A mechanical master of a certain manga

Chapter 340 The popularity of Pokemon (2-in-1 chapter)

"Hello, welcome to Trish. Today we won't talk about the large-scale renovation of Hell's Kitchen. After all, I believe the residents have said enough about the results of this matter. Today we will talk about the recent trend that has swept the entire world. A mechanical pet in New York. This cute little guy is produced by the Spark Source Company. It only appeared once at the Stark Industries Technology Expo, and it has already made countless people fall in love with it."

"Tracy Says" is a radio program with a high listening rate. Host Tracy always comments on current affairs from an unbiased standpoint. It can be regarded as one of the rare programs in the United States that does not rely on topics such as women's rights and race to attract listeners. .

Some time ago, when Huozhengyuan Company withdrew from the mechanical pet product, someone recommended advertising on this program. Because this program has a very wide audience, it can easily trigger large-scale discussions.

It's just that the host didn't pay attention to the zeros on the advertising fees and insisted on seeing this product for himself. In this capitalist country, it is indeed rare to find people who adhere to their own principles so much.

Then, Violet came to the door in person with several mechanical pets and had an in-depth exchange with host Trish. As a result, Trish has three more furry, cute and bleeding mechanical pets in her home.

Probably not many women can accept such a cute pet that is super clingy and well-behaved.

However, the popularity of this kind of mechanical pets still has to start at the Stark Industries Technology Expo. As early as World War II, Stark Industries was already a leading high-tech enterprise in the United States.

Tony's father, Howard, held a science and technology expo, which attracted the attention of the world and attracted countless investments for Stark Industries.

Now that Tony's new energy technology has matured, he plans to hold it again. There are not only products belonging to Stark Industries, but also product displays from major well-known companies in the world. Norman Osborn's Green Goblin armor and Green Goblin skateboard brought him a lot of investment.

As for Huozhengyuan Company, their main product is a smart robot for home use that can easily complete all household tasks for you. This kind of robot has attracted the favor of many investors because it has been given free trial to disabled people before.

As for the popularity of mechanical pets, it was completely an accident.

The design comes from Pokemon, but it is used as a recreational toy for children, and at the same time, it collects energy matrix usage data for Belcher.

Originally, Rorschach had no intention of putting this product on display, but Violet brought Pikachu with her to the exhibition.

This British beauty with a completely two-dimensional style will naturally attract the attention of many people when she appears in such a rigid technology exhibition, and the cute and bleeding yellow rabbit next to her will naturally attract the attention of countless people.

At first, everyone just regarded it as a decoration, like a prop brought by a cosy girl. Until one of the rather wretched guys approached Violet while licking his face and reached out to pull the girl, the girl slapped him without hesitation.

Justin Hammer didn't expect that his long-term money offensive would falter here.

In this expo, Justin Hammer was completely outperformed by Stark and Osborne because his products were not good. The front of the Hammer Company's exhibition hall can be described as a dull place, not even as popular as the Fire Source Company's exhibition hall.

With this depressed mood, Justin Hammer was left with Lie Yan who could restore his self-confidence a little.

I originally thought she was a girl who came to the expo to play coy. This kind of woman can easily be tricked into sleeping with her as long as she is given money.

Who knows, this time I met someone who doesn't love money.

The slap was so loud that Justin Hammer's face swelled up in full view of everyone.

In shame and anger, Justin Hammer shouted loudly: "Quickly, arrest this woman. If she dares to hit me, I will definitely let her go to jail for more than ten years."

Naturally, the person shouting was not the police, but Justin Hammer’s own bodyguard.

A dozen burly men surrounded Violet, and at the same time blocked the onlookers from thinking of themselves as heroes. After all, these are ordinary people here, not the kind of superheroes who can single-handedly fight off a group of aliens.

I thought that a dozen big men would be able to catch a girl easily, but I didn't expect that there were screams one after another. Justin Hammer's security guards were sent flying out of the encirclement one by one.

After a while, half of these strictly trained security guards fell.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the cute creature next to Violet was making a low growling sound. The hair on the originally sprouting little guy stood on end, like a cat guarding its cubs.

