"This is a good idea!" Tony and Dr. Banner looked at each other in admiration. "We have been worried that if we do too many experiments, it will have too many impacts and create a new parallel world!"
There has never been any successful case for reference in traveling through time, and every experiment is equivalent to an adventure. After all, no one can be sure whether there will be any dangers during the experiment, let alone whether there will be accidents inadvertently. What bad consequences did it cause in the past?
This kind of experiment is irreversible, and it is impossible to send people back to change the changed history. And the worst thing is that the people affected have no memory at all. They only think that history is the way it is. They don’t know what it was like before and they can’t change it even if they want to.
If a spirit body could be sent to project in the past, it would have minimal impact on the past while ensuring the safety of the experimenters. At the very least, he won't engage in exaggerated situations like saving himself, falling in love with himself, giving birth to himself, or killing himself.
"I consulted Master Ancient One. Parallel worlds do not appear easily. Only events that will have a huge impact can create new parallel worlds." Tony explained in detail.
"The creation of a new world requires huge energy, and this energy can only be provided by the universe itself, apart from those who deliberately create parallel worlds."
"If even a trivial matter like walking left or turning right when going out can generate a new parallel world, then the energy that this universe needs to provide is really too much. Intelligent life is endless, and choices at every moment are naturally impossible. Counting, this level of energy supply is completely unbearable for the universe.”
"Doesn't that mean that the more intelligent life there is, the faster the universe will perish?"
"According to my judgment, normally, unless the six Infinity Stones are involved and powered by Infinity Stones, it will be difficult to regenerate a parallel world in the universe."
"So, from this perspective, it is quite incredible that the emergence of Zhan Liu gave birth to our parallel universe!" Tony pinched his chin, thoughtfully.
Tony from another world turned his head and thought for a while, and found it quite strange, "Are you saying that Zhan Liu provided energy for the birth of the entire parallel universe? Or that a certain infinite gem paid for the energy on his behalf?"
"I don't know..." Tony slowly shook his head and said hesitantly: "Maybe when he traveled through time, some treasures on his body were absorbed by the universe?"
Dr. Banner waved his hand, interrupting the two's contemplation, "Whatever! Does this have anything to do with us? We just need to make sure that no new parallel universe is created."
"Okay, you're right." The two Tonys smiled in relief, "We are just curious out of habit, that's all."
"At that point in time, the Space Stone should be the only one on Earth. As long as you're careful not to touch it, you shouldn't have to worry about this problem."
Dr. Banner reminded: "The contact I am talking about also includes the impact of the battle, so when you do it, it is best to kill him instantly!"
"Don't give him a chance to explode!"
"You and I both know how terrifying the progress of the Magnetic Field Warriors is when faced with a life-and-death crisis. Although the Magnetic Field Warriors do not have as much energy as the Infinity Stones, we do not have enough data to show how much energy is needed to create a new parallel universe. In case of an emergency, Can high-level magnetic field warriors also provide enough energy?"
"Don't worry!" Tony said confidently: "At that time, Master Zhanliu was only in the Nine Heavens. Even if his realm was improved, it would still take a few seconds, which would be enough for me to kill him ten thousand times. What's more, his realm would be destroyed by the Ultimate Infinite Qigong. Stuck in the fiftieth heaven."
Dr. Banner thought about it carefully and found no reason for failure.
"In terms of combat, there is no need to worry. With mental calculations or unintentional calculations, you will definitely be able to eliminate Zhanliu, the culprit of the world's turmoil, without anyone realizing it."
"Are you sure the specific time and place where Zhanliu traveled through is correct?"
"This is data obtained from the S.H.I.E.L.D. database. I don't think anyone will falsify this in advance."
"Is there a possibility that we actually tried to assassinate Zhan Liu before, but failed, so he could change the data?" Alien Tony cautiously raised a possibility.
