Capítulo 793: Chapter 542: Bad Luck for the Zitari People (Part 2)_2

According to the data Loki passed on, the Zitari civilization is just advanced enough for Earth to learn from. Stark pulled back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue. He considered it for a moment, then said:

"I've ordered Mercury Base to hastily assemble some cleanup robots. However, the debris produced might be even more, and the robots might not be able to clean it all up. If it isn't cleared properly, it might affect the incoming ships."

"How about this, Steve, you contact Professor X, ask if Magneto is around..."

Steve looked confused for a moment, not understanding why the current situation had turned out this way. But he instinctually picked up another phone and called Charles. After hanging up the phone, he said to Stark, "Magneto isn't around, but his daughter Polaris is."

"Alright, that works. Have those mutants with symbionts accompany her to the base I've set up and clean up the nearby wreckage so they can gather it together. This makes it easier for the cleanup robots to pick them up."

"Also, have Nick's Sky Carrier handle the debris that has been caught by Earth's gravity and is relatively close. Remember, make sure it doesn't fall and hit anyone."

Before hanging up the phone, Stark let out a sigh, saying, "Tell him to clear out some more storage. In the coming period, research materials might be more than he expected."

When Stark said this, Steve and Natasha didn't realize the severity of the situation and didn't specifically emphasize this point with Nick.

They contacted Professor X again and, according to Stark's plan, sent Polaris into space to clean up the exploded ship wrecks.

This was the first time Polaris had been given such a significant task, previously she had been jealous of the other mutants with symbionts that had been able to take on various tasks with The Avengers.

Now, for her first mission, she had received such a big project. She felt as though this was the reward of her dedicated learning.

After this period of study, Polaris had greatly improved. For such a weak student in basic studies, it was easy to make progress, especially since she had almost identical superpowers to Magneto.

After going into space, a few of the symbionts accompanied Polaris to the temporary base that Stark had built using automatic construction robots. After entering the base, Polaris waved them away, "You guys can go back first, just leave this area to me."

After that, she started looking at the map and monitoring screen. In reality, both Polaris and Magneto could have used their magnetism to survive in space. The reason she decided to stay in the base was to move the debris to the designated sites marked on Stark's map.

The form of the map showed how much Stark feared Polaris wouldn't be able to read the map. The entire map was three-dimensional with Earth at its center. Precise locations were indicated for each piece of debris. Even icons were drawn. The target site on another 3D map also showed each corresponding icon where the debris was supposed to be dragged to.

In contrast, even an average student without space operation training could understand this map. Essentially, it was no different from an online game quest. They just had to click the bright spots.

Discovering that this was not a problem at all, Polaris rolled up her sleeves, preparing to show off her skills.

All she had to do was fly out from the top of the base. She glanced downwards and could still see the maps, while the rest of space was completely open around her.

She waved her hand and the scattered parts started to move at an extremely fast speed. However, when they reached the designated spot, they would suddenly stop. This was completely against the normal rules of motion.

Next, Polaris created something similar to the magnetic cage that Magneto had previously created, which wrapped around the parts.

Then, a unique glow came from her eyes and a tiny light spot appeared above the cage.

The light spot blinked a few times, but then disappeared. Polaris frowned and tried again, but it still didn't work. Stark connected with the communicator in her ear, asking, "What are you doing? Can't you just drag all the stuff over?"

"That would be too slow," Polaris responded. "I've seen Magneto do it before. He created a wormhole, you know wormholes, right? They're the kind that can teleport."

"He can even create wormholes???" Stark's voice raised. "Is there anything he can't do?! "

Polaris snorted proudly, but after a while, she said somewhat anxiously, "I don't know why, but I replicated his operation and failed. In theory, my power should be enough."

"Do you know what a wormhole is?" Stark asked.

"I've read the texts and understand the basic concept, but the theories are too complicated. I can't understand them at all."

Stark stroked his chin, asking, "How big can your wormholes be?"

"In theory, they can be infinitely large. But, in practice, there are a lot of restrictions. The one Magneto created was for transporting parts to repair Sky Island, um... it's probably about one-tenth the size of Earth."Polaris answered ambiguously, as she completely didn't understand these kinds of problems. But Stark knew that this was definitely not Magneto's limit.

It was hard to imagine how important it was for anyone with an ounce of strategic vision to have a teleporter that could respond at any time in interstellar warfare.

And instead of needing any external conditions to set up this human teleporter, just sending over one person was enough. Besides Magneto's wormholes, there were also the portals created by mages; they were of all sorts of sizes and types. Whatever size needed, they had.

Stark discovered that his plan, which was being carried out step by step, seemed a bit conservative.

It was as though humans could completely skip over the phase of space development and construction, going straight into the phase of star robbing. Or perhaps they could carry out the two in parallel; one group would go out to rob while another would stay home to build. How efficient would that be?

While Stark was still refining his plans, Polaris repeatedly tried to create a wormhole and failed. She had to use the primitive method of dragging these resources near Mercury.

While she checked the spots that Stark had marked out and back and forth, she watched as the area around Mercury gradually turned prosperous. This type of work was somewhat fulfilling and although it was just moving stuff around, Polaris was quite happy with the result of her first task.

The debris near Earth was bit by bit diminishing. After busying herself for half a day, Polaris was almost finished. But when she was dragging over her last haul, she saw a golden ripple in space not too far away.

Although Polaris was not academically inclined, her sensitivity to changes in magnetism and gravity was innate. Noticing a change in the surrounding gravitational field, she immediately stopped what she was doing.

Seeing the surrounding magnetic field violently changing around the ripple, Polaris frowned. She reached out her hand and with a squeeze of her fist, the ripple that was half opened, went "shush" and closed.
