Eight hundred and eighty eighth chapter starry (thirty-three)
The vice president's eyebrows immediately wrinkled, but he still said patiently: "I'm looking for Charles Xavier, Professor X. The Presidential Palace hopes to have a direct conversation with him..."
"I told you that the professor is not available!" Polaris' voice sounded impatient. She said, "Are you some kind of sales company? Within ten minutes, we made several calls. Do you know that we Very busy? Who has time to squat in front of the phone and wait for your call?!"
"But... what are Professor It became vague, as if you were covering the receiver and talking to someone else.
"Wolverine!! What are you doing!!! I told you! Don't touch the control panel of the spacecraft! Your claws are so sharp, what if you scratch the button? And you! Cyclops! Put on the glasses! Wasn't it enough that we punched a big hole in the deck of the spaceship last time?"
"Where do you think this is? Your crappy school? This is the frigate sent to us by His Majesty Thanos! If we blow up this ship, just wait for Thanos to get angry..."
After saying that, Polaris put down the receiver and said impatiently: "What president? The president of a separate country on earth still wants to have an official dialogue with us? Even His Majesty Thanos personally negotiated with our leader ,who do you think You Are……"
"Lorna! Lorna! Don't be like this..." A gentle voice sounded, and the Vice President heard the sound of the phone receiver being exchanged. Charles's voice rang on the other side: "Sorry, Mr. President, Lorna has been busy lately and has lost her temper. Not good, I apologize to you on her behalf..."
"Mr. Xavier, what is going on? You mutants...where have you been? What are you doing?"
"Nothing, it's just an internship at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. In order to help mutants control their powers, we took an order to help a certain cosmic force complete some plans."
"A certain cosmic force? You mean, you are not on the earth now?" The vice president's eyebrows almost knitted together. He said, "Then where are you?"
"Mr. President, this is just an internship. There is no need for you to make such a fuss. Mutants are not limited to living on Earth. This list provides good treatment, including food and accommodation, as well as weapons and spaceships. We have not been able to do that recently. gone back."
"But... but... Charles, listen to me, mutants are members of the human race after all, so you can't just take refuge in unknown cosmic forces. This is a betrayal of humanity..."
"Of course, Mr. President, we will always have to go back, but you also know that the development of mutants on Earth is not satisfactory, the school funds are insufficient, and the enrollment conditions are not relaxed enough. We have to find some way to support ourselves."
"Mutants don't have any other capital, they only have force. Fortunately, there are many civilizations in the universe that need this kind of force."
Charles sighed and said: "You also know that Magneto and his brothers are full of destruction. When they were on the earth, they gave me a headache. Rather than doing this, it is better to release them, which will be better for everyone.
Good, isn’t it?”
Just as the Vice President was about to speak, Polaris' voice sounded again. He said, "Don't mention Eric! How dare they say that? It's obvious that they despise mutants as dangerous and troublesome and want to drive us out of the earth. We took a step back.
After leaving the ant colony, he actually has the nerve to call and harass?!"
Polaris snorted coldly and said, "Be careful that Eric goes back another day and blows up their sun!"
"Lorna! Don't say that. After all, the earth is our hometown. Even if we work abroad, we must still think about our hometown." Charles' voice was always very gentle and calm. He said: "Go and look at the scenery outside the porthole. You are
It's time to rest for a while, after all, those dwarves are indeed quite troublesome, and you have been working hard recently."
Polaris' reluctant voice came: "If it weren't for His Majesty Salos's sake, I wouldn't hang out with you idiots... Wolverine! Take your claws away from the panel!!
!”
After Polaris left, Charles's voice rang again: "Mr. President, I heard that you called me several times. May I ask, what can I do?"
The Vice President took a deep breath and said: "Professor X, we..."
When he said this, he suddenly choked up. He wanted to say, "We need your help," but in fact, the draft he had written was not like this at all.
In his plan, he should first talk to Professor
.
But Charles said first that he was not on Earth at all, and he had business to do now. He also revealed that Magneto and the group of mutants from the Brotherhood wanted to leave the Earth completely. In this case, the quota for the so-called five states would be lost.
It seems very ridiculous,
They are fighting a space war over there, and they even have spaceships flying, so who cares about the enrollment quota?
After thinking for a while, the vice president finally said: "Professor Xavier, the so-called His Majesty Thanos, is your employer?"
"Yes, this is true for the X-Men, but Magneto's daughter, little Lorna who just answered the phone, seems to think that His Majesty Thanos is a wise man worthy of being entrusted, and is encouraging him
My father defected to Thanos, but the X-Men feel that we are always a member of the human race and we can accept the employment relationship. As for allegiance, forget it."
