Chapter 358: Rebellion in Wakanda (Part 1)

After Christmas, heavy snow fell from the sky of New York, making the city covered in silver. Schiller sat in the chair in the office, blew the hot air floating on the cup, and the light of the computer screen reflected in his eyes.

Although the computer screen is now stuck on the interface of the work software, Schiller gently shook the mouse to reveal the interface of the news website below the work software, which is the new science news section of the Global Times.

Originally, the Global Times did not report the progress of scientific research, or no newspaper would report such things in detail. Even if there was, it was just an exaggerated gimmick to attract the attention of those black technology enthusiasts, or to stand up for some companies.

But things change with time. When the solar system construction plan was in full swing, the official also began to disclose certain information to ordinary people through some news channels to vaccinate them.

Otherwise, people were still in the period when it was difficult to land on the moon, and suddenly a space battleship appeared above their heads, which would scare many people.

Therefore, newspapers and media with official channels like the Global Times have begun to focus on reporting on human scientific and technological progress, as if human basic science has been greatly improved in just a few days.

In fact, many technologies have been developed long ago, but they are still confidential. Now, as the technological leap is about to begin, there is no need to keep these confidential technologies confidential. Therefore, ordinary people have found that reports on these scientific and technological advances have occupied all news and browser homepages.

Since Eddie Brock is a front-line reporter in the universe, mainly rushing to the front line of various major cosmic events, relying on the completely unreasonable strong physical fitness of the Venom symbiote, he has withstood the aftermath of the war and shot many precious cosmic pictures. After returning to Earth, he is the editor-in-chief of the Global Times, so the science section of the Global Times has become the most popular scientific news report.

At this time, the most prominent title on the main interface of their official website reads a line of big words: "Material technology has made another breakthrough! The molten steel alloy that is not inferior to vibranium has been introduced. Will human materials science reach a new peak?"

After clicking on this title, you can see an interview report full of various professional terms. The interviewee is a researcher from the Stark Group. According to him, molten steel is a miracle of new-era materials science, with properties comparable to vibranium. More importantly, it can be synthesized in batches and has a huge output.

When asked about the formula of this alloy, the researcher revealed. This is still Tony Stark's masterpiece, and the formula is only in his hands.

This result did not surprise those who saw this report. In fact, in the past few days, Stark seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians. Amazing inventions came one after another.

It's not that no one suspected that he was committing academic fraud in order to attract attention, but Stark told them in another way that this was all true - he applied all these technologies to his Iron Man suit, and then flew the Iron Battle over New York eight times a day. …

When it was revealed that Stark was Iron Man, most people had a very negative opinion of it. They regarded the Iron Man suit as a toy for a rich old man to have fun.

Until now, this impression has not changed much, it has just become a toy for a rich and skilled old man to have fun.

Now most people's evaluation of Iron Man is that Stark is a complete rotten person, a damn playboy, and God is really unfair to the extreme. Not only did he give him so much money, but he also gave him a good brain.

Stark enjoyed this evaluation very much. In the interview, he answered this question directly. He said: "Yes, but God is more unfair than you think. He not only gave me a lot of wealth and wisdom, but also gave me the charm that makes women all over the world fall for me. This is the point!"

Let alone those black fans who were so angry at him, those former cover girl girlfriends stood up and said that they had no interest in Stark's wealth and wisdom, and they were mainly attracted by his charm.

Putting aside these gossips, the news reports of the new material molten steel not only set off a great uproar in the three continents of America, Asia and Europe, but also made a small country in Africa as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, that is Wakanda.

It has to be admitted that Wakanda's current international status is inseparable from the importance of vibranium. Their leader Black Panther is indeed a knowledgeable and visionary leader, but without the special material properties of vibranium, Wakanda would never have developed to its current level.

Originally, Wakanda could hold the emperor hostage to command the princes with the vibranium in its hands, and use the world with vibranium, so that Wakanda occupies an important position in interstellar development.

Even Stark had to negotiate with Black Panther in a good tone, even. At this important node, countries that want to get a share of vibranium must bid, and Wakanda's international status has been rising in recent times.

If the leader Black Panther T'Challa was a selfish villain who was not enterprising, he should have been crowned the emperor of Africa by now.

But T'Challa is a very wise and far-sighted leader. Although he is stuck with the resources of vibranium, he also manipulates the resources in exchange for the support of the international community. At the same time, he is also quite righteous. He joins hands with Stark to increase the mining output of vibranium to make the human solar system construction plan more stable.

