Chapter 4185: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (III)

"Hello, hello, Collector. Long time no see. Please sit down and taste the fine wine produced on our Earth." Schiller invited the Collector to the sofa and went to open the wine.

The Collector said irritably: "When I received your invitation, I couldn't believe it. You humans ransacked my treasure vault, snatched away my gems, and now you are actually inviting me to be a guest!"

"Alright, don't be angry. You also know that we were fighting at that time, and we had no choice but to do so. Besides, didn't we not take your other collections? It's fine as long as the things are still there."

"But don't blame me for being blunt. Your treasure vault is really not very safe. Your name as the Collector is known to everyone in the universe. Everyone knows that if they want treasures, they go to you to find them. Before, they were deterred by your prestige and no one dared to do anything. But after being robbed once, they knew you were a soft persimmon, and there would be a second time, a third time. Hiding like this is not a solution."

The Collector wanted to say "You don't even think about who the culprit is," but he also knew that saying such angry words was useless. Let alone him, even if all the Elders of the Universe were put together, they couldn't beat humans. He definitely couldn't take revenge for this grudge.

And compared to revenge, he wanted to protect his pile of treasures even more. But just as Schiller said, once someone notices a hole in the barrel, more holes will appear. Before, they were afraid of offending the Elders of the Universe and couldn't find the Collector's museum, so naturally, they couldn't rob it; but now it's different. The Collector has been hiding here and there recently. He came to the appointment so quickly because he wanted to be safe on Earth.

"The Interstellar Council is moving to the Milky Way." Schiller said, "Your brother, the Grandmaster, is also preparing to open a casino here. We have already agreed to find the Asgardian gods to open the door for him. He specifically pleaded with me, saying that you have been having a hard time recently, and asked us to allocate a piece of land for you next to his casino to build your museum. With the gods guarding the place, no one dares to rob it."

"What?" The Collector was obviously more emotional than the Grandmaster, and he said, "The Grandmaster said that? God, I really didn't misjudge him."

"Anyway, I have already agreed, but whether you come or not depends on your meaning. However, I have a request. If you want to open a museum, it must be open to the public for people to visit. However, we can specially approve two god warriors to protect the safety of you and your collections. The Sanctum Sanctorum can also provide you with personal and collection safety insurance. How about that?"

This could be considered hitting the Collector's heart. Although he is a collector, he also wants to show off his collections. Before, he didn't do this because he didn't have the strength and couldn't protect the collections at all, so naturally, the fewer people who knew, the better. But if there is this opportunity, he is naturally willing.

"That... that's not impossible." The Collector coughed twice pretentiously and then said, "This place is quite remote. I went through four portals and flew for a long time before I got here."

"Your spaceship... oh, alright. You should have said so earlier. We would have picked you up. However, you can rest assured about this. The land allocated to the Grandmaster is next to the Morning Star in Centaurus, near the Southern Cross constellation, which is the future political center. We are also preparing to open a large portal next to it to serve as a transportation hub for the Milky Way. You can rest assured about the passenger flow."

"Alright, then what do I need to do?"

"Can you draw? Like that kind of architectural blueprint, or modeling is also fine. You can draw a design drawing of the museum and turn it into a way of information that humans can receive. We guarantee that it can be restored."

"Really?! That's great!" The Collector jumped up from the sofa and began to pace back and forth excitedly, saying, "I have long wanted to build a super-large museum. In this way, each collection can have a display cabinet. I couldn't do it at all before because I had too many collections... But that might really be a bit big. Are you sure you can build it?"

The Collector would naturally have doubts because humans are indeed not a very advanced civilization. Their buildings on Earth are built quite well, but it might not be the case on other planets.

"Don't worry, we will use magic materials of the same origin as Asgard's palace, and mages will build it, ensuring perfect restoration of the design drawings, and taking into account safety. Even buildings that gods cannot destroy will definitely be able to protect your collections well."

"Oh, God, mages are building it? Don't your mages have anything else to do? Hmm, I mean, won't it be too much of a fuss." The Collector was obviously very surprised because, just like the gods, human mages are also famous. Letting mages be architects is simply unbelievable.

"It doesn't matter. The Milky Way is the home of humans, and we naturally want to build this place well. We will strictly check all buildings to prevent some ugly things that spoil the scenery, or defective products with poor quality. Do you know? On Earth, a museum is a landmark building of a city and has very important significance, so naturally, it cannot be sloppy..."

Schiller bluffed and bluffed, making the Collector dizzy. Not only did he agree to the authorization, but he was also prepared to visit Earth's museums first and then draw a good design drawing.

When he left the nursing home, he was still puzzled. After all, this is simply a good thing that fell from the sky, and he didn't even have to pay for the construction of the museum. Are humans so generous?