Tony looked at him speechlessly for a while, and sighed: "You have never been in contact with Master Zhanliu, so you don't understand his character. If such a thing really happened, I believe that he would just come over and chop me to death instead of What kind of trick are you doing to modify the data?"
Dr. Banner also nodded in agreement, "Yes, he is the kind of person who thinks very simply and directly. If he can solve problems in the simplest way, he will never take any detours."
Seeing Dr. Banner say the same thing, Tony from another world also understood a little bit about Zhan Liu's character, but he thought for a moment and continued to ask: "What if he doesn't know that the person who attacked him is you?"
"Well..." Tony and Dr. Banner looked at each other, lowered their heads and thought for a moment, then said, "Then it's very possible that they won't change at all and just wait for others to come to the door again."
"Are you so stubborn?" Tony from another world didn't believe it.
"He has such a stubborn character." Tony and the two laughed bitterly. "For example, he is a staunch nationalist and looks down on Americans. He clearly understands English, but he just doesn't speak it and insists on making everyone speak English. He speaks Chinese. If you don’t speak Chinese, even if you want to become a disciple, he won’t accept them.”
Alien Tony rolled his eyes, not understanding this way of thinking at all.
"Well, since you are so sure that there is no problem with the time and place of Zhan Liu's time travel, let's set the experiment coordinates according to this data. But just in case, I suggest moving the time forward a little bit. .”
This was recognized by everyone, "It can be adjusted earlier. It is a safe way to prepare more margin. We let the spirit projection confirm whether the time and place are correct during the experiment, and then officially start to implement the time travel plan When you do that, you won’t make mistakes.”
"Other minor mistakes don't matter, but you must pay attention to the taboos of time travel. When traveling on the same timeline, two people in the same world at different times cannot meet, otherwise the person at a later time point will be wiped out under the influence of the law of time. !”

Dr. Banner slapped Tony hard on the shoulder, "So, Tony, please recall your detailed itinerary during that time!"
"Oh, my God!" Tony's shoulders slumped, and his face immediately turned into a bitter gourd, "That was a huge amount of work, and it's been so many years. It's so difficult to recall it all. .”
"Who lets you wander around all day long? How nice it is to spend all day in the laboratory like me! Home-school-laboratory, three points and one line, it is easy to recall all the itineraries." Dr. Banner Gloated and laughed.
Tony from another world lowered his head and thought about it for a moment, then comforted him: "Actually, you don't have to be so embarrassed. We don't need to know your detailed itinerary at all. We just need to know where you were not during that time. It's hard to remember where you have been, but It’s easier to think about it if you haven’t been anywhere before, right?”
"Where haven't you been during that time?" Tony thought for a moment, "This is easy! Before I knew Zhan Liu existed, I had never been to Chinatown, not even once!"
"That's easy!" Dr. Banner stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, "We will arrange the crossing location in Chinatown, so that you can avoid meeting your past self."
Tony from another world asked again: "There is another question. How can we be sure that the world where the spirit projection traveled through is our timeline?"
"It's simple. Those who have traveled through Zhan Liu are our timeline, and those who haven't are not!" Dr. Banner said with a smile.
"Isn't this judgment method too simple?" Tony from another world looked at Dr. Banner in surprise, "We don't know if your universe has generated new parallel worlds. After all, even the earth has been bombed three times. The Infinity Stones have all appeared in turn, so it wouldn’t be surprising if there are several more parallel worlds, right?”
Dr. Banner suddenly realized that he had fallen into a fixed mindset and took it for granted.
At this time, everyone fell silent and thought carefully. After a long time, Tony said:
"We can choose a secret place on the earth as a hiding place in advance, and let the spirit projection leave a token at the hiding place after arriving at the destination. If the time machine travels through the same timeline, then the token will Hidden in that hiding spot, we can check the token at this point in time. But if the machine also travels to a parallel space, then we can't see anything at this point in time."
"This method works!" The three of them raised the coffee in their hands, using it as a substitute for wine, and touched it lightly.
