Chapter 82: It's Magic!
"Proof it?"
Fortunately, Ethan was prepared, and after making a gesture that the other party should not be nervous, he slowly took out a small glass test tube from his jacket, containing a green liquid.
"You should know how to test the effects of this thing. ”
Tony took the small test tube from Ethan's hand, then turned and walked to his lab, where he stopped halfway through, turned around and waved at Ethan.
"You can come along, too. ”
Ethan didn't expect Tony to invite him into his lab, remembering that only a few people in his lab had access to it, and they were all Tony's closest friends. As for outsiders, they can't even get into Tony's house.
"Oh, what an honor. ”
He was interested in the lab where most of Iron Man's equipment was born, but the situation between him and Tony was still awkward, and he felt that if he wanted to change the situation, he would have to wait at least until he helped him solve the hidden physical problems.
"You took out the medicine you made so easily, I think you are very confident in your medicine. Even if your medicine doesn't alleviate my symptoms, we can talk about other techniques. ”
When Ethan heard this, he suddenly understood what Tony was thinking.
There are very few things that this prodigal person who has been wandering for half his life really can't let go, one is Virginia Potts, who is actually his girlfriend who is nominally an assistant, that is, Pepper Potts.
In addition, it is the Stark Industries Group, which was founded by his father.
The way Ethan left a message before and the way he appeared left a deep impression on Tony, perhaps in the eyes of this great inventor, Ethan used some kind of special technology that has not been publicly announced, so Ethan, who has this technology, whether it is developed and invented by himself or mastered this technology, is a very good potential stock.
Even if Ethan can't heal his body, Tony will enlist him to join Stark Group, so that after his death, the group will not fall into the dilemma of not having new technology.
It can be said that Tony is thinking from the standpoint of a pure businessman this time - of course, he is kinder to some talented young people than ordinary people, maybe it is the sympathy between geniuses?
Ethan, who figured all this out, didn't explain anything, anyway, he would tell Tony after a while that he didn't use some secret technology that had not yet been disclosed, it was purely magical ability, and by that time he had proven that he could solve his physical problems, and this little problem naturally didn't matter.
Entering the underground laboratory, where Tony used to make steel armor and other interesting gadgets, Ethan looked curiously left and right, then withdrew his gaze and followed Tony to the front of an operating table.
"Jarvis, testing the ingredients of the drug. ”
Tony took a special look at Ethan, and saw that Ethan signaled that he was free to give the order, and Jarvis's reply surprised him.
"It's a liquid with a lot of botanicals, and it's impossible to tell which plants they all come from, but there is a strange energy in it. ”
Tony was genuinely curious, although Jarvis was not a real artificial intelligence, he had almost all the knowledge stored in his database, which was convenient for him to assist in various researches, and now he told himself that he could not analyze the composition of the liquid? How is this possible? Unless the plants in it are not on Earth.
Glancing back at Ethan, the young man's path may not have been quite the same as he had expected.
"I don't have to think about the exact source, I use some materials that don't belong in this world. ”
It contains the antidote powder brought back from the Dark World, and Ethan upgraded it based on Akara's antidote recipe to make this medicine.
The detoxification effect is very strong, targeting almost all toxic substances that cause harm to the human body, which is why Tony's palladium poisoning can be treated.
It's just that Tony's words didn't attract Tony's attention, and maybe they were just casual nonsense from young people to cover up the true ingredients of his drugs.
He continued to test with his own blood and the medicine in his hand, and through Jarvis's test, the medicine provided by Ethan did remove the toxins from Tony's blood.
"So, this stuff really works. ”
Ethan didn't provide a large number of samples, but Tony was very careful when he experimented and only took out a few drops.
"Of course, why would I come to you otherwise?"
It wasn't Jarvis who answered, but Ethan, but after Ethan spoke, Jarvis still answered Tony's question faithfully: "According to calculations, you only need to take 500 milliliters of this liquid to completely remove all the toxins from your body." ”
Tony heard Jarvis's answer, so he put the test tube in his hand on the table, then took a deep breath and turned around to reach out and pat Ethan on the shoulder...... That's when he noticed that he was still wearing steel armor.
"Sorry, you know, the way you showed up was a little too ......"
