The subsequent farming process went quite smoothly. After the seeds were buried, they sprouted quickly. The Star Lord, invited by Shiler, brought two more rains. Clark and Magneto fertilized the land at an appropriate time, and the corn seedlings changed day by day.

Besides corn, they also planted wheat, but because the season was wrong, they didn't hold much hope.

The remaining relatively important task was to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables. After all, mutants also need Vitamin C and fiber; vegetables are indispensable.

Actually, given Mexico's climatic conditions, it is entirely possible to grow vegetables in the open air, but the Andromeda Galaxy is not. The planet Magneto chose had a slightly low temperature, and the vegetables were exceptionally delicate and fragile. In the end, a greenhouse had to be built, and Magneto could take this opportunity to learn how to build a warm shed.

Building a large warm shed is relatively troublesome. Clark picked a piece of land, and the locals helped find a construction company. But due to climatic reasons, few people here build such things. Many mistakes were made at the beginning, and Clark stayed up late watching over it.

After observing for a period of time, Magneto felt that he might as well use magnetic force to directly transform the ecological environment of the entire planet; this kind of thing was simply too troublesome.

Then Clark learned that Magneto's control over magnetic force far exceeded his imagination. Since he could use magnetic force to directly transform the environment, why not?

But Magneto also had his own concerns. Transforming the environment is not something that can be achieved overnight. If the magnetic field of a planet is forcibly changed, it will trigger a series of chain reactions, and in severe cases, it may even lead to the disintegration of the planet. Planets with suitable locations and sizes are not abundant to begin with, and it would be too wasteful to ruin a few more.

Another thing is that if Magneto controls the planet's magnetic field, he can indeed ensure that the environment is very suitable for the survival of plants, but it is not very suitable for human needs. The planet might become less habitable, and then there would be even fewer people farming. After all, he couldn't farm there for a lifetime.

Clark understood Magneto's concerns, but he felt that since he had such a powerful ability, it was a bit of a waste to farm like an ordinary person. How could mutant powers be transformed into basic construction capabilities? Are there no successful examples to refer to?

At this time, Clark thought of the distant Eastern country Shiler had told him about before. He once again exerted his ability as a reporter and began to search the internet for various news about Chinese mutants.

He discovered that foreign news was basically all smears and slanders. Clark taught himself how to bypass the firewall. Of course, it was also because it was relatively simple for him to bypass the firewall; he could physically bypass it.

As long as he wanted to access the Chinese intranet, he would fly to the border between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, connect to the public network of the business district there, and then he could browse information on the Chinese intranet smoothly and freely.

Clark stayed in Shenzhen for most of the day, found a pile of materials, recorded them all on his phone, and took them back for Magneto to see.

The two studied these news reports for a long time before they realized that in this country, mutant abilities were divided in great detail. Every type was applicable to which link of which job, and there was already very mature experience.

Take magnetic force, for example. There are also some mutants in China who can control magnetic force, but none are as strong as Magneto. Most of them can only control a part of magnetic force, such as strong or weak magnetism, or simply act as a large magnet to control metal.

A powerhouse like Magneto, who has completed the unified field theory and can shape a pocket universe, is far stronger than these mutants with magnetic abilities. However, these mutants, who seem weak in Magneto's eyes, frequently appear in various commendation news.

So far, the vast majority of mutants with magnetic abilities are serving the military. One piece of news was to commend a research team led by someone for making outstanding contributions to the electromagnetic technology of aircraft carriers.

In addition, there are some weaker ones, such as those who can only sense magnetic force or convert positive and negative poles—mutants who wouldn't even count as mutants in Magneto's eyes—who mostly work in the maglev train industry, bridge construction industry, and other magnetic and electrical industries.

This led Magneto to find Polaris less and less pleasing to the eye in the following days. I have been busy for most of my life, and now I am leading mutants, building the Andromeda Galaxy, and having to look after Earth. What are you doing, having inherited most of my abilities?

He was a bit wronging Polaris here. Polaris had indeed done some proper things recently. Since Magneto ran back, Polaris had to keep an eye on the Andromeda Galaxy, ensuring that every planet operated as usual. In addition, she had to occasionally go out to loot, after all, supplies were tight, and in special times, the old trade could not be lost.

This was a huge improvement compared to her past, finally changing from a street-roaming teenager to a normal adult, but it was still too far from the role models reported in these newspapers.

