Chapter 219 Tony Stark's Decision
After all, not every company or country has the mind and generosity of Pioneer Technology.
You know, although Lisa said it was simple to transform a planet, anyone who knows a little bit knows that it also requires a lot of resources and manpower.
And what does a lot of resources mean to a company? ! That is a lot of US dollars.
Pioneer Technology gave up such a project that made a lot of money every day, and chose to develop and build a new home for the entire human race. Almost no company can do such a move.
After all, if any of them were replaced by the CEO of Pioneer Technology, why would they spend so much money and thankless effort to transform the planet when there is already a dome base for human colonization?
In this way, with the passage of time, half a day passed quickly under the live broadcast on the scene, and in these 6 hours, the entire human race on Earth once again saw what the real "pioneer speed!" is.
On Mars, from the barren land with nothing on it, six hours later, modern factories and dome-shaped protective covers made of high-strength bulletproof glass have sprung up one after another.
Various modular buildings inside have been completely pieced together by large robots.
Some factories have even been put into use, and countless mining vehicles have begun to assist the robots in radiating outwards in all directions under their own resource radar positioning. In just a few hours, several different resource veins have been found.
In the live broadcast, even at the end, some mining vehicles began to pull full of ore back to the factory, and mining vehicles began to move towards the mining site they returned to.
And not only that, now that some bases have been initially completed, some of the colonized humans have begun to enter the bases under the transportation of land transport vehicles.
When these people walked out of the transport vehicle for the first time and really set foot on the ground on Mars, all mankind couldn't help but tremble at this moment.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! This is human?! We can finally set foot on other planets one day!"
"So exciting! I don't know why, when the robots started to build the base, I was just shocked and then I got used to it. I thought we would just go to the next place, but when I saw my compatriots standing on Mars, I suddenly felt an indescribable sense of pride in my heart!"
"Yes, this is a historic moment. From the moment these people really stepped on the ground of Mars without any protection, it also represents the true The ability to colonize the stars is not only the pride of a country or a nation, but also the pride of the entire human race, because they represent the Earth Federation of the human race! "
"I just feel that the shock of today is more than what I will bring in my whole life. I don't want to say more about other things. I just hope that Pioneer Technology will continue to work hard and open up interstellar travel one day. I also want to go to those unknown planets and enjoy different scenery!"
...
At this moment, countless people watching the live broadcast sent their feelings to the live broadcast room, and the number of people watching the live broadcast once again reached a peak.
At this moment, on the other side of the earth.
Looking at this scene in the live broadcast room, Tony Stark, who was originally in high spirits because he saved the world, couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile at this moment.
Even at this moment, on the table in front of him, the newspaper with "Iron Man Saves the World" printed on it was no longer fragrant at this moment.
For him, he should have been enjoying the attention of the stars, not to mention that he had an IQ advantage that was definitely higher than that of the entire human race. At this moment, it was gone.
You know, before this, no matter where he went, or where he went, or what he researched, it was definitely the focus of the world.
And now... looking at the armor not far away, even if this thing appeared, it can no longer attract even a trace of attention from those news newspapers in front of the news of Pioneer Technology.
Even at most, it is just a foil.
Those beautiful reporters who knew what kind of pose to make in order to get him to accept an interview or even just a glance from him, are now no longer found.
A bitter feeling that is different from this world and out of tune with it keeps lingering in Tony's heart.
Even in the end, he couldn't help but doubt himself, whether it was because he had been enjoying too much flattery that he really thought he was a genius that was rare in a century.
After all, you have to know that the technological products launched by Avant-garde Technology are no match for even the very first artificial intelligence, Baymax. Even now, with the destruction of Ultron, the entire human world's network has been directly taken over by Avant-garde Technology's artificial intelligence with the tacit approval of major global forces.
When he first operated the computer to try to understand the power of Avant-garde's artificial intelligence, he finally understood why Ultron could not invade Avant-garde's network even until his death.
