Chapter 3421 Midnight Son (Twenty)
Several people came to the space station. It was Schiller's first time to come to the repaired space station. It looked the same as before, without any changes.
However, the number of people working here has obviously increased, and uniformed staff can be seen everywhere. In addition, there are also many aliens who are obviously not staff, and some people who work in other parts of the solar system.
After entering the door, they went through security check. The staff were not surprised by their strange attire, so they started the machine to scan them, and then checked the weapons in their hands - mainly the long stick in Schiller's hand, and then let them pass.
After entering the space station, Stark was also a little confused. There were eight passages in the hall, and he didn't know where to go to take the bus, so he could only randomly pull a staff member to ask.
"Which station are you going to?" said the male employee holding a vacuum cleaner. "Today there is a ship to Neptune and a ship to Mercury. The ship to Neptune will leave soon."
"We're going to Jupiter..."
"Then you're taking the Neptune ship. Go over there, hurry up, the ship will leave in about 10 minutes..."
Stark quickly ran in the direction he pointed, followed by Schiller and Peter. After running in the corridor for a while, they entered a new hall. The staff here all had work badges around their necks.
"Are you here to catch the boat? Follow me! This way!" A staff member ran over, led them in one direction and said, "The portal will close in 5 minutes, come quickly!"
They ran into another passage, then turned a corner and saw a portal in a room with the name "Neptune" written on it. They hurriedly entered the portal and appeared in a closed platform floating in space.
Looking out the window, this place is neither in a space station nor far away from the earth. It should be a platform specially built for docking frigates.
Schiller remembered that the Kree frigates were equipped with advanced gravity elimination systems, which generally would not affect the surrounding celestial bodies. However, even the most advanced space station of mankind was too small and too backward compared to the technology of the Kree Empire, and would fall apart with a slight touch. Placing the platform farther away was probably also for safety.
The spacecraft began to slow down from a long distance away, and it took about five minutes from appearance to arrival. The sound of the station announcement was a little familiar.
"Hello, the next stop is the Earth Space Station. Please take your belongings and get off from the back door. Thank you."
The first broadcast was in Chinese, followed by another in English, Latin, and Old Norse, the official language of Asgard.
The hatch opened, and the station suspended in the air flew directly towards the entrance under the frigate.
Schiller thought that he and his group were the last to arrive, but he didn't expect that there were still experts. The moment the portal closed, a silver light flashed, and a figure carrying a large bag and a small roll appeared in the station.
"Phew...luckily I made it in time."
"Pietro?" Stark looked back at the man in surprise and said, "Why are you here too?"
"Oh, my goodness, I should be asking you this question. Where are you going?"
"We're going to Jupiter. What about you?"
"Neptune Star Port. I have to go there to deliver something." Pietro picked up the things in his hand and said, "Chinese people want to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, but they can't make moon cakes there. For some special sense of ritual, I have to go and deliver moon cakes to them."
"Is this a way to maintain the mental health of employees?" Stark shook his head in confusion and said, "Do we have to eat this mooncake?"
"I don't know about that. This is my job." Pietro let out a sigh, "Luckily I made it in time, otherwise I would have missed it."
By this time the station door had been opened and they all walked in. Pietro pointed them in a direction and said, "The cabin for getting off the train is over there. I'm going to the terminal cabin, so I'll leave first. Bye."
Stark turned around and looked in the direction he pointed, and found that many people came out from that side, probably arriving at their destination and getting off the boat.
On the way to the cabin, Schiller looked at the interior structure of the spacecraft. He had only been up there once, when he got these spacecraft, but it was completely different then.
Now the Kree frigate can no longer be seen as a product of non-human civilization. This thing looks like a large cruise ship, and the decoration and cabin structure are similar.
When they reached the cabin door, Stark and his companions showed their IDs and were about to go inside after verification, but were stopped by the staff.
"I'm sorry, sir. The mechas you brought have exceeded the cabin's volume limit and need to be sent to the cargo hold. Do you want to send them there yourself, or do you want us to move them there for you?"
"Why is this so troublesome?" Stark couldn't help but complain. He said, "They're not much bigger than humans. Why don't we just let them sit in the cabin?"
Before he could say anything, two children ran out of the cabin and screamed at Stark.
"Iron Man! It's Iron Man! Oh my god, we actually saw Iron Man on the spaceship! Give us an autograph!"
Stark was also surprised. He asked, "How can there be children on the spacecraft? Isn't it forbidden to bring family members with you when you work in space?"
A couple also ran over. When Stark saw them, he knew they were Asgardians.
