Superman of the American Comics

Chapter 86 This man is from the future

"The communications industry? AT&T is already doing it. They have the core technology of Bell Labs. Even if Stark Industries enters it, they may not be able to compete."

Hearing Luke's proposal, Howard shook his head again and again.

Entering the communications industry as an operator, there is no place for orders from the Ministry of Defense.

Moreover, the upfront investment is huge.

Laying cables and building communication systems are all necessary tasks that take a lot of time and money.

The most important thing is that Stark Industries has to face the terrifying enemy of Bell Labs.

Even with Howard's critical vision, he had to admit that it was the greatest laboratory in the world.

It may not be as good as the Manhattan Project, where geniuses and bigwigs from all over the world gather together.

But it can also be called a wealth of talents, which should not be underestimated.

Howard is not like his son, who occasionally has a naive romantic idealism.

For example, abandoning the main business of the company, closing down the weapon manufacturing factory, putting on steel armor and becoming a superhero, etc.

As a businessman, Howard is rational.

He is not optimistic about Luke's proposal, thinking that the communications industry is not a good choice for expanding his territory.

"Don't rush to answer, just read my plan before I talk."

Since Howard is looking for cooperation, Luke will definitely not come here empty-handed.

Relying on his quick-thinking super brain and his knowledge of related technologies in his previous life, he spent a few days working out a proposal.

Frankly speaking, once Superman uses his brain, he can indeed surpass more than 90.00% of geniuses.

It's like turning on the accelerator and clicking on the technology tree like crazy.

For the same 24 hours, Luke seems to be able to +1 every second.

It is obviously a difficult problem to solve, but the answer can be obtained after a few glances.

"Bell Labs is indeed the greatest laboratory on the planet, but that doesn't mean that AT&T can always monopolize the communications industry."

While Howard was flipping through the proposal, Luke explained his thoughts, "You may not have noticed that due to the development of the automobile industry, more and more people own cars, the demand for mobile phones is great, and communication is no longer Confined to the family. If my plan is followed, Stark Industries will definitely be able to open a new era of mobile communications, and even the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T), which is supported by Bell Labs, may not be an opponent!"

Of course Luke knew that AT&T had an ace up its sleeve, Bell Labs.

There have been eleven Nobel Prize winners in physics, four Turing Award winners, and sixteen winners of the highest science award in the United States.

Since its establishment, it has obtained more than 3 patents, an average of one per day.

Many key technologies of later generations of computers, televisions, mobile phones, cameras and the Internet came from Bell Labs.

It is no exaggeration to say that it changed the world.

In the original timeline, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T), relying on Bell Labs, has dominated the communications industry for more than 100 years, and it has always been the leader, and no one can surpass it.

If it weren't for the subsequent anti-monopoly law that caused this behemoth to be dismantled and dismembered, the communications empire built by Bell Labs would not have collapsed.

And what Luke wants to do is to take the lead in bringing the era of mobile communication, and then use the energy of Stark Industries to deploy it calmly.

From communication services to the Internet and mobile TV, it has penetrated into every family.

As long as this cake is made, it will not be worse than the business of Stark Industries itself.

"You did this by yourself?"

Howard listened while flipping through the plan.

The expression on his face, from being careless at the beginning, became more dignified later.

Halfway through, the most successful arms tycoon in the United States couldn't help but breathe heavily, and the speed of turning pages became faster and faster.

"Unbelievable! Luke, do you know that because of your existence, for the first time, I feel that God is unfair!"

Half an hour later, Howard said in a complicated tone.

There was surprise, excitement, and a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"I've never been jealous of your superhuman body—except when facing too many beautiful girls and being a little powerless. I've always been proud of my genius brain, but—you refreshed my cognition today."

"It's not that you discovered any novel technology, or made some amazing breakthrough. Rather, your vision is completely beyond this era!"

"This plan is like a key, directly showing me the future 50 years later!"

Luke shrugged, taking time to appreciate Howard's inability to keep his cool.

He said that this is just the basic operation of the traverser. If you want to defeat the world-famous Bell Labs, of course you have to throw out the technology accumulation ahead of the time.

Moreover, can the matter of the time traveler be regarded as plagiarism?

This is a reasonable use of advantages to lead technological innovation ahead of schedule.

Luke consoled himself so much.

"It's unscientific! I don't mean to be offensive, but Luke, you didn't even go to college, how did you come up with this!?"

Howard held the thick plan book and calmed down by pacing back and forth.

In this thick stack of papers, a blueprint for the future of the communication age is simply depicted!

From the internal integrated chip, precision parts, to the core technology of analog signal and frequency division multiple access, even encrypted channels, automatic connection and so on.

Including the establishment of urban communication networks, the development of cellular mobile communication networks in the later stage, the miniaturization of mobile phones...

Content like this filled a thick stack of paper.

The densely packed large paragraphs of discussion have almost planned the development route for the next 20 or 50 years.

This is why Howard was shocked!

What Luke gave is not just the invention of a certain technology, but the way forward for the entire industry.

"Did you come back from the future in a time machine?"

Howard took a deep breath, staring at Luke who was sitting lightly on the sofa, as if he wanted to find out the real answer from him.

"Yes. The future world is destined to be ruled by artificial intelligence. In order to prevent its evil plan to enslave mankind, I led the rebels to create a time machine and use it to go back to World War II! This is my biggest secret , don’t tell others, because it may bring danger.”

Luke is serious nonsense, and it's really interesting to see Howard's dubious look.

"Forget it, it doesn't make sense that I can only be a genius in this world. Well, Luke, you are welcome to join the genius club, and I admit that you have this qualification."

After a while, Howard shook his head and sighed, seeming a little melancholy.

Now even the most proud genius brain has lost the capital to show off in front of Luke, which is really depressing.

"How do you want to cooperate?"

Howard, who calmed down, began to test Luke's bottom line.

He had no interest in the communications industry, and he didn't think that Stark Industries could beat Bell Labs and seize AT&T's market share.

But things are different now.

With this plan, Howard even has the confidence to build a communications empire, not to mention winning the market.

"I take 60.00% and invest in technology. Stark Industries invests funds and can get the remaining 30.00%. The rest will be given away. The establishment of a mobile communication network must have the support of the government."

Luke didn't go around in circles and said it directly.

What he fancy is the strong capital of Stark Industries and the deep foundation behind it.

If the communication industry wants to develop, it must have the support of the government.

Although Luke has a place in the military, his political power is weak.

As long as Stark Industries is pulled into the chariot, it will not fall into many difficulties in the later stage of development.

"Very reasonable. Stark Industries has just picked up a bargain for nothing with your plan, your blueprints and technology."

Howard nodded, agreeing to this rough distribution plan.

More detailed regulations will definitely be discussed later.

"Then, happy cooperation."

Luke smiled and held out his hand, and Howard squeezed it tightly.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they both saw the arrival of a new era.
