I'm a hero in Marvel

"The staff dormitory will no longer charge for water and electricity! I will switch to Subway sandwiches for midnight snacks instead of Donald's dollar burgers!" Hill announced loudly. "All our agent benefits will be restored, and we can do better."

However, Barton did not compromise: "You can't buy us by doing this! We are a united Avengers team. My partners will..." Will they support me?

Oh my god! Why are you all so far away from me! Barton looked back and found that the Avengers kept their distance from him. Natasha and White Tiger were discussing cosmetics; Iron Fist Blade and Cage were talking about martial arts moves. The scene just now seemed to be an illusion of Hawkeye.

Captain Rogers came over and patted Patton on the shoulder, saying meaningfully: "Thank you for your hard work, Patton."

Wait, what does this mean? What do you mean by hard work? What do you want to say, Captain? I have always regarded you as my idol! What do you want to do? In an instant, Patton felt abandoned by the whole world.

Deadpool lay on the ground, one leg raised, and stretched out a hand to him to make a V sign. Hill glanced at the scene, and it seemed that everything was resolved. Although she seemed to have overlooked a key person.

Hill clapped his hands, smiled and left. It seemed that all the problems could be solved happily!

When everyone left, Barton was left alone, disheveled in the wind. Wait, he suddenly realized something!

Hill, if you had given me a million dollars in funding, why would I end up like this? You are now playing the good guy, but you are letting me take all the blame!

At this moment, Patton deeply felt the pain as if he was pierced by thousands of arrows, especially the mean look in Deadpool's eyes before he left. This made Patton understand that the matter between him and Deadpool was not over in the days to come!

In the 1960s, when humans first set foot on the moon, they left their footprints and civilization on another planet far away from the earth. At that moment, countless people were full of expectations and looked forward to the arrival of a new era of great navigation. However, this time, humans no longer faced turbulent waves and ocean currents, but endless darkness and the vast universe.

In the vast and dark universe, we have no navigation marks, no air to breathe, and even the light from the stars seems precious in this silent and dark space.

The first Age of Exploration ushered in the true globalization process. Spanish galleons loaded with silk and porcelain purchased from China sailed to Europe, and then returned to China with exquisite glassware, clocks and Central Asian spices from Europe. The time for a round trip was counted in years.

But it was those brave explorers who, with their ambition, sense of honor and ideals, braved the waves again and again. They brought not only simple trade exchanges, but also connected the ideological culture, market economy and science and technology, and even eating habits and lifestyles between the East and the West.

Since then, the pace of human globalization has officially begun, and we have gradually realized that the planet we live on is far from as vast as we imagined. The land has boundaries and the ocean has an end.

When benefits are unevenly distributed, ideas diverge, and wars rage, people begin to turn their attention to the dark and mysterious space in the sky—a place that is still beyond the reach of mankind. That is the stars, that is the sea!

The moment Armstrong left his footprints on the moon, the whole world was shocked. A new era of exploration has arrived! Some people shouted. This time, we are no longer going to conquer the vast ocean, but the stars in the sky!

How dangerous is the universe? The answer is far more dangerous than you think! Just to send an astronaut away from the earth and into orbit requires the power of half of a superpower, and success is not guaranteed.

Even so, the world is still obsessed with exploring the universe, and even if we try our best, we can only do some theoretical research, because everyone has seen the profound impact and major changes that the Age of Exploration has brought to human society.

If we give up space exploration, it means giving up the new era of navigation. No one with lofty ideals will give up easily. Will humans be afraid of the sacrifices they will make on this long journey?

Look at the relics of the Silk Road that have turned into bones and the camels that have fallen in the desert; look at the civilizations and cities that have disappeared in the historical records; look at the ships sleeping under the vast blue waves and the machines eroded by the sea water; and look at the pirate treasures in the legendary stories.

Human civilization has never stopped exploring the unknown, even if it means paying the price of life! Sometimes, some things cannot be done just by fearless courage, such as exploring the universe. Since Armstrong, humans have not set foot on the moon again for sixty years.

It was not until Tony Stark proposed the lunar development plan and sent Dr. Richards and his four companions to the moon that humans saw the dawn of interstellar navigation for the first time. The era of the great star sea is really coming, and people living in this era are undoubtedly lucky, because they are fortunate to be witnesses before the advent of the great new era.

However, living in such an era is also full of misfortunes. They will inevitably bear the various impacts brought about by this earth-shaking new era. The natural selection, survival of the fittest, is extremely cruel.

When all scientists, astronomers, even politicians and military strategists focused their attention on the moon, the first stepping stone for mankind into the universe.

However, Tony Stark secretly reached out his hand to a planet that almost no one paid attention to, or would not attract people's attention at all - Venus.

"This is a unique magic ring carefully crafted by Master Ancient One." Li Jie handed Tony a magic prop that Ancient One had spent a long time making.

This was the second gathering of the Illuminati, and the purpose of this gathering was extremely simple, it was for the magic ring that Li Jie took out.

"Wearing it can directly open the space portal between the Earth and Venus. Master Ancient One has confirmed that there will be no strange things on the other side of the portal." Li Jie explained the function of the ring. It turned out that this is a tool for opening a space channel.

"Then how do I use this thing?" Tony took the ring curiously and observed it carefully.

