Chapter 1999: U: Beyond the Great Event (88)
Schiller was in a huge temple at this time.
Although it is a shrine, it is more like a functional residence built by modern people, but with the addition of some temple style, various decorations and walls are also depicted with ancient symbols and characters.
In the center of the temple was a huge pillar of crystal, the kind of red crystal that Stark had found underground, but it was much larger than the underground crystal, and the red light was much more dazzling.
Surrounding the red crystal at this time is a technological device that looks like a modern invention, with a blue glass cover covering the crystal, and above and below is an energy extraction device connected to the ceiling and floor.
Schiller knew the story of the Herveys before anyone else.
When Schiller got the first totem pole fragment, he found that the words and symbols on it were not simple, and they did not seem to be the common words of primitive civilizations at all, but were highly abstracted and generalized, which means that the civilization that made such totems must have been highly developed a long time ago.
Schiller knows that in the vast universe, human beings are quite young civilizations, and people often say that human civilization has just come out of the cradle, but in fact, in the eyes of many highly developed interstellar civilizations, human beings who still need to rely on the resources of the earth are completely in the womb of their mothers.
But this is not the case with this civilization that calls itself the Hewes, who have already built developed cities and mature civilized societies millions of years ago.
As several others speculated, the Hewes were a highly developed magical civilization, or energy civilization, that had been blessed by the heavens since birth.
Just like the oil that humans possess, there is something called the Hewe Crystal beneath the surface of the Mother Hervey, the red crystal in front of Schiller.
But unlike oil, the energy provided by this crystal is naturally symbiotic with the life born on this planet, and the Hewei people can replenish their physical strength through the energy in the crystal, and the crystal powder can be widely added to food and beverages, and can also be used in industrial manufacturing, medicine, and even agriculture.
Schiller looked at the people who had jumped down the ceiling and had come to the temple and said, "What a lucky civilization that discovered the aether element at the beginning of their science. ”
Both Iron Man and Batman know what he is referring to, the aether element is a universal material and energy conceived by philosophers in ancient times, in short, everything that cannot be observed and used is the aether element, which is both a reactive element and a medium, the highest manifestation of all elements, and their basis.
During his investigation, Lord Batman did not see the natural manifestations of the Hervay Crystal, but he did see a sample in the research institute and found the basic theory describing the crystal in a school.
"But it's not normal." Stark spoke: "There may be civilizations that are more fortunate to find more universal energy sources or materials on their home planet, but they will never be so perfect and compatible, which is not in line with the laws of natural evolution. ”
Lord Batman turned his head to look at Stark, he found that Stark's tone was very firm, as if he had really done an investigation, Loki also nodded and said: "Since I became an adult, I have been roaming the universe with the father of the gods, and those high-level interstellar civilizations are all lucky and have a pretty good start. ”
"But no civilization has found a truly perfect, all-powerful source of natural energy and materials, and even if there are those that can barely be called all-powerful, it is unimaginably difficult to mine."
"It's not surprising to have the perfect materials and energy." Bai Can also spoke: "But they already had perfect energy millions of years ago, how can the current civilization develop similar to that of humans?" There is no record of them exploring alien planets on this planet. ”
"That's exactly the problem." Lord Batman lowered his eyes and said: "I have checked the research report of this crystal, its energy storage efficiency is extremely high, and it does not even need any artificial adjustment and compression, just put it in the rocket, it is enough for the rocket to fly to Mars." ”
Eddie was stunned for a moment and then said, "Fog? ”
Everyone looked at him, and Eddie sighed and said, "I didn't look for clues, and I won't study it, but Venom told me that the fog is not a natural phenomenon, and that the elements of the fog are connected in a special way, like a web woven with chains." ”
"I think you've guessed it." Schiller smiled and said, "The fog intercepts everything that has the power of the Hewei Crystal. ”
"Dense fog is also not a natural formation." Bruce sighed and began to pace around the crystal in the center of the temple, saying as he went, "Whether it is the red crystal or the dense fog that blocks the energy of the red crystal, it is all artificially dropped. ”
At that moment, Thor let out an "um" as if remembering something, and the others looked at him as well.
After a brief recollection, Thor said, "Do you know how the Kree and the Skrulls fought? ”
None of the people from the other universes in the room knew who he was referring to, so Thor chose to start from the beginning.
"The Old Skruls, who were not yet an empire at that time, could be called interstellarists, who sowed the seeds of life in the universe and selected potential civilizations to support."
"But this kind of thing is a gamble of luck in itself, and if it is not a civilization that is supported, it will definitely develop well, and the resources that can be given back to the old Skrulls are also limited, and after millions of years, their resources will also be reduced."
