Chapter 118: Wakanda
In 2.5 million B.C., a huge meteorite made of vibranium fell into eastern Africa, and several tribes who discovered the miraculous metal fought fiercely.
Eventually, it was united into one country, Wakanda.
The mysterious nation had been hiding from itself, but the McQueen quickly discovered it because of the large energy shield that covered the entire city.
East Africa, south of Ethiopia.
On the vast yellow and green land, several gazelles are grazing with their heads down, looking up vigilantly from time to time.
Suddenly, they sensed something, and although they didn't smell like lions and cheetahs, the timid animals scattered in all directions.
Ten seconds later, the McQueen deactivated its stealth function and slowly landed in this place.
Lemo and Skorci with Ulysses, who were controlled. Crow stepped off the ship, and Cora and the Emile remained on the ship, having no interest in the area.
"Boss, is this it?" Skolch looked around boredly.
"Hmm... This should be their border. Li Mo nodded.
"Then why don't we go in yet?" Skorch yawned.
"Don't worry, after all, we have to do business, so it's better to respect the master." Li Mo leisurely lit a cigarette.
The reason for his mood to improve was naturally that the vines had a huge breakthrough after absorbing the vibranium.
Not only has it become a thick bowl and more than ten meters long, but its strength has increased considerably.
Surprisingly, the vines exhibit good ductility and can be elongated like rubber.
What's more, because of the plasticity of absorbing vibranium, Li Mo's idea of building a rune circle on the vines that Li Mo had been fantasizing about could finally come true.
Li Mo only knew that vibranium was very hard, but what he didn't know was that this thing was not an element on the periodic table.
Its special molecular structure makes it almost indestructible. Because it is not radiant like all metallic elements with high relative atomic mass, and there is a lack of movement in the atomic structure, vibranium does not have the conditions for conduction and energy at the root.
However, the properties of vibranium allow it to be used in a variety of ways, from being used to make the armor of a panther or woven into a pattern on fabric to provide an energy shield. It can even be fused with organic proteins to make a visual body.
Li Mo's vampire vine also has infinite possibilities as a result.
The blazing sun is shining on the continent, and the air is a little distorted. But both of them are super physiques, so they are not uncomfortable, but they are a little bored, so they simply made a recliner parasol and drank a cold beer leisurely.
Ulysses. Crow stood in the scorching sun.
After a while, several black uncles with spears and bare feet wrapped in blankets approached them cautiously and screamed.
"Excuse me, I want to enter Wakanda and do business with you." Li Mo said patiently.
But the guys were still whining and raising their spears.
Li Mo was a little impatient, "What to pretend, I want to see your king Black Panther, this guy is a gift, he will definitely like it." ”
With that, he pushed Ulysses. Crowe.
Several black uncles looked at each other, glanced at the McQueen who stopped on the side, hesitated for a while and nodded, and a guy took out a smartphone from the shabby blanket and swept it at Li Mo, and said in fluent English: "Wait here!" ”
Li Mo rolled his eyes speechlessly.
These guys are sitting on the most valuable minerals on the planet, not to mention rich, and they have technology far beyond that of other countries.
Even pretending to be a savage here, taking the United Nations' subsistence allowance every year?
It's really sad...
After a while, a small spaceship with a unique shape flew from a distance and stopped in front of Li Mo and them.
Several tall black bald women in red uniforms and gold collars walked down the gangway with spears in pairs.
T'Challa, dressed in a flamboyant traditional African costume, then stepped down.
He stared at Ulysses at first. Crowe glanced at it, and then said to Li Mo in a gentle voice: "Tentacle Man Li Mo, I know you." I don't know where you got the news, but thank you very much. Welcome to Wakanda. ”
Subsequently, Ulysses. Crow was handcuffed and pressed onto the plane by several female guards, and Li Mo's eyes were hot for a while, and the handcuffs were actually vibranium.
For safety reasons, the McQueen was restricted from entering Wakanda, while Lemo and Skorch boarded T'Challa's ship.
The flattened spacecraft accelerated as soon as it lifted off, and the vast expanse of Africa retreated at a rapid pace.
After crossing a hill, a blue energy shield suddenly appeared and an opening opened, and the ship slipped headlong into it.
Between the cliffs on both sides, a city standing next to the river valley suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Mountains are stacked with greenery, waterfalls overhang lakes, rhinos and zebras eat and walk leisurely on grassy hillsides, and acacia trees in the distance are dyed golden red by the scorching sun.
Rows of graceful high-tech buildings glitter through mountains and valleys, with unmanned systems of maglev trains, jets and skimming boats shuttling through.
It was not uncommon for Li Mo to travel north and south in the universe, but when he saw that the traditional thatched roof was actually retained above the gleaming glass skyscraper, he finally couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" T'Challa noticed Li Mo's expression and asked strangely.
"Nothing... This one... Your building is special. Li Mo shrugged.
T'Challa smiled after a sudden realization, "Because we have not been affected by colonial culture, we have always retained the customs and aesthetics of traditional culture. You see that most of the buildings are products of modern Western civilization, so some are not used to it. ”
Li Mo was speechless, but he recalled the eaves and arches on the top of high-rise buildings in China in his previous life, and reluctantly accepted this reason.