Tony walked over to the specially made equipment, took off his steel armor, and then returned to Ethan: "Hello, introduce yourself, I'm Tony Stark. ”
"Hello, Mr. Stark, my name is Ethan. ”
In fact, Ethan had introduced himself in his previous message, but he was 100% sure that this proud genius definitely didn't take his name seriously, and all he could care about was a thing that was an ordinary stone no matter how it was detected, how did he leave a hologram message?
"Ethan?
"It's just Ethan, you can think I don't have a last name. ”
"Okay!"
Tony didn't mind this kind of thing, although Ethan's name was the same as the one he remembered, it wasn't a special name, and I don't know how many people in the world called it, so he didn't have any special feelings.
"So, I'd like to hear what price you want to sell?"
Ethan smiled and pointed to the remaining potion next to him: "Mr. Tony Stark, potions like this don't matter much to me, and the deal I'm here to negotiate with you isn't this." ”
"Oh?" Tony tilted his head and looked at the young man in front of him, he saw confidence in the young man's face, as if he had settled on himself, "So you want to talk to me about something else?"
"It's not technology, Mr. Stark...... Do you think it's really safe to keep the drug clean of toxins? Don't forget that the human body is resistant to drugs. ”
Antidotes can also cause resistance, and if used frequently, the effectiveness of antidotes will deteriorate with the number of uses. At that time, you can either improve and strengthen the antidote, or choose other means to treat your body.
As a genius scientist with a super high IQ, Tony Stark certainly knows this, he thinks that after buying the antidote prescription, he can rely on his extraordinary wisdom to continue to improve, even if he can never remove the Ark reactor on his chest, he doesn't have to worry about being poisoned by the palladium element in the reactor.
"So, do you have any suggestions? Ethan?"
"I suggest you remove this device from your chest completely. ”
Tony shook his head, he thought Ethan would make some constructive suggestion. It was not that he had not considered removing the Ark reactor, but he had consulted many experts, and the conclusions he had reached were not satisfactory to him. The success rate of the surgery was very low, so he never made up his mind to go for more thorough treatment.
Perhaps, when he can't resist the day, he will choose to fight, but it is far from that extent.
"I mean, I'm sure I've got rid of the hidden danger in your body, so you can remove the reactor from your chest. ”
"Oh?"
At this point, Tony finally became interested, and then thought about the technology that Ethan used when he appeared.
"Is it a new medical technology?"
If so, Stark Industries can fully participate in the investment in development and popularization, medical equipment will always be the most profitable industry, after the closure of the weapons department, Stark Industries does need a new profit growth point.
The famous Iron Man is constantly switching back and forth between the roles of scientist, patient, and businessman, and is very fluid.
"No!"
Ethan can finally introduce his true identity.
"It's magic. ”
Tony maintained his expression for a full two seconds before asking, "Sorry, I may not have heard you clearly, what did you just say?"
"Magic. ”
Ethan spread out his hands, and then a thick amount of water slowly gathered between his empty hands, and then condensed into a droplet in Tony's slowly widening eyes, gradually increasing into a round balloon.
The balloon of clear water hovered between Ethan's hands and swung slowly, reflecting a little light in the light of the lab.
"Examine this water polo and my personal mental condition. ”
"Sir, you are in good spirits and have not detected any energy intrusion or interference with your brain. In addition, Mr. Ethan's mental fluctuations are strong and steady, and in his hands is a mass of water molecules that originates from the surrounding air. ”
As a wealthy man, Tony Stark is of course wary of hypnotism and the like, and when he saw the incredible scene, the first thing that came to mind was that he might have been hypnotized, which led to hallucinations.
He had been wearing a device that could monitor his mental condition, and after ruling out this possibility, he thought that Ethan had some strange equipment in his hand, which could gather water molecules in the air, but the answer given by Jarvis after probing made him have to believe that this magical scene in front of him was done by this young man by himself.
Ethan controlled the water balloon in his hand and slowly flew into an empty water glass, which was filled with a large glass of water on the table, reminding Tony of what had just happened.
"Mr. Tony Stark, there is no need to be suspicious or panicked, there are many more secrets in this world than you think. ”
