After the Osborn Company's demonstration, everyone felt the trip was worthwhile.
Even the highly anticipated R8 of Tony didn't seem as impressive as witnessing the Osborn Company's chairman debut as a hero.
This was worth it!
The media, here to prepare for tomorrow's news, had gone wild.
They pulled out their phones and frantically called their companies.
Even if they were off work, they were being forced to come back and work overtime.
Osborn Company's chairman, Harry Osborn, was planning to follow in Tony Stark's footsteps and debut as a superhero – a sensational, earth-shattering news story.
The impact was far greater than Tony's new armor.
"Did you get it all on film?"
Anton turned to look at Phil.
"Got it!"
Phil nodded excitedly. "I'll be working late tonight. It'll be on the front page tomorrow."
"Don't rush."
Anton smiled. "Although this news is sensational, Osborn Company might not be on the front page tomorrow."
"What do you mean?"
Because of the symbiote situation, Eddie was arguing with Venom.
Although Venom had no sympathy for its own kind, it did have empathy.
If humans had the ability to turn symbiotes into tools, wouldn't it, as a symbiote, be in great danger?
Eddie repeatedly promised he wouldn't do that to it, which temporarily soothed Venom.
Then, hearing Anton's meaningful words, his heart skipped a beat, and he had an ominous premonition.
"Is something going to happen today?"
Eddie stared at his boss and swallowed.
Evidently, he had great faith in Anton's foresight.
You know, since getting to know Anton, every single thing Anton had predicted had eventually come true.
"Just wait and see. After the Osborn Company, it's Hammer Industries' turn… Justin's about to make his move!"
Anton replied calmly without explaining.
Eddie turned his head and saw the chairman of Hammer Industries walking onto the largest exhibition stage at Stark Industrial Park.
"Hello everyone, I am Justin Hammer."
Justin continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you think the Osborns will be the headline tomorrow, you are wrong, very wrong."
Huh?
Eddie and Phil turned their heads together and looked at Anton again.
It wasn't that they appreciated Justin Hammer's confidence, but they were surprised by Anton's accurate prediction.
Anton was right again!
Just from Justin Hammer's words, they knew that they might witness news as shocking as, or even more shocking than, Harry Osborn's recent performance.
"Today, I will introduce the new face of the U.S. military…"
On the stage, Justin's confident voice continued.
"Hammer Iron Soldiers."
He turned and pointed, and the mechanisms previously designed for the exhibition were revealed to everyone.
With the platform slowly rising, row after row of robots, similar to Iron Man, stood there.
Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps!
All four branches of the military were present.
"Holy cow!"
Eddie and the others watched Justin Hammer on stage, utterly smug, a chrysanthemum-like smile plastered on his face. They finally understood where this guy's confidence came from.
There was only one Iron Man!
However, Hammer had a whole twenty-plus Iron Soldiers on stage.
Even if their combat effectiveness was different, and significantly inferior, facing twenty of them at once would give even Iron Man a headache, wouldn't it?
It was easy to imagine that if the US military really decided to purchase Hammer's Iron Soldiers, then in future warfare, these fearless, remotely controlled Iron Soldiers made of sheet metal would become the most terrifying weapons in the world.
Some military personnel in the audience narrowed their eyes.
He was the military big shot who had been warmly invited by Justin.
Although he had been prepared for the technological demonstration of Hammer Industries, Hammer's actual presentation of the Iron Soldiers still greatly surprised him, and a thought flashed through his mind.
For the general public, the technology displayed by Hammer Company was perhaps similar to the news from Osborn Company, or even slightly inferior.
But for the military, the technology of Hammer Company was more practical.
If they could really build an army of Iron Soldiers, the military would be invincible.
"Hammer Industries actually solved the energy problem for the Iron Soldiers."
Eddie and Phil exchanged glances, stunned.
It wasn't just them; everyone knew where the problem lay.
Current technology could manufacture Iron Soldiers, but it couldn't solve the energy problem for long-term combat.
And Tony Stark, the one who controlled the Arc Reactor technology, was clinging to it tightly, unwilling to release it.
Now, Hammer Industries had cracked the technology.
No wonder Justin Hammer was so smug!
Harry's expression darkened.
He was prepared for Hammer Industries' products to be astonishing, but he hadn't expected them to actually develop Iron Soldiers.
He could imagine that this would probably be Hammer Industries' most successful imitation.
It could directly throw Tony Stark, the real Iron Man, far, far away.
Unless Tony chose to bring Stark Industries back into the arms industry and seize the U.S. military's weapon orders from Hammer Industries, Hammer Industries would definitely be triumphant for a long time.
But judging by Tony Stark's personality and his current changes, this playboy who had turned over a new leaf wouldn't touch the arms industry again, even if it were highly profitable.
Fortunately, he had already entered the game as a superhero to boost the stock price!
This way, at least he could ensure that Osborn Company wouldn't be left behind by Hammer Industries.
Not far away.
Tony sat in the specially arranged audience seats, his expression unchanged.
The appearance of the Iron Soldiers surprised him, but it didn't make him lose control of his emotions.
To be honest, even if Hammer Industries cracked the Arc Reactor technology and solved the energy problem for the Iron Soldiers, he still didn't take the Osborn Company seriously.
Ever since he insisted that Stark Industries withdraw from the arms industry, he had been prepared to face this scene.
Although the Arc Reactor technology was advanced, it wasn't a technology that was absolutely uncrackable.
Tony didn't underestimate the smart people in this world, and similarly, he also didn't underestimate his own potential and intelligence.
On stage.
Justin looked at Tony and Harry under the stage with pride, opened his arms, and then continued his impassioned speech.
"This is revolutionary technology! Hammer Industries will change the technological landscape of the world!"
As Justin Hammer spoke, he was completely oblivious to the Hammer Iron Soldiers behind him, which had quietly rotated their cannons.
Most of the audience also overlooked this detail.
A few people noticed this scene, but didn't take it to heart, assuming it was just part of the performance program Justin Hammer had set up.
Only Tony and Harry realized something was wrong, their expressions changing slightly.
This included Anton, Eddie, and Phil, who were not far away.
Especially Eddie and Phil.
They widened their eyes, suddenly realizing that the bigger news Anton had mentioned might not be the Hammer Iron Soldiers displayed by Hammer Industries.
This invention, which Justin Hammer claimed was revolutionary and would change the world's war landscape, was not the point at all.
It's the Iron Soldiers' riot!
