Chapter 963 Tony's attending physician: Doctor Strange

"Warming up? Ha, Banner, you underestimate me. Back then, I was a strong man who could fight with two beautiful twin reporters in one night. How could I need warming up? After this big hole in my chest was filled, I feel so good." Hearing Banner's concern, Tony stretched his arms and showed his signature confident smile.

During the time when Noah was away from Earth, Tony actually went to remove the disease in his chest that was threatening him all the time. The origin of this wound can be traced back to when Tony was not yet Iron Man, when he encountered a terrorist bomb attack. The attack caused some shrapnel to be embedded in his chest, and the position was extremely dangerous, just one step away from his heart.

Even though Tony later became Iron Man and had advanced technological power and equipment, he still did not completely solve this hidden danger. He relied on the magnetic force generated by the Ark reactor to absorb these shrapnel, preventing them from moving further to the heart and possibly causing fatal damage.

If you could see Tony's chest at this moment, you would notice the changes in the center of his chest - the arc reactor was once placed there, flashing blue light, but now it is gone. After Tony successfully removed the dangerous shrapnel in his body, the original wound has been perfectly repaired. If you look closely, you will also find that the new skin is more pink than the surrounding old skin.

Of course, no longer carrying the Ark Reactor does not mean that Tony can no longer continue to play the role of Iron Man. In fact, the Ark Reactor does not have to be built into the body, it can be integrated into the Iron Man suit. The reason why Tony needed to carry it with him before was mainly to use magnetism to absorb those shrapnel that endangered his heart.

Recently, Tony has been developing and updating his own technology. In particular, after in-depth research on the dark elf technology and combining it with the nanotechnology reference provided by Noah, he has made a comprehensive innovation in his Ark reactor technology and suit design.

Following this trend, it is expected that in the near future, the nano battle suit that was originally scheduled to debut in the later stages of the movie will be developed and manufactured by Tony in advance.

"Well, Tony, I'm not interested in hearing about your romantic stories." Banner's face twitched after listening to Tony recounting one of his past exploits. He knew that Tony had a past experience that most men envied, but he didn't want to listen to Tony continue bragging about his "achievements" here.

So Banner interrupted Tony's interest in continuing to talk, and pointed at the projection screen in front of Tony. In an instant, a similar screen was pulled to his side.

Although this information was originally provided to Tony by SHIELD, according to the rules and regulations, people like Banner who are not formal members of the Avengers are not allowed to view it. But Tony has never paid much attention to these regulations, and he has never regarded Banner as an outsider. Therefore, long ago, whenever Nick Fury sent new information, Tony was always happy to pull Banner to watch it together, seeing it as a relaxing adjustment after the intense research work.

At first, Banner was a little hesitant and reluctant to privately view the information that he should not have access to, after all, it was against the rules. However, as time went on, he gradually got used to this practice, just like now, he naturally copied the information that Tony was viewing.

Banner's operation, the seemingly ordinary but mysterious small round table under them. This table is carefully assembled by nanomachines and has many high-tech functions, including information replication and transmission, as well as projection functions.

"I'm glad you think there's nothing serious. But it's best to let Blitz give you a comprehensive check before you leave." Banner said as he slid the information in front of him.

"However, when I think back to the time when you had surgery, the scene was indeed very impressive. I didn't expect that you had such dangerous shrapnel hidden in your chest."

"Haha, I can't even imagine it myself, and I'm so lucky to have survived." Tony smiled. He recalled the moment in the terrorist cave and the doctor friend who was captured by the terrorists together with him.

"But the operation went so smoothly this time, thanks to that doctor - what's his name? Um... Stephen Strange, yes, that's him." Tony said, tapping his temple with his fingers, as if trying to recall the name from his memory. He paused, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he remembered something interesting.

"Come to think of it, this guy was someone Noah mentioned to me before. Although I'm not sure why Noah pays so much attention to him, I have to admit that Strange is really capable." Tony's tone was a little admiring, but he soon returned to his signature teasing tone, "But you know what? When I first met him, I felt that this guy had the words 'I am a genius' written all over his face. That kind of confidence - no, it should be said that he is conceited - is exactly the same as me."

"Haha, I remember him. I still remember that he wanted to play some music to liven up the mood during the operation. I remember Pepper's expression at that time very clearly. She almost thought Strange was a fake doctor and was about to call the police." Banner couldn't help laughing as he recalled what happened when he stood outside with Pepper and others to watch Tony's operation.

"Well, I was anesthetized at the time and don't remember anything, but if I were still conscious, I would compliment him on his good taste." Tony remembered this incident. It was Pepper who told him this in person after the operation, and she also complained that the doctor he found was a bit unreliable.

But Tony didn't think it was a big deal. It was normal for a genius to have some quirks. At least the operation went smoothly. Later, Tony talked to Dr. Strange about this matter at the celebration banquet. He then learned from him that listening to music during the operation could relax him and make his hand holding the forceps deep into the heart more stable.

Strange also admitted that he was indeed very nervous at the time. After all, he had to perform surgery on the famous Tony Stark, the world-famous superhero Iron Man. Such pressure was not something that most people could withstand.
