Chapter 1987 Lighting up the Dream in Your Heart (Twenty-Two)

Orlando Disney's Hollywood Studios is the smallest among the four parks, but it can also be said to be the essence. The entire park has many popular movie IP projects, and most of the projects are quite exciting, so it is very popular among young people. .

Across the boulevard, you can see a huge Mickey Wizard Hat, which is bright blue and purple in color, dotted with stars and moons, and the most classic Mickey gloves.

The four parks of Disney World have similar structures, with one main road leading to four to five areas. The Main Street of America in the Magic Kingdom was replaced by a boulevard at the Hollywood Studios.

Because Steve and Schiller's team had to wait for Black Panther T'Challa, they did not squeeze in at the first moment of the park's opening. Instead, they watched the show for a while under the stage with Mickey's Magic Hat.

Another major feature of the Hollywood Park is that many of their programs are performed by comedians who have not yet become famous. There will be special competitions here, and even tourists can perform impromptu performances.

The Magic Hat Stage should be rehearsing the evening's official program now. Although the actors have changed their costumes, due to the lack of lights and music, it is really not worth seeing.

Fortunately, T'Challa arrived soon, and what a few people didn't expect was that the mutant Storm Ororo walked out of the portal with him.

Steve immediately walked up and patted T'Challa on the arm, smiled at him and said, "I heard that you guys got engaged recently? When are you planning to hold the wedding?"

T'Challa also showed a hearty smile, and Ororo stepped forward and said helplessly: "Look, I said that as long as we announce the engagement news, everyone will ask this question, and it will be non-stop. Ask repeatedly."

"Actually, it will take some time." T'Challa replied matter-of-factly. He said: "The wedding process of the Wakanda royal family will be very complicated, because we have to coordinate the free time of various tribal chiefs, and we also have to sacrifice leopards during the wedding. God, that is a very complicated and long process..."

"And the Monroe family also has a lot of taboos on weddings." Ororo said, "I must listen to the opinions of my relatives to prevent some of our actions from offending the gods on both sides."

Steve shook his head and said: "I originally thought that Catholic wedding ceremonies were troublesome enough. Carter was still talking to me about this two days ago. He fell asleep in the church three times when he went to attend his cousin's wedding. "

"Of course I have experienced it." T'Challa pursed his lips and smiled and said: "However, although the wedding process in Africa is more complicated, most of it is very lively and often requires guests to participate, so you will not be too bored."

"It doesn't look like it will be long, right?" Schiller also said.

T'Challa and Ororo both responded with smiles, and finally they said: "If it is confirmed, I will send you an invitation as soon as possible and just give it to Nick, right?"

"He will go crazy." Steve and his group started to enter the park. He said as they walked: "This time, Disney reimbursed all the tour expenses, so he was willing to give us such a long vacation."

"Then it seems I need to prepare more souvenirs."

"Compared with the souvenirs, he might prefer that the souvenir boxes are made of vibranium." Schiller shook his head slightly and said: "Since the price of vibranium started to rise again, he looked at Steve Shields There’s something wrong with his eyes.”

Steve laughed deeply, patted the wrapped shield in his hand and said, "Don't think we don't know. Nick took advantage of the lowest price of vibranium to acquire a large number of loose products on the market. He is unwilling to sell the goods now just because he thinks it can still rise. "

Tracha's face lit up when he mentioned this. Since molten steel impacted the vibranium price market, causing a sharp drop in the international price of vibranium, which in turn affected Wakanda's international status, S.H.I.E.L.D., Spearhead, and Stark The Syndicate, the Wakandan royal family, and even the mutants have taken various measures to try to coordinate.

Originally, many civilian companies thought that large-scale mining of molten steel would completely replace vibranium. However, SHIELD, Stark Group and mutants reached an agreement to control the mining volume of molten steel and tighten the conditions for civilian procurement of molten steel.

At the same time, Wakanda no longer hides it, slightly relaxed the export of vibranium, and reached direct agreements with companies with high demand to steadily provide them with raw materials.

Most civilian companies have found that although vibranium is expensive, it is easy to purchase and the supply is stable, which is more conducive to long-term production. This has made the international vibranium price pick up slightly.

Then there is the cultural propaganda. Vibranium actually has similar properties to gold. They are both alien objects and the earth itself cannot produce similar minerals.

The physical strength of vibranium is much better than that of gold, and its chemical stability is not low. It is a necessary raw material for the production of many precision equipment and has great industrial production value. Although its appearance is not as good as that of cut diamond, its stock is smaller than that of diamond. , also rarer.

The turning point occurred when Asgard was building the Crown of the God King. S.H.I.E.L.D. and Spearhead cooperated with Asgard in a wave of hype. The main idea was that the Lord of the Nine Kingdoms was searching for rare treasures in the Nine Kingdoms, and he had to use the Nine Kingdoms. The most dazzling gem was forged into the crown of the God King.

