"I didn't have any intention of commercializing this invention," Mark straightforwardly explained to the two individuals.
"It's not because I have money and don't want to make more, or that I think I have too much money right now. The difficulty lies in establishing a commercial framework for the spatial teleportation portal, which is extremely challenging.
The manufacturing cost of the spatial teleportation portal itself is not particularly high, and I have already mastered the technological principles involved.
However, there is a crucial technology implicated that I currently cannot industrialize, and as a result, the spatial teleportation portal lacks the conditions for large-scale production, making it difficult to develop its commercial value.
My idea is to keep this technology within the Avengers for internal use. We can establish a few teleportation nodes in key hub cities around the world to facilitate our missions, avoiding any delays"
"I see. That's truly a pity! However, it's not bad that the Avengers can be the first to experience this technology, and at least it will be used in critical areas," Pepper responded.
After hearing Mark's explanation of the technology, Pepper felt a bit regretful for him, as he missed such a great opportunity.
Nevertheless, considering that both father and son were well-known figures on the rich list and among the top-ranked, Pepper didn't dwell on it too much.
Besides, the Avengers often needed to race against time during missions, and having this technology's assistance would enhance Earth's security.
"You invented this technology, and since you've made your decision, we'll respect it.
Later, I'll have J.A.R.V.I.S. calculate the optimal layout for the spatial nodes based on the Avengers Tower's location, and then we'll purchase the local properties to build the transfer bases.
You only need to manufacture the spatial teleportation portals, and the rest of the transportation work will be handled by Optimus Prime and Tornado"
Mark nodded and said, "Alright, please send me the quantity of the spatial teleportation portals later.
Even if the number is not large, it will probably take until next year to complete the deployment if we want to produce them all.
The testing experiments for the spatial teleportation portals have already been completed, and I still have two projects that need to be concluded as soon as possible.
I'll head back now, and let's temporarily place the portal at doorstep for my convenience in going home. Goodbye."
After saying this, Mark passed through the mirrored glass film and returned to his own laboratory.
Mark now had to strike while the iron was hot and quickly finish the research projects related to spatial aspects, and then focus on upgrading the central intelligence program of the Baymax's Core.
And now, he only had two research projects related to spatial applications left in his hands.
One of them was a secret weapon meant to counter Thanos in the future. This project couldn't be solved in a short period, so Mark had no intention of starting the research immediately.
The other project was an attempt to replicate the "Hoi-Poi Capsules(DynoCaps)" from Dragon Ball, which Mark had been wanting to do since obtaining the Pym Particles' data.
Although using the Pym Particle control device alone could achieve the same effect, such a product, just like the spatial teleportation portal, lacked the possibility of large-scale production and had certain limitations in application.
Mark's main reason for wanting to recreate the Hoi-Poi Capsules, even after possessing the Anima, was to provide other members of the Avengers Alliance with this resource.
After all, not everyone's equipment could integrate it with their bodies like him, and not everyone could summon their equipment back to their hands like Thor.
In case of unexpected situations where they couldn't return to the storage location to retrieve their gear, the existence of the Hoi-Poi Capsules would address this pain point effectively.
When needed, they could release it from the Hoi-Poi Capsules, and after the battle, they could restore it to capsule size and carry it with them, which would undoubtedly provide great convenience for the Avengers.
Therefore, the implementation of this technology had to be entirely done through scientific means, to facilitate future mass production, and it could not involve the restrictive magic methods that Rune Technology and others might have.
For Mark, this was indeed a significant challenge since he had become accustomed to combining various convenient means in his inventions.
It could be said that as long as the design requirements could be achieved, Mark wouldn't set any restrictions on the methods.
However, now that he had to adhere to the requirement of using scientific methods only, it greatly constrained Mark's actions, making him feel like he had gone from driving a luxury car to riding an old, dilapidated bicycle—slow and cumbersome.
But all of this couldn't stump Mark, this "cheat code" time traveler. After studying the data and information in the Cosmic Cube repeatedly, Mark finally found the spatial technology that could realize the Hoi-Poi Capsules.
Based on Mark's understanding of the Hoi-Poi Capsules in Dragon Ball, he deduced that Dr. Brief, Bulma's father, used a scientific principle known as Spatial Restructuring Technology.
By reorganizing the molecular structure of an object in space, it transformed it from its original massive form into a mini-capsule size.
