I'm a hero in Marvel

Chapter 72 Other Planets

These Iron Men work day and night, and their efficiency is equivalent to that of a team of thousands of ordinary people. It is because of them that Tony can now tell everyone that they can travel to Venus for inspection.

The surface temperature of Venus is extremely high, about 450 degrees Celsius, like a huge furnace, emitting a blazing light. The atmosphere here is extremely harsh, filled with all kinds of toxic substances, but lacking the oxygen necessary for life. Under such extreme conditions, it is extremely hot during the day, as if you are in lava; and at night, it becomes extremely cold, like falling into an ice cellar. Faced with such a difficult environmental challenge, Tony stood in the Immortal City, wearing an indestructible steel armor, and said seriously: "These are the two major problems we must solve." He knew that the road ahead was rugged, but his determination was unwavering.

"The first phase of the Venus base has been completed, and we can go and see the new base. However, before we set off, I have customized armor for you because the environment on Venus is not suitable for human survival." Tony led Li Jie and others to the equipment station in front of the space gate.

Many robotic arms are ready with various armor parts. They are responsible for helping Li Jie and others put on Venus-specific armor with life support systems.

"Come on, friends. Step onto the platform, put on your travel gear, and let's go to Venus!" Tony was as excited as a child who was about to go on a long journey.

Li Jie and others watched Tony walk up to the equipment platform and put on a full set of Venus armor. Tony had already activated the space gate.

The blue space gate opened, this side is the Earth, that side is Venus. At this moment, human beings set foot on a planet other than the Moon for the first time!

……

Venus is the second closest planet to the sun after Mercury in the solar system. The air pressure here is 90 times that of the earth, equivalent to the pressure of the 900-meter deep sea on earth.

With a broken atmosphere, scorching surface temperature, and occasional sulfuric acid rain, human civilization has never considered this planet closest to the Earth as a target for colonization.

Aside from a few astronomers who are mildly interested, most scientists and governments pay little attention to this desolate place.

But today, Earth civilization has begun to build a complex on the land of Venus. A gray hut has just appeared on the surface of Venus, which is just the tip of the iceberg of the entire base and only the entrance. More secrets are hidden under the surface of Venus.

The busy steel engineering team uses earth materials to shape traces of civilization on this lifeless planet.

Li Jie, wearing armor, passed through the space gate and set foot on the land of Venus for the first time. Above his head was the atmosphere of Venus composed of carbon dioxide.

Looking around, the surface of Venus is desolate. It is a waterless planet with 70% of it being plains, and the sight line can reach the end of the horizon.

Li Jie bent down and grabbed a handful of Venusian sand, and after careful observation, he scattered it into the air. This Venus, called the Morning Star, will become the key base of the Illuminati. Morning Star, everything will start from here!

Li Jie clenched his fists and strode towards the Venus base.

When building the Venus base, Tony had conducted a detailed survey of the surrounding area. Using various geological equipment, he conducted a detailed investigation within a radius of 50 kilometers to ensure that the geology was suitable for building a base.

The person who assisted him in this was Dr. Beast Hank. After all, Tony also had a lot of things to do on Earth and couldn't hide on Venus every day. Otherwise, Pepper might go crazy looking for him.

So, in the Venus base, besides Tony, Hank is the biggest help. There is really no way to deal with this situation! After all, Professor Charles is very inconvenient to move due to physical reasons; and what about Li Jie and Captain Rogers? When they face the scientific data provided by Tony and Hank, they are no different from illiterates.

Professional matters can only be left to professionals.

There are many mining areas within a radius of 50 kilometers, which is the main reason why Tony and Hank chose to establish a base here.

First of all, we cannot always rely on the earth to supply raw materials. This not only costs a lot of money, but will also attract attention in the long run.

Secondly, Li Jie's subsequent plan requires a large amount of various materials. If all of them are collected on Earth, it may destroy the ecological environment of the entire Earth.

For Li Jie and Tony, the Earth is an irreplaceable and important planet, and destroying the environment is unacceptable. They can only transform Venus into a large mine and construction base.

Most of the buildings were built underground because Venus has acid rain, which is highly corrosive. If there were too many buildings on the ground, a lot of protective measures would be needed to prevent acid rain from destroying the base, which would be a huge expense. Before Dawn Company made a profit, the funds came from Tony's personal property. Tony couldn't be allowed to bear such a huge financial pressure.

According to Tony and Hank's design, there are not many ground buildings on the Venus base, only a few inconspicuous small houses.

Through these small houses that have been specially treated for corrosion, you can enter the semi-underground open activity layer, which is the preparatory layer of the base. Currently, a large amount of building materials are stored here. After the base is completed, this will become the entrance and helipad and other facilities.

