"They have completely lost the news. I have used all available methods, but I have not been able to find them... I guess they are no longer on Earth." Banner said bitterly.
The situation before us was already one of the worst possible scenarios, only better than the three of them lying dead on the spot.
Kai squinted his eyes and looked at Banner. He was not angry. On the contrary, he was very angry. But the question is, is there any point in being angry now? Yelling won't change anything. In fact, Kai's temper has changed a lot since time travel, and no matter how angry he is, he rarely shows it.
Banner's feeling was completely different. He felt a wave of killing intent coming towards him, and even the Hulk in his body was ready to move at this moment. He and Hulk had an agreement. Normally, Hulk would not come out to cause trouble, and would only be in class. He will only come out when Na is in danger.
Now that Hulk is ready to move, it means that he is now in danger...
But Banner still suppressed Hulk. After all, he didn't think Hulk was Kai's opponent when he came out. Besides, he... didn't care. Although the mastermind of this incident is Tony, the problem is that the mastermind is missing. Doesn’t the responsibility fall on him as an accomplice?
He now regrets agreeing to Tony's request at that time. After all, their research on space technology is still in the preliminary stage. They shouldn't be so hasty to practice it, even if they do some experiments first?
But soon Banner shook his head mentally again.
No, he should regret that he should not have participated in this mysterious Laoshizi Illuminati at all!
Kai took a few deep breaths and put away the anger in his heart. Banner couldn't be blamed for this incident at all. Kai thought he knew Tony's temperament. He originally thought that he would restrain himself after following him for so long. As a result, this guy accidentally got such a big surprise.
"I understand, leave the rest to me." Kai said to Banner, then turned to Pepper and said, "I will bring Tony back."
Pepper opened her mouth, but didn't say much in the end.
…
"Guys! Are you okay?!" Tony finally saw Strange and Richards.
To be honest, this feels more exciting than the last time I was kidnapped and rescued. After all, this is an unfamiliar alien planet... This place is so unfamiliar. The person who was kidnapped before was still on Earth, but now, he was suddenly transported to outer space!
This feels really bad.
He was afraid that he would be unlucky if he really landed on a deserted and uninhabited planet.
Fortunately, there are intelligent creatures here, and they can communicate with each other.
What's even better is that the other party also led him to find a companion.
Now I can understand what it means to meet an old friend in a foreign land.
For the first time, he felt that Strange, the Sima-faced person, was so kind.
"Are you okay, Tony? This time scared me to death. I'm still thinking about how to explain this to others when I get back. If something really happened to you, I really doubt Kai would just tear us apart." Richards was truly relieved.
As we all know, Kai and Tony have a very good relationship, and everyone even agrees that they are a superhero team, well, just like the Fantastic Four.
If something really happened to Tony, Richards couldn't say how Kai would react.
After all, Kai's impression on the outside world has always been that of being ruthless and showing no mercy. If you say that Kai can solve the case, everyone has no objection, but if you say that Kai can be merciful... let alone ordinary people, even superhero fans don't believe it.
Kai gives the impression that he shows no mercy. You can see this just by looking at his file in the police station. The number of prisoners killed is enough to strengthen the company. If the general environment had not changed now and the power behind Kai was amazing, Kai would have been labeled as a murderer. The hat was heavily criticized.
But just like that, it’s not like there haven’t been negative comments about Kai before. Many people think that as a police officer, Kai is too...harsh. After all, prisoners are human beings too. After all, he was interrogated and killed so cleanly...it doesn't look good on the police's image.
In fact, because of Kai, the Public Relations Department and Internal Investigation Department of the Chicago Police Department, Los Angeles Police Department, and New York Police Department all had a headache for Kai. He was happy to kill, and they were in charge of all the public relations and wrangling.
The Internal Investigation Department, in particular, had no idea what to do with Kai. Firstly, Kai did it too cleanly and had no handle at all. Secondly, Kai had a great background and strong abilities. They couldn't find anything, so they were very confused.
Closer to home, Richards was really scared that something was going to happen and Kai was indiscriminate.
it's good now.
If Tony is okay, they will be okay.
