From the prototype, immortal

Where did Tony go during his disappearance?

Obadiah didn't know.

But now that Tony is back, nothing matters anymore. They have to deal with that competitor!

Tony's return means that everything will return to the game field dominated by innovation and competition.

Tony only learned about their competitors at this time.

"Ares Industries? This name is really cliché, just like the villain in a third-rate story, always trying to conquer the world by force..."

Tony kept complaining. He sat in a spacious office with a detailed information about Ares Industries in front of him.

At first, he thought it was just a new small military enterprise that tried to attract attention by launching some novel but non-threatening products.

However, when he turned to the product introduction page, his face suddenly became solemn.

"Power armor?!"

Tony repeated the word in disbelief, his eyes shuttled back and forth between the picture and the caption, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

"This... How is this possible?!"

It was a set of equipment that had never been seen before. It was neither a new missile nor a new fighter, but a "power armor" that could completely change the form of war - a "human tank" power armor.

Power armor, this concept is not completely unfamiliar. It is similar to a power exoskeleton, but it is far more complex and powerful than the latter.

It not only requires the ability to significantly enhance the wearer's physical strength, speed and endurance, but also must have excellent protection, be able to operate in extreme environments, and even integrate multiple military functions such as fire support, communication, reconnaissance and detection.

However, due to technical bottlenecks and the development of materials science, no breakthrough has been made.

And now, Ares Industries has successfully turned this idea into reality and brought it to the market.

Obadiah nodded.

"Yes, power armor. It is similar to a power exoskeleton, but its functions are far beyond our imagination. It can not only enhance the basic capabilities of the human body, but also has good protection, adaptability to complex environments, and military functions such as auxiliary firepower, communication, and reconnaissance support. It can be said that this is a perfect war machine."

The "human tank" power armor displayed on the screen has a futuristic and technological appearance.

It is covered with a light alloy that glows slightly golden green in the light. This alloy can not only effectively protect against attacks from light weapons or bomb fragments, but also reduce the overall weight of the armor and improve the mobility of soldiers.

The head of the power armor is designed with a helmet with a power pack. This helmet is much lighter than any standard Marine helmet, but it can provide enough power to support the operation of various functions of the armor.

The helmet is also equipped with advanced communication equipment and reconnaissance systems, allowing soldiers to obtain enemy information in real time on the battlefield and make the most accurate judgments.

The main part of the power armor adopts an action-synchronized drive system, which can synchronize the armor with the soldier's movements perfectly, whether running, jumping or climbing, it can be easily handled.

More importantly, this system can also increase the strength of soldiers, allowing them to exert combat power beyond ordinary people on the battlefield.

Tony's eyes shuttled back and forth between the pictures and parameters, and his heart was filled with unprecedented shock.

He was responsible for not only the rise and fall of the company, but also the future direction of the entire industry.

Stark Industries has been leading the development of military technology for decades, and their name has almost become synonymous with innovation.

However, at this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, as if an undercurrent was quietly surging, which could wash away his carefully constructed empire without a trace at any time.

He stared at the power armor on the screen, which was the latest product developed by Ares Industries. Although it had no flying ability, its sturdy armor and powerful firepower system made it a veritable "human tank".

Once such equipment is used on a large scale, it will completely change the balance of power on the battlefield, making traditional ground forces and armored units face unprecedented challenges.

Tony couldn't help but think that if a battle really happened, these power armors, with their excellent mobility and anti-tank weapons, would probably be difficult to resist even the strongest tanks.

Thinking of this, Tony couldn't help but frown.

He had originally made up his mind to gradually reduce Stark Industries' investment in weapons research and development, and even considered closing the weapons department and turning to more peaceful and beneficial technology research and development.

However, the rise of Ares Industries forced him to re-examine this decision.

Fortunately, his Iron Man suit is more advanced than theirs after all.

This power armor has no flying ability, at best it is a "human tank". Of course, if a real fight breaks out, tanks will not be their opponents, because they are too mobile, and they can also carry anti-tank weapons.

And Ares Industries has successfully become a new member of the American military-industrial complex with this power armor, becoming their most powerful competitor.

"Tony, we must act as soon as possible and not let them get ahead."

Obadiah's words were filled with a hint of pleading, hoping that Tony would pay attention to this problem and come up with a solution as soon as possible.

If Ares Industries continues to develop, Stark Industries' dominance in the military industry will be in jeopardy.

As Stark Industries' deputy, this is absolutely unacceptable to him.

He has always regarded Stark Industries as his hard work and pride, how can he tolerate it being defeated like this?

"Let's not talk about this for now."

Tony Stark's voice was filled with a hint of impatience, and he threw the documents in his hand onto the desk with force, and the papers of the documents were scattered all over the floor, just like his irritable mood at the moment.

He stood up, looking through the spacious and luxurious office, looking at the prosperous city outside the window, but his heart was full of worries.

He decided to put down his work temporarily and go to see Ethan Payne, the doctor who rescued him on the battlefield in Afghanistan, who is now lying in the most advanced ward in the company's medical facilities.

Tony's steps were firm and hurried, and his figure shuttled through the corridor, and every step seemed to tell of his concern for his friend.

In this world full of conspiracies and dangers, it is so rare for him to have a friend he can trust.

Ethan not only saved his life, but also lit a bright light in the depths of his heart, making him realize that the power of technology should be used for justice and peace.
