Chapter 579: The Wormhole Jump Engine Delivered to Your Door

"Hello, I'm Tanlia Tivan."

The white-haired old man extended his hand gracefully.

"Hello, Qingshan Khan."

Fu Qinghai shook it politely.

Although he didn't know why this guy was lying at the door pretending to be a beggar, he might have nothing to do because he was full - after all, for a truly immortal person, this kind of mentality is very common.

"Welcome to the Land of Nothingness."

Tanlia Tiwan chuckled and said:

"As you know, I've been nicknamed The Collector because of my personal hobby. But what many people don't know is that I wasn't always interested in collecting these weird and wonderful things. It was my wife who inspired me to start this hobby."

"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."

Fu Qinghai took the attitude of a listener.

"My wife is also an immortal, oh, the so-called 'Elder of the Universe', but later she got tired of immortality and took the initiative to end her life. Her death made me realize that people must have a hobby in life, a hobby that can sustain life forever."

The collector spoke calmly.

There was no sadness or regret in his expression.

It seems that the long time has diluted these emotions.

"Ah, I see."

Fu Qinghai didn't say anything like "I'm sorry".

Perhaps living too long can really be a torture.

"What about you, Qingshan?"

The collector turned to look at Fu Qinghai:

"What is your hobby?"

My hobby?

Fu Qinghai thought about it seriously.

Is mating a hobby?

No, it is an "animal instinct", a hobby forced upon me by Master Quinto, not my true hobby.

"We are weapons of war designed by humans. We fight for the benefit of mankind. It is our destiny to fight."

Fu Qinghai chose to avoid this question.

"Yes, I see."

The Collector raised his chin and nodded:

"Your hobby is war."

"You might think so."

Fu Qinghai chatted casually with the collector.

Then the old man said goodbye and left.

Fu Qinghai felt that there was nothing to talk about with him.

Fu Qinghai felt that there was always a hint of contempt and disdain in the collector's eyes when he looked at him. Although he didn't know where this emotion came from, Qingshan Khan had not yet become so arrogant as to beat the other person up just because he suspected that the other party might look down on him.

Fu Qinghai and the collector have no basis for cooperation, because this guy collects items purely out of hobby - which can be seen as an extreme form of collecting mania, rather than for trading like the Order-Maintaining Alliance. He will not sell his collection unless Fu Qinghai directly robs his museum.

But that would offend the Order-Maintaining Alliance.

Collectors purchase collections from other people and pay them with the local currency of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fu Qinghai does not need this local currency. He only needs assimilation points. So even if he finds some rare and precious things to sell to collectors, it will be useless to get a lot of local currency.

Of course, the Collector was not someone to be trifled with. The Tiwan Group he controlled was also a very powerful interstellar criminal group that initially made its fortune by digging out the brain tissue and cerebrospinal fluid from the head of the Celestial Being. Without any particularly big interests, Fu Qinghai had no reason to conflict with the Collector.

The reception room returned to its previous state.

"You know what I mean, old man, as someone who has lived for hundreds of millions of years."

Hodge shrugged at Fu Qinghai:

"He has a somewhat strange temper."

"Ha, I don't mind."

Fu Qinghai smiled and said:

"But the red-skinned alien maid that this old man had before was quite pleasing to the eye. I think her name was 'Karina' or something, right? I have some impression of her, but it's a pity that she turned to ashes after touching the Cosmic Orb (Power Stone). "

"Yes, you have a good memory."

Hodge nodded and said:

"This red-skinned alien race is called the Crohns. In the first film of Guardians of the Galaxy, Star-Lord's one-night stand partner is also a Crohn. If you are interested in this race, I can always arrange a date for you."

This guy is quite sensible.

Looking back, Qingshan Khan has never played a red-skinned character, so it does feel a bit strange.

However, Fu Qinghai still declined. Although Zhang Yuning did not come, it was not the time to play with women yet.

He has more important things to do.

"I want to go to Xandar."

Fu Qinghai asked directly:

"How do I get there?"

"How would you like to arrive?"

Hotch asked instead of answering directly.

"What's the difference?"

Fu Qinghai asked back.

"There's a big difference."

Hodge sat up straight and started talking:

"Currently, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are four ways of space jump: wormhole jump, light speed engine, warp engine and rainbow bridge."

"Oh? Tell me more about it."

Fu Qinghai also sat up straight after hearing this.

He was most interested in these technologies.

"First, the most common method: wormhole jump."

Hotch began his introduction again.

…

After listening to his introduction, Fu Qinghai understood.

Wormhole jump is the most common means of superluminal travel currently used by the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the three films of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" series, whether it is the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Predator Fleet or the Sovereign remote-controlled fighters, they all use this method to jump into space.

