Chapter 55: There Must Be a Backup Plan, Right? (4k)
Destroying the world and destroying the earth is the ultimate task that supervillains dream of, and it is the most difficult 'villain achievement'.
This achievement, in Marvel's countless parallel worlds, has only been achieved by a very small number of supervillains and blackened heroes.
After all, that's a planet of 60 trillion tons!
If the average person said such a thing, Fury would definitely give him two big mouths and let him experience the high-end food in the S.H.I.E.L.D. prison.
But what if this sentence refers to Tony Stark, the best scientist of our time, the biggest arms dealer, and the super-genius who has been called "God sent him to make the earth move"?
Looking at Stark, whose eyes lit up and paced in place while instilling various physical theories to several people, Fury shuddered with some panic.
Stark's theories, he didn't know anything.
But Fury knows that destroying the earth -
It is not to the extent of razing the earth's surface, but to completely shatter the entire earth into an asteroid belt or turn into cosmic dust, even if the power of the five constants is gathered, it cannot be done.
The nuclear bomb is the 'sword of God' of mankind today, the most powerful weapon.
Mankind now has more than 15,000 nuclear weapons, which is enough to completely wash the surface of the earth several times, but even if ten or a hundred times more nuclear bombs are detonated on the earth, it will be insignificant to the earth.
For Earth, this is about the level of a mild burn:
Boom, the nuclear bomb explosion hurts, I have to cultivate for 100,000 years - from the 5 billion year old wrecking ball.
According to the precise calculations of S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists, in order to destroy the earth's 'binding energy' and disintegrate it, it will take 1,000 trillion of the largest nuclear bomb "Tsar" to do it, but the resources on the earth are simply not enough to make so many nuclear bombs.
So, Stark, what exactly are you going to do?
At the same time, Stark began the text after a series of theoretical descriptions and a review of the principle structure of the model:
"Britney, the Stockinger Man, I thought her special ability was a kind of material restructuring at first, but in fact it is not, she actually decomposes and reorganizes matter by manipulating a group of micron-sized special insects.
The Earth is huge, but as long as there are a sufficient number of 'decomposers', it can be turned into cosmic dust. So, boys, I'm saying it so obviously, do you know what the great Stark is going to do? ”
"Von Neumann machines?"
"Self-replicating automaton!"
Li Hao and Banner spoke almost at the same time, and the different terms essentially referred to the same thing: to have the 'machine' constantly replicate and self-execute itself based on its self-consistent logic.
'Ultron' has such ability.
But obviously in this world, Ultron should not be born.
Under the threat of the 'Last Day', Stark did not pin his hopes on artificial intelligence and high-end robots, but entrusted the 'heavy responsibility' of destroying the earth to the 'nanoworms'.
Stark walked over to the projection screen and played his simulation.
A tube of nanoworms weighing about a few tens of grams fell on the earth, and the test tube that kept them unexpectedly broke, and the escaped nanoworms began to replicate themselves, as long as there were enough carbon, silicon, iron and other elements, they could replicate themselves every two seconds.
A minute later, the total weight of the nanoworms that replicated themselves thirty times exceeded a million tons, filling a block; Two minutes later, the Americas were flooded with nanobugs; Five minutes later, the entire surface of the earth is covered with a layer of nanoworms, which begin to erode the earth from the surface, constantly converting matter into new nanoworms
In twenty minutes at most, the Earth was swallowed up, leaving only a huge cloud of fog particles that spread rapidly through the hollow silence of space.
"Of course, this is the ideal situation." Humming a brisk ditty, Stark continued to the crowd:
"But I think, in an hour at most, the earth will become cosmic dust!"
Bastard, how did you manage to sing 'Eighteen Touches' while saying such terrifying 'world-destroying things' as if discussing what afternoon tea to drink?
"That's a good idea!" To everyone's surprise, Dr. Banner actually affirmed Stark's methods, but then he sighed faintly and looked at Stark and frowned:
"What about those nanoworms after destroying another Earth? They will destroy us, and even more planets! ”
"I can set it up on the source program so that all the nanoworms die an hour after birth, or arrange for them to fly to the sun after they have finished devouring"
Li Hao knocked on the table, looked at Stark and said:
"They've copied trillions of times, and in reality, what if there's a copy error and there's a child without your source code?"
