I Am Gwen's Spider-Man Mentor

The endless waves of the North Atlantic still hit the breakwater fiercely and tenaciously, breaking into pieces under the bleak sea breeze. The waves splashed on the professor's windbreaker.

Amid the roar, screams, and ruptures of heaven and earth, the tensions in the cordial and friendly conversations between the CEO and the gangster philanthropist are as ethereal as the mayflies between heaven and earth.

Professor Xu is hiding himself in the darkness of the lightning gap. Even if he is as calm as he is, being tempted by Jin Bin like this will inevitably set off a storm in his heart.

"I have no interest in ruling the world." Raymond raised his eyebrows to cover up the strangeness in his expression, and gave a rather conceited answer: "There are too many idiots in the world, and ruling them is meaningless."

The raindrops began to fall. The North Atlantic always brought cold currents, so this rain was actually chilling enough. Jin Bin's men came forward and opened a large black umbrella over the two people's heads.

"interesting."

The two seemed completely unaffected by the sudden icy rain. When Raymond heard this, he couldn't see the expression on Kingpin's face clearly. He only heard the gang leader's comment: "Slavery of idiots can't bring you pleasure, so do you plan to rule smart people, my Professor Xu?" ?”

"Smart people don't need to rule." Raymond replied expressionlessly, "They just need to be on guard."

"I understand what you mean, Professor Xu."

As the night slowly fell, the lights of New York City gradually flickered on, and the faint light outlined Kingpin's clasped hands next to Raymond——

"For you, power is a talisman."

Based on what Professor Xu did, it was not difficult for Jin to guess - unlike himself, this young Asian man's purpose in seizing power was just to protect himself?

He is now the rotating CEO of Stark Industries, and can be considered an upper class member in the entire United States of America... And he is actually afraid? What is he afraid of?

Kingpin would never think that the professor who played Obadiah Stane until he lost everything was a coward. On the contrary, at the core, this professor was probably as ruthless as himself.

So, what is he afraid of?

Raymond interrupted Kingpin's guessing thoughts as if he didn't care. He said calmly: "Ross's plan will not succeed, and it may even make him lose his name in front of Washington, but with the deep foundation of Ross, , he will not be affected in any way..."

After saying that, the professor cast his scorching gaze at the gangster next to him - Jin Bin. He met Raymond's gaze and only saw a look in those black pupils that made Jin Bin's hair stand on end. The meaning seems to say silently:

Ross will be fine waiting for the day the plan fails, but what about you?

Even leaving aside the general's possible retaliation, Kingpin was tired of white-glove service to Ross.

Middlemen, middlemen, middlemen, from top to bottom in the United States, they are nothing more than middlemen subcontracting layer by layer. Even as a senior general of the US military, Thaddeus Ross is actually just subcontracting from higher powers. Middlemen, this is called bureaucracy.

Raymond Xu and Kingpin also have one thing in common - they are both people who hate middlemen.

Then Jin Bin looked straight at Professor Xu with his eyes lowered. He chuckled and looked to the other side: "Professor Xu, what good will getting rid of Ross do to you?"

"The federal finances are very tight, and the White House is very dissatisfied with the military's spending. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence told me privately that if there is a way to control the expansion of the military-industrial complex and control the military's spending, then the President will be happy to help me." It started with Stark Industries cutting off its main business lines." Raymond started talking to Kingpin.

Conspiracy with poisonous snakes and tigers like Kingpin, and the tricks of concealing intelligence and the tricks one thinks are clever are the quickest ways to die. His judgment on all things will not be changed just by his own words.

"There is one more question that I need to confirm." Jin Bing asked his question without changing his face: "For you, what is the difference between friends and enemies?"

Kingpin had conspired with Obadiah to usurp the power of Stark Industries, and Professor Xu was standing opposite them at that time - Washington advocated "win before counterattack", although in the end he used flexible tactics in that game Shenfa chose the correct position.

But he still needs to be sure - Raymond Xu is not a person who takes revenge, at least not until the end of this business.

"I think the difference is that Kingpin and I are enemies." Raymond turned around and put his left hand on Kingpin's shoulder. The professor smiled, looking very casual, "But Wilson Fisk and I are friends."

When Jin Bin heard this reply, he finally laughed: "Professor Xu is such a wonderful person."

Their hands were tightly clasped together again.

----Dividing line----

After seeing Jin Bin off, the professor breathed a sigh of relief.

Kingpin was not familiar with himself, and all he knew was the paper information that could be checked, and at most Gwen Stacy's dual identity - so he could not help but test himself.

The so-called "What is the difference between friends and enemies" is nothing more than asking whether Kingpin once stood on his hostile side and was also Gwen's mortal enemy. Should he regard him as an enemy or a friend.

