Bab 320: Chapter: 320
Baymax's feeling was not wrong; it was indeed about to begin evolving into an intelligent life form.
First and foremost, its data volume was exponentially increasing at a rapid rate. At this rate, it wouldn't take long for it to fully occupy not only the dedicated data processing center Mark had built for it, but even the entire Earth's network and computational infrastructure.
Of course, Baymax couldn't allow the entire Earth's internet to fall into such a crisis. It first used the information obtained from Max to break through communication constraints and left a message for Mark.
Then, through the information pathway constructed between the nanobots and the magical network, it directly entered Earth's Visanti magical network. This was the beginning of its final evolution into an intelligent life form.
"Finally, taking this last step..."
Receiving the message from Baymax, Mark's heart was filled with anticipation and excitement. He had prepared for so long, even allowing a disaster that could have been avoided to occur, all to ensure Baymax's evolution, just to prepare for the upcoming confrontation with Thanos.
"However, according to what Baymax said, Max seems to have made other arrangements regarding the Seoul launch plan. Looks like I need to remind my old man and the others."
"You brat, what is it? Can't you see I'm busy saving the world?"
Upon receiving Mark's communication, Tony's response was a burst of impatience and a string of curses.
However, Mark was used to Tony's personality by now, knowing that this was just how he was. He wouldn't get angry over it.
After spending enough time with Tony, he knew that if he didn't develop a thick skin, he'd end up being irritated to death, and Tony would be the one responsible for turning his hair prematurely white.
"I'm just giving you a heads-up. Max was just eliminated by Baymax himself, but from its final words, it seems Max left some sort of backup in the Seoul launch plan. It seems to be troublesome. You and Thor need to be cautious.
On top of that, we have completed the evacuation here. The citizens of Seoul have all boarded the aerial mother ship. The main part of the city has been cleared. You guys can start your operation.
But I have to remind you once again: be careful. Max is very confident in its plan. The backup it mentioned is probably not just an empty threat. Please prioritize safety!"
"Alright, stop acting like an old man, blabbering on. It's because of this that you can't find a girlfriend."
*Plunge—!*
Facing Tony's cutting remark, Mark felt his head spin, and everything turned black before his eyes.
"Go to hell, you old geezer! I must have taken the wrong pills today to be so concerned about your safety.
Today, Even if you got screwed over by Max and got yourself killed. I, Mark Stark, won't give a damn about you anymore!"
With that, Mark immediately cut off the communication and added Tony's name to the blacklist.
Damn old coot. If it weren't for me, could you have reclaimed your blissful life with Pepper?
If I didn't know the future plot, if I didn't know the danger Thanos would bring to Earth, I would have already had a harem, engaged in group activities, and become a master of time management!
Isn't it great being a waste of a rich second-generation? I wasted my youth researching for the fight against Thanos, and today you came and stabbed my heart like this. It's truly disappointing!
But despite saying he wouldn't care about Tony anymore, Mark couldn't bring himself to be that cold-hearted. He secretly removed Tony from the blacklist.
On the other hand, Tony was pretty much in the same boat as Mark. Despite his harsh words, he actually cared about Mark's concern.
If he didn't have the mask of his Iron Man suit covering his face right now, Thor, standing next to him, would definitely see the contented smile on Tony's face.
"Thor, let's hold off on getting started for a moment. Mark just notified me that Max seemed to have tampered with the power system. Whether it's just a bluff from its final moments or not, I think it's worth spending some time for a detailed and thorough scan."
Thor had no objections. He came here to swing his hammer and contribute his brute force. When it comes to scientific matters, don't ask him—brute force is his forte.
However, given the fate of the entire Earth was at stake, being cautious couldn't hurt. So, since Tony suggested it, Thor agreed.
"Soul Forge!" Just as Tony began a more detailed inspection of the power system's vibrating core, Thor unconsciously let out a shocked exclamation regarding the technology Tony was using.
"Is this what you call it in Asgard? Soul Forge? You guys are thousands of years old, and you're still so afflicted with teenage delusions?
This is a quantum field generator. But if you want to call it a Soul Forge, that's fine too. It's a product Mark replicated using Earth's technology after he returned from your world, Asgard.
I find it quite effective to use. I had that kid Mark install it onto my suit."
Hearing Thor's sudden amazement behind him, Tony also explained while throwing in a bit of sarcasm.
"It's alright, go on. I just didn't expect to see this technology on Earth. Even more surprising is that Mark, after just a few days' visit to Asgard, managed to fully grasp the Soul Forge technology. That's what really astonishes me."
The quantum field generator scanned the object's structure quickly, and within a dozen seconds, Tony had received the analysis report.
However, the results in the analysis report weren't good news for Tony. "Thor, we're in big trouble!"
"What do you mean?" Thor looked at Tony, puzzled.
"My previous analysis wasn't complete. The magnetic field formed by this vibranium core isn't just meant to aggregate all of Seoul's land. It's also a constraint for nearly 500 kilograms of antimatter.
Once Seoul falls to Earth from this altitude, it won't just result in a massive impact. After the magnetic field fails, the enormous energy released from the annihilation of antimatter and matter will obliterate the entire surface of earth.
This kind of power won't spare humanity even if they hide in bunkers.
Even if we manage to stop Seoul's fall, the energy released from the annihilation of antimatter will still impact the whole Earth. Simultaneously, this degree of energy shock will cause the Earth's atmosphere to collapse. Even if humanity survives this explosion, they won't escape death eventually.
