Chapter 3990

Schiller was currently on the No. 1 mountain range of Asgard's polar planet. He was using gray mist to spit out supplies. After spitting out the transported supplies, he started to wander around in the hollows dug out of the mountain.

He had never had the chance to see the faster-than-light engine built in the Himalayas on Earth before. This time he could finally see it to his heart's content. Although the things were basically made on Earth and packed over, it was not bad to see the installation process.

To be honest, this thing was not as cool as Schiller imagined. It looked like a big stove, and the special metals used were all painted in gray colors, not gorgeous enough at all. If it weren't said that this was a faster-than-light engine, one would think it was a bathhouse boiler.

But Schiller knew very well that this kind of equipment itself should be in this style. Playing with those fancy light strips is too easy to have problems, and maintenance is a difficult thing.

He didn't know how many times he had heard Stark complain that the breathing light of his arc reactor had problems, either it didn't flash, or it flashed randomly, basically having to be repaired every week. But for the sake of aesthetics, he still firmly refused to change it, even though this thing was still embedded in his chest. When repairing it, he accidentally burned his own flesh, and he was grinning in pain, but he still insisted on installing it. It can only be said that he is worthy of being Iron Man.

After visiting a circle, looking at those familiar characters and numbers, as well as the red and blue waterproof cloth that reminded him of his childhood, and the super machines placed below that were completely out of tune with this simple style, Schiller was satisfied and prepared to return to the base to rest for a while, but then received a call from Stark.

"What's wrong? Is your breathing light broken again?"

Stark was stunned, looked down at his chest, the light strip on the outside of the reactor was really not bright. Stark almost jumped up, and shouted to the other side of the phone: "Is it your ghost again?! You let your symbiote adjust the room humidity again, causing my lighting energy circuit to short-circuit! You bastard..."

"I'm half a planet away from you now," Schiller said, "I've been busy for more than 20 hours since I came from Earth, and I'm just about to rest, speak quickly if you have something to say."

"Ahem," Stark cleared his throat and said, "Other Iron Men are preparing to set up a research project, asking if we can provide resources. What do you think?"

"'I think' is useless, you have to submit it to the command center first, let them do a strategic assessment, and then send it to the think tank for risk assessment. After all of them pass, it will be transferred to the original material coordination and scheduling system, and the system will send me a list, then I can go and deliver it."

"I'm just worried that the risk assessment won't pass." Stark said.

"So you want me to go through the back door for you? But don't forget, my identity now is not Schiller, but a Fog Walker, an ordinary second-line hero, how can I have such a big say?"

"Then can't you be Schiller for a while?"

"I don't think I'm needed for this," Schiller thought for a while and said, "It should be passable. Although there are indeed some risks, don't forget why we are fighting this war. We have to give them some sweetness first, so that we can come and go often in the future, isn't it?"

With these words, Stark felt much more at ease. In such matters, Schiller's judgment is generally very accurate, he said it can pass, so it must be passable.

Besides, their universe has quite a few special resources. Although other universes might also have this kind of resource in the universe, obviously they don't have the conditions for large-scale mining. The mess on Earth hasn't been solved yet, and wanting to go to other star systems for large-scale mining would take forever.

In other words, these resources can only be obtained from the central universe, so if these resources are used to build armor or weapons, won't they have to come back for maintenance? Even if the quality is excellent and the return rate is not high, can't they want to build some more after using this upgraded version of equipment?

Iron Man at full firepower is definitely a big consumer of resources, and most of the Earths where Iron Men are located simply can't afford it. Even in the central universe, before humans entered the era of interstellar exploration, Stark had no way to mass-produce his design drawings. No way, the things are good, but there are not enough resources to build them.

Stark can be a little better, if he is in a hurry, he can use magic to build them. But most Iron Men can't even use magic, that is really relying on hand-hammering from the sprout under the water to the great civilization, a true hammer god.

So although giving these Iron Men resources now might be a loss, it's like a tasting, it's hard to attract customers without losing a little. As long as they form a dependency, they can still earn it back in the end.

Sure enough, the command center in the rear thought the same, and even generously said: "You can build whatever you want with the resources, and you can take them away yourself after building them, we won't keep a cent, just consider it supporting the construction of the multiverse."

To say they weren't moved would be impossible, but in fact, the mood of most Iron Men and Captain Americas was very complicated.

"Responsibility" is actually a very illusory word in the Western world. Most Europeans and Americans don't pursue this from birth to death, nor have they seen such people. Their political style is a glimpse of it.

When running for election, they blow it up, and after taking office, they can't realize any of it, and even go backward. But in the eyes of voters, there is no problem at all, they don't even use this point to attack anyone, because in their view, this is normal.

