"Let's talk about it after I've truly solved the palladium poisoning problem."
Iron Man didn't take it too seriously. After greeting Nick Fury, he left the secret base.
He returned to Stark Tower.
"Sir! Welcome back!"
JARVIS was as enthusiastic and polite as ever, like a loyal servant.
Iron Man, however, couldn't be bothered with JARVIS. Instead, he eagerly took out a Mark 7 suit.
Then, based on the information in his mind, he tried to load the Mark 7 suit into the Universal Capsule.
Whoosh!
His vision blurred, and Iron Man saw that the Mark 7 suit in front of him had vanished.
Iron Man's eyes lit up slightly. After taking a deep breath, he picked up the Universal Capsule and threw it to the ground.
Bang!
A cloud of dust flashed, and the Iron Man suit reappeared before him.
"Amazing!"
Even a top scientist like Iron Man couldn't help but marvel. The technology involved in the Universal Capsule was far beyond what Iron Man currently understood.
Since he had verified that the Universal Capsule was indeed useful, Iron Man naturally wasted no more words. He immediately loaded another Mark 7 suit into the Universal Capsule.
Just as he had envisioned, he turned the Universal Capsule into a pendant and hung it around his neck—it was simply perfect.
This way, the previously impossible problem of carrying the Iron Man suit with him was perfectly solved.
"Sir, you have visitors. It's Agent Hill, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who has been here before."
After playing with the Universal Capsule for a while, JARVIS suddenly spoke up to remind him.
"Let them in," Iron Man ordered without looking back. Clearly, this must be Nick Fury delivering something.
Iron Man was also very curious about what Howard had left for him.
Soon, Iron Man saw it: an old-fashioned briefcase with Howard Stark's name printed on it.
Inside, after opening it, were some design blueprints for the Arc Reactor and other related materials.
Stark scanned them with an expressionless face, not really paying much attention, as he had already mastered the knowledge in those documents.
Finally, Stark began to play the videotape from inside the box.
It was all about Howard's introduction to the Stark Expo. Iron Man was equally bored, feeling sleepy, as it seemed utterly useless.
Just as Iron Man was losing hope, a voice suddenly caught his attention: "Tony!"
It was Howard's voice from the video. Iron Man couldn't help but look up and refocus on the screen.
"You're still young now, so I'm recording this for you in advance. All of this was built for you!"
"One day you'll understand that this represents not only human invention, but also my life's achievement. This is the key to the future!"
"I am limited by the technology of this era, but one day you will understand all of this, and then you will change the world."
"And my greatest creation will always be… you!"
The video ended there.
Iron Man, in front of the screen, was stunned, his eyes a little moist. Everything had caught him off guard.
All this time, Iron Man had believed that his father didn't love him at all. But at this moment, Iron Man realized how terribly wrong he had been.
Nick Fury was right; although he was Howard's son, he didn't really understand Howard.
After some time, Iron Man regained his composure and then fell into deep thought.
Nick Fury had confidently told him that what Howard left behind could help him solve the palladium poisoning problem, yet Iron Man was still completely bewildered.
He had watched the video, reviewed the Arc Reactor blueprints, and read Howard's old notes, but he still hadn't found any useful information.
"Only I have the wisdom and resources to accomplish all of this. What exactly did Howard want to tell me?" Iron Man pondered.
And then… he got stuck in a rut.
However, Iron Man was not one to give up easily, and he didn't let a temporary setback stop him.
Over the next week, Iron Man immersed himself in studying these materials, forgetting to eat and sleep.
It wasn't until his twentieth-plus viewing of Howard's video that his gaze inadvertently fell upon the model of the Stark Industries Expo.
A sudden flash of inspiration struck him.
Iron Man shot upright.
"No way?"
Iron Man's eyes widened involuntarily.
He couldn't contain his excitement and immediately called Pepper: "Pepper, I remember you have a model of the Stark Expo in your office, right? Send it over to me right away! I need it for something big!"
"Stark? Are you talking about those models? Why would you suddenly think of those models? What do you need them for?"
Pepper asked, a bit confused, "I'm very busy right now… You've dumped all the company matters on me."
"Pepper, this is very important! Have someone send it over immediately!" Iron Man didn't say much more to Pepper, constantly urging her.
Although she didn't know what new madness Iron Man was up to, hearing the urgency in his voice, Pepper immediately called Happy.
According to Iron Man's instructions, those models were delivered to Stark Tower.
After receiving the models, Iron Man immediately dismissed all unnecessary personnel, locked himself in the room, and eagerly began his experiments.
"JARVIS, please create a digital model based on this model. I need an interactive holographic display!"
As Iron Man commanded, clusters of blue light began to surge. JARVIS quickly scanned the model and created a complete holographic display.
Iron Man immediately enlarged the projection and spread it throughout the room, further confirming an idea he had previously had in his mind.
"What does this look like?" Iron Man confidently muttered to himself, answering his own question, "It looks like an atom."
"And the atomic nucleus… is right here!"
Iron Man's gaze fell on a large globe on the model.
