Chapter 96: Wakanda Invites! The old panther is in a hurry!
The next second when Tony Stark did not hesitate to refuse the request from Pepper Potts to meet!
Jarvis's voice was gone.
Instead, a female voice of discontent emerged.
"Tony, if you don't want to miss the latest news from Celestial Industries, then just open the door and let me down!"
It was Pepper Potts' voice.
Tony Stark was biting a pencil and drawing some kind of prototype.
When he heard Pepper Poetze's words, he immediately loosened his teeth, causing the pencil to fall on the design drawing, directly poking a hole in the design drawing.
However, Tony Stark did not bother to restore the precious design drawings.
Instead, he immediately raised his head and shouted at the ceiling:
"Jarvis! What did I just tell you? Invite the beautiful Miss Potts in at once, I can't wait to see her pretty little face! ”
"I'm sorry Mr. Stark, but the order you just gave was ......"
"Enough Jarvis, a good housekeeper should learn how to do things with his mouth shut!"
“……”
When Tony Stark saw Pepper Potts, who was wearing a gray suit and skirt, walking down the stairs, he immediately opened his hands to meet him.
At the same time, his mouth was constantly complaining about Jarvis.
"OMG! Jarvis just made a big mistake and I'm sure there must have been some minor bug in his core code that I'll fix right away! Don't mind, Pepper, Jarvis is already the best housekeeper I can find, and this home can't live without Jarvis! ”
When Jarvis heard that Tony Stark had thrown the black cauldron on its back, it immediately doubled the power consumption of the host running the Jarvis program.
Jarvis, a super artificial intelligence that has just been born, experienced for the first time what it feels like to be in the back of the pot.
It's really sinister!
But Pepper Potts isn't one of those vases that blooms when Tony Stark praises him.
Not only is she extremely capable of working, but she is also very good at grasping people's hearts, and she debunked Tony Stark's rhetoric at once.
"It's true that only Jarvis can be your butler, you must know that there are twenty housekeepers who have been dismissed by my hands alone, and I heard that many housekeeping service companies have blacklisted Mr. Stark!"
Pepper Potz spoke words that made Tony Stark feel very embarrassed.
In the end, it was Tony Stark who laughed cheekily, and this was barely coping.
"Don't mention these old things in the future! By the way, Pepper, can you tell me what new news Celestial Industries has come up with? Is it a new model of mecha or robot? ”
Tony Stark looked at Pepper Potts with bright eyes, as if he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.
And Pepper Potts is also very professional and gets into the work in an instant.
"It's not a new model of military products, but it's even more amazing, Celestial Industries has developed an artificial metal that can replace vibranium!"
Tony Stark was stunned for a moment.
"What? An artificial metal to replace vibranium? ”
Pepper Potts nodded with certainty.
"That's right, according to Celestial Industries, their man-made metal is named secondary vibranium, which has 80% of the hardness of vibranium, but the price is only 500 US dollars a gram, which is one-twentieth of the normal price of vibranium!"
Tony Stark fell silent for a moment, for he knew exactly what a terrifying secret this piece of information lay behind it.
"I doubt it...... Behind the Celestial Realm Industry is not only a very talented super genius, but also a very large scientific research team! ”
"Materials science is the foundation of the foundation, not a field that one or two geniuses can easily break through, and it must go through a long period of continuous experiments and calculations to make breakthroughs."
"Therefore, we must not lag behind in this area in the future, and we must expand our scientific research team."
Tony Stark's eyes twinkled with anticipation and excitement.
It's been a long, long time since he's been as motivated as he is now.
……
Wakanda, among the king's exclusive palaces.
The current king of Wakanda, T'Chaka, seems to be a little distressed!
In recent times, he has received bad news from his old friend Nick Fury.
That is, there is an artificial metal called secondary vibranium in the outside world, which has led to the cancellation of many orders for vibranium next year.
Although Wakanda's technological level is quite good, it is impossible to completely isolate itself from the outside world and survive alone.
The royal family of Wakanda has always had a habit of studying and traveling abroad.
For example, Prince T'Challa went to England to study in the youth and graduated from Oxford University with quite good grades.
