Venus, the base of the Illuminati.

In the orbit of Venus, a brand new starport is being built. Designed by Tony, Hank, and Charles, it was built by 300 Outer Space Engineering Steel Armors and Magneto.

Millions of tons of steel are transported to Venus' orbit through Magneto's capabilities. In order to prevent the sudden appearance of the starport from being observed by Earth's astronomy enthusiasts, Dr. Hank also camouflaged the entire space base.

At the same time, the construction of the first starport sky city on earth has finally begun with the promotion of all parties. However, Sky City is much smaller than expected.

Tony's original design was a real base capable of accommodating 10,000 people to work and live. In the end, the size of Sky City was reduced to accommodate only 2,000 people. And there is no way to set up an ecological circle inside this starport.

In fact, the design of the ecosphere originated from the illuminati base of Venus. It was developed by Dr. Hank and Professor Charles.

These include genetically modified fruit trees, rice and wheat, and automatic water filtration systems, as well as oxygen and fertilizer decomposition systems. The whole system relies on the power supply of Ark energy, which can reach a primary ecological cycle.

As long as the Ark Energy still has electricity, then the ecological cycle can be maintained. According to SkyCity's original design, it should be able to live and work for 10,000 people, and a single energy replenishment will keep Starport alive for ten years.

If you build your own Ark Reactor on Starport, and send a spacecraft to the moon to mine helium-3 directly from Starport, the cost will be lower than on Earth.

At its simplest, the cost of delivering a solid rocket to break through the atmosphere is prohibitively high, and it's a one-off.

If you take off and land a spaceship in a starport, you don't need to think about these things. There's no atmosphere here for you to break through, and you don't need to accelerate to the third cosmic velocity.

Tony even had the ingenuity to think of the ore that could be airdropped directly from Starport in the future, as long as it was safe and slowed down at the end. Such shipping costs will be greatly reduced.

However, various countries finally scaled back the entire Sky City plan due to various considerations. These include Tony's proposed space elevator and the plan for an artificial planetary belt around the Earth.

This huge plan is the plan after Starport Sky City. It was also brought up and discussed during an internal meeting of the Illuminati. The specific approach is to use the space elevator as the skeleton, and the space elevator stretches out to the sky. Then build a ring of buildings from these bones.

The entire ringport remains in synchronous rotation with the Earth. The earth is the central axis, the space elevator is the spoke, and the ring starport is the outer ring. This is like the tires of a bicycle.

This is a magnificent and domineering project, but in fact, Li Jie and Rogers were not very optimistic at first. Tony's plan is too domineering and a bit taken for granted. Governments are unlikely to agree to build such a thing.

The Asia-Europe Hyperloop plan alone has been pushed to the ground. If it weren't for the fact that the accession of China and Russia eased the pressure of international public opinion, Li Jie was worried that Latvia's unilateral strength alone would always cause greater contradictions.

After China and Russia joined the hyperloop, the traditional influence of these two countries was included in the direction of the railway extension. China is willing to pay 5 trillion yuan in interest-free or low-interest loans to build the mega-railway.

Of course, there are certain conditions for this loan. It's like Latvia lending Ukraine a loan in exchange for thirty years of operating the railway.

China's requirements are less stringent, but they have also been kept as collateral for fifteen to twenty years. Russia is also making efforts, but because Russia itself is not a rich country, most of the domestic funds are held by a few oligarchs.

Therefore, the strength of Russia's efforts is not large, but it also shows an attitude. Hyperspeed rail is already imperative. Captain Rogers and the entrepreneurs around him are also convincing Congress that the United States is moving forward with a high-speed rail plan. Actually, the railroads in the United States really suck. In some places, it is still a railway from the sixties of the last century.

And the demands and slogans of those entrepreneurs and financiers for the construction of super high-speed railways are very simple: "The return of manufacturing!" The United States has been shouting this slogan for almost 10 years, but with little success.

Detroit, once known as the world's motor city, has become a ghost town with high unemployment and high unemployment in the traditional manufacturing city. The entire city center is desolate and you can play a real-life version of Battle Royale.

