True Marvel World Chapter 8: The Change of Norman Osborn
New York, Osborne Industries.
On this day, the inspection team of the Ministry of Defense jointly came to Osborne Industries to inspect the progress of the human enhancement agents developed by Osborne Industries for them.
The important person headed by the inspection team was General Suo. He seemed to turn a blind eye to Norman Osborn's warm greeting, and indifferently proposed to go directly to the research room to check the progress and condition of the human body strengthening agent.
The team sent by the Ministry of National Defense swarmed into the research room under the leadership of General Suo, and Norman followed closely. He vaguely realized that the situation of the inspection team seemed to be wrong, but it was too late to think about it for a while.
Walking into the door of the research room, Dr. Shi, the chief scientist of Osborne Industries in a white uniform, introduced the new aircraft developed by Osborne Industries to the team of the Ministry of Defense, which is also a research project carried out by Osborne Industries. , the previous DoD acquisition team expressed some interest in this as well.
"... This is the first-generation prototype. The material is made of a brand-new alloy, and it is equipped with a gravity sensing system, which can perfectly solve the key problems of flight and balance in the air, with a bearing capacity of about one ton and a flight speed of nearly 500 miles per hour. , is also equipped with remote control equipment, which can carry twelve miniature air-to-surface missiles, a miniature machine gun and 5,000 rounds of ammunition, and the cost of construction is about six million US dollars..."
Dr. Shi pointed to an aircraft floating in mid-air. It was shaped like a big bat with open wings, with a dark green metallic glow all over its body. Users could stand on it to control it. The engine at the rear spewed out a green halo of energy, blowing up violent wind pressure, and at the same time producing a harsh noise that almost drowned out his commentary.
"I don't have any interest in this little toy, it's an outdated thing."
General Suo, the leader of the Ministry of National Defense team, said indifferently. He glanced at the aircraft hovering in the air with a trace of contempt in his eyes. The high cost and narrow and low-end application scope are destined to be a new aircraft for the military. Attractive, they need weapons that can be mass-produced and lethal, not high-end products that are used to defraud research funds.
Why is that guy Tony Stark loved by the military bosses, because he can always come up with some good things that meet the value, and he has a very high technical content, which will never be easily outdated.
"General, this new aircraft was the last designated procurement weapon by the Ministry of Defense..."
Norman stepped forward in time to relieve Dr. Shi's embarrassment, with an eager smile on his face. Although General Sow's attitude was bad, he did not want to offend this important member of the Ministry of Defense.
"Needless to say, it was swept into the dustbin of history just like my predecessor... You may not know it yet, that guy was fired for taking bribes, and I won't make that mistake again."
Norman was shocked when he heard this. If this is true, then it means that all the conditions negotiated by Osborn Industries and the Department of Defense have been abolished and everything has to be restarted.
Looking at General Suo with an arrogant look on his face, Norman suddenly felt a little bad. He glanced at the research room and found that two directors who were not usually involved in industrial production had also come here, wearing glasses. Mr. Ba, who is in a wheelchair, and Mr. Fei, who is in a wheelchair, are the two major shareholders of the company. They are supported by Wall Street forces. They are pure and disgusting financial speculators. They only want to extract more benefits from Osborne Industries. .
"Why did the two of them come?"
He was secretly surprised, but Norman didn't have time to think about it. General Suo was not interested in the new aircraft, so he had to quickly hand in a report on the physical fitness enhancement plan. The new procurement officer of the Ministry of Defense is really more than the previous one. Difficult to serve.
"We put mice through the vaporization inhalation experiment, and their physical strength increased eightfold. This proves that our experiment is in the right direction. As long as we continue to research, we will soon be able to produce a super serum during World War II..."
Norman followed General Suo closely, telling him the experimental process of human enhancement medicine in detail, and at the same time deliberately ignoring some immature drawbacks.
"Sounds pretty good." General Suo nodded lightly, as if inadvertently asked: "Are there any side effects?"
Norman Osborn's expression changed immediately, and General Suo looked suspiciously at Dr. Shi who was standing beside him.
Dr. Shi, who was bald, couldn't bear General Suo's sharp eyes at all, so he told the truth—
"After the vaping inhalation test, the mice quickly developed obvious violent tendencies and crazy aggression, and we may have to return the whole study to the equation stage to solve this problem."
"General, this is just a small problem, and it won't take long to solve..."
