American comics: Starting from a copycat arms dealer.

Chapter 240 Time and Space Theft Plan
Invisible nuclear radiation is a hidden killer more terrifying than war.

This war of unprecedented scale has only resulted in the deaths of hundreds of millions of people.

But in the foreseeable future, nuclear radiation will indirectly cause the deaths of 30 billion people!
It can be said that human civilization has entered the countdown to extinction.

The culprit behind all this——

The moment the Skrulls learned that the Hundred Nations Alliance had completely collapsed.

He had already flown out of the Earth on the twelve space battleships left over from the battle with the Chitauri and disappeared.

Obviously, they planned to stay out of the spotlight for a while. Time was on the Skrulls' side, and they were not in a hurry at all.

The Avengers, who should be the most anxious, can do nothing about it.

Because the Skrulls specially installed stealth mode on the warships used for escape, even Carol could not track them.

The Avengers could only watch as the most damnable Skrull escaped.

noon the next day.

The meeting room of the municipal building in the small town of Potsdam.

All the Avengers were present.

Among them, the two Captain Americas and the two Iron Men were the most eye-catching. Their identical appearance attracted most people's attention.

The two Tony Starks, one with a slightly gray beard and the other still with a black beard, were talking in a low voice.

"Is everything settled over there, Pepper?"

"Don't worry, I upgraded the shelter's air circulation system, so there will be no problems. Besides, she is my assistant, why do you care about her so much?"

"It's the end of the world, you're not still hiding your feelings for Pepper, are you?"

"I understand you, because you are my past self. If you don't want to have any regrets, then confess to her as soon as possible."

"Humph, you don't know me at all. How could I eat grass near my own nest?"

The whispers of the two were heard by the weathered Captain America standing next to them. He coughed and reminded them:
"Keep your voice down. Everyone is worried about radiation sickness. Please be aware of the impact."

The weathered version of Tony glanced at all the Avengers at the conference table, all staring at him silently. He shrugged apologetically and stopped talking.

The younger version of Tony also said sorry in an embarrassed manner, then stared at the holographic projection screen in the center of the conference table.

The screen displayed a research report on the post-war situation provided by dozens of environmental experts, sociologists and other professionals.

"Countdown to Human Extinction Report"

"Phase 72.67: In a short period of time, % of ordinary humans will suffer from lethal doses of nuclear radiation and die painfully."

"At this stage, about 23 billion ordinary people will die in just a few days due to lack of protection."

"Phase 12: % of the human population will die due to various reasons, such as food problems, living space problems, chronic radiation sickness, etc."

"During this period, about 3.8 million people were unable to adapt to the post-war nuclear ruins and died within weeks or even months."

"The third stage: The remaining 4 million people, most of whom are concentrated in major cities such as the capitals of various countries, form natural doomsday shelters."

"But because these doomsday shelters are too densely populated and the living space is compressed by the harsh environment, it will become increasingly difficult to obtain survival resources."

"In the end, these doomsday shelters will inevitably start a war in order to grab limited resources."

"This phase will last from a few months to a few years or even decades."

"In this long-term doomsday war, the birth rate will drop to a historic low and the level of human technology will stagnate."

"Stage 4: When the population drops to a critical point, below 10 million."

"When there are too few highly qualified people to continue to promote technological development, the level of technology will begin to slowly decline."

“Then it becomes a vicious cycle.”

"For survival resources - start a war - the war causes the level of science and technology to drop again - so resources become more difficult to obtain - for survival resources - start a war."

"Finally, it is predicted that humans will be completely extinct in 162 to years!"

The last page of the report has signatures from more than 30 experts.

At the same time, every forecast data in the report is accompanied by hundreds of pages of professional papers to verify it.

To prove that these experts have all conducted rigorous scientific research and not just made up a bunch of data and put it in the report.

After reading the report, the young version of Tony laughed out loud with disdain on his face.

“This report seems to have rigorous data and tight logic, but it’s actually bullshit!”

"Because there is a very important variable missing, that is, the existence of us, the Avengers, in this world."

"In today's world where supernatural powers are becoming more and more apparent, gods, aliens, and superheroes are emerging one after another."

"With these variables, even if humans become extinct, it is possible to use the Infinity Stones to revive them."

"So just take a look at this report. It's not all nonsense, but at least for us, it's not of any use other than making us upset."

“I believe that in this world, everything is possible!”

