Chapter 348 S: Glorious Event (Twenty-Seven)
Stark looked up at the details in the reception room. At this time, Charles frowned and looked at Stark, saying: "You opened too much bandwidth. I think you'd better..."
A few "whoosh" sounds came, and several people turned to look outside the window. At first, some small mechanical parts fell down. Soon, the parts fell from the sky like a downpour, and the crackling sound echoed in the room.
With a "bang", a corner of the room in the manor collapsed, followed by a series of "boom boom boom". Charles waved his hand, and several people appeared on the sea, looking at the manor from a distance, submerged by countless mechanical parts.
Stark crossed his arms and said, "This is the consequence of you forcibly hypnotizing me. I was thinking at high speed at the time, and you just pulled me into your consciousness space. The parts I built in my mind would flood this place."
As he spoke, the mechanical rain in the air finally slowed down a little, but the entire beach had been smashed beyond recognition, and countless strange mechanical parts were piled higher than the mountain. Charles sighed and said, "Obviously, someone suggested me..."
"Of course I know." Stark turned his head to look at Schiller and said, "Someone who can only screw light bulbs will never understand the obsession of scientists with thinking..."
"Okay, you destroyed the base we built." Schiller put his hands on his eyes, looked at the coastline from a distance, and then said, "You have to find a place for us to talk, right?"
"You call that place with only a small house a base? If you have such a big ambition for this organization, don't look for me next time."
As he said, Stark floated up from the sea, he opened his arms, and his eyes emitted a faint light.
In an instant, a bright sun rose from behind him. It was a furnace with endless energy. Then, countless parts flew up, forming a storm around him. More and more parts appeared in the air, constantly intersecting, merging, reorganizing, and upgrading...
In just a few seconds, the dazzling mechanical storm swept the entire consciousness space. After the sea breeze blew away the white mist, a huge mechanical city appeared in the dream.
It was a huge city that was difficult to describe in words. Every building there was so detailed that it was down to the gears and bearings. The high-rise buildings, roads, streets, alleys, and the luster of metal and machinery were cold, but crowded and lively.
Loki also narrowed his eyes. She had traveled in the universe for many years and had seen the huge fleets of advanced civilizations cruising between galaxies, and the powerful gods who created and destroyed stars in a thought. But he had to admit that no matter at which level, the mechanical city created by Stark in his dream could be called a perfect combination of technology and art.
With Charles's wave, several people appeared on the roof of the building with the Stark sign in the center of the city.
Entering the top floor of the building, there is a wide and bright hall full of floor-to-ceiling windows, which is more beautiful than the top floor observation deck of the current Stark Building. There are several circular pedestals in the hall, surrounded by screens. A floating little robot brought a tray, and Stark picked up a cup of coffee from it. …
"Drinking coffee in a dream? You are really good." Strange said.
Schiller also took a cup of coffee from the tray. He said: "In fact, this is just a psychological hint to myself, which can make my thoughts more smooth."
Charles looked at the hall, shook his head and said: "This is very advanced, but I still prefer the old-fashioned decoration."
As he said, he also picked up the coffee cup and clinked it with Schiller. Stark made a sound and pointed to a door on the wall. He pointed to the door with his hand, and the figures of Schiller and Stark appeared in front of the door. Schiller pushed the door with his hand, and behind the door was the previous reception room.
"It seems that you use the power of dreams far beyond ordinary people." Schiller looked back at Stark and said.
"Consciousness space and the Palace of Thought are not patents of anyone, and Stark is far beyond ordinary people in every aspect."
"Can we talk about business?" Nick yawned and said, "I want to stay a little longer to get a good night's sleep."
Stark snapped his fingers again, and a semicircular sofa fell from the ceiling. After several people sat down, a circular base appeared in the middle, and the screen lit up.
"The question now is whether we should participate in the war in Andromeda, and in what way." Strange also picked up the coffee cup and took a sip of coffee.
Stark glanced at Schiller and said, "I think we don't need to discuss the first question. Perhaps from the beginning, we are aiming at Andromeda."
"But I don't understand. You asked me to send a message to Sithorn through the Sanctuary of the Holy of Holies, telling him that it was Nar who absorbed the power of chaos, and asked him to find trouble with Nar, and then induce the sulfur dwarves to declare war on the United Civilization. What's the benefit of this?" Strange asked.
Nick, however, has a deeper understanding of this plan. He said: "This has to start with the plight of mutants. The earth is too small and too fragile. It is not suitable for humans and mutants to live together."
Charles sighed slightly and said, "If it is not necessary, no one wants to leave here. It is not that mutants cannot compete with humans for the earth, but I am afraid that in the process of competition, the earth will have been reduced to scorched earth."
"What mutants need is civilization, a society built on civilization, not a ruin from scratch."
"The physical weakness of ordinary humans has prompted their thoughts to become more and more crazy. Any group that dares to go to war with them, even if they can win in the end, will only get a radioactive ruin that has been plowed several times by their big bombs."
