Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Surely it can't really be a copyright issue? There's no copyright god in the Marvel universe!

However, when Sherlock rushed into the box, he was still stunned by what he saw.

This isn't a storage room for mechanical soldiers; it's a damn mechanical soldier production workshop!

Countless mechanical soldiers are produced inside the box and then assembled to fight. Putting aside everything else, this production capacity alone is enough to destroy a planet countless times.

Chapter 364 This is an upward movement, this is a downward movement, this is the accelerator.

Fortunately, this situation is actually a good thing for Sherlock. Putting aside the mechanical soldiers that have been produced but not yet started, the biggest weakness of the production line or assembly line is the irreplaceability of each link.

Sherlock doesn't even need to destroy the entire factory; he only needs to sabotage key points to bring the entire factory to a standstill.

However, when Sherlock returned to the base after resolving the subsequent troubles, the scene before him surprised him.

Sister Fluttershy and Gandalf did not kill those deformed aliens, nor did they even lay a hand on the three Sea Kings. They simply stared intently at the aliens who had been bound like dumplings, their eyes red with fury.

Only the adorable Doro was holding an alien that was clearly dead, looking completely bewildered.

That little expression seemed to be accusing Gandalf and Cynthia of being uncivilized, rushing out together without telling her to leave any survivors.

Seeing Doro's betrayed expression, Sherlock tried to suppress his urge to laugh, waved to Doro, and placed the aggrieved Doro back on his head before looking at the scene.

After briefly questioning the two aliens, Sherlock carried Lilith into the spaceship without the slightest hesitation, even taking Flora and Gandalf with him.

As for those few oddly shaped aliens, they were left to the three seafood generals.

It's worth mentioning that there's another important reason why those deformed aliens were able to destroy the planet of the Three Seafood Generals with their mechanical army, a reason that Sherlock overlooked.

gravity!

Indeed, you can tell from the size of the three Seafood Generals that the gravity of their planet is much lighter than normal. As a result, although the people of the Seafood Generals planet are quite powerful, they still have some difficulty facing the overwhelming mechanical army.

It can only be said that there is danger almost everywhere in this universe, and the influence of gravity is something Sherlock has never considered!

In just a short while, the three seafood generals returned with red eyes, while no one bothered to ask about the few oddly shaped aliens.

After everyone entered the black, boxy factory, Sherlock, with the help of the All-Knowing Analyzer, led everyone directly to the control panel.

The good news is that as technology becomes more mature, the ultimate goal of any technology is the same: to simplify operation as much as possible and make it as user-friendly as possible.

Take, for example, this boxy robot factory version of the spaceship. Anyone who has ever flown a plane in GTA can easily understand how to pilot it.

Pulling the U-shaped steering wheel outwards raises the steering wheel, pushing it inwards lowers it, and turning it left or right tilts the steering wheel. The pedals below the control panel allow for horizontal movement and left or right turns.

That thing that looks like a gear lever is actually the accelerator. Pushing it forward accelerates, and pulling it back reverses.

This is how the spaceship in front of us is driven; even starting it is like starting a car with a single button.

Looks simple, right? But wait, there's more bad news!

The bad news is that, aside from driving, many other things are incredibly complicated, such as star charts, which Sherlock really can't understand!

Aside from that, Sherlock couldn't figure out any of the other nonsense, such as how to open and close the spaceship's hatch, or how to enter and exit at faster-than-light speeds!

It's not that the Analysis of Everything can't provide an answer; it's that Sherlock completely doesn't understand what the Analysis of Everything is supposed to be doing!

It's like throwing that supposedly top-tier martial arts manual, Master Qian's Notes, in front of you and telling you that it's a treasure that will make you invincible, and then telling you to start learning from Master Qian's Notes.

At this moment, Sherlock is just an ordinary person holding Qian Lao's notebook!

With feedback from the analysis of everything, Sherlock successfully learned how to pilot the spaceship, which is the preface of Qian Lao's Notes. However, Sherlock couldn't understand a single word of the truly difficult parts!

