Iron Man's Show?

"Ha-ha!"

Hearing the sarcasm in Li Wei's words, the entire venue burst into laughter.

Tony Stark's expression turned unpleasant as well, but he followed Li Wei's lead and confidently walked up onto the stage.

"You're right. Since you asked me to come up, here I am!"

He looked extremely confident—confident to the point of arrogance.

At this point, Tony Stark was extremely conceited. He believed his intelligence and talent were enough to solve any problem, showed no respect for authority, and was a complete playboy.

That was why Li Wei thought he was a terrible person.

He had wanted to communicate properly with Tony Stark, but that was simply impossible.

The man's emotional intelligence was unbelievably low!

When dealing with someone like that, you had to have even lower emotional intelligence than he did.

"Where's the spotlight? What's going on?"

For example, Tony Stark complained now that no one had given him his "main-character aura."

Only after the lights came on did he strut up onto the stage.

Li Wei then waved at Dr. Otto, who was ready to begin, signaling that he did not need to come up.

Li Wei's face was full of smiles. He could feel the traffic about to explode, and his Reputation Points were about to explode too.

With Tony Stark around, there would be traffic!

That was why he was exceptionally enthusiastic, forming a sharp contrast with Tony Stark's arrogance. Anyone would find him more approachable.

There was no helping it. People were judged by comparison.

"Can you see more clearly from here?"

Li Wei asked.

As expected, Tony Stark had no emotional intelligence. Even now, he refused to give Li Wei any face.

"Yes. Now I can expose your fraud."

Li Wei did not care. All he wanted was Tony Stark's traffic.

He handed the tablet in his hands to Tony and said, "Since you think it's fake, why don't you announce it yourself? You can also check whether the research procedures are complete. Then you'll be able to tell whether it's real or fake, right?"

Hearing Li Wei's words, the reporters below immediately erupted into an uproar.

The event was also being livestreamed online, though the internet speed at the time... well, anyone who knew, knew.

America was an extremely backward country when it came to the internet.

Why did no one play with their phones on the subway?

The answer was obvious: there was no signal, not because everyone had such good manners.

Therefore, Li Wei had not expected the livestream to generate much attention.

But he still underestimated the influence the two of them had.

The online buzz exploded as well.

"Mr. Li Wei, aren't you afraid that Mr. Stark will plagiarize your technology?"

A reporter immediately asked the question with remarkable bluntness.

Tony Stark instantly flew into a rage. "Are you saying I would plagiarize the technology of someone who never even attended college?"

"I graduated from MIT! What about him?"

Hearing Tony's words, Li Wei immediately laughed. "I graduated from Gariton University."

The crowd burst into laughter, leaving Tony furious.

He snatched the tablet from Li Wei's hands and read, "The product being presented at this press conference is..."

When he saw the item, Tony Stark's face filled with disdain. "A Brain-Computer Interface?"

"This thing might be possible, but it can't be done with current technology. And it carries enormous risks!"

He had intended to continue mocking it, but his scientific instincts were piqued. He immediately continued reading.

His expression changed at once.

The reporters noticed the change sharply and immediately began frantically pressing their camera shutters.

"Mr. Stark, what's wrong?"

"This..."

Sweat appeared on Tony Stark's forehead. After merely glancing through it, he realized that this might actually succeed...

No, not might. It was highly likely.

The data was extraordinarily comprehensive. It could even be said to represent a finished product!

"Where did you get this data?"

Tony Stark stared at Li Wei in disbelief.

If the data was really this close to a finished product, couldn't they just follow it and build the thing? What was the point of doing any more research?

Li Wei immediately smiled. "You didn't hear wrong. It's a Brain-Computer Interface."

"With a Brain-Computer Interface, everyone with an artificial limb will become just like a normal person—or even stronger!"

Li Wei had plenty of experience with press conferences and had studied many examples.

All kinds of data flowed effortlessly from his mouth.

"To research the Brain-Computer Interface, our laboratory conducted more than a billion simulations and produced roughly ten billion models, reducing the experimental error to 0.01 percent..."

The reason he mentioned so much data was to make it sound impressive and sincere.

As for whether they had actually done that much?

Tony Stark's expression said it all.

He looked as if he were thinking, You expect me to believe that?

But there was nothing he could do. Reporters loved this sort of thing, and the venue instantly filled with astonished gasps.

"The Brain-Computer Interface is undoubtedly a major advancement for human civilization. It can improve the body's physical capabilities. Especially in the future, all kinds of networked operations will become exceptionally smooth."

"..."

Li Wei continued speaking, while the screen conveniently enlarged images of the Brain-Computer Interface and displayed complete experimental diagrams.

For example, under the control of the Brain-Computer Interface, humans could freely control cars, aircraft, and other vehicles.

In reality, all of this was AI-generated video created by Red Queen.

Before long, news about the Brain-Computer Interface was spreading across the internet.

After Li Wei finished speaking, Tony Stark said, "This is just a PowerPoint presentation. Like I said, all you can do is make presentations. Do you have a finished product?"

Seeing the unconvinced look on Tony Stark's face, Li Wei immediately smiled. "Of course. I've been saying all along that our Future Technology is researching artificial intelligence."

"That works out perfectly. I've researched artificial intelligence too."

Tony Stark directly stole the spotlight. "JARVIS."

"Yes, sir!"

JARVIS's voice immediately rang out, and the reporters let out a chorus of impressed exclamations.

The voice was deep and magnetic, and it clearly took control of the entire venue. Following Tony Stark's instructions, it manipulated the lights, making the place seem to transform into a nightclub.

Yet Li Wei still wore a smile.

He seemed particularly happy to see this scene.

"Is this your artificial intelligence, Mr. Stark?"

Li Wei held out the microphone.

"Of course."

Tony Stark replied with undisguised pride, "This is the artificial intelligence butler I developed, JARVIS. It's highly intelligent, capable of autonomous learning and independent thought, and it also possesses powerful computational and analytical functions."

At this point, the press conference had practically become Tony Stark's show.

Although Tony had originally not wanted to reveal JARVIS, he no longer cared.

JARVIS also cooperated with him, adding a few humorous remarks.

When Tony Stark finished speaking, Li Wei immediately began applauding beside him.

The sound was extremely grating to Tony, so he spread his arms and asked, "What about your artificial intelligence?"

"She's already defeated JARVIS."

Li Wei smiled. "Red Queen."

"Master, I'm here."

As red light flickered, Red Queen appeared on the stage, radiating a crimson glow.

"Wow!"

The reporters below were stunned.

It was obvious at a glance that she was not a real person.
