Chapter 101: Declaration of War

(Click, Recommend, Spread, Collection, Collection("โ–”โ–กโ–”)/)

Simmons came up with two proposals.

The first is to solve the problem of palladium poisoning on Stark's body first, and then perform a major operation to remove all the shrapnel fragments in Stark's body. In this case, the reactor can be directly deprecated, which is both a symptom and a root cause. It's just that that kind of surgery is very risky, and even Simmons is not too sure. In addition, if it fails, there will be more than just one less Tony Stark in the world.

The second solution is to solve the problem of palladium poisoning first. Next, we will make every effort to overcome the technical problems of the reactor and try all kinds of methods to find a substitute for palladium. It's just that lithium dioxide can't perfectly clear the symptoms of palladium poisoning after all, and there will be residues every time (personal speculation). Accumulate over a long period of time...... There are two outcomes. The first is that Tony Stark hung up before finding a replacement for palladium, and the second is that Iron Man himself was lucky enough to wait for a replacement for palladium, and his body was not completely broken.

In fact, there is also plan three, which was proposed by Skye after the synthesis of plans 1 and 2: find a way to find a substitute for palladium, and wait until Stark's body is no longer able to hold on, and then perform surgery. It's just that this plan is not favored by Simmons. The young female doctor didn't think Stark's body would be able to support the intensity of the surgery.

"Either way, I'll solve Mr. Stark's cervical nerve problem first. At the same time, I will also keep an eye on the palladium poisoning in his body and not let it get out of control. If lucky, Mr. Stark will wake up in a short time. To be honest, judging by the situation, I don't even know how he managed to get to where he is now. It's just that...... In case he doesn't wake up for a while, you need to make a decision as soon as possible. โ€

Simmons' words made Pepper's heart tug again. Even just through the screen, Grant could see her tense arms.

"You're saying it's possible for Tony to turn into a vegetative state? How is this possible! โ€

Fortunately, Simmons immediately explained: "Not a vegetative state. We have a well-established statistical approach to this type of injury, and the data can be traced back more than half a century. With today's technology, we predict that it will be eight months at most. At the shortest, Mr. Stark will wake up on the third day. It's just that his body is on the item of palladium poisoning, and even if he has lithium dioxide, he may not be able to last for eight months. โ€

There was another irritating silence. This time, even Roddy was silent.

"That's all for today." In the end, it was Grant who broke the silence, "Pepper and Roddy, you go back and think about it." Especially Pepper, there are some things that cannot be avoided and can only be faced. Tomorrow Simmons will deal with Stark's injury on the back of his neck, and you'd better make a decision before the day after tomorrow. โ€

Just as a few people were about to interrupt the video call, Grant suddenly thought of a question: "By the way, there is one thing that needs to be explained in advance." If you really want to find a substitute for palladium, it is necessary to disclose the reactor technology. I think that's a key project for Stark Industries right now, right? You guys...... Well, that's whatever. This is not considered when necessary. โ€

After interrupting the communication between the two sides, Grant sat down with an eyebrow pinched.

Things have gone beyond Grant's expectations, and even Fury is no exception. Grant didn't expect Stark to have an "incurable disease", and Fury thought Stark would wake up soon. The director of S.H.I.E.L.D. has even made a series of preparations to put Starkra on the S.H.I.E.L.D. chariot. Even if you can't do this for a while, make a good impression on Stark's mind first.

It's a pity that now, all plans can only be put on hold for the time being.

It's just that on the eve of Roddy and Pepper's decision that Simmons treated Stark with a back neck injury, something big happened that disrupted a lot of people's plans. The moment he received the news, Fury almost smashed everything around him.

"Tony Stark, see you in three days, Empire State Building. I will trample you under your feet again in the eyes of the whole world! โ€

On the same day, someone hacked into the channels of several major radio and television stations in the United States at the same time and broadcast this text message.

The news caused a national sensation in an instant. You must know that in the past six months, Iron Man has been the patron saint of the United States, the pride of the United States, and the ultimate embodiment of the American spirit. Now, a lot of people have blown up. They expressed their strong desire to urge Tony Stark to play through various channels. The more sane ones noticed the "again" time and became worried. At the same time, the focus was on "again" by various undisciplined and undisciplined media, which were soon linked to the events in Monaco. Next, all kinds of arguments about singing and declining were very loud, and they also fought against the fans of the other faction - Iron Man.

Faced with this situation, it is strange that Fury's mood can get better. So far, he has received n phone calls from Secretary General Pierce, the World Security Council, the Cabinet, His Excellency the President, the Parliament, etc. If it weren't for the fact that his every move might attract the attention of someone who cares, he would have flown to Stark's bedside to personally supervise the progress of the medical treatment.

Also very irritated was Grant. After dismissing a distraught Pepper Potz and a surprisingly overwhelmed James Roddy, he has to deal with a question from Fury.

"It's definitely Ivan Vanke last time, that's right...... Last time, his suit was very powerful, and if he dares to appear again this time, it must have been strengthened again...... What the! No way...... Isn't there Roddy...... The suit is good, but I don't want to ...... what_the_f, you actually blacked out, well, threatened me with that? Okay, okay, I'll wear it if that happens...... So be it! โ€

Hanging up the call with Fury very shamelessly, Grant asked Skye next to him, "What, have you tracked down the people who hacked several major media companies?" โ€

"It's the fastest speed now." With that, Skye glanced at Grant and patted him on the arm, "Wait ten minutes or so." I'll help you pinpoint the man. โ€

More than nine minutes later, Skye did just that.

"It's ...... The headquarters of Hammer Industries? Looking at the results of Skye's investigation, Grant muttered, "Wasn't Ivanko taken away by the Winter Soldiers, and why did he get involved with Justin Hammer again?" โ€

"You're leaving?"

"yes." In response to Skye's concern, Grant said, "Rest and wait for me to come back." By the time the training begins, you'll be half exhausted. โ€

As a result, Skye responded: "I'll wait for you to come back." โ€

The latter sentence was ignored by her.
