Hex Technology Tycoon of American Comics

With Iron Man collecting evidence, Carl was not worried at all that there would be insufficient evidence in the future.

After the two finalized the plan, they walked out slowly. Only then did Tony notice that this hospital seemed to house many SHIELD agents.

Most of these agents were maimed in battles with Obadiah.

"So you're going to give them prosthetics too?"

"Of course, why not? S.H.I.E.L.D., the former Homeland Strategy Bureau, specially allocated a large amount of funds to me. Don't give it up."

"But... some injuries are not caused by the prosthetic limbs, right?"

Facing Tony's question, Karl shrugged: "Why don't you come and take a look in person? This is not a trade secret. I plan to promote it after a while."

Following Karl, the two of them came to the intensive care unit.

Just like Tony said, Iron Overlord's punch force of dozens of tons would be a disaster on the human body.

With just the slightest touch, a person's bones will break, his internal organs will be damaged, and his nerves will become a mess.

These are not things that simple external prosthetics can solve.

"Did you see that? That person inside."

Carl stood in front of the one-way glass and motioned for Tony to look inside.

In the medical laboratory, a man covered in bandages was undergoing treatment. Only his eyes seemed to be moving.

"He was rubbed by Obadiah, all his ribs were broken, and his lungs were cut into pieces by bones. Fortunately, his heart is fine."

Tony looked at Carl with an "are you kidding me" expression on his face.

Is this good luck?

Normal people shouldn't survive at all!

And looking at the bandages on this unfortunate agent, it was obvious that he had other fatal injuries. Even if he was lucky enough to survive, he would probably be paralyzed for life.

But Karl just continued: "Of course, his spine was completely scrapped because it hit the wall.

But...I have my treatment plan. "

I saw the medical staff slowly taking off the bandages, revealing the horrific body of the injured - this guy looked like a corpse that had been randomly sewn up from a horror novel, with traces of stitches everywhere!

Of course, it can be seen that the parts on his body are not sewn to someone else's, but his own body, which is just a little... broken.

What surprised Tony was that although the agent looked in terrible condition, his vital signs were relatively stable.

"How did you save him?"

"I replaced him with an artificial lung - after all, a lung is just an oxygen tank."

A test chart of the artificial lung appeared on the laboratory screen. Overall... the appearance of this thing really looked like a jar.

The inside of the tank is filled with various pipes, connected to the trachea, to suck in outside air.

Carl also thoughtfully added a filter device to the can. In theory, the agent can say goodbye to the gas mask in the future.

It's just that no matter how you look at it, the design of this jar is a bit... crude.

"That's it?" Tony looked confused.

The materials and design of this artificial lung were placed in front of him.

But according to his inference and Jarvis's analysis, this artificial lung should not function properly at all!

As for the energy source, he couldn't find the characteristics of the Hex crystal in the lungs at all, and although the material used in the artificial lungs is a commonly used medical alloy, such a big thing should trigger a violent immune response!

Karl nodded: "That's it - the reason is that I used a special drug."

With that said, the medical staff opened the reserved opening on the injured man's chest and inserted two catheters into it.

The two-day observation period has passed. The injured person and the artificial lung have integrated well. Now it is necessary to replace and clean the mixture of blood, fluid and shimmer inside.

The dirty fluid was sucked out and a fresh shimmering mixture was injected into the patient on the other side.

This mixture is a mixture of shimmering agent and artificial plasma, and the effect is even better than the human body's own blood!

After changing the body fluids, the agent slowly opened his eyes at the doctor's call. The strong lungs gave him greater lung capacity.

As fresh oxygen entered his body and shimmering plasma gradually flowed through his limbs, he felt like he was alive again!

Watching the agent slowly sit upright, the attending physician nodded and signaled the assistants to activate the prosthetic limbs.

Because the agent's spine suffered a devastating blow, Carl directly gave him a simple exoskeleton.

The spinal nerves are replaced by a Hex spiritual transmission device that fits the original spine, linking and driving the four prosthetic limbs, allowing the injured to at least live a normal life.

Of course, considering that the mental synchronization technology used by Karl is still at the basic level, it is impossible to jump around like before.

But that's enough - after all, this poor guy would have been dead long ago.

After confirming that everything was normal, the agent walked out of the room and hugged his family.

Watching the injured man who was a cripple a second ago slowly walk with the help of the nurse, Tony was filled with emotion.

After a while, he suddenly raised his hand unconsciously, as if he wanted to touch his Ark reactor.

"...Can that kind of plasma reduce the immune response? Are there any side effects?"

"Plasma does not, but a component in the plasma does." Karl said bluntly, "If you overdose on a mixture in the plasma, it will produce an addictive reaction and even mutate."

There is no point in hiding this matter. After these superheroes find out on their own, they feel that Hex Technology Company has a big secret that cannot be told.

Besides, Karl wanted to apply for various drugs including Shimmer to be included in the National Health Insurance, so there was no need to hide the side effects.

"Sounds like a controlled substance...but the effects are worth using."

Sure enough, Tony just thought about it for a moment and said that the flaws were not concealed.

And when he knew the full effect of the shimmer, he would be even more surprised.

"...I plan to buy some and see how many of these potions you have on hand?"

"Well, it may take a while. I'm applying for a drug batch number. Before then, it's illegal to trade privately."

Karl shrugged, "But the output of the shimmering potion is very high, unlike Hex's synthetic crystal. If you want it, I will inform you when the batch number of the drug is available."

The production of the shimmering potion does not need to be processed one by one by Karl himself like the Hex crystals. It only needs the parts he made.

After the recent expansion of the plantation, the monthly output of low light exceeds 20l, which is quite impressive.

If these 20 liters of low light are made into low light plasma, the total will be 2000 liters of artificial plasma that is comparable to universal blood. This is another huge business.

The annual blood consumption in the world is 1700 million liters. As long as there is enough time, Carl is confident that he can eat up the entire market...

After all, blood shortage is the medical theme in today's world.

Based on the calculation of US$800 per liter of blood, there is no doubt that this is a large market worth tens of billions, and the profits are also quite terrifying--

After all, for Hex Technology, the cost of artificial plasma may be about the same as mineral water.

However, when the initial output is insufficient, Karl will of course sell these things at high prices - because in the early days, his service targets were those rich people.

Tony also thought of this in an instant, but he didn't pay much attention.

"Okay - although I really want to say that you can give me as much as you want, but I think it's better to leave some opportunities for others."

"You are so kind. Let me give you some for free. Think of it as an apology for making armor for Obadiah before - here are the crystals you asked for and 1l of shimmer solution, all of which are in it."

Karl said, taking out a suitcase, "When will the payment be made?"

Tony took out his sunglasses and brought them up, and said: "Put it on the ground and I'll get it myself - as for payment..."

The dashing billionaire waved his hand and said without looking back: "It's already arrived."

"Continue your entrepreneurial journey. I am very optimistic about you, young man - in fact, if you had not gone public, I would have given you a large investment."

As he spoke, Tony lifted the box on the ground and walked out of the hospital in a big way--

Karl did not follow him, but leaned to the edge of the balcony and watched Tony leave.

If he goes down now, he may be squeezed into pieces by his crazy Iron Man admirers.

"Sir, the company's profitability is good - we now have 3000 million US dollars to deploy, what should we do next?"

Karl snapped his fingers and was in a good mood.

"It's time to buy another house - let me see where I can buy some land."
