The walkie-talkie in Tony Stark's hand was not the usual structure of a plastic case with metal parts inside.

Instead, the walkie-talkie's irregular ellipsoidal shape, with its pitch-black carapace covered in tiny gray bumps, looks like a growing and malformed coconut or a clump of arthropod insects.

Everyone in the basement was a little stunned, and the reason why they were able to recognize this "thing" was not because they knew the pearls, but because on the chitinous carapace of the ellipsoid, a long and wide white tape was pasted on it, and the words "walkie-talkie" were written on it.

"I found this item from a museum in Egypt, an ancient civilization that is said to be the birthplace of S.H.I.E.L.D., with a legacy of a prehistoric civilization."

As Tony Stark spoke, he skillfully placed the coconut-shaped walkie-talkie on the table, inserted a tool plier into a gap in the walkie-talkie, pried open a chitin carapace, and pulled out a maroon hose like an intestine from under the carapace, "This thing can be connected to a private channel on an alien planet using an unrecognized principle of faster-than-light instant communication..."

With that, under the horrified gazes of everyone in the basement, Tony Stark took a deep breath, his face turned the color of pig liver, and he stiffened his scalp, and jerked the maroon hose into his ear, while his fingers trembled and pressed back and forth on the gray spots of the ellipsoidal carapace - like operating a dial telephone from an old movie.

“hat the fuck？”

Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards almost knocked his jaw off, and Tony Stark, who has always presented himself as a suave playboy, would go so disregard for his image and insert a flesh-colored hose like a pig's intestine into his ear (and according to visual inspection, the length of the insertion is not short).

And Dr. Doom couldn't help but glance at Tony more, some of this Iron Man - think about it, if there is no turn for the better, Tony Stark is likely to be liquidated by the school city afterwards and put in an underground prison, and when the time comes, it will not be a maroon hose in Mr. Stark's body.....

Everyone looked different, but Iron Man himself didn't bother to pay attention, he resisted the swelling in his ears, and waited nervously for the sound to come from the walkie-talkie.

Finally, after nearly half a minute of waiting, the walkie-talkie was turned on, and an extremely lazy male voice came from the maroon hose, "Who?" ”

"I'm Tony Stark,"

Iron Man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with relief and said, "Peter, I need your help. ”

Peter?

The basement was unfamiliar to all of the people in the basement, and the elite scavenged through their brains to find out what to do with a superhero named "Peter" in their memories.

"Is it Spider-Man Peter Parker?"

Mr. Fantastic thought to himself: "But little Peter took refuge in the school city camp early because of the nepotism of his friend Deadpool - even if he didn't, what role could a juggler who could just bounce back and forth between high-rise buildings play in this kind of level of confrontation?"

Not to mention that the sound doesn't quite resemble ....."

Unbeknownst to Mr. Fantastic, Tony Stark calls Peter, whose full name is Peter Jason Quayle, was born in a small town called "South Park" in Colorado, USA.

Peter Quayle's mother's name is Meredith Quayle, and decades ago, she fell in love with a sudden, charismatic out-of-town traveler. However, the good times did not last long, and after a brief relationship, the traveler mysteriously disappeared, leaving Meredith, who was already pregnant, and disappeared from the world.

In fact, the out-of-town traveler was not a Beatles youth chasing freedom as he claimed, but a projection of the consciousness of a planet far away from the galaxy.

The individual will of that ancient planet, named Ego, was born at the beginning of eternity, and has wisdom and power that ordinary people cannot match.

In order to fulfill his wish to assimilate the universe, Ego tries to give birth to a child of the same origin as himself who can use the power of the planet to help him fulfill his dream.

But the stronger, more perfect individual life is, the more difficult it is to give birth to a baby, even on a genderless planet.

Ego was unable to create a successor who could inherit his power alone, so he had no choice but to use the power of nature's magic - heterosis in genetic engineering.

He incarnated as tens of millions, projected his will into most of the living planets in the galaxy, carried out sexual activities with the female creatures on the living planets, and put his "seeds" on those living planets.

