Lacey's words made Renoli, Kyle, and the Prophet's eyes flash.
He had only considered the difference in individual strength and the power of the Iron Man Armor, but had not considered that the weapons carried by such an Iron Man army were enough to play a decisive role in some large-scale wars.
This immediately made Renoli, Kyle, and the Prophet revere Tony.
With Tony's intellect, it was inevitable that he would develop many high technologies in the future.
Not only could he bring a continuous stream of funds to the Void God Cult, allowing for the establishment of various facilities.
Moreover, Tony's technology would inevitably become a trump card for the Void God Cult in the future.
They could play a role in various battles, but in the face of large-scale wars, the power of one person, unless it directly exceeded the limit, would have a limited impact.
At that time, it would be the turn of technology to provide direct firepower coverage.
Considering that Tony's own strength was not yet strong, and his combat experience was insufficient, they might have to protect Tony to prevent this trump card from encountering any mishaps.
While the few of them were conversing.
Tony had already installed Gravity Devices on sixteen Cosmic Warships and was having them undergo test flights to check their performance.
And in this process, Tony obtained a large amount of useful data, which made Tony very happy.
The crowd around Tony was even more impressed, prostrating themselves in admiration.
Because they saw a possibility: if Tony could create a set for new members of the Void God Cult, it could perfectly help newly joined members of the Void God Cult get through their initial weak period.
Perhaps not yet, but as the Prophet said, it would become possible in the future.
The representatives from the sixteen large companies, after testing the performance, all signed orders worth one hundred million with Tony.
They planned to try it on a small scale first, and if there were no problems after a year of use, they would continue to place orders.
They also inquired about the Iron Man Armor, and although they were somewhat disappointed to learn that it was not for sale, it was also within expectations.
Tony Stark, who could produce such high-tech mechanical Iron Man Armor, must have a very good mind.
They would still have opportunities to cooperate and purchase other technologies developed by Tony Stark in the future.
After each paying a fifty million deposit to Tony Stark, they left first.
This immediately brought in eight hundred million, but Tony knew that he hadn't truly earned this eight hundred million yet.
"Miss Sonia, tonight I will have Jarvis send you the factory design blueprints and the machinery that needs to be purchased."
"Once the factory is built, I'll trouble you to help recruit some people and start operations."
So Tony transferred seven hundred and ninety-five million to Sonia, keeping five million for himself to spend, and then spoke.
"Okay, I will use this money to its maximum reasonable extent."
"Construction can begin in at most one month."
Sonia nodded upon hearing this and gave a more specific timeframe.
"I'm very confident leaving it to you."
"Then you go get busy."
Tony smiled and nodded upon hearing this.
Afterward, Tony soared into the sky and quickly headed towards his laboratory.
Scanning a large amount of Cosmic Warship data just now allowed him to start learning and referencing how to construct his own Cosmic Warship ahead of time.
Sonia saw Mr. Tony Stark leave, glanced at the Void God Cult members who were still observing, and then also left.
She was going to report this good news to Mr. Kassadin, and as for the five million Mr. Tony Stark left for her, she didn't care.
Previously, Mr. Tony Stark had no choice; he couldn't make money, so he always had to apply for funds for whatever he wanted to do.
Although Mr. Kassadin would basically agree to whatever he applied for.
However, when she needed to use money, she had to apply, which for Mr. Tony Stark certainly meant no secrets.
Now that eight hundred million had finally come in, it was normal to temporarily keep five million.
"Eight hundred million? He just earned eight hundred million?"
"Is money really that easy to earn?"
"How high would eight hundred million be if it were stacked in front of us?"
"How would I know? I've never even seen a hundred million."
The other members of the Void God Cult heard Tony Stark's conversation with those people clearly.
Now that Tony Stark and Miss Sonia had left, they immediately started discussing.
"Indeed, to make big money, you still have to rely on entrepreneurship."
"Tony Stark's ability to succeed in entrepreneurship so quickly is largely due to Tony Stark's excellent mind."
"So My Lord Kassadin is willing to provide funds for his research."
"Is your mind that good? Entrepreneurship requires capability."
"No…"
"Well, there you have it."
Some people from the Void God Cult were incredibly envious, chatting as they dispersed.
Although they hadn't heard it with their own ears, they saw My Lord Kassadin's housekeeper, Miss Sonia, occasionally appearing to talk with Tony Stark.
This time they even appeared together, so it was clear that those who were willing to come for the survey were most likely found by Miss Sonia.
Therefore, it was not difficult for them to see that My Lord Kassadin had supported Tony Stark's research and development of the Gravity Device in this transaction.
However, Tony Stark, without using his main strength, was so powerful just with technology, which ignited the fighting spirit of some members of the Void God Cult.
If they didn't have such a good mind, then they would strive to evolve more.

Meanwhile, Sonia returned to the Villa and reported the details of the transaction to Harvey.
"After the factory is completed, roughly how long will it take to complete the first batch of orders?"
Harvey asked after listening.
"The seven hundred and ninety-five million needs to be used to purchase a small island."
"Then, building the factory and training workers to operate the machinery can proceed simultaneously."
"According to what Mr. Tony Stark said about production, the first batch of orders is expected to be completed in four months."
"At that time, the other party will transfer the full payment."
"As long as Mr. Tony Stark's name is established, there should be more orders subsequently, so the number of factories needs to be increased."
"According to estimates, at most a year from now, after deducting taxes and sharing profits with Mr. Tony Stark, there will be at least three billion in annual income, and this is a conservative estimate."
Sonia also stated the time when formal profits would begin and the subsequent need for additional investment.
High-tech is a highly profitable industry, especially what Mr. Tony Stark is researching, which is a common device applicable to various Cosmic Warships and Cosmic Warships.
However, participating in the high-tech industry is not something ordinary people can do.
Didn't Tony Stark, such a genius, only take five months to develop it, but the development funds for purchasing various equipment and materials also cost a full eight hundred million?
If it were replaced by hiring an elite team for development, the money spent would be even more.
But now Mr. Tony Stark has succeeded; as long as Mr. Tony Stark occasionally updates and iterates, keeping the Gravity Device high-performance and low-cost at its core.
In this interstellar era, there is no need to worry about not having buyers for hundreds of years.
Even if a certain Planet suddenly produces a cross-era Cosmic Warship for space travel hundreds of years later.
Old-era Cosmic Warships will not be eliminated so quickly for the time being, after all, the Universe is so vast.
Not every civilization can completely eliminate old-era Cosmic Warships at the first moment.
The second update is here.
