Tony Stark's words were indeed a bit surprising, because almost by default, everyone took him as a funder of the organization. After all www.biquge.info the Illuminati could have been established under his call!

"Please! You can't look at me like that. The Venus Base program alone could cost me billions of dollars. Not to mention the follow-up overhead. Before, because of the problem of new energy, Peibo and I were already very unhappy. Tony patted his head as he spoke.

"If I had spent such a large sum of money without her consent, and I couldn't explain where it went, she would have quit her job. She's important to me!"

Okay, Tony, is this a confession to Pemper? But it's a pity that the heroine isn't here. He really took Peppard very seriously.

Captain Rodgers patted him on the shoulder when he heard Tony's words, and said seriously: "It makes sense, this money really shouldn't be paid by you alone." My annual salary at S.H.I.E.L.D. is about $400,000, and I can donate it all except for living expenses. And the copyright I signed with a comic company recently, if there is a royalty income, I can also take it out. ”

Well, Captain Rodgers instantly became tall. But it's clear that the money isn't enough to cover the cost of the program. So Tony shook his head: "Captain, unless you can end the legal case with the military and let them compensate you for your losses over the years, it is estimated that it will be more than 30 billion." If only we had the money, we would have enough. ”

"But as I have already stated, whether I win the case or not, the money will go to charity. "It looks like Captain Rogers really has no intention of paying the military reparations.

"If the Venus base is activated, the minerals should be self-sufficient. There is even a certain amount of wealth, which should be able to fill this area in the later stage. If necessary, we can even extract the core of Venus and extract gold from the core?" Li Jie thought of his own way, and Tony agreed with what Li Jie said.

"Yes, you're right. This was true when the Venus base was officially fully launched. But that was after that, and if a large amount of Venus minerals hit the earth, the earth's resource industry would be broken, and I am afraid that millions of people would lose their jobs. That's not what we want to see. So the minerals of Venus can only be used for our own purposes to a large extent, and cannot be exchanged as resources on Earth. Tony rejected that idea as well.

"While it is true that Venus's plans are self-sufficient in the later stages, but before they are self-sufficient. We still need a lot of upfront investment. This amount of money is astronomical, compared to what you all know. ”

Li Jie looked at Tony a little depressed, where did the originally bold local tyrant Iron Man go? Why is he picking so hard now for the sake of "merely" tens of billions of dollars.

Tens of billions of dollars are also called "meagrely", probably someone is not very sensitive to money.

"Are you going to join some other rich superheroes, like the night owls in the comics, to participate in the Illuminati?"

Otherwise, there is really no way to solve this problem. Li Jie glanced at Charles as he spoke, and it seemed that the professor was also a rich man. This can be seen from the fact that Xavier School for the Gifted and Talented was actually remodeled from his ancestral home.

"Of course not. Tony waved his hand and denied Li Jie's conjecture: "I don't have a good candidate who can directly pay to help us solve the current predicament." You know, we can't leak what we're going to do. I can't just pull a person in until I've determined their true character. ”

Li Jie was thinking about whether to bring Harry in, but in the end, hearing Tony say this, he dismissed his thoughts. At the same time, if you think about it, it doesn't really make it appropriate for Harry to come in.

After all, Osborne is also a group of companies, not Harry's Yiyantang. The massive flow of money is likely to trap Harry. So just think about it.

And Captain Rogers, who was silently watching all this, sighed in his heart, why is the scene so familiar now? Everyone is bothered by such a sum of money.

Now that I have joined the Illuminati, there is still a world-class rich man here, but he will still be troubled by financial matters. Captain Rogers understood in an instant what it meant to stump a hero with a penny.

Charles and Hank were left without comment. Everyone looked at them for what they had to say.

Hank pushed his black-rimmed glasses and said, "Actually, Charles was a very wealthy man before, and their family has accumulated a wealth for him for hundreds of years!"

Oh oh oh! Here it is! Sure enough, this big bald head who is quiet is the real invisible rich man! Li Jie suddenly became interested.

"But. Hank pushed his black-rimmed glasses again, "Over the years, Charles has spent almost all of his savings in order to maintain the expenses of the mutant school. A mutant school is more or less a welfare school. Even if the students couldn't afford to pay the tuition, Charles would bring them in. ”

After a long time, Charles is also a poor bastard now, and the rest of the room was a little disappointed. Everyone thought that Charles would be able to come up with a huge fortune.

"Yes, this school has spent almost all of my savings over the years. For the past two years, I have relied on Hank and I to sell our patents to get the money to sustain our studies. Charles also said helplessly.

"Patents, what patents?" Tony was intrigued as soon as he heard about the patents, he knew about Hank and Charles's scientific research capabilities. In the sixties, the first generation of stealth positions could be created, and this kind of technology bull technology patents may be able to help everyone with the current predicament.

"It's mainly some civilian technology. For example, some added fluids allow the internal combustion engine to achieve a fuller combustion effect. And some new architectures for miniature circuit boards and things like that. Hank's words instantly deterred Tony.

These patents do make money, but at the same time they can be easily circumvented. If you license it at a low price, you really can't make much money. Actually, it's right to think about it.

Charles's mutant school has always been a place of concern for the U.S. government. If you really had to come up with some black technology of weapons of mass destruction, or something of the same type, the U.S. government would have exploded a long time ago.

Hank didn't seem to notice Tony's expression and continued, "When the Osborne Group released their limb regenerative medicine plan, I also had some thoughts, because Wolverine has super self-healing abilities. I tried extracting the X gene from his body to make a medicine that would heal the wound quickly. Although it is unlikely that a limb will regenerate, it will have the ability to recover instantly from a large number of traumatic injuries!"

