American Comics: Opening Guidance Batman

The Stark Industrial Group Headquarters Building, also known as the Stark Building, is located on East 45th Street at Grand Central Station in Manhattan, New York, USA. It was completed in the 1990s, with a height of about 350 meters and a total of 89 floors.

Originally the founder and owner of Stark Industries, Howard, bought a piece of land on the east side of Grand Central Station, and then planned to build a new headquarters for his car company, which was later built on the advice of Obadiah. It became the tallest building in New York City at the time and one of the most famous views on the New York skyline.

But unfortunately, Howard failed to see the building completed. After Stark grew up and took over the Stark Group, the building was repaired many times. Now, it has become a collection of high-tech laboratories, A giant building integrating the group headquarters and commercial office buildings.

There are also many New Yorkers who like to jokingly call it the "Triangle Tower", because the Stark Building is shaped like a right-angled triangle, and the building on the east side is taller. From the 79th to the 89th floors are Stark's personal laboratory. The building on the west side is shorter and is a commercial office building, which is where Stark Group employees work.

Although this design makes the appearance of the building look a little weird, it is very practical. The two buildings are connected to each other, but they do not interfere with each other. Ruined the beauty of the New York skyline, but to this day, Stark Tower has become an indispensable part of New York travel guide.

The first Stark Industry Fair was organized by Howard Stark in 2019. Before the 20th century, the Stark Industry Fair was the largest industrial exposition in the world.

After Howard's death, Tony Stark, who inherited the Stark Group, did not like to hold industrial expositions very much. Therefore, from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, the grand scene of the Stark Industrial Expo was no longer, until today, Tony Stark said at the Stark Tower press conference, facing the flashing lights and the microphone:

"I am to blame for the fact that the most important part of human industrial development has been forgotten for many years, and I am very disappointed that after the death of the Stark Group founder, I have not heard of any industrial fair in the world. , to be able to stand up to fill this part of the gap.”

"And now, what I want to tell you is that next you will receive an invitation that may be the most important in your life, and you will witness with your own eyes how far the development of human industry has come. If these decades The blank period is my negligence, then I will tell you with a Stark Industry Fair"

Stark looked around, and the reporters around looked at him without saying a word.

The reporters were all too familiar with Stark, but most of the time, Pepper stood in front of the reporters and explained to the reporters that the bad things Stark did would not have a big impact, and then the drunk Tony was taken from the reporter. He dragged him up in the background and perfunctory reporters said a few words.

But now, all reporters could see that the Mr. Stark in front of them was a little different.

Stark used to be arrogant, he often said that "ordinary people can't understand me", "You never know how my invention will change mankind" or "Those little things don't matter at all, I'm about to change mankind." the process of industrial development” and so on.

Arrogance is his business card, and frivolity is his synonym, but this time, Stark's tone is very different, and even these reporters who have heard all kinds of sophistry of celebrities have focused their attention on him on the body.

"There are many rumors in this world that are hard to distinguish between true and false, and your job is to spread them, but these things can never really change the world, you can't do it, that Yin Fanwanke can't do it, he stands behind his back. The air force, army and navy that are still doing it can't do it."

Finally, Stark said into the microphone: "But I can."

Stark picked up an invitation card from the table and showed it to the reporters, saying: "This is the ticket for Noah's Ark in the new century. If you don't want to board, then stay in the decaying waves and wait to die. ."

Countless flashes came on, the sound of the shooting was accompanied by noisy questions, and the "boom" resounded. Stark's calm face was photographed and fixed on one newspaper after another.

The picture of the newspaper shook, and the hand holding the newspaper was put down. Peter's face was exposed behind him. He took a bite of the hot dog and said to Gwen next to him, "I didn't expect you to get tickets for the Stark Industry Expo. I thought "

Gwen shrugged and said, "There's been a lot of reports about Stark lately. I happen to be very interested in the Industrial Fair, so I asked my dad to help me get two tickets. Let's go together."

