Marvel's Speedster

At this moment, the live broadcast of the press conference of the cutting-edge technology laboratory is being transmitted to thousands of households through invisible radio waves.

"This is the CBS News Channel. The front reporter Alice West is broadcasting for you. According to the latest news, the cutting-edge technology laboratory officially announced today the launch of a new drug, which is tentatively named Phoenix-Alpha Type I, the main function is to repair limb disabilities and guide the regeneration of severed limbs. This drug has passed FDA certification. According to industry insiders, the effect of Phoenix drug is extremely miraculous, and it is fundamentally different from previous wound healing drugs and hormone drugs. Dr. Kurt Connors showed up to demonstrate the regenerated right arm. …”

"Welcome to ABC TV's focus tracking program. I'm the host, Louise Lois. As we all know, the number one cause of death for citizens under the age of 44 in our country is not cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, not cancer, but car accidents. The number of people who die in car accidents every year As high as 100,000 people, nearly a quarter of the total number of casualties during the war. That is to say, traffic accidents caused the United States to experience a world war every four years, and an average of one person died in a car accident every 350 seconds, and every 10 seconds That is, one person was injured or disabled due to a traffic accident, but today we got a shocking news that advanced medicine will give the disabled a new life..."

National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) reporter Maggie Seaver brings you the most valuable news of the year: Mr. Ross‧Byrne, a well-known leader in the new generation of science and technology today, launched the epoch-making invention of Phoenix drug, which is believed to be the end The official spokesperson of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences Nobel Prize Review Committee expressed cautious welcome to this milestone masterpiece in the history of human disability. According to unnamed committee members, Mr. Ross‧Byrne and Dr. Kurt Connors are eligible to enter the nomination list..."

At this time, any North American viewer who turns on the TV screen will see a program similar to the above report.

It is a painful choice for the media that the old and new 063 figures in the industry held a press conference at the same time. Originally, the fishing industry was still waiting to see, and even faintly leaned towards Stark's amazing turn of the return of the king, but when they learned that the reporters ahead After receiving reliable news, the editor-in-chief of any media will understand that what the young Ross wants to show is more positive.

On the other hand, no matter what Tony's starting point is, closing down a large factory that provides tens of thousands of jobs will cause a completely unnecessary economic crisis. Considering the previous bad record of this gentleman, no one really believes that He will cut off his most important cash cow from now on, so the five major TV networks switched the scene almost at the same time, and they all turned to the laboratory news hall in Westchester County, upstate New York.

There, Ross and others were surrounded by a large number of fanatical reporters.

"Mr. Byrne, Phoenix Potion is the first regenerative drug that can be actually applied in the clinical stage. Where does it get its inspiration from?" In front of Ross.

"No kind of inspiration is completely based on nothingness, and Phoenix is ​​definitely no exception. The process of biological evolution is often a process of adapting to the environment. In the fierce competition of nature, organisms possess various ability, including the ability to regenerate the body. In comparison, the regenerative ability of higher animals is very weak, while the instinct of lower animals is more developed, so we got the initial inspiration from some creatures, and then we have The prototype of Phoenix."

In the face of countless cameras, Ross talked freely under the flashlight. He didn't mention the existence of Mutants such as Sabretooth and Wolverine, and deliberately led Waiquan in the wrong direction.

... After research, we found that when the amputated limbs of salamanders are not restored, a bioelectric potential will be generated, and this potential will gradually increase, as if sending information to the wound through the electric current, so that the terminal of the residual limb The cells divide, form new tissue, and eventually grow into the lost limb. All salamander species have this ability, among which the red-spotted salamander can regenerate not only complete limbs, but even part of their spine, tail and eyes, which shows that on the basis of type I, there is a large The unknown space is waiting for us to explore. "

"Hello, Mr. Byrne, I'm Vanity Fair reporter Christine Everhert, I noticed that the new drug has not applied for IND (Preclinical Application for New Drug) and NDA (New Drug Application), only ANDA (Simplified new drug application) production approval, does this mean that Fenix ​​will be a generic drug that is not protected by patents, how does the laboratory explain this, and is there any consideration for cooperation with other large companies? "

This question is more professional. The dark-skinned blond female reporter is a well-known media person who has interviewed Stark. Ross did not neglect, and directly responded positively.

"S.T.A.R. (Advanced Technology Laboratory) is a new type of economy that is actively open. We are willing to cooperate with any company, but our purpose is to obtain due economic benefits and develop advanced technology. We are not doing charity for free. There will be choices, and our inventions will be protected in the form of trade secrets, and we will have a series of follow-up measures in this regard in the future."