The answer to this question is whether it is an enemy or a friend. Jin will not allow enemies to exist, nor will he believe in so-called friendship. It is more likely that he will be more suspicious of him because of this unfounded "friendship" - you know, Jin Bin can use Using Gwen's true identity to force him to have a baby, this is not a pleasant acquaintance!

Therefore, Raymond's answer was - we are enmity over official matters and it will not affect our cooperation for personal gain.

There are no friends in the political arena, but even political opponents can form allies in the changing times. This is also Raymond Xu's conclusion on his cooperative relationship with Jin Bin, and it is also his commitment to his partners.

He took out a lighter from his pocket, which was given to him by Jin Bin before he left. He said that "cigars can relax people's spirits" - this was also a test. Professor Xu, who "doesn't smoke", can't be counted as a lighter. Go to your own people.

The professor chuckled, closed the lid of the lighter with a "click-click-" sound, and looked up at the night sky. There were almost no stars visible at night in New York, but he was still able to judge the approximate locations of the brightest stars through the faint starlight behind the clouds.

This is exactly the plan he is preparing now.

There are still four years to go until 2012, when the Chitauri will invade New York, and then Director Nick Fury's clowns will make their debut, relying on classic American heroism to save the world and at the same time declare the era of superheroes.

It is said that politicians in the superhero era are worthless, but Professor Xu does not think so - Nick Fury, as a cat-loving blind man, introduced aliens but could not control them, and his subordinates were infiltrated into sieves A rookie who is still unaware can still rely on superheroes to rise.

So what can he do if he stands on the edge of the storm?

Professor Xu took out a toy from his pocket. It was a model of a rocket. The fairing on the upper end of the rocket was open. It was similar to the structure of the intercontinental missile multi-target re-entry vehicle (MIRV). There were exquisite small satellites. Neatly arranged among them.

He has convinced Tony Stark that after the Ark reactor is mass-produced, it will be mainly invested in three projects:

"Family Reunion Plan" - Tony will create multiple suits of armor to deal with different situations and carry different equipment, in order to fulfill his superhero dream.

"Building Building Plan" - Tony will invest in Stark Tower projects around the world. The initial Stark Towers will be powered by Ark reactors, but these high-rise buildings will eventually become clean energy bases around the world.

By the way, the names of the first two plans were all given by that bastard Tony Stark. Even if Professor Xu expressed his opposition, they were ultimately invalid.

And the "Starlink Project" proposed by Professor Xu.

This "Starlink" is very similar to the "Starlink" of the "Silicon Valley Iron Man" in terms of initial investment. Professor Xu will cooperate with NASA to lead a package including recyclable high-thrust rockets and micro-satellites. project.

But unlike the "Silicon Valley Iron Man" who may be more brain-twitching than Tony Stark, Raymond's satellite is not equipped with a communication antenna, but Stark's Ark reactor.

Professor Xu told Tony that he would design a space-to-ground energy supply network based on micro-satellites with the Ark reactor as the core energy source, combined with microwave power transmission technology, to realize the vision of "endless energy" in the atmosphere below the Karman line.

Tony Stark greatly appreciated this idea. As long as microwave power transmission can be successful, then airplanes will no longer need to carry fuel. They will only need to use electric motors that can accept microwave power transmission to drive turbines, and they can fly forever.

Then the fool happily continued to build the industrial production line of the reactor.

But Raymond's purpose is of course more than that. The Ark Reactor almost means that the Kardashov Index of human civilization has jumped to 1.0. It would be a waste of resources to be used by Tony Stark as a battle armor energy source and building generator. Even if we build a heaven and earth energy supply network, it is only one of its uses.

The professor waved his hand, and the drone with its muzzle raised flew over in the distance - this little guy's behavior pattern was designed by Nathan.

Last week, the plan he proposed to IARPA was officially launched. He will use Stark Industries as a platform and the Army's canceled "Netfire" project as a basis to solve the technical obstacles of swarm drones and eventually produce a Small drones with simple motion detection and autonomous decision-making capabilities.

This kind of drone is different from the "Global Hawk" and "Predator" of this era, and is closer to the development direction of drones in more than ten years. Professor Xu proposed to Stephanie the prospect of "everyone has a cruise missile" He made a report and predicted that this new "smart war" will save more than 80% of military expenditures.

There are four words that can make bureaucrats adopt proposals: quick, simple, fashionable and cheap - so Professor Xu was approved.

The final platform for the "swarm" program that Nathaniel Wade is currently writing is not these small drones with only electric propellers -

Professor Xu watched the drone hovering in front of him, and just smiled softly, and continued to raise his head, looking up at the non-existent stars in New York.
