Superman, the Man of Steel, female, 6 years old!

After a standard baseball home run.

The rocks that fell from the sky were smashed to pieces by the huge iron shovel that swung by like an afterimage. The crushed stone debris rained down like raindrops on the ground dozens of meters ahead.

“So flexible!”

After putting down the big shovel in his hand, Mai Mai directed the robotic arm to cross his fingers and stretch his palm outward while speaking to Anna.

"Of course! If the fingers of this robotic arm weren't so thick, it might even be able to open beer bottles..." Anna boasted proudly to the little beauty.

If Mai Mai hadn't known about it long ago, her robotic arm and control system would basically be copied from Iron Man, with some modifications.

Seeing how proud the little brat is now, people who don’t know would think that this thing is Anna’s original creation.

"Well, I told you this thing could do my work, didn't it?" Anna said with a smug look. The main reason they built this 2.0 version of the steel behemoth was to replace Anna's "heavy labor" on the construction site.

After all, as the project progresses, not to mention the dust, there will also be cement dust, the noise of concrete mixers and electric drills...

Anna, who has always had a mild obsession with cleanliness and super senses, is not very willing to work on the construction site anymore.

While she was in California, she worked at a construction site moving bricks for a few days.

But Tesla's construction site at the time was full of giant steel structures and wall panels produced in the factory, not to mention that the sanitary conditions were always good.

Even the noise wasn't as horrible as the huge pit being dug on her farm.

If the Tesla construction site and her current farm were really swapped, Anna would not go there to work even if Lao Ma offered her ten times the salary.

Although the 2.0 version of the steel behemoth they created is a little heavier, its pushing, pulling, and grabbing capabilities have reached an impressive 50 tons.

Coupled with its flexibility, speed and load-bearing capacity, it is like a cheat compared to previous mechanical crabs.

Such qualities are very suitable for a steel behemoth born to work in mines and construction sites.

Such a giant steel machine can do as much work on the construction site as twenty or thirty traditional excavators and bulldozers.

But of course, even without counting the vibranium that Anna mixed into the robotic arm, there is also the technical value of Iron Monger's arm.

She had spent nearly $500 million on this steel behemoth over the past few days. The price alone was far greater than what twenty or thirty traditional excavators could match.

Why did Anna and the others make a mechanical crab at the beginning instead of the current 2.0 version of the steel behemoth?

In fact, in addition to verifying their previous designs and their practicality, the main reason was that the little kids didn't have much money at the time.

The $200 million I borrowed from my mother at that time was not enough to build the 2.0 version of the steel behemoth.

Chapter 093: Iron men, the more the better.

a few days later.

In front of Anna's barn, three 2.0 version steel behemoths were built and lined up in a row.

Next to these three brand new steel behemoths, there are the chassis of two other heavy mining vehicles, and two sets of spare parts shipped by the sales company are piled on the ground.

Because the technology is mature, there is no need for trial and error with parts, and for experimental purposes, these three new steel behemoths are slightly cheaper than their predecessors.

However, these three newly built 2.0 version behemoths cost Anna a total of 1200 million US dollars.

Although there are still parts of two steel behemoths on the ground that have not been assembled, and after the design of these two machines has been optimized, the cost has been reduced by tens of thousands of dollars.

However, the current cost of this thing is still extremely expensive for Anna, who has been poor for decades.

This made her, a little kid who had never seen so much money before, feel a pang of pain in her heart.

……

But no matter how expensive this thing is, for Anna, it is necessary to make a batch of these giant steel beasts to display at home.

She had already planned this when she designed the layout of the underground base.

There are four entrances and passages in the east, south, west and north.

Behind the gate of each base, a team of these cool and powerful people would be ambushed, in the narrow and uncovered entrance passages of the underground base...

Ten of these 260-ton, four-story-high steel giants are crammed into the entrance passage of each base.

Tsk tsk! ~

When this thing is activated, just thinking about it makes Anna have to observe a two-second silence for the enemies who attacked her underground base.

So even though Anna still felt a pain in her chest when she took out the money, she still had to spend it.

Anyway, in her plan, these strong men can help her work on the construction site in the early stage and build various super projects for her.

After she learned the miniaturization technology of the Ark reactor, she could also transform and upgrade these steel behemoths.

After the all-electric 3.0 version.

These 4-story base 'gatekeepers' can hide behind the base's gate in secret, quietly take up their posts with their certificates, and start their leisurely security work.

But now, these four diesel-powered steel men are sent to the construction site to work for themselves and meet deadlines.

Their main function now is actually to allow Anna to brush up on technical points and provide proficiency in manufacturing these machines.

Another thing is to ask Anna to find ways to mass produce and reduce costs.

Otherwise, if it really remains the same as it is now, with a cost price of about 400 million per unit...

As for Anna now, she really can't afford to buy many of these four-story-high machines.

These steel-clad hunks on wheels were essential to Anna's plan, and the more the better. The 40 planned for the base's gates simply weren't enough.

It would be even better if Anna's team could have hundreds or thousands of machines in two years.

Under normal circumstances, the steel behemoths under Anna can form an engineering team to build various underground bases for themselves and other superheroes.

By the time of the Chitauri and Avengers 3, these tough guys could pick up machetes that were more than ten meters long, and iron shields that weighed several tons, and charge into battle and act as human shields...

Even though they are cannon fodder that would be destroyed by a heavy bomb, these steel men are still very good at pretending to be a bunker on the ground after being destroyed.

And since the target is cannon fodder like Thanos's biochemical beasts, the more the better for Anna.

