Chapter 1023 Despicable Earthlings
Eleni and her comrades came to the solar system with great enthusiasm. In this small solar system there is a legendary civilization called Earth.
Legend has it that this earth is barren in resources and backward in technology. It is an unremarkable civilization in all aspects. It is said that it took tens of thousands of years to evolve from the stone civilization to the primary cosmic civilization. This evolutionary time period is much higher than most can reach the level of the universe civilization population.
It can be said that the earth itself is not a planet suitable for the development of advanced civilization. Because there is a lack of natural high-grade isotopes on this planet. Without high-grade isotopes, powerful energy sources cannot be produced.
The development of civilization is inseparable from energy. The biggest feature of civilization's transformation from beast form to primary primitive civilization is learning to use fire. When a certain kind of energy conversion is mastered, this is the prelude to civilization.
Even the basic isotope of helium-3 is lacking on the earth, and it is almost impossible to develop a civilization in the universe without high-grade isotopes. Because aerospace energy alone is enough to block the development of civilization.
And it is such a barren planet, such a civilization, and now it is actually developing in the direction of cosmic civilization. This is so amazing.
If there is anything that can explain the magic of all this, Irene, the Ten Commander of the Nova Corps, will definitely tell others her answer: it is entertainment, and it is entertainment that makes this civilization so vibrant.
Those forces who demand hope in despair, praise the brightest side of human nature, and look directly at the darkest side of human nature. Earth civilizations are looking at themselves in their unique way.
Despair has never really knocked anyone down, and war has never really destroyed anyone. On the devastated ruins, an old luthier brought a violin salvaged from his home and stood on the ruins to play.
The beautiful timbre of the violin contrasts sharply with the scars left by the war. Even knowing that from now on, life will become extremely difficult. But there will still be people who stand up and shout at others: Do it again! Again! We will not be knocked down! We can stand up again.
Maybe not in words, not in speeches. They use music, movies, games, novels, and paintings. Earth civilization is motivating itself in every way they can think of.
People on Earth are so good at comforting themselves, they use these methods to spend one dark day after another. Even in the cruelest wars, there are still people singing loudly.
Such a civilization is fascinating and interesting. They create so many amazing things. Because of the shortage of various materials, the earth civilization must try its best to use all methods to transform the resources it only uses.
Just like milk, such a simple raw material, people on earth have transformed it into different foods such as cream, cheese, condensed milk, yogurt and so on. And in these seemingly simple transformations, more changes have been made with different collocations. Xingjue said that there are hundreds of varieties of cheese on the earth, and they all have different tastes and emphasis.
With different flavors added, yogurt can also take on a completely different look. Cream can be used to make cakes and ice cream, etc., and condensed milk can be used as a dip and filling for various sweets.
An extremely simple milk is ever-changing in the hands of people on earth. The same goes for rice. The seemingly simple rice can be transformed into various desserts and salty foods.
Eleni still can't forget that after eating rice noodles and rolling with donkeys, Gamora told her that the raw materials of these things are actually similar things (glutinous rice is also rice).
This made Eleni and her colleagues more and more interested in the earth. They really wanted to see what the civilization that invented it all looked like.
Barren land will give birth to two civilizations. One is just muddling along, and finally died howling and helpless in the barrenness. Another is to try every trick to make the originally barren life colorful. It's like making a bowl of noodles in a hundred different ways.
Earth civilization is obviously the latter. So such a civilization is very attractive to the Nova Corps. There are not many such colorful civilizations in the galaxy civilization, and they need to be protected. It's like people on earth protecting giant pandas.
With the eagerness to visit giant pandas, Irene and others finally came to the solar system. Out of basic courtesy to Big Bear...cough...earth civilization, Xingjue said that he would contact the earth civilization first.
So Xingjue contacted the earth civilization (Illuminati) with everyone's entrustment and expectation.
For Li Jie, the arrival of Star Lord and Nova Corps couldn't be better. Because I just promised the Chitauri people, if they catch the Earl of Skuru, I will cease fire or something.
It would not be good for my image if I went back on my word like this and broke my promise to gain weight. After all, he is still a respectable person.
And now that the Nova Corps is out, it couldn't be better! I promised the Chitauri to cease fire, but the Nova Corps didn't agree!
The Chitauri are space pirates, and the Nova Corps are space police! Isn't it natural for the police to catch pirates? Why bother to do it yourself, just leave the professional work to professional people to do it.
So Li Jie said to Xingjue and the Nova Corps: "The Chitauri are currently on Saturn, and they are temporarily trapped by me. Wait a while before I send a signal."
Why wait a while? Because the Chitauri are struggling to capture Count Skrull. Everyone in the Illuminati, including Li Jie, the Skrull, discussed it and decided to arrest him alive. Maybe it will be useful in subsequent actions against the Skrulls (whether it is diplomacy or war).
And a boat full of alive Skrulls! For Dr. Fantastic Richards, this is the best research material. Even if I take some to slice and study, I don't feel bad. It is most important for Dr. Richards to develop a genetic agent specifically for the Skrulls as soon as possible.
After experiencing arduous resistance and breakout, the Skrull spaceship led by Lai Jia was officially captured by the Chitauri. And the Chitauri also kept their promise and sent the Skrull spaceship as a gift to Li Jie's fleet. (The spaceship's armaments were all dismantled, and the engine was also destroyed)
Chitauri's general sent a message to Li Jie: "Dear general of the earth civilization, do you think that our sincerity is sufficient?"
After Li Jie received the Skrull spaceship, he immediately sent a Yamato mixed fleet to escort the spaceship. As for General Chitauri's questioning, Li Jie said generously: "Very satisfied, I have seen your sincerity."
"Shall we go then?" General Chitauri said hopefully.
Li Jie was noncommittal: "Of course, please do as you please. But remember not to come to the solar system again in the future."
"Of course, of course!" The current space pirates have no integrity at all, and the general nodded his head.
However, just as General Chitauri nodded his head and was about to lead the fleet away with joy, suddenly a burst of powerful leap energy came.
Then there was a voice that made the Chitauri terrified: "Chitauri, I am Irene, the tenth captain of the Nova Corps. Now you have been surrounded by the Nova Corps, and I order you to surrender immediately. Otherwise, you will be killed!"
Looking at the Nova Corps that suddenly appeared, and the Earth Fleet resting for a while to recharge their batteries. General Chitauri suddenly understood something.
He slapped the armrest of his seat angrily, and cursed fiercely: "Despicable earthlings! You will die a terrible death!"
And at this time, Chitauri's general received a subpoena from Li Jie again. He didn't know why this despicable earthling still had the face to subpoena him.
Li Jie's message: "I'm sorry, the Nova Corps sent a request to help capture you. As a member of the Galactic Civilization, we still need to cooperate with the Nova Corps. Therefore, we may still have to go to war. But I swear, I really didn't do it voluntarily!" What Li Jie said was true.
General Chitauri just felt that there was a mouthful of old blood that he couldn't spit out or swallow, and felt extremely uncomfortable.
