Chapter 347: The Responsibility of Creating an Era
For Li Jie, this trip to Asia has long been the right thing to do. He had already made such plans and decided to do these things. Because when creating a new era, Li Jie and other bigwigs of the Illuminati Society already knew very well that the change of the times would inevitably make many people at a loss.
It is even said that it cannot keep up with the times and is eliminated. But being eliminated is not the most terrible thing, what is terrible is where should those people go after being eliminated? Although it is said that all things evolve by nature, and the fittest survives. If they are politicians or simple capitalists, they don't care about the struggles of the people at the bottom.
Because many people believe in the so-called market regulation, they believe that those who are eliminated must be eliminated. For many capitalists, they have ushered in a new era of certain industries, and they do not care about the people and things of the previous era. Not to mention industrial upgrading for these people.
All they do is make more money in the market. What they need is accountable to the shareholders, not to the industrial workers.
"But that's not what we're going to do. Backstage, Li Jie untied his tie that was a little too tight with Lan's help: "I once said that I want to change the world. Although today when I say this, the reporters in the audience are laughing. ”
"That's because they don't know your greatness. Lan caressed Li Jie's face with both hands and gave him a kiss: "You can never expect those birds to understand the ambition of the bird." ”
"I don't expect them to understand. If only they could get the word out about what I'm saying today. I thought many years ago that I was going to change the world. That should have been my dream when I was very young. There were no heroes who were active in the front of the stage in that era. All heroic figures are just living in fantasy works. Li Jie unbuttoned his suit vest and sat directly on the sofa.
The childhood he remembers now does not refer to the childhood of this world, but the childhood of his previous life.
"The heroes live only on TV, and the bad guys live in reality. When I was a kid, I loved watching a lot of news and watching all kinds of anime. Look at the poor children in the news who can't afford to eat, look at the black-hearted factories and enterprises that harm people's lives, and those who do all kinds of illegal crimes and even kill people for petty profits. There are also various families that have been torn apart by drugs and gambling. Heh," Li Jie said with a nonchalant smile, then shook his head.
"I was thinking about why the heroes in the cartoon didn't come out to save these people, why didn't they destroy the black factories, destroy the drug cartels, stop the crime from happening and save others? There weren't that many heroes in the world. ”
"Then I got bigger and learned more things. Let go of those childhood fantasies and become mature. I started to get into accidents, children only argue about right and wrong, and adults only talk about profit. One day I suddenly found out that I had grown up. I began to care less about right and wrong, only about profit. ”
Li Jie leaned back on the sofa, his eyes looking at the ceiling a little distracted. Lan felt that Li Jie seemed to be in a bad state, so she sat next to Li Jie and wrapped her arms around him. Listen to his heartbeat with your ear to his chest. Arashi whispered, "But you haven't become that accidental, have you?"
"yes, when I started to gain power, my world started to change. With power, I gain the right to choose. I can choose to continue to live as an adult and do what everyone in society feels is right. I'm sure I'll be successful that way. ”
Hearing Li Jie say this, Lan put her chin on Li Jie's chest, and she raised her head to look up at Li Jie, her eyes blinking.
"Maybe someone wants to grow up all the time. But I woke up suddenly. Why should I continue to grow up? I want to go back in time, back to the time when I was the most headstrong and yet the most true me. I refuse to grow up, I want to be willful for once. Be a person who only distinguishes between right and wrong. Everyone has their own dreams, dreams and aspirations that they first set when they were youngest. Whether it's becoming a scientist or the richest man in the world, or becoming a superhero. ”
"Now that I have the ability, I have to choose to stick to my original dream. I want to be a superhero, many people only remember that being poor is good for themselves, but they forget that being good is good for the world. People always have to do something in this life that they have no regrets. Some people drive a flat boat around the world, some climb the highest peak in the world, and some people lose an arm and still have to play the violin. There are people who do not participate in the Dakar Rally and the Isle of Man TT at their own expense, even if they spend all their money for it. There are always so many crazy people in this world, so many incomprehensible people. I used to be able to applaud them only as an audience. Now I can be a part of it, so I want to do better, I want to be the one who changes the world!"
Lan lay on Li Jie's chest, she stared at him, and said softly and forcefully, "You did it today." ”
Li Jie took Lan's hand and smiled: "No, this is just the beginning." ”

Chen Xiang really didn't know why such a big man came to this small poor county in his hometown. The CEO of the Marvel Group, this should be considered a big shot. When I was in Jinan, I went to watch Marvel movies with my classmates, and I also watched the Marvel comics they bought. Those superheroes are all owned by Marvel, so are those superheroes working for this person named Li Jie?
If that's really the case, this rich man named Li Jie is really a very powerful big man!
And he came to the county today to cut the ribbon for a school, as if this school was invested and established by their foundation. It's no wonder that my small county town has not seen so many earth-shaking changes in a year, it turns out that there are big people who have invested here.
Chen Xiang had two days left on vacation, and he took his parents and cousin Chen Tie to join in the fun, and went to see what this big man was going to say and do in the county square.
However, there were really too many people in the county square, so many that Chen Xiang could only look at the rostrum where Li Jie was from a far, far away. Fortunately, there was a big screen on the scene where people could see what he looked like.