"Tsk..." Speaking of this, Tony only poked Yahuazi. This time they disappeared, Kai would definitely find out. He hasn't figured out how to explain it yet. Although he is an adult and does not need to report his affairs to Kai, Tony still feels guilty.
"Can we not mention him now? We still don't know what's going on on the other side of the earth. If something goes wrong because of us, let alone you, I will be torn into pieces as well."
Speaking of this, the three people were silent for a while.
"It's true... we were a little too aggressive," Richards reflected.
While the three of them were still thinking about it.
Suddenly a dwarf guard found them.
The lord wanted to see them.
"Hey, my friends on Earth, did you have a good rest last night?" Grim Poloxen asked loudly to Strange and the others.
Tony asked softly: "Why, you made friends overnight?"
"Strange lent him his cloak, and the dwarf lord treated us as honored guests," Richards said in a low voice.
Richards had a good chat with Grim Pollockson yesterday, but when he found out that Strange's cloak was a magic cloak, he immediately became extremely enthusiastic about Strange.
In the end, Grim Pollockson made a deal with Strange, and he agreed to send them back to Earth as long as he would lend him his levitation cloak.
Dwarves' desire for magical items is second only to their love of gold.
And it’s also an artifact like the levitating cloak.
He didn't grab it because he knew Strange was a disciple of Ancient One and was afraid of causing trouble.
But this thing was right in front of him, and he couldn't help but want to take a good look at it, even if he couldn't learn anything from it, it would still be a great experience.
After Strange exchanged a few words with Grim Pollockson.
Grim Polokson finally gave the correct answer.
They can return to Asgard with Asgard's transport ship.
Return to Earth from Asgard.
"What? Can't we just go back to Earth from here?"
"Friend, I know you want to go home, but directly crossing the space channel is a very dangerous behavior, at least without the right method, it is very dangerous."
Grim Poloxen persuaded.
"Is there nothing you dwarves can do?"
"Sorry, not really."
Dwarves are native creatures of Nidaville and did not immigrate from the earth. They came into contact with Asgard a long time ago, but it was Asgard that found them at that time, not them. of the earth.
After Asgard left the earth and developed the Rainbow Bridge, there was no need to use the primitive method to cross the nine realms, and the dwarves also took advantage of it.
"No problem! As long as we get to Asgard, we can go home by ourselves! I have acquaintances there!" Tony stood up immediately and happily agreed to the other party's method.
Grimm and Strange looked over and were both surprised.
"Tin Woodman, do you know the Asgardians?" Grim asked curiously. In fact, at first glance among the three of them, Grim had the best impression of Tony because his dress matched their aesthetics and the dwarf liked him. Wearing a suit of armor, men, women and children alike.
"You can call me Tony, or you can call me Iron Man. I don't like the title Tin Man. It makes me seem like I'm acting in Alice in Wonderland." Tony corrected, and then he said: "I am still in Asgard. If you have some connections, I have met Odin and Frigga, and Thor and I are also very familiar with each other. As long as we get to Asgard, they should be happy to send us home!"
Grimm didn't care much about Tony's poor communication method. In fact, the dwarves themselves didn't like to be roundabout in their customs. They also speak straightforwardly. Instead, he was very interested in the Iron Man suit on Tony.
"Wow, you actually know the God King and Queen. To be honest, I have never seen them before in my whole life. By the way, this armor on your body..."
After speaking, Grim touched his hand. As blacksmiths and blacksmiths, dwarves have a great talent for metals and various machines. They don't even need to touch many metals with their hands, they can tell their material and workmanship just by smelling them.
"The craftsmanship is okay, but the materials are a bit inferior."
"What? This is vibranium technology! The best material on earth!" Tony naturally didn't like others talking about his mecha like that.
"Vibranium?" Grimm obviously knew about this metal: "Oh my God, you actually used other low-grade metals to smelt it together with vibranium? This is simply a waste of resources! That's vibranium!"
Vibranium is not absent in the universe. After all, the earth's vibranium itself was brought to the earth by a meteorite. But just like the earth, the production of vibranium in the universe is pitiful, and Nidaville has none.
Nidaville is rich in Uru metal.
Tony was naturally unconvinced and got into a fight with Grim.
So the two started arguing.
