Chapter 167: The Endgame: The Avengers
After counting the harvest of the Battle of New York, Qiao Lu returned to the Wandering Earth through the Ark's teleportation point again.
At the same time, another special group of guests has also been sent to the wandering earth.
That is the endgame Avengers led by the future American captain Rogers, including Iron Man Tony, Ant-Man Scott, and Hulk Banner and other four, came to the Wandering Earth together.
According to the agreement they agreed with Qiao Lu, in the next few years, they will also use this place as a base for their activities.
Anyway, no matter how long they stayed here, it would only be a few seconds to go back to their own timeline.
So they're going to collect all the Infinity Stones here and get ready to go back to their timeline.
For them, the only obstacle is the longevity of human beings.
For the Wandering Earth, the technology of prolonging life will be studied sooner or later.
Even as long as Qiao Lu is willing, he can accelerate the research of the [Soul Transfer] technology now.
So actually, it doesn't matter how long they're going to stay here. As long as they can collect all the Infinity Stones and snap their fingers, their mission will be over.
"How's it going, are you still used to it?" Jorry asked Rogers, the future Captain America.
Rogers replied, "It's amazing how you live on a planet like this. ”
"How the hell did you build so many oversized engines?" In the future, Iron Man Tony is more focused on the planetary engine outside, "The practicality is simply outrageous, I can't imagine how much engineering is this." ”
Qiao Lu smiled and said, "Actually, at first, we just made this decision out of desperation. Under the crisis of the imminent outbreak of the helium flash of the sun, the world devoted its efforts to build tens of thousands of planetary engines on the surface of the earth, and finally succeeded in escaping the solar system after paying huge sacrifices. ”
"It's not going to be easy." Rogers said.
Although Jolu was putting it lightly, Rogers could still imagine how much courage it would take to make this plan a reality, and the sacrifices that would have to be made behind it.
The completion of the Wandering Earth is by no means an easy task, and it must be achieved by the efforts of countless people.
Such a great achievement is simply unimaginable in their world.
But Qiao Lu shook his head and said, "If that's all the time, we're just enduring a long wandering in the universe. The real change happens in people's mindsets. ”
"Our race has undergone a movement of ideological emancipation, and people have gone from the beginning to think that the earth is a crumbling ship that will be abandoned sooner or later. So far, it has changed to us moving forward with our homeland and building the Wandering Earth into a large rear across countless planes. It is only then that we have truly begun to focus on improving people's livelihood, reviving humanistic thought, and returning to the golden age of human civilization. ”
The memories of the Wandering Earth that Qiao Lu said could not be experienced by the four members of the Avengers in the endgame.
But what lies ahead of them is indeed a vibrant planet. Compared to the endgame Marvel Universe in which they are still immersed in the pain of the past, the Wandering Earth has stepped out of the shadow of the past and has begun to actively strive for the revival of human civilization.
From the development of science and technology to humanistic thought, the Wandering Earth has made everyone in the Endgame Avengers feel extremely envious.
This is a resolute human civilization that can stand no matter what blows it suffers, and can be revived again at the slightest opportunity!
"If only we could do it too." Rogers couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that we are all destined to not be able to move forward. ”
"That's because you still have a chance to redeem it." Qiao Lu said bluntly.
"So let's get back to business, you need to collect all six Infinity Stones, the Space Gem and the Mind Gem are already in hand, and now there are four left."
Jolu asked Moss to project images of the Cosmic Cube and Loki's Scepter onto the screen in the reception room, both of which are currently being studied by scholars at the Central Academy of Sciences.
"In addition to the other four time stones, which are still on Earth, the other three are on the other side of the universe, and they may have been targeted by Thanos, so it is best for us to get them after we have a certain space combat capability."
Since the timeline of this world has been completely disrupted, it is not certain that the remaining four Infinity Stones will still appear in the same way.
If you want to compete for these Infinity Stones, you have to be mentally prepared to confront Thanos head-to-head in advance.
Time does not allow the use of the Wandering Earth to do this.
Jolu continued, "As for the last Time Stone, we can't take it now, but wait until a few years later when Doctor Strange and Dormammu have negotiated terms before borrowing it. So this plan will take at least a few years, are you all mentally prepared? ”
Rogers added, "The other two teams will also travel back in time in a few years, and it's good that we can meet them up and return to our timeline together." ”
Banner also nodded in agreement: "I'm particularly worried about Hawkeye and Black Widow, based on the characteristics of the soul gem, there is a good chance that one of them will sacrifice himself to obtain the gem, and we had better be able to stop this." ”
"So we're decided?" Ant-Man Scott asked, looking around.
At this time, Iron Man Tony, who had already married and had a daughter, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Anyway, I didn't really leave them for a few years, for them, I was only away for a few hours." Well, I'm joining. ”
Jolu said to him, "Don't worry, Tony. We're going to develop technology to prolong your life, so you won't be turned into an old man and go back to see your daughter. ”
"It couldn't be better."
In this way, the four members of the Endgame Avengers also officially joined the Wandering Earth and reached an agreement with Qiao Lu to contribute to the Wandering Earth on the condition of collecting the Infinity Stones.
Of course, the most valuable thing to the Wandering Earth is the black technology they have mastered. For example, Tony's nanoarmor, Banner's gamma ray research, and even Scott can provide some help for the research of the Wasp suit.
As for Captain America, Rogers, I'm afraid that he only has the role of providing a super soldier serum sample, and Qiao Lu basically doesn't need him to go on a mission.
Of course, if he strongly requested it, Qiao Lu didn't mind taking him to other worlds.
And the most important thing is to develop a powerful human space fleet in the future as soon as possible, and then return to the Marvel Universe to compete for the remaining three Infinity Stones distributed in the universe.
This requires a long-term plan.
