"Wow, we struck it rich this time—spaceships, small space cruisers, railgun weapons." Tang Tian spoke excitedly. He was none other than the boss Tang Tian, who had just returned from the Battle for the Planet of the Apes Dimension.

The gains this time were considerable, and it had been incredibly easy. He had effortlessly conquered the first colony with five hundred men and biological weapons. In truth, Tang Tian had completely hunted down the tens of thousands gathered in what resembled the central government's settlement. The remaining several million Apes had naturally become colonized slaves. Humanity once again became the rulers of the planet. Then, under Leo's leadership, they found the remaining spaceship wreckage and another small space cruiser. Once everything was done, Tang Tian returned to the Marvel Universe with the complete spoils of war.

Three months earlier, at the underground High-Tech Weapons Research Institute in New York City. "Mr. Tesla, this place is truly suited for your research. Only an expert like you can decipher the electromagnetic weapon data from the spaceships and the Railgun. I have never thought much of Edison. I think he was an insult to you." At the High-Tech Weapons Research Institute, Tang Tian spoke respectfully as he looked at the true great scientist, Nikola Tesla, a scientist ahead of his time.

"Are you really willing to help me research them?" Nikola Tesla asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I am willing to help you. There is no one more suitable for the High-Tech Weapons Research Institute than you." Tang Tian remained respectful.

"Alright, I agree. This is also the first time in my sixty-five years that I have been valued. Thank you for allowing me to fulfill my dream in the final years of my life." Eighty-five-year-old Nikola Tesla spoke with deep emotion.

"No, no, you are wrong. This is not the end, but a new beginning." Tang Tian looked at Tesla and smiled brightly. No one knew that Tang Tian genuinely respected his former teacher.

There was no need to worry about Teacher Tesla's age. Why? Because Umbrella was a biopharmaceutical company. Aside from its breakthrough research into viruses such as the Progenitor Virus, Codename: Rebirth's rejuvenation experiment had made full use of organ transplants, cell replacement, and muscle activation to restore treated people to their youth. That was precisely what Tang Tian intended to do.

Nikola Tesla was born in 1856 in Croatia. He was a world-renowned inventor, physicist, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer. At the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, he made outstanding contributions to electricity and magnetism. In 1882, following Edison's invention of direct current, he invented alternating current and built the world's first AC generator, establishing polyphase power transmission technology. He was a peerless genius and a great man forgotten by the world. The AC generator was his invention.

The success of the Battle for the Planet of the Apes colonization plan had been inevitable. Hundreds of thousands of ancient Inca Empire soldiers armed with cold weapons had suffered miserable defeat against the firearms of Western colonizers. Likewise, biological weapons and firearms easily defeated millions of Apes. Then, fifty thousand ordinary genetic clones were dispatched to completely occupy the planet and begin establishing various high-tech industrial bases. After humanity's rise and education, the natives had also gradually begun adapting to early industrialization.

According to the vague explanation of the Hexagram Main God, which resembled a tattoo on his right arm, the time ratio between dimensions and reality was 1:100. In other words, one hour in reality was equivalent to one hundred hours in a dimension. That was why Tang Tian had chosen to leave temporarily. Umbrella's large-scale arms production lines and biological weapons laboratories had already been moved to the Battle for the Planet of the Apes Dimension, with Leo, the male protagonist, serving as its temporary representative. Tang Tian would not visit the Pandorum Dimension for the time being. After all, one could not bite off more than one could chew. The Hexagram Main God had yet to fully revive and could only function like a computer, providing whatever was requested. As one of the Seven Origin Artifacts that transcended divine weapons, the Infinity Gauntlet was simply pathetically weak by comparison.

The greatest gain from the Battle for the Planet of the Apes Dimension was the vast amount of electromagnetic rail weapon technical data from the 2029 spaceship. Based on the data Umbrella had deciphered, humanity's most formidable weapons in that dimension were all kinds of electromagnetic rail weapons. Aside from electromagnetic rail pistols, there were electromagnetic rail cannons, electromagnetic pulse bombs, electromagnetic pulse rifles, and other powerful electromagnetic weapons. The spaceship itself had also been completely deciphered by Red Queen and the scientists. And then? There was no then. They directly began attempting to manufacture medium-sized space warships, equipping them with the laser cannons researched by Umbrella. That would make trips to the Terminator and The Matrix much easier. Adding electromagnetic pulse bombs and various electromagnetic weapons would be even better, since those were the most powerful weapons for countering electronic equipment.

Three months after returning to reality, Tang Tian had already allowed Nikola Tesla to be reborn. After complete organ transplantation and muscle activation restored Nikola Tesla to his youthful appearance, he thoroughly analyzed the electromagnetic rail weapon data. Through his research, he invented the Tesla Coil Electromagnetic Rifle, which was slightly inferior to the Railgun. Under Tesla's design, the Tesla Coil Electromagnetic Rifle could give its bullets an initial velocity of 680 meters per second. The powerful kinetic energy it generated could even blow up an armored vehicle. The enhanced Railgun was even more powerful, but it would still take time before it could be mass-produced on an assembly line. Its output was not very high, and its power was roughly three times that of the coil electromagnetic rifle.

The principle of the Tesla Coil Electromagnetic Rifle was to use instantaneous pulsed current to generate a powerful magnetic field in the drive coils along the barrel, drawing ferromagnetic material toward the direction of least magnetic resistance. When the bullet reached the center of the coil, where magnetic resistance was lowest, the power was cut off, and the bullet flew out through inertia. That was the principle behind the Tesla Coil Electromagnetic Rifle. Umbrella now possessed electromagnetic weapons no weaker than Hydra's energy weapons.

World War II was still underway, and Tang Tian continued observing the various developments around the world. Magneto and Professor X were bound to appear sooner or later. After Erik had been separated from his mother in a concentration camp, his anger awakened his mutant talent. Then Black King Shaw threatened Erik with his mother's life, forcing him to use his mutant abilities once more. However, Erik did not have a protagonist's plot armor. His mother died before his eyes, and her death set him upon the path of Magneto. Put simply, it was like Itachi Uchiha provoking Sasuke Uchiha in Naruto—using rage to unlock the power leading to the realm of gods.

Before he knew it, he had been back in reality for quite some time. Captain America was now officially prepared to deal with Red Skull's Hydra forces. Tang Tian had also profited greatly from the situation. Umbrella's spies, mercenaries, and biological weapons infiltrated everywhere, throwing the Hydra Base into complete chaos. They also allowed Dr. Zola to witness his strength, laying the foundation for having him serve Tang Tian in the future. Tang Tian seized all the replicated energy weapon research data from the energy weapons research center and obtained a large number of energy batteries. For the time being, he would not think about the Tesseract. He would let the plot continue to develop.

"Germany is still worth visiting when I have the time. Meeting Magneto would be good too; it would benefit me as well. As for power, the Progenitor Virus and G-Virus are almost ready. Veronica should be retrieved from Antarctica first. The fusion of multiple viral powers will definitely be incredibly strong. That will be my power." Back in New York City, Tang Tian opened his eyes and thought silently. World War II in the real Marvel Universe was raging fiercely. This was the perfect time to go to Antarctica and retrieve samples of the Veronica Virus. Germany was also worth making contact with, considering Magneto and his mother were both Jewish.

PS: It is time to collect the Veronica samples from Antarctica. The plot is developing steadily, so I will try to minimize chaos. Please support the story, everyone. Thank you.
