The camera switched.
Soft music began to play, and a quiet, peaceful little house on the side of the road appeared on the screen.
The camera extended from the outside into the house.
It showed a young Captain America and Peggy Carter, embracing tightly, gently keeping time, and dancing.
Both of their faces were filled with happy smiles.
The image froze on the happy faces of Captain America and Peggy Carter.
"Not bad, spending a lifetime with the person you love, that's really not bad!" Thor immediately said to Captain America, very satisfied.
Captain America's face also showed a hint of envy.
Even though the person in the image was him, it was a version from another parallel world. In this world, he might not even have such opportunities.
For one thing, considering how much future information they had learned and the rewards they'd all received, Captain America didn't think there was a high chance of Thanos successfully snapping his fingers.
Otherwise, they'd all be pretty useless.
Which meant the Time Machine might not even be invented.
There was a high probability that Captain America wouldn't even have the chance to travel through time.
Furthermore.
Captain America hadn't been lying before. He wasn't giving any thought to things like family, relationships, or the stable life of an ordinary person.
Captain America's main focus right now was to strike at Hydra and deal with Thanos, nothing else.
He felt a bit envious of the two people in the image, but also a little unfamiliar, as if they were far away.
"Although I think this is great, and I'm really happy for Captain, truly, but... in the future, there won't be a Captain America in the world?" Peter Parker suddenly thought of something else and spoke to everyone.
No one knew how old Captain America was, but even if they calculated the approximate time, he would be around one hundred and sixty or seventy years old.
Even ignoring his age, Captain America was now an old, hunched-over man.
It was impossible for him to continue being Captain America in this state.
He would have to retire with honor.
"This kid hit the nail on the head!"
Scott Lang was also stunned. "Honestly, I grew up hearing stories about Captain America, and I'm honored to live in the same era as him. I really can't imagine what it will be like without Captain America."
"Not only is there no Captain America, but there's also no Iron Man," T'Challa added from the side.
Before Captain America went back to the past to return the Stones, Iron Man had already snapped his fingers and died!
"No Iron Man either? What happened? Iron Man and Captain America don't exist at the same time? Oh my god, this is suffocating!"
Peter Parker looked terrified, covering his head with his hands and shouting.
"Calm down, kid, these things haven't happened, and they will never happen," Tony Stark said calmly to Peter Parker.
"Uh… right." Peter Parker reacted, becoming calm again in a second, "Since we know the future in advance, then of course we can change the future."
[Please answer the question: After Thanos snapped his fingers, the superheroes embarked on a journey back to the past to collect the Infinity Stones. Who came up with the idea of time travel?]
[A. Iron Man, Tony Stark]
[B. Dr. Bruce Banner]
[C, Scott Lang]
[D, Wong]
[Friendly Reminder: Those who answer correctly will receive a dose of the improved Micro-Glow; Those who answer incorrectly will have a random attribute deducted, including but not limited to knowledge, experience, skills, and belongings...]
The system's prompt interrupted the discussion.
The latest question appeared.
Everyone was quite interested in this question.
They all knew that after Thanos snapped his fingers, the superheroes traveled back to the past and gathered the six Infinity Stones. But this method was very subversive, even unbelievable.
It was time travel! It sounded like a fantasy.
Looking back, it might not seem like much now, but when the idea was first proposed, it was undoubtedly groundbreaking and earth-shattering.
Everyone was very interested in who could have come up with such a brilliant idea.
"Time travel? Wow, that's a groundbreaking concept. It must have been a very talented person who came up with it, right?"
Scott Lang immediately exclaimed in admiration, his face filled with indescribable respect.
"Agreed. Whoever it is, they must be a super genius!"
Peter Parker immediately agreed, looking at his idol with sparkling eyes. "Could it be Mr. Stark? Such a genius idea, only Mr. Stark could have come up with it, right?"
At this point, Peter Parker seemed to feel that his words were a bit inappropriate, because there was another person present who was also a possibility.
"Mr. Lang, I didn't mean to belittle you, it's just that Mr. Stark is a well-known scientific genius throughout America..." Peter Parker quickly explained to Scott Lang.
"Fine, kid, you don't need to explain." Scott Lang was actually quite calm about it.
Being outshined by Tony Stark wasn't shameful!
"Alright, everyone, let's start analyzing the question." Captain America, as always, acted as the "topic reminder," prompting everyone.
The others stopped talking and focused their gazes on the big screen.
"Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, these two options are scientists."
T'Challa scanned the options and briefly categorized the people, "Scott Lang… MIT graduate, Wong, he's a sorcerer."
"So, we can roughly divide the options into two categories: scientists and magicians."
T'Challa's classification was quite helpful for analyzing the question. After all, time travel was nothing more than scientific methods or magical methods.
Once the specific method was determined, the other category could naturally be eliminated.
"We can rule out magic," Thor immediately decided. "We've seen what the Time Machine looks like; it's a technological product, right? It has nothing to do with magic."
