Chapter 2008 Light up the Dream in Your Heart (Twenty-nine)

After the Guardians of the Galaxy left, Steve stopped looking at their backs and turned to Schiller and said, "What's the matter with my shield? Is it really not made of vibranium?"

Stark snorted coldly and was about to say something when T'Challa walked in with Ororo. He smiled at them and said, "What are you talking about? I heard you talking from a distance."

"We are talking about a certain illiterate who thought his shield was just ordinary vibranium." Stark said sarcastically, "I thought it was the genius structure designed by Howard that made his shield so strong."

T'Challa showed a slightly embarrassed expression and asked, "Uh, isn't it?"

In order to promote vibranium before, T'Challa read a lot of relevant historical documents. He found that many people had no concept of this special metal. Some even heard the name of vibranium for the first time because they knew that Captain America's star-spangled shield was made of vibranium.

Wakanda's publicity department has also allocated a large budget to allow Captain America to add a sentence "This is made of the world's hardest metal, vibranium" when introducing his shield.

"Of course not." Stark sighed, and he was not in the mood to mock his good friend. After thinking about it, he said: "Howard is indeed a good scientist, and so is Stark, but he himself admits that he cannot be considered a pure scientist. He is more like a businessman who understands technology."

"At the beginning, the technology of Stark Automotive Technology Group was not all developed by Howard. He bought out a lot of technology from some frustrated or unsponsored scientists. Although it didn't play any role later, it was also the secret of the Stark Group's success."

None of them showed any surprise. In fact, there are very few people like Stark who require that all the technologies of the entire group be invented by him and he is responsible for maintaining and updating them. Most technology groups have one or two core scientists who develop most of the technology, and most of the other technologies are acquired.

"It's not just about technology." Stark shook his head slightly: "For a while, Howard was obsessed with new materials because he felt that the reason why his hover car couldn't fly was the material problem."

"At this time, a down-and-out experimenter McClain found him and said that he had also made a very magical metal with stronger properties than vibranium, a perfect alloy."

"Howard went to his laboratory and found that the scientist named McClain really didn't lie to him. The alloy that McClain showed him had surprisingly strong defensive capabilities and was simply perfect."

"Howard believed that this alloy could solve the safety problem of the hover car very well, so he bought it at a high price. He thought he could analyze the composition and successfully replicate it, but he didn't do it."

"He went back to find the researcher, and found that this was not the case at all. It is the result of McClane's research, but he happened to get it in an accident, and he couldn't replicate it himself. "

"So this piece of metal became a unique vibranium alloy. So far, only Captain America's shield uses this alloy. Haven't you noticed? The defensive ability of this shield can be called magical."

T'Challa became more and more interested, so he continued the topic and asked: "The defensive ability is very strong? How strong is it?"

Steve thought for a while and replied: "Anyway, I jumped from more than 20 floors. As long as the shield lands, it's completely fine. So far, I haven't encountered anything that my shield can't defend against. As long as it can be blocked, it can definitely be blocked."

T'Challa opened his eyes slightly and looked at Stark and Schiller again. The two nodded in unison. They really hadn't seen anything that Captain America stretched out his hand to block but didn't block.

No matter whether it was a physical attack or a magic attack, no matter how fast or how strong the attack was, as soon as Captain America raised his hand, the attack disappeared like a drop in the ocean, leaving nothing behind.

T'Challa frowned deeply. Obviously, he realized that this was not something that could be achieved with a simple Vibranium shield. Otherwise, if every Wakanda warrior had one, wouldn't they be invincible?

Then his heart became excited. Vibranium alloy would work. Vibranium would always be used. Or, if countries and major technology companies knew that there was such a perfect alloy, wouldn't the value of Vibranium rise?

So he looked at Stark expectantly. After hesitating for a while, Stark shook his head and said, "Don't look at me like that. I can't ask Howard, hey, were you really deceived by a poor researcher and bought a unique piece, and you still couldn't figure out its formula?"

"I know Howard." Steve looked at T'Challa and said, "If he really has a way to replicate it, then there can't be only one such shield in the world."

The light in T'Challa's eyes gradually extinguished, but he still had a glimmer of thought and was ready to ask Howard in person.

Schiller sighed and said, "Have you forgotten something? It's the 21st century now, can't you just give them a phone call? What if you can get some clues?"

T'Challa patted his head as if he had suddenly realized something, and hurriedly took his phone from Ororo's hand.

