Chapter 336: S: Glorious Event (16)
In a space filled with white mist, a very abrupt building rises from the ground, it looks like Xavier Genius School, but it is different, Xavier Genius School is basically made of dark red red bricks, and here it has become dark blue, other than that, most of the structure is the same.
Looking through the window of this color-changing version of Xavier's School for the Gifted and Young, the scene inside is astonishing.
It was not surprising that Iceman, Naughty and Stormgirl were here, as they were members of Xavier's school, but the rest of Polaris, Twinkle, Quicksilver and others were supposed to be closer to the Mutant Brotherhood, but they were also sitting in the classroom at this time.
Even more surprisingly, it wasn't Jean Grey or Professor X standing on the podium, but Stark.
Stark stood on the podium with Bruce Banner next to him, Stark stroked the corners of his eyebrows, looked at the students below, and sighed deeply.
At this moment, Professor X walked in, and the Iceman saw him stride into the classroom, his eyes widened, and then his expression returned to calm as if he had reacted.
Professor X walked over to the podium and glanced at the students below, most of the students who had graduated from Xavier's School for the Gifted Teenagers were sitting fairly upright, and the rest of the thorns from the Mutant Brotherhood were talking to each other.
Professor X cleared his throat and said, "Just as I said in your dream before, welcome to the mutant school. ”
Polaris rolled his eyes wide, as if he was about to say something, but before he could speak, Stark said, "yes, school, I wish this place could make you bunch of garbage smarter, even if it goes from negative to zero, I'm going to thank God." ”
His words are very straightforward, and his tone is also very impulsive, it stands to reason that the mutants who followed Magneto are not good-tempered, but this time, a few people led by Polaris just made a breath sound from their noses, hugged their arms, and didn't say anything.
And what all this is going on, why they have this attitude, has to start from three days ago.
After Captain America's Security Council speech, Nick was given the most power during the special period, and as a result, Project Radiance was officially launched.
Before the official launch of this project, the scientists, represented by Banner, Connors and Stark, as well as foreign aid Reed, had already made most of the preparations and only waited for the field visit.
But the problem lies in this field trip.
Going to Mercury is not like going to the moon and finding something to bring people to, Stark has a mech that can move in the universe, and he has one for Banner, who is also going with him.
This armor is resistant to high and low temperatures, providing vital information, which ensures that they can move freely on Mercury.
But these are not enough, the cosmic environment is unpredictable, and entering the universe is accompanied by great dangers, in order to ensure the safety of this precious scientist no matter what situation he encounters, there are several mutants who follow them to Mercury.
Polaris, Iceman, Shockwave and Flash, these four mutants can be said to be very powerful, and several of them have their own abilities, including the ability to deal with almost all dangers, it stands to reason that such a combination of mind and strength should not have much problem landing on Mercury.
Originally, they had expected it this way, and the first half of the plan to log into Mercury went smoothly, and the mage opened a portal to send them to the surface of Mercury.
But the landing site is still a certain distance from Mercury's South Pole pole, they need to walk over, at this time, the ability to flicker can come in handy, her ability is to bring people to teleport, better than the portal is that the landing point is very accurate, and does not require cast time, it is very suitable for dealing with some dangers that need to be quickly dodged.
Stark's original plan was for the mages to open the portal at a distance from the South Pole, and they could also survey the Mercury landscape along the way, gather enough information, and then teleport them to the pole by the blinker.
But when the information was collected and Stark asked Flicker to take them to teleport, Flicker asked a very soulful question: "...... Where is the South Pole? ”
Stark's eyes widened, and he asked, "The pole, it's the South Pole, don't you know?" ”
"Of course I know the South Pole, I've been to the South Pole of the Earth, the penguins there are quite cute, but this is not the Earth, how do I know where the South Pole is?"
Stark opened his mouth for a moment, and in his opinion, it was a very simple question, just need to know the orbit of Mercury and the inclination of rotation.
He wanted to open his mouth to explain the flicker, but as soon as he thought about it, in order to explain the orbit of revolution and the inclination angle of rotation, he had to talk about revolution and rotation, and if he wanted to talk about revolution and rotation, he had to start with the gravitational field, and if he wanted to talk about the gravitational field, he had to mention the four basic forces......
In an instant, this knowledge passed through Stark's mind, he glanced at the sun close at hand, felt the heat coming from the mecha, looked at Polaris helplessly and said, "Your ability is to control magnetism, right?" Mercury has a global magnetic field, and you can find the north and south poles by following the magnetic induction lines, you find the south pole, and then let her take us there. ”
Polaris closed her eyes, and after a few seconds, she said, "I found it." ”
Then several mutants looked at each other, and Polaris asked, "How should I describe to you the spot I found?" ”
Stark covered his forehead, but Banner was more patient, and said, "Do you know the positioning method?" We can take one of the simpler ......"
“…… What is the positioning method? ”
Banner looked at Polaris and said, "It's the point positioning method, don't you know?" It's about finding three points......"
As soon as Banner wanted to explain, he thought that if you want to talk about what is the three-point positioning method, you must first talk about what a triangle is, and if you want to talk about what a triangle is, you have to mention trigonometric identities and trigonometry, and when you mention trigonometric identities, you have to talk about trigonometric functions......
Banner sighed as well, he looked at Flicker and said, "Even if we give you a complete map now, you won't be able to locate it, will you?" ”
"Actually, there is another way, you just need to give me a direction, and then I will take you to teleport little by little, which will definitely pass by the South Pole, because the planet is round." Flicker shrugged his shoulders and said.