And Detroit is just a microcosm of the entire American manufacturing industry. [Increase mobility, evenly distribute jobs!] is the slogan of super high-speed rail in the United States.

The people of the Illuminati have mobilized all their forces to push in this direction. Humanities, social sciences and financiers funded by the Horizon Foundation proposed the concept of "International Cooperation in Manufacturing 2.0".

"The company's factories have geographical limitations, and if they overcome them due to increased mobility, they will be more likely to have access to work plans. ”

In fact, companies are already trying to do this, and Osborne and Stark have signed an agreement with the Chinese government.

It just so happened that the western part of China was desolate and barren because of the perennial turmoil of the Manchurian people, and the plan for the large-scale development of the western region was imperative. And the strength and determination of the promotion are not comparable to the world where Li Jie was located in his previous life.

Stark and Osborne are willing to build a new heavy machinery processing plant in western China. Some of them recruit Chinese employees, and some employees recruit engineers and senior technicians from Eastern European countries.

In fact, the traditional heavy industry of the former Soviet Union is still very strong, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, those high-level scientists may be poached by other countries. But generally good engineers and senior mechanics will not. After the factory went bankrupt, many people lost their jobs or went to work in small factories.

This part of the population has a technical level, especially in Ukraine. Now the economic situation in Ukraine as a whole is in turmoil, and even traditional large enterprises are on the verge of bankruptcy. Engineers are also paid very little, and working in China can pay a lot more.

And the main reason why many people have never wanted to go abroad to earn a living is that they don't want to live abroad in essence. And the super-high-speed rail thing is going to change all that.

The two groups have signed an agreement with the Chinese government to simplify the entry and exit procedures for these foreign employees. This allows them to spend 20 minutes on Saturday and Sunday to take the hyperloop home after five days in China. That way you won't have that loneliness of working abroad.

This has made many people willing to try to work abroad. And on the other side. Other businessmen, including China and Russia, also see a huge opportunity.

As the average wage of Chinese workers has risen year after year, China's manufacturing jobs are also shrinking. Some businessmen smell the business opportunities, and a large number of jobs flow to South Asian countries, but the average level of education in these countries is not as good as that of China, and there is also a gap in technology.

So after the super high-speed railway peers, will it be able to make a super-large technical outsourcing team to solve the technical problems faced by these countries?

These businessmen are also planning for all this. In an era of global upheaval, no country can monopolize all the benefits. There are gains and losses, and we only see how to measure the losses.

And, of course, the strangulation of the Hydra industry, which the Illuminati is now promoting, has begun to take place. As long as the time is up, it is not difficult to catch them all.

And now, Li Jie is inviting the other two members of the Illuminati to come over. He has important things to say.

"As for closing the door?" Tony asked as he walked into the conference room and watched Li Jie close the door and put the dongle on.

Rogers just shrugged, "Maybe there's something important to announce? Are you getting married?"

Li Jie pouted: "It's good to get married." Speaking of which, Tony, you're going to have to find a way to get another ring back for me. ”

"I said, I can't do it!" Tony said without shame, "It's harder to remove the ring from Pepper's hand than it is to ascend to the sky." You'd better wait. ”

"What's wrong with your eyes? Looks like you have serious dark circles?" Rogers noticed that Li Jie's eye circles were a little dark.

Li Jie waved his hand: "It's just that I don't sleep well, Alaska and Satsuma at home are just screaming every night." ”

Tony raised his eyebrows: "I haven't heard you have a pet dog?"

"That's not the point, I'm not here to talk about it today. Li Jie took a deep breath and looked at Captain Rogers and said, "The captain has a message I need to tell, and you can't be too excited after hearing this news." ”

Rogers smiled, he sat down in his chair and grabbed the armrest very cooperatively, "Come on, I'm going to be safe now." ”

Li Jie looked Captain Rogers in the eye and said, "I found Barne Barkis. He's not dead yet. ”

Li Jie saw a calm in Captain Rogers' eyes, and his blue eyes were as calm as a lake. Li Jie was a little surprised, could it be that the captain didn't care about his good friend at all?

Just when Li Jie was confused, Captain Rogers asked even more confusedly, "Who is Barn Barkis, and do I know him?"