The other Avengers looked thoughtful when they heard this, and when the despair in their hearts faded away, everyone's morale was barely boosted a little.

As the new leader of the Avengers, the vicissitudes of Captain America took the lead and said:
"Now the outside world has become a living hell. In areas without energy shields, countless ordinary people have been affected by nuclear radiation and died in agony."

"We can only watch and do our best to rescue the survivors in remote areas of Europe."

"As for ordinary people around the world, there is nothing we can do to help them."

"And the way to reverse all this is to collect all six Infinity Stones." "So the method of manufacturing Pym particles becomes the key among the keys."

"This requires everyone to brainstorm and find a way to convince Hank Pym to voluntarily hand over the research data of Pym particles."

Since this massive war, the Avengers have voted unanimously to remove Nick Fury from his position.

Then he re-elected the experienced version of Captain America as the new leader of the Avengers.

In fact, everyone knows that the current dire situation has little to do with Nick Fury.

But everyone had just suffered a major defeat and urgently needed an outlet, so Nick Fury became the scapegoat.

The Avengers chose to remove him to appease the resentment in everyone's hearts.

So the person who took the lead in today's meeting was the experienced version of Captain America, and Nick Fury could only listen and did not even have the qualifications to speak.

At this time, we heard the experienced version of Captain America ask everyone to brainstorm.

The Avengers fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Coulson cautiously suggested: "In fact, we don't need a method to make Pym particles at all. All we need is enough Pym particles."

"So what? How can we make more Pym particles without a manufacturing method?" asked the young version of Tony with a frown.

Coulson explained: "We now have the last two Pym particles in our hands, from Dr. Stark and Dr. Banner."

"Then, we can actually use these remaining Pym particles to travel back in time, steal more Pym particles, and then bring them back."

"Then we keep repeating this process, and we will have more and more Pym particles in our hands."

"Stark said that there are infinite parallel universes, which means that as long as we can travel to other parallel time and space, we can get infinite Pym particles."

"Do you think my method will work?"

This idea was quite unique, and everyone began to whisper and discuss the feasibility of this method in a low voice.

As the experienced version of Tony Stark who developed the time-space locator, he is the most authoritative person on time-space travel.

So everyone finally looked at the weathered version of Tony Stark, waiting for his opinion.

"Why are you looking at me? I don't know much about time travel. Although I have successfully traveled through time once, my understanding of parallel universes is limited to theory."

The weathered Tony was frightened by the stare and quickly explained.

"I can only say that Coulson's method is feasible to a certain extent, but I can hardly guarantee that there will be no unknown risks in doing so."

"Is everyone aware of Carl's warning?"

"Although that guy doesn't follow martial ethics, his words are still trustworthy to a certain extent."

The vicissitudes of Captain America hesitated for a while and said, "I think we can give it a try. Coulson's method is logically sound."

"Why not try it now?" Scott seemed eager to try. He had long been tired of dealing with his father-in-law Hank Pym.

Seeing that Scott was willing to take the risk himself.

The other Avengers discussed it for a while.

In the end, the decision to let Scott take the risk was passed by a majority vote.

Two hours later.

The Avengers came to the underground shelter of the municipal building.

In a closed laboratory surrounded by two-meter-thick steel walls.

Scott changed into a black and white time-travelling suit and stood on a small time-travelling platform thirty centimeters high.

Stretch your legs, stretch your waist, and relax your body.

He is making unprecedented mental preparations for traveling through time.

"Remember, come back immediately after you get the Pym particles. Don't stay too long."

"Got it, Captain! I'm an expert at stealing things, just wait for my good news."

"Come on, the hope of saving the world lies in you!"

"I won't let you down, for sure!"

The weathered version of Captain America stood by and cheered him on.

There is also the vicissitudes of life version of Tony, who said with a serious face: "The time point of the time travel has been set for you. You will go to the New Jersey military base in 1970."

"This military base is one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret bases. Needless to say, the security is very tight. You must be careful."

Scott pretended to be relaxed and said, "For me, there is no place that can stop me from sneaking in!"

Falcon Sam suddenly said venomously, "What about the Umbrella base?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Sam.

Sam quickly smiled awkwardly, "Just pretend I didn't say anything, just continue!"

After this little episode, Scott took two deep breaths and was about to press the shrink button on his combat suit gloves.

"and many more!"

Someone exclaimed.
