Chapter 26, Pepper’s Big Adventure (Part 1)
All in all, even though Pepper Pepper accidentally touched the switch and was launched into the sky. Boz panicked, lost control, and was at a loss for a while, but after experiencing another series of accidents, she finally figured out some of the operating methods of the [Space Lifeboat] and connected to ground communications.
——After all, the [Space Lifeboat], which is a prop of Doraemon, is designed to be a fool-proof type that can be used by elementary school students, so it is not difficult to master it.
At this time, the [Space Lifeboat] she was riding in was almost flying to the moon.
Then, under the guidance of Wang Qiu and others while flipping through the manual, Pepper. Poz began to fumble to maneuver the [Space Lifeboat] back to Earth. And during the entire return flight, there were still various mistakes and dangers one after another. I passed by the International Space Station and at least half a dozen satellites from various countries. I was almost hit by a meteorite, and performed in public. Various animal transformations...Thank God, there was no danger in the end.
At this time, Pepper Pepper is away. There is only the last step left for Boz to return home safely.
"...Okay, okay, now that we have entered low-Earth orbit, you just need to press the green button again, and the [Space Lifeboat] will automatically enter the landing procedure. Of course, you need to be aligned during the entire landing process. The destination, which is California where we are..."
While holding the microphone, Wang Qiu stared at the screen and Pepper, who appeared in front of everyone in the form of a female monkey on the other side of the screen. Miss Potts - She ate too many [Transformed Animal Crackers] before, and her transformation has not been completed yet.
What's even worse is that in addition to [Transformed Animal Crackers], she also drank a lot of [Adventure Tea], and the effects obviously haven't worn off yet.
"...Jiji! I understand! I will do as you say...eh? Why at this time...jiji——"
The next moment, Pepper Pepper is across the screen. Poz gradually changed from a monkey back to human form, but then turned into a dolphin again!
At this moment, the people on both sides of the communicator were paralyzed - turned into dolphins. They couldn't even speak. How could they operate the spacecraft without their arms and legs?
However, at this time, the [Space Lifeboat] had already started the landing procedure to enter the atmosphere and could no longer stop.
"...What is Pepper's condition now? Can she return to Earth safely in her current state?"
Watch across the screen as the "dolphin girl" tumbles and flops on the floor, Tony the Iron Man. Stark couldn't help but ask with an anxious look on his face.
"...Well, please don't worry. Our spaceship is a fully automatic civilian version. Its original design is to allow children to fly it and travel around the universe, so it is absolutely not a problem to land safely on the surface. But...Miss Potts just now We haven’t had time to set the landing location yet, so although we can enter the atmosphere safely, we can’t confirm in advance where we will land on the surface.”
The still version of Wang Qiu shrugged, "...Perhaps... you can ask your SHIELD to find a way to track and monitor the trajectory of the spacecraft?"
Therefore, under everyone's expectations, Black Widow Natasha had to meet Nick, Director of SHIELD again. Fury made contact, and then after some troubleshooting, he found NASA's astronomical observatory, and captured the landing trajectory of the "Space Lifeboat" through radar and telescopes.
According to what SHIELD conveyed, the [Space Lifeboat] is about to arrive on the surface, and the landing location is...London, England?
In this regard, the indigenous people of the Marvel world do not have many special reactions. The visitors from the other world, who knew the plot well, couldn't help exchanging glances, then biting each other's ears and whispering.
"... London, England? Is this location... going to... enter the plot of "Thor: The Dark World"?"
"...Well, judging from the efficacy of [Adventure Tea], it might really be like this!"
"...So, can we get any benefits from "Thor 2"?"
"...Well, there seems to be nothing in the plot that can make people's eyes brighten. It's either impossible to use or too hot..."
"...But no matter what, we have to go to London first." Wang Qiu announced, clapping his hands, then turned to the unconscious Iron Man and shouted, "...Mr. Stark, your armor What’s the maximum battery life? Are you interested in taking a quick trip? ”
A moment later, over the United States, five figures appeared flying eastward at full speed... and then they would cross the Atlantic...

Meanwhile, England, outside London
Regarding the climate environment of the island of Great Britain, high school geography textbooks have the following concise description: temperate maritime climate, with mild winters, cool summers, and evenly distributed precipitation seasons, mainly distributed on the west coast of the continent between 40° and 60° north and south latitudes.
But only by being there, can you feel the gloominess of the continuous rain and fog and the ferociousness of the haze and humidity.
Especially after entering winter, the sky in England is almost always dark, as if it is covered by a washed-out coat. The high latitude of the UK makes the days very short, and the already scarce sunlight becomes even stingier, making you unable to see your own shadow when walking outside. The wind is cold, the rain is continuous, and there are rare sunny days, but they are fleeting, and the light clouds pile up in layers in an instant, turning into a black cloud overwhelming the city. Although it doesn’t seem too cold just in terms of temperature, there is absolutely no one who can like the British winter.
In winter when there is continuous heavy rain, biting cold wind, damp and cold weather, most people would rather stay at home and have a fireplace. But female scientist Jane. Foster drove out of the apartment in this bad weather, taking her intern Daisy with her because of a piece of strange news she had just received that was difficult to tell whether it was true or false. Louise, along with fellow intern Ian, travel to an abandoned factory overgrown with grass outside London.
——Although Daisy, who collected this information, said her discovery was very incredible, Jane. Miss Foster, however, remained very calm, showing no feeling of surprise or shock at all. In other words, ever since an alien man belonging to the Asa clan fell from the sky, fell in front of her, and had an encounter and relationship with her, nothing in this world could shock her.
That's right, except for female scientists, Jane. Miss Foster's other identity is Thor's Earth girlfriend.
