In the first half of the new year, Tony, who has had the shrapnel in his chest removed and completely healed the masterpiece of Dr. Ethan in his chest, has started a new honeymoon with Pepper.

And the single dog Oaks has entered a state of continuous technology research and development.

With Dr. Maya Hansen, a leading expert in DNA biocoding, Oaktree Environmental Technology has conducted further research on a number of specially modified plants, with plans to enhance more of the special plants that Oaks had previously developed.

Landscape aquatic plants with integrated water organic matter purification and air purification, landscape trees with integrated air purification and soil organic matter purification, ultra-high-speed organic matter degradation moss, and super strong sand-fixing and drought-tolerant shrubs.

These four special plants are the first batch of enhancement targets in the next step-

In addition to strengthening the seeds and young plants, we will also develop an evolution liquid that allows the magic plants that have been planted before to evolve in the later stage.

With the natural magic of Oaks escorting, everyone's research progress is very smooth, and the breeding scale can be expanded in the second half of the year.

The renovation of the Ark "Guardian of Nature" was also completed at about the same time as the Avengers Building, and the headquarters of the Benevolence Association and Oaktree Environmental Technology have been relocated to the air base.

The Nature Guardian hovered in the stratosphere above the high seas of the Pacific Ocean as planned, above the clouds, remaining invisible.

The well-established Astral Energy-Ark Reactor composite energy system makes it completely self-sufficient in all its energy consumption.

The ecological technology that Rendekai is best at has formed a small closed ecosystem on the ark, and even the slightest trace of domestic garbage and waste water will not be discharged.

The "Sunhound" Demuscul is stationed on the Guardian of Nature as a permanent guard, and the "Moon Hound" Husky Harty is stationed in the Rainforest to guard the portal.

As a pet and LOGO, Goo has moved to the Nature Guardian and entered a new small ecosystem.

Moco and Coco stayed in the small rainforest, taking turns part-time as the bodyguard of Zhang, the secretary general of the Rende Association, on the one hand, and managing the small animals in the small rainforest on the other.

Spring is blooming, and everything is recovering.

In the United States, Arbor Day is a state holiday, but it is mostly concentrated between April and May every year.

During this time, Oakes was very busy.

Thanks to the outstanding contribution of the Society, the nation's vegetation area has increased by 20% in the past few years compared to the government's planned growth rate, which is an extremely staggering figure and is still growing rapidly.

After the Battle of New York, the rate almost doubled—

This is inseparable from the growing influence of the Rende Society.

Even Steve's inspirational endorsement will add the sentence "Protecting the environment, starting with me" at the end...... and so on.

As co-leader of two organizations that have won the UN Environment Agency's Champions of the Earth Award, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Oakes himself has received as many invitations to speak as Captain America.

Of course, this is public service publicity, not endorsement.

Even the International Fund for Animal Welfare and the International Red Cross invited Oakes to give a lecture and awarded him a Medal of Honor for his outstanding contribution to the rescue and protection of marine life during the Roxon oil tanker incident and the protection of citizens during the Great War in New York.

Before the Great War in New York, the Society of Benevolence cooperated with several universities in New York, and achieved remarkable results.

Columbia University and Cornell University, which were the first to join the program, have gained tremendous exposure, social reputation, and academic results.

After the Battle of New York, the identity of the Avengers of Oakes became known to society, which highlighted this increase in popularity.

Therefore, this spring, the Association has further expanded the scope of school cooperation and environmental protection promotion to secondary schools.

The decision was welcomed by New York's high schools, and the partners in the first phase of the pilot will select a middle school and a high school from each of the five districts of New York.

So in addition to Brooklyn, where the headquarters of the Rende Society is located, Oakes has been traveling back and forth between the Bronx, Manhattan and Staten Island these days.

The last stop is Queens, next door to Brooklyn, at the Queens Botanic Garden.

“…… Therefore, the achievement of green, the achievement of the future.

You are the future of mankind, may you use your own hands to create a green and beautiful tomorrow! ”

"Wow-"

At the end of the speech, to the applause that broke the roof, Oakes smiled and bowed to the children and walked off the podium.

Zhang and Blaise continue the publicity project below, while Oakes returns backstage, opening the portal and preparing to go back.

“……”

Then he saw a curious little face staring at him as he prepared to step through the portal.

"What's that? Wow that looks so cool! Is it a hologram? Like Iron Man? Or a portal? Is it the same as the one above Stark Tower? Will aliens come over? Or are you actually an alien, Mr. President? ”

“…… Stop, stop! ”

Oakes had to raise his hand in surrender, and the little guy's little mouth was as hard to resist as a machine gun:

"Who are you? How did it end up here? What about your teacher? ”

Oakes looked suspiciously at the little brown-haired boy in front of him, this little guy ...... Not a middle school student yet, right?

"You're still in elementary school?"

"I'll be in middle school in the fall!"

The little boy jumped over, grinning, his eyes still glancing at the portal:

"And it's this middle school, so I heard that the superhero Avenger Dr. Lin was coming here to give a speech, so I came to see it!"

"My name is Peter Parker, President Oakes, you saved me when I was ten years old, outside the Stark Industries venue, wow, I have to say it's so cool that you tied up that robot with a wave of your hand!"

“……”

Oakes felt his brain hurt.

Who? Peter parker? Good neighbor pajama baby?

"You're the kid with the Iron Man mask? Tony's secondary 2 fan? ”

"Uh...... I was wearing the Iron Man mask at the time, and I was a fan of Mr. Stark, but the second ......"

Peter "this" for a long time, but still gave up:

"Okay, I was really a second-year student at the time, but Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei both said it was cute."

But before Oakes could speak, the kid's little mouth began to bulge again:

"President Oakes, where does that door lead? Were you just going to go over? Can I go over and have a look? ”

“……”

Oakes felt a little toothache and came over to give a speech and picked up a small spider, this ......

"You came on your own? Did you tell your family? ”

He looked outside:

"And this is the backstage, it shouldn't be the scope of the visit!"

"Well, I told Aunt May that I was going to come to the Botanical Garden to see a talk, but I came in backstage by myself."

Peter gestured with his two hands:

"I'm a good hide-and-seek, and there are no guards here!"

Oakes touched his chin, it was true that there were no guards here, only the staff who maintained order, but they probably couldn't tell the difference between a child who was already in middle school and a child who was about to enter middle school......

"Okay, you can come and have a visit, but call your family."

Oakes thought about it, but pointed to the portal:

"Let's go, this is the new headquarters of the Rendekai."
