I'm a hero in Marvel

In this way, an interstellar love story that transcends race and civilization begins! This is not just the love between two young people, but also a great exchange between two civilizations!

These scenes played out in Tony's mind, and he was almost moved to tears. Although Tony Stark is a rigorous scientist, he is actually delicate and emotional.

He was moved by the great love between Night Walker and the princess.

Li Jie patted Tony on the shoulder and said seriously: "Tony, there are some things you can't say or ask. She still wants to ascend the throne of Asgard. If her daughter's identity is known to others, I will be finished."

Li Jie was telling the truth, but the real meaning was definitely different from what Tony understood. But this did not stop Tony from assuring Li Jie: "Don't worry, I understand."

Tony looked up at the starry sky and sighed, "Sometimes, even people in high positions cannot help themselves!"

Li Jie stood aside and echoed: "Yes, yes!"

Tony patted Li Jie on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my friend. I won't tell anyone about what happened today. I won't reveal a single word. Even if I meet the second princess of Asgard in the future, I won't reveal any flaws. I won't let your relationship with her become awkward."

Li Jie said gratefully: "Thank you, my friend."

"But what about the information? How do I explain the source to others?" Tony thought of the Starfleet information in the conference room.

"Just find an excuse and say that you suddenly had an idea. Or return it to the Holy Shield Brotherhood and say that it was Newton and your father who conceived it but never had the chance to execute it. Then you made improvements after getting the information. Anyway, we don't know much about the Holy Shield Brotherhood, so whatever you say is what it is." Li Jie answered indifferently.

"Why do I have to deal with all these things?" Tony was a little frustrated.

"What?" Li Jie said in an incredulous tone: "Isn't this the meaning of Iron Man's existence?"

Anyway, it's not the first time that Iron Man has taken the blame. You'll get used to it slowly. As a superhero, you need not only superpowers, but also a strong heart and thick skin! Li Jie thought.

Katie has been so busy lately that she doesn't even have time to rest or have a quiet meal, especially after meeting Brazilian super-rich Roberto.

On the surface, Roberto is the richest man in Brazil and an important figure in the global supply of raw materials, but in addition to this, his more important identity is a mutant, and an extremely highly evolved Alpha-level mutant. He has powerful fire abilities (more accurately, atomic fission) and is nicknamed Sunspot. When Katie sought his help, the proud young man initially refused because as a world-renowned man, he was not subject to the discrimination that ordinary low-level mutants encountered.

But in the end, Katie's words convinced him, and he agreed to help realize Katie's seemingly incredible plan - to establish a country!

That’s right, super-rich Roberto proposed a bold and practical plan, which is to buy a country!

It sounds ridiculous, right? How can a country be bought and sold like a commodity? Which sovereign country would easily give up its territory? Aren't they afraid of being blamed by future generations?

In fact, the real world is sometimes more absurd and even more fantastic than novels and movies. For example, buying and selling countries is possible in reality...

In today's society, due to large-scale human activities, large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions have caused the melting of Antarctic and Arctic glaciers and the continuous rise in sea levels. This has brought serious problems to many coastal countries, especially those small island countries. For continental countries or large island countries like Toyo, a few centimeters of sea level rise may not have much impact.

But for some small island nations, every centimeter of sea level rise is enough to cause panic. For example, the world-renowned tourist destination of the Maldives. This picturesque country is facing troubles. Optimistic predictions show that by 2100, the Maldives will be completely submerged, and by 2070, the country will no longer be suitable for human habitation.

The Maldives has begun the countdown to destruction, and most of its citizens will witness the country being swallowed up by the sea and disappearing in their lifetime. Earlier, the president and government of the Maldives began a plan to purchase land overseas, buying land that was willing to be sold, and preparing to relocate all citizens before the country was flooded. The Maldives is lucky that they have time and money to deal with this disaster. As the world's most popular tourist destination, the Maldives has accumulated a lot of wealth in the tourism industry, which is why they are able to purchase land overseas and obtain loans from international banks.

However, not all island countries are as lucky as the Maldives. Take Tuvalu, for example, an obscure small country. The country covers an area of ​​only 26 square kilometers, has a population of about 1.1, an annual output value of less than 1700 million US dollars, and a per capita output value of less than 2000 US dollars. The tragedy of this world's fourth smallest and least developed country is that its speeches at the United Nations General Assembly are often ignored.

The President of Tuvalu has repeatedly called for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and slowing sea level rise, but due to the small size of the country, these calls have often fallen on deaf ears. The highest point in the country is only 4.7 meters above sea level, and most areas are only a few centimeters to a dozen centimeters above sea level. According to the current rate of sea level rise, the most optimistic scenario is that by 2050, 60% of Tuvalu's territory will be submerged by sea water. In fact, the rate of sea level rise has been increasing in recent years. According to this calculation, half of the territory may sink into the Pacific Ocean by 2030.