The flashing lights kept flashing, and the heat almost brought the release hall back from winter to midsummer. While Ross was dealing with the media in an orderly manner, a side door opened in the back dressing room, and a familiar young man sneaked in.

"The Horn Daily reporter Parker has a question." With the help of Gwen, Peter sneaked into the front row with the contemptuous eyes of his peers, and raised his arms to ask questions to his high school classmates.

"Excuse me, Ross, do you know about the recent gas explosion in Central Park? That incident killed two people, severely burned 12, and maimed another 29 people in the chaos. Is Mr. Ross willing to provide assistance to innocent citizens? Some real help?"

Although most of the reporters in the front row disdain his shameless behavior of jumping in line by relying on connections, the lively scene was still a little quiet after hearing this question, and many photographers took the opportunity to focus on Ross. Hear what the tech upstart has to say about it.

"First of all, I would like to express my condolences to the citizens who passed away in the accident." Ross stood up and bowed his head slightly to express his solemn silence. Other reporters also stood up in cooperation, expressing their inner thoughts.

"Secondly, what I want to say is, Mr. Parker----" He deliberately emphasized Peter's surname, which is a kind of invisible return.

"Early before the press conference, Dr. Conners and I have decided to provide free medical treatment to the innocent citizens injured in this disaster. No matter what their injuries are, the laboratory is willing to lend a helping hand and do our part." Let us share our strength and make due contributions to noble charities. Not only that, but every year the laboratory will provide a variable number of places to treat those citizens in need.

After finishing speaking, he nodded to the side amidst thunderous applause. The security supervisor, Toad Toad, immediately opened the large curtain in the corner. Behind the crimson velvet curtain, more than ten people led by Connors Men and women of different ages came out from the next door one after another. They were all ordinary citizens who suffered minor injuries in the accident. After the treatment in the laboratory, some of the lost limbs have now successfully grown back. Reported victim accounts are undoubtedly more accurate and reliable than any statement from a laboratory.

"Mr. Conners, is the new arm as healthy and strong as before, and how long is the total treatment cycle?"

"How does the laboratory plan for the marketing of new drugs, and what is the approximate price after entering the market?"

"If other companies produce similar drugs, what methods will you take to protect commercial interests from infringement?"

"After the alpha type, what expected effect will the new drug have, or will it seek other research directions, and do you have any intention of cooperating with industry peers?"

Enthusiastic reporters swarmed up, Todd hurriedly led his men to maintain order on the scene, a narrator and representatives of injured citizens spoke, Ross temporarily escaped from the flashing lights, and went to the back dressing room with Connors to talk.

"Your classmate is late again. Fortunately, he knows how to cooperate." Connors looked back at Peter, dissatisfied with this Spider-man, who occasionally plays a role as a hero and delays his work.

"Peter has always been very smart, I believe he will know what is worth pursuing", Ross shrugged, took two glasses of water from Gwen, handed one to the doctor, and at the same time toasted himself voice.

"Stark's news is confirmed?" he asked.

"That's right, I specially asked Todd to send someone to observe the scene. He announced the news himself, and Obaday Stan didn't even have time to stop it!" Speaking of the other side, the doctor's always calm old face couldn't help but smile .

"I didn't expect that he would actually make such a stupid decision to shut down all the weapon factories founded by his father Howard. Now our stock market funds can be completely relieved. God, I was too conservative at the time. We We should short all 16 million instead of just taking out 6 million. If we listened to your opinion, our financial pressure has been resolved now! What should we do next?"

The doctor asked enthusiastically, the financial game was a completely unfamiliar field to him, and the reason for Ross' decision was not sufficient, if he hadn't used Stark's secretary, Miss Pepper, as an excuse to imply that this was some kind of insider information, perhaps Connors also tried to persuade Ross not to invest money in the securities market easily.

Although only a part of the funds were invested, 6 million is already a lot. If it is not a large-cap industrial stock like Stark Industries, but it is replaced by any new technology company

It is not an easy task to conduct securities lending transactions with securities companies in such a short period of time without attracting attention.

This is also thanks to Tony returning to New York the day after Christmas. Otherwise, if the press conference was held one day earlier, then Ross would not be able to catch up with this opportunity on the second day of the Christmas holiday.

Now just wait for a period of time, you can get back the harvest with interest.

All thanks to the lovely Tony.

"Cheers to Mister Stark!" Ross suggested.

"Cheers, to Stark!" The Doctor beamed. .
