Chapter 138: The City of the Future
Deep in Wakanda, under the cover of wild mountains and forests, surrounded by clear rivers, lies a magnificent city rising from the ground.
To say 'majestic' is that Howard could not find another adjective to compare it to.
He asked himself that he had been to all the developed cities in the world, but none of them could compare to the city in front of him.
The high-end modern skyscrapers do not stand out from the crowd as in New York and Washington, but are surrounded by plans, reflecting the cold glow of glass and metal in the sun.
The suspension train passes over the bustling streets of the city from the overhead light rail, and the ultimate prosperity created by science and technology can be witnessed here.
Kyle and Howard perched on the irregular edge of the mirror space, gazing at the reflection of the futuristic city from the outside, amazed by the immortal city filled with the light of technology.
"This is the true face of Wakanda, the legendary city of gold that some explorers have been looking for for centuries and have been asking for." Kyle chuckled and shook his head, "It's too inappropriate to describe this place in gold." ”
There is an almost inexhaustible supply of vibranium here! In the eyes of the world, gold is a representative metal used to describe and measure wealth, but compared to vibranium metal, it is nothing.
"Kyle, can I go around the city? It's the real world, and you can feel it by entering it personally. Howard slurred his words with excitement, and looked at Kyle with a blank eye.
It was the first time he had lost his temper with such excitement.
For scientists, Wakanda's city of science and technology is like a lifelong believer who has seen God and is crazy to worship it.
"Of course you can, but you should change your clothes in advance, or you will be attacked by the local residents as soon as you enter." Kyle was headed, and he brought Howard here to investigate, in part, to help Howard break the shackles of the old era of technology in the outside world.
"Okay, I'll wear whatever you tell me to wear." Howard quickly agreed.
Kyle smiled mysteriously, "That's what you said. ”
Five minutes later.
Wakanda hides inside the city, bustling modern streets.
In a simple transformation of Venom, Kyle disguised himself as a tall, sturdy, dark-skinned, white-robed indigenous youth, blending in with the local natives without disobedience or indifference.
"Kyle, am I really good at dressing up?"
Keeping up with Kyle's side, the little Howard said in a low voice.
At this time, he was wearing a hideous beast-type mask that covered his face, his exposed thin upper body was stained with black and white powder, and he could no longer tell what color his original skin was, and his body was also matched with a strange primitive wooden staff and headdress.
"You see they don't dress up like that." Kyle whispered reassurance.
"This is really advanced and barbaric, the cities and objects created are so advanced, but the customs and aesthetics are so primitive and old." Howard complained that he didn't fit in the outfit, but after a while, he was attracted by the advanced technology inherent in the city, and he couldn't take his eyes off it at all.
It just so happened that a hovering train passed over the heads of the two of them, on the bridge dozens of meters high between the buildings, and passed in silence.
Howard looked up, his eyes shining through the gaps in his mask, and whispered to Kyle with suppressed excitement, "It's incredible, they've built a hovering train across the centuries, silently, and at a very high and steady speed." ”
Kyle smiled and said bluntly, "Because of the special material." ”
"Material?" Howard didn't understand and was lost in thought, but Kyle reminded him, "Forget the shield you gave Steve when you were training at the base." ”
"Of course I haven't forgotten......," Howard said, suddenly shuddering, looking at Kyle in disbelief, and said with difficulty, "You mean, their light rail train is made of vibranium?!" ”
Vibranium metal. Also known as 'sound-absorbing steel', the hardest thing on the earth, it is the most expensive rare metal known to mankind!
He once thought that the shield provided to Captain America was the only vibranium material on earth, and when he saw Kyle holding the vibranium armguard, he was also surprised and asked again and again about the origin.
And now, Wakanda is using vibranium metal to develop levitating trains?
In response to Howard's doubts, Kyle replied softly, "It's not just the levitating train, they use the vibranium minerals they have been digging up for thousands of years to make clothes and weapons, power the city, and enhance the level of science and technology - it can be said that the city itself was created based on vibranium." ”
This answer was so shocking that Howard almost let out an exclamation on the spot, but fortunately realized in time that there were indigenous people all around, and the words were stuck in his throat.
After a long time, he said with emotion from the bottom of his heart: "Everyone is on the same earth, why are there so many regional differences. ”
Even Howard, a self-made multi-millionaire, is envious, and it is no wonder why for so many years, Wakanda has guarded the vibranium mines and dared not publicize it to the outside world, living an independent life closed off from the country. and expelled or even killed outsiders.
This is a mountain of vibranium!
"In any case, this city is the crystallization of advanced science, and most of the correct and practical scientific and technological principles can save me 50 years of detours." Howard's eyes lit up, and he understood this, and he realized the meaning of Kyle bringing him here.
Kyle has a genetic disease, and before he leaves Earth, he needs to pave the right path for them to the future of technology and evolution!
For the rest of the day, Howard is fully immersed in the City of the Future, looking left and right to see all kinds of new and exciting technological products.
Kyle was quietly attracted by another phenomenon in the city of Wakanda-
From time to time, a group of different indigenous tribes, dressed in strange indigenous clothes, went to a certain part of the city, and the local residents seemed to be celebrating something collectively, smiling and talking excitedly.
Kyle listened to the crowd for a moment, and soon showed a blank expression, knowing what was going on.
It's not a local festival or anything, but it just so happens that today, the king of Wakanda is declining from the throne, and Prince T'Challa will accept the royal challenge of the tribes of the country, and if he succeeds, he will be promoted to the new king!
"It's kind of interesting. Howard, let's go over and take a look. Kyle looked back at the suggestion, and was stunned for a moment, at some point, Howard actually ran away from the area next to him.
He looked around at Howard as the natives flocked to the challenge.
"That old gentleman, so fascinated, dared to leave my side......" Kyle's face changed slightly.
Wakanda has always hated outsiders, and with their brutal methods, if Howard reveals his true identity, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
Kyle didn't think much of it, and immediately moved along the many natives, interspersed with the dense crowd to find out.
