Chapter 2614 Mayfly World (XIV)
There are still many persecuted mutants in this world, especially those Ipsilon-class mutants who have basically no beneficial abilities. They can even be called disabled.
Unfortunately, not every country issues disability certificates to Ipsilon-class mutants who do have defects like China does, and not every Ipsilon-class mutant is willing to accept people saying that he is disabled. Most of them are just holding on, and the vast majority of those who can't are wandering.
The situation of these people was already extremely bad, and when they heard that there was a place on an alien planet that was a utopia and refuge for mutants, their hope was immediately rekindled.
Long-term discrimination and persecution have made them hate everything on Earth. They believe that they have fallen into their current situation because of discrimination by ordinary people. As long as they can go to a place full of mutants, they will definitely be able to get a new life.
With this idea in mind, they boarded the immigration spaceship, but unfortunately what they waited for was not a lush and green utopia like a paradise, but a land of ruins.
After construction, the Sky Island that Magneto first took over has begun to take on some shape, but the Sky Island is too small. It was originally just a down payment, not a planet for production and construction. After it was repaired, it could only be left there for viewing, and no large-scale projects could be carried out.
Now the mutants are mainly carrying out production and construction on two nearby planets and a dwarf planet. The natural conditions in the Andromeda Galaxy are pretty good. Although the previous star exploded, Magneto dragged another one over and moved the planet to a position similar to that of the Earth. After careful repair and cultivation, these three planets can basically support human survival without life support devices.
The only problem is that this place is too desolate. One of the primitive planets still has some plants, but they are also the most primitive algae. The remaining two are just big dirt balls. Another one has no room in the Earth-like orbit, so it is placed a little further away. The temperature is around minus 20 degrees Celsius all year round. It is either impossible to survive or it is just very cold.
Fortunately, both planets are large enough. Although primitive, the various landform conditions are not much different from those of ancient Earth, and human-like civilizations can be developed. The number of mutants themselves is not particularly large, so these three planets can be said to be more than enough.
When there were fewer people before, some supplies were also needed to keep the team running, but Magneto's way of obtaining supplies can not be said to be diligent and down-to-earth, nor can it be said that he is a strong contender for the Star Pirate King.
To sum it up in one word: grab.
The Andromeda Galaxy is not particularly prosperous, but it does have prosperous star regions. Countless cargo ships come and go, many of which carry resources that can be used by carbon-based organisms.
The mutants can't just rob because Magneto and Nick have an agreement. They are the vanguards of mankind and naturally cannot destroy the reputation of human civilization. But the good thing is that Magneto is a natural son of the universe, and he has plenty of ways to turn robbery into an accident.
It's possible that the spacecraft was not well maintained and some metal parts had problems, leading to the destruction of the ship and death. It's possible that the black hole suddenly changed a little, and the properties of its gravity became a little larger, causing the hull to crash uncontrollably. It's even possible that a planet disintegrated and exploded, just hitting another one, and then seven or eight planets hit the cargo ship one by one like playing billiards.
The universe is vast and boundless. For most civilizations, it is an eternal and unsolvable mystery. Even the three most advanced empires dare not say that they have completely cracked the mysteries of the universe, so it is very normal for various spacecraft crashes.
For a long time, Magneto used this method to contribute to the construction of the Andromeda Galaxy, and occasionally cooperated with Asgard to help Asgard eliminate some economic and social troubles, and thus receive some rewards.
Unfortunately, the aliens are not stupid. If traffic accidents happen on a road all year round, wouldn’t they put a warning mark on the map?
Human network technology has only been around for a few years, but it has been able to connect thousands of households. Most advanced civilizations in the universe have mastered the use of the Internet. Many people have their brains connected to the interstellar network and can check all kinds of information at any time.
The cargo ship even has a very complete interstellar map system. As long as an accident has occurred somewhere, they have a way to bypass it. The worst that can happen is to jump through a few more portals. If they don't mind the trouble, they can also jump to other dimensions, calculate the coordinates, and then jump back.
As time went on, Magneto found it difficult to take action. After all, faking an accident required the right time, right place and right people. He couldn't just force it. Many of the best locations he had chosen before were blacklisted, and he almost failed in the other few places he tried reluctantly. He didn't get much after all his effort.
At this time, Magneto and Professor X suddenly realized that this is not how infrastructure construction is done.
But it is not surprising. A Jew and an Ansa, if you count their ancestors for 18 generations, you can't find a single person who knows how to farm. Their understanding of the basic way of civilization development is just one word: rob. It would be strange if they could react.
When the first group of mutants migrated there, they realized that it was impossible to rely on one group of people to rob to feed another group of people. If they continued like this, they would be doomed sooner or later, and they still had to rely on growing food themselves.