When geniuses like this sit together to discuss a problem, the improvement in efficiency is often not a simple addition, but an exponential increase or even a qualitative change. The collision of ideas between geniuses often creates more sparks of inspiration. After solving a problem again, several people became more interested and the discussion became more heated.
"Then next, we should consider what should we do if the experiment fails? How can we identify the cause of the failure and improve it?"
This is a very serious question.
The vast majority of scientific experiments fail. All scientists will often face failure. Even geniuses such as Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, the darlings of the Marvel world, only fail less often, but it is impossible not to fail.
Failure is the mother of success. For scientists, experimental failure is not terrible. As long as enough data can be obtained, it means that a wrong experimental method can be successfully eliminated, lessons learned, and corrections can be made next time.
The most fearful thing is that if the experiment fails, but not enough experimental data is collected, and the cause of the failure is not known and cannot be avoided, then the next experiment is very likely to end in failure.
For experiments of this level of time and space travel, the cost is too high and cannot be carried out multiple times, so each experiment must collect enough information and data.
"We can install an information collection device on the time-travel machine, and let the spirit projection carry relevant equipment and record the entire process of the experiment. With these experimental data, it will be much easier for us to analyze it."
"You are too idealistic. What if the spiritual projection encounters an enemy and is destroyed? Without the spiritual projection to control the time machine, the machine will not be able to come back at all. What's the use of recording the experimental data?"
"Then let's try to do scheduled recycling, how about that?"
"This is also a method, but the task time given to the spirit projection after timing is relatively hasty, which may affect the spirit projection's completion of the task of stealing Pym particles."
"Then let the spirit projection arrive at its destination and store the time machine in the hiding spot. If the mission is successfully completed, start the time machine and come back. If the mission fails and the spirit projection is destroyed, then we will be at this point in time You can also see detailed data.”
"What if the spiritual projection and machine are destroyed or captured by the enemy and fail to come back?"
"Then just use the information collection device as a token and hide it in a hiding spot. If the machine comes back successfully, we will directly use the first-hand data. If the machine fails to come back successfully and it is the same timeline, we can directly use the token Read the data. If it's not the same timeline...then we can only declare the experiment a complete failure! The timeline is wrong, the machine hasn't come back, the data hasn't been obtained yet, and what's worse is that we can't even connect the machine used for power. The soul gems will be lost."
"The soul gem cannot be lost, so I think it is best to redesign the power system and use external power supply to prevent the soul gem from traveling through time and space with the time machine."
"But in this case, the machine becomes a one-way ticket, and you can't come back?"
"It doesn't matter, the loss of the spiritual projection doesn't matter, but the soul gem cannot be lost. As for the data, just use what is left in the hiding point! The Pym particles stolen back by the spiritual projection are also placed in the hiding point. To When I officially perform the mission, I use Pym particles as power."
"That's okay!"
The three Tonys high-fived each other and reached a consensus.
Several people carefully studied some details and solved the corresponding problems. After thinking about it again and again, they finally determined that there were no omissions and could start to modify it.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Before modifying, he must first learn.
The two Tonys first obtained relevant teaching materials on spiritualism from Tony from another world, and then quickly studied under the guidance of Tony from another world.
Famous teachers and apprentices, geniuses learn at an exaggerated speed. Within a few days, Tony and Dr. Banner had thoroughly understood the knowledge of spiritual bodies.
It’s not difficult for those who don’t know it, but it’s not difficult for those who can. The three of them easily modified the time-travel machine. They transformed the power device that was originally intended to use the Time Stone into a soul stone-specific one, and used the external soul stone to power it. , providing the power needed for crossing.
The original teleportation warehouse was also equipped with a dedicated channel for spirit bodies to prepare for the experiment of traveling through the spirit projection.
After several debuggings, the three finally confirmed that there should be no problems with this version of the time machine, and actual experiments could begin.
However, when they contacted Steve and others and planned to borrow the Soul Stone, they discovered that there was a problem with the Avengers and Steve and others were missing.
