Chapter 1971 U Transcendence Event (Eighty-Eight)
Schiller was in a huge temple at this time.
Although it was a temple, it was more like a functional residence built by modern people, with only some temple styles added. Various decorations and walls were also engraved with ancient symbols and words.
In the center of the temple was a huge crystal column, which was the red crystal that Stark had found underground, but it was much larger than the crystal underground, and the red light was much more dazzling.
Surrounding the red crystal at this time was a technological device that was obviously invented by modern people. A glass cover emitting blue light covered the crystal, and above and below were energy extraction devices connected to the ceiling and floor.
Schiller knew the story of the Hewe people earlier than everyone else.
When Schiller got the first totem pole fragment, he found that the words and symbols on it were not simple. It did not look like the common words of primitive civilization at all. It was highly abstract and generalized, which meant that the civilization that made such totems must have been highly developed a long time ago.
Schiller knew that in the vast universe, humans were a relatively young civilization. People often said that human civilization had just stepped out of the cradle, but in fact, in the eyes of many highly developed interstellar civilizations, humans who still needed to rely on Earth's resources were completely in their mother's womb and had not yet been born.
But this civilization, which called itself the Hewei people, was not like that. They had already established developed cities and a mature civilized society millions of years ago.
Just as several other people speculated, the Hewei people were a highly developed magic civilization, or energy civilization, and they were blessed by God since they were born.
Just like the oil that humans have, there is something called Hewei crystal under the surface of the Hewei people's mother, which is the red crystal in front of Schiller.
But unlike oil, the energy provided by this crystal naturally coexists with the life born on this planet. The Hewei people can replenish their physical strength through the energy in the crystal. The crystal powder can be widely added to food and drinks, and can also be used in industrial manufacturing, medicine, and even agriculture.
Schiller looked at the people who jumped down from the ceiling and came to the temple and said, "What a lucky civilization! They discovered the ether element just as their science was starting."
Iron Man and Batman both knew what he was referring to. The ether element was a universal material and energy envisioned by ancient philosophers. In simple terms, anything that cannot be observed and used is the ether element. It is both a reaction element and a medium. It is both the highest form of all elements and their foundation.
During the investigation, Lord Batman did not see the natural form of the Hewei crystal with his own eyes, but he saw samples in the research institute and found the basic theory describing this crystal in a school.
"But this is not normal." Stark said, "Perhaps there will be civilizations that are lucky enough to find more universal energy or materials on their home planet, but they will never be so perfect and compatible. This does not conform to the law of natural evolution."
Lord Batman turned his head to look at Stark. He found that Stark's tone was very firm, as if he had really done an investigation. Loki also nodded and said, "Since I became an adult, I have been wandering in the universe with the Father of the Gods. Those advanced interstellar civilizations are all lucky and have a very good start."
"But no civilization has found truly perfect and omnipotent natural energy and materials. Even if there are some that can be barely called omnipotent, the difficulty of mining is beyond imagination."
"It's not surprising to have perfect materials and energy." Bai Guan also said, "But they already had perfect energy millions of years ago. How can the current civilization develop like humans? There is no record of them exploring aliens on this planet."
"That's exactly the problem . "Lord Batman lowered his eyes and said, "I have checked the research report of this crystal. Its energy storage efficiency is extremely high. It does not even require any artificial adjustment and compression. Just simply putting it in the rocket is enough to make the rocket fly to Mars."
Eddie was stunned for a moment and said, "Thick fog?"
Everyone looked at him. Eddie sighed and said, "I didn't look for clues, and I don't know how to study, but Venom told me that the fog is not a natural phenomenon. The connection between the factors of the fog is very special, like a net woven with chains."
"I think you have guessed it." Schiller smiled and said, "The thick fog intercepts everything that has the energy of the Hewei crystal."
"The thick fog is not naturally formed." Bruce sighed and began to pace around the crystal in the center of the temple. As he walked, he said, "Whether it is the red crystal or the thick fog that blocks the energy of the red crystal, they are all artificially released."
At this moment, Thor seemed to remember something and made a "hmm" sound, and the others also looked at him.
Thor recalled briefly and said, "Do you know how the Kree and the Skrulls fought?"
The people from other universes present didn't know who he was referring to, so Thor chose to start from the beginning.
"The old Skrulls, at that time they were not an empire, they could be called interstellarists, they spread the seeds of life in the universe, and at the same time selected potential civilizations for support."
"But this kind of thing is a gamble of luck. Not all civilizations that receive support will develop well. The resources that can be given back to the old Skrulls are also very limited. After millions of years, their resources have also become less."
