Not Enough Materials?
After his trip to Asgard, Xia Yu failed to accomplish his goal of beating up Loki and instead caused a lot of trouble. Upon returning to Earth, Xia Yu once again buried himself in researching his Armor and how to use Aether to transform it in various ways.
An Aether directly upgraded Xia Yu's equipment to the top level, but the equipment of the other Avengers encountered problems.
The issue is with the materials.
The remains of the Asgard Destroyer that Xia Yu had previously kept were made of an unknown metal, whose strength was definitely no less than Vibranium. Later, Xia Yu also obtained some Uru Metal from Odin.
But even all of these things combined weren't enough to build their spaceship, let alone everyone's equipment.
"These are Infinity Stones, the Space Stone, and the Power Stone, but we don't have enough metal. I can't add a lot of ordinary alloys. Our goal is a spaceship that can fight against any fleet!"
Tony came to see Xia Yu and brought up the issue of materials.
"So what do you mean?" Xia Yu asked knowingly.
"We need more special metals, like the Destroyer's remains or more Uru Metal." Tony wanted Xia Yu to go to Asgard and get some more.
Xia Yu rolled his eyes. "Do you think these things are wholesale?"
"Stark, Asgard is gone. All the stockpiles are here. There are no more than five weapons made of Uru Metal in all of Asgard. There are no more. The materials for the Destroyer were the only one available, and that's gone too."
Thor quickly stepped forward and spoke up.
Tony looked at Xia Yu, Xia Yu nodded to indicate that Thor was right.
"Why don't you use materials from Earth? I think the Captain's shield is no worse than my hammer," Thor retorted.
"First of all, the Captain's shield is unique. It was created by my father by accident. In fact, he didn't have the original metal formula. The shield is made of Vibranium mixed with other metals. Putting aside the formula, the Vibranium in it is the only one of its kind in the world. It was extracted from a meteorite."
Tony felt disappointed, as any alloy made from existing metals and other materials could be quite strong.
However, it is far inferior to most products made of special metals.
However, if there is too little material and too much ordinary material is added, it is no longer called an alloy, but dilution.
A spaceship built with two Infinity Stones —if the outer shell doesn't match, it's like putting a top-of-the-line engine on a plastic body. Putting aside whether it's functional or not, it's just frustrating.
But when Tony mentioned Captain's shield, Xia Yu's eyes lit up. Even though Black Panther hadn't appeared yet, that didn't stop him from taking the initiative to visit him.
"Tony, what if there was still plenty of Vibranium on Earth used in Captain's shield?"
Xia Yu is planning to make a trip to Wakanda.
Although Klaue is still at the Salva Mega Pier in Africa, where he also has Vibranium, the quantity is far too small. It's better to leave it for Ultron to build his body; Vision is waiting for him to build it.
"How many do you mean? We need enough of them. I guarantee our spaceships are weapons in themselves." Tony was getting impatient.
If there were enough Vibranium, let alone using the Infinity Stones as energy to fire, even a direct ramming would be too much for most spaceships to withstand.
"More than enough, I guarantee it will exceed your expectations," Xia Yu said casually.
In Africa, in Wakanda, Xia Yu didn't hack in directly using a portal this time. Instead, he formally had Peggy convey the Avengers' desire to see Wakanda's natural scenery to the King of Wakanda, T'Chaka, the current Black Panther, United Nations the United Nations.
Although T'Chaka (who took a long time to confirm the old king's name) was very puzzled, he could not refuse outright, so he agreed to the request.
Xia Yu brought Tony and Banner along this time, and even brought Captain back. Given Black Panther's different feelings for Captain America later in the movie, the two should get along very well.
Natasha was originally supposed to come too, but Xia Yu remembered how he first met Natasha at the United Nations when Captain America: Civil War America: Black Panther appeared, and how she looked at him with such goodwill. So Xia Yu decided to leave Natasha at the base.
"Xia, are you sure Wakanda is like what you said? I mean, they've hidden their civilization from the whole world, a civilization that's many years ahead of the rest of the world?" Banner asked, still somewhat incredulous.
The problem is that Wakanda has gone too far in its pretense over the years. Hiding its wealth and civilization is one thing, but consistently being one of the poorest countries in the United Nations hierarchy—is it really necessary? Isn't this just a way to fraudulently obtain international aid?
Believe me, brother, the truth is far more shocking than I've described.
Xia Yu recalled the futuristic city of Wakanda from the movie and spoke with great confidence.
"Then how did you know the true situation in Wakanda?" the Captain asked, puzzled.
"As you all know, after the Battle of New York, I absorbed the energy of the Tesseract and flew around aimlessly for a while. On one occasion, I even came to the hidden Wakanda. At first, I thought I had come to an alien planet."
Xia Yu told a lie.
No one suspected anything. They knew that Xia Yu had wandered around Earth several times. They didn't just think that Xia Yu was leaving messages on Earth. On one occasion, Hawkeye saw a video of an elderly Russia man and woman chasing and beating a pervert who broke into a girl's bathroom.
This sharp-eyed guy recognized Xia Yu, who was covering his face, at a glance.
Xia Yu was laughed at by everyone for a long time because of this.
Before they could exchange more than a few words, Xia Star had already arrived in the skies above Wakanda.
Mountains, grasslands, beautiful natural scenery.
No modern buildings, no factories, no cars—this is what Wakanda looks like in the world: a backward, small Africa country that relies on livestock farming.
A three-story stone building, covering an area of only a few hundred square meters, is the apparent palace of Wakanda, and also the location of the government offices.
Xia Star slowly landed on the lawn outside the small building.
King T'Chaka of Wakanda, accompanied by several people, was waiting outside the small building to greet them.
After all, the Avengers have saved the world more than once, so no matter how arrogant Wakanda is, they still have to put on a Kung Fu.
Xia Yu and his crew's spaceship greatly shocked everyone. Anyone with eyes could see that this was no ordinary aircraft, but the Wakanda people only glanced at it a few times and didn't ask any questions.
"I never expected that our remote country would welcome such great Hero: Xia Yu, Tony Stark, Captain America, and this must be Dr. Banner. Welcome to the most beautiful country in the world!"
King T'Chaka warmly welcomed the Avengers.
Xia Yu and the others bowed slightly to the king to express their respect.
"This is my son, T'Challa, the next king of Wakanda. And this lady is my chief bodyguard, Okoye."
The old king introduced T'Challa, who was beside him, and a bald black female guard behind him to Xia Yu and the others.
T'Challa and greeted everyone, while the female guard nodded slightly, a hint of contempt in her eyes.
Xia Yu caught the look in Wakanda's eyes, a look of unique pride that transcended the rest of the world. He said nothing, for Wakanda indeed possessed technological power that surpassed that of the rest of the world.
The Avengers' purpose in coming here was clear, and Xia Yu knew that Wakanda didn't really welcome outsiders, so he didn't want to waste everyone's time and went straight to the point.
"We've come here to discuss something with His Majesty the King. Could you first show us around Wakanda? I mean, the real Wakanda."
Upon hearing Xia Yu's words, the expressions of all the Wakanda people changed, and their eyes immediately became filled with hostility.
