Marvel: Wonka's Chocolate Factory

Chapter 153 Buddy, you're not even qualified to do any work.

The world has gone mad, with everyone from the lowest-ranking commoners to the elites at the top of the pyramid frantically chasing after the Totland Corporation and Stark Industries.

In an instant, aerospace stocks soared like rockets.

Especially after the truth about Svartafheim was revealed, the powerful and wealthy became even more excited.

That's an entire planet, one of the nine kingdoms, the home of the dark elves!

Anyone who handles engineering projects can understand that Stark Industries could gain a foothold in the universe simply by securing a project at a banquet.

Obadiah received Tony's message and, after obtaining authorization from the Stark Industries board of directors, released the information to the outside world.

"Stark Industries has completed an environmental analysis of Svartafheim and formally approved 527 projects, including canals, airports, residential buildings, and energy facilities."

This news exploded like a bomb, pushing the atmosphere on Earth to its peak.

Tony understood that Stark Industries alone couldn't handle such a large project, and that they needed Willy Wonka's connections to gain Malekith's approval.

He plans to bring together a series of companies on Earth to form a community and make a fortune in Swarthavheim.

"Willy Wonka, is the Totland Group interested in joining the development of Swaltafheim?"

Tony knew that the Tottoland Corporation now had tens of millions of Class D employees, giving it an absolute advantage in manpower.

Moreover, considering the long-standing feud between Asgard and the Dark Elves, Malekith would probably be quite happy to have these D-class employees contribute to the development of Svaltfheim.

"No interest, Tony. The Totto Land Group operates on a different path. We have the core technology; there's no need for us to compete with you for these petty gains."

Willy Wonka refused to become a contractor; he could obtain advanced technology from the Dark Elves through equal communication.

"Is chocolate core technology?" Tony wondered. It's just a food; there must be other civilizations in the universe that make it.

How can the Tottoland Group, which has no control over the origin of raw materials or sales channels in the universe, be considered to have core technology?

Willy Wonka confidently stated, "Chocolate is not the core technology of the Totland Group; Willy Wonka's chocolate is."

Tony had nothing to say. He knew Willy Wonka's situation quite well, and there was nothing wrong with what Willy Wonka said.

The total population of the Dark Elves, including both newborns and the very old, is only a few million.

However, in the ten-thousand-year-long battle, the Dark Elves lost their status, power, and population, but they did not lose much of the wealth they had accumulated over the long term.

The dark elves possess vast wealth, with various currencies piled up in their warehouses—a fortune that could help them rise again.

Universal currency, Asgardian coins, vibranium, Sovereign batteries, and even a large sum of Galactic Credits in Malekith's possession.

After ruling the Nine Realms, Asgard shifted from expansion to isolation, with its vaults overflowing with Asgardian coins, but other cosmic currencies being scarce.

Willy Wonka, however, was determined to abolish Asgardian coins altogether and use Tottoland cocoa coins exclusively on Chocolate Island.

This meant that he did not receive much direct economic benefit from Asgard.

Willy Wonka and Malekith then agreed on exchange rates between Tottoran cocoa and various currencies, except for Asgardian coins.

It was quite natural that Tottolan cocoa coins became one of the Dark Elves' reserve currencies.

"What?! Twenty million universal currency? My goodness, these sinister elves are really rich!"

The Guardians of the Galaxy and Tony Stark are together, evaluating a construction project for an energy base.

Tony plans to use controlled nuclear fusion technology as its core to enable this energy base to output powerful electrical energy.

He plans to divide Svartafheim’s important residential area into a series of smaller zones, with each zone having a tower built to provide light and heat.

The first tower was powered by three energy bases to ensure that the light and heat emitted by the tower could dispel the darkness and thus change the rotten and damp environment.

Civilizations that have ventured into space have found their own solutions to the energy problem. Some civilizations use magic, but most rely on technology.

Most civilizations that have pursued a technological path have mastered controlled nuclear fusion technology, which can provide them with an almost inexhaustible source of energy.

source.

From Rocket's perspective, this was a fairly basic technology. Combined with some infrastructure to form an ordinary energy base, it was enough to obtain 20 million universal currency from the Dark Elves.

Rocket silently calculated in his mind that the Dark Elves would pay nearly 10 billion Universal Currency for the project undertaken by Stark Industries. Keep in mind that the total bounty for the entire Guardians of the Galaxy was only a little over one million.

This simple energy base is worth enough to exchange for 20 Guardians of the Galaxy.

The Rockets are already twisted with jealousy. No, what right does Stark have?!

Even Gamora, who had seen the world, was amazed by the enormous sum of money; the dark elves were truly wealthy.

Star-Lord pondered the history of the Dark Elves and gained a clearer understanding of what it meant to be involved with this kind of "old money."

Rocket grabbed Star-Lord and turned to leave, heading straight for Malekith's palace.

"Hey Rockets, what are you doing?"

"I want to take on projects; I have the technical skills; I can build Swaltafheim!"

Rocket's words were resounding. They drifted around in space every day, taking on all sorts of missions, and had countless near-death experiences, only to end up scavenging scraps.

This time, he really broke down.

Inside the palace, Malekith was still negotiating with Willy Wonka. They had moved on from their commercial collaborations and begun discussing military cooperation.

Willy Wonka's core message is that the Dark Elves must quickly arm themselves and regain the power to defend themselves.

He emphasized the importance of the Aether to Malekith.

"The Mad Titan Thanos? I've heard that name. He's a dangerous man, and a powerful one." Malekith chewed on the name.

If Thanos has designs on the Aether, then that would indeed be troublesome.

Willy Wonka solemnly told Malekith, "The Aether is the Present Stone, I possess the Space Stone, and there is also a Time Stone on Earth."

"Chief Malekith, we are natural allies. If Thanos invades the Nine Realms, the Dark Elves must also bear the responsibility."

Just then, Rocket pulled Star-Lord into the palace. After greeting Willy Wonka, they told Malekith their request to contribute to the construction of Svaltfheim.

As expected, the offer was rejected on the grounds that Stark Industries had sufficient resources to rebuild Svartfheim.

Tony waited for the dejected Rocket at the palace gates. He patted Rocket on the shoulder: "Buddy, don't be so down. This isn't a technical problem. Not everyone is qualified to contribute to the construction of Svartfheim."

"The primary requirement is reliability, and clearly, in Chief Malekith's eyes, Stark Industries is more reliable than the Guardians of the Galaxy."
