Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 71 The Order Keepers (Fourth Update)
"Cough cough cough~"

The microphone was very ordinary, but Luca's voice was clear and bright.

"I think everyone is clear about the purpose of inviting you all here today."

At this moment, Luca was standing in the middle of the weapons testing range in front of a bunch of strange data collection devices, looking at everyone with a relaxed expression.

Thanks to the waiters' reminder, everyone who had been chatting at the 'open-air party' had quieted down and was waiting for Luca's performance.

Although many of these people, not just shareholders, but even the core veterans of the company, were not very optimistic about the project Luca mentioned.

However, since they are all "one of us," no one would actively jump out to cause trouble or show off their presence at such a moment.

Everyone was indeed curious to see what kind of tricks this heir to the House of Orange would pull.

"I'm sure many of you here know more about the current state of Orange Industries than I, as the new leader, do."

"This is an internal demonstration, so I won't go through any cliché opening remarks. Let's get straight to the formal testing and introduction!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in satisfaction, and many even showed encouraging smiles and applauded lightly.

Ultimately, Luca is just a successor, and he's too young to have truly established his authority.

If Luca were to try to inspire these 'old guys' with ideas about the future or instill ideologies under these circumstances, he would only become a laughingstock.

On the contrary, this pragmatic style inherited from Gina has won the favor of some people.

Justin Hammer, dressed in red, also clapped with a smile, but spoke with a hint of pride to Heinrich beside him.

"Now comes the real test. We'll see if this guy is as good as the person behind you says."

Heinrich, standing to the side, showed no change in expression upon hearing this, except for a barely perceptible flash of red light in his left eye.

Many people in the audience, like Justin, were talking quietly, but this had no effect on Luca on stage.

Putting down the microphone, Luca waved to the wrench next to him.

The wrench, who had been eagerly waiting, excitedly ran over with the square black briefcase in his hand, opened it, and placed it on the table.

Inside is, of course, Luca's 'self-developed' 'Dominator Beta 1.2' pistol.

That's right, it's 'Dominator Beta 1.2'!
In fact, Luca hadn't just been sitting idly by waiting for his men to prepare for this internal exhibition.

During this period, he spent a lot of time with Harlow researching which part of the technology in this 'knock-off Dominator' could be encrypted in a black box to prevent it from being cracked.

Which parts are more suitable for patent registration, and which can be selectively disclosed?

In fact, Luca only learned in the last few days that patent registration itself requires detailed disclosure of the technical solution, including core principles, implementation steps, and other information, in order to be truly 'protected'.

However, this behavior is often the root cause of the exposure of core technologies.

Therefore, some large enterprises, especially those in the military technology field, are willing to risk having their technology cracked and their patents reverse-registered.

Some companies choose to refuse to register patents, relying more on physical means to keep their core product technologies confidential.

Yeah, of course.

In this Marvel universe, if some geniuses really want to crack your technology, they won't listen to any logic.

However, these true geniuses are unlikely to apply these groundbreaking technologies to the business world, so there's no need to worry too much about it.

And even if everything goes very smoothly from now on.

From receiving an order to improving the factory production line, and finally to actual production and sales, it will still take considerable time. Therefore, Luca can certainly continue to further weigh and improve the aspects of encryption and manufacturing costs.

That's enough about that.

At this moment, Luca calmly took the 'Dominator Beta 1.2' out of the black briefcase and displayed it flat in his palm.

Of course, Luca's actions made it impossible for everyone present to see the weapon clearly.

Luca raised his hand, grabbed at the 'Dominator Beta 1.2' pistol in mid-air, and then tossed it forward.

The next moment, blue light flashed on several machines next to him.

Immediately afterwards, a full-scale projection, identical to the gun in Luca's hand but magnified several times, rapidly materialized out of thin air in front of everyone.

Holographic projection technology, even with lag-free touch operation.

In the real world, this kind of thing hasn't been truly realized even after more than a decade.

However, in the Marvel universe, this is already considered standard equipment for top scientists.

Even within S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Academy, specifically established to train talent for Hydra, there is a dedicated course called Holographic Engineering, designed to help research-oriented agents better master the use of such equipment.

Fortunately, thanks to the technical support from Harlow's "Big Daddy", Luca was finally able to experience the equipment first.

As expected, many inexperienced individuals were slightly shocked by Luca's sudden move.

However, Luca did not stop what he was doing despite the astonishment of the people.

He simply picked up his 'Dominator Beta 1.2' and began to introduce it.

"As many of you probably know, my father dedicated himself to creating a groundbreaking energy weapon. And this is the ion energy gun, forged based on his vision."

"I will name it—The Orderer!"

Yes, considering that the primary target audience for this weapon is state police, Luca, after much deliberation, decided to abandon the original name 'Dominator'.

Perhaps in the original work, such a name carries various metaphors for the dystopian world, but as a product, Luca obviously has to consider protecting his client's reputation and avoiding unnecessary impact.

As Luca gave his brief explanation, the enormous blue projection changed continuously.

At this point, many people had already realized what was going on.

"Isn't this the weapon that was circulating online a while ago?!"

"No wonder he looked familiar; it turns out that the guy in the video is the Orange family boy!"

"What video?"

The online video these people are referring to is, of course, the one where Luca blew up a dump truck with a single shot using the [Dominator].

However, the Battle of New York had only just ended, and the public's attention was more focused on the Avengers and aliens. In addition, Luca had the public help to suppress the news, so the actual spread was not very wide, and most of the videos that appeared online were blurred.

However, with the physical object now available for comparison, it has been recalled by some people who have been following this news.

However, Justin Hammer, who was in the corner, was not focused on Luca's subsequent introduction.

Instead, he looked at Heinrich beside him with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Heh~ The Order Keepers? That's quite in line with your ideals, isn't it?"
