The Military industry expo concluded successfully.
Nolan's smile hadn't stopped since the Military personnel arrived.
Regarding the relatively mature SAR-1 Combat Robot.
The Army, as the main force, directly ordered 300 units, while the Navy and Air Force together added up to 100 units.
The number wasn't large, but it showed their appreciation.
The real business would likely only begin after practical combat testing.
But even so, earning $500,000 per unit, 400 units would be two hundred million!
Unfortunately, at this stage, he could only receive 22 million as a deposit, which was better than nothing.
Although it seemed like a lot, for the system, it could only buy some scraps.
The Military industry expo gradually dispersed.
Generals from the Military left, and the weapon merchants also gradually scattered.
Just as Nolan was preparing to pack up.
Tony Stark and Obadiah Stane walked over.
Obadiah Stane's face held a smile.
Tony Stark, on the other hand, had a look of disdain.
This expression was enough to tell everyone.
Nolan Locke?
He wasn't worthy of being his opponent!
Of course, what he was thinking in his heart, no one knew.
"Mr. Locke, I am Obadiah Stane from Stark Industries.
I've observed your company's products, most of which are in the high-end weapons field.
As everyone knows, Stark Industries' intelligent system is the most advanced, perhaps we can cooperate."
"Cooperation?"
Nolan glared at Tony Stark.
Towards that punchable face, he had no other feeling besides finding it punchable.
He chuckled and said:
"Unless you can make Tony Stark beg me, otherwise, don't even think about it!"
When he spoke the last sentence, Nolan's voice rose a few octaves.
Hearing this, Tony Stark glared at Obadiah Stane.
"I told you already, you shouldn't try to cooperate with him.
This bastard's achievements in the field of machinery are extremely poor.
He even brings out semi-finished products to deceive people.
One can imagine, his character isn't very good either."
"Hmm?"
Nolan sneered.
"Is there anyone worse than Tony Stark, whose eyes are on his forehead!"
Perhaps it was because both were in the field of machinery, or perhaps Tony Stark was naturally annoying.
In short...
In Nolan's eyes.
When the two met, only one could leave handsomely!
Obadiah Stane's face darkened.
He had come to seek cooperation.
He saw the potential of the T-800.
Although the T-800 still had many flaws.
But these were all things Stark Industries could solve.
So in his opinion, cooperation between the two would undoubtedly earn more money.
Nolan looked at Obadiah Stane.
"Mr. Stane, your relationship with Tony Stark is really like my relationship with Uncle Charles."
"Oh? Who is that Charles?"
Nolan smiled.
"My father's capable assistant, he could be said to be my godfather."
Tony Stark's eyes suddenly showed a hint of recognition.
Indeed, the two were very similar.
"Then why didn't he come?"
Tony Stark couldn't help but ask.
"Probably dead."
Nolan answered indifferently.
"Uh, I'm sorry, that brought up a bad memory..."
At this, not only Obadiah Stane, but Tony Stark's face also showed a hint of apology.
Presumably, for Nolan Locke, this was a very sad fact.
Nolan smiled.
"No, in fact, I'm not sad."
He looked at Obadiah Stane with a meaningful gaze and said:
"I treated him as a godfather, but unfortunately, I only discovered when the company faced a crisis.
He had always been dissatisfied with me because of the company's shares.
After my father died, it erupted.
He wanted to kill me..."
The last sentence instantly made Obadiah Stane's face stiffen.
Similar, they were indeed too similar.
Because, he also wanted to kill Tony Stark.
Obadiah Stane's face was awkward.
Unfortunately, Tony Stark was completely unaware.
He looked at Nolan with the gaze of a pitiful wretch.
What is a godfather?
One of the closest people besides one's father.
To be betrayed by such a close person.
He simply couldn't imagine how pathetic Nolan Locke was.
And facing Tony Stark's gaze.
Nolan in turn patted his shoulder.
His inner thoughts were extremely rich.
You feel sorry for me? Your godfather betrayed you a long time ago.
At least I'm a transmigration, at most I'm affected by some of the original owner's emotions.
Brother, you are the most miserable one.
Pitiful wretch...
Although Obadiah Stane was puzzled, he no longer had the intention of continuing to discuss cooperation.
He always felt that he had been seen through by that damned Nolan Locke.
Looking at the close appearance of Tony Stark and Obadiah Stane.
Nolan shook his head.
Some things are useless to talk about if you haven't experienced them.
Not to mention Tony Stark, even if he was only partially affected by the original owner, didn't he also trust Charles very much?
After confirming the buyer's purchase intention.
It was time for product testing.
No matter what product it is, you always have to see if it's really useful first.
A few days later.
Locke Technology's Hive Base welcomed a group of visitors.
These were buyers who intended to view Locke Technology's Military products.
Nolan greeted them warmly.
"Sorry, this place is still in its initial stages, many things haven't been built yet."
Nolan said.
The current Hive is just an empty shell.
Many areas are just preliminary concrete and rebar constructions.
Everyone didn't mind.
Walking at the forefront was Major General Haig of the Army.
He said:
"For the Military, what we are most concerned about is always the quality issue.
Because this concerns the lives of our soldiers."
Testing conventional weapons was very simple.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Nolan knew they were very satisfied.
And then, it was the crucial part.
The SAR-1 Combat Robot, and the currently imperfect T-800.
The Navy Major General asked:
"Mr. Locke, the SAR-1 Combat Robot is the product the Army is most looking forward to, its performance is enough to make us interested.
But how do you plan to test it?"
Nolan smiled and said:
"The technology of the SAR-1 Combat Robot is already very complete, as for the testing method, I have two proposals.
The first is conducted by Locke Company, and the second can be conducted by personnel sent by the Military for practical combat testing."
Hearing the latter half of the sentence.
The Navy General smiled.
"Then let's do that."
As he spoke, a group of soldiers stepped forward.
"These are the best soldiers in the Army, we need to determine how effective your SAR-1 Combat Robots are in practice.
Also, the T-800 you mentioned, if possible, we'd like to test that as well."
"Of course, no problem."
Nolan smiled very happily.
