Wakanda is indeed isolated, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the interior is a large plain, which is very suitable for farming, and even the water comes up from the ground.

The land is unbelievably fertile, yielding 1,800 per acre, and Lille even suspects that the soil surveys of Wakanda are conservative.

Because Lille looked not only at the report on Wakanda, but also at the situation on the African continent in recent years.

In recent years, the African continent has been in civil war, this kind of civil war is even spontaneous, a large number of oil and gas mineral resources can not be exploited because of the chaotic state, cultivation is also planted for a year and stopped for a year, the most resource-rich Sudan fights the most fiercely, and it is common to change the government in 4-6 years.

This kind of change is not an electoral change like that of the berry country or other developed countries, but a coup d'état and a civil war.

Large-scale instability contributes to at least 2.6 million people facing famine each year, more than 6 million people lack economic or physical access to adequate food, and 50 per cent of the continent's population faces food access.

The reality is much more grim than it is, because the figure is even an average of Wakanda's very neighboring Central African countries, where famine is largely non-existent.

This is what these countries should have been facing, but with Wakanda's abundant and inexpensive food bailout, political stability has been largely maintained.

Others relied on armed forces to stabilize order, and Wakanda was subdued by feeding his neighbors, which shows that King T'Chaca's political tactics were indeed clever, but there was also plenty of food.

However, it is somewhat unrealistic to develop high-tech and other industries.

Because a rich agricultural country is still an agricultural country, it is already doing its best to drag the surrounding brothers to barely stabilize their lives.

It's not that we haven't tried to develop industry, but it's just slow for two reasons."

T'Chaka sighed and answered Lille's questions: Wakanda may only be rich in agricultural resources, but the whole of Central Africa is quite rich in minerals.

There is no reason why it cannot be developed.

"The first reason is that we are too late to let go of contact with the outside world."

"Until then, you just. . . Hiding in the mountains and living an idyllic life? ”

T'Chaka was a little embarrassed, but nodded anyway: "The colonists used to come to Wakanda, but they left quickly, taking the heirloom with them"

"Vibranium?"

T'Chaka nodded: "We have only known for generations that it is a hammer that is extremely powerful and can create miracles, and we never thought that vibranium has other functions, and it was only in the papers published by outsiders that we learned about its characteristics." ”

The corners of Lille's mouth twitched - it was probably a small piece of vibranium in the Wakanda of this world, which was the conclusion he had recently reached.

This piece of vibranium has been passed for a long time, and was last seen during World War II, on a war mech in the Roaring Commando, the Hydra Stomper.

With the decryption, it became known from some top-secret reports that it was a material with a powerful energy source

And in the hands of the royal family of Wakanda, it is a magical hammer, symbolizing imperial power, which has been wielded by the royal family for generations.

It's a pity that the king, armed with a hammer, did not block the bullets of the colonists.

Therefore, without scientific thinking, holding treasures in hand may not be effective.

Of course, to say this is to pour salt into T'Chaca's wounds.

T'Chaka continued: "The colonizers brought a tragic past to the land, and my father, my father, thought that these rich lands would bring trouble, so he closed them into the mountains. ”

Then they are out of touch with the world - if there is a lot of vibranium, Wakanda can develop its own technology, but in this world, they are still free of food and clothing, but only food and clothing.

The funny thing is that the colonists didn't even notice the fertility of the land, because they burned it all and left, busy disposing of the vibranium.

After all, plantations in the mountains of Wakanda are quite cumbersome to transport.

"After I took the throne, unlike my father, I began to explore the outside world, seeing the situation of our compatriots, I decided to get involved in outside politics, and then there was the African Union.

We try to mine minerals and develop industries, but starting from the most basic raw material extraction, the outside world only sells us the most backward machinery and technology.

Unfortunately, the cost of mining is high and the risks are very high, not only in terms of production, but also in the face of attacks by terrorists and some warlords.

I don't know how they did it, maybe it was advanced geological exploration technology or there were ghosts, but they always found our mines. ”

Accurate positioning, advanced firepower, months or even years of hard work burned in a single attack are really shocking.

Countries that are not already rich have made matters worse.

So T'Chaca's posture is very low, and Lille is not aggressive.

Infrastructure, public safety, health care, housing and other areas with little technical content will be left to the Wakanda government to do it themselves, and Lille will not squeeze the market for low-end industries, nor will it engage in large-scale land annexation, and use financial means to force the government to exchange power.

In exchange, the special status of the Atlas Group will be established, a license to develop private force, a large number of green lights in policy, international endorsements, and so on.