Speaking of this Peter got a little angry, "I think some reporters are distorting the facts"

"I know you're a Stark fan. You said that when you interned at Stark Group, he treated you well." Gwen turned to look at Peter, who sighed and said a little frustratedly: " Don't you think he's a bad guy too? But"

Gwen patted Peter on the shoulder and said: "Many people know Stark from the report, which may not be the same as the Stark you know, but this is also normal, because people are multi-faceted."

"You think they are smearing your idol, but they also think you are whitewashing him, but in any case, I am more concerned about whether Stark can really achieve what he said in the press conference. Brave words."

Gwen took off his bag, then dug out two invitation cards, handed one to Peter, and said, "Take it apart and see, if the design is too ugly, we won't go."

Peter turned the invitation upside down and said, "From the outside, it's nothing special."

As he said that, he opened the invitation card, and Gwen did the same with him, and then said a little disappointedly: "The design of the invitation card is quite ordinary, and there is a card inside, which says, please go to East 45th Street at Central Station in Manhattan, The 90th floor of Stark Group Headquarters Building”

"Wait!" Peter interrupted Gwen, he picked up the card in the invitation card in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "The 90th floor?? Where is the 90th floor of Stark Building? That building has only 90 floors. 89th floor!"

Gwen also looked at it and said suspiciously: "You must have counted wrong?" After speaking, she turned her gaze back to the invitation card and said, "Our two cards are written on the 90th floor, so it should be It's not a typo."

Peter scratched his head, his tone a little uncertain: "I remember there should be only the 89th floor? At least the elevator must go to the 89th floor."

"Could it be that he planned to let us visit on the roof?"

"And I remember" Gwen said, taking the newspaper Peter had put down and pointing to the picture of Stark Building in one of the reports: "The exhibition hall in Stark Building shouldn't be on the lower building on the left. The top floor? How could this building have 90 floors?"

"Indeed, I went to that exhibition hall. It's really big. It should be more than enough to hold an industrial fair."

Just when Peter and Gwen were at a loss, other people who received the invitation had the same doubts as them, even if they were standing on the roof of other buildings and looking at the Stark Building with binoculars, counting the number of floors one by one. , and indeed there are only 89 floors, and there are no 90 floors at all.

Many reporters seized this point and started attacking Stark. They claimed that it was a bad joke from the playboy, saying that he was doing everything to attract attention and stunt, and some people ridiculed him as a poor man and a pro. The struggle before death.

Indeed, after Stark released his rhetoric, most industrial groups and large enterprises were angered by his defiant attitude. If Stark's words were used before, he was more like an upstart who knows nothing. It was bragging, but the taunts launched by Stark, who was now serious, made many people break their defenses.

Because a fact is in front of them: a rotten person who has become such a rotten person~www.readwn.com~ has come up with cross-generation mecha technology, and can even wear that handsome mecha as a superhero in New York.

Many unhappy scientists and leaders of industrial groups can't help but imagine that if they developed this technology themselves, they would not be as naive as Stark, wearing a battle suit to be a superhero.

They fantasize about cooperating with the military, increasing production, controlling mechanical armies, and even world domination.

Therefore, they mocked and satirized Stark more confidently, thinking that his choice was extremely naive.

Many people say that Stark has made the worst choice in every link, which has caused him to fall into such a quagmire. If it were them, he would have to cooperate not only with the military, but also with his peers. Everyone joined hands. Come, use this technology to seize the market, divide up the profits of monopoly, or participate in international political games.

But no matter what you do, you must be much more mature than putting on an iron shell and being a hero in New York.

The most ironic thing is that Stark's heroic object, those ordinary people who are protected and rescued by him do not appreciate this, and even the voices of the people against Stark and Iron Man are more than Stark's. Colleagues are even tougher.

In short, whether it is a peer, the military or ordinary people, after receiving this invitation, they still intend to go to participate.

Most of them are in the mood for fun, wanting to see how the dude with a stinky reputation plans to pull off the stunt.

There are also many self-professed scientists who plan to use their professional knowledge to debunk Stark's hoax. Many young aspiring young people who are underappreciated plan to watch Stark's jokes to comfort themselves. These rich people are just lucky.

There are very few people like Peter and Gwen who want to study and visit simply because they are interested in industry and machinery.