"Enough! Mr. Osborn." General Sow interrupted Norman's defense coldly, and the Department of Defense procurement officer sneered: "You tried to deceive the Department of Defense just now, which is an unforgivable fault. And such research results can't satisfy the military at all. What we need is super soldiers. If you can show me a 'Captain America' in two weeks, then everything will be fine..."
"Remember, I'm only giving Osborne Industries two weeks, and if it doesn't work by that time, I'll revoke your research funding, as well as your DOD procurement business."
General Suo condescended to pronounce the verdict, and then led the inspection team of the Ministry of National Defense away, leaving only Norman Osborn standing in place with cold hands and feet. Falling into the ice cave, my heart is cold and desperate. If Osborne Industries cannot become a procurement company of the Ministry of Defense, then all the huge funds that have been invested will be in vain, and the huge deficit is enough to completely break the company's capital chain.
As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the worse you fall. For this opportunity, Norman Osborn blocked almost everything, and even borrowed a huge sum of money from the bank, but now General Suo has a clear attitude, Unwilling to pay for the next stage of the research and development process, no return on investment at all costs, no profit from previous operating costs and research funds, and the business kingdom that has been painstakingly built for decades is suddenly in danger of collapse .
Norman Osborn, whose dream was shattered, suddenly turned fierce. He remembered the two company directors who left with the Ministry of Defense team, and suddenly seemed to understand something. Maybe General Suo didn't think about letting him Osborne Industries became a procurement enterprise for the Department of Defense, and it was all a planned conspiracy!
"No one can take it from me!" Norman looked grim, he couldn't afford to lose Osborn Industries.
After driving away everyone in the lab, Norman Osborn left only the research director. After hours of hesitation and thinking, he finally made a risky decision.
He wants to use his own body to test the human enhancement potion directly!
"Mr. Osborn, this is too risky! The human enhancement agent has not yet reached the stage of human testing, and your life will be in danger!"
The research director pulled Norman Osborn, who had lost his calm demeanor. He understood the other party's urgency, but any research results that wanted to be applied to the human body had to go through repeated experiments and data comparisons.
"I don't have any more time! Without the order from the Department of Defense, Osborn Industries is completely dead!"
Norman broke away from the research director and took off his shirt. He is facing the biggest crisis since the company was founded. If he can't get through it successfully, the business empire he built with his own hands will instantly turn into ruins!
Those bankers on Wall Street will definitely not miss this great opportunity, they will be like hungry wolves, desperate to pounce on them.
"Give me the catalyst! The experiment must succeed!"
Norman seemed to have made up his mind. He drank a bottle of catalyst and lay down on the experimental apparatus, asking Dr. Shi to lock the guard of the apparatus for his own.
But at this moment, a heart-wrenching voice suddenly sounded repeatedly in Norman's mind.
"If you strengthen yourself, you will surely die..."
"If you strengthen yourself, you will surely die..."
…
After hearing this voice, Norman's mind saw in a trance the scene where Osborn Industries was eaten by the hungry wolves on Wall Street after his death, and saw his son Harry Osborn because of Osborn's death. The appearance of Spoon Industries being taken away by someone ~IndoMTL.com~ and living on the streets.
"Yes, the human enhancement potion has not been completely successful, I can't take such a risk, I will definitely die..."
Seeing these pictures, Norman Osborn broke out in a cold sweat and began to regret it.
"Dr. Shi, let me go!"
After that, Norman began to shake violently. He ordered Dr. Shi to untie the experimental instrument for him and walked down from the instrument.
Dr. Shi untied Norman's guard and asked excitedly, "Mr. Osborn, do you finally understand?"
"Yes, as the person in charge of Osborn Industries, I must not risk my life, Dr. Shi, hurry up and find someone who can do experiments for us, hurry up and quickly The best effects of human enhancement medicines are tested, do you hear clearly?"
Norman nodded, put on his clothes, and explained what happened after Dr. Shi.
Although he can't do the experiment himself, he can let others do the experiment.
There are still two weeks until the DOD delivery time, long enough for him to find a lot of people to experiment for himself!
Norman calmed down his anxiety again, and after explaining the next thing to Dr. Shi, he walked out of the laboratory!
However, just after he walked out of the laboratory, he suddenly felt a little empty in his heart, as if he had lost something important.
Although it felt strange, Norman didn't take it to heart. He often had this feeling, just a sense of crisis.
But then, a thin figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
That's what he just saw when he sent Harry off to Columbia University not long ago - Ron!
