This year, Stark Industries' thermal weapons industry spread all over the world, and the United States expressed its willingness to support it as the first enterprise and carry out in-depth cooperation;
This year, Banner, a biology professor at Culver University in the United States, mysteriously disappeared in a radiation leak in his laboratory several years ago, and no one has found his whereabouts to this day.
…
The year is only halfway through, that is, in early June. Recently, two major events have occurred one after another, which have caused a frenzy on the Internet and news media, and have been actively discussed by the whole nation!
The first event.
Tony Stark, the chairman of Stark Industries, the world's largest arms dealer, playboy, and genius, was demonstrating a bombing missile specially produced for the US military in the military wilderness. On his way back with the army, he was attacked by terrorists and all the US soldiers who were traveling with him were shot and slaughtered. Tony's body has not been found and is currently considered missing.
As for Tony, some people are obsessed with and appreciate his talent and wealth, but more people can't help being jealous and envious of him.
But no matter what, he is a genius engineer who has changed much of the technological landscape in the 21st century and a rare talent on earth. Even though he is arrogant, conceited, and has many black spots, people still pay enough social attention to him, and the US military is frantically searching for him around the world.
The original news newspapers reported the details and analysis of Tony's disappearance day and night until the second incident occurred yesterday.
The second event.
The American spacecraft Apollo 8 did not stay on the moon for a week as planned, and did not make any contact with the underground aviation agency. It switched to autonomous driving mode and made an emergency return late last night!
The underground aviation department failed to contact the spacecraft until the early morning, when they found the space capsule through positioning in the mountains and wilderness of the Middle East. By then, the space capsule had successfully made an emergency landing, and the astronauts inside were in a coma and seriously injured.
Research found that there were no signs of intrusion in the spacecraft capsule, and the black box monitoring was destroyed by some kind of magnetic field interference.
Later, after the astronauts recovered from the rescue, they were detained in the interrogation room by many departments. After a week-long interrogation, no relevant information or intelligence was obtained.
The astronaut was mentally normal and in good health, but he kept repeating two sentences in response: "I saw a black angel on the moon."
"Believe me, I was knocked out by the Black Angel!"
This mysterious incident of the "Black Angel in Space" has not been solved after thousands of years, becoming the world's greatest unsolved mystery and classified as the country's highest level archive.
Of course, this is all in the past.
At this moment, in a remote mountainous and desolate area in the Middle East, ten kilometers away from the space capsule's emergency landing site.
'Boom!'
The engine rang as an old off-road jeep drove quickly across the desert wilderness, raising billowing clouds of dust.
Inside the car, a mechanical music box that looks like a robot stands upright on the dashboard. The speakers emit powerful and cool electronic music, and the rhythm of each note is trembling at the climax.
Sitting in the main driver's seat was a young man wearing a hooded jacket and jeans. He was operating the steering wheel with one hand and leaning his other hand against the window. The strong wind coming in from outside blew his shiny silver hair up and brushed his forehead.
"Weisi, what song are you playing?" The silver-haired young man snorted in dissatisfaction.
The deafening electronic music in the car stopped abruptly, and then a gentle male voice came out of the speaker, "Master, this is the most popular song in the United States this year."
"Are you indirectly describing me as an old-fashioned antique?" Kyle frowned. After Vess invaded the database in the space capsule, he knew the basic situation of the Earth in the current era.
Unexpectedly, after passing through two large space-time wormholes in succession and being out in space for less than a month, the Earth is now in the 21st century.
The year 2008 is more than half a century away from the year 1945, or 63 years to be exact.
63 years! This is probably a lifetime for humans!
"Master, you have to admit now that if measured by Earth time, you are undoubtedly an old man nearly ninety years old." Weiss calmly narrated this cruel fact.
"Ninety is ninety." Kyle shrugged indifferently, narrowed his eyes and said, "Weiss. If the means of communication on Earth in the 21st century has not changed, it must be mainly wireless communication in the form of 'electromagnetic waves (radio waves)'. Try to connect to the local server and get the information on the Internet. Can you do it?"
Weiss's transformed robot opened and closed its horn, as if smiling, "Of course, I'm an expert when it comes to communication signals."
"That's right." Kyle also laughed. The original body of Weiss was modified from the first mobile phone on Earth. It was a true ancestor.
"Well, check for me all the information about the Karl family during the years I was away."
Seeing Kyle's rare serious expression, Weiss dared not to neglect it and immediately sent his system signal source in the form of radio waves.
Radio waves are like invisible lines, weaving into an optical network that spreads over an area of several kilometers or even tens of kilometers around, capturing passing electromagnetic information and tracing it back to the local network server host.
"System connection started... Local signal is weak... Successfully switched to satellite signal, and the connection is good now."
Successfully connected to the Earth's network, Wistron is like a built-in search engine. At least as long as it is on the Internet in this information age, all the information that has been disseminated can be read and consulted.
After a moment, Weiss responded, "No information related to the Karl family has ever appeared on the Earth network."
“That’s good.” Kyle smiled after hearing this. “It’s good that they haven’t been exposed. They worked so hard to prepare for this for so long. If they don’t know how to restrain themselves and operate as a secret force, then they will really let me down.”
"New Era, there is a lot of other important information. Do I need to tell you now?" Weiss asked.
"No need." Kyle refused and said with emotion: "Let me experience and adapt to this era step by step."
"So where should we go now? Should we look for the Carl family's headquarters hidden overseas, Master?" Weiss continued to ask.
"Let's go to the Stark Industries building in New York and see if the portal there still exists." Kyle touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
At this moment, a black dot slowly appeared in the sky in front of the jeep's windshield, emitting thick smoke and getting closer and closer as it fell downwards.
"Hmm?" Kyle looked up sharply, turned the steering wheel sharply, and slammed on the brakes with quick reaction. The Jeep spun sideways on the sand and stopped with a beautiful drift.
The next moment, a humanoid aircraft crashed into the sand right in front of the car, less than three meters away, and a pile of broken steel parts and dust flew up.

"Crack!"
The jeep's wipers began to swing, clearing the parts and sand that had fallen on the windshield, and a man's painful groan was heard from where the humanoid aircraft had fallen.
Kyle looked at Vesper on the dashboard without hesitation and reached out his hand.
Vess understood what he meant, and his mechanical body quickly transformed, shrinking and folding into an ordinary pair of sunglasses.
Wearing sunglasses, Kyle opened the door and walked out of the car, his eyes falling on the small sand pit in front.
I saw a broken steel machine lying in the pit. The steel casing had fallen off, revealing a pair of men's gloved hands surrounding his body. The broken and fragmented steel parts were scattered all over the ground, containing electric wires, some of which were still emitting sparks and black smoke.
"Hu." The man inhaled with a painful sound and removed the steel helmet and steel mask on his head, revealing a mature gentleman's face, with dry black hair, a slightly weathered moustache, and a age of about thirty years old.
His face was full of fatigue, his casual long-sleeved shirt was stained with blood and smelled of gunpowder, his chest was heaving with rapid breathing, and his right hand seemed to be broken and was held by the other hand.
The man looked as if he had just experienced a fierce battle and escaped here with great difficulty.
When he saw the jeep parked in front of him and Kyle getting out of the car, he quickly called for help, "Save me! Please take me away from here!"
"What good will it do me if I save you?" Kyle looked down at the gentleman lying on the ground with a cold and arrogant look, and said with serious consideration.
Tony was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "I have money! Take me away and I will give you money!"