This, according to Mark, was the true essence of the Hoi-Poi Capsules. And to achieve this technology, the most crucial component required was the key spatial wave generator.
The spatial wave generator is essentially a miniature Arc Reactor that can attach to an object. By attaching it to the object to be capsulized, the object can undergo a process of miniaturization and reorganization.
However, unlike a regular Arc Reactor, Mark has fine-tuned the energy wave frequency it emits. After the nuclear reaction, it releases spatial energy waves that are remarkably similar to the energy waves of the Cosmic Cube, rather than light or electrical energy.
Under the influence of this energy, the item undergoes a programmed process of spatial reorganization to achieve capsuleization, and the process can also be reversed to restore the item to its original state.
This way, Mark can fulfill all his requirements for the Hoi-Poi Capsules, and all the technologies used are based on scientific means, allowing for mass production through an industrialization model without Mark having to put in extra effort.
Furthermore, if the energy in the Arc Reactor is depleted, it can simply be recharged or replaced with a new module to continue its functionality. Its convenience level is quite high.
The only drawback is perhaps the relatively frighteningly high cost of producing the Hoi-Poi Capsules using this method.
After all, each Hoi-Poi Capsule contains an Arc Reactor, not to mention the additional control devices Mark has added, which indicates the considerable cost involved.
However, as the saying goes, not being able to afford something is not the fault of the item but of one's own shortcomings.
For a super-rich individual like Mark, the high cost can hardly be considered a drawback. The Avengers can use them as they please; if using them can bankrupt me, I'll just write my name backward—Mark!
In theory, the technical principles of the Hoi-Poi Capsule have already been perfected. However, putting them into practical operation is another matter altogether.
After numerous experiments on space folding, Mark still hasn't found a perfect space folding algorithm to achieve a seamless fit for various objects.
After all, different objects not only differ in shape and size but also in material and texture.
This complexity results in intricate molecular structures within the items, making it impossible to compress each item perfectly into a small capsule using conventional algorithms.
In order to achieve the perfect effect of the Hoi-Poi Capsule, Mark has spent half a month working on the final space folding algorithm but hasn't achieved satisfactory results.
"All things in the world have endless ways and forms that constitute them. I want to converge this irregular divergence into a unified set, but this is a dead-end with no way out. Yet, I've wasted half a month on this..." Mark lamented.
After experiencing a series of failures, Mark finally came to his senses. Expending energy on something destined to have no results would naturally yield no rewards.
Realizing this, Mark immediately decided to change his approach. Instead of relying solely on the folding algorithm to achieve the desired form, he decided to add an additional layer of capsule encapsulation outside the compressed object.
This not only simplified the implementation but also significantly reduced the difficulty in production, making it a win-win solution.
However, just as Mark was preparing to produce a batch of Hoi-Poi Capsule samples according to this new plan for testing, his AI assistant, "Baymax," suddenly informed him of an urgent call from Captain Rogers. Baymax asked if he should connect the call.
"Baymax. Produce a batch of Hoi-Poi Capsule samples based on the new plan first. I'll use them for testing later. Please patch Captain's call through."
"Mark, I and other Avengers are currently besieging a Hydra secret base near the Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. We have encountered some trouble. Tony and the other members are on another mission, and we can't reach them. So, we have to ask for your help.
Based on the intelligence I just gathered, it seems that this Hydra secret base is using a device similar to your energy shielding field inside the base. They have erected a formidable energy barrier around the perimeter, preventing us from launching an attack."
"Are you saying that they've deciphered my invention!?" Mark responded in disbelief upon hearing the Captain's distress call.
"It's not clear yet. Currently, only Hawkeye, Black Widow, and I are on this mission, along with a twenty-member armed team. We initially thought it was just a small Hydra base, but we didn't expect them to use this level of advanced technology for defense."
From the various properties of the energy shield, it does seem very similar to your invention. However, Hydra's energy defense barrier is much larger in scale." Captain explained the situation on-site in detail to Mark for analysis and assessment.
"Alright, you guys wait and don't act hastily. I'll be there soon. I want to see if the Hydra scientists are truly capable enough to crack my energy shielding field technology!"
After ending the call, Mark wasted no time. He controlled the nanobots to cover his entire body, forming his battle armor. Then, he visualized the scene of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii in his mind, and using his magic powers, he opened a portal, instantly arriving at the desired location.
