In Stark's laboratory, the piles of documents and information were so high that Jarvis had to install a set of robotic arms on his new body to organize all these experimental materials.
There are a set of four robotic arms, which are fixed on the shoulders and waist of the Jarvis machine body. The upper robotic arm can cooperate with his arms to sort different documents, while the lower robotic arm is responsible for stuffing them into
In each cabinet.
Because some experimental data are too complex to be judged using simple programs and need to be kept confidential, these tasks can only be completed by Jarvis and Stark.
In the next room, Otto was banging the table with a furious look on his face. He said: "If you don't trust my skills, why did you come to me?!"
"I'll say it again, the tentacles can be directly connected to the human nervous system. There will be no sequelae. You don't need to add a layer of mecha in the middle!"
"Of course, I have read your research information, but I just can't get used to having four big tentacles on my back. It's really ugly!" Stark also raised his voice.
"You must know that my fans like Iron Man because they like my streamlined, high-tech equipment, not because they like the four ugly tentacles. I came to you to solve the problem, so just shut up.
, let’s work, okay?”
Otto took a deep breath, tried hard to recall the series of zeros on the contract that Pepper gave him, shook his head, and resigned himself to adding mechanical tentacles to Stark's mecha.
In order to further improve his work efficiency, Stark felt that he also needed to add a few more hands.
People often say that he is a capitalist who exploits his employees, but Stark must prove that he is ruthless and even exploits himself.
He made himself a very complete set of life-support armor, and with the help of magical energy, he could even go without sleeping for a week.
He doesn't eat, drink or sleep, and devotes himself wholeheartedly to the experiment. This is why his anxiety disorder was so severe before.
And this time, he planned to equip the life-support armor with four more mechanical tentacles like Doctor Octopus.
Although he can activate the robot and help him work by giving commands to Jarvis, the flexibility and touch are not as good as his own hands. And if the neural connection can achieve the effect of having a few more hands, it is still very difficult.
worth it.
Otto was busy in the laboratory for a long time, adjusting various types of mechanical tentacles. Strange walked out of the magic portal and began to prepare for the operation.
As long as nerve connection is used, surgery will definitely be required, but after a period of technical improvement, Strange is trying minimally invasive nerve connection surgery, and even external nerve connection surgery.
To put it simply, a special material is used to extend human nerves beyond the body surface. In this way, it will be much more convenient to use various nerve-connected external equipment and save a lot of pain.
However, because this technology has not yet been tested, it cannot be used on Stark. He can only use the most traditional neural access device implanted in the body to control the tentacles.
"I have to remind you first that nerve access surgery is risky. I have handed the risk notice to Jarvis, but it doesn't matter whether you sign it or not, because if the surgery fails, I will activate the gem and we will
You can do it again."
"Besides, Schiller will be here in ten minutes." Strange looked down at his watch and said, "Oh, no, there are still seven minutes. He is always on time."
"Wait a minute, what is he here for?" Stark walked to the mecha, turned around, walked backwards behind the mecha, and let the mecha cover him.
The life-supporting mecha is different from other combat suits. It pursues extreme lightness and is best like nothing. Therefore, after Stark puts on this mecha, it looks more like he is wearing a tight-fitting suit.
Some mechanical structures can be seen at the joints.
Strange put the medical records in his hand next to him, looked at Stark and said, "I have to remind you, nerve external surgery is very painful, very painful."
"The most important thing is that you don't want to use anesthetics. I really don't know how you..."
"Don't mention it." Stark turned his head away, trying to change the subject. Otto said at the side: "If you want to use such a childish method to prove your manhood, then I can only say, you
It’s better to go back to college and study it again.”
Stark snorted coldly and said: "Manliness? I will not be as naive as that boy Peter. Don't you know? Any dose of anesthetic may cause damage to the brain, which I absolutely cannot afford.
as a result of."
"That is to say, when you were toying with that thing on your chest, you didn't use anesthesia at all???" Strange looked at Stark and said, "I have to admit, you are indeed a bit masculine."
Thinking of the incident that Strange mentioned, Stark also turned a little pale. They pursed their lips and said, "Don't mention that incident again, I don't want to remember it."
When life and death are at stake, people can always maximize their potential, but afterwards, they still feel scared. Stark's mental condition is not stable enough, and it is also due to the shadow left by the Afghanistan incident.
"Good morning, everyone." Schiller walked into the laboratory, holding a medical record in his hand, then looked at Stark and said: "I heard that there is a big boy who wants to show off his masculinity.
Doing nerve access surgery without anesthesia?”
"Stop talking so much. If you keep talking, my heart rate will not be suitable for surgery." Stark took a deep breath and said, "Later, I will show you what true manhood is."
Ten minutes later, screams pierced the silent sky of New York.
"Ah!!!!!!!!!Ahhhhh!!!!!!"
"Didi-didi-didi-"
"The alarm is going off." Schiller turned to look at the equipment on the side, recording, and said: "The brain wave activity is not normal either, stop it!"
Strange immediately stopped what he was doing, took off his gloves, and took out the gem. With a flash of light, time went back to the time before the operation.
Stark, who was fixed on the operating table, was breathing heavily and covered in cold sweat. Although the wounds and blood had disappeared, his memory had not been reset. The terrible pain just now was swallowed up in an instant.
he.
Stark, who was naked from the waist up, supported his body with one arm and sat up from the operating table.
As Strange packed up the surgical instruments, he looked at Stark's back. Just now, there was a medium-sized window there. The wound was not deep, and there was not much blood flow, but the process of nerve connection was
, but it can bring extreme pain.
"I said, man, how on earth can you endure this kind of pain????" Stark looked at Otto and said, "Even with anesthetics, this is simply not something humans can endure."
