Tony looked blankly at the tin box in front of him. His dead father had sent him a courier. He asked Jarvis to check it. There was no shipping address and no shipping time, as if the courier appeared out of thin air.
Jarvis, the old courier man, also checked and found that he really existed, but his identities were diverse, including ordinary old people, celebrities, and columnists...
The strange thing is that no one discovered the old man's multiple identities.
"This is too strange..."
Tony frowned, and his pupils suddenly dilated. After focusing again, he seemed to have forgotten about the courier, and Jarvis next to him did not remind him.
The tin box was opened, Tony raised his hand and brushed through the diaries, and at the end there was another video tape.
He couldn't help grinning. To be honest, he was a little scared.
The previous video was a countdown to his father's death. This time, it could be his mother, right?
After a fierce ideological struggle, he picked up the videotape and played it. If it was a nightmare scene, he only hoped to find clues to the murderer.
After the screen flashed, we got to the point. Howard Stark appeared on the screen, with his long back and meticulously combed hair. He was full of energy and looked like a successful man.
Seeing this face, Tony couldn't help but feel a little jealous. In his memory, his father's appearance had not changed since middle age, and so had his mother. It was as if time had frozen on both of them, and their appearance would never grow old.
"This bastard, despite his age, actually looks younger than me."
Tony murmured to himself, and Howard smiled slightly in the picture and said: "Tony, are you envious of my ageless appearance? Don't think about it, you have no chance, and I will not let you have this chance, after all..."
Howard looked gloomy in the picture, paused for a moment and laughed again: "Tony, when you see this tape, Maria and I are already dead. There is no way, the enemy is too powerful."
"Of course, maybe I didn't die, but lost everything and became a slave without self, an empty shell like a walking zombie..."
"Tony, I won't tell you who the enemy is, and I don't want you to avenge us. That is not an opponent you can challenge..."
"This world is far broader than you imagine, full of infinite unknowns and possibilities. You may find it incredible, but I want to warn you, myths are all true..."
"Tony, remember not to be arrogant and arrogant. When facing the world, you must be full of awe!"
The video ended here. Howard was full of caring words throughout the video, and at the end he even poured a bowl of chicken soup.
Tony read it in a daze and was a little disappointed that he couldn't find the picture of his mother. Then he read and pondered the text over and over again, trying to find the hidden code.
But no, it was just an ordinary video.
"A powerful enemy... The world is very big... A sense of awe... So, you should make it clear who the enemy is!"
Tony rubbed his temples, ignored the chicken soup and a lot of nonsense, trying to find clues about the enemy, but was confused by Howard's attitude in his words.
Although he knew he was going to die, he was extremely calm, or calm, and his tone was extremely solemn, jumping repeatedly between seriousness and indifference.
I had a feeling that I was going to die, but I didn't panic at all because there was a high chance that I wouldn't die.
All kinds of contradictions.
"In the end, you still died..."
Tony shook his head to dispel the unclear thoughts in his mind. This tape came too late. He was very sure that his father Howard was killed by the enemy in an extremely cruel way.
If not, mother Maria's situation is similar.
After being missing for fifteen years, he got such a cruel result. Tony clenched his fists. From today on, he is not only the superhero Iron Man, he is also an Avenger.
The footage of the video tape was played in a loop. Tony sat quietly for a moment and began to sort out the notes his father had left for him. Seeing this, his whole body felt bad.
The knowledge recorded in the notebooks far exceeded his imagination and was ahead of the current era by an unknown number of years. Picking out a book at random would bring him countless wealth.
Across the ages?
No, rather than crossing an era, it would be better to say that it crossed directly into the galaxy.
"You guy..."
Tony looked at Howard on the screen in astonishment and said in disbelief: "What happened back then? Who were you fighting? Where did you get the knowledge?"
After three questions in a row, but no one answered, Tony swallowed, picked up the notes with trembling hands and read them word by word.
Flipping through the notebooks, he quickly found an upgraded version of the Ark Reactor, a brand-new element that perfectly replaced palladium as energy output.
In addition to drawing the particle structure of the new element, this note also notes that the finished product has been produced, and new elements can be synthesized with the help of an accelerator using a-ray bombardment of natural radioactive elements.
"He did it on purpose, just like teaching a child..."
Tony closed his note in depression, feeling quite bad when his dead dad showed off his face.
And, he knew, this was just the beginning.
Sure enough, in the ten red-covered notebooks, a series of drawings were used to draw hundreds of steel battle suit designs, including the nano battle suit that he had always envisioned but had stalled due to technical problems.
There is a lot of blank space after the notes. There are no drawings, only follow-up concept drawings, such as the steel suit with infinity stones embedded in it.