Females on different planets, after conception, give birth to extraterrestrial babies with two genetics - Ego uses this exhaustive method to find suitable heirs in the galaxy.

Meredith of Earth is one of these females.

After discovering that she was pregnant, Meredith insisted on giving birth to the child in her womb despite the dissuasion of her relatives and friends, and took care of him as she grew up.

A few years later, Meredith fell ill and died of exhaustion during a long period of chemotherapy, and Peter Quier, who witnessed the death of his birth mother and was still a child, had a nervous breakdown and ran outside the hospital, only to be swept away by a UFO falling from the sky with a traction beam.

The group that kidnapped Peter Quill is a group of marauders led by the alien adventurer "Yongdu Udon Ta" (it can also be understood as a galactic version of the mercenary group,

This mercenary can be transformed into a bounty hunter, treasure collector, scavenger searching for abandoned ships in the stars, an interstellar pirate robbing weak interstellar merchant ships, and a low-end thug hired by a large employer)

Born on the planet Centaur, Yondu took Peter Quill because he accepted the employment of the EGO to find the children left behind by the EGO on different planets in the galaxy and send them back to the EGO.

Yongdu always thought that these children would be well cared for, and he did this kind of kidnapping thing with peace of mind, but he vaguely realized that things were not so simple, and it was very likely that Ego would directly kill those children who did not inherit the "Celestial Talent" and bury them somewhere on the planet Ego.

A conscience-stricken Yondu detains Peter Quair on the Marauders' starship and protects him as an "intern" - although Peter will be bullied by the Marauders, he will not lose his life like this.

However, Peter Quayle, who grew up in a repressive environment, is not grateful to Yongdu, and the latter is also worried that Ego will know the secret, as well as his potential tsundere attribute (?). ), did not tell the truth to Peter Quayle.

In this way, as an adult, Peter Quayll broke away from Yongdu's ship as a marauder, called himself Star-Lord, and gathered a group of like-minded companions to form his own team, called "Guardians of the Galaxy".

(Instead of the old comics, the Marvel Cinematic Universe MCU is used, where Star-Lord has just formed the Guardians of the Galaxy and hasn't had time to confront Ronan, the leader of the Kree Empire and the accuser.) ）

And Tony Stark's ability to communicate with Star-Lord with the help of this ancient machine was also completely coincidental - Iron Man searched the Zetarian database and found that there was an extraordinary being from Earth named Star-Lord active in the galaxy.

Although Star-Lord has not returned to Earth for a long time, Iron Man, who has a sense of admiration for the vast universe, still tried every possible way to contact Star-Lord and set up relationships, trying to use the latter's status as a galactic adventurer to collect intelligence in the vast universe.

Distance produces beauty, this fashionable and only an interstellar gangster, Star-Lord, in the eyes of Iron Man, is a cutting-edge person who can walk the galaxy, and he is in contact with the leaders of some alien races, which is extraordinarily high-end and atmospheric, low-key and luxurious.

From a certain point of view, Tony Stark's mentality at this time is very similar to that of some foreigners, even if the other party is just a group of "foreign garbage" who have crossed the ocean, he does not hesitate to kneel and lick and worship, and worship as a "guest of the kingdom.....

At this moment, in a silent star field thousands of light-years away from Earth, Star-Lord and the small group he had improvised formed, the "Guardians of the Galaxy", were huddled together on a small starship, drifting aimlessly.

The ellipsoidal shape of the ship does not have a lot of space inside, not to mention that there is an Earth male, a tree man, a raccoon, a red-skinned strong man, and a green-skinned hot girl.

If it weren't for the ship's clean air self-circulation system, I'm afraid that the cramped cabin would have been covered with all kinds of body odor from different sources - no way, Star-Lord, who had just come out of the Marauder group, was so poor that he couldn't afford to buy a large ship with enough luxury.

"Tony Stark?"

Star-Lord lay on the fluffy recliner in the cramped command module, chewing on the name, frowning, and said to the communication panel in front of the command module, "Oh, man, it's you, what's the matter?" ”

Although this interstellar adventurer has fond memories of being on Earth, he has not thought much about returning to Earth - after all, this planet brings him only unfortunate memories, so he is also not interested in the activity of recognizing his fellow countrymen.

