Chapter 81: Chatting with General Ross

After finally saying goodbye to everyone, Killian turned his gaze towards Ross, who was still looking at the place where Nick Fury disappeared.

"What? Are you envious of their stealth planes?" Killian approached General Ross with a smile on his face and said jokingly.

"How could I not be envious? For a modern army, a genuine stealth fighter has invaluable worth."

"It's just that, even now, all we can do is apply camouflage paint to achieve pseudo-invisibility by avoiding radar scanning."

"If we could have a plane like that, our military power would skyrocket."

"Whether it's a fighter jet or a transport plane, it could allow us to launch a large amount of ammunition or personnel into the enemy's core without any precaution."

"Its strategic value is even greater than that of a tyrant."

"Although we, the military, have never contacted SHIELD, we know for certain that they have managed to gather large funds from the World Security Council, and their scale is even greater than what we've seen."

"Just this technology alone would take us decades of research to develop at the current pace." After listening to Killian's words, Ross spoke with mixed feelings.

If the World Security Council were willing to allocate these funds to them, they probably would have unlocked these technologies a long time ago.

But after all, these are just fantasies.

"Haha, General, how about you give me 20 billion dollars, and I'll help you develop this stealth technology?"

In response to Ross's words, Killian merely smiled slightly and then spoke nonchalantly.

Stealth technology, the truth is that Killian is not very advanced with this at this moment, because this technology, to put it bluntly, is only suitable for military use and has a limited range of civilian applications.

It is much less practical than Baymax, smartphones, T-virus-based medicine, etc.

Therefore, Killian is not in a hurry when it comes to the development of invisible technology.

Of course, if Ross is willing to spend money, he doesn't mind bringing this to light in advance.

After all, it's just Invisibility technology, among black technologies, it's one of the worst, think about it, what current science fiction movie doesn't use Invisibility technology?

Not to mention invisible planes, invisible cars, invisible umbrellas, invisibility cloaks, etc., you can't think of anything that a screenwriter can't invent.

Obviously, it shouldn't be underestimated, if full-spectrum stealth exists, it means that long-range infrared-guided weapons cannot identify or lock onto targets and are invisible in the red/ultraviolet band.

For example, a regiment composed of gunners equipped with invisibility technology cannot be seen even at close range, and if they suddenly start firing under your nose, well, it won't be pretty.

It's just that selling this thing is impossible, it's not about prices, this is something he plans to arm his own army with in the future.

According to Killian's estimate, SHIELD's stealth fighters are, at most, optically stealthy.

"Are you serious?" After hearing what Killian said, Ross looked at him with a surprised expression.

Invisibility technology, apart from S.H.I.E.L.D, he has never heard of any other organization that could develop it.

But after thinking about it, he is in front of the C.E.O of Pioneer Technology, a guy who could even create robots and tyrants, so Ross wasn't that surprised.

"Of course, this price is affordable, and our company is already investing in preliminary research and development.

It's just that I haven't increased the manpower investment, otherwise, the progress would definitely exceed your expectations."

"How about it? If you invest 20 billion dollars now, I guarantee you that I'll give you stealth combat technology similar to S.H.I.E.L.D's in two years."

"I guarantee you'll get what you pay for." Looking at Ross's incredible expression, Killian continued speaking.

He discovered that selling these military technologies gives him a lot of leverage.

How long did it take for the tyrant to be delivered to the military? The military gave him tens of thousands of reputation points, even close to six figures.

He couldn't imagine what these guys were doing, where had they taken the tyrant?

If they also get stealth technology... according to Killian's estimate, if the military doesn't use the new technology to do things, then there will be problems.

As for stealth technology, the most basic optical stealth system only requires 500 reputation points, and Killian can get hundreds of times in return.

It's not impossible for it to be even a thousand or ten thousand times at most.

In this way, Killian's insignificant investment will be rewarded with enormous profits.

For Killian, it was a guaranteed win, and the money spent was provided by the military.

This is using other people's money to make a profit, and after the work is done, others will thank you?

"I need to go back and think about it." Looking at Killian's confident eyes, Ross unconsciously still chose to believe him, but after all, it was 20 billion dollars.

The total military spending of his armed forces per year was only 300 billion dollars.

Although the military was already known as a money-burning machine, they had to consider whether it was worth it.

"Hahaha, no rush, but General Ross, I have something to tell you in advance, if you don't make an offer soon and other organizations come in to throw money, don't blame me for selling to them first."

Killian also expressed his thoughts, the U.S. military isn't the only one that can bring him profits, for example, if he supports some organization in Afghanistan and lets them cause trouble, the reputation points will skyrocket.

However, unless necessary, he won't get involved in the war, it's more in line with his current development direction to make a fortune in secret while others work for him.

"…"

After hearing Killian's words, Ross didn't know what to say.

Although he knows that U.S. arms companies are basically of the same ilk: while doing business for the U.S. military, they also sell weapons like crazy to major military organizations around the world.

But doing it is one thing, and saying it is another, you know, he's still a general in the U.S. military.

Just as Ross was about to leave, Killian's secretary approached, after informing Killian in a low voice, she slowly walked away.
