Chapter 96: Science still has to make sense, it's not magic [Seventh update, please subscribe]
This result is consistent with what Lin Feng said about his life and death experience in Afghanistan. After all, if he had not been hit by the bomb and had so many shrapnel on his body, he would not have ended up like this.
Moreover, those small fragments should be very difficult to deal with. Then he asked Jarvis to make some deductions based on the current level of medical technology. The result of the deduction was that if his body was full of those small shrapnel, the success rate of the operation would be very low and he might die.
After deducing this, he understood why he behaved like this in another timeline and why he acted so crazy.
Because left means death, right means death, there is no way to survive.
So, this can be considered as the madness before death.
He was a little relieved and a little scared. Fortunately, he believed what was written in Lin Feng's diary and did not go to Afghanistan. Otherwise, even if he did not die, he would have to face torture day and night.
Thinking of this, he hated Obaday even more!
This guy relies on his elder status to do such dirty things behind my back.
But according to what was written in Lin Feng's diary, if he had not gone through this experience, if he had not experienced the near-death situation of palladium poisoning, would his awareness have been lowered?
Impossible, that must be impossible.
While the scene was still going on, the scene changed and Tony Stark, who had just finished a fight, was sitting on a huge donut-shaped building, eating a donut, as if he didn't care about what had just happened.
It makes people doubt his mental state. Could there really be some sudden change?
Anyway, to Tony Stark, every frame of this scene is a dark history.
As far as he can remember, the Stark family had already become rich. He was a genuine second-generation rich man, not a nouveau riche. He had also received formal etiquette training. Although he was rebellious and loved to show off, it did not mean that he was a psychopath.
But the guy in the video now seems to have completely given up on himself, probably because he knows he is going to die.
Tony Stark was also found by Nick Fury and Black Widow Natasha. The two came to the restaurant, and Tony Stark said directly: "I don't want to join your Superman boy group!"
Nick Fury smiled and said, "I remember you did everything yourself. How did it turn out?"
"The result... the result..." Iron Man was speechless. After a moment of silence, he said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to cause you to misunderstand, but should I look at your eye patch or your eyes? To be honest, I'm a little hungover. I'm not sure if you're real or just an illusion!"
"I'm a real person. I'm the most real person you've ever met!" Nick Fury said, speaking word by word through his gritted teeth.
"I'm so lucky, what about the staff here?"
Tony Stark looked around and tried to change the subject.
Nick Fury took the opportunity to point at Tony Stark's neck, which was already covered with dense lines.
"You don't look good!"
It was only then that everyone realized that Tony Stark's palladium poisoning seemed to have reached a level that was incurable.
"I've had worse!" Tony Stark said nonchalantly.
Of course, maybe he just doesn't seem to care.
At this moment, an enchanting figure slowly walked over.
"I've cleared the entire area, but it's best not to take too long!" a woman's voice came.
The camera turned, and Iron Man took off his glasses in astonishment. Then he looked and saw a beautiful woman with a curvy figure. It was none other than Natasha, the Black Widow.
"You're fired!"
The Iron Man in the image said this with a slightly drunk look on his face.
"That's not up to you to decide!" Black Widow smiled and sat next to Nick Fury.
But Nick Fury next to him smiled and said, "Tony, this is Agent Romanoff!"
"Hi!" Tony Stark rubbed his head, as if he was still trying to determine whether the person in front of him was real or fake, and the aftereffects of a hangover were clearly evident.
"I'm an undercover agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. When we knew you were sick, Director Fury sent me to observe you!" Black Widow explained.
Iron Man said with an unpleasant expression: "You'd better apologize to me!"
Black Widow didn't answer. Nick Fury beside her said, "You've been very busy. You appointed Pepper Potts as CEO, gave your property away, and even let your friend fly away in an iron armor. If I didn't understand the situation..."
"I didn't give it to him, he stole it!" Tony Stark immediately retorted.
"Wooooo, what? He took it away?"
Nick Fury said with an exaggerated expression: "You are Iron Man, and he just took it away like that? He beat you up and then took away your iron armor? Is that possible?"
Nick Fury looked at the Black Widow next to him and asked loudly.