Upon reaching the destination, Mark didn't immediately join the Captain and the others. Instead, he entered the mirror dimension and began observing the energy protection barrier surrounding the Hydra base.
The reason for not showing himself immediately was twofold. Firstly, he had traveled from his laboratory to this location in a short period, and it was challenging to explain the situation without revealing his identity as a sorcerer.
Secondly, this time allowed Mark to thoroughly investigate the Hydra energy barrier and find the answers he sought.
Even though he was in the mirror dimension, Mark's informationized vision still functioned effectively, allowing him to analyze the energy barrier outside the base clearly.
Hydra's implementation of the barrier was indeed eerily similar to Mark's energy shielding field, but rather than saying they had cracked his invention, it was more like they drew inspiration from his idea.
By combining the information and data they obtained from the Cosmic Cube, they accomplished this significant engineering feat.
The main reason this technology could be applied to this seemingly small base was the presence of a highly active volcano nearby.
Without the technology of the Arc Reactor or the Cosmic Cube at hand, providing sustainable energy for such a large energy barrier was undoubtedly not an easy task.
However, having an active volcano nearby changed the game. By harnessing the immense thermal energy from the volcano's lava and converting it into suitable energy to power the barrier, they could ensure the barrier's endurance while also reducing the volcano's thermal energy, thus lowering the risk of eruption.
To think of such a method to achieve this technology, he had to admit that among the fanatical followers of Hydra, there were indeed some talented individuals.
However, now that Mark had seen through the secret, breaking this barrier would be a piece of cake.
One approach was to use the old method he had employed before—penetrating the defense with energy pulses similar to the shield's frequency. This method was foolproof for energy shielding type barriers and would undoubtedly succeed.
However, for such a large energy defense barrier, using this method would be like using a toothpick to stir a big barrel—it would work, but it would be too cumbersome.
The other approach was to directly cut off the energy source of the barrier. Since its energy supply came from the volcanic lava's heat, there must be an energy conversion device connecting to the core of the volcano underground.
If Mark destroyed this device, the energy protection barrier outside the base would naturally collapse on its own.

The Obelisk - The specific origin of the Obelisk is unknown, and the time of its appearance on Earth is also a mystery.
However, it is speculated that the Obelisk has been on Earth for many years and was unearthed from underground.
The Obelisk was last seen by people in 1945.
At that time, it was stored in the last known base of Hydra located in Austria.
When Hydra was preparing to transfer it, the captain's former lover, Agent Carter, appeared leading the Howling Commandos and destroyed Hydra's last stronghold.
After the war, the Obelisk was placed under the custody of the "Strategic Scientific Reserve," which was the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Later, at some point, Hydra operatives infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. and moved the Obelisk to be hidden and researched within this base.
If it weren't for this time when Hydra was in a rush to implement their Insight plan and exposing their vulnerability to get wiped out by Captain and Fury.
S.H.I.E.L.D. might never have known about the transfer of the Obelisk.
It is said that the former leader of Hydra, Red Skull, once claimed that it possessed "the power to reshape death itself."
Coulson also believed that the Obelisk was some form of energy substance similar to the Tesseract, possibly one of the Infinity Stones.
That's why it was valued so highly, and he personally intervened to recover this item.
When Mark saw that the mysterious item Coulson was searching for turned out to be the Obelisk, memories related to it from his past life immediately surfaced in his mind.
The Obelisk is more like a container than an item.
What it contains is a mysterious crystal known as the Terrigen Crystal.
When the Obelisk is opened, the Terrigen Crystal would be revealed, and it releases a mist that petrifies surrounding objects.
Only those with Kree genetic markers can survive and undergo Terrigenesis, gaining various superpowers and becoming Inhumans.
For ordinary people without Kree genetic markers, it is nothing but a deadly poison.
However, Mark's knowledge about the Obelisk is limited to this point, as he did not watch all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's spin-off TV series, "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
Although he now possesses the superpower of informational vision, Mark only caught a brief glimpse, and Coulson had already closed the box.
Moreover, it seemed that the information inside was shielded by the Obelisk, and Mark didn't obtain any data about the Terrigen Crystal within.
"I'll have a chance to trade with Coulson later. Now that S.H.I.E.L.D. has fallen and risen again, my inventions should pique their interest," Mark silently thought to himself.
However, he wasn't in a hurry about this matter. He had plenty of other urgent things to deal with at the moment, and it wouldn't be wise to divert his attention.
