Chapter 4727: X-Men: New Life (Part 9)

Speaking of this engineering process, one has to mention the mutants from the central universe. Because of their special development method, compared to hitting people, they are better at hitting ash (construction). Or rather, they grasp both hands, and both hands are hard.

Building the Andromeda Galaxy is not just about moving your mouth. Even if the enemies are beaten away and you enjoy a galaxy alone, this galaxy is still in a wild state. Everything has to be done by yourself when reclaiming land.

It is analogous to farmers farming. Many people's impression of farming is digging a hole and burying some soil. Little do they know, that is the planting process on existing fields. If there is no land, you have to reclaim it yourself. Reclaiming land is tiring and troublesome.

The process of star system reclamation is also similar to farming. First, choose a piece of land that looks okay, and start cleaning up debris, which is asteroids and space junk. Next is weeding, which is cleaning up the celestial bodies that are not needed in this area. Then it is plowing, readjusting the magnetic field and gravity state of this star system. Then it is ridging, adjusting the planets to the expected orbital positions, changing the state of the stars, and making them adapt to each other. Then you can cultivate seedlings and cultivate, which is building things on this piece of land.

Although it seems that Magneto can complete this process alone, he is only one person after all, and he has to take into account fighting. Many times he doesn't have the time to do these things, and they are all left to the ordinary mutants who stay in the Andromeda Galaxy.

They don't use mutant abilities to do these things, most of the time they use tools and equipment bought from the interstellar market. The interstellar civilization of the Marvel universe has developed very maturely, just like farming in the industrial age. No matter what you do, there are ready-made tools, just buy them back and use them.

It sounds simple, but it's not that easy to operate. When they first went to the Andromeda Galaxy, many mutants were unorganized and undisciplined, doing whatever they wanted, and doing whatever they wanted. Not only did they cause many accidents, but they also broke many tools. At that time, resources were already tight, and Magneto and Professor X had a headache for this for a long time.

Later, they referred to human architecture and engineering, formulated standardized processes, trained mutants, and let them become qualified ash-hitting workers.

And the first step of this standardized process is: no mutant can use mutant abilities at will when working.

It's not that they can't use it, but they can't use it casually. For example, if Polaris is allowed to be the gravity drag machine operator, she can only use the machine to grab things when operating, and cannot use her own mutant ability to drag things over, and then let the machine grab them.

Because the machine's work process is counted, and it won't be wrong if you follow the specifications. However, mutants use mutant abilities, which are all kinds of things. Maybe they want to pull to the left today, and want to pull to the right tomorrow. Several mutants are squeezed together, you pull me and I pull you, except for causing trouble, it is of no use.

Most mutants in the universe have this problem, they are very powerful at fighting, but they are not good at hitting ash. They can fight for territory, but they can't defend it, let alone build and develop it. This led to the fact that the territory they fought down could not be called their territory at all, at most it could be considered an occupied area. This is also the reason why the mutant nation-building plan always fails.

Of course, just building in Krakoa, using mutant abilities is completely enough. But it's like developing good calculation habits in elementary school. It's useless to have many steps in elementary school problems, but when you reach high school and university, if your calculation habits are not good, you can't learn mathematics well.

At this time, Erik was floating in the air, staring closely at every move of the pier below. The mutants below were indeed using mutant abilities, but they were all doing repetitive labor in the same way. Everyone performed their duties and only did one thing. It looked a bit rigid, but the efficiency was ridiculously high.

Schiller and others watched there for a long time. Soon, the shadows of several large ships vaguely appeared on the sea in the distance. In the vast mist, like ghost ships appearing out of thin air, they drew everyone's attention.

These ships really appeared out of thin air. They sailed out from the portal. When they arrived near Krakoa Island, through the mist, everyone saw the huge Chinese names on the hulls. The ancient and mysterious Eastern country was gradually showing its edge to Krakoa.

Strange flew down first, obviously he opened the portal. Followed by Charles and Zheng Xian, and behind them was a black-haired woman. Schiller looked into the distance, it seemed to be the weather witch of the Dynasty.

"I'm back, children." Charles's voice resounded in the mind of every mutant in Krakoa. They soon ran out and came to the pier to welcome him. At this time, the employees from S. P. E. A. R. had already started moving materials out.

Box after box of fresh food was transported to the island. The mutants were very shocked, looked at the food, then at the big ship, and finally their eyes fell on Charles's face.

Sebastian was the most shocked one. When he was in the Hellfire Group, he could be considered a diplomatic expert. It could be said that among all the countries he had contacted, it was the most difficult to deal with, there was no one.

This is a country that is soft and hard. They only do what they want to do, and nothing can shake their principles. There is no room for argument in negotiations with them, no matter how many conditions you put forward, how many methods you change, they bite a price, and no one wants to shake it.