Black Widow smiled slightly and mercilessly exposed it, saying, "According to Mr. Stark's security procedure system, unauthorized use can be avoided!"
Tony Stark outside the screen was also a little embarrassed. Although he knew that this was most likely the reality and that he deliberately let Rhodes go and let him take the armor away, it was still a bit embarrassing to say it directly in front of others.
"Natasha, you have a really sharp tongue, even sharper than mine!" Tony Stark complained.
"No, I'm still not as good as you!" Natasha said with a slight smile. "You are Lin Feng's official venomous tongue."
At this moment, in the picture, Nick Fury immediately turned his attention back to Iron Man.
"What do you want me to do?" Tony Stark asked.
"What do I want you to do? No, no, no, I should say, what do you want me to do!" Nick Fury said. "You are now becoming a problem that I need to deal with!"
"You might be mistaken. My world doesn't revolve around you. There are bigger problems in the Southwest that I need to deal with," Nick Fury said angrily. "Hit him!"
At this time, Black Widow took out an injection and gave Tony Stark an injection in the neck.
"Are you going to sell my kidney?" Tony Stark was confused, but he didn't stop talking.
At this moment, the three people outside the screen discovered that the veins on Iron Man's neck bulged, and those dense blue veins disappeared in a short time and returned to normal.
"What did she just do to me?" Tony Stark felt much better.
Nick Fury sighed and said, "We're doing this for your own good! That's lithium dioxide, it can alleviate your condition. We want you to get back to work!"
Tony Stark sighed and said, "Give me two more boxes and I'll be fine!"
He was not very happy, because he still had a way to alleviate the palladium poisoning. The problem was that he could not leave the Ark Reactor, and as long as the Ark Reactor was in his body, he would continue to suffer from palladium poisoning.
"That's not an antidote. It can only relieve your symptoms. It's not easy to cure you!" Nick Fury looked at Tony Stark and said.
"Believe me, I know, I understand the situation. I have been looking for alternative elements to palladium. I have tried every combination of every element!" Tony Stark said seriously.
Nick Fury smiled and said, "I'm here to tell you, you haven't tried them all!"
Tony Stark in the picture suddenly stood up and stared at Nick Fury. This was his area of expertise. Why did this dumb guy in front of him say that about him?
"Want to know? Let's talk somewhere else!"
Nick Fury said with a small smile.
The scene changed, and the two had returned to Tony Stark's mansion. The mansion was in a mess, with ruins everywhere.
"That thing on your chest is based on unfinished technology!"
Nick Fury said in the picture.
"No, it's a finished product!"
Tony Stark immediately retorted that he would not allow anyone to tarnish his great work.
"It only worked after I shrunk it down!"
"No!" Nick Fury shook his head. "Your father said the arc reactor was just a stepping stone to something even greater. He was planning an energy race that would leave all his rivals in the dust. His dreams were even bigger. A nuclear reactor would be like an AA battery in comparison!"
"Is it just him? Anton Vanko is also involved!" Tonysta said casually after pouring some wine.
He had looked up information before and naturally knew some things about Anton Vanke. It seemed that the events of that year were covered up by someone, but from some fragmentary information, he still deduced the truth, which was that Anton Vanke might have cooperated with his father, but later he was expelled from the United States for some unknown reason.
That's why Ivan Vanko was able to produce products similar to the Ark Reactor.
"Anton Vanko was like the other side of the coin. He thought it was a way to get rich. When your father found out, he deported him. When the Russian government realized he couldn't deliver, they exiled him to Siberia!" Nick Fury explained. "And then he's been living a life of debauchery for the past twenty years. It's not good for a child. The one you met in Monaco was his son!"
Except for Nick Fury who knew what was going on, everyone else outside the screen was confused, especially Tony Stark, who had no idea what the hidden story was.
Well, this seems to involve the Ark Reactor, but the original sketch of the Ark Reactor was indeed drafted by his father Howard Stark, who later improved it and produced the final product.
Just as Lin Feng said, his father was limited by the technology of the time and was unable to produce it.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible for me to develop, design and produce the Ark Reactor in such a short time.
After all, science still has to make sense, it's not magic.