After all, in this world, the number of mechanical legions controlled by Avant-garde can be said to be several times or even dozens of times that of them. Just those Terminator-like T-800s can become a machine torrent and flatten the entire world.
Not to mention those space carriers and various spacecraft.
These various technologies, as long as Ultron can control them, can instantly destroy the entire world.
But the final answer is that the other party not only failed to control them, but was even forced to find a ray of hope in reality in the end.
It was only at this time that he understood how huge the gap was between Jarvis, the butler who had previously claimed to be an artificial intelligence, and this truly top-notch artificial intelligence.
And it's not just that. Just for the technological products developed by Avant-garde, he asked himself that even if he saw these finished products, it would take a long time for him to build them.
Not to mention that Pioneer Technology has developed from robots to large space aircraft carriers in just two years, and even has TFL engines. These are simply more incredible than the other.
Even if any one of them is put in front of him and told to him in front of him that these were developed in two years, he may believe it after hesitation, but all of these together, let alone a company, even a country, or even the entire earth, may not be able to produce so many epoch-making products in just two years.
After all, just like his father's message to him in the video, sometimes a person's wisdom will really be limited by the times.
His father had already researched the Ark Reactor, but the technology at that time did not allow him to manufacture it, because there was no technology like now, and the situation he is facing now is the same.
There are many things that are impossible to manufacture, and he really can't figure out how Pioneer Technology can make them.
Even at the end, Tony once suspected that Avant-garde Technology had secretly developed a technology level beyond human civilization for decades. With the accumulation of experience, it was able to develop so many technologies in just two years.
However... he also knew that if this was true, then the man would not have come to him on Christmas two years ago.
Because if the other party really had such technology, there would definitely be people lining up to give him money.
"Tony, are you okay?!"
Just when Tony Stark was still doubting himself, a charitable voice pushed the door open and rang in front of him.
"I'm fine, Stan, I'm just a little too tired these days."
After hearing what Obadiah Stan said, Tony Stark replied with an uncomfortable expression.
After all, for some reason, after experiencing this incident, he always felt that the other party's gaze on him was a little too hot, just like a peerless beauty being stared at by him.
"Really?! That won't work. You need to take a good rest at this stage. You know, although the news media in the world are now reporting on Pioneer Technology."
"But this time, after all, the robots that destroyed other people's families were printed with the logo of our Stark Group. The overall public opinion is still very unfavorable to our group."
"So promise me, leave the company's affairs to me. I will deal with all the negative news, and you can rest at home with peace of mind, okay?!"
After hearing Stark's words of illness, Obadistein's eyes flashed with a flash of light, and then he spoke with concern.
The whole picture is like a kind parent caring about his child.
But if someone really knows what the other party has done, they will know what kind of ambition this kind face has.
"I will, but not now."
"The primary responsibility for the intelligent robot army is mine. I will hold a press conference and announce that I am responsible for the whole incident."
"And set up a foundation to compensate the victims."
Not seeing the light in Obadestan's eyes, Tony Stark, who was still trapped in his own world at this moment, talked to himself.
After all, during this period of time, whenever he walked on the street, he could clearly see many people who were affected, looking at him with a face full of dust, despair, and even anger.
Although he also knew that it was not his fault, it was all because of that damn Ultron.
But if he had not created those intelligent robots and did not give them countermeasures, this would have led to the loss of the production line, and a steady stream of intelligent robots were manufactured to go to all parts of the world for crazy destruction and occupation.
Even this time, the number of people who died at the hands of the robots he created was no less than five digits.
And this is just a preliminary statistic. Even if you think about it with your feet, you know that the actual number must be much higher than this number.
After all, after this crisis that destroyed the earth, just letting people gather together to keep warm was already the best effort, not to mention the statistics.
It can be said that this was because of the help of the pioneering technology robots. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the United States, which has now had half of its military power and urban facilities interrupted, to maintain its own operation, let alone take care of civilians.
