Second Multiverse Travel: Wakanda

Lin Chenran's question plunged Song Xiyun into deep thought.

Did 077 Machinery Military Factory truly have what it took to compete with the other tank factories?

The question kept circling through Song Xiyun's mind.

He drew a deep breath and answered firmly, "I believe 077 Machinery Military Factory is fully capable of competing with other military machinery factories."

Although 077 Machinery Military Factory might not have the same formidable strength as the country's other major tank manufacturers, it was by no means without a foundation.

In fact, 077 Machinery Military Factory had quite a solid foundation and considerable potential.

Especially in recent times, as the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle had sold like hotcakes in the domestic market, 077 Machinery Military Factory had amassed substantial funds. That was undoubtedly an enormously advantageous trump card in their hands.

077 Machinery Military Factory's ample funding was something no other tank factory could match.

Most Third-tier Military Factories in Flame Nation had now fallen into a predicament where they could no longer move forward.

Yet at this very moment, the Flame Nation military announced that it would hold a bidding conference for a Main Battle Tank.

The news was like a shot in the arm.

If they successfully secured the military's order for its latest Main Battle Tank, these manufacturers would be fully revived, and their days ahead would be very comfortable.

After all, the Flame Nation military would purchase no fewer than one hundred vehicles.

Thus, all the major tank manufacturers rolled up their sleeves and threw themselves wholeheartedly into their factories' design proposals.

More than that, every military machinery factory with even a little capability eagerly joined this "feast."

It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and no one wanted to let it slip away.

There was no helping it. Most Third-tier Military Factories were now broke as hell, simply waiting for orders to carry them through this rough patch.

"Old Song, this is exactly what I was waiting to hear!" The corners of Lin Chenran's lips lifted into a faint smile.

Song Xiyun was a clever man. How could he fail to understand the meaning behind Lin Chenran's words? He immediately smiled wryly. "You brat, you're just hoping I'll jump into the pit you dug for me, aren't you?"

Lin Chenran hurriedly waved his hands and put on an aggrieved expression. "Old Song, how could I?"

"How would I dare?"

"There's only one top engineer left at 077 Machinery Military Factory, and that's you. If even you won't take on this task, who else can I turn to?"

Lin Chenran's flattery hit exactly the right spot, immediately putting Song Xiyun in high spirits. A barely noticeable smile appeared on his face as well.

"Fine, fine. Since you've put it that way, wouldn't refusing make me seem heartless?" Song Xiyun sighed in feigned helplessness, though inwardly, he was already overjoyed.

Seeing Song Xiyun take this stance, Lin Chenran secretly rejoiced. However, he did not reveal it on the surface and instead continued flattering him. "Thank you, Old Song. With you taking the field, securing the military's tank order will be as easy as taking candy from a baby for 077 Machinery Military Factory."

Song Xiyun waved him off and chuckled as he scolded, "Enough with the flattery. I'm only reluctantly agreeing this once because you were so sincere."

Lin Chenran naturally understood Song Xiyun's temperament. He knew this senior loved being praised and admired.

So Lin Chenran smiled and went along with him. "Yes, yes, Old Song, you're right. You're the pillar holding up our factory. With you here, any problem can be solved with ease."

In truth, with an old child like Song Xiyun, one had to go along with what he wanted.

It was just like keeping a cat at home. You had to stroke its fur from time to time before it would feel comfortable and happy.

Sure enough, after receiving the task of designing and developing a tank from Lin Chenran, Song Xiyun was incredibly thrilled and excited. At last, there was a military industrial assignment.

He then strode out of the factory director's office with firm, powerful steps.

Thinking back to the enormous success of the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle that 077 Machinery Military Factory had previously designed and developed in Flame Nation's engineering vehicle market, Song Xiyun knew they could not be satisfied with the status quo.

If 077 Machinery Military Factory could successfully design and develop a new Main Battle Tank this time and obtain the military's order, it would be a historic breakthrough.

Not only could it contribute to the nation's defense, but it could also bring the company immense profits.

Furthermore, 077 Machinery Military Factory could launch an export version, enter the international market, and earn money from foreign customers.

After Song Xiyun left, a familiar mechanical voice rang out in Lin Chenran's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have designed and developed the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle, achieving great success in the Flame Nation market. You have been rewarded with one "Multiverse Travel."]

The sudden mechanical voice stirred an uncontrollable surge of excitement within Lin Chenran.

The system had "rewarded" him with another Multiverse Travel.

Thinking back to his previous journey into the world of Doraemon, the three items he had exchanged with Doraemon had not only helped 077 Machinery Military Factory successfully overcome its crisis, but had also given it ample funds.

Now, faced with this rare second chance to travel across worlds, Lin Chenran was filled with anticipation and longing.

Since the system had rewarded him with an opportunity to travel to other worlds, Lin Chenran naturally would not miss such a rare chance. He had to strike while the iron was hot.

Thus, Lin Chenran gave his assistant detailed instructions about several matters.

He also specifically told him not to let anyone come disturb him.

Once all the preparations were complete, Lin Chenran could finally begin his personal second journey through the worlds.

A cold mechanical voice devoid of any emotion suddenly rose slowly from the depths of his mind:

[Does the Host wish to activate Multiverse Travel?]

[Yes or no?]

"Yes!"

Lin Chenran answered without the slightest hesitation.

In an instant, an indescribably powerful force surged toward him like raging waves, making him intensely dizzy.

It was as though the entire world were spinning at breakneck speed. His vision became increasingly blurred, and everything before his eyes seemed to gradually recede into the distance...

When Lin Chenran opened his eyes again, he found that he was no longer in that all-too-familiar office.

He was now in a completely unfamiliar environment, surrounded by dense jungle and towering trees.

Just as Lin Chenran was about to ask the system which alternate world he had traveled to—

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully traveled to Wakanda in the Marvel Universe.]

"Wakanda? No way! Isn't that Black Panther's country in the Marvel Universe?"

Wakanda appeared to be a poor and backward agricultural nation, but it was actually the most technologically advanced country, possessing the unique rare resource known as Vibranium.

"This..."
