Chapter 1392 Building the City of the Universe
Peter Quill's Papa Smurf Yondu finally relented, but the content of the deal still needs serious negotiation...
Yondu urgently contacted all the contacts he could find, then collected a list of supplies that he could probably provide, and began to rush to Nidvenir...
Alvin definitely doesn't have time to waste with them here...
It would take more than ten days for Yondu to arrive, and it would also take several days to collect information. Alvin still had matters concerning the moon to resolve, and it was impossible to wait here any longer.
This deal may take half a year or even a year to be completed completely, because the "Dark Star" is too big and Yondu's spaceship is too small.
Stark was happy to delay a little time so that he could have time to refine the internal design of the "Dark Star".
The day after Yondu agreed to the deal, Stark pulled Alvin to open the door and mobilized a scientific team to rush to Nidvinir, and then stationed directly on the "Dark Star".
Their main role is to evaluate the value of items on the "Dark Star" to facilitate future transactions.
Peter Quill was a big help at this point, perhaps because of the 10% trading commission offered by Alvin. Peter Quill, a child raised by interstellar pirates, behaved like a professional broker...
He used the data stored on his spacecraft's computer to help scientists identify the actual value of those materials...
Stark urgently modified a batch of construction robots and sent them to the "Dark Star"...
Their main function is to dismantle a large number of useless mechanical equipment and transform it into something that meets human needs.
By the way, you can also dismantle the entire internal control system and wiring of the "Dark Star"...
Stark seems to be preparing to go to war to completely turn the "Dark Star" into a spaceship for Earth.
Alvin admires this man's magnanimity at work. He won't compromise with you just because you are more senior than me...
That "you have to adapt to me" attitude makes Alvin look forward to the "Dark Star" which will take who knows how long it will take to complete...
Out of guilt that he couldn't help much, Alvin pulled Raymond over again. By the way, he was also planning to ask Jordan Beckford and Paxton to organize a team of accountants to come over and help.
This may be the earth's first super deal with an alien. In any case, the experience involved is very precious.
Jordan Beckford and Paxton are probably also willing to come to Niedervenir and become part of the trading team. This is a big event that can be recorded in history anyway!
After thinking about everything, Alvin said goodbye to Frank and Steve, took Rocket Raccoon and Treeman Groot with him, and prepared to return to Earth together...
Rocket misses Elizabeth, the old lady of Hell's Kitchen, and Groot, the tree man, also wants to see his little brother "Sapling"...
When Alvin was leaving, Stark rushed over and pulled him, saying: "Although I don't want to say it, I suggest you inform Norman Osborn...
Ronan's biochemical laboratory stores a large number of biotechnology achievements...
The Stark Group's main focus is not in this direction. If there is no reliable person to preside over it, those things may end up being wasted. "
As he spoke, Stark shook his head helplessly and said, "I feel very unhappy when I think about letting that old bastard Norman Osborn take advantage..."
Remember the first alien invasion, those alien monster corpses we killed in the dock area?
This old bastard took those corpses back, built a database, and started collecting money from biological research institutes around the world.
He must contribute to the transformation of the Dark Star, otherwise he can only look at the things here..."
Alvin looked at the strange expression on Stark's face. He suddenly whistled and said with a smile: "Mr. Richest Man is starting to feel financial pressure?
Oh, this is a good sign. I am also worried that you will empty out the bottom line of Stark Group and 'Steel Digital'...
I'll go talk to Norman Osborne, he's a friend and I reckon he'd be happy to come here and do his bit. "
As he spoke, Alvin looked at Stark a little uncertainly and said, "Do you think the three of us together can handle this spaceship?
I have seen a rough list of items on the spaceship. To be honest, I don’t think those items are valuable.
Arms, food, medicine, supplies...
You can't even find any luxuries for enjoyment there...
Ronan, that lunatic, looks like a Puritan except for being warlike. "
Stark sighed after hearing this, and said a little helplessly: "So we have to think of other ways.
If we rely solely on the output of the earth, we will definitely not be able to withstand the pressure!
‘Dark Star’ is a cosmic city, and our financial resources cannot support such a large consumption.
Maybe we should build a material trading center in Nidvinir. We can exchange the basic materials of the earth for the metals of the dwarves.
This can save a lot of money..."
After speaking, Stark hesitated and said, "The vendor named Gonzalez in Hell's Kitchen is pretty good...
You can talk to him, you are responsible for opening the door, and he is responsible for transporting those cheap basic supplies to Nidvinir.
