Chapter 388 Venus Base Activation and Fake Iron Man

In the 1960s, human footsteps set foot on the moon for the first time. It was the first time when human beings left their own footprints and civilizations on other planets far away from the earth.

Countless people are looking forward to the arrival of a new era of great navigation. It's just that what mankind needs to conquer this time is not blue waves and raging waves and ocean currents and monsoons.

Mankind will face a new challenge. What we need to face is endless darkness and boundless vastness. In the vast and dark universe, we have no beacons for navigation. Without breathable oxygen, even the light from the stars seems so luxurious in this quiet and dark universe.

The first age of great voyages ushered in the true sense of globalization. Spanish galleons were loaded with silk and porcelain purchased from China and shipped to Europe.

Then load exquisite glass and clocks from Europe, as well as spices from Central Asia, and return to China. The time spent on a round-trip journey is calculated in years.

But those pioneers rely on their own ambitions and desires, glory and ideals. Cutting through the waves time and time again, what they bring is not just simple business transactions.

On this dangerous and long road, they connected the thoughts and cultures of East and West. Market economy and science and technology, eating habits and lifestyle.

Since then, the process of human globalization has begun, and we have begun to understand that the planet we live on is far less vast than we imagined. The earth has a limit, and the sea has an end.

Human beings began to feel more and more that the world they live in is so crowded and narrow. When interests are not shared equally, when ideas diverge, and when wars begin to break out.

Countless people began to cast their eyes on the top of their heads, that dark and mysterious place. A place where no human can go. This is the stars, this is the sea!

When Armstrong left his footprints on the moon, there was a global sensation. A new era of great sailing is coming! Someone shouted like this. This time what we want to conquer is not the blue ocean but the starry sky!

How dangerous is the universe? Danger beyond all your imagination! Just sending an astronaut out of the earth and into orbit already requires gathering more than half of the power of a superpower. And that doesn't guarantee success.

But even so, the whole world is still obsessed with exploring the universe. Even if you try your best, what you do is just some theoretical research. Because everyone has seen the profound impact and major changes that the Age of Discovery has had on human society.

To give up the universe is to give up the new era of great exploration, which is a place where all people with lofty ideals will not give up easily. Are humans afraid of the sacrifices made on this long journey?

Please open your eyes and take a look at those remains that were turned into bones on the Silk Road, those camels that died in the desert. Those civilizations and cities that are only passed down and documented.

Please open your eyes and take a look at the sunken ships under the blue waves, those machines corroded by sea water. And those pirate treasures in the legendary stories.

Human civilization has never simply stopped exploring the unknown. Even if it takes life as the price! It's just that sometimes, certain things can't be done just by relying on fearless courage.

For example, to explore the universe, humans do not yet have the technology to do this. Man hasn't set foot on the moon again for sixty years since Armstrong.

And until Tony Stark's lunar development plan was announced, and then he sent Dr. Richards to the moon, mankind saw the dawn of interstellar navigation for the first time. The era of the Great Star Sea is really coming, and those who live in this era are lucky.

Because they are fortunate to be witnesses before the advent of a great era.

At the same time, people who live in this era are also unfortunate. Because they are bound to bear the various shocks brought about by this earth-shaking new era. The fittest live, the unwell die. Very cruel.

Be all scientists, all astronomers. All politicians and military strategists set their sights on the moon, the first springboard for human beings to enter the universe.

Tony Stark quietly stretched out his hand to a person that no one noticed. Or celestial bodies that don't pay attention at all. That's Venus.

"This is a special Lord of the Rings made by Master Gu Yi." Li Jie handed Tony a magic item that Gu Yi spent a long time making.

This is the second meeting of the Illuminati, and the purpose of the meeting is very simple, it is for the Lord of the Rings that Li Jie took out.

"Using this can directly open the door of space between the earth and Venus. Master Gu Yi has confirmed that there will be no strange things at the other end of the door of space." Li Jie explained the purpose of this ring. This is a space to open The props of the gate.

"How to use this thing?" Tony took the ring and looked at it curiously.

"Rely on energy. Master Ancient One carved a very complicated magic circle in it, and specially made this prop based on the energy you can provide - the Ark Reactor." Li Jie explained. Gu Yi would not participate in the Illuminati, but he still helped this group of people create a time and space gate, allowing them to set up a base on Venus as planned.

"A magical spell." Dr. Hank pushed the black-rimmed glasses and praised this special Lord of the Rings from Tony.

"So are we going to Venus now?" Captain Rogers was a little curious. He hadn't traveled to the stars yet, and none of the people here had.

Everyone is a little curious about being able to explore planets outside the earth. But Tony poured cold water on everyone. "The surface temperature of Venus is 450 degrees Celsius. I don't think it's safe for us to go to Venus before I establish a base." Tony thought very carefully.

