chapter 547: the fiery depths of the solar system (2)
the key to the solar system construction plan lies in the sun, but the difficulty also lies with the sun.
this vibrant and fervent star shines its endless radiance upon all the planets in the solar system, nurturing the civilization of humanity on earth.
however, when it comes to developing the solar system, the brilliance of the sun becomes an insurmountable challenge. on the planets closest to the sun, the scorching heat poses a significant obstacle to humanity's materials science.
so far, almost all of the facilities on mercury base have been constructed underground. after obtaining molten steel, some facilities have been moved above ground, and certain crucial components require manual enchantments by powerful sorcerers to withstand the extreme temperatures.
material science cannot progress overnight. a solid foundation requires patience; otherwise, one might fall into the same predicament as the sulphur dwarfs.
therefore, even a genius like stark finds it challenging to balance speed and quality. now, seeing that the dark elves can completely shield themselves from sunlight with their environmental force fields, his eyes light up with excitement.
stark had equipped the cameras around earth with temperature sensors. the readings on these sensors clearly indicate that the dark elves' force fields not only block light but also regulate temperature.
this technology is something even the great sorcerers of kamar-taj do not possess. after all, the himalayas are not particularly hot, so there's no need for them to create a sunshade to cool themselves. developing such a technology would take at least a decade of research.
however, the dark elves have mastered this skill to create a controlled environment for themselves, not only controlling light within their force fields but also precision temperature regulation.
stark speaks loudly into his communication device, "capture them! we need this technology!"
"who is the person standing at the front of their warship? the one with dark skin and long hair..."
strange is a bit puzzled by stark's sudden excitement, but after stark explains the principle, he sees the reason. so, he instructs the sorcerers who have already rushed over, "don't get too excited! keep them alive! especially the one standing at the front of the first ship. capture him!"
the sorcerer king, who has already arrived near the warship, immediately recognizes the arrogant dark elf standing at the front. he shouts, "malekith!"
malekith turns his head to look at him and the sorcerer behind him. he sneers, "kamar-taj? where's your leader, the ancient one? are there only a few of you left?!"
after shouting malekith's name, the sorcerer king follows up with a deafening command, "step back quickly!"
"swish! swish! swish!"
several massive sword lights shatter the front of the warship, and malekith, standing helplessly at the front, lets out a loud scream as blood spurts from his chest.
the sorcerer king and his sorcerers fly over urgently, reaching out their hands and shouting, "no! schiller! stop! we need to capture him!"
at this moment, strange, who has just arrived above the battlefield, speaks into his communication device, "tony, there seems to be a slight problem with your mercury sunshade..."
"i saw it," stark says with a headache. "stop schiller quickly. let him go after those ships. all we need is the sunshade technology. we can study chitauri and kree spaceships later."
strange can only fly over helplessly and join other sorcerers in restraining schiller, who seems to slice through anything with his moonlight.
meanwhile, in the control room, stark is contemplating. after a while, he contacts loki via telephone. at this moment, lady loki stands on the edge of a planet in the dark realm.
with the speed of a canteen being set up for a meal, he rolled back into schiller's body, then used his hands to support the moonlit schiller at the top of the tower and said, "stop! stop! don't fight anymore. the ancient one is coming to get you!"
moonlit schiller struggled, and the grey mist surrounded him, grabbing his arms, trying to pull him out from khonshu's hold. khonshu had to exert extra effort to suppress the grey mist.
meanwhile, jormungandr coiled on the tower's top and said, "impressive, my pope! kill them all!"
"don't make trouble! come help!"
at that moment, in the real world outside, strange finally arrived next to the ancient one. he said, "no! it's not malekith we need to stop; it's schiller. don't let him kill malekith. where's malekith?"
the ancient one lowered her head, looked at her feet, and indeed, malekith was still alive. her shield was strong enough to withstand the mist's effects, and since the ancient one was close to malekith, her shield extended to him, saving his life.
strange breathed a sigh of relief. when he looked around the battlefield, there was almost nothing left.
everything had been consumed by the grey mist, except for the suppressed light, indicating that the dark elves had once been here, full of momentum. but now, nothing remained.
strange, stark in the control room, and lady loki, who was staring at the magic screen, all let out a sigh.
lady loki was the first to speak to stark, "i don't know whether to say that humanity's civilization is incredibly lucky or incredibly unlucky..."
stark touched his temple and watched as strange began to clean up the wreckage of malekith and the dark elves' fleet.
he sighed and said to loki, "things have come to this point, and everyone is here. if asgard has any enemies in space, bring them here quickly. this is faster than the bifrost."
lady loki also realized the issue, but as an observer, she had a clearer view than stark. she said, "alternatively, if you need science and technology, i can look for corresponding civilizations in space and have them send a fleet to you. that way, everything can be dealt with."
just as stark was about to respond, a call came in on the telephone. when he answered it, he was surprised to hear schiller's voice, which sent shivers down his spine. schiller said to stark in a chilling tone, "we'll settle the accounts later. right now, i have a plan..."
"what are you up to?" stark asked.
"the attraction to counterattack asgard is insufficient. the people who will come are either here to trade with loki, seeking to borrow his power, or they have grudges against asgard. none of them are capable fighters."
"instead, let's spread the word that there's a highly valuable treasure within the nine realms, inviting experts to besiege asgard and overthrow odin's brutal rule. those who can possess the treasure shall rule."
"then block off all other dimensional routes except the one leading from earth to asgard. this way, earth will become a trap."
"of course, calling it a trap doesn't sound very nice. let's call it a space toll station."
"raise the barrier for those who pay the toll, and for those who don't, raise it a few more times or just cut them off."