That's a lot of money!
Moreover, in order to capture Ulysses Crowe, who once stole vibranium, Wakanda actually secretly maintains a force in the outside world, and the annual consumption of at least hundreds of millions of dollars is required.
Therefore, Wakanda not only has to sell vibranium externally, but also sells it expensively enough.
And Nick Fury is the only channel through which T'Chaka sells vibranium to the outside world.
Because Nick Fury was the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., he was able to ensure that the vibranium was sold to the right target.
Now that Vibranium's orders have decreased, T'Chaka has fallen into a rather distressed state.
But at this moment, a little black girl appeared in front of T'Chaca.
This is Princess Surui, the daughter of T'Challa, and the half-sister of the next Black Panther T'Challa.
At this time, although Princess Su Rui was only a teenager, her extremely intelligent mind had begun to show the potential to be a super genius.
So whenever T'Chaka encounters some problems, he chooses to ask his young and intelligent daughter for her opinion.
T'Chaka explained the matter to Su Rui in detail, and then waited for Su Rui to give his opinion.
"Father, I think I can extend an invitation to the company that researched the secondary vibranium, and to your friend Nick Fury, father!"
T'Chaka listened to Su Rui's words and looked extremely puzzled.
"Invite? Invite them to Wakanda? Wakanda hasn't received outsiders for a long time, so why do that? ”
Su Rui smiled slightly, and a hint of intelligence flashed in his clear pupils.
"Of course, it is to have a direct contest in our Wakanda, so that they know that in the face of real vibranium, the so-called secondary vibranium is of no use at all, and no matter how low the price is, it cannot replace the status of vibranium."
T'Chaka pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly.
He felt that his daughter had a point.
But he also has a concern, decades ago, he chose to hide Wakanda in order to protect it.
Wouldn't inviting outsiders into Wakanda now be tantamount to announcing the existence of Wakanda to the world?
Su Rui looked at his father, and after blinking his eyes, he finally used words to eliminate his father's last concerns.
"Father, in fact, I think there must be many people in the outside world who already know about the existence of Wakanda! Ulysses Crowe was able to steal vibranium, and he would certainly be able to sell our Wakanda intelligence for profit. ”
"So, as long as we don't make Wakanda public in the open, inviting outsiders into Wakanda won't have much of an impact."
"This will also let them know the strength of our Wakanda, form a sufficient deterrent, and make Wakanda safer!"
T'Chaka looked at his daughter with admiration on his face, amazed at how she was able to analyze things so thoroughly.
"Very well, you're right, I'll consider your suggestion."
With a wave of his hand, Su Rui stepped back, and after a few moments, T'Chaka made a final decision, picked up the communication device at hand, and dialed a certain number.
……
Celestial Industrial Park, in the CEO's office.
When Peter pushed the door open and entered the office, Kelly was already waiting for him to arrive.
"Looking for me in such a hurry? Is there anything you can't say on the phone? ”
Kelly also took the initiative to stand up at this time, with a trace of complicated emotions on her face.
"Nick Fury just called me."
Peter frowned.
"Nick Fury? At this time, it should be for the sake of the secondary vibranium, right? ”
"That's right, but he's just delivering a message on his behalf, and Wakanda has sent an invitation to Celestial Industries."
"Wakanda seems to want to prove through actual combat that our secondary vibranium can't have 80 percent of the hardness of vibranium, and if we don't show up, it may really have a bit of a negative impact."
The news that Kelly told surprised Peter a little.
Wakanda's reaction came so quickly and unexpectedly, it seems that the old black panther who is currently in charge of Wakanda is a little anxious, and he doesn't want vibranium to be cut off!
"But what does this have to do with Nick Fury? What is he here to make a fuss about? ”
"Nick Fury has a close relationship with Wakanda, and it seems that the vibranium on the market is circulated to the market through his hands."
"I see, it seems that the network of S.H.I.E.L.D. is deeper than I thought!"
"So how are we going to respond to Wakanda's invitation? Why don't you let me take Erica and the two of them to the appointment? ”
Kelly took the initiative to go to Wakanda for an appointment.
However, at this time, Peter refused without hesitation.
