After speaking, Nolan shrugged and said:
"My father had a good relationship with your father back then, but he only knew this much."
Although Nolan was certain that his father definitely didn't know about such things.
However, who was there to contradict him now that the person was dead?
Future City Project!
Tony Stark was somewhat shocked.
Natasha and Sharon Carter looked bewildered.
But they didn't pay too much attention.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, even if it were true, this information currently held little value.
At least not enough to warrant reporting.
However, the matter of Tony Stark being close to death shocked them greatly.
Nolan smiled as he looked at the two beautiful Agents.
Guessing inwardly.
Would they report this matter?
Nolan dared to say it, so he naturally didn't care.
After learning about the Future City Project, Tony Stark was incredibly excited.
He even had the urge to hug Nolan Locke tightly and kiss him.
Who would want to die if they could live?
After finishing the serious matters.
Nolan glanced at Natasha.
"Getting old."
Natasha's mouth twitched.
Was he talking about her?
Tony Stark scoffed.
"What do you know? This is the charm of maturity."
Was Natasha old?
Not at all.
On the contrary, although she was quite old in age.
Her appearance was fixed around thirty years old.
The brutal experiments in the Red Room back then had caused her body's aging to slow down dramatically.
She was in a very alluring state.
"Mature?"
Nolan scoffed.
"Only you would like an old woman whose age is unknown."
He scoffed mercilessly.
Nolan's words, even for Natasha, made it hard to maintain composure.
But Nolan showed no awareness whatsoever.
Mocking, desperately mocking.
"Look behind me."
Nolan glanced at Natasha.
Then he chuckled with a deeper meaning.
"This is the real gem."
Tony Stark was disdainful, even though he also thought the secretary behind Nolan was quite good.
"Just looking at you, you've never experienced a true gem. Have you experienced a cover girl?
How many Hollywood actresses have you dated?"
Facing Tony's words.
Nolan clicked his tongue twice.
Honestly, he really hadn't experienced that.
After arriving in this World, various dangers lurked everywhere.
Where were such good opportunities?
Being commented on by two men, and even discussed like a commodity.
Natasha and Sharon Carter's anger levels were close to the critical point.
However, Nolan handled it well.
The next second, he stopped mentioning the topic.
Instead, he started discussing professional issues in physics and mechanical dynamics with Tony Stark.
Until dusk began to fall.
Only then did Nolan leave with Sharon Carter.
Sharon Carter maintained a cold face the entire time.
But Nolan closed his eyes and rested in the car.
Things had been a bit too much recently.
Compared to teasing Sharon Carter, he preferred to get some good rest.
The Military's bidding conference...
What surprises would it hold?
Sharon Carter drove, grinding her teeth.
She had the urge to kill Nolan.
She had even made a decision.
That night, she would apply to Director Fury to be replaced.
She didn't want to stay here for another day.
Unfortunately, her idea was destined not to succeed.
As for Tony Stark, after watching Nolan leave, he looked at Natasha deeply several times.
Everyone had underestimated his intelligence.
Except Nolan.
The seemingly useless information from the two of them was enough for him to have many suspicions.
Whether it was Natasha or the secretary behind Nolan.
Their identities seemed extraordinary.
Who exactly had such great capability?
"Boss."
Natasha's voice sounded.
Tony Stark's slightly somber face instantly changed.
He walked towards Natasha with a smile in his eyes.
Without a trace, he put his arm around Natasha's waist.
"Hmm, has anyone ever told you that you smell very good?"
It was as if he had never discovered anything unusual.
He was Tony Stark.
A playboy was his standard.
With a beautiful woman in front of him, would he miss the opportunity?
In the blink of an eye.
It was the day of the Military's bidding conference.
Similar bidding conferences occurred several times each year.
The Military Technology Expo was a platform for display.
But this didn't mean that the Military only conducted procurement at that time.
Aside from direct purchases like those by General Ross.
Bidding was the most common method.
Because this way, lower bids could be obtained.
In addition, the Military had many research projects.
Which they could not undertake on their own.
Whether it was technology, personnel, or funding.
So they often allocated parts of these research projects to Military enterprises for joint research.
On that day, Nolan still brought his personal secretary.
It must be said that this new secretary brought him a lot of attention.
In addition, there was Simon Phillip, the president of Locke Technology.
Just as they arrived at the venue.
They encountered someone head-on.
"Dr. Locke!" The person was full of surprise.
"Hmm?
Dr. Hammer."
Nolan nodded, in response, not very enthusiastic about Justin Hammer's greeting.
But Justin Hammer appeared very enthusiastic.
"Dr. Locke.
I heard that Locke Technology's SAR-1 Combat Robot has superior performance and is selling very well?"
Nolan glanced at him and said:
"It can't compare to Hammer Industries' Feier combat robots.
SAR-1 was personally developed by me, and the cost has been reduced to the limit.
It's hard to imagine how the Feier combat robots can be sold for 600,000 after calculating the cost.
Impressive, impressive."
Facing Nolan's forced smile, even slightly mocking voice.
Justin Hammer didn't care at all.
He even directly took it as a compliment to him.
"We at Hammer Industries are indeed quite confident in this area.
Some time ago, S.H.I.E.L.D. purchased a batch of Feier combat robots from us, did you know?
I heard they seemed to have considered SAR-1?"
Nolan heard this and smiled:
"Indeed, but unfortunately, S.H.I.E.L.D., limited by funding issues, chose the cheaper one."
There was hostility in their words.
Facing Nolan's verbal sparring, Justin Hammer showed no weakness.
That smug expression, even if Tony Stark came, he would retreat three paces.
After talking for a few minutes, Justin Hammer walked towards the bidding hall with a swaggering gait.
Nolan pouted.
Okay, he was indeed a little annoyed.
Originally, he didn't care much, but Justin Hammer's behavior made him uncomfortable.
"Let's go too.
What a ridiculous clown."
Sharon Carter glanced at him and said:
"I thought, Boss, you were jealous."
"Jealous?
Heh, just a bit annoyed."
Was a mere Justin Hammer worth his jealousy?
Just kidding!
The bidding conference began.
Just as Nolan had expected.
This bidding conference was basically for Military weapon orders.
Locke Technology had no research on ordinary Military equipment.
So he wasn't interested in these.
However, when the bidding for high-tech equipment began.
Nolan finally started to get interested.
These were their targets.
Making money, nothing to be ashamed of!
Round after round of bidding passed.
Locke Technology also secured some orders.
But the quantity wasn't large.
Because this bidding did not include combat robots or exoskeleton combat equipment.
Finally, the ordinary bidding ended.
Nolan sat up straight.
The main event was here.
Next were the various research projects that the Military intended to open up.
Nolan listened to them one by one.
There was nothing that interested him.
Simon Phillip also remained silent.
Until near the end.
"Next, we are bidding on a special technology research project from World War II.
The Super Soldier Serum!"
Nolan's pupils contracted slightly.
Undoubtedly, this was the interesting thing General Ross had mentioned!
Yes, he was indeed very interested.
The Super Soldier was currently the most complete method of human modification known.
I want this bid!
