Chapter 917
: Come (Chinese)
The sun is always bright, even if it is thousands of miles apart, when the sun shines on the earth, it still brings warmth and vitality.
But if you observe this vigorous star up close, you can feel the surging heat and the trembling natural power.
Above the Mercury base, a larger sun can be seen. This light that cannot be seen directly becomes weaker in front of ordinary people's abilities and technological equipment. In this perspective, more mysterious and beautiful patterns can be seen.
Standing on the roof of Mercury Base and looking at the surging sun particles, Stark turned to look at Schiller and said, "Who do you think is right about the Skrulls or the Kerry people?"
"The Skrulls said that they just wanted to build the universe. They were the ones they paid for, but they did not get any reward. On the contrary, they suffered heavy losses in the Millennium War, and the Kree were shameful thieves and betrayers."
"The Kerry people feel that the Skrulls' help to other civilizations threatened their living space. They plundered the Skrulls' technology just to protect themselves. The so-called great ideal is just an excuse to satisfy hegemony."
"They have their own opinions. Who do you think is right?"
"Maybe they are all right?" Schiller also looked at the sun, saying: "Impure ideals and impure people are destined to have tragedy."
"The greed of the Kotatti and the Kerry people for technology and resources, and the arrogance that the Skrulls believe can determine the direction of the universe, together constitutes this tragedy."
Schiller suddenly laughed, as if he had thought of something interesting. He looked at Stark and said, "I ask you, if one day an advanced civilization like the Scraer people descended on the earth and showed their infinite power..."
"They told humans that they were going to play a game, and the winners could get their resources and technology. How do you think humans would react?"
Hearing this question, Stark showed an extremely complicated expression, helpless, ridiculous, and funny. He said: "Although this kind of thing has not happened, I can already imagine that situation."
"The first thing that jumped out is definitely not the argumentative faction who participated in the competition or did not participate in the competition, but the questioning faction."
"We will question whether the opponent's technology is really that strong? What is the purpose of this game in the end? Is this a conspiracy? Do they have other plans for humanity?"
Stark still couldn't help it. He let out a "sneer" laugh and continued: "Although we are poor, very weak, and almost useless, we are always suspicious that all intelligent lives are going to murder ourselves..."
"After a craze of discussion, participants and non-participants will surely emerge, and they will be disdainful to the faction that they do not hear the faction, but it can be imagined that the members of these factions will definitely quarrel, fight and argue in various forms."
"If the period given by this powerful civilization is ten years, then they will argue for ten years. If the period given is one hundred years, then they will argue for one hundred years."
"Moreover, humans are not only suspicious, but also forgetful."
"Perhaps, when these aliens came to inspect the results with great expectations, humans might have forgotten them a long time ago.
Schiller hugged his arms and said, "Really? You just think of this? Then, from your own perspective, how will you deal with this?"
Stark paused, and then said, "You asked the key point. If there was a group of strange aliens running over the earth and letting us play, the first thing I thought of might not be how to win or even how to play."
"I would think, since their technological strength is so strong, they are driving a spaceship and bringing equipment here, why should we go far and go to participate in any competition? Why don't we keep them directly? That's not the same way we can get the resources and technology we want?"
At this moment, he seemed to suddenly react and said, "Since the Kerry people have a way to get the Skrulls' warships, why didn't they do this at the beginning? Why did they go to the competition?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Stark was stunned for a moment. He touched his chin and said, "Of course, this must be because of you who have been there for a long time. Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to Mo are black. My moral bottom line has declined, and it must be your problem..."
"If you were contagious to me in this part of the conclusion, then should you think deeply about your inner answer?" Schiller said.
Stark frowned and began to think, and he said, "...my inner answer? What else is there in my heart... Well, when I first heard you say this idea, my first reaction was indeed not this conclusion."
"When you say they showed infinite power, my first reaction was-really?"
Stark explained again: "What is the so-called infinite power? Are huge spacecraft? Are advanced navigation technology? Are sufficient firepower star warfare weapons?"
"And after these problems arise, my first thought was, can't I create it?"
"Other people's resources and technology are ultimately theirs. They give us a spaceship. When the spaceship breaks down, we have to find them to repair it. They give us energy. If there is no energy in the future, we have to find them to ask for it."
"I would rather be a poor man than be a beggar."
"The road of exploration has no end. The so-called infinite power is just a small threshold on the road of scientific exploration. If they walk faster than me, it does not mean that they walk farther than me."
"At the time, if the Kerry people thought the same as you, they would not fight back and forth with the current New Scrurer Empire, no matter how high or low it is."
