The Universe Communicator you brought back last time is truly a good item."
"It elevated Jarvis's information transmission speed by a notch. Now, no matter where I am on the Planet, I can have Jarvis remotely send my Iron Man Armor to me."
"The only pity is that I forgot to ask for your Universe Communicator number last time. Otherwise, I could have contacted you much earlier."
As Tony and Harvey walked down to the Underground Research Lab, Tony seemed to open up, initiating the conversation.
"If you need it, I can exchange it with you."
Hearing Tony, Harvey tapped his right wrist, and a projection popped out.
"Alright, but how far is the place you stay in the Universe from the Planet?"
"If it's too far, the signal might not be very good."
"Although I've researched it, it's still somewhat lacking due to material limitations."
"So, it's better to just use the one you gave me," Tony said, picking up the Universe Communicator Harvey had given him from the table.
He was very confident in his own intellect, but the Universe Communicator was, after all, the crystallization of alien technology.
The technological gap between the Planet and alien civilizations was still very obvious; being able to replicate a slightly inferior version in just a few months was already quite good. It was unlikely to completely catch up or even improve it in a short period.
"Either is fine."
Harvey didn't mind, tapping a few times to connect to Tony's Universe Communicator, and they exchanged communication signals.
"Oh, right, Harvey, there's something I feel I need to consult you about."
"Although the Universe Communicator I researched and produced isn't as advanced as the one from the Universe, once it's widely promoted, it will bring in immeasurable wealth."
"It will also drive the development of various technologies on the Planet. Do you think I should promote it?"
Tony saw that the name on the communication signal was Kassadin, not Harvey. His eyes flickered, but he didn't ask further, instead bringing up another matter.
"You can promote the Universe Translator."
"However, for the Universe Communicator, unless the Planet is already planning to integrate with the Universe, it's better not to promote it for now."
After exchanging signals, Harvey found a random spot to sit down and said.
"Doesn't the Planet have God King Odin and Sorcerer Supreme protecting it? Aren't those alien people afraid to act recklessly?"
Hearing Harvey, Tony had some questions in his mind.
"Tony, I know you want to drive the technological development of the entire Planet, allowing humanity to have more self-preservation capabilities."
"But you must know that once the Planet begins to widely use the Universe Communicator, it means sending a signal to alien civilizations."
"The Planet has prepared to meet with various civilizations from different Planets, and they will also increase the probability of visiting the Planet."
"Once this signal is released, it will be irreversible."
"Although the Planet, with Odin and Ancient One protecting it, doesn't fear the arrival of alien races now, they don't have many years left to live."
"Can you guarantee that the Planet's technology can rapidly develop within a few short decades, entering the interstellar era and catching up with the starting point of other alien civilizations?"
Seeing Tony's expression, Harvey understood Tony's thoughts and slowly said.
"Although I really want to guarantee that it can, due to the various material resources available on the Planet, it's unlikely within ten years."
Hearing these words, Tony's face showed a bitter smile.
The Planet's technological development could be said to be extremely fast. From the steam age to the current modern society, it only took a little over a hundred years.
Human technology has developed rapidly over these past hundred years, which can be attributed to the continuous succession of countless geniuses and the efforts of countless people.
A hundred years could allow past humans to update and iterate through several eras, but for a civilization, a hundred years might only be the beginning.
Tony had learned from the books Harvey brought back that many Planet civilizations in the Universe generally only formally connected with other Planets after entering the interstellar era.
The Planet can currently at most launch Rockets and satellites to explore a few Planets around it; it is still a long way from the interstellar era.
This was also the reason why he had researched and replicated a low-end version of the Universe Communicator but didn't rush to publish it immediately, intending to discuss it with Harvey first.
To be honest, Tony's heart held some lucky, because while it was unlikely for the Planet's technology to catch up in a short time, the Planet had two great figures overseeing it, who could buy humanity enough time for development.
However, Harvey didn't explicitly state how many years Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi and God King Odin had left to live.
But Tony estimated it would be within these few decades.
In a few decades, it was hard to say whether humans could even bring back some rare materials from the Universe that the Planet didn't possess.
Even if Harvey helped bring them back, researching and manufacturing them would take a lot of time, so catching up to the starting point of alien technology was not something that could be achieved in a short period.
"Tony, you don't have to be too anxious."
"While I understand you want to integrate with the Universe, absorb knowledge from various civilizations like crazy, and thus invent more things to benefit humanity, you don't need to rush too much."
"As long as you don't encounter any accidents or die in battle, you have a long lifespan and can research step by step," Harvey said, seeing the bitter smile on Tony's face, comforting him.
"I have a lot of time, but the Planet and humanity might not have that much time," Tony said, crossing his arms and stroking his chin, a conflicted expression on his face.
Ever since Harvey brought him alien technology, Tony, apart from daily meals, three hours of exercise every day, and spending time with Pepper after midnight, basically spent the rest of his time in the research lab.
It was fortunate that he had joined the Void; otherwise, if he only rested two to four hours a day for several months, his body would have long collapsed.
Seeing Tony like this, Harvey knew that for someone like Tony, who was cursed by knowledge, the more he knew, the harder it was for him to feel at ease.
People afflicted by the curse of knowledge would feel anxious due to insufficient firepower and hidden safety hazards.
To completely eradicate this anxiety, only by resolving the issues that concern Tony can he truly feel at peace.
Otherwise, no matter what words are spoken, it will be difficult for Tony to relax, slowly do what he is interested in, and then lazily and comfortably spend each day.
However, this was not a bad thing for Harvey, because he knew that the more Tony was like this, the more his plan could be implemented.
But before discussing that plan, Harvey felt it was better to wait for an opportune moment.
"Time will bring you everything you want. Let's not talk about this anymore."
"How is your Iron Man Armor?"
Therefore, Harvey looked at Tony and deliberately changed the topic.
"I've been researching the things you brought back to me for over two months."
"The materials you brought back are more suitable for improving intelligence than for improving the Iron Man Armor's power or hardness."
"So, in just over a month, the Iron Man Armor's performance has only seen a small improvement; the greater improvement is mainly reflected in the intelligence aspect," Tony said, seeing that Harvey had actively changed the topic, temporarily putting aside his concerns.
If Jarvis's intelligence was improved, it meant the Iron Man Armor's intelligence was also improved, allowing it to execute all his instructions more quickly.
