Chapter 550: Solar System in Deep Water and Scorching Fire (Part 2)
The focus of the Solar System Construction Project is the Sun, and the difficulty also lies in the Sun.
This exuberant and enthusiastic star illuminates all planets in the solar system with its endless light and also nurtures Earth and human civilization on Earth.
However, to develop the solar system, the Sun's light has become a difficulty that cannot be bypassed. On the planets closest to the Sun, the scorching high temperature is the enemy of human material science.
Up to now, almost all facilities at the Mercury base are built underground at the poles. Since obtaining molten steel, some facilities have been moved to the ground, and some important components still rely on the manual enchantment of great mages to protect them; otherwise, it is difficult to withstand the high temperature.
The development of material science cannot be achieved overnight. If you want a solid foundation, you cannot seek speed; otherwise, it is easy to fall into the predicament of the sulfur dwarves.
Therefore, even for a genius like Stark, it is very headache-inducing to want speed and quality at the same time. And now, seeing the environmental force field of the Dark Elves that can completely block sunlight, his eyes are glowing.
The cameras Stark placed around Earth have temperature sensors, and the readings on the sensors clearly tell him that the Dark Elves' environmental force field not only blocks light but also blocks heat.
This technology is not even possessed by the great mages of Kamar-Taj. After all, the Himalayas are not hot, so there is no need to create a light shield to cool themselves down. And to start research from scratch, it would be a research cycle measured in decades.
And in order to create an environment where they can move around, the Dark Elves have maxed out this skill. Not only is the light in the environmental force field controllable, but even the temperature is precisely controllable.
Stark shouted into the communicator: "Capture them alive! We need this technology!"
"Who is that person standing on the bow of the warship? That dark-skinned one with long hair..."
Strange felt somewhat confused by Stark's sudden excitement, but after listening to Stark's explanation of the principle, he also felt it made sense, so he said to the mages who had already rushed over:
"Don't get excited! Keep them alive! Especially that one standing on the bow of the first ship, who is that? Capture him alive!"
And Mage Wong, who had already arrived near the warship, recognized the flamboyant Dark Elf standing on the bow at first glance, and he shouted:
"Malekith!
!"
Malekith turned his head to look at him, saw Wong and the mages behind him, snorted disdainfully, and said: "Kamar-Taj? Where is your boss, the Ancient One? Are there only a few of you left?!"
And after Mage Wong finished shouting the name, there was a second half of the sentence that was even more deafening: "...... Get out of the way!
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Several huge blade lights slashed the bow of the warship, and Malekith, who was standing on the bow with nowhere to rely, let out a huge scream, and blood erupted from his chest.
Wong led the mages and rushed over in a panic, shouting while flying: "No! Schiller! Stop quickly, we need to capture him alive!
At this time, Strange, who had just arrived on the battlefield, said to the communicator: "Tony, your Mercury light shield might... have a small problem."
"I saw it." Stark said with a headache: "Hurry and stop Schiller, let him cut those ships, we only need the light shield technology, we can study the Chitauri and Kree spaceships first..."
Strange could only fly over helplessly and, together with other mages, stop Moon Knight Schiller, who saw everything as something to be cut.
Stark, sitting in the main control room, was thinking. He thought for a while and then dialed Loki's phone. At this time, Loki was standing on a planet at the edge of the Dark Dimension.
She wasn't anxious. According to her estimation, the Dark Elves were attacking with all their strength. According to the combat power of humans above Earth, it would take at least two or three days to fight.
After all, this wasn't a small fuss like the Chitauri sending a few warships, but 28 warships and an elite wizard squad led by Malekith himself.
The great mages were indeed strong, but their numbers were too few. Even with the help of superheroes, it was feared that they couldn't fully cope with it. In the end, various countries on Earth would definitely have to contribute, so that the goal of training troops would be achieved.
When Stark's call came in, Loki took the initiative to ask: "How is it? This should be fine now, right?"
"Although the combat power of the Dark Elves doesn't rank high among the Nine Realms, it's still quite strong for humans."
Stark looked at the scene in the monitoring screen where endless blade lights broke into the crowd, and the mages were all chasing behind, shouting: "Stop him! Stop Schiller! Preserve the fire of the Dark Elves, otherwise no one will know the technology!
Stark opened his mouth, not knowing how to describe the scene now to Loki. He asked: "... Do you know what the antonym of evenly matched is?"
Just when Loki felt something was wrong and hurriedly opened the magic eye, Strange had already taken out his phone and said somewhat brokenly:
"Master Ancient One! Come back quickly, there is a madman here who can't be stopped, come quickly and take him away!"
With a golden light descending from the deep space, like the tremor of a bell echoing throughout the universe, in an instant, space and time condensed together. The Ancient One in yellow robes descended from the pillar of light and said:
"Stop!"
The Ancient One scanned the circle, didn't figure out the situation, and thought it was the Dark Elves invading Earth. She said routinely: "Around Earth, idlers stay away. Malekith, go back to your territory!... Malekith? Malekith?!"