Otherwise, when Avengers 3 comes, Anna will still have to rely on the black guys in Wakanda to protect the earth with machetes.

Then she, a time traveler, would really be too embarrassed to face anyone.

……

After starting to increase investment in her underground base and building these four steel behemoths, Anna finally understood why most superheroes were so poor.

Anna hasn't even started to go out and do justice yet. She has already spent all the money on the construction of her underground base and the current 260-ton "guards".

The US dollars flowed out like running water...

If I really go out and do good deeds in the future.

There's the daily maintenance of the underground base, paying the water and electricity bills, and also the wear and tear and replacement of superhero equipment...

With such a huge expense, ordinary superheroes simply cannot afford it.

Like Anna now, in addition to spending more than 2000 million US dollars on purchasing parts for six steel behemoths, she also spent money on purchasing building materials for the underground base and leasing equipment.

In just a few days, she spent nearly $5000 million.

It is visibly evident that more than one-third of the $200 million in infrastructure funds is missing.

According to the analysis of the accountant hired by Lorraine's mother, if she wants to complete the construction of this base, she will have to invest another 50 to 60 million yuan.

This does not even include the cost of expanding her team of tough guys in the future.

If she hired a reliable mercenary company with this much money, it would be enough for her to overthrow a small country and then comfortably start mining.

……

Anna's wallet is empty and her heart is empty. The little money she has...

All of them are borrowed.

So when the person in charge of the construction site came to her with a long bill one day later, Anna was about to explode.

The four tough guys he put on the construction site had bigger appetites than each other. Although they were hardworking and highly efficient, they could even carry 50-ton objects and have fun on the construction site.

However, these four strong men are dragging a body weighing 260 tons, and each of them consumes an average of 300 liters of diesel per hour when running.

Adding to that the total of all the other construction machinery, Anna would have to pay more than 537819336 US dollars for the diesel burned every day.

These are just four tough guys, there are also some traditional excavators on the construction site.

If they could get a few more tough guys out, and if the Chitauri could hold out in New York for a few more minutes...

Then An will go bankrupt on the spot.

Therefore, upgrading them to all-electric 3.0 technology immediately has become Anna's top priority.

Time flies. This book has been uploaded for more than a month and the number of words has reached 20.

There were many problems with the game, which resulted in most of the first 18 chapters being revised again after being uploaded.

Not only did they abandon the early plot direction, but they also changed a lot of settings.

The end result was that both the readers and myself were overwhelmed by the early plot, and a lot of the interludes were deleted.

But I have come here anyway, and I still want to fulfill my dream of becoming an author.

I think the reason why most online writers are still writing books is that most of them are like me, wanting to write down what they think about day and night, and wanting to share their stories with others.

Maybe readers feel that reading a book is just a quick glance.

But I have indeed tried my best in writing, looked up a lot of information, and described the world in my heart.

Well, this book is on the shelves today.

In order to fill my stomach and not starve to death on the roadside.

I can only ask readers who are satisfied with the story to subscribe and vote more! !

I hope that readers who are able to do so can support me by giving me a first order. My expectations are not high, as long as it exceeds 100, because the daily recommendation votes are too poor.

There is also a routine system of adding more chapters, for every 200 recommendation votes, every 50 monthly votes, every 50 rewards, or every 50 blades, an additional chapter will be added.

Finally, thank you all for your long-term support.

Chapter 094 Anton Vanko in Siberia

Three days passed in a flash. After Anna assembled the chassis and robotic arms of the other two heavy mining trucks that were still spare parts at home, she set out to look for the technology for the Ark reactor.

Anna left Maimai at home to look after the house and waited for her to come back after exploring the route. After getting an address from Lorraine's mother, she hurried out with a bag of things.

Following the Lena River in Russian Siberia all the way north, Anna turned back east at the confluence of the Vilyui River and finally found the current address of Vanke's home at the foot of a mountain about 20 kilometers away from the confluence of the two rivers.

Following a simple rut along the river, bypassing a gravel beach, and passing through patches of coniferous forest, Anna finally arrived in front of a gray-white reinforced concrete building according to the precise GPS.

In front of the concrete building full of Soviet style, a hunched old man was waiting there.

The old man had a mess of sparse blond hair, his elbows pressed against his waist, his right hand stretched outward. The old man's body was obviously covered with a lot of old injuries, and his legs and feet were limping.

The fingers of the hands tucked at the waist would clench and unclench nervously and uncontrollably from time to time.

The hunched old man couldn't even stand up straight. He stared at Anna with his white eyes for two minutes, then led the little kid into the concrete building behind him without saying a word.

Unlike the crowded, dark and narrow cabin in the movie, this one looks like a concrete building of a mine command center from the Soviet era, and its objective conditions are much better.

But the good ones are limited, which is the difference between upgrading from a garbage dump to a coffin room.

There was a fireplace made of rubble in the corner. No flames were rising in the fireplace now. The black ashes and the cold hearth stood there like a scene from a horror movie.

Two large beds were placed haphazardly in a corner of the room.

The best place in the whole house was the large reinforced concrete workbench in the center, which was filled with various tools that Anna couldn't understand, as well as a large number of half-finished machines.

"Well... don't you guys want to improve your lives, Mr. Anton Vanke?" After just routinely scanning with her super vision, Anna felt a toothache.

This house is almost the same as it was decades ago. It has not undergone any modern renovations and does not have sofas, air conditioners, floor heating, kotatsu, and other great creations that can improve human happiness.

Even an Ark Reactor in the basement was only responsible for providing lighting for the house and powering the tools and equipment on the workbench.
