At that moment, on the new cosmic spaceship of the Kree... humans... Venom and Spider-Man started squabbling again.
"You let go, I operate the forward system, you handle the weapons system. The engine ignition must be triggered by me!" Venom opened his mouth wide, yelling at Spider-Man.
"What do you know about a cosmic spaceship? This is a matter of technology, you go to the weapons depot. I will operate the spaceship in the control room..." Spider-Man forcefully squeezed Venom to the side, Venom didn't show any weakness, and the two of them pushed each other around in front of the control panel.
"Sometimes, it's nice to be illiterate." Green Sting shrugged and said, "Anyway, I can't understand that pile of control panels."
"Don't say that, don't forget your host is a kid now, you have to educate her to learn more knowledge." The Blue Spirit interrupted Green Sting, saying to the Shadow, "You see, this is the importance of learning, if you learn these knowledges, you can also operate a cosmic spaceship."
"Really?" Shadow asked hesitantly, "But this thing looks so complicated, I guess I can't learn to control it quickly, right?"
"Shadow, come here, I'll teach you how to activate the lighting system," Spider-Man said. Although Shadow's tone was hesitant, she was nimble and quickly ran in front of the control panel.
She rubbed her hands together, with the excitement in her voice saying, "Really? Can I use it? Which button should I press? "
"No, there are no physical buttons, they use neural access. Here, put your hand on this..."
Just then, a series of electric sparks suddenly flashed on the spaceship floor, a yellow figure bounced up from the floor. The figure of the Amplifier appeared. He stretched his neck and Thunder's voice rang, "I gotta say, the energy pipes here are perfect for a walk. I've just strolled around and found the condition of this spaceship is excellent. It might not have been out of the factory for long. We made a big score."
"You'd better check again and make sure the communication device won't be restored. The leader of the Kree, Supreme Wisdom, can be pretty tricky."
"Don't worry, all the things that could transmit signals are swallowed by me. This ship is completely offline now."
"When are they planning to come up for investigation? With a teleportation door from a Mage, this distance is not too far, right? Or should we move a bit closer?"
"Please don't. I haven't figured out how to manipulate the invisibility system." Peter's voice rang out, "If some astronomer from Earth suddenly took a glance here, it would be bad. We're just about to move the car behind Pluto, let it help us block the view."
Green Sting went over, looking at the vast star space through the glass window, and at the sun in the distance. He said, "The natural conditions of the solar system are just too good. We've been through so many universes, but haven't seen such a suitable place for civilization to develop."
"The sun is of an appropriate age, very stable. Mercury is very close to the sun, which is perfect as an outpost for energy development. Earth is in the most habitable zone, bestowed by heaven. With the presence of such a stable satellite as the moon, you can conduct preliminary space experiments..."
"By the time interstellar colonization begins, Mars can come into play. And here..." He looked at Neptune not far away and said, "Dual star system at the right distance, a perfect cosmic spaceship harbor, and Star Port docks."
"I'm starting to suspect if there really is a creator who carefully crafted the solar system. Compared to the solar system, our old home seems to be in severe conditions."
The voice of Crystal came to mind, "What is the Andromeda galaxy like? Is there a sun as well?"
"The center of the Andromeda Nebula has many stars, but they are neither the right age nor in the right positions. There are almost no habitable planets around them. The only better ones are in the territories of Sulfur Dwarves, the Gemini stars."
"Gemini stars? Are they two earth-like planets?"
The voice of Green Sting sounded a bit helpless. He explained to Crystal, "If there were two Earth-like planets there, they would have been attacked and occupied by other civilizations. I've said it before, the habitability of the Earth is beyond imagination, it's literally a universal greenhouse. Even a physically weak race like yours can diligently evolve into a planetary civilization here..."
"The twin stars the Sulfur Dwarves hold, one has a surface temperature around 500 degrees, and the other often has volcanic eruptions. But their atmospheres and gravity are fine, so most of the Sulfur Dwarves population stays there."
"However, the position of those twin stars in the universe is not so favorable. They are quite far from the core of our area, and slightly close to the other core of the Andromeda Nebula, that is, the supermassive black hole."
"Although that supermassive black hole is quite stable for now, it's impossible to say whether something unexpected will occur one day. Sulfur Dwarves always want to start a war to invade our area, mostly wanting to relocate their mother star."
Saying this, the Blue Spirit sighed, "As for the Klinter Star, not to mention, its size is twenty times that of Earth. Because of its dumpiness and distance from the stars, it has slower rotation and revolution, the temperature is consistently below minus 120 degrees, there's no atmosphere, complete vacuum. Because of its poor location, it gets hit by over 2000 meteors a year..."
