American comics: Starting with gaining Spider-Man's abilities

Chapter 163 Marvel's Interstellar Technology

Boarding the spaceship from the Marvel Universe, Li Buying took the opportunity to use his gravity perception to see how advanced the interstellar technology was in this universe. Unfortunately, Ai Yi was still in his storage space, and he didn't want to release her in front of Ganata for the time being.

"Would you mind if I looked into the spaceship's technology?"

"No problem, feel free to look around."

Ganata replied lazily, and Li Buying's gravity perception instantly expanded to envelop the entire spaceship, with the main target being the warp drive inside the spaceship, which was the place where the spaceship's navigation technology could be seen the fastest.

After a quick scan, he immediately used his rudimentary scientific knowledge, crammed on by Ai Yi, to judge that the warp drive of the Marvel Universe, at least the one on the Galactus spaceship, was far superior to the best engines he had ever seen in the hybrid star system.

"Ganata, what level does your spaceship fall into in the universe?"

"What, are you worried about the state of Earth?"

Ganata misjudged Li Buying's thoughts, and he went along with it, acknowledging the statement: "You can think of it that way. After all, you know, the world is still a mess of countries, not even a cohesive whole."

"Heh, don't worry too much. This spaceship is considered above average in the universe. The Chitauri army that attacked Earth only had a few hundred of these ships. You know, the entire universe is still too vast for weak people."

The purple-haired alien girl ate the alien food that Li Buying found strange, while explaining the current situation:

"Long-distance interstellar travel is very difficult to accomplish. Even a powerful alien force like the Chitauri needs to use the portal opened by the Cosmic Cube to truly travel from tens of thousands of light-years or even more distant places."

"The time and energy consumed along the way are countless, which is why it is difficult for interstellar forces to expand. Only small spaceships can exchange resources."

"That's why those who can use magic to travel through space at a cosmic level are extremely valuable, but it's also very difficult for them to take an entire spaceship with them, and those with such ability wouldn't do that."

"They could become figures like Odin through their own strength alone."

Listening to her one-sided words, Li Buying nodded repeatedly. Just like the reason why Thanos didn't come to Earth, he might be able to easily destroy planets, but as long as he couldn't get the Space Stone and there was no one around him who could perform cosmic-level space travel, he could only slowly head towards the place where the stone was.

Based on the knowledge provided by Galactus, it is clear that Ebony Maw probably cannot do this, not even to send Thanos alone to Xandar. At least Xandar, with the Power Stone, is still intact, and Thanos did not arrive immediately.

He subconsciously clenched his fist, realizing his own importance. The Reality Stone, Mind Stone, and Space Stone were all on him, while Thanos could only obtain the Power Stone and the Soul Stone.

Do not……

Recalling his memories, he discovered that Thanos led a large army to Xandar to seize the Power Stone first, and then, according to the timeline, it took him at least a year to find the Asgardians' ship that had experienced Ragnarok.

As long as Asgard is not destroyed, the Rainbow Bridge is not exploited, and Thanos cannot find someone who can enable him to perform cosmic-level spatial teleportation, Li Buying will have plenty of time to prepare.

However, we still can't rely on external factors.

Li Buying thought a lot and was still very worried. There were X-Men in this universe, and Galactus, born from the corpse of Galactus. Maybe Thanos would find the thing that teleported him here next month and then kill his way to Earth all by himself.

"You still have to rely on yourself."

He was talking to himself unconsciously. Ganata noticed that Li Buying was preoccupied and raised her eyebrows to ask, "Hey, there aren't many people on Earth who can kill you head-on right now, so why do you still look so worried?"

Ganata naturally felt that this powerful Earthling was unlike herself. Her predecessor had a powerful enemy of unknown identity, which was why she was so cautious. Li Buying, as an Earthling who had never been to the universe, could always sense his urgency for power.

Why are you in such a hurry? Ganata was very curious about this.

"Because an interstellar terrorist wants to randomly wipe out half of all life in the universe."

Li Buying said it casually, never expecting that Ganata would believe it. Her reaction confirmed this; the purple-haired girl showed a surprised and amused expression: "How is that possible? Half of all life in the universe? Does that mean even gods will suffer?"

"As long as the gods happen to be in this universe."

Ganata did not express belief, assuming that Li Buying was troubled by nightmares. At this time, the spaceship had already flown out of Xandar's gravitational range and could officially begin the jump.

