I'm a hero in Marvel

The lights were flashing, the rhythm of the dance music was fiery, and the beautiful woman with long golden hair swaying to the music was so attractive that people couldn't take their eyes off it. Just after 7 o'clock in the evening, a red light rushed from the horizon and pointed directly at the center of the stage.

All media's attention was focused on the sky, because everyone knew that the real protagonist had appeared. Tony Stark, wearing the Iron Man suit, made his debut in such a shocking way!

Flying to the center of the stage, four mechanical arms assisted him in taking off his hard armor, revealing a well-fitting suit and shirt underneath, and Tony walked onto the stage with a smile on his face. The music suddenly stopped, and at this moment, the traditional opening speech was about to begin.

But this year's expo is destined to be extraordinary. Tony did not brag about himself and his company or talk about technological progress as he did in the past. His in-depth conversation with Li Jie made them think more deeply, and this idea will be revealed at today's expo.

Li Jie, Harry and Peter, three good friends, were sitting in the front row. They could clearly see the smile on Tony's face.

"Everyone, welcome to the Stark Industries Expo. I'm not being modest, this is a preview of the future of mankind." Tony's words were confident and fluent, as if he was explaining a law. No one in the audience or the media questioned him.

"But this year is different. In addition to technological development, I am also thinking about the progress of human spirit and how we coexist with society and the universe." Tony walked to the front desk with a microphone in hand, his eyes scanning the audience and media below the stage.

He said to everyone in a solemn tone: "Perhaps we should think about the future path of mankind. Here, I would like to extend an invitation to wise men around the world. Human progress lies not only in technology, but also in thinking and philosophy. I will establish a foundation - the Horizon Fund, which is dedicated to investing in human philosophy and thought!"

The Horizon Foundation, a new foundation proposed by Tony, was not a sudden idea. Prior to this, he and Li Jie had already conducted detailed planning and discussions.

They had thought carefully about the idea of ​​the foundation. As Li Jie once said to Tony, "We need our own representatives in politics."

This is not an empty talk. Whether it is Tony, Li Jie, or even other members of the Illuminati, they all realize that they are at a new starting point of a great era.

Since Tony revealed the secret of the Brotherhood of Shield, they have understood that humans are not alone. The Starfleet exchanged by Li Jie is an undoubted proof of this.

Perhaps geniuses like Tony and Hank are currently unable to design a battleship on their own that can both travel between stars and fight, but this is simply due to lack of experience. After all, humans have never been involved in this field.

But once they have the opportunity to study ready-made products, they can gain a wealth of knowledge through reverse engineering. This is a learning process, and sometimes, creating knowledge is more difficult than learning knowledge. It can be foreseen that after the Star Fleet is formed, scientists like Hank and Tony will draw a lot of knowledge from it and may even design new spaceships independently.

Because the value of the blueprints provided by Li Jie far exceeds the manufacture of the warship itself. Li Jie knows this very well.

These drawings include a complete system platform, including the armor melting system of the new interstellar battleship, the manufacture of jump engines and micro-warp engines, new weapon platforms, and complex electronic systems, etc. The knowledge contained therein requires time to digest even for genius scientists like Hank and Tony.

These reverse engineering projects have brought new hope and possibilities to mankind. Just as the two had talked before, the Age of Exploration has come again, but this time the destination is the sea of ​​stars!

With the advent of the new era, the existing political system will inevitably suffer a huge impact. Will the existing political structure still adapt to the new order of the cosmic era?

Tony and Li Jie have their own views on the new era. They want to establish a new order. The Horizon Foundation is their layout in this transformation. In the cosmic era, human sociology and leadership philosophy will undergo a revolution.

For ordinary people, philosophy may not be useful in their lifetime, but for leaders, it is a required course. Whether it is the political system and philosophical exploration in ancient Greece and Rome, or the Hundred Schools of Thought in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods in China, the impact of various thoughts on the country can even change the lifestyles and war strategies of millions of people.

Even in modern society, every political system needs to establish its own philosophy, whether it is egoism or public interest. A core idea is crucial, just like capitalism and socialism.

