Chapter 2613: Star Core Rescue (Part 2)

~12 min read 2,351 words

Just as several people were working together to find the flaws of this mysterious mastermind, news came from Nick—the Star Core space station had some problems.

The cause of the problem was very complicated, and it could be said to be a series of coincidences, but happening at this time node, how could these old foxes not know that this must be some people's trick to divert attention.

So the Light Alliance gathered again, but this time obviously something was different. For example, Nick looked at Schiller, his nose was not a nose, his eyes were not eyes, and the only remaining eye was almost rolled to the sky.

Loki's expression looking at Schiller was a bit complicated, because Asgard had a Valhalla, so he often went to the Heaven Joint Office to flip through the list.

The life and death of the vast majority of races were recorded in the books. Except for Death, there were also grassroots agencies in various places that could view the specific causes of death of certain people, and Loki saw the same name behind the causes of death in a series of shocking death lists.

Now Loki understood a bit what Schiller meant by saying they underestimated its danger.

The conversation soon entered the main topic. When Nick put the problem and cause of the Star Core space station, everyone was a bit speechless.

The matter was roughly like this.

The Star Core space station belonged to "made by all nations," which is to say its technology and manufacturing did not come from one country. Manufacturing was okay to say, generally speaking, it was completed in East Asia, but the technology was varied. Basically, every continent had countries participating.

Leading were the four countries of China, the US, Russia, and Wakanda. The technology for the main part of the space station was China, the US, and Russia, and Wakanda was mainly responsible for the design and construction of small transport planes entering and exiting the space station.

Then there were some small countries responsible for the improvement of living comfort, as well as the research, development, and production of some space scientific research project parts. For example, some countries in Northern Europe joined together to make oxygen internal circulation systems and smart home systems, while Australia was responsible for developing culture dishes for space plant experiments.

When the plan was just set, everyone was relatively satisfied. Big countries felt that this could well reflect their technological strength and prepare for the next step of technological accumulation. Small countries felt that with big brothers leading, they didn't have to bear such great responsibility, making some simple and easy edge materials, and could also catch the fast train of history. The two sides basically hit it off.

But there was one exception among them, and that was India.

You say India is a small country, India certainly won't accept it, because no matter from the land area or the number of population, it's not India's turn to be counted as a small country. Even a tiny place like Wakanda had to strive for the upper reaches and sneak into the big countries to fight for the title of technical backbone. How could India give up?

But then again, people have family backgrounds that can be taken out in China, the US, and Russia. Every technology taken out is not to say that it shocks the world, at least it is loud, has a face, and is not shameful to take out.

But what does India have?

In terms of technology, India has not much, but in terms of self-confidence, India is absolutely far ahead. I don't know why, but it just feels that as long as you give me the opportunity to build this thing, I will definitely be able to build it.

This led to their thinking being consistent, that is, regardless of whether I have the technology to build this thing, if you don't give me the opportunity to build, that is your fault, and we will definitely make trouble.

People wanted to give him a chance. When asked what technology and industrial standards he had, India couldn't say it, but anyway, you have to give it to me. If you don't give it to me, you look down on me, and you are bullying people together.

Facing this kind of rascal, other countries were also very helpless. You say you want to give him a build, in fact, everyone knows clearly that India has no core technology at all. This is also fine, but if their attitude of working is serious, it is not impossible to build some edge materials like other small countries.

At worst, get some shield shells or something that sounds good, but actually has no technical content for them to build.

But the problem is, even if it is to build these edge materials, they can't handle it. During the explosion of space exploration, more than 80% of traffic accidents that appeared in the near-Earth field were related to aerospace aircraft made in India. Once, it almost shot down Reed's near-Earth research station, and Reed, who was furious, almost opened a void wormhole in the capital of India.

With this kind of precedent, who would dare to hand over anything for him to build?

But India is the kind of typical country that would rather play with its mouth to the extreme than improve its core competitiveness. It just doesn't care whether it has technology or not, it just wants to rely on diplomatic means to get the qualification to build core components, so as to boast that its national strength is strong and add bricks and tiles to the wish of entering the United Nations.

The Indian government began to use all kinds of strange tricks to lobby various governments, launching public opinion offensives on the Internet, claiming that the United Nations wanted to abandon India on Earth and monopolize space resources, which was an act close to genocide, and India would not accept it.

To be honest, his offensives had no use for other countries, but he couldn't stand being too annoying, and after all, people had so many populations, so it was not very good not to bring him at all.

The five permanent members of the United Nations thought about it. There were so many parts of the space station, so they could always find a system that was both good to build and had no influence if it broke, and most importantly, it basically had no processing parts to throw to India to build.

Finally, it was decided that the decorative tapestry hanging in the dormitory would be completed by Indian artisans.

Of course, it was inevitable to fool India. In general, it was to reflect national characteristics, to conform to the color matching of positive hints in psychology, and a bunch of messy requirements. Although no one expected him to achieve it, he had to say that this work was difficult and important.

India also lived up to expectations. It was only after the space station had been officially running for two months that the tapestry was sent up, and it caused allergies in at least six space station staff members within less than a week of being sent up.

