Chapter 915: Been Here (Part 2)
The sun is always bright. Even if it is thousands of miles away, when the sun shines on the earth, it still brings warmth and vitality.
But if you look closely at this vigorous star in its prime, you can feel the surging heat and the mind-shaking natural power.
In the sky above the Mercury base, you can see the bigger sun. This kind of light that cannot be seen directly becomes weaker in the face of abilities and technological equipment beyond ordinary people. From this perspective, you can see something more mysterious and mysterious. Beautiful pattern.
Standing on the roof of the Mercury base, looking at the surging solar particles, Stark turned to Schiller and said, "Who do you think is right, the Skrulls or the Kree?"
"The Skrulls said they just wanted to build the universe. They were the ones who paid, but they got nothing in return. On the contrary, they suffered heavy losses in the Thousand Years War. The Kree are shameful thieves and betrayers. "
"The Kree feel that the Skrulls' help to other civilizations threatens their living space. They plunder the Skrulls' technology just to protect themselves. The so-called great ideals are just an excuse to satisfy their hegemony."
"They all hold their own opinions. Who do you think is right?"
"Maybe they are all right?" Schiller also looked at the sun and said: "Impure ideals and impure people are destined to cause tragedy."
"The Kotati and Kree's greed for technology and resources, and the Skrulls' arrogance that they think they can determine the direction of the universe, together constitute this tragedy."
Schiller suddenly smiled and seemed to have thought of something interesting. He looked at Stark and said, "Let me ask you, what if one day, an advanced civilization like the Skrulls descended on the earth and showed... Their infinite power..."
"They said to humans that you are going to participate in a competition, and the winner can get their resources and technology. How do you think humans will react?"
Hearing this question, Stark showed an extremely complicated expression, helpless, absurd, and funny. He said: "Although this kind of thing has not happened, I can already imagine that situation."
"The first ones to jump out are definitely not the debating faction about whether to participate in the competition or not, but the questioning faction."
"We will question whether the opponent's technology is really that strong? What is the ultimate purpose of this competition? Is this a conspiracy? Do they have other plans for mankind?"
Stark still couldn't hold it back, he let out a "chi" laugh, and then said: "Although we are very poor, very weak, and almost useless, we always suspect that all intelligent life will murder us. 5 ”
"After a wave of frenzied discussion, there will definitely be participants and non-participants, as well as the dismissive and non-hearing faction. But it is conceivable that members of these factions will definitely quarrel in various forms. The struggle and wrangling are endless.”
"If the deadline given by this powerful civilization is ten years, then they will argue for ten years. If the deadline given is one hundred years, then they will argue for a hundred years."
"Also, humans are not only suspicious, but also very forgetful."
"Perhaps, when this group of aliens came to inspect the results with great expectations, humans may have already forgotten them."
Schiller folded his arms and said, "Really? That's all you think about? How would you deal with this personally?"
Stark paused and then said: "You asked about the key point. If there is a group of strange aliens running above the earth and asking us to participate in the competition, the first thing that comes to my mind may not be how to win the competition, or even how. Participate in the competition.”
"I would think, since their technological strength is already so strong, they came here in a spaceship and brought equipment, then why do we have to sacrifice the near and far to participate in some competition? Why not just leave them behind? That is not the same Get the resources and technology we want?”
At this time, he seemed to suddenly react, and then said: "Since the Kree have a way to get the Skrulls' battleship, why didn't they do it from the beginning? Why do they want to participate in the competition?"
Just after saying this, Stark was stunned again. He touched his chin and said: "Of course, this must be because I have been with you for a long time. Those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are black. My moral bottom line is The decline must be your problem..."
"If you are infected with this part of the conclusion by me, then should you think more deeply about the answer in your heart?" Schiller said.
Stark frowned and began to think, he said: "...the answer in my heart? What else is there in my heart...well, when I first heard you say this idea, my first reaction was actually , indeed this is not the conclusion.”
"When you said they showed infinite power, was my first reaction true?"
Stark further explained: "What is the so-called infinite power? A huge spaceship? Advanced navigation technology? Star Wars weapons with sufficient firepower?"
"After these questions came up, my first thought was, can't I make it?"
"Other people's resources and technology belong to others after all. They gave us a spaceship. Then if the spaceship breaks down, we have to go to them to repair it. They give us energy. If there is no energy in the future, we have to go to them. want."
"I would rather be a pauper than a beggar."
"The road of exploration never ends. The so-called infinite power is just a small threshold on the road of scientific exploration. Just because they are walking faster than me does not mean that they will go further than me."

