Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

It has undergone a magnificent transformation into a modern metropolis.

Upon arriving in Novigler, the Tera government took the matter very seriously and immediately granted the couple a detached apartment.

Of course, Otto and his wife didn't care much about these issues of treatment.

What truly pleased Otto and Rosie was that Terra immediately set up a laboratory for them, and construction of the laboratory proceeded promptly according to Otto's request.

All kinds of precision equipment are available.

In addition, Terra also prepared a team of twelve people for the couple.

Otto was very satisfied with Terra's full support.

The artificial sun project began to move forward rapidly.

Melina, the head of the Science and Technology Department, attaches great importance to the artificial sun because she keenly perceives that its prospects extend beyond just unlimited energy.

Just as Ivan said, the artificial sun will eventually be upgraded to equipment and war.

For example, in weapons.

If we could perfectly control the sun, we could develop various trans-temporal and trans-space weapons based on its energy.

As a result, numerous related technology projects have been submitted for proposal.

Stellar-driven, regulating stellar temperature, stabilizing energy, and controlling the creation of planetary-level catastrophic weapons such as solar flares and solar winds.

This is not only driven by technology, but also by magic.

Just as the method of utilizing the infinite power energy constructed from the fist's cosmic dimensions can be applied to the sun.

Once these technologies are fully and successfully developed.

This signifies that the Terrans possess stellar-level catastrophic power and long-range strike support beyond visual range, holding a pivotal position in both close-quarters and interstellar warfare.

That's why Melina takes it so seriously.

Meanwhile, the development of room-temperature superconducting materials is nearing completion and can also be applied to the artificial sun project.

In comparison, the Arc Reactor's strategic importance is far inferior to that of an artificial sun.

When Matthew saw the message, he almost couldn't hold back.

What kind of Super God Academy, Lieyang Star Civilization, and Stellar Technology?

Wow, the tech department can easily create some surprises for them if they give them even a little space.

To be fair, the scientific theories proposed by Melina and other science and technology departments actually have a high probability of being realized.

Although it can't compare to the dark matter dimension technology in Super God Academy, it actually has many similarities.

In comparison, Terra lacks something truly special: an astronomical computer.

This level of computer technology is incredibly advanced.

Using stars as batteries and galaxies as hard drives, this computing power, capable of simulating the past and future of the entire universe, represents a level of computational power comparable to a dimensional reduction attack.

It is absolutely the pinnacle and ceiling of technological prowess.

For example, the celestial-level computer clock of the Shenhe civilization.

Its volume is the size of the Milky Way, requiring thousands or even tens of thousands of stars to power it. It is the known first supercomputer in the universe, the prototype of all celestial computers, and the rest are low-end versions.

Its computing power performance.

It can simulate the evolution of the entire known universe from the Big Bang to the present day, a process spanning 137 billion years.

It can accurately deduce the development tree of all civilizations in a galaxy, down to the details of every person and every planet.

It possesses void-level computing power, capable of analyzing dark matter, void engines, and the spacetime structure of black holes.

There is also the sacred treasury of knowledge of Keisha, the Holy Angel King.

Given Terra's current capabilities, the possibility of building a celestial computer is quite high.

Firstly, the potential for controllable artificial suns is very high, and the core of the whole domain energy is to build a cluster of multiple controllable fusion reactors.

Comparable to small stars, it continuously outputs stellar-level energy, which is fully capable of supporting the massive energy consumption, magnetic field maintenance, and particle computing of astronomical computers.

Secondly, there's the aspect of materials and chips.

The breakthrough in room-temperature superconductivity completely breaks the limitations of chips. Superconducting coils construct ultra-large-scale confinement magnetic fields, locking fusion plasma and high-energy particles in the computing cavity as computing media.

Superconducting quantum nodes enable ultra-large-scale parallel computing and data transmission with latency approaching zero.

No cryogenic refrigeration is required, the equipment size is greatly reduced, and it can be modularly expanded indefinitely.

There was also a breakthrough in materials brought about by the Swallow Fruit.

It can be converted into a superconducting substrate and an insulating layer for high-temperature resistant cavities as needed.

The science and technology department has already included astronomical computers in its follow-up research plans, leaving Matthew utterly dumbfounded.

In fact, the universe is really similar to a computer structure.

That is the supreme intelligence of the Kree Empire, one of the three great empires in the Milky Way.

However, the Supreme Intelligence is an organic computer network composed of the frozen brains of hundreds of the greatest Kree people, created by the Kree Empire. It possesses self-awareness, strategic thinking, and psionic projection capabilities.

The Sky Ladder computer is essentially a supercomputer system at the stellar level or above, usually based on planets or even stars as its physical foundation, emphasizing celestial-level computing power and engineering.

The difference between the two is that the former is like a temple composed of living brains, while the latter is like a Dyson sphere-like server orbiting a star.

Compared to the super-life AI of the Supreme Intelligence, it is clear that a pure celestial supercomputer is more suitable for Terra.

