Chapter 2610: Mayfly World (Part 14)

There were still quite a few mutants persecuted in this world, especially those Epsilon-level ones who had almost no beneficial abilities; they could even be called disabled.

Unfortunately, not every country was like China in issuing disability certificates to Epsilon-level mutants who truly had defects, nor was every Epsilon-level willing to accept people saying they were disabled. Most were just holding on, and the vast majority who couldn't hold on were wandering.

The situation of these people had already reached the bottom. Once they heard that there was a place in outer space that was a utopia and sanctuary for mutants, they immediately rekindled hope.

Long-term discrimination and persecution made them hate everything on Earth, believing that their current situation was entirely due to discrimination by ordinary people. As long as they could get to a place full of mutants, they would definitely be able to gain a new life.

Holding such thoughts, they boarded the immigrant spaceship. Unfortunately, what they waited for was not a lush, paradise-like utopia, but a piece of land waiting to be rebuilt.

The empty island Magneto first took down, after construction, already had a bit of a look, but the empty island was too small. This place was originally just a down payment, not a planet used for production and construction. Once repaired, it could only be placed there to look at, and no large-scale projects could be carried out.

Now mutants were mainly engaged in production and construction on two nearby planets and one dwarf planet. The natural conditions of the Andromeda Galaxy were not bad. Although the star in front exploded, Magneto dragged another one over, and he also moved the planet to a position similar to Earth. After careful repair and cultivation, these three planets could basically support humans to survive without life-support devices.

The only problem was that it was too desolate here. One of the primitive planets had some plants, but they were also the most primitive algae. The other two were completely big dirt balls, and one was placed slightly further away because there was no position in the Earth-like orbit. The temperature was around minus 20 degrees all year round. It was not that they couldn't live, just that it was relatively cold.

Fortunately, these two planets were big enough. Although primitive, the various landform conditions were not much different from ancient Earth, and they could develop human-like civilizations. The number of mutants themselves was not particularly large, so these three planets could be said to be more than enough.

Before, when there were few people, some supplies were needed to maintain the operation of the team, but Magneto's way of obtaining supplies could not be said to be diligent and down-to-earth; it could also be said to be a strong competitor for the Interstellar Pirate King.

To summarize, it was one word: rob.

The Andromeda Galaxy was not particularly prosperous, but after all, there were prosperous star sectors, with countless cargo ships coming and going, many of which carried resources that carbon-based organisms could use.

Mutants couldn't directly start robbing because Magneto had an agreement with Nick. They were the vanguard of humanity, so naturally, they couldn't destroy the reputation of human civilization. But the good thing was that Magneto was the son of the universe by nature. He had plenty of ways to turn robbery into accidents.

It might be that the spaceship was not well maintained, and a few metal parts had problems, leading to the destruction of the ship and the death of the people. It might be that a black hole suddenly changed a little, and the nature of the gravitational range became a little larger, leading to the ship losing control and crashing. It might even be that a planet disintegrated and exploded, just happening to hit another one, and then seven or eight planets hit the cargo ship like playing billiards.

The universe is vast and boundless. For the vast majority of civilizations, this is an eternal and unsolvable mystery. Even the most advanced three major empires dare not say that they have completely cracked the mysteries of the universe, so various spaceship accidents are very normal.

For a long time, Magneto used this method to add bricks and tiles to the construction of the Andromeda Galaxy, occasionally cooperating with Asgard to help Asgard eliminate some annoying ghosts in the economic society, thereby harvesting some rewards.

Unfortunately, aliens are not stupid. If traffic accidents happen on a road all year round, wouldn't people put a warning mark on the map?

Human network technology had only started for a few years and could connect thousands of households. The vast majority of advanced civilizations in the universe used the network with superb skill. Many people were connected to the interstellar network with their brains, querying various materials at any time.

Cargo ships had even more perfect interstellar map systems. As long as an accident had occurred in a certain place, they had ways to bypass it. At worst, they would jump a few more portals. If they really didn't mind the trouble, they could also jump to other dimensions, calculate the coordinates, and then jump back.

Over time, Magneto couldn't start. After all, faking an accident required some timing, location, and people. Hard work wouldn't work. Many excellent places he had chosen to start before were blacklisted, and a few other places barely managed to start but almost failed. It took a lot of effort to get not much stuff.

At this time, Magneto and Professor X finally realized that infrastructure construction was not done this way.

But it was not surprising. One was Jewish and one was Anglo-Saxon. If you counted back eighteen generations of ancestors, you couldn't find a person who knew how to farm. Their understanding of the basic way of civilization development was also one word: rob. It would be strange if they could react.

When the first batch of mutants migrated over, they realized that they couldn't rely on a group of people going out to rob to support another group of people. If they kept doing this, they would be finished sooner or later. Food still had to be grown by themselves.