"At the beginning, if the Kree thought like you, they would not be fighting back and forth with the current New Skrull Empire."
After speaking, Schiller went on to conclude: "In this scenario, you should have discovered that the only thing that can defeat greed is deeper greed, and the only thing that can defeat arrogance is greater arrogance."
"Humanity will never be satisfied. The victory condition you promised is one spaceship, and we want ten. You promised ten spaceships, and we want to swallow the fleet you sent together."
"Human beings don't think about how to win the game, but how to destroy the game."
"The moment we sit down at the poker table, we have only one goal, which is to defeat all opponents, including the dealer. No one can stand alone."
"And what makes you refuse the help of higher civilizations is not restraint and reason, but sooner or later you will surpass their arrogance. As a surface creature, you have begun to despise the arrogance of interstellar civilizations."
"Okay, I admit it." Stark nodded and said, "I'm just arrogant, so what about scientist Skrull? Has that Arengal made any decent achievements?"
"The so-called top scientist of the Skrull Empire has worked in my laboratory for so long, and the only decent result he has produced is the application of dark elf light masking technology."
Stark touched the eyes on his visor and said: "So far, this technology can only allow us to see the sun without dazzling us. If we really want to achieve instant cooling and heat shielding, there are several other technologies. Difficulties need to be overcome.”
"Skrull is nothing more than a genius scientist, and the so-called three empires of the universe are just developing earlier and faster."
"The gap of a hundred years is just that I have to work a little longer, the gap of a thousand years is just that the genius scientists of all mankind have to be busy a little longer, and the gap of ten thousand years... I have to say that Peter did a good job, in the multiverse The villain scientists and Spider-Man still made a lot of contributions.”
A smile appeared on Stark's face under his visor, and he said: "How ridiculous it sounds. The vast majority of human beings can't even leave the earth now, but I dare to say such things as catching up with or even surpassing the three empires." ”
"The fireflies dared to compete with the bright moon because they didn't know how bright the moon was. But now, not only do we know how bright the moon is, we also brought a spaceship and hit the moon's head directly."
Stark shook his head and said to Schiller: "You are encouraging this kind of greed and arrogance, allowing these little fireflies to prematurely master the means of blowing up the moon, so that we no longer have anything to do with it. of awe..."
"But sometimes I also wonder, how far do you want to achieve it? If you don't have a grand enough goal, then what you do against these cosmic empires is actually redundant."
"Judging from the current situation, even if there is no windfall from them, human beings will develop steadily and one day, they will be able to step into the universe and compete with these behemoths."
"But what I want is not a fight." Schiller shook his head and said, "Defeat them, conquer them, and destroy them. This is a road destined to perish."
"I am willing to provide more help to Asgard, not only because they are the masters of the nine kingdoms and can provide protection for mankind, but more importantly, they have reached the end of the road of conquest."
"They have already tried and made mistakes for us. This path will not work. What brings about Ragnarok may be some mysterious existence that we don't understand yet, or it may be the will of this universe."
"But in short, the ever-increasing power and constant creation of war and chaos will only bring destruction. With Asgard's lessons learned, humans no longer need to follow this path."
"Then what do you want to do?" Stark asked.
"The Skrulls have good ideals, but this seems like a doomed tragedy."
"Using limited resources to export without asking for anything in return will inevitably weaken oneself. But if one asks for something in return, people's hearts will inevitably fall to the judgment of gains and losses, thus forgetting the original ideal."
"The more you care about interests, the more you forget your original intention. In the end, those who are unjust will inevitably have few helpers. If you want to regain your reputation, you can only take the road of conquest and destruction."
"It sounds like this is a dead end, but in fact, it is only 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 raises another question. After productivity reaches its limit, and on the premise that all resources in the universe can be maximized, will the resources in the universe be enough to feed all civilizations?"
Stark shook his head and said: "Civilizations are constantly being born, and more and more resources are required. If all civilizations can develop to their peak steadily and never die, then there will be a day when the universe cannot support them."
"You said that the road of conquest and destruction is unreachable, so does this road definitely work?"
"Not necessarily." To Stark's surprise, Schiller gave a straightforward negative answer, and then said: "But if you don't let me go to the end of this road, you will never be able to convince me that this road will not succeed."
"But then again, if I really climb to the top, take all the intelligent life in the universe, and find an ultimate answer for all civilizations, but still fail, I have already found a reason to comfort myself."
"After all, those who have taken this road have long understood from the fall of a behemoth that this road is not about reaching the end. Only then can you win."
"Only by trying can you know the vastness of the sky and the vastness of the sea. What is important is not necessarily the result, but also... having been here."
