Chapter 2014: Lighting the Strange Dream in the Heart (Part 44)

~10 min read 1,955 words

Schiller wanted to play this project a few more times, not entirely because it was interesting, but because that venue really had the possibility of hiding a statue, especially inside that sun.

However, he went in a few more times, and while no one was paying attention, he checked the various facilities in the field with gray mist. He didn't find the shadow of the statue, so he determined that the statue of Walt Disney shouldn't be in this pavilion.

After leaving, Schiller went to the World Expo pavilion again, and coincidentally Loki was there too. He and Thanos were visiting the museum. Schiller wanted to play the roller coaster next to it and ran into them.

After a few pleasantries, Loki took the initiative to say: "I didn't expect humans to walk in front of us again. Thanos and I are thinking about how to build a museum belonging to the Nine Realms for cultural propaganda."

"Does this give you any inspiration?" Schiller looked left and right and asked.

"Of course." Loki nodded and replied: "Most of Asgard's museums and libraries just put war trophies there for people to see, but human propaganda forms are undoubtedly more diverse. Perhaps this is also one of the benefits of your multi-state system."

"Every country is desperately promoting its own advantages, not only history and culture, but also the benefits that its own development can bring to human civilization. I just came from over there, I think you can go and see."

Loki pointed behind him. Schiller looked over in the direction Loki pointed and found that there were several large halls over there, which looked like they were all set up by major powers.

This place was actually a miniature version of the World Expo, and each country brought a small exhibition hall and a small project. Schiller walked in the direction Loki pointed and found that this side was the exhibition hall of the five permanent members of the UN.

And what was even more coincidental was that the US pavilion was opposite the Chinese pavilion. These two countries' pavilions were also the ones with the largest area in this park, which had a bit of a rivalry.

Schiller visited the Chinese pavilion, but the focus of the exhibition in this park was not history and culture, but still centered on the Solar System Development Plan to show the contributions made by various countries to this plan.

In the exhibition, Schiller learned that the Solar System-Pluto starport currently under construction had 80% of its order-taking manufacturers from China, basically all units starting with "State".

As mentioned above, since the start of construction seven months ago, the basic part of the starport had been basically completed. In the group photo, Schiller saw the figures of several acquaintances from the S. W. O. R. D.

And as expected, there was a section specifically introducing the contributions made by mutants in this construction. The photos were mostly of various mutants wearing uniforms working on the front line. Schiller specifically took a photo with his phone, ready to send it to Professor X.

Soon he waited for Professor X's reply, which was written in a gentle and wise tone as always.

"We all know that the confrontation has to end one day. For the arrival of this day, some people choose to leave, and some people choose to stay, just like when Eric and I made different choices at the beginning."

"Do you intend to choose to leave?" Schiller typed and asked him.

"I didn't choose to leave, I just chose Eric, once again." Professor X replied.

Walking out of this exhibition hall, Schiller went to the opposite door. The US exhibition hall was as flashy as ever, mostly showing some magical new materials, which could arouse people's interest and make people feel that this was unique and unparalleled.

The propaganda of the American spirit mainly mentioned that from the first moon landing to the first touch of the sun, they were always at the forefront.

The caption under one of the photos of Apollo made Schiller feel a little different. It was written on it.

"We don't want to stand on the shoulders of giants, we want to hold the giants toward the sun."

Following that were the exhibition halls of Britain, France, and Russia. Among them, the exhibition halls of Britain, France, and other European countries were basically talking about one thing, that is, the long-term progress made by the EU in space exploration.

But there was no way, after all, the size of European countries was small, and the aviation field was the most testing of a country's complete industrial production system. Small land area and insufficient resources were not conducive to industrial development. Only by uniting could they have something to see.

This forced countries like Britain to have less talk about leaving the EU than before. Everyone united to grab the cake from the few big guys next to them, and they couldn't grab it. If they withdrew, they really didn't need to eat even the dregs.

The Russian pavilion was the most interesting. They made miniature equipment models with ice sculptures. This was actually the most significant scientific research achievement they had recently obtained, low-temperature constant temperature technology.

Although it sounded like a selling point for some refrigerators, Schiller walked closer and found that this technology was a bit like Victor's dense ice. The ice sculptures of these equipment placed by Russia in the pavilion were not only carved very finely, almost indistinguishable from ice cubes, but also almost felt no cold.

Schiller almost put his hand on it before feeling a little low temperature. This proved that the level of heat exchange of this kind of ice cube was extremely low, and it could already be called a new type of room-temperature material.

