Chapter 336 S: Glorious Event (XVI)

In a space filled with white mist, a very abrupt building rose from the ground. It looked like Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, but it was different. The appearance of Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters was basically made of dark red bricks. , and here it turns into a dark blue, but other than that, most of the structure is the same.

Looking through the windows of this discolored version of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, the scene inside is astonishing.

It is not surprising that Iceman, Rugrats, Storm and others appear here, because they are members of Xavier's school themselves, but the remaining people such as Polaris, Twinkle, and Quicksilver should have been closer to the Brotherhood of Mutants. But at this time, he was also sitting in the classroom.

What's even more surprising is that the person standing on the podium is not Jean Gray or Professor X, but Stark.

Stark stood on the podium, with Bruce Banner standing next to him. Starkoff touched the corners of his eyebrows, looked at the students below, and sighed deeply.

At this time, Professor

Professor .

Professor

Polaris rolled his eyes, as if he was about to say something, but before he could say anything, Stark said: "Yes, school, I really hope that this place can transform you wastes into smarter ones, even if they are... From negative to zero, I would like to thank God.”

His words were very straightforward and his tone was very harsh. Logically speaking, the mutants who followed Magneto had bad tempers. But this time, the people led by Polaris just made a breathy sound from their noses. He crossed his arms and said nothing.

And what exactly is going on and why they have this attitude must start from three days ago.

After Captain America's speech to the Security Council, Nick gained the greatest power during the special period, and therefore, Project Brilliance was officially launched.

Before the formal launch of this plan, scientists represented by Banner, Connors and Stark, as well as foreign aid Reed, had made most of the preparations and were just waiting for on-site inspections.

But the problem lies in this field trip.

Going to Mercury is not just like going to the moon to find something to take people there. Stark has a mecha that can move in the universe, and he also prepared one for Banner who is going with him.

This armor can withstand high and low temperatures and provide life-sustaining materials, which ensures that they can move freely on Mercury.

But these are not enough. The environment of the universe is unpredictable, and entering the universe for the first time is accompanied by great dangers. In order to ensure that these precious scientists can stay safe no matter what situation they encounter, there are several more people who will follow them to Mercury. Mutants.

Polaris, Iceman, Shockwave and Blink, these four mutants can be said to be very powerful, and each of them has their own abilities, including the ability to deal with almost all dangers. Logically speaking, such a pair of brains and strength With the combination, landing on Mercury shouldn't be a big problem.

Originally, they had expected this. The first half of the plan to log in to Mercury went smoothly. The mage opened a portal and sent them to the surface of Mercury.

But the landing site is still a certain distance from the South Pole of Mercury. They need to walk there. At this time, the ability of Blink can come in handy. Her ability is to transport people. What is better than the portal is that The landing point is very precise and does not require casting time. It is very suitable for dealing with dangers that need to be avoided quickly.

Stark's original plan was to have the wizard open the portal a certain distance away from the South Pole. They could also inspect the landforms of Mercury along the way. After collecting enough information, Blink would take them to the Pole. .

But when the information was collected and Stark asked Blink to transport them, Blink asked a very soulful question: "...Where is the South Pole?"

Stark's eyes widened and he asked: "The pole is the South Pole, don't you know?"

"Of course I know the South Pole. I have also been to the South Pole of the Earth. The penguins there are quite cute, but this is not the Earth. How do I know where the South Pole is?"

Stark opened his mouth. In his opinion, this was a very simple question. He only needed to know the orbit and rotational inclination of Mercury.

He wanted to open his mouth to explain to Twinkle, but when he thought about it, in order to explain the orbit and rotation inclination, he had to talk about revolution and rotation. To talk about revolution and rotation, he had to start with the gravitational field. Mentioning the four basic forces...

For a moment, all this knowledge went through Stark's mind. He glanced at the sun that was so close to Chi Chi, felt the heat coming from the mecha, and looked helplessly at Polaris and said, "Your ability can be controlled. Magnetism, right? Mercury has a global magnetic field. You can find the north and south poles by following the magnetic lines. Find the south pole and let her take us there."

Polaris closed her eyes, and after a few seconds, she said, "I found it."

Then several mutants looked at each other, and Polaris asked, "How should I describe to you the spot I found?"

Stark covered his forehead, but Banner was more patient. He said, "Do you know the positioning method? We can take the simpler one..."

"...What positioning method?"

Banner looked at the North Star and said, "It's the point positioning method. Don't you know? It's to find three points..."

Banner was about to explain, but he thought that to talk about what the three-point positioning method is, we must first talk about what a triangle is. To talk about what a triangle is, we have to mention trigonometric identities and trigonometry. When we mention trigonometric identities, we have to talk about trigonometric functions...

Banner also sighed. He looked at Twinkle and said, "Even if we give you a complete map now, you can't locate it, right?"

"In fact, there is another way. You just need to give me a direction, and then I will take you to teleport little by little. You will definitely pass by the South Pole because the planet is round." Twinkle shrugged and said.

Stark was almost suffocating. If he said what he learned from the first landing, it was that he should never pin his hopes on others, especially mutants.

