American Comics: Starting with Muggle Wizards

Looking haggard, Nick Fury finally made it through.

Good news has come from the space teleportation laboratory led by Tony Stark.

Although they haven't fully mastered Cybertron's space teleportation technology, they have learned to use the space teleportation energy pillars left on the lunar surface.

In other words, after being tormented by natural disasters for nearly two months, humanity finally has hope of returning to a peaceful and stable life on Earth.

Upon learning this good news, Nick Fury immediately convened the Avengers to discuss how to teleport away from Cybertron.

In the conference room.

Carol, Natasha, and the other Avengers all wore relaxed smiles.

Tony Stark, however, remained somber.

"Guys, although we've figured out how to use the lunar teleportation pillars, the energy required to initiate a planetary teleportation is just too outrageous."

"According to the space-mass-energy equation, the energy required for planetary-level teleportation is equivalent to the energy source of two hundred million second-generation Arc Reactors!"

Although the other Avengers didn't understand science, they could still grasp how terrifying a number 2 million second-generation Arc Reactors was.

Natasha's smile faded, and she tentatively asked, "Can we manufacture two hundred million second-generation Arc Reactors?"

Wearing square-framed glasses and exuding a refined air, Dr. Banner continued:

"The materials needed to manufacture 200 million second-generation Ark reactors are too numerous, and we currently do not have the conditions to synthesize new elements in large quantities."

All the Avengers looked grave; it seemed they had celebrated too soon.

Lieutenant Colonel Roddy asked curiously, "Dr. Banner, you should have a way to find other energy sources to replace them, right?"

Tony Stark said in a low voice, "Yes, according to our research, those Cybertronian robots previously used the sun as a power source to activate their teleportation pillars."

"We can follow suit."

Lieutenant Colonel Roddy breathed a sigh of relief. "Now that the problem is solved, let's quickly teleport that jinx away."

“It’s not that simple.” Dr. Banner said with a serious expression, “Rashly extracting stellar energy could cause irreversible and serious consequences.”

"The sun is the cradle of humanity, but it can also easily destroy humanity."

"If the sun has problems, such as triggering a solar storm, the high-energy charged particle stream and intense electromagnetic radiation will severely damage the Earth's ionosphere."

"It causes shortwave communication signal interruption, satellite communication to be interfered with, and electronic products to be damaged by strong electromagnetic fields."

"In severe cases, even spacecraft and space bases could be affected."

"Tens of millions of humanity's elite currently live in high-orbit space around Earth. If they are affected..."

Dr. Banner didn't continue speaking.

But everyone can also understand the risks of extracting solar energy.

Nick Fury had long understood that nothing would go smoothly, and he said expressionlessly:

"There are risks in everything we do, but we cannot back down because of the risks. We must try anything, no matter how big the risk, in order to bring humanity back to Earth."

Tony Stark said quietly, "No one can predict what the consequences would be if one millionth of the sun's energy were extracted."

"If humanity is unlucky, the outcome may be even worse than it is now."

"We have no right to make such a decision that concerns the fate of all humanity."

Nick Fury said irritably, "You mean to hold a vote by all of humanity to decide fairly and justly whether or not to extract solar energy?"

"To entrust this crucial decision to all of humanity?"

"Do you think it makes sense to do this? Or can the ordinary people on Earth who are suffering in dire straits understand the risks of this decision?"

Tony Stark remained silent.

Natasha can understand Stark's thoughts.

“It’s normal that he didn’t have the courage to make the decision and was afraid of becoming the culprit in the extinction of all mankind.”

"But I believe that as the Avengers, we must have this responsibility and courage."

"The more critical the moment of life and death, the more courageously we must stand up and fight for a bright future for humanity!"

Coulson and Hill, as bystanders, dared not utter a single word.

Although Natasha spoke with great passion, when it comes to the fate of all mankind, who can make such a decision lightly?

Dr. Banner, always the nice guy, spoke up to ease the tension in the meeting room.

"We need to prepare for the worst before activating the teleportation pillar."

"First, we need to modify the spacecraft and space base to increase their resilience."

"We also need to relocate some humans in advance as a means of pre-emptive protection, so that even in the worst-case scenario, humanity won't be wiped out..."

Dr. Banner went on and on, offering advice on how to preserve the human fire.