Behind the city was a huge complex of towering buildings, and the ship came to a protruding platform plaza and landed slowly.
Led by a few female guards, several people came to a bright and wide hall. An elderly black man with short silver hair sits on a throne in the center wearing a gorgeous African-style coat.
On the smaller seats on either side sat several other people, some dressed in tapestries, some dyed red, and one in an emerald suit with a green lip plate.
"Welcome to Wakanda, the hero who saved the planet, the warrior Lee who has returned from space." Old King T'Chaka spread out his hands and made a gesture of welcome.
This old man really can talk.
"It's our pleasure." Li Mo and Skorch nodded slightly.
"Ulysses. Crow, your crimes against Wakanda can only be washed away by donating blood. The old king looked at the arms dealers who had been controlled, and said majestically.
It's a pity that Ulysses has been controlled. Crow was very calm and silent.
TM doesn't feel a sense of accomplishment at all!
The old king T'Chaka waved his hand with some interest, "Take him down, T'Challa, the execution will be carried out by you personally, it is your responsibility as the guardian of the kingdom." ”
"Long live Wakanda!"
T'Challa crossed his fists across his chest and saluted with Ulysses. Crowe left the hall.
The old king then looked at Li Mo and said with a smile: "If I guess correctly, you want vibranium, and in order to show your gratitude, we will give you some." ”
Then the old guy waved his hand, and a guard came up with a plate with a rough vibranium the size of a basketball.
What about you TM called Hanako?
The corners of Li Mo's mouth twitched, and his face was a little unsightly.
The old king smiled gently, "The international price of vibranium is about 10,000 US dollars per gram, and it is not available yet. Sorry, we don't have much in reserves. ”
This old man is not a good man!
Li Mo stared at the Vibranium Throne under Tchaka for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I don't need a gift, I just want to get a chance to trade freely." ”
"Wakanda doesn't have anything to trade." The old man hurriedly shook his head.
"Really, don't you want to hear my list of transactions?" Li Mo asked with a frown.
At this moment, the man who was sitting next to him dyed red suddenly said, "Your Majesty, as long as this gentleman can keep it a secret, we should encourage business practices." ”
Then, he nodded to Li Mo friendlyly, "I am an elder of the merchant tribe. ”
Go with you!
Li Mo's impression suddenly increased, this guy is so dedicated, no wonder he painted his whole body in eye-catching red.
The old king nodded a little embarrassed, this guy is in charge of the people's livelihood and economy of the kingdom, and he is not easy to refute.
He planned to let Li Mo talk about it first, and then find a random reason to refuse.
He actually didn't want to make friends with Li Mo, but vibranium was the foundation of Wakanda, and the old man would pick and pull for a lifetime, so he could hand over his ancestral property to T'Challa in the future...
Wait, that kid won't be a loser in the future, right?
No, I need to educate him in the future, young people...
The old king sighed, and began to think about the education of the royal heirs.
However, on Li Mo's side, he miscalculated.
…
Li Mo coughed, cleared his throat and said reservedly: "As a cosmic merchant, of course I won't sell ordinary things. The things that can be traded are..."
"The magic pill from Asgard in the Divine Domain, yes, it is the home of Thor the God of Thunder, and it can instantly heal all external injuries."
The elder of the Frontier Warrior tribe stood up excitedly.
"My signature product, a super beauty product that is very sought-after in the universe, has no side effects at all, and even the queen of the divine domain and the high priest of the higher civilization of the universe are using it."
The queen and a female tribal elder next to her were full of curiosity.
"Of course, there are some alien technology items, as well as the most popular curvature engine recently, etc., but I need to make a reservation, I always have to earn a gas money for the road."
A thin black girl could no longer resist rushing from behind the pillar on the side, "Do you have any of their technical books or materials?" ”
"You can try to get your hands on it. But you know, technology blockade, every civilization has it, and this risk is not ordinary..."Li Mo said nonsense.
"We pay the bills with vibranium, and it's not a problem at all." The girl said anxiously.
"What vibranium?" The old king came to his senses, "We don't need your stuff!" ”
"No, Father, it's very important!" The girl's eyes widened first at the old king.
"Border fighters need a life." Elder of the Frontier Tribe.
"I also agree to make a deal," said the queen with a smile.
Looking at the old king who was noisy, Li Mo laughed reservedly.
In the end, the old king agreed to the deal.
Li Mo and the elders of the merchant tribe carefully discussed the transaction price, and after a fierce quarrel between the two chess opponents, the price was finally confirmed.
Li Mo smiled, he was very satisfied, these guys didn't know how low the cost of their products was.
The elder of the merchant tribe also laughed with satisfaction, this little guy didn't know that in Wakanda, vibranium was not so scarce.
Suddenly, under the surprised gaze of the merchant tribe elder, Li Mo laughed even louder, and his saliva flowed.
When he first entered Wakanda, he secretly released a small insect detector that appeared after the McQueen's detection system was upgraded, completely invisible, and because it was between living things and steel, it was difficult to be detected by radar infrared and the like.
The probe sent a message,
There's a huge vein of vibranium that has no bottom in the depths...