But it must be said that what Twinkle proposed was also a solution. The limit of Twinkle's teleportation ability is the distance from the earth to the moon, and the diameter of Mercury is only two-fifths of the earth. Therefore, even if it is teleported again and again, it does not take too long to go around a circle. As long as a certain landing point is close to the South Pole, the North Star will be sensed, and then they can land at the South Pole...

But Stark never dreamed that he would need to use the exhaustive method when he wanted to determine a location.

Twinkle led the group of people to work for a long time, and finally landed at the South Pole. At this time, Banner and Stark were a little dizzy. They were still ordinary humans and were a little carsick for fast teleportation.

But at least they arrived at the destination. At this time, it was Shockwave's turn to play. There was a crater at the South Pole of Mercury. Shockwave needed to dig a downward tunnel here and then explore downward.

The reason why machines are not used for this job is that the density of Mercury is very high. If you want to go deep underground, the exploration drill can only use vibranium or adamantium, and the loss will be very large. In order to save money for the earth, Stark still chooses mutants who do not need to pay.

But the facts prove that there is nothing in this world that does not cost money. Shockwave's ability is indeed very strong. He does not need to wear a mecha to move freely in the universe, and can also absorb the energy of the sun and convert it into shockwaves.

The only problem was that he couldn't quite understand the survey map drawn by Stark. He flew up to the air with the survey map, looked at the map, looked at the ground, looked at the map again, looked at the ground again, and looked at the map again. After looking at it for a long time, he didn't do anything, but flew back and asked Stark: "Why is there no crater on your map?"

"No crater?... Isn't it here?" Stark walked over and pointed at the map and said: "Look here, do you see this string of data? You have to follow here..."

"What is this string of data?... What is this?"

"This is a scale, do you see this point I drew? You have to open a perfect circle at a scale of 1:1000, and at the same time, you have to open a tangent with a depth of only half here, and here..."

Half an hour later, Shockwave flew up to the air again, and then shot out a scorching ray shockwave with his arm. Stark stood on the surface of Mercury with his hands on his hips, looking at the map on the ground, and shouted while looking: "Stop! You drew it wrong! ! What is that in your hand? That's a map, follow the map!!!"

"I followed the map!! "Shockwave shouted.

"But I want a perfect circle. What shape did you cut? A slice of bread?!"

"But I'm controlling it manually. How can it be so accurate?!"

"I marked the allowable error above! Didn't you see? The allowable error on the west side is larger. Why did you go north?"

"This is not the Earth. How do I know where the west is?!"

Half an hour later, Stark and Banner sighed again. Banner supported Stark's shoulders and said, "That's it. It's just a preliminary exploration anyway. It's enough to be able to enter the bottom of the crater."

Stark said nothing and walked towards the pit created by the shock wave.

The shock wave opened a hole in the middle of the crater. When Flash and several people were teleported down, Bruce screamed and sat down on the ground directly. Because there was a bulge where he landed, he tripped directly.

"Swords Come"

Stark looked back, sighed again, and said to Shockwave: "Don't you know the importance of safe operation?"

Before Shockwave could refute, Stark said: "Come on, dig a tunnel here."

Then he turned around, pulled Iceman over, and said: "When he digs a tunnel, you use your ice-making ability to build a support structure to prevent the tunnel from collapsing."

Stark took out the blueprint again. This time, before Iceman could say anything, Stark took a look at the blueprint himself, then threw it back and said: "Forget it, you can't understand it anyway. In short, he digs a tunnel, and you make something to support the tunnel so that we can go in."

"Okay, no problem." Iceman nodded.

Shockwave made a thinner ray and began to slowly dig a tunnel. A tunnel appeared in front of several people.

Iceman squatted down and touched the ground with his hand. In an instant, the ice layer spread along the tunnel. At this time, Banner stopped his next move and said, "Your support structure is not good. It will collapse if you go forward. According to structural mechanics, you must make a support point here, and here, it needs to bear weight..."

Although Iceman didn't understand, he had a better temper than the others. He did what Banner said. After several hours, they finally walked into the tunnel.

Then it was repeated work. Stark searched for possible ice layers under Mercury and recorded the underground rock structure.

After running in for a long time, the few people finally cooperated well, but when Banner and Bruce were collecting data in an underground cave, a fierce quarrel broke out between Shockwave Polaris and Iceman.

Not long ago, they had a quarrel. If Charles and Magneto hadn't reached a temporary agreement and asked them to come together to perform the mission, the three of them would still be in a cold war.

Needless to say, what would be the consequences of forcing the cold war people together? Shockwave suspected that Iceman was trying to steal his girlfriend, Polaris thought that Shockwave was being unreasonable, and Iceman stood up for Polaris. As a result, Shockwave felt that the two had betrayed him...

Stark was collecting rock samples when he heard a "boom" from behind. Then, the ice pillars supporting the underground structure began to collapse layer by layer. In an instant, Flash appeared beside the two and transported them to the surface with a "whoosh".

Just as they fell to the ground, a loud rumbling sound came from the center of the crater in front of them. With a "boom", the entire center of the crater collapsed...

Shockwave, Polaris and Iceman crawled out in disgrace, facing Stark's face as black as the bottom of a pot.