The Ancient One stopped her turning head and cast her gaze on Malekith, who was lying on the deck covered in blood. At this time, Schiller, holding an umbrella sword, was standing in front of him, stepping on Malekith's chest, raising the umbrella high, and the blade light flashed.
"Bang!"
The umbrella sword was blocked. The Ancient One appeared opposite Schiller and stretched out a hand, with a mysterious magic array forming a shield in front of her hand.
The Ancient One narrowed her eyes and looked at Schiller, feeling somewhat confused. In her impression, Schiller was still S. H. I. E. L. D.'s psychologist and the financial advisor to the Sanctum Sanctorum. Taking a step back, he was also a civilian staff member who offered advice. Why did he suddenly come to the field himself?
Suddenly, she discovered that the power on Schiller was somewhat familiar. The Ancient One frowned and said loudly: "Moon God Khonshu, you violated the rules!"
From the Ancient One's perspective, it must be another case of a cosmic demon god manipulating believers to invade Earth. She had dealt with this kind of thing too many times.
Thus, before Khonshu could speak, the Ancient One turned her hands and slapped Schiller on the chest.
Silently, Khonshu's giant phantom was slapped out of Schiller's body. Immediately after, she raised her hand, and the shield formed by the magic array wrapped around Schiller, ensuring he wouldn't die in a vacuum due to the loss of supernatural power.
Khonshu, who had just left his body, revealed an extremely human-like expression of horror, but it wasn't because of the Ancient One.
Schiller floated up slowly, gray mist permeating his body. Immediately after, the mist became thicker and thicker, and after gradually drifting away, it shrouded the entire dark force field.
There were weapons everywhere, and in this silent and terrifying atmosphere, the Dark Elves fell one by one.
Instantly, the gray mist contracted, condensed into tentacles, and spread rapidly like a flower bud, sweeping across all warships. Amidst countless fragments flying, the gray mist tentacles inserted into every energy node.
When the slight tremor was felt, the entire dark force field shattered like a bubble.
Schiller cleared the screen around Earth with one big move. The first one to react was Khonshu, who had just left Schiller's body.
He returned to Schiller's body at a speed like a cafeteria opening for dinner, then used both hands from behind to support Moon Knight Schiller on the tower top and said:
"Stop, stop! Stop fighting, the Ancient One is coming to beat you up!
Moon Knight Schiller struggled, waving his arms. The gray mist surrounded him, pulling his arms, wanting to pull him out of Khonshu's front position. Khonshu had to divide his power to suppress the gray mist.
And Jormungandr, coiled on the tower top, flicked his tail and said: "As expected of my Pope, kill them all!"
"Don't add to the chaos, come help!"
At this time, in the outside real world, Strange finally flew to the Ancient One's side and said: "No! It's not to stop Malekith, it's to stop Schiller, don't let him kill Malekith. Where is Malekith?"
The Ancient One lowered her head and looked at her feet. Malekith was indeed still alive, because the Ancient One's own shield was relatively powerful and unaffected by the mist, and the Ancient One was very close to Malekith, so the shield also affected him, allowing him to save his life.
Strange breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the battlefield around, almost nothing was left here.
Everything was swallowed by the gray mist, except for the still-suppressed light indicating that the Dark Elves had come aggressively, nothing else was left.
Strange, Stark in the control room, and Loki staring at the magic screen all sighed together.
Loki spoke first to Stark: "I don't know whether to say human civilization is too lucky or too unfortunate..."
Stark touched his temples, watching Strange clean up Malekith and the wreckage of the Dark Elf fleet.
*Si Lu Ke*
He sighed and said to Loki:
"Things have reached this point, everyone is here. If Asgard has any enemies in the universe, bring them here quickly. This is much faster than the Bifrost."
Loki also discovered the problem, but as a bystander, she saw it more clearly than Stark. She said: "Otherwise, how about this? What technology do you lack? I'll go look and see if there is a corresponding civilization in the universe, and let them send a fleet here, and everything will be solved."
Stark was about to speak when he heard a phone call come in. After connecting, he found it was actually Schiller. Schiller said to Stark in a chilling tone: "We'll settle our accounts later. Now I have a plan..."
"What do you want to do?" Stark asked.
"The attraction of counterattacking Asgard is not enough. Those who come are either making deals with Loki, wanting to borrow his power, or they have grudges against Asgard themselves. None of those who come can fight."
"Why not spread the word that there are very precious treasures within the Nine Realms, and cordially invite experts from all walks of life to besiege Asgard, overthrow Odin's brutal rule, and let those who can get the treasures take them."
"Block all other necessary paths, leaving only this one path from Earth to Asgard. This way, Earth becomes a trap."
"Of course, calling it a trap is too ugly. Why not call it a cosmic toll station."
"Those who pay will have the bar raised; those who don't pay, raise it a few more times, and just chop them." ===== CHAPTER 551 =====
