Chapter 355: A New Plan
Why can the new currency easily replace the real currency and become the currency that the Atrium, the Nine Realms, and even the entire universe are eager to buy? In addition to the energy properties it represents, the items that can be purchased are also the most important thing.
After all, if you want to buy something you want from someone or organization, if you can't use it, all you can do is to barter it according to the other party's requirements, or buy it in the currency specified by the other party.
Spells, Lifespans, Technologies, Products, Equipment, Dimensional Materials.
What can be purchased with the new currency is just too impressive. No one can restrain themselves. In particular, lifespan, as a short-lived race in the Nine Realms, human beings' thirst for longevity and resistance to death are all engraved in genes, just like all other living beings.
And those freaks who don't care about their lives, and those who don't need to worry about their longevity and health for the time being, will be able to buy items that suit their hearts with the new currency.
When you compare what you can buy with real money, the new money is almost out of the ordinary. The price of a new coin on the black market is enough to fetch a sky-high price at auction. But it's basically priceless.
Because the source of the new currency, apart from Hyperion, is only S.H.I.E.L.D., the country behind the Council, and the major giants that it recognizes and has qualifications.
It is also in recent times that a small number of new currencies have begun to circulate, and the number of new currencies in the black market has gradually risen, from rare to rare, and from rare to more common. Although the number in circulation is still scarce.
……
Stark Tower.
Avengers base.
"What do you mean by saying that the future may require surgery on this planet?" Nick Fury and the others looked at Ina Sandra, who had returned with Pepper, in surprise, and seemed to be shocked by the information she mentioned.
They can understand operating on people and animals, but is it serious to operate on the planet?
Even if a person has an operation that has a probability of success and failure, surgery on the planet is like a demolition of the house! Although human beings can now be regarded as entering the interstellar age, the home planet still needs to be protected, right? Especially since this planet is a member of the Nine Realms, if something goes wrong, where should they move to?
"Why do you want to operate on the planet? Could it be that something is wrong with our planet? Stark and Dr. Banner were looking elsewhere. In their opinion, the people who did the surgery were all wrong. Luke wants to operate on this planet, could it be that he has discovered some hidden catastrophe that they haven't discovered yet?
"Isn't that a bit too much? I think there might be some disagreement from the Council. Although I don't think Luke necessarily cares about their dissent. "Captain Steve thinks about the other side.
According to Luke, this should be a good thing for the life that inhabits this planet. And as the main inhabitants of this planet, the benefits for humans will be even greater. When Ina spoke up, she was ready to respond and respond to these questions. She knew that these people in front of her were the backbone of protecting this planet, and she wanted to know that if they did some big projects, there might be some minor troubles.
Heblen doesn't care about these little troubles, but relationships still need to be maintained. What's more, this is not a bad thing, and Luke has no intention of hiding it from beginning to end.
"What does he want to do? Transform this planet into a mechanical planet? Stark smiled and quipped.
Then Stark saw the smile on Ina's face, and he couldn't help but panic. If this kind of ridiculous thing is put on others, then Stark and they must not believe it at all, even if he can't do it for the time being.
But if the person who operated this was Luke, then the high level of trust would really blow the table. After all, even Stark and Banner are now two people who have access to Luke's research, but they can't keep up with the speed of Luke's technology upgrading. Or rather, they already have some of a hard time understanding Luke's recent research.
Wouldn't it really be to transform this planet into a mechanical planet, and then transform humans into mechanical life?
Stark: They know that Luke has long had mechanical memetic technology that can transform flesh and blood into mechanical creatures. And Luke's technology is changing with each passing day, and it is extremely fast to change within the data dimension, who knows how far he has updated this technology now.
Although mechanical life is good, Stark doesn't want to be a robot himself. He still recognizes and likes his human identity and feelings at the moment.
They have discussed similar issues before, but the conversion of a part of the human race to other types of life without a full conversion would have a great impact on the foundation of humanity and the stability of the race.
"It's kind of ridiculous." Knowing that even if Luke made up his mind, even if all of them were against it, it would be useless, but Dr. Banner shook his head, somewhat reluctant to accept it.
But Nick's face is quite normal, or he rarely shows micro-expressions in non-essential moments except in front of Luke and the others, which makes people speculate about his psychology. He's tied up too deep with Luke, and he knows Luke well, knowing that he won't really do anything too much to the planet and humanity.
After all, there are all kinds of planets and civilizations in the starry sky, and humans and earth can also be found in the multiverse, with his understanding of Luke, there is no need for the other party to experiment with some dangerous technology in his own home.
"Are you here to reveal the rumors at the front station, so let's be mentally prepared first?" Nick asked softly as he looked at Ina.
"Yes, it's hard to hide this kind of action from you, and it's not good to notify you when the plan is actually implemented and let you cooperate." Ina replied implicitly.
"What about Stephen Strange? Do those mages know? Nick remembered another group of people.
Although the current atrium still has an extremely strong presence in the eyes of some dimensional demon gods, whether it is Dormammu or Mephisto, etc., they no longer have the heart to break through the enchantment and then make trouble on this planet and devour this world.
Are you kidding!
This is also their home base! Who has nothing to do to blow up their core turf to play?