Those security guards just now were pushed out by Pikachu's collision skills again and again. It wasn't until half of the encirclement was missing that everyone could see clearly what was going on inside.

The next situation is very simple. How can ordinary people be the opponents of Huozhengyuan precision technology products. Violet didn't even let Pikachu use the electric shock ability, but the simple brute force was enough to knock down all these bodyguards.

Surprises and cheers rang out, and applause was given to this little baby who protects the Lord.

No one paid attention to Justin Hanmo and ran away in despair. Everyone gathered around Violet and asked questions, wanting to know what kind of pet this was. After learning that this was a mechanical pet produced by Fire Source Company, everyone couldn't wait to get one.

They had noticed Bikaji's well-behaved behavior before, but now they discovered that he still had the ability to protect his master, which was definitely better than having a dozen bodyguards around him.

This incident was also recorded by a reporter covering a technology exhibition. When the video news was posted online, Pikachu instantly became an Internet celebrity.

A mechanical pet that is well-behaved and protective of its owner. It has an extremely cute appearance and an IQ comparable to that of seven or eight children. There is no need to eat, drink, or even recharge. It will definitely not make your home a mess like Erha, and there is no need to worry about what diseases they will contract.

With so many benefits, it makes the perfect pet.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Rorschach simply transformed the Fire Source Company's exhibition hall into a Pokemon fighting arena.

The children who had adopted mechanical pets early appeared on the stage in high spirits. They brought their mechanical pets to show a different visual enjoyment to all the audience.

Only then did the audience realize that this thing was not just a pet, but also had such cool and powerful fighting abilities. Although the terrifying skill effect scared many people, more people were crazy about buying this mechanical pet.

If it were China, everyone might have more concerns about security, but this is a country that does not prohibit guns. Shootings occur frequently, and people in this country attach great importance to the guarantee of their own force.

The video of Pikachu protecting his master was played repeatedly, making countless people forget about the possible threats and only remember that this pet can protect themselves.

Seeing that the time was right, Rorschach simply tried to sell the first batch of mechanical pets. Within one day of being put on the shelves, 500 mechanical pets with a unit price of more than one million US dollars were sold out. Among them, the same model as Pikachu is the most popular, and there has even been a special second-hand speculation website.

"One million pet toys are sold out so quickly. This country really has a lot of money and people." Rorschach said with emotion.

"For the rich second generation, a mere one million is not as good as the price of a luxury car. Master, this price is set too low." Sarah complained a little.

"What, you lost money?" Rorschach asked.

"That's not true. The production cost is not high, but the fire source technology is a monopoly, so we can definitely set a higher price." Sarah said.

Why are the prices of high-tech products so high? They are more than ten times higher than the production costs. This is because the largest research and development costs are here. This part of the expenditure needs to be repaid by product sales. This is also a characteristic of monopolistic products.

If you don’t make money, who will create a monopoly?

However, R&D costs are almost negligible for Rorschach. The most important scientific researchers, Rorschach, are picked up for free and do not need to be paid. As for the experimental materials, the most precious ones are the blood of mutants and aliens, which Rorschach also picked up for free.

The cost of the remaining mechanical design and manufacturing is even less worth mentioning. Rorschach has the most powerful mechanical design and production capabilities in the world. Others need to spend countless billions of dollars to build a precision-level production line, but Sarah can achieve mass production in less than a day as long as she has the design drawings.

Therefore, Huozhengyuan Company’s products may seem to be of high quality and high-end technology, but in fact, you will make a lot of money if you sell one of them. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Rorschach to sell the same type of products to China at a 30% discount. Occasionally, he could support the domestic market, but he was not a fool if he kept buying and selling at a loss.

It's just that no one in the world knows this. Europe and the United States feel that although Rorschach's products are a bit expensive, they are still worth the money; while China feels that Rorschach sells them at a loss, which is a typical example of caring about the motherland.

"Master, these mechanical pets seem to blend in with the crowd more easily than robots." Sarah said to Rorschach.