There is no lack of heroes who meet difficulties in the Western world, but in their cognition, heroes are heroes out of courage and passion to break through difficulties, not out of a sense of responsibility to bear something. The words spoken and the promises made are just a way to win, and as long as they win, it doesn't matter if they fulfill their promises, everyone understands and respects this idea.

Although the strong sense of responsibility in the East can also lead to the problem of excessive personal pressure, the lack of responsibility in the West does lead to the fact that their society has no belief that can support the whole society, as if the whole society is waiting for a few heroes who suddenly burst into courage to save them.

In the competition of the multiverse, most universes also adopt typical Western election thinking, that is, talking big, making promises to people everywhere, socializing with people, appearing tough, passionate, and not giving an inch, trying to win status in this way.

But the fact is that this set of things can work in the Western society on Earth, which is actually an accident, and it can't be said to work, but it is gradually showing the drag of social systems on modernization development, and it will become more and more serious with the development of time.

It is absolutely impossible to apply this formula to all situations, especially at the level of universal game. "Social victory" is not victory at all, because winning status in the multiverse is not by voting, but by fists.

When a multiverse disaster comes, talking is useless, being able to fight is the kingly way. If you choose the most social universe by voting, then when those mysterious existences want to destroy the universe, do you expect these people to talk the enemy away?

If there cannot be a leader who can really shoulder things, and high-level personnel who can take out enough strength to retreat the enemy at critical moments, then the existence of this multiverse alliance has no meaning.

In this case, everyone must abandon the "voting politics" thinking of the past and turn to think about the meaning of "social responsibility" and what it can bring them.

Only the universe that truly takes responsibility out of a sense of multiverse social responsibility is the leader they need and can lead them through difficulties. And the way to take responsibility is not empty promises, but real money and silver.

If a universe is really willing to share its own resources to build the multiverse, it proves that he sincerely wants to improve the power of the multiverse to deal with disasters, rather than using the power in his hands for personal gain.

Even if you don't talk about theory, just from the perspective of actual interests, letting such a universe become a leader, they can also get more benefits.

Most Iron Men started to calculate. It's not that they don't know that using the resources of the central universe to build things might create dependency, but so what?

My own universe doesn't let me build, and there are not so many resources for me to build, others provided me with favorable conditions, why don't I use them?

Is mastering too much power the source of destruction? Go to hell, most Iron Men understood how stupid the rhetoric of the military and government was after experiencing the round of fighting just now.

Humans are already so weak, you tell me we have mastered too much power? This is like the last place closing the book, closing his eyes and saying: "Learning too much knowledge will make it messy, so I have to learn slowly."

In fact, when the mech was controlled by Jarvis, they weren't that panicked; when they were shaken by the space shattering escape, they weren't that terrified; when they learned that humans here had popularized faster-than-light engine technology, they were just a bit amazed. But what shook them the most was hearing from main universe Iron Man about the process of Asgard using the Bifrost to help humans mine.

The humans of this universe are already so strong, but in the eyes of Asgard, they are still children who need to be held and walked. Asgard's behavior is like parents feeding, fearing that the food is too big for the child to bite, first taking a spoon to crush it and then feeding it.

Isn't it the same on their side, and isn't it the same on Batman's side? The Justice League has been busy for so many years, in the end, isn't the base used still Apokolips?

Everyone discovered that in this case, Earth is not something that can be taken out, not their proud home and stable rear, but their drag, their weakness.

This fact will extremely seriously strike the confidence of human supremacists, such as Stark, such as Strange. The more excellent and proud, the more they will feel collapsed when they find that they are not capable enough.

Iron Man's side is broken anyway, otherwise they wouldn't have opened this mouth to Stark. Because every Iron Man is proud, they once firmly believed that their universe was not bad, and felt that they could build the best equipment on their own Earth without others' help.

And their decision to take action in this universe is actually choosing to give up in the process of breaking and rebuilding, putting down those unrealistic idealisms in their hearts, picking up the rice bowl of the real world, and filling their stomachs first.

It's hard to say whether this transformation is good or bad, but at least it is very beneficial to the central universe. Although they can take away the equipment, it is built under Jarvis's nose after all, the technology is completely transparent, and genius scientists like Iron Man are particularly prone to flashes of inspiration, coming up with some technologies that this universe doesn't have, so it's not a loss to exchange resources.

Iron Man's side is settled, but Doctor Strange's side is not so easy. Since Asgard's base was put into use, the interior of the Supreme Sorcerer group has directly split.

"Quiet! All quiet! Listen to me!!!" Strange stood in the center of the conference room and shouted, "I'll say it one last time! In this universe, Asgard is our firm ally, Loki is not an enemy! And we are not completely dependent on them, borrowing their base is just a strategy!!!"

But one could tell from the questioning expressions of other Doctor Stranges that they didn't believe it at all. Strange simply had a head two sizes too big.