Otto shook his head and said: "Indeed, during the operation, I woke up from pain seven or eight times, but because it was intermittent, it was not that serious. If you don't use anesthesia at all, then I can only wish you good luck.
Already."
Schiller turned to look at Strange and said, "Is it feasible if Professor X is forced to stop his brain?"
Strange shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, but it may also have a certain impact on the brain. His thinking is too active, and his brain activity is much stronger than ordinary people. If it is forcibly suppressed..."
Strange did not finish his words. Several people present knew his conclusion. Schiller thought for a moment and said, "How about borrowing a symbiote? Directly block the pain."
The others were silent, seeming to be thinking. Strange touched his chin and said, "It should be possible. This symbiotic creature is very magical and can control every cell in the human body..."
"But before, the symbiotes have returned to their home planet...wait a minute, it seems that there is still one symbiote that has not left?"
Schiller and Strange looked at each other, and Stark, who was lying on the operating table, suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Bad man, we meet again!"
When Venom's deep and hoarse voice sounded in Stark's mind, he hammered the table hard and said: "Get out of my head, you bloody piece of mud!!!"
"Oh, oh, oh, let me hear, which little baby came to see his venomous father because he couldn't bear the pain? Later, I will record the changes in every cell of yours, and then
Write it on my genetic catalog and tell the whole universe that Tony Stark is a crybaby who is afraid of pain! Hahahahahahahahaha!!!"
"Shut up, Mud, do you want me to tell the whole universe that you are mentally retarded? Later, I will open the portal, go to the planet Klinta, and tell your fellow racers that you learn the knowledge of linear functions.
It even takes two hours!”
Seeing Stark sitting there in a daze, Strange, who was preparing experimental equipment, bumped Schiller next to him with his shoulder and said, "I guess the two of them must have had a huge quarrel."
"This is a good thing. Tony should change his mind." Schiller glanced back at Stark and said, "Don't you think he's been a little obsessed lately?"
Strange also looked back at Stark and lowered his voice and said: "I found that he is always very insecure. When things don't go well, he will feel very irritable, but when things go well
Sometimes, he will feel that things will soon fall into a trough."
"Just like recently, the solar system construction plan is developing very smoothly, but he must squeeze his brain, not letting go of every minute, and not daring to stop himself to rest."
Strange said helplessly: "I asked him why he did this, and he said that these people cannot be united forever. Now that they are getting better, they must seize this opportunity."
Schiller paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "In his view, good times are always in the minority, and long-term depression, depression, violence, and stagnation are the norm."
"I think this has a lot to do with his father." Strange said in a deep tone: "Isn't this describing an alcoholic? There are always a few when he is sober, and in most states he is like a puddle.
Mud... I feel it deeply."
"Yes, people who grow up in this kind of situation often have the feeling that they must seize the time to complete everything on quiet days, because at any time, a drunkard may rush into his room.
, verbally abusing and beating him, this is where the insecurity comes from.”
"Haven't you thought about treating this problem?" Strange looked up at Schiller and asked, "Of course, I'm not saying you have to do this, but if possible, he should still be healthier.
.”
"I tried before, but this character trait has become his personality trait and a part of him. I'm afraid it will be difficult to remove."
"Wait, personality traits?" Strange turned to look at Schiller and asked: "I remember you said before that every character in your tower of thinking palace is a part of you.
Personality traits, you can control when those traits come out to work, so how do you do all this?"
After hearing this, Schiller stopped moving his hands, but soon he started to get busy again. He lowered his head in silence, as if he didn't want to answer the question. Strange saw this and did not continue to ask.
When the venom possessed Stark, Strange restarted the operation without even needing to make an incision. The venom directly opened a very small incision on Stark's back. After implanting the nerve connection device, he remotely
Connected to the life support suit.
Not only was the whole process painless, but the moment it was connected, Stark felt as if he had two more controllable arms. After confirming that everything was correct, he connected the remaining two tentacles.
Stark, who was sitting on the operating table, shook his head, blinked hard, and said, "This feels so amazing, I seem...as if I really have a few more arms."
Otto was debugging behind the mecha. He said, "If you don't use this mecha as a relay, you will feel better."
In an instant, the four tentacles twitched, and one of them knocked Otto staggering. Stark said: "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it."
"Okay, let Venom, the most genius in the universe, take a look. What weird thing have you made? ... Tentacles? If you want tentacles, why don't you come to me?"
Venom snorted, and instantly, countless tentacles made of black mucus erupted from behind Stark, and each tentacle was connected to Stark's nerves and could be directly controlled by his brain.
"Listen, even if the mechanical tentacles are not easy to use, I will never use this piece of mud like you!" Stark said loudly, raising his voice.
Ten minutes later, in the laboratory, Stark yelled:
"You piece of mud! I say it again! Don't make any small moves when I ask you to get the information!"
A black slime tentacle on Stark's back retracted with a "swish", but then another tentacle began to rummage through the filing cabinet.
While one person and one symbiote were fighting, Schiller and Strange, who had just sorted out the medical records, walked in. Although Stark's hand movements did not stop, his ears perked up.
He heard Schiller say: "I recently built a very magical thing. Do you want to see it?"
"A magical thing?" Strange turned to look at Schiller and asked, "What is it? What can you call a magical thing?"
Stark also looked back curiously, and then he and Strange saw a circle of light light up on Schiller's head.
Both Stark and Strange came to Schiller's side. Strange waved his hand first and said, "What did I think it was? Isn't it just a magic light effect? Me too!"
After speaking, Strange snapped his fingers, and a circle of light lit up on his head. He shook his head at Schiller with some pride.
Schiller showed a sneer, and under the gaze of Stark and Strange, he reached out his hand and took off the halo on his head.