Unfortunately, the fact was just as Stark had guessed. Howard did not really develop the formula of this alloy. He apologized to T'Challa on the phone, and T'Challa could only hold back his disappointment and comfort him that it was okay.

After the call was hung up, the usually gentle king was a little absent-minded, but Schiller spoke at this time.

"If scientific methods are useless, then perhaps the Criminal Investigation Society can play a role."

"Since it is an accident, it must be investigated. What caused the accident? What was in the laboratory when the accident happened? These may all be inferred by humans. When the accident happened, the surrounding things must have the mysterious raw materials of the vibranium alloy, which can greatly narrow the scope of the investigation."

At this time, Schiller also took out his mobile phone. Several people didn't know who he was going to call. Schiller dialed the phone and said a few words before hanging up. After a while, Bruce and the other two appeared in the restaurant.

Schiller briefly explained the situation to Bruce, who stood there thinking for a few minutes and said, "Maybe I know what the key ingredient is."

The others were stunned.

Bruce began to reason from the beginning.

"First, we need to analyze the researcher McClane. From his behavior, we can know that he once had a certain reputation in the academic world and his professional level was relatively strong, but he may have fallen into some trouble, which led to his reputation plummeting and then he fell into disgrace."

"Wait, why is that?" Steve interrupted him and asked, "You are from another universe. It is impossible that you have heard of this person named McClane? How do you know the process of his downfall?"

Bruce shook his head and said, "Of course I can't have heard of the scientists in your universe, but this is obvious."

"Stark Group, oh, it was called Stark Automotive Technology Company at that time, it should not be a small company, right?"

The other people looked at Stark, Stark frowned slightly, but still said, "The Stark Group at that time was not as powerful as it is now, but it was also a leading enterprise in New Jersey."

"That's right, I guess your father is also a well-known scientist."

"His fame in Playboy magazine is much greater than his fame in the scientific community." Stark curled his lips and said, "But at that time he was still young and was considered He is a rising star in the scientific research community, so he is somewhat famous. "

"Then how could a scientist who owns a large company and has advanced technology meet with an unknown researcher? How did McClane impress Howard and enter the Stark Group?"

Several people showed a thoughtful look, and Stark nodded and said, "So you made this inference. Indeed, I heard Uncle Obadiah say that Howard had a bad temper when he was young and was most impatient to deal with beggars. McClane must be very capable to be able to step into his office."

" A good scientist's laboratory, especially his workbench, will definitely not buy a lot of things, even on the way to developing new materials. "Bruce snapped his fingers and said: "Everyone knows that materials science is a matter of luck, and it takes billions of combinations to make some new discoveries." "But geniuses always feel that they are particularly favored by God. They will be firm in the combinations they speculate in their hearts, and try their own ordered combinations in the initial research. " "So what is McClane's ordered combination?" T'Challa leaned forward and asked. "It's not important. What's important is that even if there are only a few raw materials, McClane, a researcher who no longer has sponsors, has no conditions to reproduce them one by one, and Howard feels that he has been deceived by a small researcher, and he can't get his face down, so he certainly won't lower his face to ask McClane what was on his table at the time, so this has become an eternal secret. " "We can't guess everything on the table by guessing, but we can speculate the most likely things to appear on the table according to the possibility. " Several people were confused by him, and only Stark and T'Challa, who are also scientists, could listen to him. "Something that must appear on the table..." Stark said, touching his chin, "Vibranium is definitely one of them. I guess there should be some basic metals, such as iron and copper, which are the most common materials used for alloys."

T'Challa silently wrote down these inferences, and then said, "Maybe there are some chemical reagents used to test the properties of metals."

"These are indeed possible." Bruce nodded, but then he said, "But their possibilities are equal. If so, paper fibers, rubber and glass, and the materials of the laboratory table top have a higher priority than them."

Others were speechless by him, but they had to admit that what he said made sense. Since it was an accident, everything around could be raw materials, including laboratory tables, gloves, glass test tubes, and even paper used for recording. If you keep guessing like this, there will be no end.

"There is something that has a higher priority than all of them." Bruce suddenly said, "That is the vibranium ore, it is the ore, right?"

T'Challa nodded and said, "He can only get the ore, because the smelter will not have any problems under the strict management of the royal family. The only problems may be in the mine and during transportation, so the vibranium dealer can only get the ore."

At this time, Stark suddenly caught up with Bruce's thoughts. His eyes widened slightly and he looked at T'Challa and said, "Does the vibranium ore have associated minerals?"

T'Challa stood up and stood there muttering to himself, "Meteorite... the meteorite that brought vibranium!"