For her, it was a complex memory that was worthy of nostalgia and recollection, but also made people feel infinitely melancholy and bitter.
Alas, the man who called himself Thor, the God of Thunder, once said when he parted with her that he would come back to meet her as soon as possible, but now several years have passed and there has been no news from him. Oh, no, it’s not that there’s no news at all. The battle in Manhattan, New York, which caused a lot of noise some time ago, Jane. Miss Foster discovered him coming to Earth again from the TV. But then, the man who called himself Thor did not come to find her, as if he had completely forgotten her former girlfriend.
Sometimes, Jane. Foster was wondering whether that incredible encounter had really come into her life?
With Thor's boyfriend gone forever, Jane. For the past two years, Foster's mental state has always been in a trance all day long. Sometimes even if Daisy talks to her, she will subconsciously ignore it as if she hasn't heard it until the other person breaks her out of the trance. wake.
As for the work situation, it is even worse. In the past, she was always so focused and serious about her work, with quite the demeanor of a strong woman, but in the days after bidding farewell to Thor, no matter how she adjusted, her condition was terribly bad, and she repeatedly committed things she should never have done. Low level error.
Especially after the Battle of Manhattan, New York, her dazed state showed signs of further deterioration - before, she was speculating and wondering why Thor didn't come back to find her, but now she was feeling hysterical loss and confusion. Complaints, and vague fears: Why did Thor still refuse to see her even though he had returned to the world? !
All kinds of negative thoughts and terrifying speculations almost made Jane feel uncomfortable. Foster went crazy as these confusing and useless things filled her brain. Her thinking field was completely occupied, and there was no room for anything else.
So, shortly after the Battle of Manhattan, Jane. Foster simply took a long vacation, temporarily abandoned his job, and came to London, England with his intern and friend Daisy for a change of scenery. Also, Jane. Foster also wanted to try to see if he could start a new relationship in a foreign country like the heroines in some romance novels, so that his condition could return to normal.
Although the idea is good, Jane. Foster himself couldn't do it. Even though the British man she was dating was in good condition in all aspects, Jane. Foster also forced herself to agree to every invitation from the other party, such as eating, watching movies, and shopping. However, during every date, she would still fall into a trance and get distracted from time to time, thinking of the honest and burly man. Big blond alien.
However, Daisy made rapid progress. In the blink of an eye, she found a handsome young man named Ian in the name of recruiting interns...
To be honest, Jane today. Miss Foster, even she herself could not tell what was in her mind. But at least she understands her unwillingness. Even if Thor was cheating on her, playing with her, and preparing to dump her, she still wanted to hear an explanation from him face to face.
Looking at Jane. Foster's situation is getting worse and worse, and the worried Daisy is ready to find some interesting work to divert her attention, so that she will not have nothing to do all day long, only to have random thoughts, and finally destroy her body... ...Fortunately, she soon discovered a strange thing that had recently appeared in an abandoned factory near London, so she took Jane with great interest. Foster was dragged over.
After driving here and conducting on-site testing with instruments in the car, Jane became curious and interested in this matter.
——The gravity field in this place has undergone incredible changes! This is almost something that shouldn’t happen on Earth!
Then, the informants who provided information to Daisy - three British children who often played in this abandoned factory, showed more incredible wonders to three adults from the United States: a black child just used With two fingers, he easily lifted a large truck and made it float in the air as if it were weightless! But this is clearly still the surface, not the International Space Station!
Another little girl led them up a spiral staircase that went in a circle from the ground floor to the top of the building, with a patio in the middle. Then, halfway through, the little girl stopped, and another child climbed to a higher level, holding a bottle in his hand.
Looking at the little girl who stopped holding the railing, Jane couldn't help but frown and asked: "...Is there anything strange here?"
"...Here." The little girl did not answer directly, but pointed upward. At the same time, the little boy upstairs threw the bottle in his hand directly into the patio below, but just before it hit the ground, the bottle suddenly disappeared!
Looking at the bottle that suddenly disappeared in mid-air below, Jane was stunned and asked in surprise: "...where did the bottle go?"
"...Watch the top of your head! It will be out soon..." the black child replied.
The next moment, the bottle that disappeared below suddenly reappeared above everyone's heads! Then it fell down again, until it disappeared at a certain location, and then appeared again above the head... After repeating this process several times, the black child reached out to catch the bottle with a proud look on his face.
"...This is really...unbelievable! It's like two space doors connected to each other?! Oh! I have to set up all the instruments quickly!"
Faced with such a shocking discovery, Jane, who was originally depressed, suddenly became excited and excited. Daisy also had a satisfied smile on her face and shouted excitedly, "...Come on, come on, give me your bottle? Let's throw things and play together!"
However, Daisy's luck was obviously not very good. After the bottle she threw disappeared in the air below the patio, it never reappeared.
"...It depends on luck. Sometimes it comes back, but sometimes it doesn't." The little girl explained.
"...Tsk, tsk, it seems I have to find something else to throw in... preferably something bigger..."
Daisy smacked her lips and started to look around, but then she suddenly let out a scream, "...Oh - no - this is too big, isn't it?"
Hearing Daisy's scream, Jane was staring at the measuring instrument with all her attention. Foster turned around and raised his head, and then he was also stunned.
God! What did she see? !
She saw a certain spaceship falling from the sky like a bolide and accurately crashing into the courtyard of this abandoned factory with abnormal space!
To make matters worse, the air wave caused by the crash of the spacecraft directly destroyed the stairs that had been in disrepair, causing Daisy, Ian, and Jane to escape. Foster and the three children also fell down, and together with the spaceship, they started an endless free fall in this wonderful space!
"...Boom--" "...Ahhhhh--help-"