As a result, most of the mutants who were talented in farming had already gone to live in China, and they couldn't find many, so they had to use traditional farming methods.
But the fact is that the difficulty and energy required to transform wild lands are ridiculously great. Even if the lands on those planets are transformed for another ten years, the production will not be enough.
But the tough words about the mutant utopia have already been spoken, the publicity has been released, and countless mutants are looking forward to it. If we tell them now that it will take at least 20 years before they can have enough food, this will be a complete failure.
What's more, those Ipsilon-class people don't want to work at all. What they dream of is a good life where they can just lie down and do nothing every day. They don't come here to be your laborers. Even if Magneto can get them modern equipment, they are unwilling to do any infrastructure construction in the wind and snow.
After thinking for a long time, Magneto and Professor X finally decided to go back to Earth, at least to get some food there first, and then take it slowly.
The news that the mutants wanted to buy food quickly spread to all countries, but the mutants themselves didn't have much money, so they pushed the price too low, and almost no country was willing to sell to them.
Then they thought of another solution, which was to rent land for planting and all the harvested crops would be theirs.
Originally, they were optimistic about Africa, because there were indeed many large plots of good land there, and it was far away from the prosperous human society, so they didn't have to listen to the nagging of politicians.
But Africa is not enterprising and does not want to change the structure of the small peasant economy at all. Farmers still rely on their one-third acre of land for their livelihood and it is impossible for them to rent it to mutants. Wakanda also does not allow mutants to enter their territory at all. This is regarded as a serious provocation by Black Panther.
Professor X was unwilling to offend Wakanda, and after much deliberation they finally found a good place, which was Mexico.
The United States is determined to transform Mexico and turn it into its backyard. The newly laid out industrial chain has provided countless jobs, and many farmers have abandoned their land and started working in the city.
Most of the people who stayed in their hometown were elderly people who were neither able nor willing to cultivate such a large piece of land. As a result, a lot of land was left abandoned, and the mutants came at the right time.
Unfortunately, the Mexican government is not very welcoming to them. Mutants have always had a bad reputation, and the ones coming are the notorious Brotherhood. Who knows if these people will explode while growing mutants?
Magneto is worried about this matter now. Logically, this kind of logistics work on Earth should be handed over to Professor X. He has a good reputation and it is easier for him to negotiate with the government, but unfortunately he is an American.
Professor X can indeed deal with the Mexican government, but he can't deal with the Mexicans. The hatred of the lower-class Mexican people towards Americans is even greater than that towards mutants, and they have the same attitude towards the students of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.
On the contrary, they have some favorable impression of Magneto, who carried out terrorist attacks in the United States. They think that Magneto is a fellow wanderer like them, so Magneto has to do this matter.
It's not that Magneto is completely incapable of negotiation, but he really can't stand playing catch-up with those politicians. The previous three negotiations all ended in failure. If they wait any longer, they will miss the first harvest season.
So when Magneto saw Schiller, he felt like he saw a savior. He was even willing to stop having a stern face. Considering his original style of doing things, this could be considered a pleasant expression.
Schiller did not agree immediately. Although he felt that it was not a bad thing to lend a helping hand to the mutants at this time, he did not think that Magneto could really do it.
"The reason is naturally very simple." Schiller asked, "Eric, I completely understand what you said..."
Magneto looked at him with expectant eyes.
"I just have one question now."
"You ask."
"Can you farm?"
What a good question, Magneto was immediately stumped. After thinking for a while, he said, "Why not just dig up the soil, bury the seeds, water them and wait for them to grow?"
"If it was Peter who said that, I would think he played too many video games." Schiller shook his head helplessly and said, "It's not that simple. Do you understand the soil conditions in Mexico? Do you understand the rain and heat conditions in Guadalajara? Do you know what the good breeds are that the people here refer to as?"
"How big a piece of land do you plan to use? How many modern agricultural machines do you want to use? How many farmers do you want to hire? Do you want to process agricultural products or raise livestock? How much natural risk can you withstand? What types of crops do you need? What are their priorities?"
Magneto was overwhelmed by what he heard. He said, "Can't I hire a professional agricultural manager?"
"Of course, but you still need to make judgments on many things. It is you who is going to open up the Andromeda Galaxy, not him. How can he know anything about interstellar reclamation?"
Schiller spread his hands and said, "You can't always rely on food from Earth. You have to grow crops on your own planet. So why not take this opportunity to cultivate seeds that can grow smoothly on other planets and have sufficient yields? This is not something that an agricultural manager can solve. You may need an entire scientific research team."
"Is there really such a team in the world?" Magneto was rarely confused. He said, "This is ridiculous. Is there really someone who specializes in studying how to grow crops on alien planets?"
"Don't tell me, it's true."
