Howard sent an invitation from the top, and everyone turned their attention to the front of the stage. "7 Points" "7 Small "7 Says, ∞x.c

This situation was not what Eric wanted to see. He made a small mistake here: he forgot that a man who was about to go to the battlefield would have a different mindset than usual, so when Bucky staggered, he was exposed without reservation.

"It seems that there is a buried inventor here. I am honored to meet this gentleman. Let's listen to his opinion, okay?" Howard took the opportunity to pick up the microphone and teased. When his voice fell, laughter suddenly broke out in the exhibition hall.

Bucky gave Eric a sorry look, and Eric shrugged and walked to the stage by himself.

The host of the exhibition was waiting for him there. Like his son, Mr. Stark also paid great attention to his image. He was wearing a black formal outfit, with a bow of the same color as his coat above the white shirt, his black and shiny hair combed neatly, and the mustache on his lips added a bit of maturity to the rich man in his thirties.

However, Eric felt that Tony looked more pleasing than his father, at least there was no disdain hidden in Iron Man's eyes.

"What's the name?" Howard looked at him and asked casually.

"Eric." Eric said his name, and naturally took the microphone from the other party, and then faced the audience.

"Everyone," he said to the people in the audience. "First of all, I want to declare that my friends and I have no idea of ​​despising Mr. Stark's creativity. As we all know, many great discoveries in the history of science and technology have inspired in very small details, just like Mendeleev discovered the periodic table of chemical elements in his dream. Copernicus saw that sails always emerged from sea level to realize that the earth was spherical, and the amazing Columbus, the discoverer of the continent under our feet was the first to find a way to stand up the eggs. These discoveries did not seem difficult. But only after they broke through first, people's understanding of the essence of things had been completely changed, so I respect Mr. Stark very much."

There were some sporadic applauses in the audience, but there were also booings, and some people were dissatisfied with not seeing the good show.

"Thank you for your explanation, Eric." Howard snatched the microphone back and smiled slightly sarcastically. "It seems that my eggshell or something else is worth."

He was about to make another high statement and completely overturn the person who dared to challenge publicly, but suddenly there was a burst of exclamation from the audience. He hurriedly turned around. The car that was about to load the wheels behind him was touched. A sharp spark appeared on the body of the car and fell from the suspended state to the ground.

"I said I would have to wait a few more years." Howard's face was filled with a smile due to this small accident.

Without the interruption in the middle, the audience would only be impressed by his urgent intelligence and give him a louder applause than before. However, after Bucky and Eric interrupted, people's attention decreased, and the applause decreased accordingly. Some viewers chuckled below, with a bit of mockery in their laughter.

Just like Bucky, not everyone likes Stark. When he is shrouded in the glory of genius and rich people. He has never been touched by obvious failures, he is an intelligent superman and has good reason to be admired by the world.

But the closer it is to perfection, the less harm it cannot withstand. Failure is like a stain on white paper. When it is surrounded by turbid mud, naturally no one will expect it, but change the background and put it on the pure white paper, it will immediately become so annoying.

Howard is now in this embarrassing state. He is like a demigod who is about to ascend to the clouds. He is enjoying the worship of the believers, but suddenly falls to the ground. Not only does his shining golden body be broken, but the originally devout believer also began to look at him with suspicion, guessing whether there is anything unknown behind the magic.

This situation cannot be allowed to develop, otherwise there will be rumors in the newspaper tomorrow that are unfavorable to the company. Howard understands this. When he sees someone below starts whispering, he immediately decides to find someone to turn everyone's attention away.

This person is close to you.

"Everyone, I believe you have seen many inventions at the exhibition. They touch on all aspects of future life. Although many technologies are not mature yet, daring to fantasize is the foundation of human progress. Science is fair to human beings. It has nothing to do with identity. The spark of inspiration exists between you and me. As long as you dare to pursue it, it will be rewarded--I have always believed in this. I am very happy that another gentleman has embarked on the same path today. No matter what his origin is, we should welcome him." Howard said enthusiastically, and then waved his arm to Eric.