Crystal gasped in surprise, hesitated and said, "Wouldn't people get hit to death?"
"Thanks to our creator, for making us into a pile of mud." The Blue Spirit sarcastically said, "Liquid organisms are not afraid of meteors. Even if you get hit, some can run out. Of course, some unlucky guys will be obliterated, but that doesn't matter, anyway, we can just divide again…"
Crystal shook her head, thinking that the living environment of an alien was fraught with too many troubles.
Just then, a teleportation door opened in the space behind them. Stark was the first to appear. He examined the environment inside the spaceship from top to bottom. Spider-Man saw him, and hastily invited him over to study the control panel together.
Strange and Loki followed, with Shiller, Nick, and Charles being the last to step out.
Nick took a good look at the spaceship. Even though it was the size of a satellite, more than half of its space was occupied by the engine weapons system and warehouse, which made the main control room relatively small.
At that point, Shiller called everyone over, gave Nick a nod, and Nick pulled out a document from his pocket. He cleared his throat and began reading, "According to the draft version of the Human Interstellar Travel Act, all objects lost within the Milky Way and its surrounding 100 light years area, unclaimed after 100,000 years, automatically become the property of the only advanced human civilization in that galaxy…"
"After such declaration by the human race, any civilization's infringement on this property will be considered a declaration of war against humans. Humans have the right to counteract."
Nick put the document away and sized up the shiny new battleship.
"This battleship has been so badly damaged, it must have been abandoned for over 100,000 years, right? Now I declare ownership. Any objections? Any agreements?"
Blue Spirit stared at the clean, shiny floor of the battleship and its exceptionally bright interior lights, momentarily speechless.
"Alright, since this bill is only a draft, no objection period or public announcement time has been set. For now, I'll set it to 30 seconds... Okay, since no one objected, this is now the inherent property of humankind."
"Of course, in order to clarify the ownership history of this inherent property, we need to do some investigation. Tony, can you produce a pattern?"
Shiller turned to Stark, who, without turning his head, pressed a button on the operating system on his armguard. A small drone flew out from his Battle Armor and began spraying patterns on the ground.
The drone drew a strange pattern on the ground, which seemed like a forced combination of Earth's major tectonic plates, with characters that looked like both alphabet letters and Chinese characters. The circle enclosing the pattern vaguely held some decorations from the Mayan civilization, and the outermost thin circle retained some tribal patterns.
"Oh, there's a strange pattern here. Let me see... It very much resembles a pattern left behind by an ancient human civilization." Nick walked around the pattern a few times and spoke with conviction.
"It seems that this spaceship was abandoned by an ancient human civilization. It is only justified that we reclaim it. Alright, let's erase this pattern and spray an Earth emblem here."
"Done. The procedure is complete. Let's take a look at our newest human spaceship."
A few Symbionts along with Charles looked at the giant Earth emblem sprayed in the middle of the control room, and fell silent.
Clearly, their moral compass had not been tried and tested, making it slightly out of sync with the times. However, Nick and Shiller had already moved close to the control panel, watching Stark start to operate the systems. Shiller asked, "Is there a root directory or something?"
"There's an identification system, but it's a bit strange and not quite the same as what humans use. Let me see... Oh, here it is, the underlying protocol…"
"Perfect, let's etch the name we discussed earlier, 'Radiant 23', into the underlying protocol."
After operating it for a while, Stark said, "Done, not only the underlying protocol, I've also changed all naming programs. The battleship's identification, shield shape, and body pattern have all been changed to match Earth's."
"How are we going to deal with this spaceship?" Spider Man turned and asked them.
"I found the invisibility stand's control method, so we can dock it near Earth. This way, we can use it to transport materials from the Mercury Base."
Stark slapped the control panel and said, "We won't need the portal anymore. Look, it's another victory for technology."
"What about the energy supply? Thunder found the engine and energy pipeline, but its energy supply device seems to be a part of the larger planet's warships. It uses lateral transmission on the body plate." Spider Man asked.
"I saw that just now. Actually, that's easier to handle. The so-called body plate transmission means this battleship would have to fly into their large spaceship so that the energy field could radiate its deck for charging."
"That is to say, we just need to park this spaceship near the Sun and it can recharge itself."
"The spaceship from Asgard also uses similar technology. This ensures that non-technical personnel can easily operate this battleship during a shortage of technical staff."
"Very normal. The end-point of technological advancement is simplification and intelligence. If any normal elementary school student can operate this spaceship, then the requirement for astronaut selection can be lowered."
"Alright, let's first take this back. Then, continue preparing for the Mercury Base."
"Oh yes, since you've seen the power of Magneto, let's prepare to show the Kree the true radiance."
