Chapter 79: Locking the Target

Since it is mass production, it is naturally impossible for Hammer's armor to use all precious gold and titanium alloys as raw materials like Tony.

The metals used to make some common alloys are all available in the warehouse of Hammer Industries.

But manufacturing a micro-ark reactor requires a large amount of palladium. Only 0.2 grams of the precious metal is used in a missile. He does not have a large inventory.

What's more, although Ivan Vanko couldn't create new elements, in order to catch up with Tony Stark's reactor level as much as possible, he still adjusted the speed like in the movie.

The Ark Reactor was upgraded, requiring more palladium.

But the inventory at Hammer Industries is only enough to meet this year's weapons orders for the Department of Defense.

As a result, Hammer began to purchase large amounts of palladium in the market as a small company under his private name.

Although Hammer had been careful to purchase in batches through different companies under his name, Jarvis, who had been monitoring the market, discovered it immediately.

Soon, the bosses behind these small companies were revealed.

Then regarding Hammer Industries' purchases of palladium in the past five years, they have received weapons orders.

As well as the palladium element needed for the orders that have been signed this year, as well as the possible order amount and palladium element required by the Ministry of Defense next year.

A complete set of data was listed in front of Tony.

"Justin Hammer, is it really you?"

Tony once again opened the data that Jarvis sent to his phone yesterday and muttered, no matter how hard it looked, Justin Hammer didn't look like he had such courage.

"Hey! Fish finder, what do you think?"

Qin Xiao was standing on the floor-to-ceiling glass looking at the fish under the river.

Originally, the base in New York was planned to be placed on a farm in the suburbs. Qin Xiao donated one billion US dollars to the Avengers Project.

With the idea that he would be the boss by joining the group with his own capital, he tortured Nick Fury to get his secret base under the river.

In his words, this is what a secret organization base with a billion dollars should look like.

Yes, it was style. For this style, he often imitated Nick Fury and stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking motionless at the fish outside.

Therefore, Tony gave him the nickname of a fish finder.

"What do I think? I'm not Yuan Fang. Let's wait until Natasha comes back. She went to Hammer Industries for an interview today."

Qin Xiao rubbed his eyes, returned to the table and sat down.

"Who is Yuan Fang?"

Tony pulled out a bag of potato chips from somewhere and asked while eating.

"The Chinese version of Watson has solved many big cases with the Chinese Sherlock Holmes. Speaking of Sherlock Holmes, Tony, I remembered that I had seen a movie. The guy who played the protagonist Sherlock Holmes in "Detective Morlocks" is similar to you. Very similar. Do you have any cousins ​​who are actors in Hollywood?"

Speaking of Sherlock Holmes, Qin Xiao looked at Tony's face and suddenly said something malicious.

"No!"

Tony thought about it seriously and said.

"You really need to change your taste in movies. Movies like this that I haven't heard of must be a big mess!"

"That's right! Especially the male lead, he is like a fool. I have never seen a worse actor!"

Qin Xiao said with a strange smile.

Tony subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

In the end, he could only say to Qin Xiao angrily.

"You should go see a doctor. Don't face a group of people all day long. You'll have brain problems!"

Qin Xiao was about to speak back.

The door to the base was opened.

Natasha strode in wearing a red dress.

Qin Xiao quickly stepped forward and pulled out a chair for Black Widow to sit down.

He also thoughtfully poured a glass of water.

After hanging out with Daisy in Monaco for a few days, he felt an inexplicable feeling of guilt when he saw the Black Widow.

"Look, look, God, how can there be such a beautiful woman? I bet a dollar that that bastard Justin Hammer wants to keep her as his personal secretary!"

Black Widow is an agent, especially after what happened in Monaco.

Although I didn't know that Qin Xiao was traveling rapidly on the plane, I definitely knew that he was following a woman in Monaco.

But Black Widow did not delve into this matter. She just rolled her eyes at Qin Xiao, sat down and took a sip of water.

"Actually, I didn't see Hammer, but I still found a lot of things after spending the whole morning in their company today. Tony, do you have the floor plan of the Hammer Building on your computer?"

Tony quickly tapped the keyboard a few times to turn the screen around.

"here!"

Black Widow pointed to several locations on the floor plan.

"These underground parts were originally used as the research base for this armor development project with the military. Hammer Industries has invested a large number of scientists and resources here."

"But a few days ago, he suddenly and temporarily dismissed all personnel here. All scientific researchers, including security guards, were evacuated. This place became a restricted area for Hammer Industries."

"I used two cups of good coffee to sneak into the building's surveillance room, and found that all the surveillance videos of all the entrances and exits of the underground research institute, the elevators, and even the parking lot that afternoon had been deleted!"

"Based on the list of palladium purchasing companies discovered by Jarvis, I am sure that he is making the Ark Reactor, or that Ivan Vanke is in the Hammer Building. Unfortunately, if you want to go there now, you must be special. Pass, no one knows who has that authority except Justin Hammer."

Black Widow told all of today's gains in one breath, almost making a final decision. Ivan Vanko is in the Hammer Building.

"Then what are you waiting for now? You are the most powerful intelligence agency in the world, with contacts, agents, combat teams, special forces, etc., conduct a surprise inspection there immediately, and everyone will be caught!"

Tony said, spreading his hands.

Black Widow rolled her eyes helplessly.

"That is the experimental base for military cooperation projects. You should understand what this means better than anyone else? Otherwise, how about you convince more than two-thirds of the members of the Senate?"

"What should I do? How about I put on my armor and rush in directly?"

Anyway, it's already locked, so why bother with so much detail? As long as I'm sure Ivan Vanke is here, it'll be easy!

"It's not impossible!"

Black Widow is not a pedantic person, but after speaking, she still rejected the plan.

"But we have some smarter ways that can achieve the same effect!"

"any solution?"

Qin Xiao and Tony asked in unison.

"Then the two superheroes need to be humble and perform a large-scale action scene!"

Black Widow said with a smile.
