The Mysterious Kingdom of Wakanda
Leaving Tony Stark and Dr. Ethan to continue improving the Iron Man suit in the laboratory, Chen Mo secretly returned alone to HYDRA 'Norway headquarters.
The Third-generation Arc Reactor has been successfully manufactured, using replaceable palladium metal plates to provide energy, resulting in higher energy output efficiency and longer service life.
Moreover, it is very convenient to replace the reactor after the energy is exhausted. All that is needed is enough palladium metal plates. Unlike the Second-generation Arc Reactor, which required building a new reactor after the energy was exhausted.
Meanwhile, the electromagnet in Tony's chest has also been improved, eliminating the need for cable connections and making installation easier. Tony Stark can now replace and install it himself, without Pepper Potts needing to reach into his chest to do it.
A more convenient and efficient energy supply solution has been found, but the rapid deployment system for the combat suits has not yet been completed.
The new rapid equipment mode has significantly altered the suit, requiring the redesign of many modules and the addition of transformation capabilities to meet the requirements of automatic suit assembly. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure the suit's secure connections and overall defensive capabilities.
Although Chen Mo's highly developed brain gives him abilities in thinking, memory, and analysis far beyond those of ordinary people, he is still far behind Tony Stark, the inventor of the Iron Man suit and a genius in weapons manufacturing, in terms of the specific improvements and design of his suit.
The Iron Man suit is a complex system, and making a major overhaul and upgrade to it involves a great deal of complexity.
Each system needs to be modified accordingly, including upgrading the transmission system, rearranging the various modules of the machine body, and making corresponding improvements to the shock absorption and cushioning system and the enhanced composite armor.
All of this requires a very systematic and in-depth understanding of each part of the suit, and the ability to make overall modifications to all systems and layouts as needed.
Currently, the only person capable of doing this is Tony Stark, the creator of the Iron Man suit.
Chen Mo relied more on the vast amount of technological information provided by HYDRA stored in his mind, and the precognitive abilities he gained from knowing the plot.
As long as he points out the shortcomings of the Iron Man suit and directions for improvement, Tony Stark can easily solve these problems.
Unlike any weapon before it, the Iron Man suit has no precedent to follow, and every new feature it adds faces numerous challenges.
Chen Mo can point out shortcomings and directions for improvement, and provide relevant high-end technologies, but the specific design, the overall technological transformation, and the final application of it to the suit all need to be realized by Tony Stark, the inventor of the Iron Man suit, since he is the only one who understands the Iron Man suit best.
It's like a house. Tony designed and built the main framework. Chen Mo knows what the house will look like in the end and can point out its shortcomings, offer suggestions and some modification plans. But to actually modify the main framework, it has to be done by Tony Stark, the original designer.
Of course, once the entire house is finally completed, Chen Mo, who participated in the entire project, will know it inside and out, and there will be no problem in rebuilding it or making some minor modifications.
However, the quick-dressing system was clearly beyond Chen Mo's capabilities. Its design was far too complex and intricate, and it was a field Chen Mo had never encountered before. HYDRA's technology also lacked any information on this topic, so this was something only Tony could handle.
After telling Tony Stark all his ideas about the rapid automated assembly system, Chen Mo left the villa alone.
He couldn't be of much help with what came next; he could leave it to Tony. He had other things to do.
During the previous battle with Obadiah, Chen Mo discovered that Obadiah's left arm, which had been severed by Crossbones Brock Rumlow, was fitted with a bionic Mechanical Prosthetics that could transform into Sonic Cannon.
Chen Mo had seen this robotic arm in a movie.
In another Marvel Super Hero movie, Black Panther, Ulysses Klaue, an arms dealer who infiltrated Wakanda and stole a large amount of Vibranium, was equipped with a prosthetic arm with a Prosthetic Sonic Cannon on his left arm.
According to Chen Mo's understanding of the plot, this Prosthetic Sonic Cannon was modified from a sonic weapon he stole from Wakanda.
At this point, he probably hadn't lost his left hand yet, so the Sonic Cannon was just a weapon to him. The news that Obadiah had lost his left hand clearly gave him a business opportunity. He modified the Sonic Cannon and sold it to Obadiah at a high price, making a hefty profit.
Unfortunately, although Obadiah obtained this powerful Sonic Cannon, he still could not pose a threat to Chen Mo and ultimately could not escape being killed.
But it was because of this that Ulysses Klaue and Wakanda came into Chen Mo's view.
In Norway, at the northernmost tip of the Scandinavian Mountains, dozens of kilometers from the western fjord coast, lies a massive underground base beneath a towering, snow-covered mountain—the headquarters of HYDRA, the Zero Secret Base.
