“Then I want another space station.”

He plans to build the Tiangong Society’s space station.

Norman: “Arrange!”

Bant: “The materials for the space station need to be of the highest specification, so I want vibranium.”

Norman: “Arrange!”

Bant: “I also want mining rights in Antarctica.”

Norman: “Arrange!”

Tony: “Stop, stop, stop! I seriously suspect that you are abusing your power for personal gain! What does the space station have to do with the energy barrier? What does it have to do with the mining rights in Antarctica?”

Hill sighed and said, “Do you still have to doubt it?”

“Don’t worry.”

Bant pushed him away and said, “Now is the time for us to unite as one. Please don’t say such things that are not conducive to unity anymore.”

“And the Tiangong Space Station was built to fight against the Chitauri army. We can’t just stay in the barrier forever, be a coward, and deceive ourselves that the world is peaceful, right? Just like your armor is to protect your body, but the weapons on the armor are to destroy the enemy.”

Bant’s words touched Tony and everyone else’s heart.

As for the ownership of the space station, don’t worry about it.

“Good good.”

Tony nodded vigorously, “Okay, just leave it alone.”

Bant said so, what else could he do?

Instead, it was the following sentence that reminded him.

It is indeed not his character to passively take a beating. If the Chitauri want war, then give them war!

After a rough plan was made, all parties began to take action.

Since the Rubik’s Cube could not be sent to Sakaar for the time being, Bant put it away again and placed it in his backpack where it was absolutely safe.

Norman then urgently set up a technical team to build a huge satellite that could withstand the energy of the Rubik’s Cube.

The main function of the satellite is to be an amplified version of a super energy barrier launcher, powerful enough to cover the earth.

Then he went to the Security Council to raise funds.

Norman discovered that as the director of the Sky Hammer Bureau, he was not really like a director. Instead, he was more like someone in charge of external relations. Every day he was either soliciting funds or on his way to solicit funds.

“In the past, other people always came to me to defraud funding, but now it’s the other way around.” He shook his head and smiled.

Hill said, “I think we should put some sponsor advertisements on the outside of the aircraft carrier next time… How about Yili?”

“Forget about those who sell fake milk.”

Everyone went back to doing their own things.

Steve watched everyone leave. He knew nothing about these things and could only rush forward with his shield. He couldn’t help much now.

After thinking about it, I decided to go to the sanatorium in Primus to see Bucky.

Bucky recently made a friend.

That is Lightning, a patient who is also in the sanatorium and also suffers from some amnesia.

In fact, they were not really friends, just two patients who shared the same illness and could barely communicate with each other in the lonely and boring ward.

Lightning has been recovering well during this period.

Although he couldn’t remember many things, many of his classmates came here to see him, and he gradually became familiar with some of their faces.

The one who comes the most often is naturally Bant.

Then there is Peter.

Peter usually comes over after school, but sometimes he comes to visit Flash wearing Spider-Man’s clothes.

Although he lost his memory, Flash did not forget that he was a fan of Spider-Man.

Instead, I feel like my life is worth it.

“Hey, Ironhand.”

He greeted the taciturn Winter Soldier and said, “I’m ready to be discharged.”

“Has your memory returned?”

The Winter Soldier wasn’t surprised that the Flash was able to leave.

At first he thought that Flash was also a Winter Soldier brainwashed by Hydra like him. Later he found out that the other party was just a high school student and was injured while protecting his classmates.

“No, but that’s okay.”

Lightning exhaled, and then said: “People always have to look forward. It’s just that the old memories can’t be recalled. It’s not like people are dead. There will be new memories.”

“You’re lucky, you have a good friend.” Lightning said.

He was referring to Steve Rogers.

“I remember him, Captain America, he’s an Avenger like Spider-Man, do you know the Avengers?”

“I don’t deserve to be his friend. I have done a lot of bad things.”

Bucky pursed his lips and looked down.

“But he treats you as a friend.” Seeing how frustrated Bucky was, Lightning added, “Listen, Iron Hand, I’ve done bad things too. My classmates who came to see me said that I used to like bullying people.”

“Mistakes don’t go away, so we should make amends for them and atone for the mistakes we made.”

Lightning said.

“I plan to learn from Spider-Man, help those I can, do community service, apologize to everyone I’ve bullied, and do whatever I can, no matter how small.”

Bucky looked at him and it seemed like lightning was really shining.

“you can also.”

“Can I really?”

“Of course.” Lightning nodded seriously, “As long as you are willing. Do you know what Spider-Man said when he came to see me?”

“He said that with great power comes great responsibility, which is why he always does good things.”

Hearing this, Bucky asked again: “What if others never forgive you?”

“I have hurt others. No matter how much I have done, I have no right to ask others to forgive me. But I can’t give up because of this. It is better to spend the rest of my life doing good things and helping others than to feel sorry for myself.”

“Being forgiven is not the goal, but making amends and atonement is.”

“Besides, even if I haven’t done anything wrong, I should still do good things.”

Lightning smiled.

“Because that’s what Spider-Man would do!”