As a result, because the vast majority of mutants with talent in farming had long gone to China to live, they couldn't find a few after searching, so they could only adopt traditional methods of planting.

But the fact was that the difficulty of transforming wild land and the energy required were outrageously large. Even if the land on those planets was transformed for another ten years, the yield would not be good.

But the harsh words of the mutant utopia had already been released, the publicity had been put out, and countless mutants were looking forward to it. If they were told now that it would take at least 20 years to be full, this matter would be completely smashed in their hands.

And that group of Epsilon-level ones didn't want to work at all. People imagined a good life where they could lie down every day without doing anything, not coming here to be coolies. Even if Magneto could get them modern equipment, they wouldn't want to engage in any infrastructure construction in the wind and snow.

After thinking for a long time without a way, Magneto and Professor X finally decided to return to Earth. At least get a batch of food from Earth first, and then plan slowly.

The news that mutants wanted to buy food soon spread to all countries, but mutants themselves had no money. They pushed the price too low, and almost no country was willing to sell.

Then they thought of another way, which was to lease land for planting, and the harvested food was all their own.

Originally, they looked at Africa. There were indeed many large plots of land that were good, and they were far away from prosperous human society, so they didn't have to listen to those politicians' nagging.

But Africa was not enterprising. People didn't want to change the structure of the small-scale peasant economy at all. Farmers still had to rely on that little bit of land to eat, so it was impossible to lease it to mutants. Wakanda also didn't let mutants enter their territory at all, which was regarded by Black Panther as a serious provocation.

Professor X was also unwilling to offend Wakanda. After choosing and choosing, they really found a good place, which was Mexico.

The United States was determined to transform Mexico, completely building this place into its backyard. The newly laid industrial chain provided countless jobs. Many farmers abandoned their land and began to go to the city to work.

Most of those left in their hometowns were old people who had no ability and were unwilling to farm such a large piece of land. Many lands were abandoned, and mutants came just in time.

Unfortunately, the Mexican government didn't welcome them very much. The reputation of mutants had always been bad, and the ones who came were the notorious Brotherhood. Who knew if these people would explode while farming?

Magneto was currently worried about this matter. Logically speaking, this kind of Earth logistics work should be handed over to Professor X. His reputation was good, and negotiation with the government was easier, but unfortunately, he was an American.

Professor X could indeed handle the Mexican government, but he couldn't handle the Mexicans. The hatred of the bottom-level Mexican people for Americans was even higher than for mutants, and they had the same attitude toward the students of the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters.

Instead, they had some good feelings for Magneto, who carried out terrorist attacks in the United States, feeling that Magneto and they were fellow sufferers, so this matter still had to be handled by Magneto.

Magneto was not completely unable to negotiate, but he really couldn't stand the snake-like dealings with those politicians. The previous three negotiations all ended in failure. If they waited any longer, they would miss the first harvest season.

So Magneto saw Schiller as if he saw a savior. He was even willing to stop holding that old face. Considering his original style of doing things, this could already be called amiable.

Schiller didn't agree immediately. Although he felt that helping mutants at this time was not a bad thing, he didn't think Magneto could really do this.

"The reason is naturally very simple," Schiller asked, "Erik, I have completely understood the situation you said..."

Magneto looked at him with expectant eyes.

"I have only one question now."

"You ask."

"Can you farm?"

It was a good question, which immediately stumped Magneto. After thinking about it, he said, "Just dig up the soil, bury the seeds, and water them and wait for them to grow, right?"

"If the person who said this was Peter, I would think he played too many video games," Schiller shook his head helplessly and said, "How can it be that simple? Do you understand the soil conditions in Mexico? Do you understand the rain and heat conditions in Jalisco? Do you know what the good seeds in the mouths of people here are?"

"How big a piece of land do you plan to have? How many modern agricultural machines will you use? How many farmers will you hire? Do you want to do agricultural product processing and animal husbandry? How much natural risk can you bear? What are the types of crops needed? What are their priorities?"

Magneto's head was big. He said, "Can't I hire a professional agricultural manager?"

"Of course you can, but many things still need you to make judgments. It is you who are going to reclaim land in the Andromeda Galaxy, not him. What does he know about interstellar reclamation?"

Schiller spread his hands and said, "Look, you can't always rely on food from Earth. You always have to plant on your own planet. So why not take this opportunity to cultivate seeds that can grow smoothly on outer planets and have sufficient yield? This is not something an agricultural manager can solve. You may need a whole scientific research team."

"Is there really such a team in the world?" Magneto was rarely very confused. He said, "This is too absurd. Will anyone really specialize in how to farm on outer planets?"

"Don't say that, there really is." ===== CHAPTER 2611 =====