After saying that, Schiller then made a summary: "In this idea, you should have discovered that only those who can defeat greed are deeper greed, and those who can defeat arrogance are only greater arrogance."
"Humans will never satisfy you. The victory condition you promised is a spaceship. We just want ten. If you promised ten spaceships, we just want to swallow it together with the fleet you sent."
“What humans think about is not how to win games, but how to destroy games.”
"The moment we sat on the card table, there was only one goal, that was, to defeat all opponents, including the dealer, and no one could do anything to keep it alone."
"And what makes you refuse the assistance of higher civilizations is not restraint or rationality, but sooner or later, it will surpass their arrogance. As a surface creature, you have begun to despise the arrogance of interstellar civilization."
"Okay, I admit it." Stark nodded and said, "I am just arrogant, so what about Skrull scientists? Did that Arengail do anything decent?"
"The so-called top scientists of the Scrurul Empire have worked in my laboratory for so long, and the only relatively decent result they have come up with is the application of the Dark Elves' light masking technology."
Stark stroked the eyes on his face and said, "So far, this technology can only make us look at the sun less dazzling. If we really want to achieve instant cooling and heat shielding, there are still several technical difficulties that need to be overcome."
"Scrore's genius scientists are just like this, and the so-called three empires in the universe are just developing earlier and moving faster."
"The gap of a hundred years is just that I am busy for a while, and the gap of a thousand years is just that the talented scientists of all mankind are busy for a while, and the gap of a thousand years is... I have to say that Peter did a good job, and the villain scientists and Spider-Man in the multiverse have made considerable contributions."
A smile appeared on the face under Stark's armor. He said: "How ridiculous it sounds. Most humans can't even leave the earth, but I dare to say such words as chasing or even surpassing the three empires."
"The fireflies dared to compete with the bright moon, but because we didn't know how bright moon was. But now, we not only knew how bright moon was, but also brought in a spaceship and hit the moon's head."
Stark shook his head and said to Schiller: "You are promoting this greed and arrogance, so that these small fireflies have mastered the means to blow up the moon too early, so that we no longer have any awe for it..."
"But I sometimes wonder, what level do you want to do? If there is no grand enough goal, then what you do for these cosmic empires is actually redundant."
"According to the current situation, even if there is no unexpected wealth from them, human beings will develop steadily, and one day they will be able to move towards the universe and compete with these behemoths."
"But what I want is not a confrontation." Schiller shook his head and said, "It is a destined road to perish, conquer them, and destroy them."
"I am willing to provide more support to Asgard, not only because they are the masters of the nine kingdoms and can provide protection for mankind, but more importantly, they have come to an end to the conquest."
"They have tried it wrong for us. This path is not working. Perhaps it is some mysterious existence that we do not yet understand, or perhaps it is the will of this universe."
"But in short, the growing force and the continuous creation of wars and chaos will only bring destruction. With the lessons of Asgard, mankind does not have to go this path anymore."
"What do you want to do?" Stark asked.
"The Skrullians' ideal is good, but it seems like a doomed tragedy."
"Using limited resources to export outward without seeking rewards will definitely weaken oneself, but if you seek rewards, people's hearts will inevitably fall to the judgment of gains and losses of interests, thus forgetting their original ideals."
"The more you care about interests, the more you forget your original intention, the less you will be helpless in the end. If you want to regain your reputation, you can only embark on the path of conquest and destruction."
"It sounds like this is a dead end that cannot be reached, but in fact, it is just based on the premise of limited resources. What if there are unlimited resources?"
"But the mass of the universe is certain," Stark emphasized.
"Yes, this creates another question. After the productivity reaches its limit, on the premise that all resources in the universe can be maximized, are the resources in the universe enough to support all civilizations?"
Stark shook his head and said, "Civilization is constantly being born, and the resources are needed are increasing. If all civilizations can develop safely to the peak and never perish, then the universe will never be able to provide for it."
"You said that the road to conquest and destruction cannot be done, so will this road be done?"
"Not necessarily." What Stark expected was that Schiller gave a negative answer and said, "But if you don't let me lead this road to the end, you will never be able to convince me that this road will not succeed."
"But then again, if I really climbed to the top, reached the top, and took all the intelligent life in the universe to find the ultimate answer for all civilizations, but still failed, I would have found a reason to comfort myself."
"After all, those who have walked on this road have long understood from the fall of a giant that this road is not the end. It is considered a win."
"Only after trying it, I can tell that the sky is wide and the sea is vast. What is important is not necessarily the result, but may also be... to come."
