From the standstill of time, across the heavens

Chapter 1373 Your dad is not dead yet, why are you crying? !

With Hao Shuai's reminder, the dusty memories in Tony's mind were gradually awakened, and he finally had some impression of what Hao Shuai said. It seemed that Howard did give him something when he left the earth.

However, Tony was full of dissatisfaction with Howard's departure at the time, and did not care about those things, but sealed them up directly.

It seems to be placed in the utility room!

Tony remembered and hurriedly left the laboratory and went to the long-forgotten utility room.

When he pushed open the door, a messy scene came into view. Most of the things in the room were unused, including some machines, equipment and weapon prototypes he had made before.

With mixed feelings, Tony slowly walked towards the depths of the room.

Finally, in the corner of the utility room, Tony found the box left by his father Howard. Many years had passed, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on it.

Tony squatted down, reached out and slowly brushed away the dust on the surface, and a name appeared.

"Howard Stark!"

Looking at his father's name, Tony was stunned for a long time, feeling extremely complicated.

Then he carried the box back to the laboratory and put it on the table. Tony took a deep breath and slowly opened the box that had been sealed for many years.

There weren't actually many things in the box, just a roll of drawings, a few notebooks, some materials, and a few old film tapes.

Tony first opened the top roll of drawings and found that it was the design drawing of the Ark reactor left by Howard!

I casually flipped through a few notebooks, which were full of formulas and research records.

Finally, he picked up a few boxes of film and looked through them, but he couldn't tell anything. This old-fashioned film had long been obsolete. Fortunately, Tony had a hobby of collecting antiques and had this old-fashioned projector in his home.

Tony, who was curious about what his father would leave behind, did not look at other notes or anything. Instead, he took the projector, loaded the film, and sat in a chair to watch it carefully.

Howard, wearing a gray suit and with a tuft of mustache on his lips, appeared in the picture, looking handsome and steady. Tony looked at the figure of his father, which had long been blurred in his mind, and his eyes couldn't help but become complicated.

"Everything can be achieved through technology, a better life, a healthier body, and for the first time in human history, world peace and possibility!"

……

After a while, the film was finished playing, and the idling projector made a clicking sound that continued to echo in the laboratory.

But Tony just stared at the darkening curtain in a daze for a long time without moving.

The last line of the film, "My greatest creation will always be you!" deeply moved Tony and brought tears to his eyes.

Before this, Tony had complicated feelings towards his father, a mixture of love and hatred. He even thought that his father didn't like him at all, and that it was just a byproduct of friction with his mother.

From childhood to adulthood, he has never felt the slightest love from his father when facing Howard. He is more like a strict and old-fashioned teacher, teaching him what to do and what not to do, and seems to always treat him with impatience.

If the paternity test results hadn't shown that he was indeed his biological son, Tony would have thought he was picked up from a trash can.

  Now, he understood that he had misunderstood his father all these years!

Not only does he love him very much, but he also always recognizes him and is proud of him!

  Maybe he just doesn't know how to express it, so he can only use harshness to hide his love for himself!

Thinking of this, Tony couldn't help but feel deeply guilty about his previous mentality.

"Yo~~ Our Iron Man is actually crying."

Just when Tony was feeling moved by himself, Hao Shuai's infuriating voice suddenly appeared.

"No way! Don't talk nonsense! It's just sand that got into my eyes." Tony quickly wiped his tears and said stubbornly.

"You're refusing to admit it, right? Then I'll just post the video of you crying so hard online and let the netizens judge for themselves." Hao Shuai waved his phone. "No, uncle, I was wrong!" Tony begged for mercy.

For someone like him who cares so much about his reputation, if it were really posted online, he would be socially ruined on the spot.

"Howard isn't dead yet! I really don't know why you're crying." Hao Shuai just wanted to scare Tony.

"Uh~~"

Tony then realized that he had forgotten that his father was still alive and well.

But the thought that he had been away for more than ten years for the so-called space tourism, and even took his beloved mother with him, instantly turned Tony's originally moved feeling into grief and anger.

  He decided that when he saw his father later, he would show him his steel armor and let him understand what filial piety meant.

Seeing that he had succeeded in fanning the flames, Hao Shuai asked, "How is it going? Have you found a new element?"

"New elements?" Tony carefully recalled the contents of the film.

Suddenly his eyes lit up as he thought of the video he had just seen, in which his father's reaction was reflected when he talked about the things he left behind.

The film was put back into the projector, and as the film turned, the image played again.

"I built all this for you!"

"One day you will understand that this represents not only the invention of mankind, but also my life's achievement!"

“This is the key to the future!”

When Howard in the camera said this, he seemed to unintentionally turn sideways and raise his hand to gesture behind him.

  found it!

That city sandbox!

When Howard talked about his research results, he pointed to the city sand table! The secret of the new element is likely hidden in this sand table!

And if he remembered correctly, this sand table was at Stark Industries!

"Have you figured it out? Then go get it back." When Hao Shuai saw Tony's expression, he knew that he had guessed the truth of the matter, so he waved his hand and a portal appeared.

Across the portal is the Stark Industries Memorial.

……

Soon, Tony moved the sand table model, which was more than two meters long and sixty centimeters wide, back to the laboratory.

Tony looked at the sand table model in front of him, which was exactly the same as the one in the video left by Howard. He studied it for a long time and realized that there seemed to be some kind of pattern hidden in the design of this future city. All the buildings were distributed in a circle around a globe sculpture in the center.

"Jarvis, scan the sand table and create a data model. I need an operational projection screen."

As soon as Tony finished speaking, a blue light scanning curtain slowly swept across the sand table, and a sand table building model composed of blue lines soon emerged.

Tony moved the completed digital model from the sand table to an open space on the side and stood it up. He pulled over a chair and sat in front of the light curtain, thinking with his chin in his hand.

"What does this look like?" Tony muttered to himself...