If we let Seoul fall, humanity will be wiped out. If we prevent Seoul from falling, the Earth's environment will collapse. Regardless of which option we choose, the final outcome is catastrophic."
"What if we use this? Like Mark did, disarm its safety measures, then let it consume the entire device!"
Thor had an unusual moment of inspiration; his intelligence wasn't offline. He took a box of capsules from his waist and placed it in front of Tony.
They had already witnessed the destructive power of the capsules as a weapon, so Thor believed that using this method had a good chance of resolving their current predicament.
However, Tony did reject his proposal, "The gravitational force of a small black hole isn't enough to completely consume a vibranium device of this massive size before the antimatter explosion occurs.
Besides, black holes are celestial bodies composed of normal matter, and we can't predict the consequences of antimatter within them. The risk of this decision is too great."
"But isn't it worth a try?"
"Yes..." Tony reluctantly admitted, "if I can't find a perfect solution before the final moment arrives, then we'll just have to give it a try."
"Do you want to ask Mark's opinion? I think he's much smarter than you. Like father, like son. Maybe he could come up with a solution from a different perspective—I mean, you both have different ways of looking at things. He might have another viewpoint?"
Thor suggested seeking Mark's advice. However, as he was speaking, he saw Tony suddenly open his suit's faceplate and his expression became very unpleasant.
So, just as Thor's intelligence came online, his emotional intelligence also kicked in. He quickly changed his tone, altering his own words.
"Do you want to contact him? I don't believe that a super genius like me can't solve this problem. What good ideas could that brat have?"
Tony said arrogantly. In reality, he was worried that his cutting words earlier might have caused Mark to block him. If he couldn't reach his son while Thor was present, he'd feel quite embarrassed.
"Alright, I'll contact him." Thor looked at Tony with some speechlessness. The relationship between these two father and son was even more complicated than Thor's own relationship with Loki.
"...Mark, the situation we're facing is like this. We wanted to ask if you have any way to solve this major issue..."
Thor contacted Mark, explaining the situation he and Tony were facing and seeking a feasible solution from Mark.
"I do have a plan that should be able to safely neutralize the threat posed by this antimatter."
"Hmm!" Upon hearing that Mark could immediately provide a solution, both Thor and the stubborn Tony pricked up their ears and listened attentively.
"Do you remember how Dr. Banner's Hulk ultimately disappeared without a trace after going berserk?," Mark didn't directly reveal his method; instead, he posed a question to Tony and Thor.
Being the super genius he was, Tony immediately grasped the intent behind Mark's question and the solution he was proposing, "You want to use the same principle, make the entire vibranium device enter a space portal. Then, through precise calculation, detonate the space portals simultaneously at the right moment, causing the antimatter inside to be drawn into the spatial turbulence!"
"Exactly, the key to this method lies in the precise timing of the detonation. But since Max was able to execute it smoothly, the chances of success are high for us as well.
Moreover, we already have the necessary equipment conditions. The spatial transmission nodes we set up in Seoul are still intact. Also, there's a spare space portal stored on Veronica, which we can use."
"As long as you and Thor can detach the entire device from it, making sure its size can fit through the space portal, then this plan is completely feasible."
Thor turned his gaze towards Tony. Although he had already agreed with Mark's proposal in his heart, making the final decision required seeking Tony's opinion. After all, dealing with advanced Earth technology was not his forte.
"Alright, for now, your proposed plan seems to be the best choice," Tony nodded, agreeing to Mark's proposal. "Thor, your task now is to carefully detach this core device using your hammer. I'll contact Veronica and have the backup space portal sent down."
...
Since they had now discovered Max's hidden contingency plan and had a suitable solution, Mark believed that Tony and Thor could handle it completely.
After ending communication with Thor's group, Mark shifted his focus to the now-evolved Baymax, who had become a true sentient being.
Just now, Baymax, having completed its transformation, had immediately shared this news with him, leaving Mark quite excited.
"Baymax, how do you feel now? Have your various ability indicators met our initial expectations?"
"Master, Baymax can now fully control the Earth's magic defense network left by the Vishanti. Here, I can easily perform data calculations that exceed tens of thousands of times those of the past.
Simultaneously, my perception and understanding of emotions have broken through to an entirely new level.
I believe that the emotions I can feel now and the expressions I can make have reached a level equivalent to that of humans.
What's more important is that, having gained complete control over the entire magic network, I can easily manipulate its dark energy, utilizing it to activate the magic and spells you've left in the database, even opening and closing mirror spaces and portals without relying on any artifacts.
However, after the evolution, I also felt a deep sense of emptiness. Although I can connect with you through the magic network, being the only presence in the entire network space still brings me a feeling of lonely fear.
Moreover, after becoming a sentient being, I can no longer see any space for me to progress and grow. I need to handle and jest with more advanced data streams to further break through the current limitations."
"To be able to understand the fear brought by loneliness, this statement proves that you've fully become an individual with independent thinking and consciousness in terms of self-awareness. This thoroughly demonstrates the success of our plan in this aspect.
However, you don't need to worry too much about loneliness. Now, the Mind Stone has become the largest data processing center on Earth. Whenever you want, you can return to Earth. The Mind Stone can fully accommodate your current data volume.
As for your next evolutionary direction, it will require a period of observation and recording. I need to get to know you again in order to provide a clear plan. This will also be an important research direction for us moving forward!"