The vice president breathed a sigh of relief, but then became nervous again. He said: "Are you at war? What force are you at war with?"
"Mr. Vice President, we are very busy. Several interns from the X-Men do not have enough combat experience and need my assistance. If there is nothing wrong with you, I will hang up first."
Professor
On the other hand, he realized that this feeling was really unpleasant.
But he couldn't continue to ask any more questions. His professionalism told him that the few questions just now were close to cross-examination. The other party was not in a good mood. If he continued to press like this, it might be counterproductive.
Putting down the phone, the Vice President felt a ridiculous emotion. How could he feel that the oppression of mutants was excessive?
The Vice President is not a mutant hater, but he is also a pioneer against mutants. There have been reports that he has close ties with mutants, but this is just an appearance. Every time he communicates with Professor X,
They are all forcing mutants to take a step back, or promising empty promises to take advantage of them.
In the past, mutants had no way out. When the Vice President took one step forward, Professor
.
At this time, Congress will relax a little and give them some breathing space, and then continue to oppress and consume the mutants' power so that they can't cause any trouble.
But now, the situation is different. The wall behind the mutants has collapsed, and opposite is another continent of light called the universe.
Compared with ordinary humans, who must wear thick space suits and drive extremely safe spaceships to enter the universe, mutants are not so delicate. Not to mention the few mutants who can control magnetic fields and positions, even if
Even Wolverine can withstand cosmic radiation. Although his mobility is not strong, he will not die at least.
Moreover, they also boarded the train of other cosmic forces. The cosmic king named Thanos can give mercenaries spaceships casually. This shows that he is not the leader of an ordinary small civilization. The level of civilization is higher than that of human beings.
much higher.
But the vice president still had doubts. He wondered whether this was a show by mutants. Just when he wanted to find someone to confirm this, his staff came in with a report in his hand. He said
:
"Mr. President, there is bad news, oh, no, maybe it is also good news. There is a problem on the planet where humans mine molten steel. The sulfur dwarves collectively revolted and a war broke out, and spacecraft intervened."
"The robots produced by Stark Industries have not been updated for a long time, and they have been beaten back and forth. But now that Stark is dead again, all the permissions of the advanced laboratories have been locked, and we have no way to control those robots to resist.
"
"In the past three weeks, the output of molten steel has dropped by at least half. The sulfur dwarves have taken back half of the mines. If this continues, the flow of molten steel may stop."
"What did you say?!" The vice president raised his voice in shock: "Molten steel is cut off?! But our aerospace equipment all uses this new material, and now there are at least fifty or sixty projects in the process.
Once construction starts and the flow of molten steel is cut off, what will happen to our initial investment?”
"However, due to the decrease in molten steel production, the price of vibranium will rise. Our vibranium reserves are still large." The staff did not seem to understand economic matters. The vice president slapped his forehead hard and said: "My
God! Don’t you know? Vibranium already has other plans!”
He took a deep breath and said: "The god-king named Thor is the so-called Lord of the Nine Kingdoms. He is forging his new crown. The Holy of Holies negotiates with them on our behalf to let the Asgard crown be engraved.
For the parts, vibranium, a metal unique to humans, can be used.”
"Ordinary people have gradually learned about the existence of Asgard. Once this news is announced, vibranium will change from an ordinary industrial metal to a precious gemstone, just like colored gemstones. If you still want to use it as an industrial metal, you
Will you use gems to build rockets?"
The vice president looked a little pale and said: "We have reached agreements with several jewelry groups. Jewelry made of vibranium has entered the production line. We are just waiting for the news to be announced and the price to rise before it can be put on the market for sale."
"But if the flow of molten steel, a universal industrial metal, is completely cut off and returns to the vibranium era, then Congress will definitely require us to maintain sufficient vibranium reserves as strategic materials to compete with other countries. This is absolutely unacceptable.
Will allow us to sell it as jewelry!"
"What should we do?" the staff asked anxiously: "Ordinary people don't know, but we all know that the planet is not in the solar system at all. We can't control it. Only Stark can..."
"Not necessarily! As long as we can talk to mutants... they have the ability to travel to the universe!" The Vice President gritted his teeth and said: "We must let them solve their troubles, whether they are within the earth or outside the earth...
…”
At this time, another person rushed in. He said: "Mr. President! This is bad! Jarvis released to us the scene of the battle on the main star of the Brimstone Dwarves. We discovered that it was the mutants who helped the Brimstone Dwarves in their uprising.
!”
"Your Majesty the President!! Your Majesty the President!!! Wake up!! Someone come quickly...Doctor! Doctor! Your Majesty the President fainted!!!!"