Human minors are indeed not allowed to participate in space work, even mutants are not allowed. But Asgard has no such restrictions. Although Asgard is still not open to tourism from Earth, there are still many Asgardians working in the atrium. They can bring their families.
"Do you know me?" Stark asked.
"Of course! You're the most famous Earthling! I even saw your mecha in the museum in Asgard! Sign it for us!"
It was obvious that these two kids grew up on Earth and were deeply influenced by Earth culture. They clamored for Stark's autograph and wanted to touch Stark's mecha.
If it were a normal human child, he would just touch it, but these two kids were from the God Clan. Stark really didn't dare let them touch the mecha. Although his mecha's body was strong, it couldn't handle the power of God. The two kids probably pinched the mecha's arms like pinching cookies.
"I'm sorry." The mother who came over quickly pulled the child back and said, "Is this Mr. Stark? We are diplomats from the Atrium Embassy. This is my son and nephew."
The two children's admiring eyes satisfied Stark's vanity. He asked the staff for paper and pen, signed their names, and gave them a small drone with the Iron Man logo printed on it. The two children cheered and ran back.
Stark went to deliver the mecha to the cargo hold, and Schiller and Peter entered the cabin together.
"Doctor, I wanted to ask you just now, why are you dressed like this?"
"Keep your voice down and refer to your job title when you're working. Call me Moonlight Knight."
Schiller never thought that he could hide it from Peter. After all, Peter was present when the Heroes Act was registered. He knew the true identity of Moonlight Knight.
Even if he didn't know, as the superhero who had spent the longest time with Schiller, Peter would definitely be able to hear it as soon as Schiller opened his mouth.
But that's why people like Peter. Even if people heard it, they didn't make a fuss and expose it on the spot, but waited until they were alone before saying it.
Schiller briefly explained the plan to him. Peter nodded and said, "So after you've fooled most superheroes into not being superheroes, you're going to become a superhero yourself?"
Schiller suddenly felt that Peter was not so likable after all.
Stark came back soon and walked into the cabin and sat down. The cabin was quite spacious, but it looked familiar.
On the side near the porthole, there was a one-on-one single table, and next to it was an aisle. On the other side of the aisle were berths. However, the other side of the berths was not a wall. After passing through, there were two rows of two-on-two double tables, and then another row of berths. They kept pushing forward in intervals, and Schiller couldn't see how many layers there were.
Because they were getting off the train midway, they chose to sit at a two-to-two table in the middle. There was really nothing to see during the space flight.
This kind of spacecraft that can fly faster than light is really overkill for cruising in the solar system. Without a jump, it doesn't fly very fast. It took more than an hour to fly from the near-Earth space station to Jupiter.
Schiller even began to think about the necessity of the Asgardian couple taking the spaceship. He had seen Thor's normal flying speed, which was almost twice as fast as this ship. If they had flown by themselves, they would have arrived long ago. They probably brought their children with them to avoid flying around.
When getting off the ship, Stark had to go to the cargo hold to pick up his luggage. Schiller and Peter got off the ship first and boarded the small spaceship of the Callisto outpost.
However, the riding experience of this small spaceship was not very good. It was not only very crowded, but also very bumpy. The three of them couldn't stand it halfway through the ride and flew out on their own.
Fortunately, the stop was not far from Callisto, and there was no speed limit here, so we arrived in a few minutes. The outpost was located near the Asgard crater plain. There was nothing to see, just countless circular basins and ridges. There was a thin atmosphere, so we couldn't see too far, and everything we saw was barren.
Peter stamped his feet, stepped on the soil under his feet, and said, "It's really strange to see Callisto from this perspective."
"I told you before that you should go out more often." Stark turned around and said, "Those experiments are important, but they are not as important as field trips."
"I'm not an astronomy expert," Peter said, spreading his hands. "If possible, I'd like to take a look inside a cell."
"Then go ask Dr. Pym to borrow some equipment." Stark walked to the door of the outpost and knocked, then said, "By the way, how is he doing lately?"
"He participated in the construction of a large brain wave amplifier in the Andromeda Galaxy. I don't know if he has returned." Peter shook his head and said, "When he comes back, I will have to listen to him bragging about his latest achievements for several months."
The door of the outpost opened, and the people who came out were obviously surprised, not understanding why these people didn't come here by spaceship. But when they saw Stark, they showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"We've received the news." The staff shook Stark's hand and said, "Please come in. Do you want me to show you around the outpost?"
"Of course." Peter said with some interest, "I remember there should be an outpost satellite that I helped design. Let's go take a look."