"Next, let's welcome Mr. Eric and see what surprises he brings to us."

Howard's words made no noise to excuse his mistakes, but also narrowed the distance between science and ordinary people. At the same time, they pushed Eric, who was disrupting the situation. When the audience's enthusiastic cheers sounded again, he withdrew from the lights at the right time and walked to the backstage. Now it was Eric's turn to experience his feelings just now.

"It's amazing." The curtain separated the lights and the sound outside weakened. Howard walked to the dim corner in a bad mood, glanced at his subordinates one by one and said. "I only sadly discovered after setting up the stage that the only star on the stage was not Howard. Can anyone tell me where this guy came from?"

The assistants looked at each other, and no one knew who was the one who was disrupting the situation. They slipped out with relief until a voice sounded from outside.

"That's Eric Lee, a new immigrant from the old continent, the one who has been paying attention to the Advanced Research Projects Bureau recently. It seems that you have met your opponent Howard." A man of the same age walked in from outside. He was tall, sharp eyes, but had few hairs and a slightly bald head.

"Do you know him, Obadai?" Howard asked to people.

"Obady Stein is now Stark's most important partner. He nodded and answered when he heard the question.

"It is because of him that the Ministry of Defense has just canceled the company's fuse business, and our new products have become outdated designs when they are still on the drawings."

"What a bad news," Howard commented, walking to the edge and looking out, where Eric is now expressing his opinion.

"Thanks to Mr. Stark's kindness, please let me perform some magic tricks for you." In the strong light, Eric faced nearly a thousand audiences without any cramping expression. He smiled calmly and expressed his views. Without introducing his identity, people can tell from his temperament that this is not a small person who longs to become famous in the remote countryside. The confidence revealed from the inside out forms a strong aura, which attracts the attention of the audience like a magnet.

"Magic magic is divided into different types. Some use the characteristics of the visual system, which is to deceive people's senses, and some work at the cognitive level. The principles of this part of the magic can be explained in scientific language rather than just a skill, just like Mr. Stark's anti-gravity car today. What I want to achieve is another effect. What I want to show to the big one is also related to the invisible force field. For example, I can make an object float on the spot. This object does not need to be treated specifically, nor does it require strict requirements. As long as it is suitable for you, you can do anything."

He said, and looked at the audience, as if he was looking for someone in the crowd, and soon he got the answer he wanted.

"Before the performance, I need an assistant, beautiful lady, can I ask you to help on stage?"

Pointing to the female agent on the other side, Eric said to Miss Carter below the stage.

The people next to her looked over, and the female officer wanted to refuse, but someone later made a decision for her.

"Promise him." Dr. Erskine appeared beside her and whispered to suggest. Steve stood on the other side of him. The little man was surprised to see that his friend who was visiting with him replaced the owner of the exhibition standing on the stage.

"Okay." Since the doctor has returned to protection, Carter did not refuse his proposal. She swung her waist and walked to the stage, approaching Eric and whispering to threaten.

"If I dare to use small moves to deceive people, I will be the first to expose you."

She said viciously, not noticing that her voice was heard through the microphone in the other party's hand.

"I believe everyone has heard that this lady is not with me, so everyone does not need to be suspicious of the authenticity." Eric turned around at the right time and used her words to further enhance her persuasion. The crowd below burst into laughter.

Just like a magician, a scientific exhibition also requires certain skills. If you want the public to understand your ideas, in addition to being proficient in academics, you should also be an outstanding performer. Use outstanding performances to make the audience remember what you want to express, or intentionally make the audience see or cannot see certain parts and phenomena, so that the audience can focus all their attention on you and not take it away for a second.

At this point, Eric undoubtedly did what Howard could not do. Although he was not famous in this era and did not take out a display, the audience believed that he was looking up at a rising scientist.

In this process, Carter's appearance also reinforced this impression from another aspect.

One is a mysterious inventor who can squeeze the genius Howard into the backstage, and the other is a young and beautiful female officer. It seems that the two of them have a somewhat indescribable relationship, which makes everyone present unable to help but develop associations in their minds.