Stark stared at Li Hao deadly, wanting to say loudly that it was impossible to make the nanoworm copy process wrong and leak at his own level. However, he was silent.
No matter how elaborate and rigorous the program is, as long as it exists, there will always be loopholes.
He was confident that the devouring copy of the nanoworm was absolutely under his control, but he had no way to refute Li Hao's remarks.
However, this is the most reliable, efficient and low-cost means in his opinion, otherwise it would not be the first to speak.
Well. In the past, when I wanted to sell arms, the buyer hesitated to use what words?
CN Threat Theory? Maozi threat theory? As soon as these two statements came out, they were basically stable, and then compared with their similar products, it reflected the superiority of the América weapon.
Stark's eyes lit up, can't it be better, can't it be worse than bad?
What's more, the other methods are either expensive and difficult to implement, and these disadvantages are greater than the disadvantages of 'accidents with a very low probability'?
Stark sighed, didn't dwell too much on the nanoworms, and went straight to the next method.
"Accelerate a five-centimeter-long vibranium needle to almost the speed of light and shoot it towards Earth.
The moment the needle hits the atmosphere, the molecules in the atmosphere will fuse at extremely high temperatures, forming a huge shock wave that will blow the Earth into an asteroid belt that stretches for millions of kilometers."
The shortcomings of this method can be understood even by Fury, who did not go to college.
Another Earth is blown to pieces, then of course a large number of 'debris' will be blown up to the Earth, bringing an unprecedented super meteorite shower, even if you are prepared, I am afraid that you can only clean up the 'large pieces of debris' that will affect the entire Earth.
Falling pieces of debris can still trigger a near-nuclear explosion, causing countless casualties, but the survival of humanity and the safety of the planet should be saved.
"Next!"
“OK!” The advantages and disadvantages of this plan are quite obvious, and since even Fury understands it, there is no need to continue to dwell on it.
Spreading his hands to Fury, who frowned, Stark talked about other methods.
'Wandering Moon': Propelling the Moon to hit another Earth, but triggering massive waves and giant storms that will devastate more than a billion humans in coastal areas and destabilize the Earth's axis of rotation
Antimatter Bomb: Creating 25,000 tons of antimatter and sending it into the core of another Earth can cause the Earth to explode.
But even if there are a lot of black technologies in the Marvel world, this thing can't reach the level of production by the ton, let alone 10,000 tons. Even if it is produced with Stark's ingenuity, it will be very difficult to send it to the center of the earth.
Outside the space station, in the vast and infinite dark space, dotted nebulae swirl in the universe, dotting the darkness of the universe.
"In the end, only the first two are better."
In the space station, Banner squinted his eyes and pushed his glasses upward, his expression did not change at all, but his mind was like a tornado, gathering stormy waves and analyzing the feasibility of all the options.
"Plan A and B, at the same time!"
On the other side of the projection, Stark smiled slightly, and seeing that no one objected, he began to list all the resources and support he needed to Fury:
The Cosmic Rubik's Cube has to be, only its infinite energy can accelerate matter to the speed of light, and it also needs a high-tech launch site, 300 billion, Dao Le! A few more space observatories, 50 billion.
Banner floated lily in the air, his intent, deep gaze landing on a corner of the space station, where a complex machine was running with a faint humming sound.
The amount of gamma rays collected by that machine is already hailing, perhaps, there is also a plan C?
A few hours later, in S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury looked at several members of the World Security Council, and for the first time in his life, he felt that he was asking for money so hard.
"I've watched all the videos, it's 800 billion, Ding Ding, what is there to discuss? I even handed over the Rubik's Cube of the universe, this is the treasure of the universe! ”
"Ahem, we can understand the launch site, the space station, and the procurement of supplies!" The French representative coughed a few times and then took Fury's 'polished' report and said:
"But the security premium for two months is only 20 billion, isn't it a bit excessive?"