"At that time, they had their eyes on the Cree and another civilization, but they only wanted to help one of them, so they asked each of them to build a building, and whoever built it well would help him."
"In the end, the civilization other than the Kree won, but they are already living on the same planet, and one of the civilizations will inevitably destroy the other if they are helped, and the Kree will start a war in advance in order to survive, and they also turn against the Skrulls, which is the prelude to the millennium war."
"And what I want to say is that the Skrulls have done more than this, many times they don't tell the terrestrial civilizations that they are aliens and want to help them, but in another form of divine revelation, so that the backward civilizations can get resources."
"According to their own words, this is to adapt to the development mode of various civilizations, those who believe in God give oracles, those who have just begun scientific development create accidents, and those who have been more advanced communicate rationally, which is more reasonable in theory, but in practice it is not so beautiful."
"Some civilizations regard this as a natural phenomenon that will always occur, so they rely too much on resources from heaven, resulting in long-term backwardness in energy and materials science; Some civilizations are greedy enough, and after developing, they follow the passage of resources to find the Skrulls and want more. ”
"The later Skrulls were unable to support a large amount of exported resources, so they had to start harvesting the civilization that had developed, which made the locals complain."
"And there are some people among the Skrulls who find that the civilizations that once regarded them as gods have little complaint and no big trouble when they are harvested, so they treat these civilizations even more madly for their own gain."
"I've heard from an old man in Skrull that in the later stages, they will treat a planet as farmland entirely, leave behind a few machines, and brainwash the leaders of the indigenous creatures directly, let them command their men to operate the machines to mine resources, and then give away the things on the planet."
"For the entire Skrull Empire, this resource is nothing, but if it goes into the pockets of individuals, it is also a considerable wealth, and some people even use it to cut off the king, and it is even more exploitative, which once triggered a large-scale condemnation from the interstellar society."
In the end, Thor threw out his own conclusion: "I suspect that the planet where the Hewee people are located is one of the farmlands of the higher civilizations. ”
The two Batmen present and the off-screen Batman frowned, not because of how amazing the conclusion Thor said, but mainly because the big man didn't feel that his painting style was a little wrong, right?
At this time, Thor was still dressed as a god-king, and because he was attending the festival before coming, he was dressed up in an exaggerated manner.
The soft armor of bright silver and bronze was draped in a dark blue robe, and on top of the robe was a cloak inlaid with various colored gems, and on his head he wore a crown inlaid with various gems, and his blonde hair was braided, and between the strands of his hair were inlaid with ornaments made of shells.
"You look like a king of a classical kingdom that will appear in a medieval oil painting, is there something wrong with the interstellar civilization full of mouths?"
Thor and Loki seemed to be very comfortable with this prejudice, and Loki sighed and said, "Why do humans always think that the Protoss should appear in the mythological books, and their daily work is to nest in a temple on a certain mountain and wait for humans to make a wish?" ”
"The Protoss, who is born with strong energy and can call the wind and rain, according to common sense, will also have a more developed civilization and a higher interstellar social status than humans, take 10,000 steps back and say, at least we live longer, we should always be more advanced, right?"
"Because the Protoss of our universe really doesn't do anything serious." Lord Superman snorted coldly and said, "I have heard Diana complain about the things on Mount Olympus, except for who had a child with whom, and it was this child who came to them when he grew up. ”
"So you're also a developed interstellar civilization?" Bruce asked, raising an eyebrow.
Loki nodded and said, "I'm sorry, but we do have a fleet of starships, planetary supply bases and stellar power sources all over the universe, and all kinds of charged armor and weapons. ”
"And what about humans?" Lord Batman asked with a frown.
He was actually asking, if there is such a powerful civilization around the earth, then what space does human beings have to live?
Loki and Thor glanced at each other, their eyes falling on Schiller and Stark, respectively.
"Although I am very reluctant to say this, but you humans are really a very magical race, ninety-nine percent of your members are weak and not worth mentioning, and you always think about infighting, but there is always such a one percent outrageous existence, not only strong enough, but also extraordinarily united."
Thor also sighed lightly and said, "As long as your race can continue to have exceptionally strong people, it will be more beneficial than disadvantageous for us to protect, help, and even feed you." ”
"Even if there is a strong man in 10,000 years, the nine kingdoms can fiercely brush their sense of existence between the stars, and let those who are ready to move weigh it, which can well contribute to Asgard's prestige."
"Especially ......" Thor hesitated, then glanced at Schiller again, and then said, "The strong men of humanity are always exceptional...... It's hard for me to say, but all portals between interstellar societies now have to go through two more security checks if they detect humanoids. ”
"And it's all because of ......"
Schiller and Loki instantly raised their hands to each other.
