He's Spider-Man in Marvel, but he insists I'm Superman.

A few days later, Tony’s oceanfront villa stood quietly atop the cliffs of Malibu’s coastline.

Deep within the underground laboratory, a temporary workbench supported by a titanium alloy frame gleamed with a cold metallic sheen, while a temperature control system hummed at a low frequency, precisely maintaining the laboratory's constant temperature environment.

Peter is working with Tony on miniaturization tests of the Arc Reactor.

At this moment, Tony was wearing carbon nanofiber gloves and pointing and gesturing in the air.

Of course, this was not because he had a mental problem, but because he was constantly observing and manipulating the detailed blueprints and data of the Arc Reactor projected by Jarvis in the air.

"The key to miniaturization is to eliminate complex and redundant steps and devices, but stability must never be sacrificed."

Tony's fingertips swept across the holographic projection, and he tossed an extra heat dissipation module into the virtual trash can next to it.

"The safety factor for large reactors is 1.8, but it must be increased to 2.3 after miniaturization; otherwise, the magnetic confinement field will collapse under high-frequency loads."

To miniaturize a large arc reactor, every detail must be perfected.

The holographic projection hovering at his fingertips was constantly disassembling the core blueprint of the Arc Reactor in accordance with his movements.

The 1:5 scale microstructure rotates continuously in mid-air, with each weld and each superconducting coil marked with parameters accurate to the nanometer level.

Soon after, the cumbersome processes and procedures of the Arc Reactor were continuously simplified, and various unnecessary facilities and nodes were gradually removed by Tony.

Peter stood beside the workbench, dressed in a custom-made lab coat, his gaze fixed intently on the ever-changing blueprint model.

He held a data logger in his hand, synchronizing Jarvis's calculation parameters in real time.

"Tony, the last simulation failed because the energy density of the palladium target exceeded the critical value. This time, we reduced the target diameter from 30 mm to 28 mm, and the energy density should be able to be controlled within the critical value."

"Peter, you learn very quickly."

Tony looked at Peter with a hint of admiration in his eyes, then flicked his finger, and the holographic blueprint shrank again in front of him.

The originally complex pipeline was optimized into a three-dimensional braided structure, and the redundant sensor nodes were reduced from 16 to 8.

The virtual projection suspended in the air continued to shrink until finally, a small model of an arc reactor with a diameter of only 12.7 centimeters floated in mid-air, with cold blue light patterns flowing on its surface, like condensed stars.

"Jarvis, initiate the thirty-ninth full-condition simulation."

Tony's voice was slightly hoarse; the exhaustion from sleeping only a few hours for several days in a row had coalesced into a determined light in his eyes.

"Load the emergency power supply load curve of the particle collider, simulate continuous operation, and detect three core indicators: magnetic confinement field uniformity, energy leakage rate, and palladium consumption rate."

"Received, sir."

Jarvis's electronic voice was calm and even: "Analog computation has started and is expected to take 6 minutes and 43 seconds. The current computing resource utilization rate is 87%, and the processor cluster is running at full speed."

"Tony, will it run perfectly this time?"

Peter stood to one side, his eyes fixed on the small, virtual model of the arc reactor that was slowly rotating in the void, his gaze filled with anticipation.

At this moment, the model of the arc reactor is basically the same as the one Peter saw in the movie in his previous life, except for minor differences in details.

This is quite normal, after all, it's just a science fiction movie and can't compare to the real world right now.

"It should be possible. After all, in the last simulation, it was only because of some very minor details that the simulation ran for hundreds of hours before suddenly shutting down."

Although Tony looked relaxed at this moment, his eyes still held a strong expectation for the simulation results.

The moment the simulation started, the virtual reactor model suddenly lit up with a cold white light, like a miniature star being ignited.

The pure, unblemished light proves that the magnetic confinement field is in a perfect state.

The holographic timer above began to tick rapidly, with each second corresponding to an hour in reality.

100 hour, 300 hours, 500 hours...

The energy flow curve remained a stable sine wave without any noise interference.

Peter held his breath as the data logger kept updating its readings.

"The magnetic confinement field uniformity is 99.87%, the energy leakage rate is <0.001%, and the palladium consumption rate is uniform and stable, fully meeting the design standards!"

Tony's gaze never left the model, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the worktable, the rhythm keeping pace with the ticking of the timer.

When the time jumped to 752 hours, 36 minutes, and 54 seconds, the reactor's light slowly faded, gradually dimming like breathing, and finally returned to calm.

There was no energy explosion, no parameter mutation, and the palladium was just exhausted. The whole process was as smooth as a precise clock.

"Jarvis... how did it go?"

At this moment, Tony's expression was very serious, but there was an uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.

"The simulation lasted 752 hours, 36 minutes and 54 seconds, exceeding the design target by 4.5%."

Jarvis's electronic voice unusually carried a touch of rhythm: "The output power is stable at 54 billion joules per second, with a fluctuation coefficient of ±0.3%."

"The peak value of the magnetic confinement field uniformity is 99.89%, the minimum value is 99.82%, and it never falls below the threshold throughout the entire process."

"The energy conversion efficiency is 97.3%, the neutron radiation dose is 0.021 μSv/h, no safety hazards were detected, and the palladium utilization rate is 99.98%."

With each data point Jarvis reported, Tony and Peter's expressions grew increasingly tense, yet mixed with a barely concealed excitement.

"Congratulations, Mr. Stark, Mr. Parker! You have successfully created a miracle for human civilization!"

As Jarvis's slightly emotional congratulatory voice rang out, Peter and Tony couldn't help but exchange a glance, both seeing an irrepressible excitement in each other's eyes.

"We did it!"

That suspended virtual model is like a brand new star in the history of human civilization.

That deep blue light also foreshadows a new chapter in the exploration of the multiverse.

……

After a long while, the two of them finally calmed down completely.

"Tony, the reactor simulation results are almost perfect. We should be able to build the real Arc Reactor smoothly, right?"

Peter looked intently at Tony and asked softly.

"That's natural. The simulation data is impeccable throughout. As long as we follow the process and blueprints, the small arc reactor can be mass-produced and deployed."

Tony's eyes were also full of eagerness, but his expression unconsciously drifted into memories.

"Father, perhaps this is the true treasure you left me."

The original large arc reactor was designed by Tony's father, Howard Stark.

Today, Tony has not only inherited his father's achievements, but has also made a key breakthrough on the original basis.

"Peter, get ready, let's strike while the iron is hot and build our first real miniature arc reactor today!"

Tony's eyes were resolute; he was determined to carry forward the Arc Reactor technology left by his father.

"Tony, you can build the reactor on your own."

Peter, however, seemed to have no intention of joining in at this moment.

"Oh? So you're busy? Perhaps you're worried about the new Spider-Woman in New York, afraid she'll steal your thunder and fans, and you're planning to go back to New York to continue being your Super Spider-Man?"

Tony looked at Peter with surprise at first, then seemed to understand instantly, and raised his eyebrows teasingly.

While the two were engrossed in developing the reactor, a new superhero, Spider-Woman, emerged in New York, her popularity soaring and even overshadowing the long-absent Super Spider-Man.

"Of course not! I became Spider-Man not to be admired or loved by others."

"I'm just looking for some helpers for future particle collision experiments."

"A helper? Let me make this clear first, I'm very picky. I won't accept anyone who doesn't meet my standards!"

Tony has always been a loner, and there are very few people he can truly respect.

"Tony, have you ever heard of the Hulk?"