"He's so young. Chen Tie looked at Li Jie, who was only in his early twenties on the big screen, and couldn't help but admire: "I thought this kind of big businessman was an old man." ”
For Chen Tie's admiration, Chen Xiang agreed. Because he also thinks Li Jie is very young. When they arrived, it was already halfway through the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and the big names on stage were giving speeches. Talking about a lot of things that have nothing to do with them, what a new world, a new opportunity, a cosmic age, or something.
Chen Xiang and the others just came to see the excitement, and they didn't think that everything this big man said had anything to do with himself and others. However, at the end of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the big man Li Jie said on stage: "Seventy kilometers away, China's Ark rocket launch site has been built. In the future, this county will become an important transit point. ”
"Here, our three foundations have joined forces with Stark Group to launch a new training program here. The training center will focus on training technicians in the universe. In fact, going to the universe is no longer unattainable and inaccessible to ordinary people. The earth has entered the cosmic age, and the construction of Starport Sky City has completed the first and second phases of the project. And there is a lot of work on the moon that also needs a lot of working mechanics. ”
"These industrial workers don't need to be as highly educated as traditional astronauts. As long as you learn the relevant technology, anyone can have the opportunity to board a spaceship and go into space. In the Star Harbor, work on the Moon. Maybe it's hard work, but it's going to be an opportunity. Every step you take will change the planet and your own lives and those of your families!"
"Here, I announce the official opening of the Explorer Space Skills Training Center! We will recruit any student under the age of 30 with a junior high school degree or higher from the whole society. There's a chance for everyone!"
Chen Xiang looked at what Li Jie said on the big screen, and he shook his head in his heart. He thought to himself: how is it possible, to go to space and become an astronaut. What happened to ordinary people? Chen Xiang didn't take Li Jie's words seriously, and many people at the scene didn't take Li Jie's words seriously. Especially in this small county, many people don't know what space and astronauts do. Even the older generation still thinks that how to go to the moon? Isn't the moon where Chang'e lives?
However, one day after the departure of the big man Li Jie, the people of Chen Xiang and his county witnessed the wonders they had seen in their lives.
A fireball rose seventy kilometers away, and even though it was seventy kilometers away, the brilliance emitted by that fireball was still as bright as the morning sun. The people in the small county town were shocked. Almost everyone came out to see the spectacle.
"This, this is the sun?!"
"Mom, it's the stars on the earth that have gone up to the sky!"
"What nonsense, it was the first launch of the Ark spacecraft from the Ark spacecraft launch site seventy kilometers away. The person who said this was the mecha operator who used to eat hot and sour noodles at Chen Xiang's house.
Chen Xiang also came out to see the spectacular scene, although he had seen the video of the rocket launch on the Internet and on television. But a thousand videos are not as good as a live viewing. The scorching fire was like a great sun rising. A child beside Chen Xiang pulled his mother and asked, "Mom, what is this?!"
"It's a spacecraft launch. "Mom seems to be relatively clear.
"What is a spaceship?"
"It's a kind of spaceship that sends people into space. The one who drives the spaceship is called an astronaut. ”
"Do you fly higher than an airplane?"
"yes!"
"How much higher?"
"This ......" the mother was running out of words, and she didn't know how to answer such a question.
But fortunately, the child did not continue to dwell on this issue, he just said in an envious voice: "I will not be a plane pilot in the future, will I be an astronaut in the future, Mom?"
"Good, good. The mother doted on her child.
Chen Xiang looked at the mother and son in front of him, and then at the ark spaceship like a star on the ground.
"Chen Xiang. Chen Tie didn't know when he stood next to Chen Xiang.
"Brother Tie. Chen Xiang called him. But Chen Tie didn't seem to notice, he just stared blankly at the spaceship that was constantly climbing in height, and an unknown flame flashed in his eyes: "Xiangzi, discuss something with you." ”
"You say. ”
"Can I take a break from the 30,000 dollars I owe to your family? ”
"Of course you say that!"
"That's good. Chen Tie smiled: "Wait for me for a few years, wait for me to graduate and work." I'll give you back twice as much!"
"What do you want to do, brother?" Chen Xiang didn't understand.
Chen Tie pointed to the rising fire: "I signed up, I will go to space in the future! I want to go to the moon!"

The envoys of the Nova Legion are getting closer. Li Jie also had to let go of everything he was doing. The bigwigs of the Illuminati gathered.
"It's finally come to this. Tony's tone was indistinct from excitement or an inexplicable pressure.
"yes, that's it. Whatever we thought before, but today we did it. Li Jie responded with a smile.
"I suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Enter the cosmic age, whew~!" Captain Rogers couldn't help but gasp.
"Don't stress Captain. We are just at the right time, standing on the cusp of the storm to push us forward. Now that the time has come, let us welcome them. The reason why we are gathered here today is because we want to escort this era. The old era has come to an end, and the new era has ushered in the beginning. Now that we've met, let's just let it go!"
Li Jie stood up and looked around at his companions, he smiled, laughing unusually happily and happily: "We have changed the world, then we have the obligation to make it better." Guard it, build it. Since this responsibility is on our shoulders today, we cannot escape it. Gentlemen, work hard to usher in a new era!"
