Not only was the hidden security higher, but for these crew members, being summonable by the spaceship at any time also meant their own safety was greatly increased.

In necessary situations, they could completely teleport and retreat. This meant that infiltration actions that previously required hesitation could now be done without delay.

Of course, this anti-summon retreat method was not without its drawbacks. It could only unilaterally authorize teleportation. If something happened to the Artemis or the teleportation platform malfunctioned, these people would be unable to return to provide support.

"Unless we can completely occupy and rule this world, we are still outsiders, and it's better to remain sufficiently vigilant."

Ada had done well in this world, but this didn't mean she wouldn't encounter trouble or danger again, or even more danger than before. Of course, this was Ada's living environment, and she was quite used to it. The comfortable and leisurely life she had on Ethan's ship these past few years made her forget the feeling of those days a little. She even spent some time re-adapting to this rhythm of life.

"Okay, then when I come next time, I will equip each of you with a personal teleportation positioning device. Once activated, the Artemis will receive the signal and directly summon you back to the spaceship."

The theory behind this thing was not complicated, and Ethan had long mastered the specific knowledge. However, it involved inter-planar summoning, and he was not personally casting the spell, so he could not adjust it according to the situation. Therefore, it would take some time to ensure these devices worked properly.

After chatting with everyone for a while and understanding their situations, this time, including Ada, Betty, and Logan, three people would leave with him.

"You're not staying?"

"I don't have anything to do here for the time being. Cherry Military Industry is on the right track, and they need to develop steadily and discreetly from now on. Selene can handle occasional problems."

Ada's main job during this time was to intercept intelligence in advance, eliminating threats to Cherry Military Industry early, and by the way, collecting various technical data from this world. This was her old profession, so she was more comfortable doing it than anyone else. Three months ago, she had already obtained all the technical data she could steal.

Currently, Cherry Military Industry only had one Heavy Sword rifle on the surface and was slowly developing a new type of exoskeleton power armor, but in reality, it possessed a large amount of high-end technology from this world. If there were trustworthy individuals among the researchers, Cherry Military Industry could fully begin researching and mastering these technologies.

Now, these technologies could only be taken back to the Artemis by Ada, and at the same time, bring back some technical data from the Artemis when she came next time.

Because developing in this world was a decision made after arriving here, everyone did not make any preparations in advance, nor did they prepare various technical data in advance.

Ethan did bring back some Iron Monger data this time. This thing was actually just a design idea. With the technical capabilities of this world, it could be easily copied. Of course, some details still needed to be slowly researched and tested. The advantage of Cherry Military Industry was that they had a complete and mature design plan, and only needed to make slight adjustments based on the technology of this world. For example, the most important power system for this weapon.

"Some functions can be adjusted. The Iron Monger we make doesn't need to be able to fly high like a rocket, it only needs to maintain a certain propulsion capability so that it can land stably when falling from a high place. This way, the Iron Monger can even be air-dropped."

"You don't need to say that, I can think of it too."

Annette was originally a biology and virus expert, but she had so much free time on the ship. When she wasn't busy, she studied. Considering the nature of Ethan's team, she focused on catching up on a lot of military and weapon knowledge. She could also think of this level of modification and adjustment.

"Then we'll go first. When we come next time, we'll bring you more technical data."

The Artemis recorded a lot of technical data mastered by Tony Stark, including scientific and technological knowledge from many advanced civilizations collected in the Marvel world, as well as various weapon data collected bit by bit by Ethan, and even some of Tony's armor data. Of course, this data was outdated for Tony. This man who was constantly upgrading his armor, almost every set of armor became outdated within a month of its creation.

As for these outdated technologies, if others wanted them? Heh, are you awake?

Ethan's situation was different. Although Ethan was constantly finding things for Tony to do, he always brought Tony some new technologies each time. These new technologies were also of interest to Tony and could be considered payment for work. In addition, their relationship was good, and Tony didn't care about giving away some technologies he didn't need. The most important thing was that he knew Ethan wouldn't take his technology and run away and turn his back on him.