"No, this time it's important, since Wakanda wants to prove the strength of vibranium with actual combat, we can also have a chance to prove the performance of secondary vibranium."
"This time, it's up to me and Gwen to go in person! There is no room for error! ”
"It's not impossible to reply to Nick Fury and accept Wakanda's invitation, but you have to invite two more people."
"Who?"
"Tony Stark and General Ross!"
"Why take both of them? They're not our people. ”
"Since it is proof, then there must be an impartial third-party witness at the scene, and with these two people at the scene, even if those guys in Wakanda want to play some shady tricks, they have to be a little more scrupulous."
……
Peter's request, though a bit harsh, did not bother the S.H.I.E.L.D. chief.
Soon, Nick Fury acted as a competent lobbyist, convincing Tony Stark and General Ross to travel to Wakanda to become a notary figure for a third party.
A few days later, the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D., on the roof of the Triqual Wing Building.
Several figures were gathering together, as if waiting for something to arrive.
These are: S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury, Iron Man Tony Stark, General Ross, and Peter and Gwen.
I saw that Peter and Gwen at this time still appeared as Baxman and Spider-Woman, maintaining enough mystery of their identities!
A moment later, there was a low humming sound in the sky.
Everyone looked up, only to find that a titanium-gray flying machine had actually drilled out of the void in the sky.
The size of this aircraft is not too large, it is a full circle smaller than the Kun fighter of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it can only be called a medium size.
However, from the perspective of scientific and technological content, it is obvious that this titanium gray aircraft is more excellent.
Because the titanium gray aircraft not only has optical stealth, but also is equipped with an anti-gravity device, coupled with a super-power thruster to achieve supersonic flight.
When the titanium gray aircraft appeared, everyone on the scene was extraordinary, and their eyes flashed at the same time.
Obviously, I realized that the rumored hidden country of Wakanda has a very high level of technology, and it is really not an exaggeration.
Just this flying machine vaguely overwhelmed the Kun-style fighter of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Next, the titanium gray aircraft slowly landed on the roof of the three-curved wing building and opened the hatch in front of everyone.
The very young T'Challa walked out, followed by two female warriors of Dora's Escort in red robes!
T'Challa stopped in front of them and said politely to them:
"First time we met, I was T'Challa, the son of King T'Chaka of Wakanda!"
"Next, I'll be your guide to Wakanda!"
……
The Wakanda aircraft is extremely fast, covering thousands of kilometers in a very short period of time.
Then, in a state of stealth, he crashed into a jungle, without any impact, and after a ripple of energy flickered around him.
Suddenly, my vision became clearer!
In front of me, a large number of buildings appeared, forming a strange city surrounded by the river.
The speed of the Wakanda aircraft decreased, and it officially entered the sky above the city.
Peter and the others sat on top of the Wakanda flying machine, navigating this strange city full of high-tech atmosphere.
Looking out the window at the huge buildings that stood on the grassland, and at the tribal tents in the distance, which were full of primitive atmosphere, Peter felt a strong sense of disobedience.
This feeling is also shared by Tony Stark on the side.
The two glanced at each other with a tacit understanding at this time.
The corners of Tony Stark's mouth, who was familiar with his personality, crooked, took the initiative to sit next to Peter.
Then, Tony Stark said in a voice that only two people could hear:
"It seems that the things developed by your company have brought a lot of threats to Wakanda, and this time I'm afraid they are preparing a ruthless trick to deal with you!"
Peter shifted his position to the side without a trace.
"Thank you for the reminder, but we also have ruthless tricks, it depends on who is more ruthless!"
Then, suddenly, Peter pointed to the suitcase at Tony Stark's feet and said:
"This stuff is good, I like it!"
The suitcase brought by Tony Stark seems to be of all-metal texture, showing red and silver, and looks very beautiful.
In fact, this is the Mark V suit, also known as the suitcase suit, which can be easily carried around.
Seeing that his latest proud work was unexpectedly debunked at once, Tony Stark was slightly stunned, and then a proud expression quickly appeared on his face.
"You have a good eye! If I'm not mistaken, the super genius behind Celestial Industries is you, right? ”