Compared with them, Russia, which advocates nationalism and has always been unfriendly to mutants, is much easier to deal with. After all, individuals in Russia can be shaken, and it is very easy. But it is like a completely integrated behemoth, the loopholes you think you can find are actually just patterns on the scales. 【47

This is a nation that is impervious to both soft and hard tactics. They only do what they want to do, and nothing can shake their principles. There is no room for debate in negotiations with them either; no matter how many conditions you propose or how many methods you try, they stick to one price, and no one should think they can sway them.

Compared to them, Russia, which champions nationalism and has always been somewhat unfriendly toward mutants, is much easier to deal with. After all, individuals in Russia can be swayed, and quite easily at that. But it is like a completely integrated behemoth; the loopholes you think you can find are actually just patterns on its scales.

Sebastian never dreamed that Charles could actually persuade the Anquan Bureau. You must know that the Anquan Bureau is different from the Anquan Force. The Anquan Force is relatively independent and directly subordinate to the United Nations; even within the United States, its authority is not low, and it can challenge the government and the military.

The Anquan Bureau is different; they are a part of the government. If the government does not agree, they do not agree either. They represent the will of the government, which means that their appearance here now is equivalent to the fact that Krakoa and they have already established diplomatic relations.

Sebastian was very bewildered; how on earth was this accomplished?

But in reality, it was not complicated at all. With the introduction of the King of Wakanda, Black Panther, Charles successfully met with Zheng Xian. In dealing with Zheng Xian, he had to be much more enthusiastic and tactful.

"Hello, Director." Charles smiled at him, not putting on any airs, and said quite candidly, "I am very happy to be able to meet you here."

"I feel the same, Professor Xavier." Zheng Xian did not make any comments about his youthful appearance. This director was always indifferent, showed no emotional fluctuations, and it was impossible to tell what he was actually thinking.

Many people would be intimidated by this attitude of his, but Charles would not. Because in the central universe, the person he interacted with most often was this director. Don't forget, the New Shangdu nation and they are neighbors, and the two sides are as thick as thieves. Charles has even been to Zheng Xian's home.

"It's like this, Director. I won't bother with the pleasantries. I know you have a certain interest in the drug components extracted from the Krakoa flower. Krakoa wants to develop cooperative research with you, or we can provide the raw materials and you do the research. But we have one condition, and that is that the extracts of the Krakoa flower must enter your country's medical insurance system. At the same time, I request to conduct normal foreign trade with Krakoa."

Although Zheng Xian still maintained that indifferent look, he clearly focused his gaze on Charles, sized him up calmly, and then said: "Very well, let's go inside and discuss the details."

Regarding the part about drug cooperation, there was no difficulty in discussing it. Everyone wants such good things. But everyone else only thought about buying them directly after Krakoa produced them. Only they wanted to do the research themselves. And Charles believed that having mutants do the research was too energy-consuming, so it was better to export the raw materials directly. The two sides hit it off immediately.

As for the trade part, that was even simpler. It could basically be described as buying a fine horse in the east market, buying a saddle in the east market, buying a bridle in the east market, and buying a long whip in the east market.

However, Charles clearly understood the advantages. After concluding the negotiations on the trade portion, he proposed the hope of obtaining technical support, especially in the agricultural and industrial sectors. Simply put, it meant sending people to help teach farming techniques, while Krakoa would purchase seeds and farm tools. If they produced specialty agricultural products, they could also sell them back.

This part of the negotiation was a bit more difficult; after all, it is still somewhat hard to get technical personnel. Charles had no choice but to propose letting Zheng Xian and members of the Dynasty go to Krakoa Island to take a look. After all, this is a nation belonging to mutants, and it is possible that mutants might arrive there, so it would be good to be able to bring back some environmental information in advance.

After some negotiations, the Anquan Bureau agreed. Thus, they brought the first batch of emergency supplies to Krakoa, and then, unsurprisingly, received an unprecedented welcome.

In fact, the mutants are not blind either. They are very clear about which country their compatriots are living better in. It's just that for many mutants, survival in their original countries is already difficult enough; asking them to travel across the ocean to live in a country with a completely unfamiliar language and culture is completely unrealistic. Moreover, since it is not an immigrant country, it is also difficult for them to stay. But this does not mean they don't envy them in their hearts.

Now, at this critical juncture for Krakoa, they still stepped forward and brought them hope. This gave the mutants a stronger sense of goodwill toward this great eastern power. If mutants arrive later, they will surely be very welcome as well. This is precisely the main reason why the Anquan Bureau agreed to the cooperation.

No one can stop mutants from leaving. If they want to head to a nation filled with their own compatriots, that is also a completely reasonable demand. And the attitude of the government, or rather the Anquan Bureau, toward this is that regardless of where the mutants live, they hope to provide them with a better environment as much as possible.
