Chapter 357: Rebellion in Wakanda (Part 1)
After Christmas, heavy snow fell from the sky of New York, making the city covered in silver. Schiller sat on 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: "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, but it has 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 that their teeth itched, those former cover girl girlfriends stood up and said that they had no interest in Stark's wealth and wisdom, and they mainly saw 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 vibranium resources, he can also strategize and manipulate resources in exchange for the support of the international community. At the same time, he is also quite righteous, and he teamed up with Stark to improve The mining output of vibranium will make mankind's solar system construction plan more stable.

During this period of research, the friendship between Stark and T'Challa developed rapidly. As soon as the news of the molten steel came out, T'Challa immediately contacted Stark.
"...Yes, I know you are anxious, and I also know that new materials are related to Wakanda's future development, but the reserves of vibranium are too small. For the entire construction plan, it is simply a drop in the bucket."
Stark was a little anxious when he heard T'Challa's voice on the other end of the phone. He comforted T'Challa and said, "Of course, molten steel alloy is not omnipotent. The strategic status of vibranium has not declined as seriously as you think... …”
"Tony, I hope you understand that this is an important resource that all people in our country rely on for survival, and it is also the most important bargaining chip that we can use to stand on the international community..."
Stark shook his head and said: "T'Challa, don't you think you take vibranium a little too seriously? Do you really intend to tie your entire country and everyone in your country to this material? Above?"
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 about the consequences of over-reliance on special resources." The story of a tragic civilization..."
In Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Storm was standing in front of Professor In that case, a lot of resources in their hands may become useless.”
"What's even more frightening is that they feel that their leader, Black Panther, did not take strong enough measures to protect Vibranium's strategic position. Some even think that T'Challa should not have controlled Vibranium's output before. If we can monetize our vibranium resources when the time comes, we won’t 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 understand such a common-sense question?"
Storm sighed, brushed her silver hair behind her ears, and said: "Techalla distributed the shares of vibranium to the people originally to improve everyone's welfare, but once the resources are distributed to individuals, they will They don’t care about the country’s strategy, they only care about whether the resources they have are going to depreciate.”
"Many people are already clamoring for the country to purchase the vibranium resources in their hands at the previous market price, but T'Challa cannot do that, which will cause Wakanda's capital chain to break."
"Didn't he go talk to Stark? In fact, the matter has not reached that point at all." Charles still said calmly: "Although molten steel is good, there is a limit to production capacity, and the amount of resources required for the construction plan of the solar system It’s an astronomical figure. If you have molten steel, you may not have vibranium. Why can’t you have them all?”
"Yes, I also know that even if the properties of molten steel are similar to vibranium, they are not exactly the same. Whether the new material is stable and controllable needs to be tested over time. During this period, they will still rely on Wakanda. Of vibranium..." Storm concluded.
"But it's hard for Black Panther to convince people, isn't it?" Charles asked.
Storm sat down, she showed a sad expression, and said: "I have been with T'Challa during this time, and he told me about his dream. He hopes that Wakanda will not just be a small African country. He hopes that he and the people here will have the opportunity to reach into the universe..."
"Therefore, he did not use his power as king to sell precious vibranium resources without restraint. Instead, he used these resources to exchange for more support from the international community to enhance Wakanda's international status. At the same time, He also actively participated in the construction of the solar system, even at great cost, just to keep up with the pace of the big powers..."
"However, these efforts of his are not easy to see. What people see is that T'Challa has a good relationship with Stark, and then locks himself in the laboratory to work on inventions that they don't understand at all, just like a A foolish king who doesn’t care about the people at all..."
Storm closed her eyes and tilted her head. Her eyelashes flickered as if she was about to shed tears. She said, "It is precisely because I have lived in New York for so long that I can better understand how poor the people in my hometown are." Fear and helplessness, the people of Wakanda have seen too many tragedies of small countries falling apart, and they are extremely afraid of that day coming. "
"Any slightest disturbance will make them feel as frightened as a frightened bird, but you can't blame them, because you never know whether the next accident will cause this nascent fire to be extinguished..."
"It seems that your trip to Wakanda has brought you a lot of changes, Ororo. In the past, you rarely mentioned the situation in your hometown."
"I'm a black man born in New York, and you know, in black circles in New York, no one likes to talk about Africa, and my mother also told me that she was trying to forget about Kenya."
Storm raised her head, her light-colored eyes shining with light, and she said: "But our ability to control the weather comes from the Monroe family in Kenya, where we have passed down the tradition for thousands of years..."
Love reading books
"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 in the news..."
Storm showed a sad expression and said, "It's not Wakanda either."
