Glory of the Sun God (Marvel Sun God)

"Entrust me with the future of mankind?"

Hearing such a sentence suddenly, Smith Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then immediately showed an expression that said, "You're going to make fun of me again." .biquge

Let’s not talk about whether it is reliable to entrust the future of mankind to one person. Just whether Stark and others, as the ruling class, will trust him so much is a question worthy of discussion.

He didn't believe that the Starks could be so stupid as to place their trust in someone they had no control over.And just as he thought, Stark did not intend to place all his hopes on him.He only trusted a small part of it, and to put it more specifically, Stark regarded him as one of many henchmen.

"Yes, the future of mankind. Of course, I am only referring to one of the hopes for the future of mankind. Just like we will not put our eggs in one basket, we cannot only put our eggs in one basket when it comes to major issues related to the future of mankind. Hope rests on you alone.”

"I can understand that this is a wise move. However, I still don't quite understand. What is this hope you call?"

Smith Zhou didn't care about the considerations that Stark made for his own position. What he cared about more was his idea itself and what methods he had prepared.Regarding this point, Stark himself had no intention of showing off, so he told Smith Zhou directly.

"I plan to build a fleet of spaceships that humans can use to escape into space, with you and several other people with special talents as the captains in charge of the overall situation. When humans encounter dangers that they cannot resist, you will shoulder the final responsibility. The mission, with the help of artificial intelligence, carries humanity’s last hope to the outside of the earth to find a new home for the rebirth and continuation of our race.”

After revealing his plan in one breath, Stark inevitably felt anxious.Although he has realized that Smith Zhou is a smart man, he cannot say with certainty that Smith Zhou will agree with his plan.

The smarter people are, the easier it is for them to disagree on certain issues.After all, smart people always think a lot, and it is not easy to expect two smart people to urinate into the same pot unless they have the same feelings and interests.

Stark did not expect Smith Zhou to fully agree with his idea. He only hoped that Smith Zhou would not object and cooperate as much as possible.What he didn't expect was that Smith Zhou unexpectedly agreed with him on this issue and agreed with him almost without hesitation.

"This idea sounds very creative. In fact, if that is possible, I do not object to the feeling of being a captain. However, Mr. Stark, human technology has now developed to such a point that it is enough to support what you said Are you planning this space exile?"

"You mean interstellar navigation?" Stark knew what Smith Zhou was talking about, and for such a question.He pursed his lips first, and then said in an uncertain tone. "From a scientific research point of view, the technology is basically mature. Space flight and exploration are not a problem for us. The problem is that with the curvature engine, for now, we can only initially achieve sublight speed. Just jump."

"Even if we sail through the universe at the speed of light, it will be a long enough journey. After all, compared to the vastness of the universe, we are really too small. And if we want to travel in such an endless world Finding our next home in the universe will probably take hundreds of years."

"I'm not worried about energy. The large Ark reactor can provide us with enough energy to support our spacecraft for such a long journey. The problem is that other consumable resources, whether food or daily necessities, cannot satisfy several Ten thousand people have consumed it for such a long time.”

"Tens of thousands of people? Do you plan to bring so many humans with you?"

Just thinking about the scale of tens of thousands of people crammed into a spaceship is shocking.Because this is not about building a square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, but building a spacecraft that can carry tens of thousands of people on space travel, ensuring their smooth navigation while also meeting all their daily needs.

In addition to the necessary power and protective devices for the spacecraft, there must also be a huge resource regeneration system to sustain these human consumption.This includes possible crop cultivation, animal breeding, and if possible, providing certain living and entertainment facilities for humans.Of course, maintenance equipment such as factories are also essential.It would take hundreds of years for such a huge spaceship to fly. It would be impossible to say that there would be no problems at all during this period.Even for precautionary reasons, it is essential to prepare specialized maintenance equipment.

This will be a big project, and it will probably be very difficult to implement such a big project, even if the country is the builder.

This is what Smith Zhou couldn't understand.If a big country like the United States can still afford to build two or three spaceships of this size, then looking at the entire world, it is estimated that only the big country in the East can do the same thing.

Russia may have the ability, but its economy cannot support it.As for the countries in Europe, unless they can work together, it is simply impossible to build a spacecraft of this size.And expecting them to work together is no joke.It would be great if those small countries with backward industrial strength do not hold back on this matter.

In general, this kind of thing may be possible, but it is almost impossible to apply to all countries.And considering that this may be the only possibility for human beings to retain hope at a critical moment, it is conceivable how many nasty things can break out in the meantime.

From this perspective, Stark's idea may be too naive. It is difficult to say how this plan will turn into a reality due to the ghosts in people's hearts.However, who can say for sure that Stark and the others really can't do this?

There may be some difficulties and obstacles involved, but in the face of the entire human survival problem, no matter how many problems and obstacles there are, they will probably only be crushed.Smith Zhou did not doubt that Stark and the others could achieve the step they expected, and as someone with another potential identity, he was also happy to see such a result.

