Chapter 271: Gaia Consciousness Guiding Plan

Dane Whitman, who had obtained the purified Ebony Sword, became the first member of the Benevolent Society to enter Avalon.

Perhaps, it was also his destiny as a descendant of Britain?

"You... are you Malorn?"

Looking at the soul projection of the white deer in front of him, Dane felt greatly stimulated.

"Are you...alive now??"

"Hello, Mr. Whitman."

Malorn's deer face carried a hint of a smile and he shook his large antlers. He had been closely following Dane's transformation throughout the process.

"Congratulations on gaining extraordinary power. If you need to practice, I suggest you come here. The buildings outside aren't very sturdy."

"Can I come here anytime?"

Upon learning that this place was Avalon, Dane couldn't help but recall his family heritage and his uncle's final wish.

The difference in treatment was staggering!

Sure enough, you need to have influential support...

Shaking his head to dispel those unreliable thoughts, Dane looked at the Ebony Sword in his hand and furrowed his brow.

"I can sense its power, but will it be okay to wield it here?"

"Don't worry, Avalon is protected by the power of nature, which is enough for you to exert yourself."

Oaks pointed to the surroundings.

"The plains around here are surrounded by forests. Although the air quality isn't the best, it's suitable for training.

We also need to make some modifications here. This place will open teleportation channels to the five continents and the Nature Guardian.

So our organization will be more integrated than any branch in the world...

In a physical sense."

In other words, even if he was in the European Branch, Dane could still receive various forms of support from the headquarters at any time.

This greatly relieved Dane.

"Chairman, the support personals for the meeting will arrive tomorrow... What time is it now?"

Although he was reluctant to leave this excellent environment, Dane knew that his responsibilities were crucial. But it must be nighttime outside now, right?

"This place maintains this level of illumination throughout the year. It's already past midnight outside.

The situation is special. You should take care of the matters at the castle first. I will go to the branch to establish the teleportation gate... Take this."

Oaks handed Dane an earpiece that had been modified with Nature magic.

"Once you're done, you can use it to summon Malorn. He will open a channel for you to directly reach the Branch."

"Understood, Chairman."

Dane left first to take care of the castle's affairs.

"Malorn, establish communication with Tony and Bruce. There's a five-hour time difference, and they're probably having a lively night now."

"Understood, Elder Brother."

The projection interface appeared, displaying the communication interface for Tony and Banner. Shortly after, the communication was connected.

"Hey! Oaks, where are you... huh?!"

Before Tony finished speaking, he saw the large white deer behind Oaks and his eyes widened.

"Did you go hunting?!"

"... This is Malorn's new form."

Oaks rolled his eyes, finding Tony's naivety amusing.

"I've told you before, I have the auxiliary consciousness of the 'Life Sanctuary Plan,' and he's it."

"'He'?"

Banner, who was beside them, keenly noticed Oaks' choice of words. They didn't use 'He' to refer to Malorn before.

"You mean... Malorn has truly become a real living being now?"

He stroked his chin while deep in thought.

"Is this the effect of the consciousness transfer device we built before? But we speculated that it still lacked a data conversion algorithm. Did you use magic to solve it?"

"You can say that. Are you both at Avengers Tower? If you return to the Nature's Guardian, you will notice the difference in Malorn—

Did you not notice anything different about my location?"

Oaks rotated the holographic projection, revealing the central plain of Avalon and the massive Sacred Oak Tree to Tony and Banner, causing the two world-class scientists to widen their eyes.

"This... Did you go to that Alfheim place?"

Tony remembered that Oaks had mentioned such a beautiful world, and when he was in Greenwich, he had even witnessed it and traveled to that world.

"No, this is an intermediate world, my private space... I sent you the detailed information."

After quickly browsing through the information sent by Malorn, Tony couldn't help but cover his forehead.

"Don't anyone say I'm rich again, or I'll lose it... Can I really afford to buy another small world with all my money?"

"This is real estate, not cash flow."

Oaks raised his chin proudly.

"Tell me, what do you think of this place as a 'Life Sanctuary'?"

"... I have to say, it's more reliable than anywhere on Earth."

Banner nodded with a serious expression. Like Steve, he had no goodwill toward governments and military forces.

After the incident with S.H.I.E.L.D, it became even more apparent— if even S.H.I.E.L.D. could be infiltrated by Hydra, then are there any enemies among the governments that constantly proclaim to eradicate Hydra and eliminate the remnants of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Even without Hydra, there is no shortage of political opportunists.