This has triggered a great discussion among the people. Everyone is thinking about which metal can represent the Earth. In the end, it was the Stark Group's distribution overview of the minerals of the twelve types of planets in the universe that made ordinary people who have never left the surface understand that diamonds are not rare.    Basically, on each planet, the more valuable ones are not the minerals that the planet itself can produce. Most of them are one-time extraterrestrial objects that will become sought-after precious metals, and even become planetary currency like gold.

The Earth is particularly lucky in that vibranium seems to be a free metal in the universe, without any planetary origin. Stark inferred that vibranium is likely to come from the core of a planet that has disappeared in a collision or explosion, because only the pressure of an entire planet can forge such a dense substance.

At the same time, the sound absorption characteristics of vibranium may be a special property produced after the dense core of the star is subjected to some kind of cosmic radiation. It can be said to be a coincidence among coincidences, a low probability among low probabilities.

As a result, the popularity of vibranium has become even higher. On the one hand, this has greatly stimulated the sense of superiority of human beings. After all, the universe is so big, and this material happened to fall on the earth. There is no other universe. It is much more noble than the molten steel that can be mined on the planet.

On the other hand, if it is considered rare in the universe, it is not shameful to take it out. If it is diamonds and gold, and it is seen by aliens who produce these two minerals on other home planets, wouldn’t they think that the God King has the floor tiles of their home on his head?

So vibranium naturally became the ninth gem on Thor’s crown, and then people found that after being forged by the dwarves, this metal that was originally only used for industrial materials actually glowed with unique beauty.

For a while, vibranium became famous in the collection circle.

And because not everyone has the technology to forge this metal, it is more sought after by wealthy people who pursue rarity. Wakanda established a vibranium jewelry production center overnight. T’Challa and Ororo have recently attended various important events wearing a full set of vibranium jewelry.

"We are planning to cooperate with the dwarves recently." T'Challa and Steve said as they walked in: "Their forging technology is indeed unexpected, which makes us even more amazed at the vastness of the universe and the wonder of life." "Another reason why our wedding time cannot be determined is that we hope to take this opportunity to show the beauty of vibranium to the world." "Are you no longer stingy with your exports?" Schiller teased with a smile. T'Challa shook his head and said, "My father's policy of holding a few precious resources and thinking that Wakanda's position cannot be shaken by anyone is simply unsustainable. The gift given to us by God should have brought us greater benefits, not to those vibranium dealers."

"It's hard to imagine how you convinced your father." Steve sighed and said, "Howard once told me that the most difficult part of making this shield is not the design or forging, but getting such a large piece of vibranium raw material is simply impossible."

T'Challa looked down at the shield in Steve's hand and said, "Excuse me, Wakanda couldn't export such a large piece of vibranium in that era. This should also be the credit of the vibranium dealers."

Hearing their conversation, Schiller paused, he turned to look at Steve and said, "Howard told you that this shield is made of vibranium?"

T'Challa and Steve were stunned for a moment, Steve nodded and said, "He gave this shield to me. When I asked him about the material, he told me it was made of vibranium. "

"Later, when I used it, I found that this shield has many powerful functions, such as being able to completely eliminate the impact caused by falling, being able to absorb great kinetic energy, and the upper limit has not yet been measured. It can also absorb sound waves. Aren't these all the characteristics of vibranium? "

T'Challa also nodded and said: "Vibranium is also known as sound-absorbing steel. Its properties are very special. The electrons in the material do not move at all, causing the molecules to always be in a state of 0 degrees Kelvin, resulting in a lack of movement on a molecular scale. Therefore, vibranium does not transmit force at all physically, so it can almost completely absorb kinetic energy and never wear out. "

Schiller actually knew that Captain America's shield was a vibranium alloy, and the raw material was not made by Howard Stark, but from a materials science doctor, McClane. When he was resting in the laboratory, he accidentally mixed many materials to make a mysterious alloy.

The properties of this mysterious alloy are even more peculiar. It makes vibranium more flexible and becomes a super elastic alloy, and this alloy should be the original adamantium alloy.

However, Schiller did not point it out, because if a Star Wars-themed battle really happened next, T'Challa, who was most often exposed to vibranium, would definitely find that the properties of Captain America's shield were not exactly the same as vibranium.

They were already very eager to hype vibranium. Once they found that vibranium alloys had better properties than vibranium, the value of vibranium would undoubtedly increase greatly.

More importantly, if they could have a superior vibranium alloy material, vibranium would have advantages that molten steel did not have, which meant that it would not be replaced by molten steel.

Schiller speculated that Howard chose to conceal the original adamantium alloy at the time because he did not want to encourage Wakanda's trend of raising prices. The old king at that time was determined to be a resource-dependent country. If they realized that vibranium alloys had greater value, the price of vibranium would definitely soar.

However, it seems that T’Challa intends to actively transform and keep up with the pace of space exploration. Then perhaps further development of the material properties of vibranium will do more good than harm to human industry.