Charles crossed his fingers and said, "I will... We have never supported a direct war between mutants and humans. This is the reason. We may have to pay a huge price, but in the end we will get nothing. "
"We have already reached an agreement on this issue. The only question now is, where is the homeland you promised to the mutants?"
"It is in the Andromeda Galaxy." Schiller answered very straightforwardly: "It will be an enclave of human civilization. You will become the vanguard of mankind into the universe, receive a steady stream of blood transfusions from the mother star, and finally establish your own civilization there."...
"How can you meet the conditions I mentioned?" Charles asked him.
"It is obvious that Andromeda is a galaxy with a developed civilization. The civilization there is even more prosperous than the Milky Way. There are three civilizations that have entered the cosmic level, and other indigenous civilizations are countless."
"Of course, most of the civilizations here have owners, but that was in the past. Now, the sulfur dwarves have taken the initiative to provoke a war between civilizations."
"Do you want to let the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefit?"
"Almost, but it's more complicated than that." Schiller conjured a puzzle on the coffee table in front of him and explained: "Among the three major civilizations, the symbiont civilization can be almost ignored. They don't have their own civilization at all. Their home planet is also a prison for their creator. If it weren't for their unique way of survival, they couldn't compete with the other two civilizations. "
"Then the two largest tenants of this galaxy are the sulfur dwarves and the United Civilization. Although the civilization of the sulfur dwarves is developed, their living conditions are very bad, because their physical fitness is much stronger than that of humans, and the surface temperature is still a suitable climate for them. The planets operated by such civilizations are not suitable for humanoids to survive. "
"So, the sulfur dwarves are dead? How do you plan to kill them?"
"Let's talk about this later. Let's talk about the United Civilization. This civilization is much better. Their racial composition is very complex, and there is almost no unity. There are all kinds of ecological planets. This will be a good stage for mutants. "
"This also perfectly meets your requirements." Schiller looked at Charles and said: "Ready-made civilization, prosperous interstellar society , many achievements of civilization..."
Then, Schiller changed the subject: "Of course, if mutants join the United Civilization now, they will definitely be very passive, because so far, this civilization has a general ruling body, and the various races are relatively stable, and they do not welcome outsiders."
"So, it is best for mutants to appear as a savior when the entire civilization has been weakened to the limit and on the eve of disintegration, saving all races from dire straits..."
Nick understood and continued: "Then they voluntarily accept the mutant garrison, warmly welcome the mutants to settle on a planet with the best ecology, and express their willingness to unite around the mutants to build a harmonious interstellar society."
Stark took a deep breath and said: "I understand, mutants are going to maintain peace."
"And how to put the United Civilization Ming was forced into this situation, and it all started with the sulfur dwarves..."
At this time, Loki spoke up: "I think the sulfur dwarves do have the ability to force the United Civilization into a desperate situation, but the question is, after achieving this effect, how are you going to deal with these sulfur dwarves? Aren't you afraid that they will eat up too many resources of the United Civilization, resulting in a tail that cannot be cut off?"
"This part of the plan is kept secret for the time being. Let's talk about the third civilization, that is, the symbiote civilization."
"The symbiote civilization and the United Civilization have a very good relationship. When the United Civilization is under fierce attack, they will definitely ask the symbiote for help."...
"These parasitic creatures are best at improving the quality of individual soldiers. If the symbiotes on Klintar come out in full force and arm the United Civilization, then maybe the United Civilization can really survive."
"So you told Sithon about Nar's waste of chaotic power and asked him to trap the symbiotes on Klintar so that they could not support the United Civilization? "
"Yes, there is another reason. Once the United Civilization is on the verge of collapse, the symbiotes will face a very embarrassing situation. That is, they will no longer have so many hosts to choose from, and the sulfur dwarves are eyeing them covetously. "
"And at this time, the mutants who once had a good cooperation with them came to this galaxy, so it should not be difficult to establish a good symbiotic relationship again, right? "
"It's the same old thing." Nick put down the cup and said in a somewhat cold tone: "Kill the strongest local snakes and the birds that stand out, so that a group no longer has a leader."
"Then weaken the middle class and make them weak enough to be easily controlled."
"Finally, support the weakest forces, let the middle and lower classes fight among themselves, consume each other, and the upper class will reap the benefits."
Several people thought of some examples and felt a little cold on their backs.
Schiller leaned back in his chair and put his hands on the armrests. He closed his eyes, as if he felt sleepy in a dream, and the voice seemed to come from a distant void.
"Humans have been moving around in a small space for many years, developing from tribes to countries, from primitive to developed, but the struggle has never stopped."
"In terms of war, oppression, and exploitation, no other race will be as cruel as humans."
"If those moving virtues are no longer enough to resist the dangers that come at any time in the endless deep space..."
"If our sun is too dim and is destined to be unable to illuminate the entire universe..."
"Then turn us into the most dangerous existence, like the black sun rising over the dark forest..."
"The glory is gone, but the glory is forever."
