Chapter 337 S: Glorious Event (XVI)

In a space filled with white mist, a very abrupt building rose from the ground. It looked like Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, but it was different. The exterior of Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters was basically made of dark red bricks, while this one turned into dark blue. Apart from that, most of the structures were the same.

Looking in from the window of this color-changed version of Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, the scene inside was shocking.

It was not surprising that Iceman, Rogue, Storm and others appeared here, because they were members of Xavier School, but the remaining Polaris, Twinkle, Quicksilver and others should have been closer to the Brotherhood of Mutants, but they were also sitting in the classroom at this time.

What was even more surprising was that it was not Jean Grey or Professor X who was standing on the podium, but Stark.

Stark stood on the podium, and Bruce Banner stood next to him. Stark touched his eyebrows, looked at the students below, and sighed deeply.

At this time, Professor X walked in. Iceman saw him stride into the classroom, widened his eyes, and then as if he had reacted, his expression returned to calm.

Professor X walked to the podium and glanced at the students below. Most of the students who graduated from Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters sat properly, and the remaining troublemakers from the Brotherhood of Mutants were whispering to each other.

Professor X cleared his throat and said, "Just as I said in your dream before, welcome to the Mutant School."

Polaris rolled his eyes and seemed to be about to say something, but before he could speak, Stark said, "Yes, school, I really hope that this place can transform you bunch of trash into smarter, even if it is from negative to zero, I will thank God."

His words were very straightforward and his tone was very aggressive. It stands to reason that the mutants who followed Magneto had bad tempers, but this time, the few people led by Polaris just made a sound from their noses, hugged their arms, and said nothing.

And what exactly is going on, why do they have this attitude, we have to start from three days ago.

After Captain America's speech at the Security Council, Nick was given the greatest power in a special period, so the Glory Plan was officially launched.

Before the official launch of this plan, scientists represented by Banner, Connors, Stark and foreign aid Reed had made most of the preparations and were only waiting for field investigation.

But the problem lies in this field investigation.

Going to Mercury is not like going to the moon, just finding something to bring people there. Stark has a mecha that can move in the universe, and he also prepared one for Banner who went with him.

This armor can resist high and low temperatures and provide life-sustaining materials, which ensures that they can move freely on Mercury.

But these are not enough. The cosmic environment is unpredictable, and entering the universe for the first time is accompanied by great danger. In order to ensure that these precious scientists can be safe no matter what situation they encounter, there are also several mutants who go to Mercury with them.

Polaris, Iceman, Shockwave and Blink, these four mutants can be said to be very powerful, and each of them has their own strengths, including the ability to deal with almost all dangers. Logically, such a combination of brains and strength should not have any big problems landing on Mercury. …

Originally, they expected this, and the first half of the plan to land on Mercury went smoothly. The wizard opened a portal and sent them to the surface of Mercury.

But the landing site is still a certain distance from the South Pole of Mercury. They need to walk there. At this time, Blink's ability can come in handy. Her ability is to teleport people. The better thing about the portal is that the landing point is very accurate, and it does not require casting time, which is very suitable for dealing with some dangers that need to be avoided quickly.

Stark's original plan was that he asked the wizard to open the portal at a certain distance from the South Pole. They can also inspect the topography of Mercury along the way. After collecting enough information, Blink will take them to the pole.

But when the data was collected and Stark asked Blink to teleport them, Blink asked a very soul-searching question: "...Where is the South Pole?"

Stark's eyes widened, and he asked: "The pole, it's the South Pole, don't you know it?"

"Of course I know the South Pole, I've been to the South Pole of the Earth, the penguins there are quite cute, but this is not the Earth, how do I know where the South Pole is?"

Stark opened his mouth. In his opinion, this is a very simple question, and all he needs to know is the orbit and rotation inclination of Mercury.

He wanted to explain to Flash, but he thought, to explain the orbit and the rotation angle, he had to talk about the revolution and rotation, to talk about the revolution and rotation, he had to start with the gravitational field, to talk about the gravitational field, he had to mention the four fundamental forces...

In an instant, all this knowledge went through Stark's mind. He glanced at the sun that was so close, felt the heat coming from the mecha, looked at the North Star helplessly and said: "Your ability is to control magnetism, right? Mercury has a global magnetic field, and you can find the North and South Poles by following the magnetic lines of force. Find the South Pole and let her take us there."

Polaris closed her eyes, and after a few seconds, she said, "I found it."

Then several mutants looked at each other, and Polaris asked, "How should I describe the point I found to you?"

Stark covered his forehead, but Banner was more patient. He said, "Do you know the positioning method? We can take the simpler one..."

"...What positioning method?"

Banner looked at Polaris and said, "It's the point positioning method, don't you know? It's to find three points..."

Banner was about to explain, but he thought that to talk about what the three-point positioning method is, we must first talk about what a triangle is. To talk about what a triangle is, we have to mention trigonometric identities and trigonometry, and when we mention trigonometric identities, we have to talk about trigonometric functions...

Banner also sighed, he looked at Twinkle and said, "Even if we give you a complete map now, you can't locate it, right?"

"In fact, there is another way. You just need to give me a direction, and then I will take you to teleport little by little. You will definitely pass by the South Pole, because the planet is round." Twinkle shrugged and said.