The spiritual characteristics of human beings are so strange. Although they are invisible and colorless, society will move forward according to certain set philosophical and sociological concepts. Li Jie is sometimes a fanatic, which can be seen from his behavior.

"You need someone in politics." This statement is more than just about arranging for New York Mayor George Stancy.

Li Jie's thinking was more profound. The era of the universe began with him. To be more precise, it was the Illuminati members led by him who greatly promoted the development of human society and allowed mankind to enter the era of the universe.

Before the new era arrives, the members of the Illuminati are the first to know about it because they planned it all themselves.

While others haven't reacted yet, they decided to do something first, such as exploring the new order of the new era, and taking the lead will lead them step by step.

The core goal of the Horizon Foundation is to establish an incentive fund and build new schools and laboratories. Although cosmic philosophy and cosmic sociology are the main projects, they are not the only ones.

"What will happen if the new era and new order of the future advance according to completely new thinking?" Li Jie asked this question at the Illuminati meeting.

"This seems overconfident. Can we represent all of humanity?" Captain Rogers disagrees.

"Of course not." Li Jie shook his head and said, "This is just an attempt. It's not something we can easily decide."

He looked around and said: "We are just looking for ways to create a new order among the wise men around the world, including their thoughts and various inferences. Even if some ideas seem absurd, at least when the new era comes, if we encounter similar situations, we will be able to deal with them."

"The tide of history is surging forward. Those who follow it will prosper, while those who go against it will perish. This is not a joke. We are just a small boat in the torrent. If we are not careful in handling it, we will capsize." Li Jie said seriously.

"What we have done is just an alternative plan that may be implemented. The new era brings new opportunities. As long as we seize the opportunity, there will be a lot we can do, including solving known drawbacks." Li Jie looked at Professor X and Hank.

"For example, the mutants, are they the pioneers of the new human order, or do they stick to the old ways and fight endlessly with Magneto on Earth?" Li Jie's words made the professor and Hank fall into deep thought.

"Of course, this still requires the efforts of Dr. Hank to reduce the damage to mutants' bodies when they mutate. Most mutants' self-identity problems stem from the damage done to them by the X gene. Many X abilities are not beneficial, but harmful. This part of the research will be the focus next." Li Jie looked at Captain Rogers and Tony again.

"So we need Horizon to gather human wisdom and find new ways. Maybe it's too early for me to say this, after all, we haven't even brought back the first batch of helium-3."

“But everyone, those who do not consider the overall situation cannot deal with local problems. Those who do not focus on the long-term cannot cope with the challenges at hand!” Li Jie said in a loud voice.

At this point, Captain Rogers softened his tone: "But we cannot guarantee that we are right. Without the support of the people, we are nothing." He has a deep understanding of this point.

Li Jie also understood this, otherwise he would not have gone to such great lengths to remove the sacred halo of heroes and planned with George the "superhero version of the Chaoyang Masses" plan in New York.

"So we never intend to break away from the popular base. Top-down change is never as good as bottom-up change." Li Jie clapped his hands. "The existence of the New York City 'Justice League' is justified, and there is a reason why I support Kick-Ass."

"They represent the voice of the people. Compared to you, I also come from the common people. We are no nobler than those people who pursue a better life and those ordinary people who are willing to contribute to changing the world," Li Jie said seriously.

"The Justice League will be more and more useful in the future, although it's not obvious yet. The guy in the green tights may be a little bit immature, but he has a superhuman heart. The power he represents is a trend from the people! Small people can also have great power. As for the follow-up of the Justice League, I think I can discuss it with Kick-Ass next time."

"Now, please vote on the establishment of the Horizon Foundation." After saying this, Li Jie raised his hand first.

Tony and Hank followed, and finally Charles and Captain Rogers also raised their hands in agreement. The power of the Illuminati became more and more prominent. Before people realized that the cosmic age was coming, or that it would happen so quickly, Li Jie had already pushed the Illuminati to lay out their chess pieces for the future.