Schiller also felt that he had made a profit. The Collector really has many collections. Although not all of them have economic value, they are indeed very old and very special. And humans have always valued the historical value of collections more than the value of the collections themselves, and these collections also have high educational value.

Now that the human physique has improved, they are not so afraid of the cosmic environment, and the laborers in the interstellar colonization era need to be cultivated from childhood. They certainly cannot just stay on Earth to learn. What better place for a study tour than a museum that encompasses the history of the entire universe at their doorstep?

Going to the Collector's museum to learn history, getting to know the big shots of the Interstellar Council from childhood, and then going to the casino to get to know the forces of all walks of life—this is the educational environment and faculty strength that a cosmic capital should enjoy.

And this money is actually not paid by humans. The reason why Schiller adjusted the construction standard so high, building entertainment cities, using magic materials, and hiring gods, is all to get money from the Interstellar Council.

The entertainment city and the museum will all become supporting facilities for the Interstellar Council buildings and be counted into the construction budget of Acrux. Others will not have any opinions, because the higher the budget, the more they can get; the better the construction standard, the more they can enjoy.

There is no doubt that the politicians were very satisfied when they saw this planning plan. Although they agreed to go to the Milky Way before, most of them were political considerations; now that they see it, humans are very sensible. Entertainment cities and office buildings are built together, so there is no need to worry about having nowhere to go after work.

But in fact, these are all scraps, all buildings built on the planet's surface, and there is no technical content. The most troublesome thing is actually the portal system.

Within the Nine Realms, of course, they cannot use the portal system of the three major empires; they have to use their own. But the transportation system needs a hub, just like the Great Portal of the Shi'ar Empire. Currently, the largest portal for humans is still much smaller than the Great Portal, and humans have almost never built a permanent portal; they are all collected after use.

It seems that this is the biggest difficulty in the development of the Southern Cross this time, but in fact, the biggest difficulty is that the person responsible for building this portal system is Reed Richards.

This Speaker, the Sorcerer Supreme, has to be the Speaker until everyone has moved over and the situation has stabilized. Stark has to be responsible for things within the entire solar system. Don't forget, they also want to get a shield for the entire solar system.

Just like this, it wouldn't be that only Reed could do it, but the key is that he created an antimatter cosmic channel when the two major empires invaded Asgard before, and that thing was incredibly sturdy. The three major empires took out all their housekeeping skills and took turns blasting it, but it remained motionless. In the end, they withdrew their troops, not because they couldn't beat the bugs, but mainly because they couldn't break the channel.

As long as there was a glimmer of hope to attack this thing, the two major empires with such high sunk costs would definitely not give up easily. It must be that after their research, this thing had no possibility of being closed by external force, so they retreated in a sorry state.

So this is a black technology that even the three major empires cannot crack. Isn't it just right to be used to build the Milky Way's transportation system?

The only problem is that Reed has always been good at not being spiritual and bad at being spiritual. Just as Franklin said, you let him build an escape channel, he can open it on the enemy's face; then you let him go to destroy the enemy, he will definitely punch the enemy in the most painful place.

However, considering that this time building the transportation system is also to oppose the three major empires, Reed can also be used.

Most importantly, after this thing is built, his whole family will also use it. Franklin is easy to talk about, but the Fantastic Four in this universe have no superpowers, and he and Susan are both ordinary people. If this channel is not sturdy, even a slight vibration could shake them to death. Even considering his own life, Reed should be cautious.

This transportation system is not just in the Southern Cross, but will cover the entire Milky Way, not even letting go of the most remote places. So the first thing to do is to investigate the environment of the Milky Way and find the safest place at each node to place the portal.

This is a big project, and all superheroes must be dispatched. Nick has to manage the project, and others basically have to manage the technology, so Schiller can only manage the manpower.

"Quiet, all quiet!" Schiller stood in the conference hall of S. H. I. E. L. D. and shouted, "Don't whisper anymore, the meeting is about to start!"

"What you see now is the three-dimensional display map of the Milky Way. Every dot on this is the location where we are going to build a portal. Although it looks like just a small dot, it is actually a star sector with a large range. Now what you have to do is to go to the coordinate location you received on your mobile phone to explore, observe the galaxy environment, record various data, and then upload it to this software."

"Considering that you rarely conduct interstellar travel, I have written all the precautions into the novice tutorial of the software. You must look at it carefully, follow the steps, and never act rashly and rush into those dangerous celestial bodies. Do you understand?"

Peter, sitting in the front row, lowered his head and opened his mobile phone. The doctor had sent the software installation package in the group before, and he had installed it last night, but he didn't look at it carefully.

He searched for the software on his mobile phone and saw a black-bottomed icon with the entire Milky Way nebula printed on it, and the name below the icon was—"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". ===== CHAPTER 4186 =====
