Across the Sky From the Stop of Time

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

However, at that time, Tony was full of dissatisfaction with Howard's departure, so he didn't care about those things and directly sealed them away.

It seems to be placed in the utility room!

Thinking of it, Tony hurriedly left the laboratory and went to the long-forgotten utility room.

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

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

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

Tony squatted down, stretched out his hand and slowly brushed away the dust on the surface, and a name was revealed.

"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 the box on the table. Tony took a deep breath and slowly opened the box that had been sealed for many years.

There weren't many things in the box, just a roll of drawings, a few notebooks, information, and a few rolls of old-fashioned film and video tapes.

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

I casually flipped through a few notebooks, which contained some formulas and research records.

Finally, I picked up a few boxes of film and looked through them, but I couldn't see anything. This kind of old-fashioned film has long been eliminated. Fortunately, Tony has a hobby of collecting antiques and has this kind of old-fashioned projector at home.

Tony, who was curious about what his father would leave behind, did not look at other notes or anything like that. Instead, he took the projector, loaded the film, and just sat on the chair and read it carefully.

Wearing a gray suit and a mustache on his lips, Howard appeared on the screen, looking handsome and calm. Tony looked at the figure of his father who 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 healthy body, and for the first time in human history, world peace and possibility!"

…

After a while, the film finished playing, and the idling projector made a clicking sound that kept ringing in the laboratory.

But Tony stared blankly at the darkened curtain, making no move for a long time.

The last sentence of the film: 'My greatest creation will always be you~~! ’ This deeply stimulated Tony and brought tears to his eyes.

Before this, Tony's feelings towards his father were very complicated, with both love and hatred. He even thought that his old father didn't like him at all and was just a by-product of friction with his mother.

Growing up, when facing Howard, he never felt a trace of love from his father. He was more like a strict and rigid teacher, teaching him what to do and what not to do, and seemingly always treating him. It's all an impatient attitude.

If it weren't for the paternity test results showing that he was indeed his biological son, Tony would have thought he was picked up from the trash can.

Now, he understands that he has misunderstood his father for so many years!

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

Maybe it's just that he doesn't know how to express it, so he only uses harshness to cover up his love for himself!

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

"Yo~~ Our Iron Man actually sheds tears."

Just when Tony was moved by himself, Hao Shuai's angry 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 harshly.

"You won't admit it, right? Then I will have no choice but to post the video of you crying on the Internet for the majority of netizens to judge." Hao Shuai waved the mobile phone in his hand.

"Don't~~Uncle, I was wrong!" Tony begged for mercy hurriedly.

For him who is obsessed with saving face, if he really posted it online, wouldn't it mean that he would die on the spot?

"Howard isn't even dead yet! I don't know why you're crying." Hao Shuai threatened Tony.

"Uh~~"

Only then did Tony realize that he had forgotten that his father was indeed alive and well.

Just the thought of him leaving for the so-called space tourism for more than ten years, and even taking his dear mother with him, made the originally moved Tony instantly turn to grief and anger.

He decided that when he saw his father later, he would have to see his steel armor so that he could understand what it means to be filial and filial to his father~~

When Hao Shuai saw that the fire was successful, he asked: "How is it? Have you found a new element?"

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

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he thought of his father's performance when he talked about the things he left behind in the video he just watched.

Then the film was put into the projector again, and as the film rotated, the image was played again.

"I made all this for you!"

"One day you will understand that this represents more than just a human invention, it is also my life's achievement!"

"This is the key to the future!"

While Howard in the camera was saying this, he raised his hand and gestured behind him seemingly unintentionally.

Found it!

That city sand table!

When Howard talked about his research results, he was pointing to that 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 in Stark Industries!

"Have you figured it out? Then go get it back." As soon as 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.

Opposite the portal was the Stark Industries Memorial Hall.

...

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

Looking at the sand table model in front of him that was exactly the same as the one in the image left by Howard, Tony looked at 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 screen slowly swept across the sand table, and a sand table building model composed of blue lines quickly emerged.

Moving the completed digital model from the sand table to an open space on the side and standing it up, Tony pulled over a chair and sat in front of the light screen, holding his chin and thinking.

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

...
