Chapter 363: Time and Space Travel
"That's a good idea!" Tony and Dr. Banner looked at each other in amazement, "We've been worried that we've been doing too much experimentation and causing too many impacts, and we're going to create new parallel worlds!" ”
There is never any example of success in traveling through time, and every experiment is equivalent to an adventure, after all, no one can be sure whether there will be any dangers during the experiment, let alone whether it will inadvertently cause any adverse consequences to the past.
Such experiments are irreversible, and it is impossible to send people back to change the history that has been changed. And the worst thing is that the people who are affected don't even have a memory at all, they only think that history is like this, they don't know what it was like at all, and they can't change it if they want to.
If a spirit can be sent to the past, it can have a minimal impact on the past while ensuring the safety of the experimenter. At the very least, there will be no exaggerated situation of saving yourself, falling in love with yourself, giving birth to yourself, and killing yourself.
"I have consulted with the Ancient One Mage, parallel worlds are not easy to appear, and only those events that will have a huge impact can make it possible to generate new parallel worlds." Tony explained in detail.
"The creation of a new world requires a huge amount of energy, and this energy can only be provided by the universe itself, except for those who deliberately create parallel worlds."
"If even something as small as going out to the left or turning right can generate a new parallel world, then the energy that this universe needs to provide is too much. Intelligent life is endless, and the choices of every moment are naturally innumerable, and the universe is completely unable to bear this level of energy supply. ”
"Doesn't that mean that the more intelligent life there is, the faster the universe will perish?"
"In my judgment, normally speaking, unless it involves the six Infinity Stones, powered by the Infinity Stones, it is difficult to make the universe regenerate parallel worlds."
"So, from this point of view, the emergence of Zhan 6 is quite incredible for us to give birth to this parallel universe!" Tony pinched his chin, thoughtful.
Otherworldly Tony thought about it sideways, and also thought it was quite strange, "You mean that Zhan Six has powered the birth of the entire parallel universe?" Or did some Infinity Stone pay for his energy? ”
"I don't know......" Tony shook his head slowly, and said hesitantly, "Maybe when he crossed over, what treasures on his body were absorbed by the universe?" ”
Dr. Banner interrupted their contemplation with a wave of his hand, "Whatever! Does this have anything to do with us? We just need to make sure that no new parallel universes are created. ”
"Well, you're right." The two Tony smiled relievedly, "We're just habitually curious, that's all." ”
"At that point in time, there should only be space gems on the earth, as long as you are careful not to touch it, you should not have to worry about this problem."
Dr. Banner reminded, "When I say touch, I also mean combat ripple, so it's best to kill him instantly when you do it!" ”
"Don't give him a chance to explode!"
"You and I both know how terrifying the speed of progress is when the magnetic field warrior is facing a life-and-death situation. Although the Magnetic Field Warrior does not have as much energy as the Infinity Stones, we don't have enough data to show how much energy it would take to create a new parallel universe, and what if the high-level Magnetic Field Warrior could also provide enough energy? ”
"Don't worry!" Tony said confidently: "At that time, Master Zhan Liu only had nine heavens, and even if the realm was raised, it would take a few seconds, enough for me to kill him ten thousand times." What's more, his realm will still be stuck in the Fifty Heavens by the Ultimate Immeasurable Qigong. ”
Dr. Banner thought about it and couldn't find a reason to fail.
"In terms of combat, there shouldn't be any worries. With mental calculations or unintentional, you will definitely be able to wipe out the culprit of the world turmoil without anyone realizing it. ”
"Is it true that the time and place of the specific exhibition six have been determined?"
"This is data from the S.H.I.E.L.D. database, and I don't think anyone will be able to falsify this in advance."
"Could it be possible that we had assassinated Zhan Six before, but failed, so he could change the data?" Otherworldly Tony cautiously suggests a possibility.