Left with no other choice, Sherlock could only turn his head and look in the direction of the three seafood generals.

The three seafood generals seemed to have known Sherlock would look over, so they completely avoided eye contact with him. They all pretended to be very busy, either whistling or sleeping. Huang Mian even took out the Light Nail Clippers and started trimming his fingernails.

The only one who dared to meet Sherlock's gaze, Lilith, had a clear yet foolish look in her eyes, and was even subtly pulled away by Akahoshi, who was whistling.

Left with no other choice, Sherlock could only turn to look in the direction of Violet and Gandalf, hoping to see if any of these two immortal beings were familiar with how to pilot a spaceship.

Clearly, the two men also noticed Sherlock's awkwardness. Instead of making eye contact with him, they completely ignored him, setting up a tea table and starting to chat.

???

Seeing his teammate's bizarre state, Sherlock's head was filled with three huge question marks, which ultimately became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Damn it, I refuse to believe that a living person can die from holding in their pee!"

After cursing, Sherlock decisively jumped out of the pilot's seat and stomped angrily toward the connection between the spaceship and the base.

"So what if you don't know which button is for disconnecting the link and closing the hatch? I'm not going to close it, I'll just use alchemy to close it manually, okay?"

After the spaceship lost connection with the base and I drove it a certain distance, I tried each of the remaining buttons one by one, and I still couldn't figure out what any of them did.

Sherlock walked along muttering and grumbling, his tone growing increasingly resentful with each complaint.

Well, Sherlock probably never imagined in his life that his alchemy would not only require learning things from the mystical side, but even things from the scientific side.

Otherwise, things could very well turn out like they are today, where alchemy has fed back everything to me, but damn it, I can't understand it at all!

Good heavens, other people's cheat codes are so powerful that they can dominate everything and everything, but when I finally managed to transmigrate, this cheat code felt like a college entrance exam simulator.

He's either studying or on his way to studying!

Sherlock even felt that this cheat code shouldn't have been given to him after he transmigrated; it should have been given to him before he transmigrated at all!

If Sherlock had had this cheat code during his senior year of high school in his previous life, he wouldn't have ended up as a miserable beast of burden after graduation, nor would he have been targeted by good fortune while taking a dump in his old, run-down rented room!

Even if the UAV is incredibly powerful, it shouldn't be able to penetrate the walls of a gated community or the Academy of Sciences and rush into my three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment or dormitory, right?

Probably not...?

Chapter 365 Alright, baby, let's go participate in the Ace Combat!

Regret, unparalleled regret! If time could turn back, whether it was the veterans like Gandalf and Flora, the mid-level crew like the three Seafood Generals, or the junior crew like Doro and Lilith, they would all do their best to stop Sherlock from sitting in that driver's seat.

If Sherlock hadn't been in the driver's seat, they wouldn't have had to suffer like this!

As for what exactly happened, the reason why almost everyone present agreed to prohibit Sherlock from piloting the spaceship is quite simple: let's rewind time by about half an hour.

Since no one answered, Sherlock could only grumble and manually close the hatch of the damned black box spaceship, which wasn't a difficult task for him.

The task of severing the connection between the jet bridge and the spaceship using alchemy, and then repairing the unclosable spaceship cabin using alchemy, is so simple that even a novice alchemist could easily complete it.

For Sherlock, there was naturally no need to say much; it was a piece of cake. If anything, Sherlock still harbored great resentment about having to immerse himself in cosmic-level scientific knowledge in the future.

The reason why Sherlock's teammates ignored him when he asked for help is quite simple.

On the one hand, it's because the three Seafood Admirals, as well as Sister Finch and Gandalf, are indeed not capable of piloting spaceships. After all, they and Sherlock are essentially exhibits, so naturally they wouldn't have any contact with them.

On the other hand, the group also wanted to see how capable Sherlock was, at least to get to know this teammate.

It should be noted that, apart from knowing the name Sherlock and that Sherlock was an alchemist, they knew virtually nothing else about him.

They don't know anything about personality, thoughts, values, or even the most basic concepts of good and evil!