Even if one day there are really other demon gods who want to invade the atrium, it is estimated that before they can find a way to break through the barrier that the mages have strengthened layer after layer, they will first have to face the righteous group of demon gods from the shareholder seat of the energy bank.
Is there a great increase in security?
This also allows Strange to be the Supreme Mage who has a lot of time to travel outside without worrying too much about the safety of the atrium. Because he knew that if something really went wrong in the atrium and even Luke couldn't intervene, then his best outcome would be to be buried with the planet.
"Of course, they'll be the first to know, just like you. Before I came, the Ancient One had gone to consult with Dr. Stephen. Ina Sandra replied.
"Then listen to Luke's [surgery], what kind of big plan is it." Stark spread his hands helplessly.
"This has something to do with the latest discovery of a universe by the Energy Bank. At the moment, most of their attention is still on that universe. I've heard that Loki has sent at least three armies of conquerors to that universe. Ina said.
"Is that new universe powerful?" Hearing Ina's words, Stark and the others looked at her in disbelief. They weren't ignorant of what the Energy Bank did. Although they are not very comfortable with invading other worlds and conquering other worlds, they also understand that sometimes once they take a step, many things are no longer controllable.
After all, now their world is changing with each passing day, and even the internal large-scale war has completely disappeared, which is inseparable from Luke and the energy bank. The official is busy trying to get on the bus, the giants are busy making money, and the development of interstellar and the exchange of civilizations have allowed many companies to take advantage of the situation to mushroom after a rain and develop rapidly.
And the large number of jobs and money also makes the people of various countries busy, and there is no time to take care of anything other than to make money. The changes in the past few decades, even Stark and them sighed a little.
Even if he is as moral as a captain, he can only acquiesce to this situation and not add to the chaos. What he can do is try not to pay attention to these news and information, not to delve into the inside story and so on. But even so, he knew that Loki was in charge of the management, cooperated with S.H.I.E.L.D., and was a violent agency under the Energy Bank, and under the leadership of Hela, the sister of the nursery, he had conquered many opponents and other worlds.
But right now, it sounds like something is going wrong with a newfound world?
"It's up to you to define it. That world was a bit of a trouble, but that was for later. Ina replied in general terms, turning the subject back: "But Luke did get some ideas and inspiration from that universe.
Transforming the planet was one of his inspirations this time. Because he discovered and learned about an incredible planet in that universe. It is alive. ”
"Wait a minute, planet with life? I remember someone who said something similar to me. Stark raised an eyebrow, he seemed to remember who he had heard of similar from.
"Peter Quayle, the most famous and infamous Star-Lord in the stars. I've heard his name in the universe, and he formed a team called the Guardians of the Galaxy. "Nick quickly thought of a troublesome figure that was causing headaches and numbness in many civilized universes.
"That's him! I've seen him in the data dimension, and he's told me he's seen a living planet. Stark pointed to Nick, confirming his words. I thought he was making up stories. ”
"Ego, which is recorded in the records of Heblelen, is a living planet with a long lifespan. But it's not a species. The planet with the will to live over there is more like an unhatched egg. When it comes out of the egg, it's called Titan. Ina thought about the information she had scanned in Luke's lab.
"If you are interested in this information, you can go to the data dimension to search and query for yourself. You, especially Tony and Bruce, should have access to this kind of classified information. ”
Inat nodded to Stark and Dr. Banner, who used their skills and knowledge to increase their authority in the data dimension, and it can be said that there is very little information that they are not authorized to read. But they don't just read the information. After all, in the data dimension, it costs money to read knowledge and information. They don't have complete financial freedom, which allows them to browse the vast amount of information without caring about spending.
"Luke wants to make a planet like that. Of course, unlike the other party's eventual formation of Titans, Luke's plan is to make the Atrium a living planet with powerful energy similar to worlds such as Asgard. To put it simply, it is to give a planet a soul, and this soul will carry some kind of powerful energy. ”
"The benefits? I know Luke must have his own intentions in doing this, but I need to know more before I can cooperate with him to impress or fool the people on the council above. Nick asked cautiously.
"You don't have to waste too much talk with them, you just need to tell them that after a successful transformation, if they can get the approval of that energy, they can live long enough, even thousands of years." Ina directly gave an answer that Nick couldn't refuse. This answer was enough for Nick, and for those on the Council, including the leaders of other factions.
It's a version of the answer they can't refuse, and it's a one-hit answer that's enough to make them put aside all arguments and cooperate. As Ina said, this one condition is enough for those people.
"That energy is also a better source of energy for the mages, more in line with their spells. In Luke's words, it's milder, more stable, and less hidden than psionic energy. Ina made the second point, and Nick guessed that the answer was 100% for the mages.
"If you can study that energy thoroughly, then you won't need to order a high-latitude energy package from Hyperion for those various Mark suits. You can gather and harness those powers yourself. In the case of excessive extraction without exhaustion, Heblen will not make any restrictions on this energy. Ina said this by looking at Tony Stark. Her words undoubtedly moved Tony's heart.
"As for the rest, you can find out for yourselves. But if it is used well, this energy can play a huge role in promoting the entire human civilization. Be ye prepared accordingly. ”