The second floor is the most complete area, mainly used for meetings and leisure for Illuminati members. Tony even plans to build a swimming pool and artificial light garden here to avoid feeling that Venus is too boring.

The third layer is the equipment layer, which has the life system and energy supply to maintain the base. There is also a backup database of Jarvis, so that Jarvis can help the Illuminati members to process complex calculations and data. Even Li Jie and Captain Rogers, who don't know much about scientific knowledge, can quickly master the various high-tech equipment in the base through Jarvis.

The fourth floor is a smart manufacturing factory, similar to the one in Tony's house, used to manufacture Iron Man armor. This fully automated smart factory allows him to produce a large number of Iron Legions in a short period of time. As long as he inputs instructions and key data, Jarvis can manage the entire factory.

The factory at the Venus base is larger than the one under Tony's Los Angeles villa, because in the future, it will not only manufacture steel armor, but also a larger scale. Currently, the fourth floor is still under construction, and except for the basic equipment, everything else is being rushed. After the factory is completed, it will first help manufacture other steel engineering mechas. However, considering that some mechas do not need to work on the surface of Venus, the design standards can be appropriately lowered to reduce the pressure on funds and raw materials.

In addition to the Venus base under construction, another important location is the mine on Venus. This is the key reason why Tony and Li Jie chose to build a base on an alien planet. They need a lot of mineral resources! In addition to the known and mined mineral deposits, Tony also made a lot of neutron detectors to let them scan the surface of Venus and find more mineral deposits. If he did this on Earth, Tony might be caught, after all, governments may be hiding secrets. But on Venus, he can scan with confidence, and mining is more direct, without having to consider environmental issues or paying taxes.

As Tony walked, he enthusiastically introduced the Venus base to Li Jie, Rogers and Professor Charles in detail. As one of the participants in this plan, Hank naturally did not need to be introduced in detail.

Tony said excitedly, "Everyone, this is the Venus base we carefully built. It is not just a simple scientific research station or military base, but also a powerful fortress for us to deal with possible alien invasions in the future! It is no exaggeration to say that once faced with the threat of alien creatures, the Venus base will become the second indestructible line of defense to protect mankind. It can even be called the most critical and vital strategic location to resist alien crises!"

The group walked into the conference room, which was very similar to the common conference rooms on Earth. Obviously, this design was to allow everyone to adapt to the environment more quickly and better devote themselves to work.

Tony continued to explain: "We will deploy preliminary armaments here, all kinds of weapons that may be equipped." Captain Rogers asked: "Don't we need to notify the government?" After all, the Illuminati is now building armed forces in outer space. Li Jie answered on his behalf: "One person may be smart, but a group may be stupid. Captain, you will not forget the panic caused by the 1938 radio drama "World War" in the United States, right?" They gathered together largely because of their distrust of politicians and fear that they would turn important things into personal interests. Rogers was not unfamiliar with this, so he did not object again. He just mentioned the government out of habit.

The five members of the Illuminati learned about the progress of the Venus base in detail and clearly determined their goal - to lead mankind to resist the invasion of alien species. When this short trip to Venus was about to end, Tony was responsible for sending the others home. However, Li Jie deliberately stayed until the end, and it was obvious that he had something to say to Tony alone. Tony naturally understood Li Jie's intention, so he waited until everyone left before turning around to face Li Jie and asked, "Is this another new crazy plan?"

Li Jie smiled and replied, "This is not some crazy plan, but a small gift I brought to you." Then, he took out a bunch of 2TB mobile hard drives from his space belt. These mobile hard drives looked small and delicate, flashing a faint light, as if they contained endless secrets.

Tony raised his eyebrows when he saw so many hard drives. "What are these? Tell me, you gave me more than ten TB of seeds because Pepper has been keeping a close eye on me recently?"

"Oh, please don't misunderstand me! I'm not interested in your messy personal affairs." Li Jie waved his hand quickly, and then continued: "This gift is genuine and given to you sincerely! Of course, it is not only for you, but also a generous gift for all of us on Earth! You know, it is an indispensable and important tool for us to explore the vast universe!"

Li Jie's face was very serious. He slowly emphasized: "Because this is the design of an entire interstellar fleet!"

Back in 1938, when the Columbia Broadcasting Company in the United States was broadcasting a science fiction novel "The War of the Worlds", it accidentally interrupted the news channel due to frequency problems. As a result, people across the United States who were listening to the news suddenly heard the broadcast: aliens have occupied Washington and are advancing towards the eastern coastal areas!

This was a scene from a novel, but audiences across the country believed it to be true. Countless people hurriedly fled their homes, taking everything they could carry with them and heading to the west coast, just to escape the so-called alien threat from the east coast.

The "fake news" incident caused by this misunderstanding is still considered one of the most influential in history...
