I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

"I'll take care of my work first."

Sonia listened to these words thoughtfully, and did not tactlessly say anything that might provoke Mr. Kassadin.

Harvey felt a sense of relief seeing Sonia constantly busy, her shadow always around him.

Sonia is a devoted partner. She is beautiful, intelligent, and has never caused him any trouble. On the contrary, she always shows her best and most outstanding side and shares his burdens.

Having such a confidante by his side made Harvey quite lazy.

Over the years, apart from not having sexual intercourse as husband and wife, he and Sonia had long been accustomed to each other's presence.

Sonia felt at ease whenever she saw him, as if she had been given a reassurance.

Harvey felt the same way; as long as he saw Sonia there, he knew in his heart that Sonia would take care of many things.

Of course, the future is long, and it's hard to say whether Sonia will change in the years to come.

Therefore, Harvey has no immediate plans to consummate his marriage with Sonia; he'll let things unfold gradually.

If Sonia decides to leave, he will at most be upset for a while, but will not go to extremes.

Everyone in the Cult of the Void is being tested by desire, and he is no exception.

If his desires take an extreme turn and he yearns to destroy everything, then even the entire universe wouldn't be enough for him to dismantle.

This is also why Harvey's desires are occasionally aroused by Sonia, even though he knows in his heart that Sonia would definitely cooperate if he brought it up.

But the main reason they choose not to mention it, and instead opt to go out for leisure occasionally, is...

After all, all men have a selfish side, especially the more powerful a man is, the stronger his possessiveness becomes.

It's understandable that he and Sonia didn't have a marital relationship, but were soulmates.

Sonia intends to leave him and will keep the promise she made.

But what if he and Sonia went further and consummated their marriage?

In case they have any disagreements in the future and Sonia decides to leave.

He certainly wouldn't let Sonia leave so easily; he would most likely imprison her directly.

Because he has always possessed this ability, he just never thought of doing it.

However, if Sonia really stays by his side, he won't actively ask her to leave.

Whether he will be able to overcome his reservations and fulfill Sonia's wish remains to be seen.

Tony, Banner, Steve, Loki, Thor, and others are all growing and changing.

Harvey's own thinking is also changing; in fact, he's not even thirty years old yet.

For beings in the void, this age is just the beginning of their lives; who knows what the future holds?

Chapter 444 One Trillion Fifteen Hundred Billion

Sonia carefully examined the plan that Mr. Tony had given her, as well as the blueprints for the spaceship.

She knew it was only a matter of time before Mr. Tony developed a sub-light-speed engine.

Sonia had already made specific plans regarding which islands to target, the salaries for hires, and who to source the necessary materials from.

The Void God Cult currently possesses three core technologies for building spaceships.

Space wormhole jumping technology, gravity device, and sub-light speed thruster engine.

It can be said that there are no longer any obstacles in the major difficulties of building a spaceship.

Furthermore, Mr. Tony possesses advanced AI-related technologies that enable spaceships to operate autonomously, which alone can save a significant amount of military spending.

There are also miniature arc reactors that can ensure the long-term operation of space battleships.

Currently, the miniature arc reactor is only provided to the Void God Cult and the civilization behind their compatriots.

The energy module is designed to be diverse, and if sold externally, it will not include a miniature arc reactor, but will instead use energy sources commonly found in space.

The rest are the main guns and other commonly available weapons, as well as safe pods, which can be purchased and configured.

The design also allows for future modifications by the buyer, rather than being completely integrated.

Putting aside everything else, the very fact that it possesses independent, advanced AI ensures that the Void Cult's spaceships are sufficiently competitive.

Mr. Tony and Mr. Banner will further research and improve the various performance aspects of AI in the future, striving to create a quantum computer.

However, the timeline for this future plan is currently undecided.

It is clear that Mr. Tony has decided to focus on the development of Earth for the time being.

Mr. Tony will only be able to spare the time to study it once he has the opportunity.

Sonia understands this future plan.

Because the progress of science and technology is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Besides being a super genius, the most important reason why Mr. Tony was able to make such rapid progress in the three core areas of spaceships is that he was able to stand on the shoulders of giants.

However, it is not so easy for intelligent AI to advance to the level of a supercomputer.

There are only a handful of civilizations in the entire universe that possess supercomputers, so the absolute secrets of these civilizations cannot be leaked.