Human beings have spread their footprints to the stars and the sea, which is tantamount to expanding the territory of human beings in disguise.And for him who already regards the entire human race as something in his palm, this also expands his interests, doesn't it?

Anyway, no matter where these spaceships fly, they cannot escape his grasp, and when he has finished cleaning up the mess in this world, the places radiated by those spaceships will naturally become benefits that he can easily receive.This was a real benefit, and he really couldn't find any reason to refuse it.Naturally, he nodded to Stark.

"Very well, if you decide to do this, I will vote in favor. I believe my words still have some weight."

Smith Zhou was very confident when he said this. Of course, he did have reasons for being so confident.By default, he has solved the crisis for the world, and his own prestige will reach a very high level.Although the human government will not make this kind of thing public out of tacit understanding, within themselves, Smith Zhou's opinion will also become an important factor that cannot be ignored.

Once he expresses his position, even if some people are unwilling, they will have to take his opinion seriously.This would play a crucial role, and Stark knew it.So he nodded gratefully to Smith Zhou, and then asked a key question.

"Thank you for your support, Mr. Zhou. So, if everything goes well, how can I contact you?"

"Huiyao City, where my son lives. You should know."

Smith Zhou's answer made Stark somewhat unexpected.As far as he knew, the relationship between father and son should not be very good.With such a bad father-son relationship, Zhou Yi has almost always shut out his nominal father. Who would have thought that when Zhou Yi was missing, he would actually choose to take advantage of it.

Yes, take advantage of the situation.Stark could only think of such an Eastern idiom to describe his inner feelings.And as if he saw what he was thinking, Smith Zhou smiled indifferently at first, and then said to him like this.

"It seems that you also know the bad relationship between me and him, but this doesn't change the connection between us that comes from blood, right?"

"Of course. Some things really can't be changed."

Stark, who is already a father and has had the same problem, obviously understands this problem deeply.He knows very well that a son cannot understand his father many times.But since you are a son, one day you will understand what your father is thinking.This is father and son, this is the bond of blood.

He himself had come from here, so he also hoped that Zhou Yi and his father could also come to this point.In any case, it is better for the two of them to reconcile while his father is alive than for Zhou Yi to regret it if Smith Zhou dies.This is an expectation for friends, and it is a good thing.At least that's what he thinks.And with this self-righteous expectation, he blessed Smith Zhou like this.

"I hope something can turn around between you two. After all, we are a family. There is really no need to turn the relationship into this!"

"I hope so. But I think you also know that guy's character. Changing his mind is not something that can be done casually. I can only do my best."

Rubbing his eyebrows, Smith Zhou looked distressed.Of course, this is not just a pretense, but he has really struggled with this problem.

If Zhou Yi was someone who could be persuaded so easily, then he wouldn't have to wait until now. The world would already be in the hands of their father and son.However, Zhou Yi simply rejected him on this issue, and he had no choice but to use some special means to achieve his own goals.

This was an unbearable past that gave him a headache and made him sad.So even if he brought up this topic, he no longer had the intention to continue it.For him, in the current situation, there are still many things that need to be handled by him personally, and no matter which thing is singled out, it will be more important than talking to Stark here.Therefore, he deliberately raised his hand, made a gesture of looking at his watch, and said this to Stark.

"Sorry, I'm still in a hurry. So if I can, I think it's time for me to say goodbye to you!"

"Of course, of course, you can do it yourself"

Stark had no reason to ask Smith to stay here. In other words, instead of having him face to face with this guy all the time, he would rather keep a safe distance between them.

Because after experiencing all these crises, Smith Zhou's threat in his eyes has been elevated to an unsurpassable level.If before this, he still had doubts about whether Smith Zhou could bear the title of Zhou Yi's father, then now, he is obviously sure.

With such overwhelming power, this power that almost makes humans powerless, it can be said that it is carved from the same mold as Zhou Yi.The old saying, like father, like son, is aptly applied here.

And under such a huge difference, he was already instinctively in awe of Smith Zhou's existence.Even though he knew very well that he and Smith Zhou were friends rather than enemies, instinctive matters were beyond his control.

Just like ants and humans.Once an ant recognizes the existence of humans, it will instinctively want to stay away from this existence that can destroy itself at any time.For the same reason, Stark was unwilling to have too much contact with a guy who could crush him to death at any time.Perhaps he was once arrogant and believed that human efforts were enough to catch up with this innate gap, but as events developed, everything appeared in front of him and was beyond his control. , the arrogance in his heart has been beaten away.

He must admit the insignificance of human beings and their powerlessness.When facing powerful beings like Thanos, Dormammu and even Smith Chow, all their efforts are nothing more than a fleeting and ridiculous thing.The only ones they can rely on are those who can compete with them, and they can only rely on the protection of these monsters.And whether this kind of protection is a good thing or a bad thing, at this time, he can no longer control so much.

The storm, the stormy seas, it has come to such a time, what else can you ask for from a captain holding a broken rudder?It’s just a matter of doing your best and obeying fate.
