Chapter 6: Despicable Earthlings
Elaini and her comrades arrived in the solar system with great enthusiasm. In this small solar system there is a legendary civilization called Earth.
Legend has it that this earth is barren and technologically backward. It is said that it took tens of thousands of years to evolve from the Stone Tool Civilization to the Primary Cosmic Civilization. This evolutionary period costs much more than most people who can reach the population of civilizations in the universe.
Suffice it to say that the Earth itself is not a planet suitable for the development of advanced civilizations. Because there is a lack of natural high-grade isotopes on this planet. Without high-grade isotopes, there is no way to make powerful energy.
The development of civilization is inseparable from energy, and the biggest feature of civilization from beast form to primary primitive civilization is to learn to use fire. When a certain energy transformation is mastered, this is the beginning of civilization.
There is a shortage of helium-3, a basic isotope on Earth, and it is almost impossible to develop towards a cosmic civilization without high-grade isotopes. Because space energy alone is enough to kill the development of civilization.
And it is such a barren planet, such a civilization, and now it has actually begun to develop in the direction of cosmic civilization. It's amazing.
If anything could explain the magic of all this, Elaini, the ten-captain of the Nova Legion, would tell others her answer with certainty: it was entertainment, and it was entertainment that made this civilization so vibrant.
Those who seek hope in the midst of despair, praise the brightest side of human nature, and look directly at the darkest side of human nature. Earth's civilizations look at themselves in their own unique way.
Despair has never really knocked anyone down, and war has never really destroyed anyone. In the devastated ruins, an old luthier stands on the ruins with a violin rescued from his own home.
The violin's beautiful timbre contrasts sharply with the devastation left by the war. Even if you know that from now on, life will be extremely difficult. But there will still be people who will stand up and shout at the others: Do it again, do it again, we won't be knocked down, we can stand up again.
Maybe not in words, not in speeches. They use music, they use movies, they use games, they use paintings. Earth civilization inspires itself in every way they can think of.
Earthlings are too good at comforting themselves, and they use these methods to get through one dark day after another. Even in the most brutal wars, there are still people singing.
Such a civilization is fascinating and interesting. They have created so many amazing things. Because of the scarcity of various materials, the earth's civilization must try its best to use all methods to transform its only resources.
Just like milk, such a simple raw material, the earthlings have actually transformed it: cream, cheese, condensed milk, yogurt and other different foods. And in these seemingly simple transformations, they have made more changes with different collocations. Star-Lord says there are hundreds of cheese varieties on the planet, all with different flavors and emphases.
With the addition of different flavors, yogurt can also show a completely different look. Cream can be used to make cakes and ice cream, etc., and condensed milk can be used as a dipping and filling for a variety of sweets.
A simple milk is ever-changing in the hands of earthlings. The same goes for rice, which can be transformed into a variety of desserts and savoury dishes.
Elaini still can't forget that after she writhed with the donkey while eating rice noodles, Gamora told her that the ingredients for these things were actually the same (glutinous rice is rice, too).
This made Elaini and her comrades more and more interested in the Earth. They really wanted to see what the civilization that invented it all looked like.
Barren land gives birth to two civilizations. One is just holding on to it, and finally wailing and dying helplessly in barrenness. There is also a way to do everything possible to make the originally barren life colorful. It's like a bowl of noodles has to make a hundred different patterns.
Earth's civilization is clearly the latter. So such a civilization is very attractive to the Nova Legion. There are not many such colorful civilizations in the galaxy, and they need to be protected. It's like earthlings protecting giant pandas.
With the eagerness to visit the giant pandas, Elaini and the others finally came to the solar system. Out of ...... for the Great Bear Cough...... The basic courtesy of the Earth Civilization, Star-Lord said that he wanted to contact the Earth Civilization first.
Therefore, Star-Lord made contact with the Earth civilization (the Illuminati) with everyone's entrustment and expectations.
And for Li Jie, the arrival of Star-Lord and the Nova Legion couldn't be better. Because he had just promised the Zetarians that if they caught the Count of Skurull, they would cease fire or something.
If you go back on your word like this and break your promise, your image will not be good. After all, he is still a man with a head and a face.
And now that the Nova Legion has come out, it's even better! I promised the Zetarians a ceasefire, but the Nova Legion didn't agree!
The Zetarians are space pirates, and the Nova Legion is the space police! Isn't it natural for the police to catch pirates or something? Why do you want to do it yourself, just leave the professional things to the professional people.
So Li Jie said to Star-Lord and the people of the Nova Legion: "The Zetarians are now in Saturn, and they are trapped by me for the time being, and you can wait for a while and I will send a signal to come back." ”
Why wait? Because the Zetarians are struggling to capture Count Skuru. The Illuminati, including the Skrull native Li Jie, deliberated for a while and decided to arrest him alive. It may be useful in future operations against the Skruls, whether in diplomacy or warfare.
And a boatload of living Skrulls! That's the best research material for Doctor Fantastic Richards. Even if you take some to slice and study, it won't be distressing. The most important thing is for Dr. Richards to develop a genetic potion specifically for the Skrulls as soon as possible.
After a difficult resistance and breakthrough, the Skuru spaceship led by Lega was officially captured by the Zetarians. The Zetarians kept their promise and sent the Skrull's ship as a gift to Lee's fleet. (The ship's armament was all taken down, and the engines were destroyed)
The general of Zitari summoned Li Jie: "Respected general of the earth civilization, do you think our sincerity is enough?"
After receiving the Skruul spaceship, Li Jie immediately photographed a Yamato mixed fleet to escort the spaceship. As for General Zitari's questioning, Li Jie said generously: "I am very satisfied, I have seen your sincerity." ”
"Shall we go, then?" said General Zetari with hope.
Li Jie was noncommittal: "Of course, please." But remember not to come back to the solar system in the future. ”
"Of course, of course!" the current space pirates had no temperament at all, and the general nodded like garlic.
But just as General Zetari nodded his head and was about to leave with the fleet with joy, a powerful leap of energy suddenly came.
This was followed by a voice that frightened the Zetarians: "Zetarians, I am Elani, the ten-captain of the Nova Legion. Now that you are surrounded by the Nova Legion, you are now commanded to surrender immediately. Otherwise, you will be killed!"
looked at the Nova Legion that suddenly appeared, and the Earth Fleet that had rested for a while recuperating on the sidelines. General Zitari suddenly understood something.
He angrily slapped the armrest of his seat and scolded fiercely: "Despicable earthlings!
And at this time, Zitari's general received another summons from Li Jie, and he didn't know why this despicable earthling still had the face to communicate with himself.
Li Jie's subpoena: "I'm sorry, but the Nova Legion has sent a request to help capture you. As a member of the galactic civilization, we still need to cooperate with the Nova Legion. So, we might still have to go to war. But I swear, it really wasn't of my own volition!" Li Jie said the same as the truth.
General Zitari only felt that there was a mouthful of old blood that he couldn't spurt out and couldn't swallow, and he felt uncomfortable to death.
