Chapter 313: The Nature Energy of the Microverse
Deer... no, it's a tree who loves playing games.
After finally accepting the fact that this AI was from a gaming background, Dr. Pym rubbed his temples vigorously. What have these guys come up with?
This is really... amazing!
"The matters of the quantum realm are far more than just a question of computing power and algorithms. I need more experimental support to explore its mysteries."
Dr. Pym pondered for a while and his expression turned serious.
"Carter should have told you that I have been conducting a very important experiment recently. Its purpose is to explore and rectify the chaotic spatiotemporal laws within the quantum realm in order to find my lost wife."
A nostalgic smile appeared on his face. His wife, Janet Van Dyne, the original Wasp, had shrunk to subatomic size during a mission to stop a missile and got lost in the quantum realm.
Initially, Pym believed that Janet was forever lost in that timeless and spaceless world and would be unable to return.
But Scott Lang's successful return from the quantum realm gave him new hope.
It proved that the quantum realm did indeed possess concepts of time and space. Although it was chaotic and completely different from the real world, as long as it existed, its laws could be discovered!
As long as he found the spatiotemporal laws within it, Pym had hope of bringing Janet back!
"But what you just mentioned has given me a completely new idea...
The quantum realm is the existing model of the space you want to build.
If we can delve deep into it and gather data and information, it will undoubtedly greatly simplify the creation of the quantum computing center...
The quantum realm undoubtedly has an influence on the soul and the brain. The data and laws within it are indispensable for creating the space you desire.
I'm not without personal motives. What I want to do is rescue Janet from the quantum realm. However, this research is not conflicting with what you want to achieve.
If we can reach a consensus based on the ideas mentioned above, I think..."
"Agreed."
Oaks's answer left Pym and even Banner stunned.
Pym still didn't know how insane the quantum realm could be, but Oaks knew.
The quantum realm, the deeper quantum void, and the quantum spatiotemporal tunnel that can ultimately traverse time...
Of course, Oaks wouldn't oppose Dr. Pym's exploration of the mysteries of the quantum realm, especially considering that the quantum realm indeed had astonishing connections to the soul, thoughts, and tangible existence.
Establishing a virtual space to preserve souls through quantum computing was already a risky idea. Even Oaks, who was well-versed in soul magic, couldn't be sure what changes would occur when a genuine soul entered this virtual space.
Why hadn't Tony and Banner, two powerful scientists, been able to come up with a viable quantum computing solution?
With their intelligence and access to research on the Mind Stone, creating a quantum computer should have been relatively simple.
However, there is still a significant difference between pure AI and genuine life, soul, thoughts, and consciousness.
No one had certainty that this would truly work.
In many science fiction novels, augmented reality games required the player's brain as the computing unit, uploading their processing power.
However, that was just like what Oaks and the others did with the Gaia consciousness, creating a "mirror" of consciousness. The players' souls did not leave their bodies and enter the game world, let alone live separate lives within it.
That's why Oaks needed Pym—
As he had said, the virtual space generated by quantum computing is an artificial simplification of the true quantum realm.
And Pym's wife, Janet, is the only known human who had lived intact within the quantum realm for an extended period!
If they could study Janet's existence and form, then this virtual space would truly have a practical application.
Furthermore...
The concept of "nature."
From the initial flora and fauna, life force, to natural environments, wind, frost, rain, thunderstorms, and the power of planetary ecosystems, it is referred to as the "Nature Energy."
Later, with the development of Druidism, the sun, moon, stars, cosmic energy—when viewed from a macrocosmic perspective—all fell under the category of the "Nature Energy."
So, initially, what Oaks believed to be the Druids' "balance between nature and the universe" was, from a macrocosmic viewpoint, still the original "balance between oneself and the external world."
It's just that the concept of "self" expanded, and the concept of the "external world" expanded as well.
The concept of the "Nature Energy," when viewed from the entire macrocosmic universe, could even be extended to encompass the energy of the entire universe.
But what about the microcosmic universe?
Does the power of the quantum realm belong to the realm of "Nature Energy"? Can it be controlled by Druidic nature magic?
In fact, one of the questions that has always puzzled Oaks is the shape-shifting magic of the Druids.
It's not an illusion, but a genuine transformation of life forms.
What is the principle behind it? Does magical energy cause changes in the body's structure? But this affects the entire species...
