Chapter 98 Howard: My greatest creation will always be you, Tony!
Especially since they had the impression that their father had never said such words to them, at least not when he was alive. As far as he could remember, there were only quarrels, quarrels and quarrels.
"One day you will understand that this represents not only the invention of mankind, but also my life's achievement!"
As Howard Stark spoke, the camera turned to a model of the expo.
"This is the key to the future. I'm limited by the technology of this era, but one day you'll understand it all, and then you'll change the world!" Howard Stark said in front of the camera, his face full of kindness and happiness. "My greatest creation will always be you!"
For a moment, Tony Stark was stunned as if he had been shot, and was pierced by these words.
This video made him get to know his father again, a father he had never met!
For the first time in so many years, he was sure that his father really loved him.
Through this conversation, he achieved reconciliation with his father and with himself.
He no longer has to give up on himself and think that he is a child who is unwanted and unloved. He has a pair of parents who love him very much.
Although the reconciliation was completed many years after my father's death.
But now I only feel extremely relieved.
The scene changed, and when everyone was still immersed in the father-son love between Howard Stark and Tony Stark, suddenly, they saw a scene that left a deep impression on them.
Tony Stark used a Rolex, a gold watch worth at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, and then exchanged it for a box of strawberries on the roadside.
This scene made everyone's eyelids twitch.
What does it mean to be rich but inhumane? This is what it means to be rich but inhumane.
How much do they earn per month?
Do you have tens of thousands of dollars?
In other words, even if everyone here is an elite with a high income, it would take them at least a year of hard work and even without food or drink, and now they have just exchanged it for a box of strawberries.
Is this strawberry made of gold?
What does it mean to be rich? This is fucking rich. What a wicked capitalist.
"Tony, are you so rich in normal times?" Hawkeye Barton said quietly.
He remembered how he had to work hard to support his family and how he worked diligently every month without missing a day. But these damn capitalists just wanted to exchange a watch for strawberries. It was outrageous.
"Otherwise, I will bring you a box of strawberries every day, and you just need to give me a watch like this!" Hawkeye Barton continued.
Tony Stark smiled slightly and said, "Not impossible!"
Given his wealth, he could have earned back the gold watch in the short time it took him to get out of the car to buy strawberries.
Money is just a number. I have no interest in money and I have never touched money!
The happiest time for me was when my parents were still alive, even though we didn't have much money at that time.
When Tony Stark rushed to the company, Pepper Potts was dealing with the aftermath of his handing over the Mark II to Rhodes, and she was quite overwhelmed.
Tony Stark tried to please Pepper Potts with strawberries, but he ran into trouble because Pepper Potts was allergic to strawberries. As a result, Tony Stark, who was always eloquent, couldn't even organize any decent words and was kicked out.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when watching this scene. Although Tony Stark was in a miserable state at this time, suffering from palladium poisoning and dying, they still couldn't help laughing. Maybe it was because Tony Stark seemed to have found a way to solve the problem.
Tony Stark outside the screen was also a little embarrassed, because he didn't know that Pepper was allergic to strawberries, and he quite liked eating strawberries. Thinking about it this way, he really didn't know much about Pepper.
In other words, as the main force, Pepper Potts knows him very well, but he knows almost nothing about her.
Before everyone could finish laughing, Tony Stark had already moved the model of that year's industrial expo back home.
"Jarvis, please make a digital model. I need an operational projection screen!" Tony Stark said, and a brand new projection screen immediately appeared in front of him.
"1974 Stark Industries Expo, model scan completed, sir!" Jarvis completed the scanning work immediately.
Tony Stark lifted up the projection of the entire digital model and asked, "How many buildings are there in total?"
"Including the Belgian waffle stand?" Jarvis asked.
"Um, I'm just asking. Show it to me!" Iron Man placed the digital model in front of him and found a chair to sit down. "What does this look like?"
"It's kind of like an atom!"
"It's kind of like an atom!"
Tony Stark inside and outside the screen spoke almost at the same time. Obviously, Tony Stark outside the screen also made the same judgment as Iron Man.