Until Tony said that the earth has vibranium.
Grimm immediately became excited.
"You said the earth has vibranium?"
"Yes, we have a country there, and the entire country is located on the vibranium veins!"
"Wait a minute!" Grimm didn't even have time to verify whether what Tony said was true or not, he turned around and ran away.
"What's wrong with him?" Tony looked at Strange and the others.
"Their lover seems to have a hobby of collecting metals. The more he cherishes them, the more he likes them." Strange guessed.
Soon Grim came back: "Hurry up! The dwarf king Eitri wants to see you! This is an unparalleled honor! You will be on the Star Ring!"
…
Star rings are a bit like Dyson spheres.
"Dyson Sphere" is a theory proposed by American physicist Freeman Dyson in 1960. The so-called "Dyson Sphere" is actually an artificial celestial body with a diameter of 200 million kilometers, which is used to wrap around stars and exploit stellar energy.
This is a natural nuclear fusion reactor that uses stars as a power source. The Dyson Sphere is a hypothetical giant artificial structure proposed by Mr. Freeman Dyson. Such a "sphere" is made up of satellites orbiting the sun, completely surrounding the star and receiving most or all of its energy output. Dyson believes that such structures are a logical necessity for civilizations that have long existed in the universe and have rising energy needs, and he recommends searching for such artificial celestial structures in order to find alien supercivilizations.
Of course, for now, humans are unable to accomplish such a feat. There are too many problems that need to be overcome.
But the dwarves of Nidaville accomplished this feat long, long ago.
They call it a star ring.
The dwarves compressed and wrapped a sun and created a star ring outside it, completely absorbing and storing its energy.
Relying on the star ring, the dwarves can continuously produce the legendary metal-Uru.
Ulu metal is actually not a single metal, but a special alloy. This metal combines unparalleled hardness with an extraordinary affinity for magic. Let it be the best material in the universe for making magic.
It was also by relying on the star ring that the dwarves created artifacts such as Odin's Eternal Spear, Thor's Mjolnir, and the Destruction Armor. Of course, including the holy spear in Kai's hand!
So for the dwarves, the Star Ring is their holy place.
Not to mention other people, even the dwarves of Nidaville would have a hard time getting there. For now, there are only three hundred dwarves living on the star ring and the dwarf king himself. They are all the undisputed forging masters of Nidaville!
That's why Grim was so excited when the dwarf king invited three humans to board the star ring.
Of course, the most important thing is that he also got an invitation.
This is a rare honor.
"You want to trade vibranium with the earth?" Tony finally learned from Grim's excited words that the main purpose of the dwarf king inviting them was for vibranium.
"Of course! You humans don't know how to use vibranium at all. Putting that vibranium in your hands is a waste!" Grimm didn't think there was anything wrong with the Dwarf King inviting humans to the Star Ring because of vibranium.
You know, that's vibranium!
One of the hardest metals in the universe.
Tony curled his lips. Although he admitted that these dwarf mules had extraordinary technical levels in metal forging and synthesis, he did not want to admit that vibranium was a waste in human hands.
In the final analysis, Wakanda has secretly hidden vibranium for too many years, leading to the fact that humans did not even know that this kind of treasure existed on the earth for thousands of years before. Although Wakanda's hiding of vibranium prevents humans from over-exploiting this precious metal, it also limits humans' research on this type of metal.
But now that Wakanda has been opened up, vibranium has begun to be formed and is known to scientists from various countries, and research has begun.
Tony simply doesn't believe that Earthlings are any worse than other aliens.
Just give them time and they will definitely catch up.
Of course, he was still very interested in the trade the dwarf king mentioned.
Soon Tony and his team arrived at the ring in a dwarf's spaceship.
The star ring is hidden in a nebula.
This nebula is actually a huge cloud-like star composed of tiny cosmic particles. The nebula reflects all kinds of visible light and rays, making the entire nebula look unpredictable and beautiful. The star ring is in the center of this nebula. The star ring is not big. It looks like a giant armillary sphere formed by some circular orbits nested inside each other. In the center of the armillary sphere is a huge metal ball.
Around the metal ball is a circular metal platform.
There are tall palaces above.