"Is it excessive?" Nick Fury glanced at several of his nominal superiors, and only felt a sense of relief:
"Among my security personnel are the crown prince of Asgard, the overlord of the universe, the American team, and the . And the security of the device that saved seven billion people is not worth 10 billion a month? ”
Fury began to go on a frenzy of output, and even secretly mentioned that many facilities were priced by Stark and purchased at Stark Group.
Several members of the Security Council suddenly felt a cool breeze behind them.
Colliding with another earth is certainly a world-destroying crisis, and they who have watched the video also feel palpitations about the impending crisis, but it seems that the crazy Stark who can come up with multiple feasible plans to destroy the world is more terrifying?
Several delegates glanced at each other, and suddenly fell silent.
In the end, the responsible representative of Xia Fang made a promise: "In principle, we do not agree. However, the funds and various materials and personnel support will be in place within three days! ”
Someone started, and several other delegates agreed one after another, even though they knew that Fury was afraid that he would be greedy.
After sending the delegates away, Fury dialed his new loved ones and squeezed some oil and water out of Hydra's hands.
He was a little bored at the moment, lying on his back on his engineering chair without any image, looking at his dark leather shoes in a daze.
Now, what's the use of all this? Earth is over, everyone has to finish playing! Of course, greed is greedy. However, besides Stark, I have to have a plan C!
Fury rubbed his forehead, finally made up his mind, pulled out an old pager from his bosom that was about to enter the antique store, and pressed the pager button.
"Captain, it's time!"
"Tony, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
In the laboratory, Li Hao looked at Stark, who had just taken away the light power crystals that he had condensed with great difficulty, and persuaded again.
Stark, who was lying on the experimental table to test the energy crystallization, didn't speak, but just rolled his eyes at Li Hao.
Okay, it's no fun to talk to yourself.
Li Hao waved his hand, and went to find the 'black and white beauty' to teach swordsmanship, and promised Jessica and Luke before, so he couldn't break his promise.
Besides, even if it is the same white eye, Jessica is much more pleasing to the eye than Stark.
When he was left alone in the lab, Stark's eyes flickered twice, he looked up, and ordered Jarvis to open a secret door.
"Jarvis, are you done?"
"Yes, sir, your consciousness has been backed up and uploaded as a highly intelligent AI, and its memory is now physically sealed by me. Your message to Miss Pepper has also been saved. ”
Jarvis's voice was a little worried:
"Sir, it's too dangerous to do this!"
"Yes, but I have to, Jarvis, I'm Iron Man!"
Stark looked around, looked at the familiar laboratory, and dismissed the weak thoughts in his head.
With the AI version of yourself, even if you die, you can make the plan go smoothly and maintain the Stark Group.
"So, Howard!" While making the biggest decision in his life so far, Stark inexplicably remembered the face that had become a little blurry.
"If you have a spirit in heaven, bless your son, who is a hundred times wiser than you, or you will be doomed!"
Wait, the last one?
Stark frowned, picked up a test tube from the lab bench, and walked straight into the unoccupied break room, paying nine nines in the virtual reality 'Friday'.
After the rattle of the rope, the test tube was hurriedly refrigerated by Jarvis.
Stark, on the other hand, walked into the secret passage.
At the end of the passage is a slender armor that has not yet been painted, which is more 'close-fitting' than many of the Warframes in the Stark Mark series, and is slightly shorter than Stark.
That's because I'm wearing height-boosters!
Stark took off his shoes, held the crystallization of light power given by Li Hao, and looked at the beautiful artwork in front of him.
The nano-armor technology provided by the zombie Iron Man, the energy ray system modified by the Hulk, the toughest spider silk spit out by Spider-Man form the inner layer, and the 'iron-eating nanoworm' provided by Stockings, Jessie Carmack, and several other members of the alliance provide help.
Oh, and now there's the back-up hidden energy provided by Lee.
This armor is definitely the most perfect and outstanding of all its armors, but it still lacks the most important things: human character, human wisdom, and human will.
"So," Stark caressed the smooth surface of his armor like flowing water, his eyes a little misty:
"Let's become one!"
The first change, the other change is scheduled for tomorrow morning