Then there was a part of the results display of scientific research relying on archaeology, such as Russia currently having a team specifically studying mathematical rates. The most outrageous thing was that they actually touched the possibility of the existence of rule-based creatures in the universe through calculation.

This was not imagining or fabricating out of thin air. They had an extremely complete reasoning process. Schiller looked at it carefully and let the gray mist look at it again, finding that fast in ten years and slow in thirty years, the existence of the five great gods would basically not be hidden.

Then there was the Nordic Joint Exhibition Hall. The Nordic countries didn't pretend at all. These countries themselves had no contradictions, and now there was vaguely the shadow of the first true joint polity on Earth. In many aspects, the cooperation could no longer be said to be comprehensive cooperation, more like a preparatory action for direct merger.

Most of the achievements they made were also in the precision instrument part, especially the precision calculation of space transportation road networks and the deduction of future transportation lines in the solar system.

Then he walked through some exhibition halls of small countries. Most of them were focused on showing exchange and cooperation activities with other countries, showing a good attitude.

After walking around, Schiller was satisfied and planned to find a place to eat. Just as he sat down in the restaurant, he saw Bruce and his group walk over.

Their itinerary today was also Epcot. It seemed they had just arrived here and planned to visit the World Expo.

So Schiller watched Bruce's expression while eating, from disbelief, to shock, to confusion, to numbness.

Schiller dared to be sure that he had confirmed at least ten times with Clark whether he was dreaming, and Diana had confirmed at least twenty times.

For them, the most unbelievable thing was not the degree of development of human technology on this Earth. After all, if you give a monkey a typewriter, it will eventually type out Shakespeare one day. It was not strange that there were a few more Earths with developed technology in the universe.

What shocked them most was that the countries on this Earth had actually united.

You might as well let them believe that monkeys could type out Shakespeare.

Before, Bruce had only vaguely heard of it, but he had never had a real sense of it, or rather, he was unwilling to believe it from the bottom of his heart.

Diana didn't believe it even more. She was a long-lived species who had experienced World War I and World War II and had a full understanding of humans' ability to hurt their own kind. Expecting humans to unite was not as good as expecting monkeys to type out Shakespeare.

As for Clark, he thought it was a matter of course. After all, the monkeys on Krypton could really type out Shakespeare.

After eating, Schiller went to the former Epcot to turn around and found that there were many amusement projects here, but the novelty brought was far less than the three areas built later.

Just as Schiller was about to leave the park, a shiny gold-red mecha landed in front of him. Stark opened the face mask and said: "I monitored a strange signal under the shuttle station, I suspect it might be related to the statue, do you want to go and see?"

So the two went to the shuttle station together. Loki was also there. The three considered that the previous two statues were lit up only after completing tasks, so they began to look for clues in the shuttle station.

After a while, Stark called the other two over and said: "The signal I monitored has changed, but it's not clear for the time being whether it is a good change. Perhaps we should wait a little longer."

Waiting until it was almost dark, the few people finally figured out the doorway. Stark discovered that every time a child felt amazed in the shuttle carriage, the signal from the ground would undergo subtle changes.

He didn't know how this monitoring of emotions was achieved, but anyway, everything in this amusement park didn't make sense, and it wasn't bad to have one more.

So Iron Man began his shuttle popular science tour and became the most dedicated staff member in the entire shuttle station.

He used children's longing for mecha to popularize various shuttle knowledge for them, rendered enough atmosphere before the shuttle took off, and then harvested the most amazement at the moment of takeoff.

Until the shuttle came and went for forty times, the signal finally reached the peak and stopped changing. Loki keenly discovered that a certain place on the bottom floor began to flash.

Stark was exhausted. While flying down with the other two, he said: "I really can't believe it. A few days ago I was still discussing having children with Pepper. This is a group of demons, they should call Mephisto dad!"

This was the maintenance room of the shuttle station. After finding the abnormal floor, in order not to damage the equipment, Schiller turned into mist and flew down, finally bringing out a statue of Walt Disney emitting a faint light.

"So now there is only the last one left. Where do you think it will be?"

Loki thought about it and said: "Animal Kingdom might be the most difficult one. What if it wants us to make a hundred animals happy, what should we do?"

"My god, spare me." Stark hung his hands and complained: "Do you want me to coax a giraffe?"

Schiller suddenly remembered something, he turned his head and asked: "I heard tourists say that the Avatar area of the Animal Kingdom park has been delayed in completion, what is going on?" ===== CHAPTER 2015 =====