During this period of research, Stark and T'Challa's friendship has made great progress. Therefore. When the news of molten steel came out, T'Challa immediately contacted Stark.

"...Yes, I know you are anxious. I also know that new materials are related to the future development of Wakanda, but the reserves of vibranium are too small. For the entire construction plan, it is just a drop in the bucket."

Stark listened to T'Challa's anxious voice on the other end of the phone. He comforted T'Challa and said, "Of course, molten steel alloys are not omnipotent. The strategic position of vibranium has not declined as seriously as you think..."

"Tony, I hope you understand that this is an important resource for all the people in our country to survive, and it is also the most important bargaining chip for us to gain a foothold in the international community..."...

Stark shook his head and said, "T'Challa, don't you think you take vibranium too seriously? You really... Do you intend to tie your entire country and everyone in your country to this material? "

Before T'Challa could say anything, Stark said: "Just because we are friends, I have to remind you of this. I think I want to tell you a story, a story about a civilization that is too dependent on special resources and goes to tragedy..."

In Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Storm was standing in front of Professor X's desk. She sighed with worry and said: "Wakanda is in a bad situation now. Many people think that molten steel will replace vibranium. In that case, the large amount of resources in their hands may become waste paper. "

"What's more terrible is that they think their leader Black Panther has not taken strong enough measures. , to protect the strategic position of vibranium, and some even think that T'Challa should not have controlled the output of vibranium before. If he had cashed in the vibranium resources at that time, he would not have to deal with the impact of alternative materials now. "

Charles covered his forehead and said, "Isn't Wakanda the country with the highest education level in Africa? Can't they figure out this common sense question?"

Storm sighed, stroked her silver hair behind her ears, and said, "T'Challa distributed vibranium shares to the people in order to improve everyone's welfare, but once the resources are distributed to individuals, they will not care about what strategy the country has, but only care about whether the resources in their hands will depreciate. "

"Now there are many people making a fuss "He asked the country to buy the vibranium resources in their hands at the previous market price, but T'Challa couldn't do that, which would cause Wakanda's capital chain to break. "

"Didn't he go to talk to Stark? In fact, things haven't reached that point at all." Charles said calmly: "Although molten steel is good, it also has a limit to its production capacity. The amount of resources required for the construction plan of the solar system is an astronomical figure. It is not necessarily that there is no vibranium if there is molten steel. Why can't we have all of them?"

"Yes, I also know that even if the characteristics of molten steel are similar to those of vibranium, they are not exactly the same. Whether the new material is stable and controllable still needs to be tested by time. During this period, they will still rely on Wakanda's vibranium..." Storm concluded.

"But it is difficult for Black Panther to convince the people, right?" Charles asked.

Storm sat down, showing a somewhat sad expression, and said: "I have been with T'Challa for this period of time. He told me about his dream. He hopes that Wakanda is not just a small African country. He hopes that he and the people here will have the opportunity to step into the universe..."

"Therefore, he did not use his king's power to sell precious vibranium resources without restraint, but used these resources to exchange for more support in the international community to enhance Wakanda's international status. At the same time, he also actively participated in the construction of the solar system, and even paid a great price just to keep up with the pace of the big countries..."

"However, his efforts are not easy to be seen. People only see that T'Challa has a good relationship with Stark, and then he locks himself in the laboratory to make inventions that they don't understand at all, just like a tyrant who doesn't care about the people at all..."

Storm closed She tilted her head, her eyelashes fluttering, as if she was about to cry. She said, "It is because I have lived in New York for so long that I can see more clearly how scared and helpless the people in my hometown are. In that land, the people of Wakanda have witnessed too many tragedies of small countries falling apart, and they are extremely afraid of the arrival of that day."

"Any slight disturbance will make them feel scared like a frightened bird, but you can't blame them, because you never know whether the next accident will cause the fire of civilization that has just been ignited to be extinguished..."

"It seems that the trip to Wakanda has brought a lot of changes to you, Ororo. In the past, you rarely mentioned the situation in your hometown."

"I am a black man born in New York. You know, in the black circle in New York, no one likes to talk about Africa. My mother also told me that she is trying to forget about Kenya."

Storm raised her head, her light-colored irises gleaming with light, and she said, "But our ability to manipulate the weather comes from the Monroe family in Kenya, where we have been passed down for thousands of years..."

"The wind, rain, thunder and lightning on that land often appear in my dreams, but this time, after I returned to Africa, I found that it was not the African paradise reported..."

Storm showed a sad expression and said, "Neither is Wakanda."
