I'm the Demon King in Marvel

Chapter 438: Every failure makes you wiser, thank you!
(PS: This chapter is a bit watery, please subscribe if you mind.)
The finger snap that Thanos performed five years ago was not without benefits to America in the main universe of the movie. After the population was reduced by half, America ushered in the "AI era" and concentrated its efforts on automated production in order to keep productivity in America.

As we all know, America’s three major advantages are the attraction of “American freedom” to outstanding talents and capital from all over the world, the “oil-dollar” hegemony system, and its globally distributed military force.

They use their talent and financial advantages to innovate in various fields, seize the global market with high-tech products, and obtain excess profits.

At the same time, it reaps global wealth through raising and lowering interest rates on the US dollar linked to energy, and then ensures that all of this wealth can be imported into the United States through its military forces distributed around the world.

Therefore, technology, the US dollar and the military are the three core competitive strengths of the United States.

In order to maintain its leadership and continued profitability, the United States must maintain its technological leadership, dollar hegemony and strong military deterrence.

Our three major advantages are a complete industrial system, a team of highly qualified industrial engineers and a huge domestic consumer market.

After joining the WTO, the Sino-US cooperation model is that the United States provides high technology and we engage in large-scale production, and our products are sold to the world. Both the United States and China benefit from it, but the United States accounts for the lion's share.

In order to change this low-profit model, the newly established Ministry of Science and Technology will mobilize the whole country to carry out scientific and technological innovation and completely get rid of the original economic growth model.

But the Americans are used to making easy money and want to return to the original international division of labor, so that we are responsible for production and they are responsible for collecting money.

This is the root cause of trade friction.

However, although the United States has the world's best talents engaged in research and development, its industrial system had already collapsed during the period of "de-industrialization".

Due to the high cost of domestic labor and a developed financial system, the United States gradually used its technological and capital advantages to transfer manufacturing plants to Asia, Europe, and South America.

There is almost no strong and complete manufacturing industry system in the United States.

Since the top ten financial groups can reap the world's wealth by relying on the dollar hegemony and military deterrence, why should they spend money and energy to maintain a huge industrial system?
America wants to create "MAGA" and even shouted the slogan "If you want to be strong again, you must use Americans and make American products." However, the "re-industrialization of the United States" in the Trump era and the "rebuilding of American infrastructure" in the Biden era both ended in failure.

Therefore, America hopes to usher in the "AI era". Since the bosses are unwilling to build factories and there are no workers to enter the factories, they might as well build all-automatic factories and let machines do the work. In this way, productivity can be retained in the United States.

Before Thanos snapped his fingers, vigorously developing the AI ​​industry was already a consensus among American elites. After the population was reduced by half, America's manufacturing industry became even more unsustainable because labor costs further increased, young people's own life pressures were relatively reduced, and they were even less willing to enter factories.

As a result, the Americans began to accelerate the promotion of "large-scale automated production", and Stark Industries was one of the leaders.

As a genius who developed mature artificial intelligence in the 1990s, Tony Stark not only got married and had a daughter in the past five years, but he and his parents-in-law also took advantage of the national strategy to push Stark Industries to a new height.

This is the confidence that allows Tony to push forward the "Doomsday Fortress" plan relying solely on Stark Industries.

Because the American automated factories have developed rapidly in the past five years, Nick Fury is confident that he can quietly build a "Noah's Ark" to travel to other universes. In an automated factory outside San Francisco, Nick Fury stood in front of a large screen. He was not paying attention to the machines running at high speed in the factory, but was looking at the images taken by the surveillance satellite.

The picture shows a fairy palace standing on the clouds, floating above China, with several fairy mountains guarding on both sides, cranes spreading their wings, and dragons and phoenixes soaring.

As the saying goes, "When the granaries are full, people will know etiquette", and there is also a saying, "When you have enough food, you have nothing to do", both illustrate a truth: after people have solved their survival needs, they will begin to pursue spiritual needs.

Although there are zombies everywhere in foreign countries, there are always some weird or ill-intentioned guys among the people protected by the immortal formation who jump out to make trouble, saying that everything in the news is fake, and that the authorities are colluding with aliens to trap everyone to death, etc., and their words sound very convincing.

After consulting Lin Hao, Zhao Yi directly targeted a few guys who were shouting the loudest, threw their entire families to a "free foreign country", and then broadcast live on the entire internet the scene of these idiots being eaten by zombies without any mosaics.

It’s a great pleasure that the psychological problems of the entire nation are finally being solved.

Lin Hao had no choice but to pull a palace from the Mars Palace, and asked Jiang Ming to bring the new Shushan to accompany him. Taking advantage of the national state of emergency, he directly launched the "National Cultivation Movement". After having something to do, the noise stopped.

Seeing his old rival thriving while the America he loved was littered with zombies, the spiritual white man "Black Egg" felt very upset.

These days, after he contacted the financial backers of the "Ark Project", he has been forcing Phil Coulson to answer questions about the intelligence of the S.H.I.E.A.

As an executive who had directly dealt with the North American branch of S.H.I.E., Coulson from the "Base Universe" was quite familiar with the basic information of S.H.I.E., but what he knew were all old versions before Lin Hao joined. He only learned the new version through his personal experiences in America over the years.

"Do you think Strange's magic circle can block the prying eyes of the S.H.I.E." Nick Fury stared at Coulson with his one eye.

The "Hawaii Riots" that had previously occurred in another universe had been made public to the entire United States by Captain Shin, who also publicly tried Hawaii's upper echelons, allowing the entire United States to know about the riot.

Although Phil Coulson didn't know the whole story, he was a professional agent. After a little analysis, he realized that someone deliberately leaked the plans of the powerful to the lower levels, which led to the complete collapse of the lower-level military and police and set off a self-destructive riot.

Every failure makes one wiser. Nick Fury's "Ark Project" also involves the upper class abandoning the lower class civilians. They don't care if the lower class civilians riot as well. After all, the earth is already ruined and there is no further damage they can do. They just don't want anything to go wrong before the plan is completed.

Fortunately, Stephen Strange brought all the magicians from Kamar-Taj to the door and expressed their willingness to join and provide magic circles for their many automatic factories, in order to ensure the safety of the factories and to conceal their tracks.

But when he saw the big moves on the other side of the ocean, Nick Fury became suspicious again.

No matter how you look at it, their special effects are more powerful than those thin magic circles in Kamar-Taj, which makes it difficult for the naturally insecure "black-brined egg" not to doubt.

　I saw that some friends had questioned why Stark Industries could build the Doomsday Fortress alone, so I explained a few more sentences and related the cause and effect to reality.