And all this is because of him.
He personally created a big killer, but there is no clamping means like pioneering technology that can control it.
He was arrogant, and even at the beginning he just pursued firepower and mobility, intending to develop the power of these war weapons to the maximum.
And now, looking at those children who are even a few years old, who have lost their families and are desperately standing in the ruins, even when they sleep at night, Tony only feels that as long as he closes his eyes, countless innocent ordinary people will die tragically because of his inventions, and there are all kinds of children, just standing quietly not far away, looking at him with despair and helplessness.
Even at the end, when he forced himself to fall asleep, he would wake up at any time.
And it was at this moment that he realized one thing, that is, no matter the public's current superhero title of Iron Man or the head of the Stark Group, he needs to stand up and take responsibility for all this at this time.
Even if he had to empty the entire Stark Group for this, it was what the Stark family owed them.
"Are you crazy?! Do you know how big the impact of this incident is?!"
"Let's not talk about our own country. Just in South Korea, the destruction caused by the robots of the Stark Group is the entire city of Seoul. You want to be responsible?! What can you take responsibility for?"
"The entire Stark Group?!"
"Please, let's not talk about whether this is realistic or not. Just talk about the company. This is not only yours, but also the joint efforts of your father, me, and the shareholders of the board of directors."
"Tony, you really need to see a doctor. I understand that you have a psychological shadow and fear when you see those tragic deaths on the battlefield for the first time. This is normal. Your father and I were the same when we went to the battlefield before."
"But you have to distinguish where your abilities are. It is a good thing to have responsibilities and responsibilities, but taking responsibilities beyond your ability will often turn good things into bad things."
After hearing such dangerous remarks from Tony's own nephew, at this moment, Obadestan began to frown and look at the other party with a serious face, and then tried to persuade him.
Although he has always known that his nephew's ideas are somewhat unrealistic, he always thinks that he is a genius who is close to madness.
But he swears that he never felt that he was a complete madman as strongly as he did now.
You know, if Stark really stood up and took all the responsibilities on their company.
Then it would be impossible to settle without tens of billions of dollars, and even hundreds of billions of dollars is not impossible. You know, the direct economic losses in Seoul alone are now nearly 100 billion US dollars according to statistics.
Not to mention the number of deaths and injuries. According to the usual donation principle, if they really want to donate, they will have to invest almost 10 billion US dollars in this city.
And even so, it may not be possible to get a good result. After all, as a person who climbed up from the bottom, he knows the bad nature of human nature. As long as you stand up and declare your responsibility, countless people will flock to you and ask you to take responsibility for this matter.
In short, if you stick to it, it will never be good without being skinned.
Not to mention the entire United States, even now, the affiliated industries under their Stark Group may not be able to radiate the entire United States, let alone let them be responsible for this matter.
Now he can already imagine what kind of huge dangerous scene their entire group will face if Tony Stark really stands up.
"Stan, not only that, I am also going to close the weapons department of the Stark Group."
"In this year, I have experienced too many things. I found that the weapons we claimed to be able to protect world peace turned out to be the real culprit that caused the continuous world wars."
"And we claimed to be armor that could protect the world, but in the end we became our own enemies."
"Our Stark Group has been growing too smoothly and too fast. We are not as powerful as Pioneer Technology. We don't have that kind of powerful artificial intelligence that can perform data calculations and simulations for unlimited trial and error."
"For us, every step represents the blood and tears behind it, and countless families are broken because of our weapons."
"So it's time for us to stop and think about it. After closing the weapons department, I will focus on the development of other scientific and technological fields."
After hearing Obadestan's dissuasion, Tony was not surprised. After all, he knew that although his uncle usually cared about him, he had always invested a lot of effort in the entire company. Suddenly, the decision he made was like cutting off his arm. However, Tony believed that he could convince the other party with the almost family-like connection between them.