You see, people at their level might not care whether Sherlock's power is strong or not, but his values ​​and personality are absolutely what they value most.

Just as the three Sea Kings would never approve of someone who commits all kinds of evil, so too would Laura and Gandalf never approve of someone without any moral compass. They needed an opportunity to observe Sherlock.

And the facts have proven one thing: Sherlock is definitely not an extremely evil person without any bottom line.

The simplest example is the seemingly trivial matter of disconnecting the spaceship from the base. If Sherlock were truly an extremely selfish person, he could have simply severed the connection between the spaceship and the base and then simply repaired the spaceship.

While this ensures absolute safety inside the spaceship, it could also cut off the lives of those inside the base.

It's important to understand that in the vacuum of space, pressure imbalance is no small matter. Considering the width of the connection between the spaceship and the base, even a brief imbalance can cause drastic changes in the oxygen content inside the base.

Although everyone present was a 'collector', they had all been imprisoned for so long and had come to know this to some extent through what they saw and heard.

Fortunately, Sherlock passed their test.

However, what happened next was something they regretted so much that it would remain a vivid memory for the rest of their lives.

After Sherlock disconnected the ship from the base and repaired the ship with alchemy, he returned to the cockpit and took the pilot's seat.

This seemed perfectly normal to everyone, and even Sherlock didn't find anything unusual about it.

After carefully starting the spaceship, Sherlock nervously piloted it manually for a short distance before cautiously beginning to familiarize himself with its operation.

From the most basic forward and backward movements in place to ascent and descent, left and right turns, and various advanced maneuvers, Sherlock gradually became familiar with the performance of the spaceship he had never encountered before.

There was nothing unusual here; in fact, it seemed perfectly normal to everyone.

However, an unexpected event caused this otherwise normal situation to become anything but normal.

Indeed, Sherlock and his crew's spaceship detached from the base, and their attempt to operate the spaceship like complete novices successfully attracted the attention of the other ships.

After the other ships called out to Sherlock's original owner but received no response, they decisively launched an attack on Sherlock's ship.

Under these circumstances, Sherlock could only frantically use alchemy to repair the spaceship while piloting it to evade enemy attacks.

Even under immense pressure, Sherlock, with his mind highly focused, began to perform maneuvers similar to the Cobra maneuver to evade enemy attacks.

It is important to understand that in the weightless environment of space, without considering aerodynamics and propulsion, many maneuvers that seem impossible to aircraft on Earth become extremely simple in space, and the burden they bring is reduced many times over.

But here's the problem: their spaceship isn't in a weightless environment, but rather has artificial gravity!

In a weightless environment, even if the spacecraft performs supersonic rolling maneuvers, or even rolls at supersonic speeds, a person can float in mid-air and quietly wait for the spacecraft's maneuver to end.

But their spaceship happens to have artificially simulated gravity! Most importantly, Sherlock doesn't know how to turn off this damned gravity simulation, so the consequences might not be pleasant.

How can I describe that feeling?

It's like being trapped inside a square box, and then having that damned box go through a spectacular Brownian motion in mid-air.

What? Still don't understand?

To put it another way, you've all seen bartending, right? Various drinks are mixed together and poured into a cocktail shaker, where the shaker flips the shaker up and down with all sorts of techniques and variations.

Did you think I was going to talk about that cocktail glass?

No! The truth is, apart from Sherlock, the pilot, everyone else is like the drinks in that damn cocktail glass!

Seriously, Sister Hua was a madwoman in the first half of her life, always either chopping people up or on her way to chop people up. In the second half of her life, she was gentle and elegant for half her life. In her long life, this is the first time Sister Hua has experienced the feeling of dice in a dice cup!

If it weren't for Sherlock's pale face and cold sweat on his forehead, and his hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly they were almost white, Sister Hua would have almost suspected that Sherlock was doing it on purpose.

Chapter 366 Enemy: Mom, come out and see the gods!

Did you think that this was the end of the story that would make everyone incredibly regretful? The reality is just three words!
