Buzz buzz buzz…
As four helicopters, which were said to have the largest load-carrying capacity in the world, circled and ascended, a stone pillar about five or six meters thick was pulled out of the mountain by them.
"How much deeper!"
Frank looked at the person in charge of the construction site, who quickly called over an old miner.
The old miner twisted the rock sample he had mined with his hands, and then had someone throw down an iron hammer tied to a rope. He stood on it and listened with his ears to the sound of the hammer hitting the rock layer below.
He said to Frank confidently, "At most, there's still half a meter!"
"Master!" Frank waved his hand and offered a price of five thousand dollars.
Among a group of miners who signed up enthusiastically, four or five experienced miners were selected, tied safety ropes around their waists, and went down the pit with electric mining machines!
"Why didn't you just blast open the rock formation with explosives?"
Trevor Anderson looked at Frank in confusion.
Frank stood at the edge of the pit, watching the miners working inside. "I'm worried that the vibration from the blasting might cause the geological structure inside to deteriorate, and affect the search for the center of the earth!"
Trevor Anderson was about to say something when Frank suddenly looked up.
He followed Frank's gaze and saw a black dot flying towards him from high in the sky.
A blue and white helicopter landed on the tarmac halfway up the mountain, and a bodyguard in black walked down from the plane carrying a silver briefcase.
"Commander Cube, Mr. Frank, my boss asked me to pass this to you!"
This black-clad bodyguard clearly has the strict and old-fashioned Germanic style.
This style of doing things shows that he is Kane's subordinate.
Even though Frank was right in front of him, the black-clad bodyguard still took out an instrument and let the Red Queen program verify Frank's fingerprints and irises before handing him the silver briefcase.
In front of the black-clad bodyguards, Frank opened the silver suitcase with his fingerprint and took out a rosewood box.
After opening the wooden box, there was a khaki jade plate inside, and the patterns on it were similar to those on his catapult knife.
Frank infused the little bit of inner energy he had cultivated into the jade token, and the ochre lines on the jade token lit up one by one.
Frank waved his hand, and a yellowish-brown light shot out from the jade plate to the ground. The rock formation in front of him seemed to flow like water, surging around in an instant.
A pit more than half a meter deep soon appeared on the ground!
Frank looked at the jade token in his hand, then at the miners working in the pit over there...
“It’s through, it’s through!”
Just at this moment, cheers were heard from afar.
… …
Opening reception for the Monaco Grand Prix.
According to the original specifications of previous antique car competitions, there would not be an opening reception.
Now that we have a wealthy sponsor like Tony Stark, an opening reception is a natural thing to do.
Not only did they choose an ultra-luxurious five-star hotel, but the organizers also specially installed many 200-inch clear large screens in the hotel. These screens are connected to the cameras of each track at the competition site in real time.
It allows VIPs who come here to watch the game in real time.
"Hey, relax, Pepper, this is Europe, we're here on vacation, put all your work aside for now!"
A white convertible sports car stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Tony Stark was speechless as he watched Pepper, who was still busy working and answering phone calls.
"Tony, I don't want to either. You know, I was the one who handled all this work before.
But you make all the important decisions, and now you give me the power to make the decision. I’m afraid I’ll mess it up!”
Ms. Pepper, the newly appointed president of Stark Industries, put down the phone next to her ear and expressed her feelings to Tony Stark.
She also couldn't understand why Tony did so many inexplicable things after the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
Sold their collections that they had collected over the years.
He let go of Stark Industries and pushed her to the position of president of Stark Industries.
Well, although Pepper was excited to hear the news,
There is a kind of joy that comes from working hard for more than ten years and finally reaching the peak of your career.
However, after taking over Stark Industries and managing this huge company as its president, she personally understood the weight behind each of Tony's seemingly casual decisions.
"I understand, I understand. Relax, Pepper. You're just taking over for the first time. It will be fine once you get familiar with it. Now listen to me. Put down your phone and let's enjoy our vacation!"
Pepper listened to Tony Stark's comforting words and obediently put away her phone.
“This is Europe, not New York…”
Tony Stark accompanied Pepper into the hotel lobby and was about to describe the vacation itinerary he was going to arrange in the next few days after the car race!
"Hi, Ms. Pepper, congratulations on becoming the president of Stark Industries!"
Before Tony Stark could finish his words, a corporate executive who did business with Stark Industries came over to Pepper with a smile on his face and greeted her enthusiastically.
As for Tony Stark, the famous Iron Man, he was simply ignored.
"What a fickle world!"
