ross also showed a look of understanding, and then directly bargained.

After all, this is a project he is personally responsible for. Not to mention that a lot of manpower and material resources have been invested in it, just the combat power shown by the experimental subject when he escaped, several tyrants could not stop him.

Although these are not the latest tyrant products of Pioneer Technology, they have all been on the real battlefield, and each one is a worthy opponent.

Even if they failed to control the other party, it is enough to prove their ability in this experiment, so 50 billion US dollars is not expensive at all.

On the contrary, Ross felt that if his immediate boss had not insisted on asking him to agree, he would not agree.

But there is no way, the higher the rank, the more powerful he is, not to mention that the big boss next to him is several levels higher than him.

However, compared to Ross's feeling of loss at this time, the admiral next to him was also dumbfounded after hearing Ross's lion's mouth, looking at him with a dull face, and even when he came to his senses the next second, he wanted to snatch the phone from the other party's hand directly.

Is he talking about 50 billion? ! He was confirming whether it was really 5 billion.

He also wanted 50 billion. He swore that if the deal failed this time, he would take this guy to the Department of Veterans Affairs and let him experience the madness and torture on the spot.

"Okay!"

After hearing what the other party said, Killian thought for a while and agreed without hesitation.