Stark was suffocating, and if there's one thing he's learned from his initial landing, it's to never pin your hopes on someone else, especially a mutant.
But I have to say that the scintillation proposed is also a method, the limit of the scintillation teleportation ability is the distance from the earth to the moon, and the diameter of Mercury is only two-fifths of the earth, so even if it is a teleportation, it does not take too long to circle once, and as long as a certain landing point is close to the south pole, the North Star will sense, and then they can land at the south pole......
But Stark never dreamed that he would need to use brute-force methods to determine a position.
The group of people in the flicker belt worked for a long time, and finally landed at the South Pole, and at this time Banner and Stark were a little dizzy, they were still ordinary humans, and they were a little motion sick for fast teleportation.
But at the end of the day, it's the destination, and at this time, it's the shockwave's turn to come into play, and there is a crater at the south pole of Mercury, where the shockwave needs to make a tunnel downward, and then explore downward.
The reason why it is not a machine to do this work is because the density of Mercury is very high, and if you want to go deep underground, you can only use vibranium or Edman alloy for exploration bits, and the loss will be very large, in order to save money for the earth, Stark still chooses mutants who do not need to cost.
But it turns out that there is nothing in this world that does not have to pay a price, and the ability of the shockwave is indeed very strong, he can move freely in the universe without wearing a mecha at all, and he can also absorb the energy of the sun and convert it into a shockwave.
The only problem was that he couldn't read the survey drawn by Stark, he flew into the air with the surveying map, looked at the drawing, looked at the ground again, looked at the drawing again, looked at the ground again, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't do anything, but flew back and asked Stark: "Why don't you have a crater on your drawing?" ”
"No craters? …… Isn't that here? Stark walked over and pointed to the drawings and said, "Look here, do you see this string of data?" Thou shalt ...... according to this."
"What is this string of data? …… What is it? ”
"This is the scale, see the point I drawn? You're going to make a perfect circle at a scale of 1:1000, and you're going to have to make a tangent here that is only half deep, and here's ......"
Half an hour later, the shockwave flew back into the air, and then shot a scorching ray shockwave with his arm, Stark stood on the surface of Mercury with his hands on his hips, looked at the pattern on the ground, and shouted as he watched: "Stop! You drew it wrong!! What's that in your hand? That's the drawing, according to the drawing!! ”
"I'm here according to the drawings!!" Shockwave shouted.
"But I want a perfect circle, what shape did you cut? Slices of bread?! ”
"But I'm manually controlled, how can it be so accurate?!"
Half an hour later, Stark and Banner sighed again, and Banner helped Stark on the shoulder and said, "That's it, it's just preliminary exploration anyway, and it's already okay to get to the bottom of the crater." ”
Stark didn't say anything, and walked towards the pit created by the shockwave.
The shockwave opened a hole in the middle of the crater, and when the flasher teleported several people down, Bruce screamed and sat directly on the ground, because there was a bulge in the place where he landed, and he tripped him directly.
Stark looked back, he sighed again, and said to Shockwave, "Don't you know the importance of safe work?" ”
Before Shockwave could retort, Stark said, "Come on, make a tunnel through this." ”
Then he turned around again, dragged the iceman over, and said, "When he makes a bunch of tunnels, you use your ice-making abilities to create support structures to prevent the tunnel from collapsing." ”
Stark took out the drawings again, and this time, before the iceman could say anything, Stark glanced at the drawings himself, then threw them back, and said, "Forget it, you can't read it anyway, in short, he made a tunnel, and you make something to prop up this tunnel so that we can get in." ”
"Okay, no problem." The Iceman nodded.
The shockwave sent out a thin ray and began to slowly dig a tunnel, and a tunnel appeared in front of several people.
The iceman crouched down and touched the ground with his hand, and in an instant, the ice spread along the tunnel, at which point Banner stopped his next move and said, "You can't do this kind of support structure, it will collapse if you go any further, according to structural mechanics, you have to make a support point here, and here, here you need to be load-bearing......"
Although the iceman didn't understand, he had a better temper than the others, and he did what Banner said, and after several hours of delay, they finally walked into the tunnel.
Then it's time to repeat the process, with Stark searching for possible ice under Mercury while documenting the rock formations underneath.
After running in for a long time, the few people finally cooperated well, but just as Banner and Bruce were collecting data in an underground cavern, a fierce quarrel broke out between the three of Shockwave Polaris and Iceman.
Not long ago, they had a fight, and if it weren't for the temporary agreement between Charles and Magneto to let them come over on a mission together, the three of them would still be in a cold war.
Needless to say, what will happen if several people from the Cold War are forcibly pinched together, Shockwave suspects that the Iceman is priing his corner, Polaris feels that the Shockwave is completely vexatious, and the Iceman is upset for Polaris, and the Shockwave feels that the two have betrayed him......
Stark was collecting rock samples there to collect them, when he heard a "boom" behind him, and then the icicles that supported the underground structure began to collapse layer by layer, and in an instant, a flash appeared next to the two of them, and they were teleported to the surface with a "whoosh".
At the moment when they sat down on the ground, there was a loud rumbling sound in the center of the crater in front of them, and with a "boom", the entire center of the crater collapsed......
Shockwave, Polaris, and Iceman crawled out in disarray, faced with Stark's blackened face.
