Besides gaining a Little Groot that had absorbed Thor's essence and meeting Kang the Conqueror, Qin Xiao actually gained another thing from this unexpected trip to the Knowhere.
Regarding the power of the Infinity Stones, Qin Xiao remembered that in the Time Variance Authority, Infinity Stones were everywhere, but they were completely useless. This made Qin Xiao initially think that the Infinity Stones had lost their effect on these powers that transcended the universe and time.
Later, Qin Xiao realized he was wrong. The Infinity Stones were the physical embodiment of the rules of the universe. If they weren't in that universe, Infinity Stones would naturally lose their function.
This certainly doesn't mean the Infinity Stones are useless. At the very least, if a cosmic war were to break out in the future, and Qin Xiao were to fully control Six Infinity Stones, then he would be invincible within the material universe.
In particular, Kang the Conqueror's later revelation of his fear of the ancient Celestials indirectly illustrates the power of the rules, even though Kang the Conqueror also used technology to master many of the rules of the universe.
However, using machinery and controlling or utilizing energy are two different things.
It's like someone wielding an exceptionally powerful flamethrower; it's enough to deal with others, but how could it possibly deal with Qin Xiao, who can completely transform into flames himself?
Therefore, Qin Xiao was determined to obtain Six Infinity Stones. Although the Time Variance Authority had quite a few, Qin Xiao still decided to collect the remaining stones himself.
First, I was afraid Kang would tamper with things inside; second, I was afraid of exposing my secret, which was one of my biggest trump cards and I absolutely couldn't let Kang know.
After returning and explaining everything to everyone, Qin Xiao prepared to set off into space.
Although the Space Stone allows for free travel through space, spaceships and other means of transportation are still needed to explore the universe and make contact with as many civilizations and different species as possible.
Everyone supported Qin Xiao's idea. The key point was that Qin Xiao could travel back and forth at will. With the power of the Space Stone, there was basically no difference between Qin Xiao on the other side of the universe and on Earth.
Moreover, many of the Avengers ' heroes also want to explore the universe, and with Qin Xiao around, they can go and come back anytime.
Acting on a whim is the Avengers ' style. Thor brought in several spaceships from the Nine Realms of Asgard, intending to convert them into a brand new, comfortable space travel vessel.
Upon learning this news, Black Panther, under the guise of technological exchange, enthusiastically brought along his slightly older sister and several Wakanda scientists to join the research.
They also gave away some Vibranium materials; using Vibranium to build an entire spaceship is a bit of an exaggeration.
They used Vibranium and titanium alloys to create new alloys for the spaceship's outer shell, with most of the Vibranium being installed on the bridge.
To ensure the safety of the spaceship in the event of a severe attack, the Vibranium on the bridge will assemble into a small safe house, temporarily guaranteeing the safety of the personnel inside and preventing them from falling into the void of space, in addition to Qin Xiao's wormhole.
Its security is absolutely unparalleled in the universe.
In terms of power and communication, it uses the same equipment as the original spacecraft, only with some modifications, and the performance has not changed much.
Ultimately, whether it's Tony Stark or the scientists in Wakanda, they have theories, but none of them have actually experienced space travel, so they can't effectively improve the system.
However, due to the extensive use of Vibranium and titanium alloys, two extremely lightweight materials, the weight of the spacecraft was greatly reduced, and overall, the speed was still quite good.
As for offense, Tony installed two Gatling guns under each wing of the spaceship. Of course, they were different from those on Earth; these used energy bullets, but the Gatling principle was used to increase the rate of fire.
There are four of them in total, and they can fire 24,000 energy bullets per minute. This is a terrifying number, enough to tear apart a small near-Earth fleet of a space civilization.
As for large weapons, Tony didn't equip them; in his words...
This spaceship was originally designed for small-scale battles. When encountering large fleets or motherships the size of cities, it would be more appropriate for Qin Xiao to open a wormhole and attack from inside.
Actually, it's because of the size issue. There are too many problems involved in mounting large weapons. If you were to put a star-destroying weapon on this small spaceship, the recoil from the energy burst wouldn't be enough for this little thing.
Not to mention the issue of energy transmission.
As for the spaceship's energy, this is the simplest part. With Qin Xiao's personal space and the energy stack technology that Tony has improved countless times, the energy Qin Xiao carries is an absolutely terrifying number.
The final product was a spaceship that was 25 meters long, 5 meters wide, and nearly 5 meters high, with wings that were more than 20 meters long in total.
It looks a bit like a futuristic, super-large aircraft.
At Tony's insistence, the design was painted in Iron Man's gold and red colors, and the letter A, representing the Avengers, was printed on one side of the suit.
The operating system is Tony's latest artificial intelligence, originally named Karen —yes, the same AI that later appeared in Spider-Man- Man's suit.
Qin Xiao had no intention of taking away Spider-Man's AI nanny. To commemorate his time travel and to constantly remind himself of the differences in this world, Qin Xiao used the name of the actress who played Black Widow, Scarlett.
Natasha, annoyed, pinched Qin Xiao's waist from behind after renaming the operating system: Scarlett, a name that clearly sounds like a girl's.
Qin Xiao raised his hands high to indicate his surrender.
"I swear, that's the name of my puppy when I was a puppy. It was a very beautiful white Pomeranian, and that's its name!"
Scarlett has already entered all the star charts from the Asgard database, and the wormhole jump function ensures that as long as the coordinates are entered, she can automatically fly to any location shown on the star chart.
Tony simply spray-painted the name of the final spaceship Light, perhaps as a Illuminati to the Illuminati, which the two had secretly joined but now served no purpose.
With everything ready, on the day of departure, Tony specifically notified a large number of media outlets that the Avengers now possessed interstellar travel technology and were about to leave Earth for space. Avengers then asked, "Who will protect Earth's safety?"
Or what will the Avengers bring to Earth this time?
Various opinions are circulating; anyway, before the official takeoff even took off, the whole world already knows that the Avengers are leaving Earth.
This was something Qin Xiao had planned with everyone: to create news so that everyone would leave, making everyone think that the Avengers had all left Earth.
Let those clowns hiding in the shadows come out. Earth is our home base; it cannot be in chaos. All sorts of messy and destabilizing factors must be eliminated.
In reality, after the Avengers boarded the spaceship, Qin Xiao sent them all back to the Sky Base. Only Qin Xiao, Little Groot., and Tony Stark, who had entered space for scientific purposes, remained on the spaceship.
Finally... on television, in front of the public, for the first time, humanity truly stepped out of space and into the universe, with flame particles slowly being ejected from the tail of the Avengers ' spaceship.
The spaceship circled in the air for a moment, accelerated, and disappeared from the atmosphere in a few seconds.
