Chapter 378 Power Gem
He didn't mention the Rocket Raccoon thing to anyone. The next voyage was relatively quiet. The speed of the Milano was very fast, and the Xandar star was not too far away from the Murag star where the universe spirit ball was stored. Space jumping is not required, and it can be reached quickly by direct normal navigation.
After locking the course, Star-Lord did not need to sit in the driver's seat all the time. After setting up the autopilot, he began to introduce his Milano to everyone.
Although Thor explained to everyone how to take out food and drinks, many things still need to be explained by the Star Lord to know what they do, or how should they be used?
Most of the equipment on the Milano is very advanced, which is why Tony touched around at first, only one item caused him to complain.
"Where did you get this thing? Do you like collecting antiques?"
What made Tony speechless was that the tape played by Star-Lord was full of songs from decades ago, which also allowed Tony to guess the origin of Star-Lord.
Peter, a very common earth name, and listening to earth pop music from decades ago, still uses a tape player.
Of course, this is not the point. What Tony can't accept is that this tape can still be used after so many years!
Ethan was on the side at the time, listening to Tony want to reach out and take off the tape to see if it used some black technology that he didn't understand, otherwise, how could this thing still be flawed after so many years? No songs to play?
In fact, it's not just Tony who wants to complain about this.
This tape is often taken out and played by Star-Lord, and he can also treat it as carefully maintained by Star-Lord. With the various advanced technologies in his hands, it is not difficult to ensure that this tape is free of problems.
What he wanted to complain the most was that at the end of the first part, Star-Lord opened the gift box his mother gave him. The tape had been on it for decades, and it was suspected that it had not undergone any maintenance and maintenance. He could still listen to it. !
"Where are you from?"
"Missouri."
"..."
Tony confirmed that this guy is indeed an earthman, and he was very curious about how Peter Quill came to the universe? Seeing that he used various advanced equipment proficiently, he had obviously lived in the universe for many years, and he still remembered that he was from Missouri, so he should not be too young when he left the earth.
After knowing that Peter Quill was also an earthling, the others were a little less nervous than before, and some of Ethan's partners were familiar with each other, so they quickly chatted together.
After getting along for a while, the relationship between Star-Lord and everyone became a little closer. At the same time, he also knew that the big Thor was not a human being, but a Norse god in the legends of the earth.
"So Norse mythology is actually a group of aliens?"
The Milky Way is so big that Peter Quill has lived in the universe for so many years and doesn't know about Asgard.
"Many so-called myths and legends are the high-level life forms of some high-level civilizations, some deeds left by some backward civilizations."
"After being told this by you, I suddenly feel that those legends have become a bit boring."
If he was just an ordinary earthman, he might think 'it's just as exciting' when he heard that the so-called gods are aliens, but now he is driving a spaceship through the universe, aliens are in his eyes No mystery, he himself is an alien in the eyes of many civilizations.
"The truth of many things is inherently boring."
"You'd better find a place to sit, the environment on this planet is not very good."
After a period of sailing, they finally arrived at their destination, the planet called Morag.
This is a planet that has entered the "end of life", and the civilization that originally existed on it has long been destroyed; or before the planet's climate changed dramatically, it left the planet collectively.
After being reminded by Star-Lord, people like Evelynn who are 'weak' should sit down honestly, or grab something to make sure that they won't get into trouble.
Like Thor and Ethan, they stood calmly next to Star-Lord in the driving seat, watching Star-Lord drive the spaceship into the planet's atmosphere.
Tony also sat in the other driver's seat. He did not control the spacecraft, but used the instruments on the spacecraft to detect the planet's environment.
After staying on the spaceship for so long, he has already figured out the function of most of the facilities on the spaceship, and also knows how to use it, including the driving method of the spaceship. He has also learned almost, but There is no opportunity for practice.
What's more, Tony has also learned the language displayed on the spacecraft. Although he can only understand these words and cannot use this language to conduct conversations by himself, his learning ability is amazing enough.
Through the spacecraft's instruments, Tony had a relatively clear picture of the planet's environment.
"The environment is very bad. At least ordinary people can't go outside directly. If Peter doesn't have enough protective clothing here, we can only wait for him to come back on the boat."
