Chapter 290 Defense Line Explosive Pack Delivery
"They might be trying to exploit weaknesses in space to open countless gates to hell on Earth!"

By the end, Tony had closed his eyes, trembling, as if he could see countless gates of hell opening on Earth, unleashing a tidal wave of demons and causing boundless carnage.

"Tony Stark! Look what you've done!!"

Upon hearing this, Steve strode over to Tony.

If Steve could remain calm when Tony accidentally created a portal to hell, upon hearing such devastating news, even someone as composed as him would want to punch Tony in the face.

However, before Steve could even make a move...

Tony himself seemed to have lost his bones, collapsing instantly. If Steve hadn't grabbed his shoulder, Tony might have just collapsed to the ground.

In fact, this incident was a far more serious blow to him than anyone imagined.

Initially, Tony was just researching how to open an interdimensional portal to help Gwen return home when he had a sudden inspiration and came up with a completely new idea to stably counteract spatial rifts.

The chaos in much of the world today, and the fact that the United States has been unable to regain stability since the Hydra riots, is largely due to the spatial rifts that open from time to time in various places, bringing countless otherworldly invaders.

Many rebel leaders even emerged under the leadership of villains from other worlds.

Now that a solution to this problem is available, Tony naturally wants to continue his in-depth research.

However, as the research progressed, he discovered that there was a core problem that could not be solved no matter what.

That is, the energy required to close the spatial rift is simply too enormous.

The Earth today is like a giant, incredibly fragile bubble, and because Loki misused the Tesseract, countless weak points have appeared on this bubble, making it vulnerable to tearing apart at any moment.

Although every time these weak points in space crack, and one or two outsiders slip in, a mysterious force slowly repairs the cracks.

However, as long as these weak points in space cannot be completely repaired, the next tear will be inevitable.

Furthermore, the continuous tearing and repair process further weakens the 'gas chamber'.

It is very likely that this will evolve into a situation where hundreds or thousands of spatial rifts appear on Earth every moment.

However, according to Tony's own calculations, even repairing a single weak point would require the entire power supply of a large city like New York to barely seal it off.

Moreover, this requires a continuous energy supply, rather than a one-time repair.

Given the fragility of Earth's space today, a single city may have dozens or even hundreds of weak points of varying sizes.

Not to mention, there aren't many cities in the world with this level of energy supply, and all the electricity is being used to repair the space rift. Does this mean society is going to regress to an era without electricity?

Finally, Tony came up with an even more extreme solution!

The energy in the Hell dimension is virtually inexhaustible.

If a stable energy connection structure can be designed to link all the existing weak points in space on Earth together.

After that, whenever a spatial rift appeared, a stream of hellish dimensional energy was immediately injected to instantly annihilate the spatial rift. This continuous smoothing of spatial rifts could even gradually repair and strengthen the current dilapidated 'bubble' of Earth, which can be described as a permanent solution.

This is what Tony refers to as the 'spatial fluctuation stable loop'.

A massive 'circuit magic circle' that covers the entire globe, encompasses all known spatial weaknesses, and operates by stealing energy from the hell dimension!
After hearing Tony's story, everyone present fell silent. Can you really say that someone's intentions were bad, given the immense effort and resources they expended to find a solution to a global crisis?
But in order to solve the problem, this guy actually dared to set his sights on the energy of the hell dimension.
This looks like something out of a fairy tale, a fool making a deal with the devil to save someone.

More importantly, even an old fogey like Steve, who doesn't understand much about science, now understood what Tony meant by "countless gates of hell opening" after the "reversal".

This is equivalent to having countless weaknesses and gaps in one's own "defense line" that need to be protected during a war, while one's own "repair materials" are insufficient.

At this point, a brilliant strategist in the engineering department suggested, "We can just steal the enemy's landmines and explosives to plug the gap. These things are plentiful and free."

It seems like a good solution, but the key problem now is...

Now the enemy is preparing to personally deliver these 'landmines and explosives' to your doorstep with great fanfare!

Even a fool could tell that the enemy couldn't have just delivered the goods and left!

However, just as everyone fell silent, Luca, who was quite knowledgeable about demonology, the Hell dimension, and portals, suddenly spoke up and asked Tony a question.

"You mean, you calculated all the nodes and the path of that spatial fluctuation stable loop all by yourself?"

At this moment, Luca's tone was extremely serious.

It wasn't that he doubted Tony's abilities as a researcher.

Rather, this giant magic circle, which encompasses the entire Earth, combines technology with the energy of the hellish dimension, and precisely connects all the weak points in space on Earth to ensure a stable energy output without chaos.

The difficulty involved far exceeds that of the three Great Sanctuaries defensive barriers of Kamar-Taj.

Even Tony.

as predicted!

Tony, who was already close to being a walking corpse, shook his head slightly upon hearing this.

"I designed two schemes. The initial one was just a single spatial crack stabilization algorithm, which was specifically designed for this portal."

As he spoke, Tony looked toward the Gates of Hell, which were still glowing red.

"However, this approach lacks stability, as each node requires independent calculation. Subsequent large-scale solutions only designed stable loops for the area near New York. Expanding the loop coverage area further would be exponentially more difficult."

"The reason I wanted you and Banner to help was to further improve this defense circuit."

Upon hearing this, for some reason, the hearts of everyone present, which had sunk to the bottom, strangely began to rise again.

Although it's just New York that's having bad luck, and it's like opening the gates of hell, countless demons will run out.

Compared to the global influx of demons, at least there is hope for defense and resistance.

how to say?

New Yorkers should be used to this by now.
However, Tony's next words plunged everyone's spirits into despair.

"But it's useless. Defense repair is different from opening the gates of hell; the opponent doesn't need to pursue a stable energy output."
