Chapter 332: S:Glorious Big Event (XII)
"Hello? Mr. Stark? The plan is going smoothly. We've already sneaked in. This spaceship is huge, so there are many areas without people. It seems that their surveillance devices can't detect our invisibility stance. We are heading towards their engine."
"We've arrived. Oh my, something is definitely wrong here. I can tell without even going in... What is this? Residual energy?"
Accompanied by Peter's amazed voice, Stark could also tell that the Kree spaceship was probably in bad shape. Blue Spirit's voice came from a distance, "Their engine seems to be disrupted by an unknown force, causing energy pulses to explode during transmission. Since it's an internal explosion, the external damage doesn't look severe, but in reality, it's completely incapable of making a jump."
Peter heard Schiller's voice on the telephone, "Which direction is their spaceship heading now? Is it towards the Stars?"
"How did you know?" Peter asked, a little surprised. Before Schiller could answer, Blue Spirit spoke first, "They will definitely head towards the Stars because they need a large amount of energy to repair the engine, and the easiest place to extract energy is from the Stars in this star system."
"Can we obtain data on the Stars?"
"I need to check my genetic catalog. Let me see... This place is too remote, and the records are too scarce. However, what I can confirm is that the Stars here are a giant one and are nearing their old age."
"Alright, thank you. Let me explain the next part of the plan."
"First, I hope you can create some commotion in a location far from the Stars to attract the Kree fleet's frigates. We don't need too many, ten should be enough, preferably of different types."
"Attract the frigates? Okay, and then what?" Peter asked.
"We will send someone to detonate the Stars."
Schiller's tone was calm, but the others in the room were frozen. Strange said, "Are you crazy?! You want to detonate a sun???"
"I said, if we can't deal with the problem, if the yield of a nuclear bomb is not enough to deal with the Kree star warship, then the yield of a sun should be sufficient, right?"
"But..." Nick rubbed his forehead, as if making a prayer gesture, and asked, "Okay, let's not even talk about how insane this idea is... How do we detonate the Stars?"
"We can't do it ourselves, but someone can."
"Who?"
"Mutant."
Xavier's genius mutant school was a boarding school housed in an English manor. In the 1960s, it was located in the UK but moved to the US in the 21st century, still retaining a strong British atmosphere.
The residential density here was low, with pleasant scenery, but it was quite remote and far from modern society.
Today, outside the castle-like door of the school, an unexpected group of visitors arrived.
With a black cape fluttering in the wind, a pair of black boots touched the ground, raising small dust particles. A pair of hands held the helmet, and an aged face appeared beneath it, with cold and profound eyes...
Charles sat in a wheelchair and pushed open the school's door. He squinted and said, "Long time no see, Magneto."
Stark's genius brain started to rapidly spin. In the end, he said, "No, I think it's more reliable to build the base within the solar system."
"Which planet do you have in mind?"
"Mercury." Stark answered without hesitation.
"Why? Mercury is closest to the sun and not suitable for habitation."
"We're not colonizing, we're not establishing humanity's second home there. We're building a production and experimental facility. Habitability is the least important condition."
"I'm not moving there to live, so what does it matter to me whether it's habitable or not? As long as Earth is habitable, that's all that matters," he said.
Schiller nodded, thinking that he had a point. Then Stark said, "I didn't mention it earlier when Nick was here, but I've already developed a prototype for extracting solar energy from the system. Although it's not perfected yet, the extraction efficiency is low and the conversion rate is not high, but I'm confident that I can gradually improve it within a year or even a few months..."
Schiller raised his eyebrows, surprised at how quickly Stark had progressed. But then again, it was normal. He had already stood at the highest level of the universe and looked down, so what was there that he didn't understand?
People like Stark, as long as they have a clear idea, their intelligence is boundless.
"So, you want to choose Mercury because it's closest to the sun?"
"Correct, and it seems like your astronomy knowledge isn't that great. Mercury may not be habitable, but don't you know that the North and South Poles of Mercury have always been a popular choice for immigration within the solar system?"
"Mercury has a large temperature difference between day and night, but the temperature at the North and South Poles is very constant, about minus 200 degrees, and the special inclination angle and geographical environment can overcome the problem of rapid heat loss."
"To put it this way, with my current technology, as long as the raw materials are sufficient, it is not difficult to build a colony that can accommodate tens of thousands of people in the circular mountainous area of the North and South Poles on Mercury," Stark said casually.
"In addition, Mercury's global magnetic field is also a good condition. Today, Loki's description of the star warship gave me a new idea. Perhaps we can completely transform Mercury. Even if we can't turn it into a battleship, it can still serve as the closest energy supply base to the sun."
"Once the planet's structure is completely redone, taking advantage of its high speed rotation and global magnetic field, it may be possible to transform it into an extremely efficient energy core."
"And Venus, which is second closest to the sun, can be used as a factory and production base, then linked with Mars to create habitable colonies. Jupiter and Saturn can be used as resource bases, while Neptune and Pluto, which are further away, can serve as docking ports for future universe battleships and solar system starports..."
Stark spoke quickly, clearly having had this idea for a while. He continued, "Originally, I was planning to wait until I had deeper contact with Asgard and KarmaTaj before finding a chance to persuade Nick to cooperate with me on solar energy experiments on Mercury."
"I just didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon."
"Or is it..." Stark looked up at Schiller, his tone affirmative.
"...all part of your plan?"