It's hard to say which side benefits more, but for now, it's a win-win.

T'Chaka was silent for a while, and continued: "But we still have some stable minerals, such as tin, tantalum, nickel, cobalt, and other commonly used industrial minerals that can be mined, but the cost is relatively high. ”

This high cost is a problem brought about by the all-round backwardness of mining and smelting technology.

The African Union is not prone to large-scale famine due to the food supply in Tcacca, so it is basically stable, and it has not sold its land resources to foreign companies at will.

The political costs that have not been left in excess are also used for border security, and some of them are still uncontrollable.

This is relatively good news, because this kind of industrial technology Lille himself has a good technical literacy, and the team behind him is also very high in terms of materials and machinery.

Having a material basis means that going to Africa will not be too embarrassing.

There is no problem with technological upgrading, the key is whether the education level of the people on their side can keep up.

After thinking about it, Lille said: "These are not problems, but I have a doubt, how many engineers do you think the entire African Union can provide with sufficient qualifications?" ”

T'Chaka scratched his head in embarrassment: "I believe that our compatriots have quite a few qualified engineers in the global number, but in Africa"

"It's definitely going to affect the pace of development, and I have a proposal." "Do you have a tech department?" ”

"Yes, though."

"Yes, it's a skills teaching method for brain-computer interfaces and virtual reality, and I want to add one to our medical cooperation contract to promote brain-computer interface technology.

The use of brain-computer interface and supporting teaching methods can greatly improve the teaching efficiency and quickly improve the quality of workers. ”

"This" T'Chaka frowned as he watched Lille pull out a stack of hard drives.

Wakanda does have its own science and technology department, which has contributed a lot of advanced agricultural technology, and the science and engineering literacy is still enough.

The brain-computer interface of the International Genetic Partnership has caused an uproar in the scientific community, and they certainly know it.

And what the Ministry of Science means is: this thing is powerful, but it's also dangerous.

Seeing the expression on the old king's face, Lille had a little more judgment in his heart, and continued: "You can take the hard drive back and look at it.

It's important that I can open source the technology to you, otherwise I might hire more foreign labor to keep pace with the pace of development.

This may have some unwanted impact on our cooperation. ”

Open source?

T'Chaka was stunned, he knew it.

How can there be a technology monopoly when it is open source?

The point is that the African Union, which is wary of businessmen, or so-called "capital", is under pressure to accept a more moderate type of capital into Africa.

But a better businessman is not also a businessman?

This once again refreshed T'Chaca's perception of Lille, but he didn't expect Lille to be willing to open source such a key technology.

Brain-computer interface thinks of the Ministry of Science and Technology's evaluation of this technology, and it is false to say that it is not tempting.

The table fell silent, and soon the old king made his choice.

"I need to bring the information back and discuss it with my advisor."

"Absolutely." Lille nodded happily.

This decisive reaction convinced T'Chaka that Lille was not playing tricks.

So the food didn't smell good, he grabbed the hard drive, looked at it deeply, stood up, and looked at Lille and Maya, with his right hand on his chest, and bowed his head slightly.

"Looks like I've got to leave first, I'll get back to you as soon as I can—madam, thank you for the meal you prepared for us, I have to go first."

A king's thanks, Maya was a little overwhelmed, but when she saw Lille nodding calmly, she sat silently in her chair and did nothing.

When T'Chaka left here, Maya breathed a sigh of relief and tapped Lille on the head: "Why didn't you tell me first that a king would be a guest?" ”

Lille spread his hands: "Mom, what's wrong with the king?" Is the king superior? It's modern society now, we're partners, not what.

The relationship between the king and the serfs. ”

Maya still felt a little incredible.

It's like seeing a legend from a kid – being a Latvia, things like "king" and "president" are too oppressive.

In a sense, the king is even more powerful than the president in her heart.

She shook her head and gently stroked Lille's back: "Son. Talking to the king must be stressful, right? ”

Lille stuffed a piece of rib into his mouth, and his words were a little slurred: "That's it." ”

Looking at him like this, Maya suddenly smiled: "The man is a big ghost, the king's partner?" Isn't that the same level as the king?

If you are also a king, I will be the queen mother, and your grandfather seems to have said that our ancestors have noble blood."

Maya began to think in fragments, telling all the things that she had often fantasized about when she was a child, what was one day approached by a nobleman, and then returned to the big manor to become an heir or something.

As for Lille - to become king?

Never thought about it.
