Hex Technology Tycoon of American Comics

"You did a great job! Carl, the military has decided to invest heavily in your research. From now on, the exoskeleton project will be upgraded to a second-level special project!"

As soon as Karl woke up, he saw Obadiah, a bald man, talking to him excitedly.

Because his arm was dislocated and he received a low-light injection, Carl's head still had a dull pain after he woke up, and he didn't regain consciousness for a while.

However, under the doctor's manipulation, he quickly came to his senses.

The second-level special project is the internal classification method of Stark Industries. Only projects listed as special projects will receive attention and funding. The third-level project is a wide range of basic research, which generally provides some sponsorship to teachers in universities.

Starting from the second level are key projects, and the first level is long-term cooperation projects with the military, such as the upgrading of various existing products.

There is a special level above this - it can be simply called Tony Special, which is a project based on Tony Stark's needs.

To put it simply, being included in the special project means that Obadiah has changed his thinking from "cheating funds" to "this is a cash cow, so we can increase investment."

"Level [-]?" Karl repeated in a daze.

Obadiah patted his forehead and said, "Yes - but although it is Level [-], its importance is the same as Level [-]. It is just because of the cooperation with United Aerospace that the level is nominally lower."

Karl shook his head again. Although this was good news, couldn't the bald man wait until he was more awake before talking...

The doctor on the side frowned when he saw this, and said slightly dissatisfied: "Mr. Obadiah, the wounded need to rest. Maybe you can change the time and place to talk about these things?"

"Of course." Obadiah raised his hand. Regardless of whether he is kind or not, in daily life, he is an educated person - to put it simply, he still knows how to act.

And Karl is now a potential cash cow.

"I hope you can understand, I still have a meeting, I just hope I can tell you the good news in person -

In fact, there is some other good news, let your little assistant tell you - I'm leaving first, have a good rest. "

Karl nodded and watched the bald man go.

But after Obadiah left, the doctor's expression became a little tangled, and he even sighed.

This scene... does it look familiar?

Karl was stunned for a moment, and then remembered where he had seen this expression: when he was declared terminally ill twice...

That's what those doctors looked like.

Sure enough, the doctor spoke: "Mr. Carl, we tried to contact your family, but your boss said you have no other relatives, so I think you have to bear the news by yourself.

We've observed that your cellular metabolic cycle is faster than the average person's - generally speaking this means better exercise capacity and metabolic capacity, but it's not good news for you.

Some of your cells and internal organs seem to have undergone bad mutations, and their lifespan is very short. From a macro perspective, they are rapidly declining.

We rarely see this disease, if possible..."

"How long do I have?" Karl interrupted the doctor and said calmly.

The doctor was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know. If it's fast, it's a month. If it's slow, I might live until Christmas."

"Christmas? That means the best-case scenario is only two months away." Carl thought, rubbing his chin.

Although the doctor was curious about why Karl was so calm, he continued: "The symptoms that occur in your body are very rare. If possible, we would like to conduct some research...

Of course, it's also for you. "

If it can really be saved - this is what the doctor has not finished saying.

What was happening to Carl was not simple internal failure, but a massive cellular disease.

Cells with genetic breakdown are rapidly crowding out normal cells, like cancer, and triggering massive failure.

Upon hearing this proposal, Karl was stunned for a moment.

Thinking about it carefully, I actually don't know much about what happened to me. The only one who had an in-depth understanding of the disease, Dr. Pearson, was the one who took care of his predecessor for more than half a year. He died in the battle between Abomination and Hulk as soon as he opened his eyes. in the struggle.

Before, I didn't dare to go to the hospital because I had no identity and wanted to complain, but now I don't seem to care about it anymore.

After all, even if Hex Technology had a way to redeem itself, it would have to do research first.

"Um...Okay, may I know who you plan to introduce me to?"

"Oh, he's a doctor from Imperial University. He may even be your teacher. You should have heard of him - his name is Kurt Connors. You can call him Dr. Connors."

Hearing the name, Carl was stunned for a moment - isn't this Dr. Lizard?

"Okay, just take a good rest here first - by the way, don't smoke those things. I know it can relieve your pain, but it is not a long-term solution after all."

After speaking, the doctor also made a gesture towards Karl, which made Karl confused for a while.

But soon he realized what was going on - the doctor was talking about the low-light syringe in his forearm.

Fortunately, I injected all the 10ml of shimmer hidden inside at that time, otherwise it would have caused an uproar if the remaining parts were found.

After all, I'm not ready to put this thing on the table yet.

Peter came in after a while: "Oh, thank God, you're okay!"

"Of course I'm fine. Mr. Obadiah said there is some good news. Let's hear it. It will just relieve my stress."

To put it simply, the exoskeleton project team will be officially listed as a key project, and the funds that can be mobilized for the project will exceed US$500 million, and will be gradually increased in the future.

At present, it seems that it is at least a tens of millions of dollars project.

However, due to the Green Goblin's attack, several unlucky researchers died at the scene, and some were severely disabled. Therefore, if he wants to continue research and improvement, Carl may have to find some new people.

Having tasted the sweetness, United Aerospace and Stark Industries decided to delegate more power and let Karl be truly responsible for the project.

All this was due to the fact that Carl retained the military acceptance officers on site, which made the military think highly of this project.

"Speaking of which, it looks like the mayor of New York is going to give you a Citizen's Medal for standing up to terrorists."

After finishing speaking, Peter said somewhat sourly: "There is obviously another person present, why didn't they invite Spider-Man?"

Karl smiled, but did not reveal Peter's identity, but said: "Speaking of this, I have to thank the guy in the red tights--you said his name is Spider-Man?

What a coincidence, I saw a Spider-Man before in the underground boxing ring. "

"Uh..." Peter paused, his eyes wandering.

Karl took the initiative to find another topic and said: "Where's that freak? I said the one in green clothes, what happened next?"

Speaking of this, Peter's expression became serious.

"After Spider-Man beat him away, he also said that he would come back and so on. I think it is best for you to stay in the hospital recently."

"Am I going to be scared by a madman?"

"No." Peter shook his head, "He didn't scare anyone. In the two days when you were unconscious, several military personnel were killed."

After hearing this, Karl understood what was going on--

Many of the equipment used by the Green Goblin have been demonstrated to military personnel - at least the hang gliding technology has been demonstrated.

Whether it was out of revenge or to hide his intentions, he had to kill those guys who had actually seen the hang glider prototype to prevent anyone from making connections.

No wonder I could lie here peacefully for two days.

Thinking of this, Karl stretched out his hand to Peter: "Help me up, I want to be discharged from the hospital, and I want it now."

"But…"

"Stop it, I won't wait here to die like a pig waiting to be slaughtered."

The Green Goblin will definitely come knocking, but next time, Carl will be prepared.