"Since Master Ancient One does not participate in our plan, then we lack a guardian. If this magic ring breaks down during use and traps us on Venus, we will have a lot of fun! We didn't come back directly from Venus way. You know, it’s much farther than the moon.”

Everyone agrees with Tony's words, so the establishment of the space gate needs to be handed over to three outstanding scientists, Hank, Tony and Charles.

They are going to build a fixed space door, after a relatively safe space door is established. Tony will produce armor suitable for activities on Venus and provide it to everyone.

As for the money spent on the establishment of the Venus base, it is naturally provided by the rich man here, Tony Stark. You know, the little money from other people is just a drop in the bucket. This fully proves the importance of having a local tyrant within a team.

"Actually, why did we go so far? Venus!" Captain Rogers was actually a little curious about why Tony set the headquarters so far away.

"Because of someone's crazy plan." Tony glanced at Li Jie: "I need a lot of mineral resources, and these things are too easy to be discovered if they are done on the earth."

Li Jie shrugged his shoulders at Tony's statement: "After you know the Brotherhood of the Holy Shield, don't you also understand what is called alien invasion? Master Ancient One once showed me the rise and fall of countless civilizations in the universe. We just prepared it in advance. Prepare."

Charles, Rogers and others didn't know what riddle Li Jie and Tony were playing. But now that the Illuminati has been formed, the organization strictly abides by the creed of confidentiality, and some things need to be told to other members.

"Actually nothing, you all know the Brotherhood of the Holy Shield, and you also know that the alien civilization visited the earth many years ago. And they are not so friendly, not all aliens are like ET So cute." Li Jie explained to Captain Rogers and Charles.

"So Tony and I planned to build an armed force from the very beginning. Human beings have begun to march into space, and it will be a matter of time before they encounter alien civilizations. All wars are almost inevitable. So we plan to build an armed force by ourselves. A space fleet."

This is another step of Li Jie's plan for the Battle of New York. There are real interstellar warships in the blueprints of technological items sold in the system! Of course, this needs to be handed over to Tony with a suitable excuse for him to produce.

The production of this kind of super weapon will always be found as long as it is on the earth. Therefore, it would be best to set up the base and production line in Venus. Especially mining on Venus does not need to consider ecological issues, although the initial construction cost will be relatively high. But when the production line starts to turn, the overall production cost should actually be the lowest on earth.

After all, there's no one here to collect taxes or anything from you. Li Jie kept a lot of prestige in exchange for these things.

"Shouldn't this kind of thing be better left to the governments of various countries? For weapons such as star warships." Although Rogers said so, judging by his expression, he was not pursuing anything, but just wanted to know that Li Jie and Tony's thoughts.

"It's very complicated, Captain. I believe you should understand politics very well." Li Jie glanced at Rogers as he spoke, and the others saw that Captain Rogers was not such a simple person when Rogers sued the U.S. military. people.

"No matter what kind of country a weapon like Star Wars falls into the hands of, I'm afraid it will breed his ambitions. I'm afraid we will start a civil war on a large scale before we meet aliens."

"You know, there is still a lot of market for the argument that we must first secure the internal affairs. Maybe some ambitious people will use this kind of public opinion to trigger the Three Wars. Those who are too obsessed with power have never been the same as us. I'm not from the same way." Li Jie's words showed his attitude very well.

For power, people like myself lack interest. What they want is to build the ideal world in their hearts. This is fundamentally different from those politicians who struggle for power.

Having said that, everyone agrees that the construction of Venus will be officially launched from today, and the Illuminati has taken its first step as an important organization that affects the world!

Although it should be true logically, but at this exciting moment, Tony suddenly said something rather disappointing: "We still have a problem."

"What problem?" Li Jie couldn't think of any problem that needs to be solved now.

"It's about money." Tony suddenly said something that no one expected: "Wait, why are you looking at me like this? Please, don't look at me like that."

"Do you expect me to bear all the expenses of the entire Illuminati alone? And all the plans of this madman? Please! This is tens of billions of dollars, and it can't even cover the expenses! If I spend so much money, if Pepper If she finds out, she will resign!"

Hello! Your lines are wrong! Isn't Iron Man specifically responsible for taking the blame and checking out within the team? When did you get so smart that you started thinking about financial issues?

Li Jie strongly felt that he might have met a fake Iron Man!

Tomb-sweeping on Tomb-sweeping Day, I arrived home at three o'clock in the morning yesterday. I went to the mountain to sweep the tomb today, very tired. Because the codeword on the train was no less than 7,000 characters yesterday, and I didn't sleep well at the same time.

I fell asleep soundly in the afternoon and woke up to write this chapter. Tomorrow night train back. Not much to say, there should not be many authors who are constantly updating and have so many code words during the journey. I hope everyone will support it. Thank you.