"There are six infinity stones in the universe, each with infinite energy. I have only studied two of them so far. Due to material issues, I cannot embed them into the armor, and vibranium cannot be perfect. Maybe magic will
Be the best way to solve problems..."
Tony clicked on the last line of the note with his fingertips. Several new words made him subconsciously purse his lips. He took deep breaths to calm down, but in the end he couldn't hold it back.
"Damn it, what happened back then? Were you abducted by aliens, or did you go to the future? Tell me!"
Curiosity tortured Tony to the point of ecstasy. The technology in the notes was very perfect and could be used immediately. It could be said that there was no sense of achievement.
So Tony is more concerned about what Howard went through in his life fifteen years ago, no, starting from the time Howard did not age.
Tony's intuition told him that this was very important.
With a powerful mind like his, Howard imagined that Howard discovered a mysterious force and then infiltrated it. Because of the force's crazy plan to destroy the world, Howard resisted angrily and was brutally killed.
Just when Tony was going crazy, Jarvis suddenly said: "Sir, Nick Fury from SHIELD is here. He is waiting for you in the living room."
"who?"
Tony was stunned and speechless: "Jarvis, how did he get in? Did you let him in?"
"No, he has your fingerprint lock and password, and he opened the door himself."
Damn it!
Tony cursed in his mind, he knew that the purpose of Nick Fury's visit was nothing more than Monaco-related, but with a whole box of knowledge in front of him, he didn't have the time to waste time with a matte black charcoal.
"Tell the robber in the living room that I'm not here and call the police station. A thief broke into my house."
Jarvis replied: "Sir, Nick Fury knows you are at home, and you called the police last time, and it turns out he has a license."
Tony's face grew long, and suddenly, his eyes lit up. For information that Jarvis could not find, SHIELD might be able to ask Jarvis to save the two videos, and he walked towards the living room upstairs.
"Director Fury, please sit down... Oh, you've already sat down. You're very welcome."
Tony greeted him warmly and said politely: "You look so good. Let me guess, it must be because of me that you found an honest reason to skip work, right?"
"Tony Stark, it's amazing that you can maintain a good attitude despite the chaos outside."
"No, my mentality is about to explode. In the past fifteen years, I have never been as confused as I am today."
Having seen Tony's nonsense, Nick Fury didn't think much and said bluntly: "I'm here for the mysterious man in Monaco. He owns your steel suit. Can you tell me what's going on?"
Tony was silent for a moment and said unwillingly: "That is not my steel suit, nor is it my technology. The technology of that steel suit is more advanced than mine."
"you sure?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
Nick Fury narrowed his eyes slightly: "To be honest, sometimes I can't tell whether you are talking nonsense or answering questions seriously."
"My pleasure."
Tony shrugged, stared at Nick Fury and said seriously: "I am very serious, my steel suit is technologically backward, and it is an old product from decades ago."
"What's the meaning?"
"literal meaning……"
Tony laughed at himself: "Someone invented the steel suit a long time ago. I might not have been born at that time."
"Tony Stark, I'm not here to listen to your nonsense, but to help you solve the dilemma in front of you."
"Director Fury, this world is far broader than you imagine, full of infinite unknowns and possibilities. You may find it incredible, but I want to warn you, myths are all true..."
"?"
Nick Fury's face changed slightly, feeling that Tony's mental state was not right today, and he looked very shocked.
Because a certain plan required Tony's brains and skills, he had no choice but to persuade him: "I know you were hit hard because of the Monaco incident, but the identity of the other party is the key, and I need your cooperation..."
"No, no, it was not Monaco that hit me, but an old guy from decades ago."
Tony raised his hand to interrupt Nick Fury, his face extremely solemn: "Director Fury, do you know my father, Howard Stark?"
Nick Fury had a sudden thought, and Acting Online said: "The founder of Stark Industries, a well-known scientist, and a very successful businessman."
"Also, what else does SHIELD know?"
"..."
Hearing what Tony said, Nick Fury felt confident and decided not to hide it anymore: "You know everything?"
Sure enough he knew!
Tony took a deep breath and nodded seriously: "Yes, I know everything. Tell me what happened back then."
"Well, actually it's not an important secret. It's about your father's establishment of SHIELD..."
"Wait, what did you say, my father founded S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Tony looked confused: "Damn old guy, how many things has he hidden and hasn't told me yet."
Nick Fury's old face was extremely dark, and he felt like he was being tricked. He snorted coldly: "Tell me now, what do you know?"
"I hope SHIELD can provide some clues about my father's invention of the Iron Suit, his murder, etc."
"..."
Nick Fury's eyelids twitched slightly, and he looked at Tony expressionlessly: "Tell me everything you know, and don't mix any messy things in it."