The Time Machine's appearance was clearly displayed in the two videos: Nebula using it to send Thanos, and Captain America going back to return the Infinity Stones. It was indeed a technological product.
And since the possibility of someone being both a scientist and a magician was really unlikely, the option of Wong was basically eliminated without much debate.
The remaining options were three scientists.
Or rather, two scientists and one "highly educated intellectual."
Everyone quickly made a basic judgment on how to choose.
"No offense, Lang, but I think we can rule you out too," Captain America said to the group. "When it comes to science, it's clear that Stark and Banner have the edge."
Tony Stark, well, there's no need to say much. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the most brilliant scientist of our time; everyone knows his accomplishments in science.
To be a mortal comparable to a god isn't just a casual statement.
And then there's Dr. Banner.
Through the quiz, everyone also learned that this man is also a rare super-genius in science. Not to mention anything else, just having seven doctorate degrees is already incredibly impressive.
In some areas, even Tony Stark has to seek Dr. Banner's help.
For example, when creating Ultron and Vision.
If we're talking about who, out of the remaining three options, is most likely to come up with a groundbreaking idea like time travel, everyone really thinks it can only be these two.
As for Scott Lang…
Although he also held a master's degree from MIT, making him a highly educated elite, he seemed insignificant compared to the other two.
After a brief discussion, Scott Lang was also temporarily ruled out.
Everyone agreed that the answer should be found between Tony Stark and Bruce Banner.
"So, is the answer Tony Stark or Bruce Banner?"
T'Challa pondered for a moment, then asked Tony Stark, "Between you and Dr. Banner, whose research focuses on Quantum Mechanics?"
In the previous video, Dr. Banner, having already transformed into the Hulk, explicitly stated that the Time Machine's theory utilized Quantum Mechanics.
This could be considered a strong determining factor.
The person who knew the most about quantum power between Tony Stark and Dr. Banner was the obvious answer.
"That's a shame," Tony Stark said, shaking his head. "My research hasn't touched on quantum mechanics, and as far as I know, Dr. Banner hasn't either."
If that was the case, it was a bit of a problem.
Because besides that, they couldn't think of any other criteria for judgment.
"So, is there any way for us to know which of Tony Stark or Dr. Banner mastered quantum mechanics in the future?"
Scott Lang couldn't help but glance at everyone present and asked.
Unfortunately, after a moment of thought, they found there was no evidence to support this.
This question seemed to have hit a dead end.
"Everyone, when we encounter a situation like this, it usually means we've overlooked something. Let's all re-examine the problem carefully and not miss any details."
"Even if it means nitpicking!"
After a moment of silence, Tony Stark seriously reminded everyone.
The others didn't say anything more and began to carefully examine the problem, pondering each word and phrase.
As Tony Stark had said, they even started to nitpick.
"Could it be that we've fallen into a misconception?"
A moment later, Scott Lang seemed to remember something. He looked at everyone with bright eyes and said, "The question is who proposed the idea of time travel, not who invented the Time Machine!"
"Lang, what are you trying to say?" Thor couldn't help but ask, staring at Scott Lang.
"I don't know, I haven't come up with anything yet. I just suddenly thought of this. I mean, it's just about putting forward an idea, right? You don't necessarily need to master the relevant theoretical knowledge?"
"For example, a lot of people want to be Iron Man, but those who want to be Iron Man aren't necessarily all Tony Stark. They could be ordinary people!"
"It's just an idea, not a theory, right?"
"Lang has a point."
Captain America immediately agreed, "Our previous analysis had some fixed thinking. The question says to propose an idea, not a theory, so the possibilities are more extensive."
"It's possible he just watched a movie about time travel!"
"Exactly!" Peter Parker nodded deeply in agreement. "After I watched Back to the Future, I also wanted to invent a time machine like the Doctor in the movie and travel to the past!"
"But just watching a movie isn't enough to convince the Avengers to invent a time machine," Tony Stark said calmly.
"Before the Time Machine was actually invented, all these ideas about time travel… I think they were absurd and impractical."
"So many movies have been made about time travel, everyone knows the concept, but has anyone ever taken the idea seriously?"
"Lang's right. Anyone can come up with the idea of time travel, but the key question is, how do you convince people it's actually possible!"
"I think there must be certain conditions for it."
With those words from Tony Stark, everyone felt like they were onto something.
Indeed.
The idea of time travel was crazy and absurd, and it wasn't even a new concept, but a cliché.
So why, in the future, would superheroes re-examine this absurd concept that they normally wouldn't take seriously?
Even starting the process, eventually inventing the Time Machine.
There must have been a key opportunity involved.
Everyone thought that if they could analyze what that opportunity was, perhaps the answer to the question would become clear.
"I've thought of two possibilities."
After some thought, T'Challa spoke to everyone.
"First, the person who proposed this idea not only came up with the idea but also presented all the relevant mature theories."
"So, Stark and Bruce Banner, after seeing the completely feasible theories, believed in this idea."
"The second possibility is that the person had other, compelling evidence to prove that time travel was achievable."