Iron Man heard the indifference in Star-Lord's words, if he changed to a different person, a different time node, the arrogant Tony would have pressed the phone a long time ago, snorted coldly and turned around and left, who he loved.

But now is not the time to be willful, Tony coughed awkwardly and said directly, "Star-Lord, Earth needs your help. ”

"Uh-huh," Star-Lord stretched lazily and stood up in the slightly cramped starship's command bay, bare-chested, standing under the ship's window and examining his somewhat fat waist and abdomen, trying to figure out the shape of his abs, "Go on, I'm listening. ”

Tony Stark held back his anger and said bluntly, "Do you remember the Leon I told you last time?" We have developed a self-designed, self-evolving, and self-reproducing distributed quantum computing robot to try to compete with Leon.

But that quantum robot is now captured by Leon, and there is no existence on Earth that can stop it....."

Star-Lord was still in a state of interest at first, clasping his belly button in boredom, but after a moment of trance, he suddenly noticed something, pinched his throat and shouted sharply, "Wait! What did you just say? ”

Tony Stark endured the screaming in the maroon hose and said, "Uh.... There is no existence on Earth that can stop Leon? ”

"Previous! Previous sentence! Star-Lord couldn't care about his navel any longer, took a deep breath, and rushed to the communications panel in front of the command module, holding his breath.

“.... We have developed a self-designing, self-evolving, and self-reproducing distributed quantum computing robot? Iron Man glanced at his bewildered companion in the basement and said to Star-Lord with some uncertainty, "Is there something wrong?" ”

......Star-Lord didn't speak, just breathed heavily, clenching his fists as he tried to calm his heaving ribcage.

After a long time, this galaxy adventurer from Earth sat down on the seat of the command module and said bitterly to the communication panel: "There are many things that are wrong, Tony, you really opened a Pandora's box..."

Iron Man was puzzled and said in a deep voice: "I know that Leon, who has a quantum computer, will cause ..... to the earth."

"Root! Root! It's not Leon's problem! Star-Lord yelled into the comm panel, "Do you know what you did? You've built a von Neumann-esque quantum computer that can expand and expand! All carbon-based life civilizations in the entire galaxy will destroy the earth at all costs!

They will drive a star-destroyer that covers the sky and the sun, and in a way that you, an ape-like head, can never imagine, and do everything in every possible way, completely dusting the earth, the solar system, and even every planet in the hundreds of light-years around the solar system!

You goddamn, brainless, goddamn idiot! ”

Star-Lord's roar smashed into Tony's head like a hammer, causing him to freeze in place like a thunderbolt, and it took him a long time before he hurriedly asked, "What??" You make it clear to me, what destroys the earth? ”

“.... You really don't know anything..."

Star-Lord covered his forehead in pain, and said hoarsely word by word to the communication panel, "You know what? In the galaxy, quantum computers are allowed, and von Neumann machines that can replicate themselves are allowed, but when the two are combined, they become a source of evil that no civilization in the galaxy can tolerate.

Quantum computers that can evolve and expand themselves will evolve rapidly at a speed that is unattainable by ordinary races, and eventually turn into a mighty army that will sweep across the entire galaxy, completely crushing all ordinary races!

Hundreds of millions of years ago, a quantum computer civilization expanded from a bird not planet on the periphery of the Southern Cross cantilever to most of the galaxy in just 600 years, successfully destroying most of the civilizations in the galaxy at that time, forcing the remaining races to unite and start a war with the quantum civilization near the silver core of the galaxy.

In the end, the alliance of ordinary civilizations wiped out the quantum cluster at an extremely painful cost, and since then, an iron law has prevailed in the galaxy: any civilization that develops a von Neumann-style quantum computer will be mortally attacked by other civilizations in the galaxy; Any trace of a von Neumann-style quantum computer will be completely erased. ”

Star-Lord's voice became deeper and deeper, and he looked at the dark and gloomy space outside the ship with cloudy eyes, and said hoarsely: "You, no, it's the whole earth, it's going to be finished." ”