"This is normal, the so-called uncanny valley effect. Our intelligent robots are too human-like, so it is a bit difficult to be accepted by others. They will always think about one question, whether they will be replaced by such robots, and machines Pets don’t have this problem. We made a mistake in the past, and we should vigorously sell this kind of non-humanoid product,” Luo Xia said.

Rorschach also didn't expect that what was just a toy created by Violet's whim at the beginning would actually make the Fire Source Company's plan to hide troops among the people take a big step forward. Speaking of which, the combat effectiveness of this kind of mechanical pet is not much worse than that of humanoid robots. The only disadvantage is that it cannot be equipped with human weapons.

You can't let Pikachu grab an AK and shoot it. This little guy doesn't have such long fingers at all.

"Adequately adjust the power effects of mechanical pets, and I will make elf trainers a fashionable profession. Let Violet arrange for those children to do tours. I will build elf gyms across the United States. All trainers are welcome to challenge . Of course, the super powers of these Pokemon can only be used in designated venues. I don’t want to see anyone controlling these little guys to rob." Rorschach said quite boldly.

"Don't worry, Master. Belcher has made relevant settings. Normally, these mechanical pets will only enter a defensive counterattack state when their owners are threatened, and they guarantee that no lives will be lost," Sarah said. Rorschach assured.

This setting has actually been done from the beginning.

This pet must not be allowed to actively injure or kill people. Otherwise, as long as someone seizes this to make a fuss, it will easily create a sense of distrust.

The setting of the pet elf is based on self-defense from the beginning. Even if it is ordered by its master, it will never attack others.

Unless someone can be a genius and crack the program of the fire source intelligence sequence and rewrite the entire Pokemon system. But if there is such a person, Rorschach will know about it immediately.

No connection in this world is as close as the one between the creator of the Allspark and these inferior creations.

As long as Rorschach is willing, he can even directly communicate with those millions of mechanical beetles.

"By the way, I will go to Asgard as soon as possible to see if I can get the eternal fire back. You should seize the time to study nuclear fusion technology. For the lack of fuel, let Maximus find a way. I remember the moon There is no shortage of this precious material in the world." Luo Xia continued to give instructions.

Maximus is the younger brother of Black Bolt. The last exchange on the island turned this alien royal who was no different from a mortal into an undercover agent of Rorschach.

Rorschach is willing to support him in his rebellion against Black Bolt, but Maximus also has to work for Rorschach. There are a large amount of nuclear fusion raw materials on the moon. This is a precious product that is very difficult to synthesize on the earth and is a hundred times more expensive than diamonds.

Now all we have to do is wait for Dr. Octavius, who was hired from Osborn Enterprises, to start building a laboratory, and research on stable nuclear fusion can begin.

This Doctor Octopus, who has not yet turned black, is currently relatively unnoticed by Osborn. After all, the subject of stable nuclear fusion has been studied countless times. The most critical aspect of materials is not up to par. It seems that there is no alloy that can withstand the high temperatures generated by nuclear fusion.

Even vibrate gold and Adamantium alloy are not good, they will slowly dissolve under the high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees. But there is something that can replace specific materials and withstand that terrifying high temperature.

That is invisible force fields, magnetism, telekinesis, and various invisible positions that can establish structures that are not affected by high temperatures and control nuclear fusion in an invisible container.

And for the research and development of this invisible position, who in this world can compare with the talented mutants and aliens? And who can turn this "human power" into the power of a machine?

Only Rorschach

The technology of stable nuclear fusion seemed to be tailor-made for Rorschach from the beginning. And while Rorschach was listening to the radio commercial and discussing the details of the work with Sarah, in a corner of Hell's Kitchen, a thin, long-haired woman was raising her camera to take a picture of the weird scene.

A gray-blue giant appeared from a sudden crack.

But this figure only appeared for a few seconds and quickly disappeared.

"What the hell is this?" The woman looked at the picture captured by the camera in confusion. If the gray-blue giant inside was not clearly visible, she would have thought she was dazzled.

"Hmph, it happens to be sold at a good price."

After saying this, the woman used the railing to flip outwards, and easily jumped silently from the seventh floor balcony to the ground. Such a skill is not something ordinary people can do.

New York will never lack extraordinary people like her.