The more Magneto thought about it, the angrier he got. Two small orbiting islands were built around the capital planet Sky Island before. Because the distance was not far and the orbital operation was stable, Magneto wanted to build a few bridges between these islands, but he had been very busy and didn't think of it.

He remembered that he had entrusted this matter to Polaris to do. Two years had passed, and the bridge didn't know where it was yet. Look at this news report again: a mutant who is so weak led two or three hundred ordinary people to build a large bridge in three months. What kind of work efficiency is this?

In the past, Magneto always felt that Polaris might have been malnourished in the womb, and later was frightened, so her own ability was weak and not well controlled, so she was always swaying around without any proper business. Magneto didn't care; anyway, they were all long-lived, so take it slow.

Now looking at it, Polaris is not only not weak, but among all magnetic ability users, she is already second to none. Two years and can't build a few bridges—is this an ability problem? This is an attitude problem!

As a result, Polaris was scolded by Magneto, and the next day she was driven back to the Andromeda Galaxy. Magneto said that if he didn't see those two bridges before he went back, the two of them would just roll to Centaurus and not come back.

The more he read these reports, the more Magneto realized that the ability levels of mutants in this world might be slightly different from what he imagined.

But this couldn't be blamed on him. After all, he was born the strongest mutant, his soulmate and friend was another strongest mutant, and their children, students, and friends were all outrageously powerful.

But so many powerhouses gathered together and didn't achieve any career, which made them feel that it was all because of the discrimination and interference of ordinary people, so they achieved nothing and spent too much time on self-pity.

But as long as you look down, you will find that there are too many mutants who are much weaker than them. Because of the editorial department outside the fourth wall, basically, except for these strongest mutants and their relatives and friends, basically all mutants who serve as background boards do not have any powerful abilities. These weaklings represent the majority of mutants.

Perhaps it is precisely because they are weak, and even self-preservation and eating are problems, so they don't have so much energy to complain. Most of them are trying hard to live. Coupled with the relatively good environment of a certain country, there are indeed many who have made a name for themselves.

It is said that goods are compared to be thrown away, and people are compared to die. Such a comparison makes this group of powerful mutants look particularly incompetent and pretentious.

Of course, the two who hold the right to speak will not admit that they are such people, especially Magneto, who will never admit it. He will only find the few street-roaming teenagers around him less and less pleasing to the eye.

The last time Clark went to physically bypass the firewall, the time was a bit short, and he didn't have time to search for information more deeply. This time, he went for a longer time, stayed over Shenzhen for almost a whole day, and found all the information about agriculture he could find.

Immediately after, he studied with Magneto for a whole night. They found that the matter of transforming the environment of a place through magnetic force was really feasible, because someone in this country had already experimented with it.

Magneto read a few machine-translated papers. Although the translation was donkey-lipped and horse-mouthed, relying on his extremely deep understanding of magnetic force, he still understood the general idea.

Simply put, transforming a planet through magnetic force cannot directly change the planet's magnetic field, which will trigger many unstable geological changes and may even cause the planet to disintegrate.

On the contrary, it is to influence the planet's magnetic field by changing the planet's structure, because the transformation of the geological structure is controllable, and for mutants who can naturally feel the magnetic field, the magnetic field changes caused by the change of geological structure are also clearly visible, saving a series of monitoring and experiments. Compared with ordinary people who use cumbersome scientific means, it can be said to be easy.

The more Magneto read, the more he felt it made sense. He felt that this expert should be his soulmate. As a result, after Clark translated it for him, he realized that this was not written by any expert or professor at all, but by a college student.

The person didn't study mutants either, but just mentioned in one of the possibilities of the paper that mutants could complete this work. The main discussion of the whole paper was the possibility of influencing the planet's magnetic field by transforming the geological structure.

It has to be said that this is a bit too cutting-edge. They have only entered the era of interstellar exploration for a few years, and the Chinese are already thinking about transforming outer planets?

After reading the previous parts carefully, Magneto realized that this college student didn't study this for anything else, but for farming. What he discussed was how to build a greenhouse on an outer planet that is suitable for the growth of common Chinese ingredients, so that farming can begin as soon as planet colonization begins.

Magneto read this paper repeatedly several times and felt that this talent was truly rare. The isolated star farming system envisioned above, although it is a fantasy for ordinary people who haven't walked far from Earth, is very useful for mutants.

But just by relying on such a vague name, Magneto couldn't find this person. There was no way, he still contacted Professor X, wanting to use his old partner's special ability to see if he could find this genius teenager in the vast sea of people.

Unfortunately, Professor X refused him.