Tony looked at him speechlessly for a moment, and sighed, "You haven't been in contact with Master Zhanliu, so you don't know his character. If there really is such a thing, I believe that he will come and kill me directly, instead of doing some trick to modify the data. ”
Dr. Banner nodded in agreement, "Yes, he's the kind of person who thinks very simply and directly. If he can solve the problem in the simplest way, he will definitely not take the slightest detour. ”
Seeing that Dr. Banner said the same, Tony of the Other World also learned a little about Zhan Liu's character, but he thought for a moment and continued to ask, "What if he doesn't know that the person who attacked him is you?" ”
"Hmm......" Tony and Dr. Banner looked at each other, looked down for a moment, and said, "That's probably not changing at all, just waiting for someone else to come to the door again." ”
"Is it so iron-headed?" Otherworldly Tony wasn't convinced.
"He's the dead eye of this kind of character." Tony and the two laughed wryly, "For example, he's a staunch nationalist who looks down on Americans." He obviously knows English, but he just doesn't speak it, and he has to let everyone speak Chinese with him. If you don't speak Chinese, even if you want to visit a teacher, he won't accept anything. ”
Otherworldly Tony rolled his eyes, completely unaware of this way of thinking.
"Okay, since you're so sure, there's no problem with the time and place of Zhanliu's crossing, so let's set the experimental coordinates according to this data. But just in case, I'd recommend moving the time forward a little earlier. ”
This has been agreed by everyone, "It is a safe way to adjust a little earlier and prepare more margins." We let the spirit projection during the experiment, confirm that this time and place are correct, and then officially start to carry out the crossing plan, so that we can not make mistakes. ”
"Other small mistakes don't matter, but the taboo of crossing must be taken care of. Travel through the same timeline, two people at different times in the same world cannot meet, otherwise the person at the back of the time point will be wiped out under the influence of the law of time! ”
】
Dr. Banner slapped Tony on the shoulder, "So, Tony, remember all the detailed itinerary of your trip during that time!" ”
"Oh my!" Tony's shoulder collapsed, and his face immediately turned into a bitter melon, "That's a huge amount of work, and it's been so many years, it's too hard to remember it all." ”
"Who made you wander all day long, how good it is to be in the lab all day long like me! Home-school-lab, three points and one line, it is easy to recall all the trips. Dr. Banner gloated.
Otherworldly Tony lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and comforted: "Actually, you don't have to be so embarrassed, we don't need to know your detailed itinerary at all, just know where you are during that time." It's hard to remember where you've been, but it's easier to think about where you've been, right? ”
"Haven't been anywhere in that time?" Tony pondered for a moment, "That's easy!" I hadn't been to Chinatown at all before I knew that Zhan Six existed, not once! ”
"That's easy!" Dr. Banner stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, "We've arranged the crossing in Chinatown so that you don't have to meet your old self." ”
Tony asked, "There's another question, how can we be sure that the world that the spirit projection has traveled through is our timeline?" ”
"This is simple, there is Zhanliu who has crossed over is our timeline, and if you don't have it, it's not!" Dr. Banner laughed.
"That's too simplistic, isn't it?" Otherworldly Tony looked at Dr. Banner in surprise, "We don't know if there are new parallel worlds in your universe, after all, even the earth has been blown up three times, and the six Infinity Stones have appeared in turn, so it's not strange if there are a few more parallel worlds, right?" ”
It dawned on Dr. Banner that he was stuck in a state of mind, and that he had taken it for granted.
At this moment, several people fell silent, and after thinking carefully, it took a long time before Tony said:
"We can choose a secret place on Earth in advance as a hiding place, so that the spirit projection can leave a token in the hiding place after it arrives at its destination. If the time machine travels through the same timeline, then the token will be hidden in that hidden point, and we can check the token at this point in time. But if the machine also travels to parallel space, then we can't see anything at this point in time. ”
"This way it works!" The three of them raised the coffee in their hands, substituted it for wine, and touched it gently.