Stark was almost suffocating. If he had to say what he learned from the first landing, it was that he should never pin his hopes on others, especially mutants. …

But it must be said that what Twinkle proposed was also a solution. The limit of Twinkle's teleportation ability is the distance from the earth to the moon, and the diameter of Mercury is only two-fifths of the earth. Therefore, even if it is teleported again and again, it does not take too long to go around a circle. As long as a certain landing point is close to the South Pole, the North Star will be sensed, and then they can land at the South Pole...

But Stark never dreamed that he would need to use the exhaustive method when he wanted to determine a location.

Twinkle led the group of people to work for a long time, and finally landed at the South Pole. At this time, Banner and Stark were a little dizzy. They were still ordinary humans and were a little carsick for fast teleportation.

But at least they arrived at the destination. At this time, it was Shockwave's turn to play. There was a crater at the South Pole of Mercury. Shockwave needed to dig a downward tunnel here and then explore downward.

The reason why machines are not used to do this work is that the density of Mercury is very high. If you want to go deep underground, the exploration drill can only use vibranium or adamantium, and the loss will be very large. In order to save money for the earth, Stark still chooses mutants who do not need to pay.

But the facts prove that there is nothing in this world that does not cost money. Shockwave's ability is indeed very strong. He does not need to wear a mecha to move freely in the universe, and can also absorb the energy of the sun and convert it into shockwaves.

The only problem was that he couldn't quite understand the survey map drawn by Stark. He flew into the air with the survey map, looked at the map, looked at the ground, looked at the map again, and looked at the ground again. After looking at it for a long time, he didn't do anything, but flew back and asked Stark: "Why is there no crater on your map?"

"No crater?... Isn't it here?" Stark walked over and pointed to the map and said: "Look here, do you see this string of data? You have to follow here..."

"What is this string of data?... What is this?"

"This is a scale, do you see this point I drew? You have to open a perfect circle at a scale of 1:1000, and at the same time, you have to open a tangent with a depth of only half here, and here..."

Half an hour later, Shockwave flew into the air again, and then shot out a scorching ray shockwave with his arm. Stark stood on the surface of Mercury with his hands on his waist, looking at the pattern on the ground, and shouted while looking: "Stop! You drew it wrong! ! What is that in your hand? That's a map, follow the map!!!"

"I followed the map!! "Shockwave shouted.

"But I want a perfect circle. What shape did you cut? A slice of bread?!"

"But I'm controlling it manually. How can it be so accurate?!"

"I marked the allowable error above! Didn't you see? The allowable error on the west side is larger. Why did you go north?"

"This is not the Earth. How do I know which is west?!"

Half an hour later, Stark and Banner sighed again. Banner supported Stark's shoulders and said, "That's it. It's just a preliminary exploration. It's enough to enter the bottom of the crater."

Stark said nothing and walked towards the pit created by the shock wave. …

The shock wave opened a hole in the middle of the crater. When Flash and several people were teleported down, Bruce screamed and sat down on the ground directly. Because there was a bulge where he landed, he tripped directly.

Stark looked back, sighed again, and said to Shockwave: "Don't you know the importance of safe operation?"

Before Shockwave could refute, Stark said: "Come on, dig a tunnel here."

Then he turned around, pulled Iceman over, and said: "When he digs a beam of tunnels, you use your ice-making ability to create a support structure to prevent the tunnel from collapsing."

Stark took out the blueprint again. This time, before the Iceman could say anything, Stark took a look at the blueprint himself, then threw it back and said, "Forget it, you can't understand it anyway. In short, he made a tunnel, and you made something to support the tunnel so that we can go in."

"Okay, no problem." The Iceman nodded.

The shock wave made a thinner ray and began to slowly dig a tunnel. A tunnel appeared in front of the people.

The Iceman squatted down and touched the ground with his hand. In an instant, the ice layer spread along the tunnel. At this time, Banner stopped his next move and said, "Your support structure is not good. It will collapse if you go forward. According to structural mechanics, you must make a support point here, and here, it needs to bear weight..."

Although the Iceman didn't understand, he had a better temper than the others. He did what Banner said. After several hours of delay, the few people finally walked into the tunnel.

Then it was a repetitive operation. Stark searched for possible ice layers under Mercury and recorded the rock structure underground.

After a long time of running-in, the few people finally cooperated well, but when Banner and Bruce were collecting data in an underground cave, a fierce quarrel broke out between Shockwave, Polaris and Iceman.

Not long ago, they had a quarrel. If Charles and Magneto had not reached a temporary agreement and asked them to come together to perform the mission, the three of them would still be in a cold war.

And there is no need to say what the consequences of forcing several people in a cold war together will be. Shockwave suspected that Iceman was trying to steal his corner, Polaris thought that Shockwave was completely unreasonable, and Iceman stood up for Polaris. As a result, Shockwave felt that the two had betrayed him...

Stark was collecting rock samples well, and he heard a "boom" behind him. Then, the ice pillars supporting the underground structure began to collapse layer by layer. In an instant, Flash appeared beside the two and took them to the surface with a "whoosh".

Just as they fell to the ground, a loud rumbling sound came from the center of the crater in front of them, and with a "boom", the entire center of the crater collapsed...

Shockwave, Polaris and Iceman crawled out in disgrace, facing Stark's face as black as the bottom of a pot.
