Chapter 216: The Expansion Plan of the Benevolence Society
Once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back. Randolph could only brace himself and meet the King of Asgard.
And Oaks finally managed to extricate himself from Odin's affairs and focus on his own matters.
By the way, with the precise coordinates provided by Randolph, Agent Coulson's elite field team successfully dismantled the organization searching for the Berserker staff.
As agreed, Oaks also received the precise data of the Berserker staff. So, in his action figure display, there was another weapon from Asgard.
After this period of development, Oaks' tree-planting enterprise had spread throughout the entire United States.
With the addition of Maya Hansen, the Oak Tree Environmental Technology Company successfully strengthened the tree species they had developed previously and further promoted it, increasing the greening area of the entire United States by 20% in one go!
The first batch of enhanced plants, the integrated landscape aquatic plants for organic matter purification of water bodies and the integrated landscape trees for air purification and soil organic matter purification, had been widely applied.
The two current research targets were the super-fast organic matter degradation moss and the super-strong sand-fixing and drought-resistant shrub.
The organic matter degradation moss was mainly used for waste disposal. The mangroves Oaks used to clean up the oil spills on the sea surface relied entirely on his Nature energy to function. However, if it were to be widely promoted, the plants themselves would need to possess this ability.
This moss had astonishing effects—whether it was animal waste, plant waste, or synthetic materials like plastics, as long as it was lifeless carbon-based organic matter, it could effectively degrade and transform it into relatively harmless substances. The only difference was the efficiency.
Currently, Oaks is conducting further experiments to make their variant algae effective in marine environments.
Marine debris and solid waste pollution such as plastics were global problems just as severe as land-based waste pollution.
The other type, the sand-fixing and drought-resistant shrub, would be Oaks' trump card for rapidly expanding vegetation coverage.
Deserts cover over 20% of the world's total land area, and deserts are the least productive type of land.
It is well known that deserts are not suitable for plant growth mainly due to the lack of water. However, in reality, underground water exists in desert regions, often with abundant reserves. This is also the primary water resource for the few oases found in deserts.
However, plants in deserts, or in desert-like areas such as the Gobi Desert or saline-alkali lands, have no opportunity for their roots to reach the depth of the underground water.
So, this is the purpose of Oaks' development of these adaptive plants—to have roots that grow fast enough and deep enough.
With Oaks' nature magic stimulating their growth, the roots of these super-drought-resistant plants can quickly penetrate the groundwater, and then they can absorb the groundwater to support their own growth.
At the same time, once they have achieved a certain scale, they can direct the precious groundwater to the surface, gradually improving the desert environment.
These plants, transformed by nature magic, grow extremely rapidly, and their massive root systems firmly anchor the shifting sand dunes.
The Benevolence Society has already utilized them to successfully green approximately 10% of the barren areas in the Mojave Desert, the driest area in North America.
This research achievement shocked the world.
After the initial success of the project, Oaks began preparing to truly push the Benevolence Society onto the world stage.
The headquarters of the Benevolence Society was already the Nature Guardian, a vessel located in international waters. In practical terms, it had become an organization detached from any specific country.
With Oaks' identity as an Avenger and his high global reputation, even if the U.S. government was not particularly willing, they had no choice. On the contrary, they had to provide Oaks with sufficient privileges—otherwise, the public and the media wouldn't let them off the hook.
There were media and capital attempting to find negative information about the Benevolence Society or Oaks himself. Some even tried to infiltrate the society undercover.
However, those on the outside were relatively harmless. They were simply struck down by the Benevolence Society's network and were unable to turn the situation around.
As for those who managed to infiltrate...
There was no need for Oaks himself to take action; the members of the Benevolence Society, with their firm beliefs, would teach them a lesson. They would either be infected and assimilated by their enthusiasm or exposed and disgraced.
The nature of the Benevolence Society as a nonprofit organization naturally received support from the public. At the same time, the Society's benefits were extremely tempting. Take, for example, an acorn bracelet crafted by the Society's chairman, which would keep your mind clear, body healthy, and even heal injuries when necessary. Would you like one?
This item would immediately lose its effect once separated from the Benevolence Society, whether by choice or by force.
Additionally, the Benevolence Society had strict rules. If anyone violated the rules or committed acts against ethics and public welfare, they would be immediately expelled, with no tolerance.
As Oaks had said, the Benevolence Society's ranks always remained pure.
To push the Benevolence Society onto the world stage, regional branches needed to be established.
And for any continental branch, Oaks needed to personally visit and inspect--
The scale of the Benevolence Society was still too small to enter most countries, so they could only select suitable countries from the five continents to establish the initial five branches.
Each branch would operate independently and gradually expand its influence within its respective continent.
The previous headquarters of the Benevolence Society, the "Little Rainforest" in Brooklyn, New York, would serve as the branch for the Americas, responsible for development affairs in the Americas.
Although the Benevolence Society already had sufficient influence within the United States, the efforts of the Americas branch were still needed for Canada and the countries of Central and South America.
Oaks had already found a suitable leader for the Americas branch.
Matt Murdoch, the Benevolence Society's legal advisor, who would graduate with a master's degree this year.
Vice President Blaze Clark was now stationed on the Nature Guardian, gradually transferring various responsibilities to Matt.
For the Asian branch, Oaks already had a plan in mind, waiting for the right timing.
As for the African branch, Oaks had an idea, but it was uncertain whether there would be an opportunity for its realization, so it would depend on the next steps.
The Oceanian branch would most likely be established in Australia, barring any unexpected circumstances. However, the Benevolence Society had no particular connections there, so even the city had not been determined yet.
Therefore, Oaks' recent focus was on Europe.
The location for the European branch was essentially determined by Oaks--
England, where the entrance to Avalon was located.
Therefore, London became the ideal choice for the Benevolence Society's European branch.
Due to the recent celestial convergence event, Oaks' reputation in London was still at a very high level.
"Now, it's time to find the leader for the London branch."
Oaks held a document in his hand:
"Internal File - Dane Whitman."
During this period, Oaks occasionally had contact with his uncle, Dr. Nathan Garrett, and they had enjoyable conversations.
This young man, Dane Whitman, who had shown exceptional performance despite his relatively short time with the Benevolence Society, had caught Oaks' attention.