The efficiency of such geniuses sitting together and discussing a problem is often not a simple addition, but an exponential increase, or even a qualitative change. The collision of ideas between geniuses often leads to more sparks of inspiration. After solving a problem again, several people became more interested and the discussion became more and more enthusiastic.
"Then it's time to think about what to do if the experiment fails. How can we identify the causes of failures and improve them? ”
This is a very serious question.
When it comes to scientific experiments, the vast majority end in failure. All scientists will face failure from time to time, even geniuses such as Tony Stark and Bruce Banner are the darlings of the Marvel world, but they have failed a few times, but it is impossible not to fail.
Failure is the mother of success, for scientists, experimental failure is not terrible, as long as enough data can be obtained, it means that a wrong experimental method can be successfully eliminated, lessons learned, and corrected next time.
The most fearful thing is that if the experiment fails, but not enough experimental data is collected, and the reason for the failure is not known, let alone avoided, then the next experiment is very likely to end in failure.
Experiments of this level are too expensive to be performed multiple times, so enough information and data must be collected for each experiment.
"We can add an information collection device to the crossing machine, so that the spirit projection can carry the relevant equipment and record the whole process of the experiment. With these experimental data, it is much easier for us to analyze them. ”
"You're thinking too idealistic, what if the spirit projection encounters the enemy and is destroyed? Without the spirit projection to control the time machine, the machine would not be able to come back at all, so what was the use of recording the experimental data? ”
"How about we try to recycle it on a regular basis?"
"This is also a solution, but the task time for the spirit projection after the timing is relatively rushed, and it may affect the spirit projection to complete the task of stealing Pym particles."
"Then let the spirit projection reach its destination, and store the time machine in a hiding point. If the task is successfully completed, start the time machine and come back. If the mission fails and the spirit projection is destroyed, then we can see the detailed data at this point in time. ”
"What if the projection and machine are destroyed or captured by the enemy and don't come back?"
"Then just use the information gathering device as a token and hide it in a hiding point. If the machine comes back without any problems, we will directly use the first-hand data. If the machine doesn't succeed in coming back, we can read the data directly on the token if the same timeline is used. If not the same timeline...... Then we can only declare the experiment a complete failure! The timeline isn't right, the machine hasn't returned, the data hasn't been available yet, and what's worse, we've lost even the soul gems that power them up. ”
"Soul gems can't be lost, so I think it's best to redesign the power system and use external energy supply, so that the soul gems don't travel through time and space with the time machine."
"But in this way, the machine becomes a one-way ticket, and it can't come back?"
"It's okay, it doesn't matter if the spirit projection is lost, but the soul gem can't be lost. As for the data, let's use what is left in the hidden spots! The Pym particles stolen by the spirit projection were also placed in the hiding point. When it came time to officially carry out the mission, I used Pym particles as power. ”
"That's fine!"
The three of Tony high-fived each other and agreed.
After careful study of some details, the corresponding problems were solved, and after much thought, they finally determined that there were no omissions and could start to modify.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and before modifying, you must first learn.
Tony and the others first got the relevant textbooks of spirit science from Tony of the Otherworld, and then quickly studied them under the guidance of Tony of the Other World.
Famous teachers and apprentices, geniuses learn at an exaggerated speed, and within a few days, Tony and Dr. Banner have thoroughly eaten the knowledge of spirit science.
The three of them easily modified the crossing machine, and transformed the power device that was originally intended to use the time gem into a special soul gem, and provided it with the power required for crossing through the external soul gem.
The original teleportation chamber was also equipped with a special channel for spirits to prepare for the projection of spirits through the experiment.
After several debugging sessions, the trio finally confirmed that there should be no problems with this version of the time machine, and they can start the actual experiment.
However, when they contacted Steve and others to borrow the soul gem, they found out that something was wrong on the Avengers' side, and Steve and the others were missing.