Seeing this, Li Buying stopped talking to the girl and closed his eyes to feel the way the Marvel spaceship jumped. As the jump started, he immediately felt his senses being stretched and his original location was instantly far away.

This is one of the ways the Marvel Universe uses teleportation.

He opened his eyes and looked out the window. Everything around him was stretched out. What he actually perceived was the spaceship itself constantly jumping between one spatial node after another.

"How many ways are there to jump in the universe, the non-magical kind?"

He asked a question, but before Ganata could speak, the spaceship's artificial intelligence replied: "The current mainstream jump methods include spatial point jump, light speed jump, and warp speed jump."

Leaving aside the magical teleportation of the Rainbow Bridge, which is of unknown origin—whether it comes from a different dimension or a different planet—there are at least several ways to teleport in the Marvel Universe, which correspond to what artificial intelligence is all about.

Space jumps are the technique used by Yondu, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 when they traveled to Ego Planet. They used their spaceship engines to accelerate and pass through numerous space jump points to achieve a long-distance journey.

Light-speed jumps are slightly less efficient. In Captain Marvel, Wendy Lawson, the Kree Mar-Vell in disguise, developed a light-speed jump engine using the vibrations of the Space Stone.

The most powerful type is warp jump, which seems to require a certain level of technology in the spaceship to use. The spaceship that the human body created by the living planet Ego travels in is of this type, and it seems to be related to spacetime and antimatter.

I don't know if I'll be able to achieve warp drive in my lifetime.

Li Buying observes spatial point jumps that are similar to but much stronger than those in the mixed universe, and uses this to gradually improve his special force field, which might come in handy someday.

After approximately two to three hundred space jumps, the spaceship slowly came to a stop in an empty part of space and issued a warning:

"Warning, warning! 325 consecutive spatial jumps are already the maximum number of jumps a normal carbon-based organism can make while maintaining good health. Do you wish to continue?"

"Can you still hold on, Mr. Earthling?"

Ganata turned to look at Li Buying, who had his eyes closed but opened them slightly: "It was talking about normal carbon-based life forms, but unfortunately I am not."

"Continue the jump, aiming to reach the location of the signal directly."

Upon receiving the order, the spaceship immediately took off again.

……

After 852 space jumps, their spaceship finally arrived on a lush planet. Gazing at this beautiful planet, Ganata subconsciously stuck out her tongue and licked her lips.

For some reason, she always felt that this planet looked delicious.

"Number 25, what kind of planet is this?"

Suppressing her appetite, Ganata intended to pilot her spaceship closer to the planet, while also inquiring about its name. The artificial intelligence responded in a mechanical voice: "Planet Ego, owner - Ego, highly intelligent life is scarce, danger level is relatively high, air composition..."

"Alright, prepare to notify the higher-ups that we are preparing to land."

She didn't want to listen to a long explanation and was preparing to leave immediately with the people who needed rescue, but Li Buying raised her hand to stop her: "Ganata, you can wait on the ship. If you're worried about your appetite getting stronger, go somewhere further away."

The purple-haired girl gave him a strange look: "What do you want to do?"

"I'm going to try to completely destroy this planet."

Li Buying's tone sounded quite ordinary. Ganata raised her eyebrows but didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she put her bottom back on the sofa and waved her hand slightly: "Since that's the case, then you can go."

It's just destroying one planet. Ganata also wants to see if Li Buying is just talking big or if he really can destroy an entire planet.

Just as he finished putting on his spacesuit and was about to exit, the spacecraft Smart25 detected a signal again: "Distance signal detected. Do you wish to accept the call?"

"Connected."

A green face immediately appeared on the screen, next to a small blue man with mechanical modifications on his face. Li Buying immediately realized that the two of them were Gamora and Nebula.

"Are you reinforcements sent by Xandar!?"

As soon as the call connected, Gamora seemed very anxious. Ganata nodded and said, "Yes, I am Energy Eater. This is my companion. What exactly happened to you?"

Gamora immediately revealed that Ego was a living planet and was preparing to devour all the planets it had visited. Ganata suddenly realized that it was Ego, the living planet, that explained why she had sensed a god's presence here more than thirty years ago.

"...That's the situation, please help us quickly!"

"I'm coming right now."

Li Buying nodded slightly in response, and a system notification came to her ears.