"At that time, they took a fancy to the Kree and another civilization, but they only planned to help one of them, so they asked them to build a building each, and whoever built it better would be helped."
"In the end, the civilization other than the Kree won, but they originally lived on the same planet, and one of the civilizations received help. , will inevitably destroy the other. In order to survive, the Kree launched a war in advance and turned against the Skrulls, opening the prelude to the Millennium War. "
"And what I want to say is that the Skrulls did more than just this one thing. In many cases, they did not tell the ground civilization that they were aliens and were here to help them, but sent down divine revelations in another form to allow backward civilizations to obtain resources. "
"According to what they said, this is to adapt to the development methods of various civilizations. Those who believe in God will receive oracles, those who have just started scientific development will create accidents, and those who are already more advanced will communicate rationally. In theory, this is more reasonable, but in reality it is not so beautiful. "
"Some civilizations regard this as a natural thing that will always exist. phenomenon, so they over-rely on resources from the sky, resulting in long-term backwardness in energy and materials science; some civilizations are greedy, and after they develop, they find the Skrulls along the channels where resources fall, and want more. "
"And the later Skrulls, unable to support the large-scale output of resources, had to start harvesting the already developed civilizations, causing complaints from the locals. "
"And some of the Skrulls found that those civilizations that once regarded them as gods had almost no complaints when they were harvested, and would not make a big fuss, so for their own benefit, they treated these civilizations even more crazily. "
"I once heard an old Skrull say that in the later stages, they would completely regard a planet as farmland and abandon the Very few machines, directly brainwashing the leaders of the indigenous creatures, letting them command their subordinates to operate machines to mine resources, and then handing over the things on the planet. "
"For the entire Skrull Empire, this amount of resources is nothing, but if it goes into a person's pocket, it is also a considerable wealth. Some people even use it to establish their own kingdoms, and they are even more exploitative, which once triggered a large-scale condemnation from the interstellar society. "
Finally, Thor threw out his own conclusion: "I suspect that the planet where the Hewei people are located is one of the farmlands of advanced civilizations."
The two Batmen present and the Batman outside the screen frowned, not because of how shocking Thor's conclusion was, but mainly because this big guy didn't feel that his style was a bit wrong?
At this time, Thor was still dressed like a god king, and because he was attending a celebration before coming, he dressed particularly exaggeratedly.
Over the soft armor of bright silver and bronze, he wore a dark blue robe, and outside the robe, there was a cloak inlaid with various gems. On his head, he wore a crown inlaid with various gems. His golden hair was braided into a braid, and between the hair were shell ornaments.
"You are a king of a classical kingdom that looks like something that would appear in a medieval oil painting. Is there something wrong with you talking about interstellar civilization?"
Thor and Loki seemed to be used to this prejudice. Loki sighed and said, "Why do humans always think that the gods should appear in mythology books, and their daily work is to stay in a temple on a mountain and wait for humans to make wishes?"
"The gods, who are born with powerful energy and can call the wind and rain, should have a more developed civilization and a higher interstellar social status than humans. Even if we take a step back, at least we live longer, so we should be more advanced, right?"
"Because the gods in our universe really don't do anything serious." Lord Superman snorted and said, "I've heard Diana complain about the shitty things on Mount Olympus a lot, except that someone has a child with someone else, and the child finds them here when he grows up."
"So you are also a developed interstellar civilization?" Bruce asked with a raised eyebrow.
Loki nodded and said, "Sorry, but we do have a full-fledged starship, planetary supply bases and stellar energy sources throughout the universe, and a variety of rechargeable armor and weapons."
"What about humans?" Lord Batman frowned and asked.
He was actually asking, if there is such a powerful civilization around the earth, what living space will humans have?
Loki and Thor looked at each other, their eyes fell on Schiller and Stark respectively.
"Although I don't want to say this, you humans are really a very amazing race. Ninety-nine percent of your members are weak and not worth mentioning, and they always think about infighting, but there is always that one percent that is outrageous. Not only are they strong enough, but they are also very united."
Thor also sighed and said, "As long as your race can continue to produce exceptional strong people, protecting, helping, and even raising you will be more beneficial than harmful to us."
"Even if a strong person appears every ten thousand years, the nine kingdoms can make their presence felt among the stars, and those who are ready to make a move will think twice, which can greatly enhance Asgard's reputation."
"Especially..." Thor hesitated, glanced at Schiller, and then said: "The strong people of mankind are always special... It's hard for me to say, anyway, now all the portals between interstellar societies have to go through two more security checks as long as humanoid creatures are detected."
"And everything is because..."
Schiller and Loki instantly raised their hands and pointed at each other.