And Agatha's shape-shifting magic—Oaks quickly learned it because of his own shape-shifting experience, but even Agatha herself didn't understand the underlying principles.
Why can a dog transform into a cat, a cat into a rabbit, a rabbit into a frog, and a frog into a cockroach?
The power of magic modifies reality, and it operates at the microscopic level.
So, could it be related to the energy within the microcosmic realm?
If the ability to shape-shift is genuinely due to the special energy of the quantum realm, modifying the essence of life at the molecular or even subatomic level, then it means that this power has already been unconsciously applied.
Oaks could potentially master this power belonging to the same category as "Nature Energy"!
This temptation had even surpassed the dream dimension!
"I like mutually beneficial win-win cooperation, and it has always been the case. This time is no exception."
Oaks smiled and extended his hand.
"I don't quite understand the matters of the quantum realm, so I'll rely on Dr. Pym for that. Bruce and Malorn will assist you to the fullest extent.
You might wonder if the 'Life Sanctuary Plan' is necessary, but intelligence suggests that we aren't overly paranoid—
I hope that day never comes, but if we ever have to confront extraterrestrial forces, it will be our last resort."
"I understand."
Dr. Pym fell silent for a moment, then smiled and shook Oaks's hand.
"With the presence of Thor, you can obtain information from extraterrestrial planets, and your identity is not that simple either...
Furthermore..."
He adjusted his glasses and glanced at Malorn with interest, who was tilting his head and looking over.
"I'm confident that if we can truly create 'Earth Online,' it will definitely become a sensation worldwide."
"Happy cooperation!"
...
Dr. Pym joined the research team of the Life Sanctuary. Scott Lang, also known as Ant-Man, and Hope Van Dyne, the Wasp, naturally joined the Avengers as new superheroes to confront the massive threats brought by the "Global Warning System."
Every time Tony returned, he would regret it.
He regretted bringing the Gaia consciousness mirror. Its timely feedback on danger was simply too overwhelming, and even so many Avengers were struggling to keep up with it!
This also made Jarvis's workload increasingly heavy.
The Iron Legion was responsible for handling many dangers that didn't require high-end combat power.
This led to the gradual separation of the Iron Legion from Tony Stark, the Iron Man, in the eyes of many.
A new superhero called "Jarvis" emerged, and that's how people referred to him, those who had received his assistance.
And the Gaia consciousness, now called the Gaia Mirror, was starting to bring changes to Oaks.
Firstly, the Nature Energy of Avalon was growing stronger, aided by the influence of Ta Lo. Avalon, as a pocket dimension, began to expand!
Moreover, Oaks himself gained a direct increase in the Nature Energy he could wield.
Utilizing the analysis data from the Gaia Mirror, the established branches of the Benevolence Society quickly took action in their respective responsible regions.
While the Ten Rings had already completed their transformation, Oaks personally made a miraculous move in the world—
Oaks and China signed an incredible agreement.
In half a year, they would restore the seventh-largest desert in China—the Kubuqi Desert!
The Kubuqi Desert, located closer to the capital, lies north of the EEDS Plateau ridge and south of the Yellow River on the Hetao Plain.
During the 1980s and 1990s, winter and spring were plagued by violent winds and yellow sandstorms, causing great suffering to the capital, located 800 kilometers away.
In fact, last year, one-third of this desert had already been greening, and the achievement received the United Nations' 2015 Land Life Award—an outcome of efforts since 1988.
Private enterprises and the Chinese Academy of Sciences were involved, and nearly 30 years of arduous research efforts had shaped this miracle.
By the time of the Benevolence Society's agreement in 2016, the vegetation coverage in Kubuqi had already reached 53%.
With the strong intervention of the Benevolence Society's Asian branch and the Ten Rings Security Company, a miracle combining environmental technology and nature magic unfolded in the desert.
Countless Foundation No. 2—Sand Entrapment Mosses covered desert areas that were still beyond existing means of coverage.
Even in over 40% of the remaining desert area, the Benevolence Society planted hundreds of giant oak trees that were previously thought to be impossible to grow in the desert.
These were seeds of the Sacred Oak Tree, and the Nature Energy from the Sacred Oak Tree's main body nurtured these saplings, rapidly and resolutely altering the structure of this ancient land. The desert was transforming into fertile soil, grasslands, and farmland!
By the second half of the year, it had already turned into a sea of green!