Besides, in his memory, the Obelisk seemed to be lost again in the future.
As long as he lets Baymax pay attention to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s news, Mark might seize the opportunity to obtain relevant data about the Terrigen Crystal.
With Captain's leadership and Mark's assistance, the Avengers team successfully completed this mission.
Coulson's personal involvement also bore fruit, as he managed to recover the Obelisk stolen by Hydra.
After finishing the task of dealing with the Hydra base, Mark didn't stay long. He explained to Captain and the others that he had some business to attend to and left directly.
This time, to help Captain's team, he took a long journey and spent some time.
However, he unexpectedly obtained information about the Terrigen Crystal, so it wasn't a loss for Mark.
Upon returning to the laboratory, just as Mark had completed the improved design of the Hoi-Poi Capsule, the production was also finished, allowing him to start a new round of testing experiments.
But as if fate were teasing Mark, just before he could begin the testing, an emergency alert interrupted his plans.
"Baymax, what's going on!" Disturbed by the unexpected events time and time again, Mark couldn't help feeling a bit annoyed, and his tone became less friendly.
"Master, it's an urgent call for help from the Terminator. There are some tricky situations at the New York Sanctum that it can't handle," Baymax reported truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Mark's heart tightened!
Given the Terminator's strength, if it encountered troubles it couldn't handle, the situation must be extremely urgent. Mark wasted no time and immediately put aside his experiments, opened the portal, and arrived at the New York Sanctum.
However, after arriving at the Sanctum, Mark didn't witness any fierce battles or encounter vicious enemies.
Inside the Sanctum, besides the Terminator who was guarding it, there were only two beings present - one was Daniel, the sorcerer who had a previous meet with Mark during a handover ceremony at the New York Sanctum, and the other was a strange four-legged creature that Mark had never seen before.
"Daniel, what's going on? Why are you and an unknown creature here in the New York Sanctum, and the guardian I left behind informed me of an emergency at the Sanctum?" Mark directly asked Daniel, showing no interest in speculating about the perplexing situation before him.
Daniel seemed apologetic and helpless, and after organizing his thoughts for a moment, he explained to Mark, "I'm very sorry, Master Mark. Due to my negligence, my pet managed to use a portal artifact and arrived here at the New York Sanctum.
However, before I explain the whole situation to you, I hope you can keep this a secret from the Supreme sorcerer for now."
Mark didn't agree right away based on Daniel's sincere request. Instead, he shook his head and responded firmly, "You first explain the situation clearly, and based on what you say, I'll consider whether to inform the Supreme sorcerer or not."
Knowing he was in the wrong, Daniel reluctantly nodded and agreed to Mark's stance.
"This matter goes back to the incident from last winter when the Nine Realms Aligned, an event that happens once every millennium in the Nine Realms, and the Dark Elves descended upon Earth..."
After listening to Master Daniel's detailed narration, Mark finally understood the ins and outs of today's bizarre incident.
It all started with the once-in-a-millennium Nine Realms Convergence event that occurred last winter. Dark elves, harnessing the power of a spatial gem, suddenly appeared on Earth, posing a grave threat to the London sanctum.
In response, the sorcerer who was guarding the New York sanctum at that time, Master Daniel, was called upon to come and assist in preventing any accidental damage to the sanctum in London.
However, before the dark elves could cause trouble on Earth, they were swiftly dealt with by Mark, who wasn't yet a master of secret arts but had access to advanced weapons.
With the crisis ended, Daniel and the other Sorcerer who had been fully prepared to confront the dark elves had no chance to demonstrate their abilities.
But although the major threat from the dark elves was resolved without any damage to the London sanctum, the Nine Realms Convergence caused some degree of spatial disturbance among the nine Realms, pulling them together and leading to spatial anomalies.
Moreover, the dark elves' use of a cosmic cube for teleportation caused significant spatial energy, making the already tumultuous spatial boundaries even more chaotic. This resulted in accidentally transporting some otherworldly beings from different Realms to Earth.
As a general rule, secret art mages were not responsible for handling these kinds of troubles unless they involved interdimensional invasions or posed a threat to Earth's safety like the events during the New York battle.
During that time, although Loki and the Chitauri army posed a significant threat to human civilization, the Ancient One, despite her immense power as a supreme sorcerer, only dealt with the invaders near the New York sanctum and did not help the Avengers close the spatial portal, the source of the threat.