"It's powered by energy. Master Ancient One drew an extremely complex magic array inside it. This prop was specially customized based on the energy source you can provide - the Ark Reactor." Li Jie replied. Although Ancient One would not participate in the actions of the Illuminati, he still helped this group of people create such a space-time portal so that they could establish a base on Venus.

"What an amazing magic." Dr. Hank pushed his black-framed glasses, took the special magic ring from Tony and praised it highly.

"Are we going to Venus now?" Captain Rogers was a little curious. He himself had never had any experience in interstellar travel. In fact, no one present had any experience either.

They were all very curious about exploring other planets. However, Tony poured cold water on them: "The surface temperature of Venus is as high as 450 degrees Celsius. I don't think it's safe to go to Venus before I build a base." Tony was indeed thoughtful.

"Since Master Ancient One will not participate in our plan, we are missing a guardian. If this ring malfunctions during use and we are trapped on Venus, it will be a big trouble! We don't have any way to return to Earth directly from Venus. You know, it is much farther away than the moon."

Everyone generally agreed with Tony's point of view, so the construction of the space portal fell on the shoulders of three outstanding scientists: Hank, Tony and Charles.

Their goal is to build a fixed, secure space portal. Once it is successfully built, Tony will create armor suitable for activities on Venus for everyone to use.

As for the huge amount of money needed to build a base on Venus, it was entirely borne by the Illuminati's big moneymaker, Tony Stark. After all, the wealth owned by others pales in comparison and is only enough to make up for the loss. This is enough to show how important it is to have a rich man within the team.

"Why do we have to go so far? To Venus!" Captain Rogers was quite confused and didn't understand why Tony set up the headquarters in such a remote place.

"It's all down to someone's crazy plan." Tony glanced at Li Jie and said, "I need a lot of mineral resources, and if I do this on Earth, it will be easy to be discovered."

In response to Tony's statement, Li Jie shrugged: "You should be aware of what happened to the Brotherhood of the Shield later. You finally understand what an alien invasion is. Master Ancient One has taken me to see the rise and fall of countless cosmic civilizations. We are just preparing for a rainy day."

Charles, Rogers and others were not aware of the tacit understanding between Li Jie and Tony in private. But since they had formed the Illuminati, the organization strictly followed the principle of confidentiality, and some things had to be shared with other members.

"It's actually not that complicated. You all know the Brotherhood of the Shield, and you should also know that alien civilizations have visited the Earth many years ago, and not all of them are friendly. Not all alien creatures are as friendly as in the movies." Li Jie explained to Captain Rogers and Charles.

"So from the beginning, Tony and I planned to form an armed force. Humans have begun to move into space, and it is only a matter of time before they encounter alien civilizations. To some extent, some wars are almost inevitable. So we decided to build a space fleet ourselves."

This is part of Li Jie's follow-up plan for the Battle of New York. The technology product map sold within the system happens to contain real interstellar battleship design drawings! Of course, if Tony is to be responsible for production and manufacturing, he must find a suitable excuse for him.

The production of super weapons of this level cannot be completely concealed no matter where on Earth. Therefore, it is most appropriate to set up the base and production line on Venus. Moreover, mining minerals on Venus does not require too much consideration of ecological and environmental issues. Although the initial construction cost is high, once the production line is started, the actual production cost may be lower than on Earth.

After all, no one would ask you for taxes or other fees there. Li Jie had accumulated a large amount of reputation points just to redeem these things.

"In this case, wouldn't it be better to leave it to the governments of various countries to deal with? Weapons like star battleships." Although Rogers asked this question, from his expression, it can be seen that he did not want to pursue anything, but wanted to understand Li Jie and Tony's opinions.

"This issue is very complicated, Captain. I think you should understand politics very well." Li Jie said as he looked at Rogers. The other members could see from Rogers' revelations about the US military that this captain was no ordinary person.

"Weapons like interstellar battleships, no matter which country they fall into, are likely to foster their expansionist ambitions. I'm worried that we'll start a large-scale civil war before we even see aliens."

It should be clear that the saying "to resist foreign aggression, one must first stabilize the internal situation" is really popular in the market. Maybe in the future, some ambitious person will use this public opinion to provoke the Third World War. Those who are extremely obsessed with power have never been our kind. Li Jie's words clearly expressed his position.

As for power, we are not interested in it at all. What we really want to do is to build the ideal world in our minds. This is fundamentally different from those politicians who are scheming for power.

Hearing this, everyone agreed. Thus, the construction of Venus officially kicked off today. The Illuminati, as a major organization that can influence the world, also took its historic first step!

Although this is indeed the case, when everyone was excited, Tony suddenly poured cold water on them and said something that was not appropriate: "We still have one thing to solve."

"What's the matter?" Li Jie couldn't understand what problem needed to be dealt with at this time.

"It's just a funding issue." Unexpectedly, Tony brought up something that no one had expected: "Hey, why are you all looking at me like that? Please, stop looking at me like that."

"Do you expect me to shoulder all the expenses of the Illuminati alone, including all the plans of that crazy guy? Please, that's billions or even tens of billions of dollars, and it may continue to increase! If Pepper finds out that I embezzled so much money, she will definitely resign!"

Oh! What you said is not right! Isn't Iron Man the one who takes the blame and pays the bill in the team? When did he become so smart and start to consider economic issues?

Li Jie was worried that the person he met this time was a fake - a fake Iron Man!