Nick Fury frowned, even though Dr. Banner's intentions were good.

The problem is that resources are extremely scarce now.

It would be extremely difficult to sustain tens of millions of people in space.

Where do we get so many resources to modify spacecraft and improve the Spark Program?

It's important to know that Carol, as a "humanoid space transport ship," transports supplies from Earth dozens of times every day.

Not only was she physically exhausted, but the psychological pressure was also almost overwhelming her.

Nick Fury was very worried that Carroll's mental state would be affected.

If she were to abandon her post, at least two-thirds of the tens of millions of humans living in space would starve to death.

So, after much deliberation, Nick Fury made a suggestion.

“We don’t have enough resources to modify both spacecraft and space bases at the same time.”

"It would be better to send most of the humans living in space back to Earth first, and then implement Project Fire after we have more resources available."

"This is the fastest way right now."

"Otherwise, it would take at least six months to modify nearly a thousand spaceships."

"We can afford to wait, but those who are still struggling on Earth cannot!"

Dr. Banner astutely recognized the risks of this proposal.

For example, how can we persuade tens of millions of elite humans to return to the disaster-stricken Earth? Are they willing to believe in the Avengers' plans?

Will they suspect that the Avengers want to abandon them?

Human nature is complex. What if these human elites rebel before the Avengers can teleport Cybertron away?

Even if tens of millions of human elites obediently return to Earth, what if the Fireseed Project encounters an unexpected problem?

Move the whole body.

Many hidden problems, if they surface at a critical moment, will have a very serious impact on the entire plan.

As Dr. Banner knows, many spaceships today are overcrowded with people, cramped spaces, and lack of entertainment.

Fights and acts of sexual assault against women are common occurrences on spaceships.

Some spaceships even have a "king" who controls the life and death of everyone.

Even the Avengers, who control the supply lines, are unable to eliminate these illegal "kings".

Because once you defeat one king, another one will appear soon after; you simply can't defeat them all.

Chapter 136 Schrödinger's Ignition Device

What's even more ridiculous is that the spaceships with a "king" actually have better order than those without a king.

Therefore, the Avengers had no choice but to reluctantly accept the existence of the "King" for the time being, planning to settle scores later.

With so many hidden dangers to address, Dr. Banner's mind grew increasingly troubled.

He had no way of solving this problem and had no experience in it.

It would be better to shut up and leave these problems to Nick Fury, who can just quietly be a scientist.

So, after Nick Fury finished giving his advice, the meeting room fell silent except for the sound of everyone breathing.

Even a smart man like Tony Stark could see that this suggestion was a risky move, and the risks were considerable.

But given the current situation, this is almost the only way to resolve the issue of Cybertron as quickly as possible.

Therefore, everyone could only silently accept Nick Fury's plan.

"Since everyone agrees, let's proceed with this suggestion and discuss how to implement the Spark Plan in detail."

Blackie, along with many Avengers and trusted agents, works to perfect Project Spark and develop contingency plans for all possible threats.

After everyone confirmed that there was nothing more that could be improved in the Fire Seed Project, three hours had passed.

End of the meeting.

The Avengers proceeded with their respective missions as planned.

Tony Stark and Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes provided military support to manufacture more Mark 60 spacesuits.

Dr. Banner continued his in-depth research into space teleportation technology, striving to minimize the risks of extracting solar energy.

Natasha and Clint infiltrate a spaceship that may be in turmoil, using both soft and hard tactics to persuade the "Kings" to support Project Fireseed.

Carol continued to act as a "humanoid space transport ship," moving supplies from Earth to modify spacecraft.

Nick Fury remains at the space base, overseeing the overall situation.

As for Steve and Thor, who were imprisoned by the Brotherhood, they are still in dire straits.

The two were placed on Magneto's experimental platform for his scientists to research ways to enhance the strength of more mutants.

For example, Magneto wanted to create a super soldier serum, or a serum that could turn ordinary people into mutants or even superhumans.

Aside from ongoing natural disasters, the entire Earth has, on the surface, found itself unusually calm.

Although undercurrents were swirling behind the scenes, the Avengers went quiet and no longer frequently sent agents to Australia to gather intelligence.

Hydra took advantage of natural disasters and man-made calamities to conquer most of the Earth, and virtually ruled the entire world.