In Chen Mo's spacious office, Chen Mo sat behind his desk, quickly flipping through all the information about Ulysses Klaue and Wakanda that Albert had sent him on a tablet.
Ulysses Klaue's situation was not much different from what Chen Mo knew.
Years ago, Ulysses Klaue infiltrated the mysterious kingdom of Wakanda, hidden deep in the jungle, and stole a large amount of Vibranium from there.
Now, besides smuggling and selling weapons, he spends most of his time searching for and stealing ancient Vibranium weapons with the help of an elite mercenary named Eric Killmonger, and selling the precious Vibranium at high prices.
The mysterious kingdom of Wakanda had actually attracted HYDRA's attention long ago, and Hydra had secretly learned a great deal about them. It can be said that HYDRA is definitely the organization in the world that knows Wakanda best.
Even Ulysses Klaue, who had personally entered Wakanda, knew far less about HYDRA than Wakanda.
In fact, apart from Ulysses Klaue, very few people in the world know that the country of Wakanda exists.
Even those who knew about it only thought it was an extremely poor and backward Africa country that relied mainly on hunting and farming.
Even the Intelligence Department of various countries and the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division were unaware that, hidden beneath its impoverished and backward exterior, the Kingdom of Wakanda possessed technological strength far surpassing that of any other country or organization on Earth, making it the most technologically advanced nation in the world.
According to intelligence obtained by HYDRA, tens of thousands of years ago, a giant meteorite fell to Earth, in the location of present-day Wakanda. This meteorite was composed entirely of Vibranium, forming a Vibranium vein buried deep underground.
Back when the previous Wakanda king was in power, they secretly sold a small amount of the Vibranium they had mined.
The Primary Adamantium Shield that Dr. McMillan used to create Chen Mo, and the Vibranium used in later research on Adamantium, were mostly obtained from them.
The huge sums of money obtained from the sale of Vibranium were used to send the country's elites to developed countries to receive higher education and learn advanced scientific knowledge.
After they completed their studies, they returned to Wakanda and used their advanced knowledge to develop technology with the help of powerful Vibranium.
Over the decades, Wakanda's technology developed rapidly, quickly surpassing all other countries on Earth, especially in Vibranium processing and stealth technology.
They were able to process hard Vibranium into a soft, form-fitting Black Panther suit that maintained excellent flexibility while providing powerful defense.
Using Vibranium, they have developed many advanced technologies, weapons, and equipment.
After other countries developed satellite technology, Wakanda, in order to remain hidden from the world, even concealed the entire country. The developed and modern cities with towering buildings appeared to the outside world as just a primitive jungle. Wakanda has always appeared on the international stage as a poor and backward third-world country.
Wakanda is composed of five tribes, each with its own responsibilities. The Border Tribe are responsible for guarding the kingdom and preventing outsiders from entering Wakanda.
The people of the Border Tribe tribes usually disguise themselves as farmers and hunters, living on the Wakanda border to deceive the outside world and conceal the true nature of Wakanda's wealth and power.
Although they look like a group of backward tribesmen wrapped in blue cloaks, their equipment is actually very advanced.
The cloaks used by the warriors of the Border Tribe to cover their bodies are actually Vibranium cloaks with protective and cloaking functions.
When activated, the cloak forms a powerful energy shield capable of withstanding bullets and bombs.
According to HYDRA's Intelligence Department analysis, Wakanda's technological level surpasses HYDRA's in some aspects. It should be noted that HYDRA's technology has been more than 20 years ahead of the current world, which shows how advanced Wakanda's technology is.
However, if a real war were to break out, Wakanda would be no match for HYDRA. Although they have developed many advanced technologies with the help of Vibranium, HYDRA is no less advanced than them, and in terms of resources and foundation, it is much stronger.
Many of their technologies are based on Vibranium; almost all powerful weapons and advanced equipment have core components made of Vibranium.
The Sonic Cannon capable of launching Shockwave and sonic attacks, the Vibranium cape that activates energy shields, the Black Panther suit, and the aircraft—all rely on Vibranium.
However, Wakanda possesses powerful Vibranium, HYDRA also has the even more powerful Cosmic Cube.
Energy weapons are more powerful than sonic weapons, and the various fighter jets and ships developed using the Cosmic Cube as an energy source surpass Wakanda in quality, performance, combat power, and quantity.
The HYDRA Legion's soldiers are far more skilled in combat than the Border Tribe of Wakanda. Their willpower, conviction, discipline, and combat prowess are unmatched.
Once the Winter Soldier sleeping beneath the base are awakened, they will be able to crush Wakanda, and destroying the country would be a matter of a single night.
