When Eric returned to New York again, only Ivan Vanko followed.
Anton Vanko wanted to come, and Eric and Ivan also wanted him to come, but unfortunately he couldn't come. He committed the crime of espionage. No country would welcome a person who has committed the crime of espionage into the country. Even if Eric paid the relevant departments, Anton would be treated as a key surveillance target. Such a situation is not good for anyone.
As for Juggernaut and Sammy, they were sent by Eric to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters along with more than 100 freshmen to Professor X..
Just after returning to the company, Eric held an emergency meeting and announced an important decision to form the Aerospace Department.
This decision made everyone stunned, what kind of trouble is this? We are a railway repairer, and we even sell some sunscreen, and now we build spaceships now? Isn't this step a little too big?.
Everyone made a speech, hoping that Eric could focus on the maglev train project, but Eric had his own plans and defied all opinions. In the afternoon, the Aerospace Department was established, with Ivan Vanko as the department director.
.
The Hammer of Skadi is a huge threat. If he does not take some corresponding measures, Eric feels that he will have trouble sleeping. The main reason for setting up the Aerospace Department is to deal with the crisis of The Serpent.
The Serpent is the God of Fear, and it can enhance its ability by consuming the fear of human beings. As long as the fear continues, the serpent will have a steady stream of energy. In the ultimate universe, Odin even planned to blow up the earth directly in order to deal with the serpent, which is something Eric will never allow to happen!
So he has to do something.
Electromagnetic pulses of a specific frequency can stimulate the pituitary gland and other parts of the human brain and inhibit the production of emotional hormones. Eric is now playing very smoothly. In his conception, as long as there are enough electromagnetic pulse generators covering the world, then they can suppress the emotions of all people on earth at the same time, so that human beings can temporarily forget their fears.
Without fear, the serpent would have no source of power and could be killed in minutes.
The only option for electromagnetic pulsers that can cover the world is satellites.

Winter comes and spring comes, and a year has passed in a flash.
Eric's villa in the southern suburbs of New York was finally completed and moved in just before Christmas '93.
The maglev train line from New York to Washington has started in full swing. The start of this line has brought hundreds of thousands of jobs to the U.S. government and greatly relieved the employment pressure of American youth.
The head of the White House was delighted and placed another order for Alice Industries, from Chicago to Washington, with a total length of 1,100 kilometers and an investment of 80 billion US dollars.
The stock of Alice Industries has skyrocketed again, and American railway companies are anxious, and jointly signed a petition to sue Alice Industries for violating the antitrust law.
Then, it was a long lawsuit and wrangling. Eric dismissed it all and handed it over to Jennifer to deal with it. If he couldn't handle it, he called General Ross. General Ross had enough connections to settle these troubles. Of course, he also has enough reasons to help Alice Industries. In just one year, the money Alice Industries helped him get from the Ministry of Defense was enough to build a 1,000-kilometer maglev train line!
The metal prosthesis jointly developed by Stark Industries and Alice Industries was officially released, and it attracted a lot of attention on the day of the release. Tony Stark once again made a show.
The military paid great attention to this product. At least ten generals appeared at the press conference. After the press conference, the military placed orders directly, not by piece, but by year. Within five years, anyone who was disabled for the country, the Soldiers, can all install metal prosthetics for free, and then continue to serve. As for the previously disabled soldiers, they can also apply to the government for installation, but then you need to wait in line.
The weapons department of Alice Industries was successfully established, and the sonic weapon was successfully developed in only half a year. Because of the need to use a lot of electricity, the originally planned sonic gun was not successful, but was changed to a sonic chariot. The sonic weapon was installed on the roof of the car, and looked like a radar car. After watching the prototype car, Eric's mouth twitched. Isn't this the one that bombed that green monster?
Compared with the success of sonic weapons, individual electromagnetic guns have encountered a lot of trouble.
The most important thing is the energy problem. The electromagnetic gun needs a lot of electric energy. If you want to give the electromagnetic gun on an individual soldier, with the current technology, they can only use battery, but the size of the battery directly affects the size and weight of the weapon. This is a seesaw that restricts each other, and the Arms Department can only find a balance between the two.
Eric did not intend to compromise on the power supply. He immediately formed the Department of Energy and divided it into two teams. One team specialized in graphene power supply. With his advanced technology reserves, it was only a matter of the number of experiments to develop a finished product. The second team, led by Ivan Vanko, studied the drawings of the Ark reactor from Anton.
.
For the sake of the Ark reactor, Ivan Vanko even resigned as the director of the aerospace department and devoted himself to the research of the reactor, just to compete with Tony Stark.
The company is on the right track. Eric's daily job is to read the report, sign it, and occasionally go to the laboratory to do some research. The life is very comfortable, but it makes him feel extremely bored.
On this day, Eric sat listlessly in the office again to check the new report from the Finance Department. A sales report caught Eric's attention.
The UV shielding device, this very tasteless product, has only a few orders after it was launched. The sales volume in a few months has not exceeded 10,000 units, and at least 80% of it is contributed by Alexander.
However, since June last year, the sales of UV shielding instruments have actually started to grow wildly. At the most, tens of thousands of units is being sold in one day.
What is this? Could it be the Alexander?
Call Jennifer, 'I don't know'
Call the treasurer, 'I don't know'
Called the sales executive, 'I don't understand...'
Eric asked around over and over, but no one knew what was going on.
Eric expressed his understanding for the inadequacy of the employees and did not go too deep into it as he knew that they don't care with that product, However, this still had to be investigated. This thing could be related to his next plan, so he should not be careless.
But where to check? This thing has been scattered since it was listed, and it is sold through various channels. Unlike a certain cat in Europe and the United States, a real-name system is required to buy something.
"Mr. Eric, two black gentlemen are visiting, saying they are your friends."
A phone call from the front desk interrupted Eric's thoughts. Eric raised his eyebrows, and the magnetic field induction spread down, "Nick Fury? How dare this stubborn guy call me his friend?.
