From the prototype, immortal

Moreover, with the full support of the Department of Defense and the military, Hammer Industries' advantages in resource allocation and cost control are virtually unmatched.

This unique position allows them to advance the mechanical iron soldier project with ease, facing almost no obstacles.

The inclination of the defense budget, the influx of top scientific research talents, and the unlimited testing grounds provided by the military have laid a solid foundation for the rapid research and mass production of mechanical iron soldiers.

Inside Hammer Industries' factories, production lines operate day and night, with robotic arms dancing in precise assembly processes. The birth of each mechanical iron soldier marks yet another leap in technology.

After completing assembly, these steel giants undergo rigorous testing and debugging before being transported to various military bases, ready to demonstrate their capabilities in actual combat.

Military leaders have high hopes for the mechanical iron soldiers, believing they will be the absolute masters of future battlefields, greatly enhancing the combat capabilities and survival rates of troops.

Tony Stark is not entirely unaware of Hammer Industries' progress.

Through his global information network, he constantly monitors industry trends, especially any developments related to his technology.

When he learned that Hammer Industries had successfully produced and delivered one hundred mechanical iron soldiers, Tony's heart couldn't help but stir.

"These mechanical soldiers are being manufactured so quickly?"

Tony stood in front of the huge glass window of his laboratory, gazing at the city in the night, his brow furrowed. "Is the technology really that simple?"

Jarvis quickly responded, "Mr. Stark, according to my analysis, the core technology of the mechanical iron soldiers is indeed relatively simple, not employing the complex systems you designed. They rely more on traditional mechanical transmission and relatively mature energy solutions, allowing for rapid replication on the production line."

"But even so, it shouldn't be this fast..."

Tony murmured to himself, feeling a faint sense of unease.

Just then, Jarvis's voice sounded again, with a hint of urgency, "Sir, there's a surprising discovery about these mechanical soldiers—they are equipped with arc reactor technology."

Tony turned around abruptly, staring at Jarvis's holographic projection. "What did you say? Arc reactors?"

Jarvis confirmed, "Yes, sir. Although the output power of these reactors is far lower than your previous palladium core cold fusion reactors, their basic principles and design ideas are highly consistent with the arc reactor you created."

Tony's face instantly darkened. "Where did Justin steal my technology from?"

His heart was filled with anger and confusion. After all, the arc reactor was something he developed on his own, under extreme conditions, during his kidnapping.

This technology not only saved his life but also became the core energy source for the Iron Man suit.

"This is impossible..."

Tony muttered to himself, then raised his voice, "Even if I put the technical drawings in front of him, he wouldn't be able to build it! Stark Industries spent so much time and resources back then and still didn't succeed..."

"I'm going to sue them for infringement!"

Tony angrily slammed the console, but was immediately interrupted by Jarvis's calm voice.

"Sir, you didn't apply for a patent, so you can't sue."

Jarvis's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Tony's head, instantly sobering him up.

Tony was stunned. Yes, he had never thought that anyone would copy his technology, so he had never considered applying for patent protection.

In his world, innovation was the greatest weapon, and confidence was the shield he used to overcome obstacles.

He confidently believed that his ideas and technology were unique and unmatched, just as Stark Industries had proven countless times in the past—they could always be at the forefront of technology, leading the trends of the times.

But now, this confidence seemed so naive and ridiculous. Tony realized that he had overlooked an important reality: in this competitive world, there are no eternal secrets, and no absolute security. Once your achievements are dazzling enough, there will always be someone who wants to share the spoils, even at the cost of stealing them.

Of course, even if Tony had known this in advance, he wouldn't have easily applied for a patent. In his opinion, the disadvantages of applying for a patent were too many.

First of all, he would need to submit accurate experimental data, technical drawings, and models. Once these materials were made public, it would be like exposing his research results naked to the world.

For someone as extremely concerned with privacy and secrecy as Tony, this would undoubtedly be an unacceptable torture.

More importantly, Tony knew the "rules of the game" in America.

The shamelessness of this country meant that any valuable technology could become the target of those who only sought profit.

Once a patent was approved, those greedy eyes would be fixed on his technology, and they might even seize it through improper means.

In this profit-driven society, power and interests often override law and morality.

Once his technical drawings fell into the hands of the military, the consequences would be disastrous. They might use these technologies to create more powerful weapons, or even use them for improper purposes.

No mistake, no first, no one, no hair, no inside, no capacity, no one, no see!

Tony couldn't imagine that his inventions would ultimately become tools for harming innocent people.

Although he couldn't directly sue the other party for infringement, he still had other ways to protect his rights.

He quickly began to consider various possible strategies in his mind: strengthening internal security measures, finding reliable allies, or even using the power of the media to expose the other party's evil deeds...

"Jarvis, immediately initiate a security review process. I want to know who leaked our technology!"

Tony issued the order.

Of course, Tony knew that internal leaks were unlikely, because every one of his arc reactors was manufactured in his basement.

If someone could install listening devices or pinhole cameras in his basement without being discovered, then he would accept it.

In Tony's opinion, even Chang Wei couldn't do such a thing, right?

Moreover, this thing couldn't be replicated just by watching him operate it. Many details and structures were only known to Tony himself.

So, no matter how unwilling he was, Tony couldn't help but consider a more likely reason.

That was that Justin Hammer had found a genius comparable to him.

Otherwise, what do you want Tony to say, that he's inferior to himself? Then how did he replicate the arc reactor?

Belittling the other party is belittling himself.