He can accomplish these things better than those in the military...
Moreover, the materials provided by the military guys are ‘sponsored’, so we can do business! "
This was the first time Alvin felt Stark's "embarrassment". A super-large ship made the richest man begin to feel the pressure, and he even began to think about how to do business to reduce costs.
But this is a good thing. The sooner the "Dark Star" is put into use, the sooner humans can have a safe base in outer space.
The solar system is very large, and with humanity's current technology, the risk of flying from the Earth to Nidwinir at the edge is extremely high.
Just look at those alien spacecraft that have been heading towards the earth...
His technological level is about the same as Earth's, maybe a little better in some aspects.
But during the long voyage, they suffered huge losses.
Photoelectric telescopes all over the earth have long been focused on them, and almost every day they lose part of them.
Some optimistic guys even think that those alien invaders who are not afraid of death may not be able to fly to the earth at all.
In the future, when humans enter the interstellar age, if there is a cosmic city like the "Dark Star" in the middle for them to dock for maintenance, the risk will be greatly reduced.
Even Asgard can't help with this kind of thing. Their unique magic technology is simply incompatible with human technology.
And they don't have a spaceport...
The current situation is that as long as Nidwinir is guarding the edge of the solar system, no matter any enemy attempts to invade the solar system, the earth will have a buffer time of about a year.
The strategic depth of approximately 15 billion kilometers is enough to deter most enemies!
Seeing the expression on Stark's face that couldn't be told whether it was anxiety or joy, Alvin said funnyly: "Things still have to happen slowly, and this deal will not be completed in a year and a half.
Frank and the others will be stationed here for up to half a year, and they will evacuate as soon as the military finds a rhythm.
I don’t think you need to stay here long..."
After speaking, Alvin thought for a while and said: "One person cannot solve everything...
Maybe you should make a five-year plan and leave professional matters to professionals.
I'm going to talk to Gonzalez, Jordan Beckford and Paxton.
You are right about one thing, relying solely on the earth's output is not enough. We must find a place where we can give ourselves blood transfusions.
Leave these things to me. You just need to figure out the modification plan for the spacecraft, and then hand it over to the scientists under you. That's it.
Little Morgan is still young, and she definitely doesn’t want her daddy to miss her most adorable stage! "
Stark looked at the convoy driving across the space gate, nodded and said: "I will build a supercomputer on the Dark Star.
‘Friday’ will be the future spacecraft main control artificial intelligence...
Within three months I can build a temporary robot production line on the spacecraft. They can modify the spacecraft and maintain themselves at the same time.
After this, I will have time to return to Earth to do other work!
Five years is too long. I want to complete the transformation of Dark Star within three years.
This is a big project that will keep the Stark family in the history of the world, and no one can stop me..."
Alvin has no reason to stop Stark's ambitions, and he will not watch Stark spend all his time on the "Dark Star".
Opening the door for him to visit his relatives is not a problem at all for Alvin now...
Watching the trucks driven by robots on the opposite side of the space gate all drive into the stone forest, Alvin greeted Rocket Raccoon and Treeman Groot, and then made an appointment with Stark to contact him every three days, and then returned through the space gate. Earth.
Raymond entered Niedervenir as a negotiator…
When he passed by Alvin, Raymond was in a great mood and handed a car key to Alvin, claiming it was a gift...
Alvin guessed that this old poisonous snake might have taken advantage of the Night Dragon, or maybe it had taken advantage of Lenore...
After closing the space door with a wave of his hand, Alvin waved hello to the security guards working in the dock area, and then led Rocket Raccoon and Groot into a convertible Bentley with a flashy color...
Feeling the exquisiteness and luxury of Raymond's "gift", Alvin smiled and started the car and sent the rocket to Elizabeth first, and then rushed to the Osborne Building in the center of Manhattan.
The "Dark Star" needs to lure rich people into the water, and this task can only be completed by Alvin.
When passing by Hell's Kitchen, the slutty Alvin attracted everyone's attention.
This may be the reason why Raymond gave Alvin a gift, letting Alvin drive a flashy luxury car around Hell's Kitchen, which was more powerful than any announcement.
Alvin originally wanted to wait until he finished talking to Osborne before returning to the restaurant, but when he passed by, he found Peter and Harry sitting on the steps in front of the restaurant...
Jessica was holding several ice packs and applying them to the shoulders and heads of the two unlucky guys...