They were essentially the same person, with similar ages and experiences, and they thought alike almost immediately.
"The nucleus should be here!" Iron Man pointed at the center of the digital model. "Highlight the large sphere!"
"Take away the walkway, throw them all away!" Iron Man waved his hand and took them all away.
"What do you want to achieve?" Jarvis asked.
"I want to discover, um... to be correct, rediscover a new element!" Tony Stark said while stroking his beard.
"Get rid of the landscaping, the bushes, the trees, the parking lot exits and entrances!"
"Using the pavilion as a structure, we construct protons and neutrons..."
Soon, Jarvis' powerful computing ability was demonstrated, and the calculation results appeared. A projection of a brand new element appeared in front of Tony Stark.
A completely new, previously undiscovered element is now revealed to Tony Stark.
At this time, everyone looked at Tony Stark, because they couldn't understand these things either. Tony Stark was the only one present who could understand his own operations on another timeline.
In the picture, Tony Stark looked at everything in front of him silently, and then said: "You've been dead for twenty years, and you still want to teach me!"
Tony Stark outside the screen had a similar view. It had been twenty years, a full twenty years, and he thought he had surpassed his father in every way. He had invented the Ark Reactor that his father could not invent, and brought Stark Industries to the top, a peak that his father had never reached. He thought he had surpassed his father, but now he realized that he had never surpassed his father.
At most, you can stand on your father's shoulders and see farther.
His father was only limited by the level of technology at the time. Otherwise, as Lin Feng said, he might not be worse than himself.
At this time, he also understood what his father meant by the key to the new era. This new element can solve the problem of human energy, which is enough to start a new energy revolution and lay a solid foundation for mankind to enter the next era.
In the picture, Tony Stark laughed heartily like a kid in his thirties. He clapped his hands, and the projection of the new element appeared in his palms.
"Sir, the new element you discovered should be able to replace the palladium you are using!" Jarvis reminded.
"Thank you, Dad!"
Iron Man said sincerely as he looked at the projection of the glowing new element in his hand.
Perhaps this was the only time in his life that he truly thanked his father.
His father, who had been dead for twenty years, saved his life at a critical moment.
The scene ended here, and everyone was still immersed in the video just now. They saw a series of changes from Tony Stark's madness at the beginning when he thought he would not survive, to the end when he finally found the new element and saved his life.
At this time, they finally understood what Lin Feng said about what was missing between Tony Stark and himself in another timeline. It was these experiences that were missing.
A person's character and consciousness are shaped by his experiences.
"Are all your scientists so brain-burning? I feel like a poor student. I keep my eyes wide open and don't dare to miss a single step, but the moment I bend down to pick up the pen, the content on the blackboard has changed from one plus one equals two to calculus. In that instant, I can't understand anything at all." Hawkeye Patton complained.
"You know, this isn't something most people can understand," Tony Stark said proudly. "Jarvis, using this new element, how much can we increase the energy output compared to palladium?"
"The calculation is complete, sir. Compared with palladium, this new element can double its instantaneous energy output and is more useful than palladium." Jarvis replied.
"Very good, let's use this new element later." Tony Stark clapped his hands and made a decision.
The attack power of his Mark Armor is largely limited by its output power.
At the same time, Tony Stark felt emotional in his heart, thinking that himself in another timeline probably felt even more deeply, because he was really saved by his father across twenty years.
Without these insights and life experiences, could he really have the enlightenment that Lin Feng said, and then be able to compare himself with gods with his mortal body?
[With a mortal body, he is on par with gods. This battle of the Avengers is truly Tony Stark's battle to become a god. It is also his Iron Man. The identity of the superhero completely surpasses his identity as a super rich, playboy, super genius, and physicist.
Even after he stripped off the Iron Man armor, he still had so many identities, but the most dazzling identity in his life was only one, and that was Iron Man, Tony Stark.
Tony Stark couldn't believe it when he saw the description of himself in Lin Feng's diary. Was that Lin Feng's evaluation?