Thor can also understand the above data, he glanced at it and patted Tony's shoulder directly: "It doesn't matter, this environment has no effect on me, I will go with Peter and promise not to go out. any situation."
"You mean you don't need a protective suit?"
"Yes."
Peter looked at Thor again, not sure if this guy was bragging, he was still wearing protective gear before leaving the spaceship-the protective suit on the Star-Lord ship was actually just a metal disc-like object, which was directly attached to the body when used. , then the metal disk releases a layer of energy that protects the user.
This protective device has no restrictions on the user's clothing and does not affect the movement, which is very convenient.
Seeing that this thing works so well, plus there are several on the boat, Tony can't sit still a bit.
However, he was stopped by Ethan. The environment of this planet is not stable. There may be strong winds, earthquakes, and ground fissures at any time. High-pressure water columns will be ejected from the cracks. Strong creatures, this environment is not suitable for Tony to go out without armor, even if there are protective devices, it cannot guarantee Tony's safety.
"I think you underestimate me too much."
"No, this planet has nothing to see, and we won't stay here for too long. Thor and Peter will go to find the cosmic spirit ball together to ensure that there will be no accidents, but also to make Peter move faster. "
With Thor following along, Star-Lord would definitely not be jumping and jumping slowly to stroll past, and he would still have the mind to grab an unknown creature as a microphone to sing a song.
The speed of the two people's movements accelerated, not only can they get the universe spirit ball faster, but they may also be able to avoid the group sent by Ronan.
According to Ethan's calculation, they must have come here much earlier than in the original plot. If Star-Lord's actions were quicker, the gang sent by Ronan would not even meet Ethan and the others.
Ronan, who couldn't get the universe spirit ball, didn't know how to explain to Thanos.
But this guy didn't get the power gem, maybe he won't have the thought of betraying Thanos again, and he won't take the power gem to attack Xandar. The villain's life was saved?
Just as Ethan was cranky and Tony was still tinkering with that protective device, Thor and Star-Lord had returned.
Star-Lord has a lot of instruments in his hands, which is why Ethan knows that things are on the Morrag star, and he has to hire Star-Lord to help him. Otherwise, the whole planet is still in such a bad environment, and he is not in the mood to search slowly. .
It was with the instrument in hand that Star-Lord was able to find the target in a very short time, and then rushed back directly.
After returning to the spacecraft, Star-Lord held the cosmic spirit ball in his hand and watched it over and over.
"Is this the gem you speak of?"
No matter how he looked, he couldn't see how dangerous this thing was.
"The universe spirit ball is actually a password mechanism device. The power gem is locked inside so that no one can get it. If you want to unlock it, you must either know the 'password' or have special cracking equipment."
Collectors use special cracking equipment to crack the 'password' layer by layer. This device is not something that everyone can have.
"So you're going to get one of these devices next?"
Ethan gave a smug smile: "My approach is different from everyone else's."
Without taking the cosmic spirit ball over, Ethan reminded Star-Lord to leave the planet first. In such a precarious environment, this is not the time to talk about these things.
"Then what are you going to do?"
Even in the pilot's seat, Star-Lord, who started the spacecraft and was about to leave, still asked Ethan, his curiosity was already great.
At the same time, I also want to see with my own eyes what is so special about a gem that can easily destroy a civilization.
After the Milano was a certain distance away from the Morag star, Ethan asked Thor to hold the cosmic ball, and he took out the space gem.
Ethan's method is very simple, which is to use the space gem to "blind" the universe spirit ball, and then take out the power gem inside. This method requires good enough control. While 'blinding' the universe spirit ball, it can't affect the power gem inside.
But this is not a problem for Ethan, he did it very easily.
Watching the purple gem emerge from the slightly blue-lighting cosmic spirit ball and slowly float into the air, everyone gathered around and looked at this infinite gem representing power.
Power, a very attractive word, symbolizes the Infinity Stone of power, what is so special about it? All eyes turned to Ethan, who seemed to be the only one who could explain the problem.
It turned out that Ethan took a big step back and distanced himself from the power gem. Seeing his action, everyone unconsciously took a big step back.