For researchers like them, this is their biggest fear, especially regarding the existence of Hulk, which they have always been concerned about.

"As long as Malorn's data communication is reliable, this is the most suitable location to house the biocomputer. However, we have both good news and bad news."

Banner looked at Tony, who nodded, and created a holographic projection window beside himself.

"The good news is that we have successfully designed the appropriate algorithm for the biocomputer and simulated it.

The bad news is that when calibrating the Mind Stone data with the new algorithm, if we rely on the biocomputer to carry the Gaia consciousness... we may need several years to collect the required environmental data from Earth.

It's not just a simple scan of the atmosphere and hydrosphere. There's also the complex lithosphere, and most importantly, the already named 1.8 million species of living organisms!"

He waved the holographic remote control up and down, feeling a bit irritated, and shook his head.

"We were too naive before. Even if we have the computing power to simulate a world, we don't have enough data to simulate a world...

And this data is constantly changing. Even if we collect certain suitable data, when it comes to integrating and calculating with other data, the difference from the real situation will be significant."

Banner also nodded while feeling distressed.

"If we only need to simulate climate, biological evolution patterns, or even conduct general environmental deduction, the data is sufficient. But if we want to guide the 'Gaia consciousness' to 'descend,' we still have a long way to go."

There are two methods to guide the descent of the Gaia consciousness.

First, Oaks would raise his reputation to admiration and use the power of the Mind Stone for guidance. In that case, only a biocomputer with sufficient computational power would be needed. But Oaks cannot do it now, so they can only proceed with the second method step by step.

They need to continuously improve the integrity of the "simulated ecosystem." When the completeness is high enough, Oaks can use the Mind Stone to proactively guide the attention of the Gaia consciousness, thereby giving birth to an "initial consciousness" within this semi-finished product, attracting the autonomous descent of the Gaia consciousness.

However, they hadn't expected it to take this long.

Originally, it wasn't a big deal. Such a monumental project would normally take several decades. But Earth couldn't wait, Oaks couldn't wait, and neither could Tony and the others.

However, this matter is not unsolvable; they just can't do it on their own.

"I have an idea that might solve this problem."

Oaks slowly voiced his idea, and Tony and Banner thought it over for a while before nodding one after another.

"This method is feasible. Then let's convene in our names..."

Tony's mood visibly improved. Completing the plan one day earlier meant that Earth would have comprehensive protection and early warning systems one day earlier, something he eagerly wanted to see.

"To be honest, your environmental technology company, even with Bruce joining, lacks sufficient visibility."

"Even with you, it's not enough. That's why I wanted to wait and see."

Oaks sighed.

"It seems we need to pull out all the stops as soon as possible. We need to achieve some results to improve our position in the world."

"Aren't we Avengers?!"

Tony widened his eyes and exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Here, we have three Avengers who saved the world!"

"This is a scientific project. We can't use combat power to rally scientists."

Banner understood Oaks' thinking to some extent because he himself had the same idea.

"Actually, Tony, your clean energy plan is a good model; it just needs to be scaled up. Also, the product our company is working on, once we achieve the scale of your clean energy promotion and jointly promote it, it will undoubtedly have a good effect."

"What product does your company have?"

Tony looked curiously at Banner, who was visibly proud.

"Mechanical prosthetics? It would be excellent if it can be included in medical insurance and promoted worldwide. However, it's not a mass consumer project."

"That's why we're preparing a consumer-oriented project—food."

Oaks spread his hands.

"I didn't tell you before because we just started the pilot project in Sokovia. But now, we may need to start the pilot work on all five continents as soon as possible."

"Food, Sokovia..."

Just hearing the name made Tony shudder, but the word "food" caught his attention.

"That's great...

In that case, Stark Industries will conduct simultaneous pilot work on clean energy on all five continents. Do you want to establish branches on all five continents?

I'll take care of the energy supply!"

"Good, we have already determined the European branch. I'll send you the address..."

Oaks raised an eyebrow, pleasantly surprised.

"Also, if you can develop a corresponding automated harvesting and refining system based on our food plan, I think it would be very helpful."

"Of course, I'm an expert in mechanical things!"

Tony patted his chest confidently.

"Leave it to me. Next, you need to take a look at the design blueprint for our biocomputer..."