At first, everyone didn't know it was caused by this tapestry, because there were tens of thousands of employees on the space station, and it was too normal for someone to get sick at the same time. And when it comes to allergies, everyone often feels that something was eaten wrong, so the cafeteria was checked first, not the dormitory, so this culprit had not been caught.

But soon, many people had allergies one after another, and the symptoms of allergies were almost the same. All of them had red rashes on their skin, which were painful and itchy, and they always sneezed, coughed, and had a runny nose. Only then did someone realize that it might be caused by dust in the air.

But at this time, the one suspected was not the decoration in the dormitory, but the air circulation system manufactured by several small countries. Those countries checked and checked, and didn't find any problems. Finally, they changed the filter element and filter screen, updated the supplied oxygen, and it passed.

After all, no one could imagine that a small decoration of less than two square meters could have such great lethality, which led to the fact that it was already late when the large-scale allergy problem broke out.

About three days ago, the number of sick people had spread to hundreds, triggering a health detection warning. China, the US, and Russia sat together overnight to study what was going on.

They were mainly worried about infectious diseases. After all, although it was in the near-Earth field, occasionally aliens visited. It would be terrible if they really brought some infectious disease that could exterminate humanity.

Because of this, they didn't dare to move the patients back to Earth, only dared to send doctors up. Several countries gritted their teeth and sent a few doctors, and fortunately, the final result found that it was just an allergy.

After several checks, the culprit was finally found. After investigation, it was found that the factory next to the processing factory of a batch of blankets was an asbestos chemical plant, which led to some invisible fiber materials being woven into the blankets, eventually triggering a severe allergic reaction.

Knowing that it was caused by India, everyone was not surprised. It was also too lazy to talk about him. They simply moved the patients back and sent new people up.

Peter's uncle, Ben Parker, was also among the allergic personnel. He was the general person in charge of the power inspection department in the power area. Because he was old, the allergy symptoms were relatively severe, and he was moved back to Earth for treatment for the first time. Peter also had to go to accompany the bed.

Once the general person in charge left, a suitable successor was not found for a while, so the deputy chief engineer acted as an agent.

As a result, because the handover was not complete and his own ability was not very good, he made a big mess as soon as he took over. Two rooms in the power area lost power, and it hasn't been restored yet, which led to the Light Alliance sitting together to discuss what to do now.

Of course, it's not that this problem cannot be solved. They are discussing what attitude they should take. It is mainly that Nick firmly forbids this group of super humans from intervening, always adhering to what he said to Strange that ordinary people should always learn to walk one day.

"I think so," Nick first put forward his point of view, "I know this is very likely to trigger a series of chain reactions, and may even lead to some dangers. The emergency measures of ordinary people can be everything, but it cannot be superheroes. Does anyone agree with my point of view?"

"I know you don't like super-powered people to be nannies for ordinary people," Professor X was very reasonable. He said, "The disadvantages of this are obvious. The universe is so vast. When we really enter the era of interstellar colonization, the large base of ordinary people scattered in the universe is nothing, and superheroes are even less able to take care of them. At that time, they can't call us back with a phone to help them deal with the mess, right?"

His implication was that he relatively agreed with Nick, feeling that ordinary people must practice a set of emergency measures that can be taken out at any time, rather than calling superheroes as soon as there is a problem. What if there is any time they didn't rush back in time? Would they be wiped out like this?

Although with superheroes, they won't encounter any major disasters, but this matter is actually hard to say. The world is full of coincidences, and I don't know how many civilizations in the interstellar universe have been directly exterminated because of inexplicable coincidences.

They don't have to rely on themselves, but at least they must make themselves reliable.

"What's the matter with this," Stark didn't care, waved his hand and said, "My robot army is enough to stare at every corner, even hundreds of galaxies are not a problem. What trouble can they not solve?"

"You just intend to fix their future like this? A group of poor little things living under the surveillance of robots?" Nick retorted.

"You just watch too many movies. Robots can only provide assistance, just to ensure their safety."

"Then they will never be able to leave robots again," Strange was also helping. In fact, he didn't agree with Nick's view, but as long as he could refute Stark, it would be fine.

Soon several people quarreled. It was mainly Stark fighting against the crowd. He didn't feel that it was bad for ordinary people to carry out emergency drills. It was mainly Nick's attitude that made it seem like he couldn't help ordinary people, only letting them move forward cautiously and shivering.

Finally, Schiller made the final decision. Emergency drills must be practiced, but after all, it is the first time, so superheroes must watch from behind to prevent fake from becoming real and really causing any accidents.

And the strongest backup guarantee is naturally Stark. He can let robots mount on the space station without anyone knowing. Once there is any problem, he can directly become a backup hidden energy source and save the humans inside.

And in order to make ordinary people realize the importance of emergency drills, small troubles like allergies and power accidents are useless. There must be disasters like "space station falling" to make them have a sense of crisis.

Both sides got satisfactory results and stood up to go to work. And just then, Nick called Schiller. ===== CHAPTER 2614 =====