There are also natural wormholes in the Warhammer 40K universe, but the major races in the Warhammer 40K universe do not use wormhole jumps as the main means of transportation - because there are too few natural wormholes in the universe! Except for the Necrons' Night Scythe, a black-tech troop transport that can capture natural wormholes.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are so many natural wormholes that one can't help but wonder - are these wormholes scattered throughout the universe formed naturally, or were they created by some Marvel super-dimensional civilization?

The Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn't provide an answer.

But Fu Qinghai was a little skeptical, because the way the wormhole in the Marvel movie was opened, a regular hexagonal honeycomb-shaped white transparent "wall" emerged out of thin air in the void... It really didn't look like a natural geographical structure.

The wormhole captured by the Night Scythe does not look like this.

The wormhole in Pacific Rim is not like this either.

"Then the second method is the light speed engine."

Hodge continued his introduction.

Please note that it is a lightspeed engine, which is neither a superluminal engine nor a subluminal engine. It is an engine technology that just reaches the speed of light, no more, no less.

"Unlike the comics, the only light-speed engine that has appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the one developed by the Kree man Mar-Vell, who transformed himself into Professor Lawson and lurked on Earth using the power of the Cosmic Cube (Space Stone) in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Pegasus Project. Unfortunately, this engine was destroyed before it could really show its power, and the energy it released instead allowed Carol Danvers to become Captain Marvel."

Hodge said with some regret.

After all this time, it turns out to be just a special case...

The plot of "Captain Marvel".

"I don't feel any regrets. The engine output alone can reach the speed of light. It must have borrowed the power of the space gem. Otherwise, it would be impossible to do it. It is just something that cannot be copied or mass-produced."

Fu Qinghai shook his head and said.

"Then the third way is warp drive."

Hodge spread his hands and said:

"It might disappoint you even more."

"How do you say it?"

"Because at present, we in the Order Alliance only suspect that the egg-shaped spaceship of Star-Lord's father Ego uses a warp engine to travel, but we have no concrete evidence because we have not boarded that spaceship."

Hotch explained.

"It's just a guess?"

Fu Qinghai asked with a pursed lip.

"Yes."

Hodge admitted honestly.

"I'm sure you're familiar with the last one."

Hodge changed the subject and said,

"Asgard's Rainbow Bridge, Thor once mentioned it to his girlfriend Jane Foster when they were chatting: Asgard's 'Rainbow Bridge Theory' is somewhat similar to Earth's 'Einstein-Rosen Bridge Theory', but in fact the two are completely different principles. The 'Einstein-Rosen Bridge' theory is closer to the 'Wormhole Theory'. And if Thor calls Heimdall's name from anywhere in the Nine Realms, Heimdall will be able to hear and see it, and then activate the Burtsteel Guardian Sword to take him away."

"That is pure magic."

Fu Qinghai nodded and commented.

After talking for a long time, among the four ways of space jump, Fu Qinghai can only use wormhole jump. However, this method of wormhole jump has a very obvious disadvantage - the diameter of the wormhole is limited, which leads to the size of the spacecraft that can pass through it is also limited, and most wormholes are very narrow.

The Benatar and Milano of the Guardians of the Galaxy were only small spaceships - although much larger than the Sovereign and Nova Corps fighters, and the regular hexagonal transparent box of the wormhole was only slightly larger than them - the Rectification was twelve kilometers long.

The wormholes in other universes are of the same nature. The wormholes captured by the Necrons' Night Scythe can only be used to transport infantry units, and even the Tomb Blade cannot pass through them. The wormholes in the Pacific Rim universe are a little larger and can barely allow Titan units to pass through, but neither can be used as a passage for warships.

Besides, according to what Hodge said.

A special engine is also needed for wormhole jump here.

Could it be that the Rectification was still unable to move... But even if he didn't take the Rectification, the Thunderhawk gunship didn't have this kind of wormhole jump engine, maybe he could only install one temporarily?

Fu Qinghai just felt a headache, thinking that there were so many problems to solve in space travel, why couldn't he just brush them off like those brainless and cool novels?

Or how about renting a local spaceship in the void first?

This option just emerged in Fu Qinghai's mind.

"Khan!"

A voice came from the communication channel next to my neck.

They are the three soldiers who stayed behind on the Thunder Eagle gunboat.

"What's wrong?"

Fu Qinghai asked.

"We were just attacked by the enemy. Someone tried to seize the Thunderhawk gunboat, but we repelled them. Because we are not familiar with the terrain here, we chose not to pursue them."

The Space Marine said in a deep voice.

What the hell? How dare you rob my boat?

"What did the attacker look like?"

Fu Qinghai asked coldly.

At the same time he looked up at Hodge.

Hodge understood and picked up a pen and paper.

"Uh, a very strange combination. I can't quite describe it... a human male, a skinny green-skinned man, a strong alien with gray skin and red markings, a canine that can use weapons, and a humanoid sapling that can walk upright? I know it's a bit outrageous, Khan."

The Space Marine said hesitantly.

Hear a description of his appearance.

Fu Qinghai was stunned immediately.

Isn't this... Guardians of the Galaxy?