Indeed, the Ancient One's strength as a supreme mage was such that she could suppress various dimensional explorations aimed at Earth all by herself, showcasing just how formidable she was.
While she is alive, even Thanos didn't dare to personally attack Earth or entertain any thoughts of obtaining the Time Stone, purely out of fear of the Ancient One's power.
Of course, if Loki and the Chitauri's actions ultimately endangered the lives of the majority of humans, Ancient One and the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj would have intervened to stop them.
After all, Kamar-Taj's lineage required new blood, and the source naturally came from ordinary humans in the mundane world who possessed the innate potential to become sorcerers. If all humans were to be wiped out, then even the Ancient One's formidable power would be in vain.
Nevertheless, in the aftermath of the Nine Realms Convergence, the two young and passionate sorcerers, Daniel and guardian of London sanctum, decided to take matters into their own hands and discreetly deal with these extraterrestrial creatures to prevent unnecessary trouble and panic in the mundane world.
They went into hiding within the Mirror Space and acted separately, quickly disposing of the troublemakers. Their approach was swift and decisive, as they would spot one, take them into the Mirror Space, and then use offensive secret arts to deliver a fatal blow.
And as for the bodies of these extraterrestrial creatures, they can be handed over to the skilled craftsmen of Kamar-Taj. They can use the fur and bones from these creatures to create sorcerer robes with certain defensive properties or special artifacts.
Because these creatures from the Nine Realms inherently possess a certain affinity for magic, the materials taken from them are tougher and more resilient compared to ordinary ones. Some can even conduct the magical energy of a sorcerer, enhancing their abilities.
However, just as things were about to come to a close, Daniel found himself at a loss when faced with the last extraterrestrial creature he had to deal with.
But this doesn't mean that Daniel was defeated by the creature's formidable strength. Instead, he was defeated by its familiar and cute display of coquetry.
This strange, four-legged, hairless creature, after being pulled into the Mirror Space by Master Daniel, didn't go on a rampage out of fear as expected. Instead, it behaved exceptionally docile and extended its big tongue to lick Daniel, leaving him covered in sticky saliva.
Afterward, this massive creature, much taller and longer than Daniel, acted like a pet dog and squatted next to him, rubbing its big head against his arm.
In that moment, Daniel's kind-hearted nature was softened by the creature's affectionate behavior. He ultimately decided to give up killing it and instead secretly hid it away, claiming that he had already slain all the invading creatures, thus concluding the operation.
From then on, Daniel frequently shuttled between the New York sanctum and the creature's hiding place in London, becoming its caregiver. He officially named this peculiar and adorable creature "Cutie" and treated it as his pet.
Daniel didn't reveal this little secret to anyone else, and he was very discreet about his actions. With Cutie safely hidden in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of London under his careful protection, nobody else discovered its presence.
Until not long ago, when Mark took over the responsibility as the guardian of the New York sanctum from Daniel, Daniel voluntarily requested to be transferred to the London sanctum to continue his duties.
Seizing this opportunity, Daniel brought Cutie to the sanctum to take care of it. Having such an affectionate companion by his side made the once tedious and monotonous guard duty much more bearable.
However, perhaps due to being confined in a small space for a long time, Cutie started becoming more mischievous, often running amok inside the sanctum, causing chaos.
Until today, when it accidentally rushed into the teleportation portal connecting the London sanctum and the New York sanctum and was brought under control by the Terminator, Daniel's little secret could no longer be kept hidden.
As Daniel was a sorcerer of Kamar-Taj and the guardian of the London sanctum, the Terminator couldn't decide whether to take action against Cutie, who invaded the sanctum.
In the end, the Terminator had no choice but to send a distress call and report the situation to Mark.
Faced with the unyielding Terminator and Mark's scrutinizing expression, Daniel had no choice but to explain the truth to Mark.
Regarding this peculiar event, Mark was quite speechless after learning the truth.
He couldn't really find any fault with Master Daniel's actions, considering that Daniel had diligently carried out his duty to safeguard the sanctum's security and hadn't caused any negative consequences due to his affection for Cutie.
In the end, Mark let Daniel off the hook and promised not to report the matter to the Supreme Sorcerer. However, he requested Daniel to keep a close eye on Cutie and ensure that such a mix-up wouldn't happen again.
At the same time, Mark reminded him not to neglect his responsibility of guarding the sanctum. Otherwise, if the Supreme Sorcerer were to hold them accountable, the consequences would be