To reiterate, Terra doesn't need an Iron Man crisis.

Terra's ruler is Matthew, not a super-intelligent AI life form.

Therefore, Melina and other officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology did not allow Matthew to intervene or correct the direction of the research.

On the contrary, he will strongly support it.

Even if we don't eventually develop a celestial-level computer, the results of this research will be enough to propel Terra to a technological leap forward.

After all, the scientific and technological knowledge contained within it is truly astonishing.

These precious scientists are his second golden touch.

Matthew remained hopeful.

While waiting in anticipation, Matthew was studying something in the mirror dimension.

He floated in mid-air with his legs crossed.

A gemstone emitting a greenish light floated silently in front of him.

The Time Stone.

One of the most powerful collections of rules in this universe.

It is also the source of future cosmic-level disasters.

The Infinity Stones are the earliest things to exist in the universe, and also the most powerful objects in the universe.

The gemstone is oval with a smooth surface.

Billions of years ago, before all recorded time, the Infinity Stones were once a single unit, a solitary entity.

They are sentient beings with boundless power.

There are six gems in total, each controlling space, time, reality, power, mind, and soul.

Each gemstone contains a power of rules.

The gemstone contains not only infinite energy, but also rules.

However, it is extremely difficult to extract the rules from them and turn them into knowledge for one's own use.

Because each gem possesses its own consciousness, it requires a sacrifice to use it.

To put it bluntly, whether you're using or acquiring knowledge, you have to pay a price.

This is a side effect of using gemstones.

Odin, the king of the gods, once collected the Infinity Stones. He knew about the Infinity Stones in ancient times and was willing to pay any price to collect them.

Odin thus successfully found the Space Stone.

Odin even commissioned the then-dwarf king to forge the Infinity Gauntlet as a vessel for this purpose. However, when Odin wanted to obtain the Soul Stone, he discovered that he had to sacrifice his most beloved to acquire it.

Odin couldn't do that; he knew he could never have all six Infinity Stones, so he had to give up the idea.

His daughter Hela even said that this was one of the reasons he became hypocritical.

Matthew borrowed the Time Stone from the Ancient One, not because he believed he could gain and control the power of time, but simply because he wanted to know if that possibility existed.

After all, mastering the rules of time and space can enhance one's own strength.

Unfortunately, Matthew failed.

Because this gem has an inexplicable strangeness.

The misuse of the Time Stone would have caused extremely serious causal paradoxes, leading to the collapse of the timeline or the tearing apart of reality. The Ancient One once said that if you play with time, then time will play with you.

To put it bluntly, intervening in time will sacrifice the future. Once the stability of the real world collapses, it will take several times the effort to repair it.

This is a result of the timeline being based on the divine timeline.

Now that the future timeline has been altered due to Matthew, the effects of the Time Stone have become distorted.

Although it has not lost its original function.

Matthew used the Time Stone to peek into the future, and the result was, to put it mildly, bizarre.

He saw countless futures, various destructions and reboots, but Matthew and Terra were nowhere to be seen.

Yes, the future seen by the Time Stone is still based on the future in the original timeline, only those futures have now become countless branches without Matthew and Terra.

Even the future of what was originally the sacred timeline has become a branch.

It has absolutely no reference value.

Matthew found this very strange.

He initially wondered whether his existence allowed the universe to continue operating smoothly because of the system, or whether the OAA, the supreme being, was observing and intervening.

But the future that Matthew saw through the Time Stone made him feel that his doubts were not quite right.

Could it be that Matthew's timeline is actually a single line connecting countless future branches?

Matthew almost burned out the CPU.

It's true that the more you know, the more confused you become.

Forget it.

Matthew decided to stop thinking about it. Since things were already like this, he could only take it one step at a time, and his goal remained unchanged.

As for the Time Stone, he promptly returned it to the Ancient One.

This thing is quite powerful, even very powerful, but it's not very useful for Matthew right now.

In fact, the Ancient One herself doesn't value the Time Stone that much anymore.

It was used as a fishing tool at best.

Yes, after the consequences of timeline collapse were eliminated, the Ancient One no longer considered the original timeline. According to the course of history, this thing would eventually be handed over to her good apprentice, Doctor Strange.

After Thanos's arrival, Thanos collected the six Infinity Stones, creating a cosmic-level crisis.

Now, Gu Yi doesn't care about this or that.

What crisis? If you're so capable, come and rob us on Earth.

If you dare to come, let's see if the Ancient One dares to beat Thanos.

The Ancient One had long disliked people like Thanos.

Although the Ancient One yearned for a wider universe and more knowledge, and was different from ordinary people in terms of her mindset, it does not mean that she was without compassion.

The Ancient One was able to see the essence of all things in the universe.

Knowing death, rebirth is a cycle.

They knew that natural death and being killed were part of the cycle of fate, but Thanos went too far.

Thanos can't even be described as a butcher; he's more like the Grim Reaper's scythe.
