Marvel Earth, a Testing Ground
Howard Stark is a brilliant inventor and engineer, and the father of Tony Stark, the Iron Man.
He is currently a bachelor, enjoying the endless pleasures of the world, and has no plans to have children.
This person is arrogant and domineering, and has a very high opinion of himself.
However, compared to his future son, he has much higher emotional intelligence.
Within his predetermined destiny, he laid a solid foundation for Stark Industries and maintained close ties with the military.
When the "New World" project connected global political systems, Howard Stark's keen sense of opportunity led him to get involved immediately.
Based on the principle of making the best use of resources, Wang Yan put him in the same research team as geniuses such as Dr. Zola and Dr. Abraham, specifically to tackle scientific research problems.
A genius can easily become arrogant and complacent.
But when multiple geniuses appeared around him, Howard Stark couldn't be arrogant anymore.
He quickly realized his own "mediocrity".
So Howard adjusted his mindset and tried to prove himself with a series of scientific achievements.
Wang Yan didn't spend too much time on these scientists; he had his own things to do.
In just three months, the Underworld has been built.
The extensive network of tunnels connects all human inhabitants in 119 "Dawn Bases" around the world.
This is the New World, Eden for all mankind.
Everyone enjoys equality in terms of personal dignity and status.
They enjoy an abundance of material comforts and a wide variety of spiritual pleasures.
There is no crime or the Jail here.
Because there is a supercomputer called "God of Justice" that monitors everyone's behavior in real time.
If someone is found to have committed a serious violation of the laws and social morality of the New World, that person will be banished to the surface.
Ninety-nine percent of humanity is grateful to Wang Yan for creating the current situation.
Because of the New World created by Wang Yan, they gained resources they could never have enjoyed in their entire lives, as well as respect and opportunities for education.
Only a very small number of people hate Wang Yan.
Those people were originally "superior people," enjoying the status of rulers and standing at the top of the social pyramid.
But in this so-called New World, they have to be on equal footing with those "little people" who were once looked down upon.
How could they not hate Wang Yan, who built this society without privileges?
Besides these two types of people, there is a third type.
Or rather...
The Wakanda.
Wakanda was originally located in northeastern Africa.
On the surface, it is a poor and backward agricultural country, but in reality, it is the most technologically advanced country on Marvel's planet, possessing the unique and rare resource "Vibranium".
The Wakanda live in isolation and do not engage in any political cooperation with other countries.
They have a sense of superiority that they are the only ones who are sober while everyone else is drunk.
This sense of superiority was shattered by the Aragami Hiyori and Wang Yan's New World Project.
Their upbringing prevented them from hating Wang Yan, who had rescued them from the clutches of the Wild God.
Even the Wakanda couldn't convince themselves to love and respect the Wang Yan.
The emergence of a new society means that countless problems need to be solved.
Wang Yan understood the principle that "those who labor with their minds govern others, while those who labor with their bodies are subject to others' control."
If you try to handle everything yourself and solve everything personally, problems will inevitably arise over time.
Therefore, he selected relevant talents from survivors around the world and formed think tanks for various departments.
"There is an oversupply of super corn, and it is recommended to discard some of it."
"You spendthrift! You've only been eating well for a few days, and you've already started wasting food!"
"How did you pass the IQ test? We strongly urge the God of Justice to raise the standards of vetting and purify the team, lest the think tank become a group of idiots!"
"Intelligence is not the same as emotional intelligence. Everyone here has their own area of expertise. Please do not make arbitrary judgments about a person's value."
"It is recommended to improve the corn syrup extraction process, as refined sugar products are conducive to improving the happiness index of the New World citizens."
"Due to the Aragami's Apocalypse, the male-to-female ratio in the New World is severely imbalanced, now reaching 7:12. Reproductive intervention is recommended..."
"Isn't polygamy simpler?"
"Veto!"
"I think it's possible to create 'realistic spouses' and 'silicone companions.' After all, the technology in the New World is so advanced that it's entirely possible to create artificial humans that are indistinguishable from real ones."
"I second that! We should build sperm banks and add gene-coding chambers to the bodies of simulated partners. These could even truly help citizens reproduce!"
Wang Yan didn't concern himself with these details; when he was overseeing the overall situation, he only set a few major directions.
1. Survival. In any case, the survival of humanity in the New World will always be the primary factor.
2. Material needs are met. These include basic necessities for citizens such as eating, drinking, mating, and procreation.
3. Spiritual needs. This encompasses citizens' means of realizing their self-worth and seeking enjoyment.
4. Social order. Stability, harmony, fairness, and autonomy.
However, think tanks only have the right to make suggestions, not the right to make decisions.
Their suggestions will be compiled by a supercomputer called "God of Justice," which will then make a judgment without any emotional bias, ultimately deciding whether to implement them.
As God Eater, Steve Rogers is a beneficiary of the New World.
He has a high level of social authority and so many Credit Points that he could never use them all in his lifetime.
But he couldn't understand Wang Yan's behavior.
"In that case, there would be no freedom for humankind."
"Everyone is controlled to live their entire life, like this..."
Steve looked at his companions, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
In the end, he could only sigh, "Anyway, this is not good. I want to try to persuade him to abolish the God of Justice."
Winter Soldier Bucky shook his head and said firmly, "I don't agree with your idea."
Peggy Carter expressed a similar sentiment. "You're so naive! Humans are inherently creatures lacking self-control."
"I guarantee that if the God of Justice disappears and people lose control, the New World will soon become a living hell and be completely destroyed."
"Do you think... absolute freedom is more important, or a happy and fulfilling life?"
She cared about this friend and didn't want to see him do anything foolish.
So she added, "Besides, even without New World, without God of Justice, absolute freedom does not exist in this world!"
Steve Rogers was stunned.
Having been brainwashed by the "American Dream" since childhood, all he could think about was freedom and dreams. He never imagined that there would be such serious consequences.
He quickly realized his mistake.
Indeed...
Without Wang Yan, without the New World, without the God of Justice, people would still be living in dire straits.
Ordinary people don't have their fighting power, and every day they have to risk their lives to explore the post-apocalyptic wasteland for a bite of food.
Thinking of this, Steve's face flushed red.
He felt ashamed of his naive thoughts.
Wolverine patted Captain America on the shoulder and said casually, "You haven't forgotten what the boss told you, have you?"
Steve nodded.
About a day earlier, Wang Yan informed them that Asgard would be sending a god to Earth in the next few days.
Whether friend or foe, as God Eater, he must first make thorough preparations.
After all, that's a god.
