Chapter 71 - Chapter 71 The Orderer

"Cough, cough, cough~"

From the very ordinary microphone, it was Luca's clear voice.

"I think everyone here should be clear about the purpose of inviting you all today~"

At this moment, Luca stood in front of a pile of strange data collection equipment in the middle of the weapon testing ground, looking at everyone with a relaxed expression.

Thanks to the waiters' earlier reminder, everyone who had been chatting at the 'open-air cocktail party' had already quieted down, waiting for Luca's performance.

Although many of them, not just shareholders, but even the core veterans of those companies, were not very optimistic about the project Luca spoke of.

However, since they were all 'their own people,' no one would actively jump out to cause trouble and show off their presence at such a moment.

Everyone indeed wanted to see what kind of tricks this heir of Orange Family could pull off.

"I believe everyone present probably understands the current situation of Orange Industries much better than I, the new appointee."

"This is an internal demonstration, so I won't bother with any cliché opening remarks. Now, we will directly proceed with the formal testing and introduction!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in satisfaction, many even showing encouraging smiles and applauding softly.

After all, Luca was currently only a successor, and too young, not yet having truly established his prestige.

If Luca were to talk about future visions and instill concepts to these 'old guys' under such circumstances, it would only make him a laughingstock.

Instead, this pragmatic style, inherited from Gina, won him some goodwill.

Justin Hammer, dressed in red, also applauded with a smile, but spoke to Heinrich beside him with a hint of pride.

"Now is the time for the real test. Let's see if this guy is as excellent as the person behind you says."

Heinrich's expression did not change at all upon hearing this, only a faint red light flickered imperceptibly in his left eye.

Many people present were also conversing in low voices, just like Justin, but this did not affect Luca on the stage at all.

Putting down the microphone, Luca beckoned to Wrench, who was standing nearby.

Wrench, who had been somewhat impatient, excitedly ran over with the square black briefcase in his hand, opened it, and placed it on the table.

Inside, of course, was Luca's 'self-developed' Dominator Beta 1.2 pistol.

That's right, Dominator Beta 1.2!

In fact, these past few days, Luca had not just been waiting for his subordinates to prepare this internal exhibition.

During this period, he spent a lot of his time researching with Harro on this 'knock-off Dominator,' focusing on which parts of the technology could be black-box encrypted to prevent cracking.

And which parts were more suitable for patent registration and selective disclosure.

Actually, Luca only learned these past few days that patent registration itself requires detailed disclosure of the technical solution, including core principles, implementation steps, and other information, to truly receive 'protection.'

However, this behavior is often the root cause of core technology exposure.

Therefore, some large enterprises, especially those in the military technology field, would rather risk their technology being cracked and reverse-patented.

They would choose to refuse patent registration and rely more on physical means to keep their product's core technology confidential.

Well, of course.

In this Marvel Universe, if certain geniuses truly want to crack your technology, they will not abide by any rules.

However, these true geniuses usually don't apply these cross-era technologies to the commercial sector, so there's no need to worry too much about them.

Moreover, even if everything goes smoothly from now on.

From receiving orders to factory assembly line improvements, and then to actual production and sales, it still requires a considerable amount of time.

Therefore, Luca can completely continue to further weigh and improve in terms of encryption and manufacturing costs.

End of digression.

At this moment, Luca calmly took the Dominator Beta 1.2 from the black briefcase, displaying it flat on his palm.

Of course, such an action by Luca clearly could not allow everyone present to see the weapon clearly.

Luca raised his hand, made a grabbing motion in the air above the Dominator Beta 1.2 pistol, and then tossed it forward.

The next moment, blue lights immediately flickered on several machines beside him.

Immediately following, a holographic projection, identical to the gun in Luca's hand but magnified several times, quickly formed out of thin air in front of everyone.

Holographic projection technology, even with no-delay tactile operation.

This kind of thing, even in the real World, hasn't truly been realized even after more than a decade.

However, in the Marvel Universe, this is already considered standard equipment for top scientists.

Even in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, specifically established by S.H.I.E.L.D. to train talents for HYDRA, there is a specialized course called Holographic Engineering, to facilitate those Agent trainees in the research direction to better master how to use such equipment.

Fortunately, thanks to the technical support provided by Harro, the 'big daddy,' Luca finally got to experience this set of equipment first.

And as expected, many inexperienced individuals were slightly shocked by Luca's sudden move.

However, Luca did not stop his actions because of their astonishment.

He simply continued to introduce the Dominator Beta 1.2 in his hand, speaking to himself.

"I believe many of you know that my father was dedicated to creating a revolutionary energy weapon during his lifetime. And this, is an ion energy gun forged based on his concept."

"I named it—the Orderer!"

Yes, considering that the primary target audience for this weapon was state police forces, Luca, after much deliberation, still chose to abandon the original name 'Dominator.'

Perhaps in the original work, such a name might have various metaphors for a dystopian World, but as a product, Luca obviously had to consider his customers and maintain his reputation, avoiding unnecessary implications.

As Luca briefly explained, the huge blue projection continuously changed accordingly.

At this point, many people had already realized something.

"Isn't this the weapon that was rumored online a while ago!?"

"No wonder it looked familiar at the time, so the person in that video was the Orange Family kid!"

"What video?"

The online video these people were referring to was naturally when Luca used the Dominator to blow up the dump truck.

However, at that time, the Battle of New York had just ended not long ago, and the public's attention was more on the Avengers members and aliens. Additionally, Luca had the public relations team help suppress the news, so the actual spread was not wide, and most of the videos that appeared online were blurred.

However, with the physical object as a reference now, some people who had paid attention to this kind of news recalled it.

However, Justin Hammer, in the corner, was not focused on Luca's subsequent introduction at this moment.

Instead, he looked at Heinrich beside him with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Heh heh~ The Orderer? It certainly aligns with your ideology, doesn't it?"