Hank's words instantly attracted everyone's attention, if Hank's experiment was really successful, and if there really was a medicine that could quickly heal the trauma, it would be a great invention.

When you think about the fatal wounds, it's not uncommon for the injured to die from hemorrhage on the way to the hospital. If this drug really exists, it will completely change the status quo of trauma medicine!

"So what the result is, doctor. Li Jie was curious about Hank's final research results. Actually, everyone is curious.

"Well, that's only half the battle. Hank shook his head as he said this. "Rapid trauma healing agents have side effects. Like the Osborne Group's limb regeneration program, it relies on dividing cells to restore wounds. We know that human cells have a limit to the number of times they can divide. A large amount of cell division can reduce a person's lifespan. ”

"And the limb regeneration program also has a combination of injections that can repair cells. I can't get everything in one emergency kit with this potion. Hank said and shook his head.

"So unless someone is physically strong enough to be like Captain Rogers, it is dangerous for ordinary people to use this quick healing potion, and it is very likely that they will die directly. "Well, it's not clear whether to kill or to save people.

"I tried to reduce the proportion of some of the potions, trying to make the potions milder, and when I got rid of the terrible side effects, the whole drug was almost gone. ”

"So how many doctors are still in medicinal properties? If the efficacy exceeds that of Yunnan Baiyao, then it is actually a very useful and commercially valuable drug. Li Jie thought that as long as this medicine still had a little medicinal properties, even if it was not so strong, it would be able to make some money and help the organization make some money.

"Uh~" Hank looked a little embarrassed: "Actually, after eliminating all the side effects, the efficacy of this drug is already very poor." In fact, it can't heal the wound anymore. ”

Hearing Hank say this, Li Jie and the others were a little disappointed, maybe Hank didn't want to make himself look incompetent, as if he hadn't done anything. So he quickly continued: "Actually, there are still some uses, such as being able to quickly regrow damaged hair." I believe that if we continue to research, we will be able to make a breakthrough. ”

Tony listened to Hank's words with some disappointment, but he didn't show it, "Okay, Doctor. We can do this research together, although I am not very good in the field of biology......" Tony's words were not finished when Li Jie suddenly interrupted him.

"Wait!" Li Jie touched his chin and suddenly said, "Doctor, what do you just say you have left for your medicinal effect?"

"All that's left is rapid hair growth. What?" said Dr. Hank, looking at Li Jie a little strangely.

Li Jie slapped his face suddenly, and looked very excited. Everyone else looked at him with some puzzlement, is there anything to be happy about?

Li Jie recovered after a while, and suddenly understood when he looked at the puzzled eyes of the other four people. Yes, these four people may be in a position too high, so high that some of them don't pay much attention to the lives of ordinary people, maybe some things are actually their blind spots, so they don't think of what they think!

Thinking of this, Li Jie couldn't help but laugh, and he cleared his throat: "Everyone, everyone." Listen to me!" Li Jie attracted everyone's attention.

"Do you know how much food the United Nations and other countries around the world are worth in a year?" said Li Jie, as if he had suddenly said something completely unrelated.

"It's about 15 billion dollars, if you say pure food, not other material support. "It was Tony Stark who answered Lee's question. He raised Yang's eyebrows, and he didn't quite understand what Li Jie was suddenly talking about this for.

"So do you know how much money those people spend on treating hair loss in a year all over the world?" Li Jie said with a smile: "More than 20 billion dollars!"

"The pursuit of beauty in this world is endless! In the age of discovery, the noblewoman of Paris invented a kind of shapewear that can be called a torture instrument in order to obtain a slender waist!" Li Jie said energetically.

"A bottle of SK2 cosmetics can be sold for hundreds or even thousands of dollars, but how much does it cost? These profiteering products bring huge profits of tens of billions of dollars to their country every year!" Li Jie said seriously with a finger raised. And the others already roughly understood what Li Jie wanted to express.

"And hair loss, especially for middle-aged men, is a worldwide problem! So far, there is no better way than wigs and hair transplants. You have to believe how desperate those middle-aged balding people are!"

"Tony Stark, do you dare to imagine what you'll look like after you start losing your hair in five years?" Tony thought about Li Jie's description, and suddenly felt that if there really was such a body, then it would be the end of the world! He was willing to spend billions of dollars to get his hair back!

"Captain Rogers, if you suddenly start to lose your head, can you still stand in front of the world with a smile on your face, showing off your beautiful blue eyes and smooth head?" Rogers subconsciously touched his head, if there really was a day, he should probably wear a hood or a baseball cap all the time.

"For some people, losing their hair is equivalent to losing the whole world!" Li Jie said, but he suddenly found Professor X in front of him. The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward. "Ahhh~ Professor, I'm not talking about you. ”

Professor Charles winked at Li Jie and said, "Actually, you are not wrong, when my last hair left me, I felt that the whole world had abandoned me! ”

Charles's joke was a good relief from the awkward atmosphere just now. Li Jie also smiled, and he said to Dr. Hank, "So Dr. Hank, your research has not actually failed!

"Let's do some research! Find a medicine that is really suitable for controlling hair regrowth! You know, for many people in this world, saving baldness is more important than saving the world!" Li Jie patted Dr. Hank on the shoulder.

Well, now the organization's funding is settled!

Well, the Illuminati is not only trying to save the planet, but also a group of middle-aged men. Li Jie suddenly felt that he and others were really meritorious.

Saving the world is just as important as saving hair loss!
