The other members of the Prime Universe Avengers were also selecting equipment in the gear area. Most people needed life support systems, even the genetically modified individuals were no exception. So after picking up their equipment, they all went to get the life support systems.
Actually, the Prime Universe also has similar technology. For example, Iron Man can engage in space combat within his mecha. This technology, when made available, can also be used by others, mostly made into something like helmets.
But the life support system in this universe was beyond their imagination. The life support device used for space operations in this universe turned out to be a ring.
The Prime Universe Black Widow was speechless for a moment as she held the ring. She looked at the ring, then at Spider Man who was responsible for distributing the rings, and hesitantly said, "You mean to tell me I should bring this little thing into space and trust it to provide protection against the vacuum? Couldn't you at least make it a bit bigger?"
"Ma'am, please don't doubt it, this thing is indeed effective. Even ordinary people are using it, and we've tested the effect thoroughly, there's absolutely no problem."
"Ordinary people are using it?" The Prime Universe Black Widow was even more surprised. She said, "Let's not talk about whether this thing works or not, but where did you find ordinary people around here?"
"Of course there are. It's just that most of the technical workers have gone to the front lines with the troops because there's so much to build over there."
"Oh, you mean ordinary people among the mutants, right?"
"No, I mean ordinary humans from Earth. However, the ordinary humans of this universe are relatively strong; they can survive in a vacuum environment for twenty to thirty minutes. With the life support system, staying in space for a long time is no issue."
The Prime Universe Black Widow seemed to be hearing an incomprehensible tale. She looked down at the ring again and suddenly remembered what Robert had said before, "You guys have a vacuum environment simulation training ground here, right?"
"That's right, a fully simulated space environment. But if you want to try it, you can also go to real space..."
"No, I'll go check it out over there first." The Prime Universe Black Widow quickly left. But she wasn't the only one with doubts; everyone who received the rings was also skeptical. And their routes of action were surprisingly consistent.
Spider Man generally doesn't lie, especially about matters of life and death. If they hadn't tested it themselves, they definitely wouldn't dare make such guarantees. Since he dared to assure them so confidently, there must be some reason, but it seemed too absurd. They could only choose to see it for themselves.
The Prime Universe Avengers took the rings to the space training ground, only to find that this was not a simulated vacuum environment—this was actually space.
The capital of the Andromeda Galaxy, Sky Island, is an island, and a very standard one with a thick middle and thin edges. For mutants, digging a hole along the thinner edge isn't difficult. Magneto had also canceled the magnetic protection here, making this place no different from the open space outside.
The members of the Prime Universe Avengers were hesitant. After all, the little ring didn't quite look reliable. While they were debating whether to proceed, the Prime Universe Iron Man showed up belatedly.
Dr. Banner turned around, somewhat surprised, and said, "Are you okay? But why do you look so pale?"
"Because I've been worried I'd break out in scales!" the Prime Universe Iron Man grumbled, "You guys just left me there, not caring about what would happen to me."
"Come on, Tony. What could they do to you?" the Prime Universe Black Widow said, "We didn't go with you because we were afraid you'd be embarrassed. If we heard your cries when you got the shot, you'd be grumbling for years."
The Prime Universe Iron Man opened his mouth but found that Natasha had a point. Although it was a bit inconsiderate of them not to accompany him, if they'd heard his cries, wouldn't that have been even more embarrassing?
The Prime Universe Iron Man could only sigh and say, "The guy who gave me the shot looked exactly like Doctor Lizard! I almost thought he was going to turn me into a lizard!"
"You didn't transform, did you? Well then, Mr. Steel Lizard, why don't you go down there and take a look first," the Prime Universe Black Widow said, "Take this to record the data, or we won't dare go down."
The Prime Universe Iron Man was puzzled—since he had come straight from the hospital, he hadn't been to the equipment depot and didn't know what the ring was for. But the moment he took the ring in hand, his expression changed.
"This thing..."
"What's wrong?"
"The structure is very ingenious," the Prime Universe Iron Man said, "It's practically a perfect creation of mechanics and magic. What's it for? To release a shield? But it seems a bit different."
"It's their life support ring, containing a life support system that allows a person to operate in space. Do you think it's reliable?" asked the Prime Universe Captain America.
The Prime Universe Iron Man nodded and said, "No problem, it's even far beyond. This thing can be used as a shield. As long as the energy doesn't run out, you shouldn't be shot down."
Hearing him say this, the group was reassured. They took their rings and jumped into the hole, only to find that nothing happened. The ring showed no reaction; it felt no different from being on solid ground.
Moreover, as the Prime Universe Iron Man mentioned, their bodies had a faint magic glow, seemingly offering a certain degree of defense, as well as strong resistance to impact and heavy blows. After a series of tests, they found it was even tolerant to fire and high temperatures.