Tuvalu has no money to build flood control facilities or raise the height of the land, nor can it buy land overseas. International banks have repeatedly refused to lend money, and other countries have refused to accept Tuvaluan refugees. The global media has turned a blind eye to this country, as if it does not exist. Although Tuvalu is a member of the United Nations and enjoys the status of a sovereign state, no one has extended a helping hand because there is no return for helping Tuvalu, and accepting refugees also requires solving the resettlement problem.

No one is willing to take on this responsibility for no reason, unlike the Libyan refugee incident, which was profitable. Tuvalu's problems will only bring bad luck to those involved. Therefore, the world watched indifferently as this country gradually went to ruin.

In just 2017 years, from 2030 to 13, Tuvalu will lose half of its territory, and the remaining part will be uninhabitable. All citizens live in fear and depression. Those who are rich or have overseas connections have already managed to flee, and the rest have nowhere to go. The only way for this small island country to communicate with the outside world is the airport built by the US military during World War II, and one over-aged plane transports residents every month.

Today, Katie and her companions set foot on this land for the first time. Roberto's luxury plane landed in this poor and backward place. The events that are about to happen will change the fate of this country and its people, and completely rewrite the history of mutants. Katie walked in the shabby airport of Tuvalu in light sneakers, followed by a group of young mutants she had gathered. They were full of passion and blood, and they knew their mission. Among them, the older middle-aged man was the guardian of the young student "Sparkling". He was the leader of the West Coast Assassin's League and the Thieves' Guild, known as "King of Cards" Remi.

This was a wild era, a period full of ups and downs. An old-time mutant powerhouse like Gambit never dreamed that one day he would be brought to such a backward place by a group of young people in this way.

Because at this moment, the mutants are about to establish a nation!

Tuvalu President Modote paced back and forth anxiously in the presidential palace. Ruling this small country with only more than 10,000 people, for a big country, the population under the president's jurisdiction may be less than that of a community director.

But no matter what, a country is a country after all. Tuvalu has complete diplomacy and sovereignty, and is theoretically qualified to establish a modern army.

The reason why people elected Modote as president was largely because of one of his words: I will do my best to save this country and the people here!

Yet now, he has begun his second term, seven years into his presidency, despite having given up on saving the country in 2012.

Modott's original plan was to apply for a loan from an international bank and then build a dam to withstand the continued rise in sea levels. But this was only a stopgap measure, and how much money would it cost to build such a dam? Small countries simply couldn't afford it, and international banks directly rejected his loan application.

However, the stubborn president did not give up. It was his responsibility to save the people who were about to be swallowed by the sea. Thanks to his lobbying, the United Nations General Assembly passed a special proposal.

Tuvalu is allowed to reclaim land and expand its territory to resist rising sea levels. The United Nations has approved Tuvalu's expansion of its 26 square kilometers of territory to 1500 square kilometers.

It is important to know that the expansion of island countries is a serious matter that may affect international interests, because according to international law, each coastal country has a 13-kilometer territorial sea baseline and a 200-kilometer exclusive economic zone.

If an island country arbitrarily expands its territory, it will encroach on public economic waters, which is unacceptable to other countries. Tuvalu's expansion is also subject to conditional restrictions: first, it can only be carried out on its own land; second, after the territorial expansion, the area of ​​the exclusive economic zone remains unchanged and remains the same as before the expansion; finally, reclamation must be within the scope designated by the United Nations and cannot exceed the prescribed size and scope.

Modott's efforts earned him special permission from the United Nations, which seemed like a victory, but he felt bitter inside because the United Nations rejected his most important request - to ask for help from other countries.

However, the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council have made it clear that they will not unconditionally support Tuvalu, and Tuvalu has no attractive resources or capital to seek help. China did provide $10,000 in aid, which is the only foreign aid Modott has received in recent years. But this amount of money is not enough to replace the parts of the national power equipment.

U.S. government representatives even privately stated that a country like Tuvalu was not worth bothering with, and they also put pressure on international bank representatives because the United States did not want to pay for Tuvalu's aid.

So, Modott used fierce and even insulting words to criticize the US representative at the UN General Assembly, but he was asked to leave the meeting without any practical benefit. Oh, no, the $10,000 in aid was sent after that incident. Was it a reward for his scolding of the United States at the UN? Modott's heart was filled with desolation.

At this time, Modott has no other options, no money, no skills, nothing, and no hope. The 60-year-old man is exhausted and has exhausted all his energy to maintain the operation of this weak country.

When he was so desperate that he even considered committing suicide after confessing to the public, Roberto, a super-rich man in South America, found him and said, "I am interested in Tuvalu. I can help you resettle refugees. I have many farms and plantations in South America, Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia."

Roberto said this on the phone, with an arrogant tone, as if this was a gift to Modotte. But Roberto did have the capital to be arrogant, and Modotte no longer had any bargaining chips. This country only had less than thirteen years left to live.

Now, how to safely transfer and protect the citizens has become his most important task!