After returning to the Artemis, he didn't rush to adjust and correct the teleportation platform, but instead took a few people on a tour of the entire ship.

Logan knew the general layout when he followed Ethan to retrieve the Prometheus, but Tony made significant changes to the entire ship, which could be considered a new ship.

After allocating the rooms, Logan also met the radiant Banner.

"What's wrong with him?"

"I helped him solve the Hulk problem."

After briefly describing what he did, Logan understood why Banner was like this. Anyone could see that he was in a very good mood.

"It's a pity I didn't meet you earlier."

He thought of an old friend, who also had another personality hidden within her body and caused a lot of disaster. Although this history had completely disappeared due to some magical experiences, it still remained deep in his memory. After all, she was someone he loved and who died by his hand.

Ethan saw his expression and knew what he was thinking, and could only comfort him. "Don't think that way. Her situation is completely different from Banner's. Even I wouldn't have a better way to handle it."

The Phoenix Force was much more troublesome than Banner. However, in the reversed timeline, the Dark Phoenix could already control her power, and it seemed unnecessary for him to intervene.

After arranging accommodation for the few people, he also took them to meet the new arrival, Leah.

"A little girl?"

Betty didn't have any special feelings, but Ada and Logan looked at Ethan strangely.

They had known Ethan longer and knew that he actually had a headache when it came to children and wasn't interested in them. Anyway, they had never heard that he wanted to have a child with Diana.

From some casual chats, they also knew that he himself didn't want children. It seemed he really didn't like children.

Why would someone who disliked children bring a child back?

"Did your taste change?"

"Leah's situation is special."

After telling them about Leah's general situation, they understood why Ethan brought this child back. It sounded quite tragic.

Compared to Ada, Logan understood Ethan's behavior more, after all, he was also rescued by Ethan because of the reason of being too tragic.

"So you want to change her future?"

"I like her, and I have the ability to do so, so is there anything wrong with doing this?"

"I think your approach is very correct."

A kind and well-behaved child became a tool for some people to carry out their schemes, and finally became a vessel for the demon king. It was even impossible to determine whether her own soul was still alive. Such an end was indeed too tragic.

If they knew about this situation, they wouldn't stand by and do nothing either.

But to be honest, Ethan was definitely the most suitable person to do this kind of thing, because he could solve the hidden dangers on Leah, teach her rich magic knowledge, make her a true strong person, and take her destiny into her own hands.

"Learning how to be a chess player, no matter how bad a chess player is, it's better than being a chess piece."

In the past, Ada wavered between being a chess player and a chess piece. She always tried hard to become a chess player, but reality was cruel, you couldn't do it just because you wanted to.

Meeting Ethan completely changed her life. Now she lived happily. The employment Ethan mentioned back then had no meaning now.

She believed that Leah's future would also be very good.

"Why are you suddenly having so many life insights?"

"Maybe the life I've been living recently has made me think of the past."

Ethan nodded. He didn't plan to continue this conversation. He wasn't very concerned about what Ada's life was like before. Anyway, if she wanted to talk, he would be happy to be a listener. If she didn't want to talk, he would just pretend these things didn't exist.

After introducing each other, Ethan returned to the teleportation room to get busy again. He wanted to solve the problem with the teleportation platform as soon as possible. He didn't like this kind of thing dragging on for half a year or a year.

However, before he could go into seclusion, Betty came looking for him again.

"Something's up."

"Well, I don't know how to say it?"

"Just say it directly. You know I don't really like beating around the bush and guessing."

Betty nodded, took a deep breath, and made her request, hoping Ethan could agree.

Her request was not a big deal, nor was it surprising. It could even be said to be human nature. Betty wanted to go home and see if her relatives were still alive.

"That's not a big deal. The question is, can you determine the exact location?"

"Probably... I think so?"

(To be continued.)
