Chapter 432 A Small Gift
When Tony built the Venus base, he had already conducted a considerable survey of the surrounding area. A detailed investigation was carried out within a radius of 50 kilometers through various address equipment. It was determined that the surrounding geology was suitable for establishing this base.
Assisting him in this is Dr. Hank the Beast. After all, Tony also has a lot of things to do on Earth, he can't hide on Venus without showing his face every day, if he doesn't show up often, I'm afraid Pepper will go crazy looking for him everywhere.
So besides Tony in the Venus base, Hank is the one who has put in the most effort. This is also impossible. Because Professor Charles has inconvenient legs and feet, and Li Jie and Captain Rogers are almost illiterate in front of Tony and Hank's various scientific data.
So professional things can only be handed over to professional people.
There are many mining areas within a radius of 50 kilometers, which is the main reason why Tony and Hank chose the base here.
The first is that we can’t always rely on the earth to transport raw materials in the future. Not only will this consume a lot of money, but it will also be eye-catching after a long time.
The second is because Li Jie's follow-up plan requires a lot of various materials. If these materials are fully prepared on the earth, it is estimated that the ecology of the entire earth will be destroyed.
For Li Jie and Tony, the earth is an irreplaceable and important planet, and it is not advisable to destroy the region. They can only directly transform Venus into a large mine and construction base.
As for building most of the buildings underground, it is because Venus will rain acid rain from time to time, and this acid rain is very corrosive. If too many buildings are built on the surface, various preparatory procedures need to be done to prevent acid rain from damaging the base.
And that would be a very huge expense. Before Suguang Company could make huge profits, all the current funds came from Tony's private pocket. Tony can't be under such a big financial pressure all the time.
The entire Venus base was designed by Tony and Hank, but there are actually not many surface buildings. There are only a few unremarkable small houses.
Through these small houses that have undergone special anti-corrosion treatment, you will come to a semi-underground open activity floor. Here will be the prep layer for the entire base. There is currently a large amount of construction material stacked here. After the entire base is built in the future, it will be used as an entrance and apron.
The second floor is the most well-built place at present. It is mainly used as a meeting, living and leisure area for members of the Illuminati. With Tony's character, he is even planning to build a swimming pool and a garden that relies on artificial light to adjust the atmosphere here, so as not to feel lifeless in Venus.
The third layer begins with the equipment layer, which provides the life support system and energy supply system of the entire base. And there is also a backup database of intelligent AI Jarvis.
In this way, Jarvis can help the members of the Illuminati handle various complex calculations and data flows on Venus. Even Li Jie and Captain Rogers, who are not very familiar with some complicated sciences, can instantly master and learn various facilities in this high-tech base through Jarvis.
The fourth floor that continues down is an intelligent manufacturing factory. There is also a similar factory in Tony's home, which is used to make steel armor.
He was able to create a huge steel army in a short period of time entirely by this fully automatic factory work. He only needs to input the corresponding command parameters and some key data, and Jarvis will manage the entire factory fully automatically.
Relying on the mechanical arm and various other intelligent robots to help Tony manufacture various high-tech equipment in a short period of time.
The smart manufacturing plant in the Venus base is much larger than Tony's manufacturing plant under the Los Angeles villa, because some incredible large equipment will be built here in the future. It's not as simple as a few steel armors.
The fourth floor is still in the construction stage. Except for the infrastructure, others are still working overtime. Once this factory is completed, it will help produce other steel engineering mechs as soon as possible.
However, considering that the remaining mechs do not need to work on the surface of Venus, the design standards can be lowered appropriately. This will ease the pressure on capital and raw materials.
In addition to the Venus base that is currently under construction, another more important place on Venus is the mine on Venus.
It can be said that this is the most important reason why Tony and Li Jie chose to build bases on planets other than Earth. They need huge deposits!
Except for some mineral deposits that have been proven within a radius of 50 kilometers and have already begun to be mined. Tony also manufactured a large number of neutral molecular detectors, allowing these small things to start scanning the surface of Venus one by one.
If Tony did this on Earth, he would probably be arrested by the governments of various countries. Because the devil knows what shady things the governments of various countries have hidden in their underground.
On Venus, there is no such concern. Tony can use the neutron detector to scan where the mining area of Venus is. Mining on Venus can be simpler and rougher, because there is no need to consider ecological environment issues, and there is no need to pay taxes to the government.
Just be careful not to disrupt Venus' bottom crust and the cracked zones in its mantle.
Tony walked with Li Jie, Rogers and Professor Charles and introduced the situation of the Venus base. As for Hank, there is no need for Tony to introduce the situation, after all, he is an important participant.
"It can be said that in the event of an alien invasion, the Venus base will become the second insurance for human beings. We can even be more arrogant and say that this will be the most important strategic base for human beings in the face of alien crises!" Tony led everyone to the conference room of the Venus base.
The layout of the meeting room is similar to the common meeting rooms on the earth, and there is not much difference. It seems that this is designed to meet everyone's usage habits.
Everyone sat down at the circular conference table. Tony continued to explain the Venus base: "We will set up the initial armament here. Various weapons that may be installed."
"Doesn't the government really need to say hello?" Captain Rogers said with some hesitation, with his arms folded. After all, what the Illuminati has to do now is to form its own armed force outside the earth.
"One person is very smart, but a group of people are stupid." Li Jie replaced Tony and said to Captain Rogers: "Captain, I believe you have not forgotten the panic caused by the radio drama "War of the Worlds" in 1938. (Note)"
"And isn't the big reason why we gathered here is because we don't trust politicians? We are afraid that they will use various methods to turn things that should be important into things that are for their own benefit. This kind of thing, Captain, you should I've seen it over and over again."
Rogers has indeed met many times, so he did not object in the end. I just mentioned that the government just said something out of habit.
The five-member group of the Illuminati briefly reviewed the construction progress of the Venus base, and determined that the Illuminati will lead human beings and fight against various alien invasions as the main goal.
The short trip to Venus that the Illuminati will bring to everyone is over. When Tony sent everyone back one by one, Li Jie deliberately stayed at the end. He has something to say to Tony.
And Tony also cooperated with Li Jie tacitly, until after sending the last person away. Tony turned his head and looked at Li Jie: "What crazy plan do you want to talk about?"
Li Jie said with a smile: "This time it's not some crazy plan, but a small gift for you." Li Jie took out a large stack of mobile hard drives from the space belt. Both have 2TB of memory space.
Tony looked at the pile of hard drives that Li Jie took out and raised his brows: "What are these? Do you want to tell me that you know that I have been strictly controlled by Peibo recently, so you gave me more than ten tons of seeds?"
"No! Where are you thinking? I have no interest in your private life at all." Li Jie waved his hand: "This is a real gift, for you, and for all of us on Earth. This is A must-have for us to travel the stars and seas!"
Li Jie's expression was very serious, and he said each word with a pause: "Because this is the blueprint for the construction of the entire Star Fleet!"
Note: In 1938, CBS broadcast the science fiction novel "War of the Worlds", because of the problem of the frequency band, it jumped into the news broadcast frequency band at that time. Listeners listening to news broadcasts across America heard the following news: Aliens have taken Washington, and they're heading to the East Coast!
It was a news segment in a fictional story, but it was accepted by radio listeners across the United States as real news. So countless Americans rushed out of their homes and headed for the West Coast with everything they could take away. They were fleeing the East Coast.
It is also one of the most famous fake news incidents in history.