Tony Stark took a bottle of champagne from a tray held by a waiter and walked aside to drink it.
Although his words were very negative, Tony Stark didn't look disappointed...
"Mr. Stark, according to Dr. Louis' instructions, your body should drink less!"
Dressed in a professional suit that outlines her beautiful figure, Ms. Natalie, who has just replaced Pepper as Tony Stark's personal secretary, swayed to Tony Stark and snatched his wine glass.
Tony Stark curled his lips and said, "Louis told me to drink less, not to stop drinking. My body has recovered now, and it's recovered very well!"
Seeing that Natalie had no intention of returning the glass to him, Tony Stark had no choice but to say:
"Well, it seems that Pepper has trained you well. I can almost see her shadow in you!"
"It would be my pleasure! Mr. Stark!"
Natalie casually placed the wine glass in her hand on the tray of a passing waiter.
"Mr. Stark, you have an event tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. The Airbus executives want to talk to you about the aircraft engine authorization issue!"
"I don't have time tomorrow, not before ten!"
"Then I'll inform them to change the event to 11 o'clock!"
Watching Natalie walk away swaying, Tony Stark turned around and took another glass of champagne from a waiter. While drinking, he looked at Pepper who was surrounded by a group of people and complimented by them, with complicated emotions in his eyes.
“How do you feel after stepping down as president?”
"Cough cough!" The sudden sound behind him scared Tony Stark, and he choked on the champagne and coughed repeatedly.
"What the hell, Don, why are you here?"
Tony Stark finally recovered and looked at Tang Song in front of him and the three beauties with different styles beside him, his eyes widened.
"Of course I came to watch the Moroccan Antique Car Race. The billionaires' dedication must be a spectacular scene!"
Tang Song waved his hand and the waiter beside him brought over a few glasses of champagne.
Tang Song took one cup, Fox took two cups, handed them to Skye and Selina before taking one for himself.
"It's just a car race, why do I hear scenes of facing a terrorist crisis from your mouth!" Tony Stark frowned.
"bite!"
Tang Song raised his glass and clinked it with Tony Stark.
"When the news of your resignation as president came out, Stark Industries' stock price immediately dropped by several percentage points. I suffered a huge loss!"
Tony Stark shrugged, picked up the glass, and took a sip of champagne:
"If you lose confidence in Stark Industries, you can sell all your stocks to me. I can buy them at the price before the stock price drops!"
"That's not necessary. As I said before, what I invested in was not stocks or Stark Industries, but your smart brain, Tony Stark!"
Tang Song said meaningfully: "Unless you die one day, I will not sell these stocks!"
After hearing Tang Song's words, Tony Stark was stunned and his expression was a little complicated.
It seems that Tang and Song touched a sore spot.
He put down his glass and said, "Tang, I have to participate in the competition later. I have to rush to the scene to prepare now. Excuse me!"
… …
"Let's go! Let's go to the competition scene too!" Tang Song looked at Tony Stark hurriedly leaving.
Said to the three Skye girls behind him.
On the other side, Pepper finally managed to get away from the small talk of a group of business people, but Tony Stark was no longer visible in the conference hall.
"Hi, Ms. Pepper!"
Pepper walked around the venue and didn't see Tony Stark, but there was an uninvited guest who came up to her.
"Congratulations to Ms. Pepper for becoming the head of Stark Industries," Justin Hammer congratulated Pepper with a big smile on his face.
It was as if he wasn't the one who corrected Tony Stark before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
"Ms. Pepper, I am Tony's old classmate. Can we reserve two seats for Hammer Industries at the Stark Industries Expo..."
"By the way, where's Tony?"
Pepper casually responded to Justin Hammer with a few words and looked around for Tony. Soon her eyes were fixed on the surveillance screen at the starting point of the antique car race.
A familiar figure, even though he's wearing a helmet!
… …
"Tony Stark!"
Yin Fan Wanke, who sneaked into the race track among a group of racing mechanics, silently memorized Tony Stark's racing number!
In the audience seats next to the racing car, Mia and Letty kept their eyes on a blue racing car.
Mia clasped her hands together and silently prayed for her brother.
As for the cars next to them, Xin looked at the other nineteen racing cars except Toledo, secretly giving them the middle finger and cursing them for having flat tires on the road.
You have to know that although he said it was easy, he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to allow Toledo to participate in this competition, plus an old antique car that was not easy to find.
If Toledo loses, he will suffer a great loss.
Many racers are doing the final inspection around their cars.
When they all got into the racing cars, as the countdown ended, more than a dozen racing cars roared out on the track.