Therefore, if Mr. Tony and Mr. Banner want to conduct research, it will inevitably take an immeasurable amount of time.

Considering that Mr. Tony will become extremely short of money later, the development of Earth will slow down.

So Sonia looked at the empty island map, thought for a moment, and crossed out the six islands that were originally planned for development, replacing them with a planet called Void 001.

This is the planet she has already reserved.

After various calculations, Sonia ultimately decided to directly use 1.5 trillion cosmic coins as funding.

The Void Cult can sell the latest spaceships, but these technologies will remain Void Cult secrets and cannot be leaked.

Therefore, a lifelong tenure system and a confidentiality system need to be implemented.

To prevent them from wanting to run away while working, the development of the planet requires more than just factories.

The planning and development of various entertainment facilities and a good living environment should also be carried out, so the budget cannot be too tight.

However, these expenses are secondary; the most expensive thing is that enormous planet, which costs seven hundred billion.

The price difference between habitable and uninhabitable planets is completely different.

From then on, the Void God Cult will be the masters of that planet.

Fortunately, this is not a bottomless pit, but rather there are returns after the development and completion.

Furthermore, it can not only serve as a manufacturing base for developing and producing spaceships, but also for farming and animal husbandry.

Otherwise, even if Sonia wanted to help Mr. Tony, she wouldn't be willing to allocate so much funding directly.

To be clear, excluding the gains from the Void Land, this 1.5 trillion is calculated based on last year's revenue.

This is roughly the positive return that Void Island has achieved in nearly a decade.

The Void God Cult was established approximately four years ago.

Aside from the spoils from the Void, Sonia only had a little over 100 billion Cosmic Coins in her possession.

In principle, it's not necessary to build so many at once; it would be enough to build and develop just two islands.

Once a spaceship is built and shown to various buyers, the buyers will make an advance payment, and then the money can be used to gradually expand.

However, Sonia currently holds over two trillion yen, and that's before she's sold any of her collectibles.

And she knew she wouldn't have trouble finding a buyer; there were far too many civilizations in the universe lacking the latest type of spaceships, which is why she dared to do this.

The advantage of spending huge sums of money is that the return on investment will be faster.

Once these returns come in, Void Island will have more funds, and it won't have to worry about various expensive projects in the future.

After these calculations were completed, Sonia received news that the food had been delivered.

Sonia temporarily put aside her work and went downstairs to bring the food up.

Sonia and Harvey began their meal together.

"Mr. Kassadin, I plan to use 1.5 trillion this time."

"After completion, there will be many orders, and the annual revenue should be around 200 billion."

"After splitting it with Mr. Tony, it would be around 100 billion."

"Conservatively speaking, it will take at most twenty years to break even."

"Of course, this is just a conservative estimate, because there will definitely be a return of funds later."

"Therefore, the time to break even will be shortened significantly."

"Including the original amount, the Void God Cult will have at least 150 billion in revenue every year."

"Even if we become more extravagant in the future, Void Island will never be short of money."

Sonia looked at Mr. Kassadin and explained the cost of the project.

"With the addition of a sub-light speed engine, which allows for the construction of spaceships, the profits have increased so dramatically?"

Harvey was also somewhat surprised to hear Sonia's words.

Void Island's positive revenue last year was around 80 billion, which came from the sale of various technologies.

If no other technologies are developed for sale, this amount will not change much in the future, and it will eventually reach a saturation point.

The true giants of cosmic arms are the technology of the Kree Empire and the Xandar Empire, representing the most advanced civilizations in the universe.

As a rising star, Tony's technology is doing well to have managed to snatch some market share from these two giants, but the amount is always limited.

Harvey recalled that Sonia had calculated the potential buyers and estimated that when the market saturated in twenty or thirty years, they would only be able to earn around two to three trillion.

Of course, if the market for Void Island becomes saturated, having that much money would be enough to allow for rapid, unrestricted development for many years.

If that money is used properly, Void Island will never lack money again; it just will take more time.

But now Sonia tells herself that Void Island has skipped many years and has reached a stage where it is not short of money.

As for Sonia directly investing a massive sum of 1.5 trillion, Harvey wouldn't care at all.

He had to worry about the development of the Void God Cult, but he didn't need to worry about the finances; Sonia was in charge of those.
