"T'Challa, the Marvel Universe you inhabit is far more complicated than you imagine. Not only does it contain all kinds of superheroes and villains, but also gods so powerful they defy imagination.

Lin Chenran gazed calmly at T'Challa, his tone carrying an authority that could not be ignored.

After a brief pause, Lin Chenran continued, "They possess unparalleled power and wisdom."

"Not every powerful being will be willing to speak with you as an equal, like I am."

"Some powerful beings will only interfere with worldly affairs as they please, and may even pose a threat to Wakanda."

"To protect your nation and your people, you must do everything in your power to grow stronger."

"And work to improve the Wakanda Kingdom's technological strength. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to remain undefeated in this world full of crises."

T'Challa listened quietly. He knew that Lin Chenran was speaking the truth.

As the king of Wakanda, he bore the heavy responsibility of protecting his nation and people.

Although Wakanda already possessed advanced technology, he still felt immense pressure in the face of so many unknown challenges.

Seeing T'Challa's thoughtful expression, Lin Chenran continued, "In this world, the poor often gain superpowers through mutation and become stronger; the rich, meanwhile, rely on technology to improve themselves."

"And you, T'Challa, the Black Panther, possess both the immense power brought by mutation and Wakanda's leading technological resources. Logically speaking, your combat ability should not be limited to this."

Lin Chenran's words struck T'Challa's heart like an alarm bell.

He knew full well that he still had a long road ahead of him.

After Lin Chenran finished his last sentence, his figure gradually blurred before finally vanishing from T'Challa's sight.

Leaving T'Challa standing there in utter confusion.

He disappeared?

T'Challa's heart jolted. He could not believe what had happened before his eyes.

He focused his mind and used the Black Panther's power to carefully scan his palace, overlooking not a single corner.

Even so, he still could not find any trace of Lin Chenran.

Had he left?

T'Challa's brows knitted tightly, his eyes revealing a trace of confusion and unease.

After scanning the surroundings several more times, T'Challa finally confirmed that Lin Chenran had left his palace and departed the Wakanda Kingdom.

T'Challa continued to process the information Lin Chenran had just shared.

After leaving the Marvel Universe where Black Panther resided and returning to the real world, the system's mechanical voice rang out.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully completing a transaction with T'Challa, the Black Panther, and obtaining the Marvel Universe's unique Vibranium material.] [Transaction complete!!!]

Lin Chenran took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement.

After returning to his familiar office, Lin Chenran did not hesitate to take out the precious "Vibranium" he had exchanged with T'Challa from the system inventory.

The sky-blue metal rested quietly in his hand, radiating a mysterious glow.

Lin Chenran stared at the Vibranium, his thoughts gradually sinking into it.

He recalled Captain America's indestructible shield and Black Panther's incredibly cool suit, both of which had been forged from Vibranium.

Captain America's shield had, in its early days, been able to withstand almost anyone's attacks without suffering damage.

Even though it was later damaged by Thanos's "giant cleaver," that was still enough to prove how powerful it was.

Moreover, Captain America's shield was not made entirely of Vibranium.

Adding even a tiny amount of Vibranium to the steel of this world might bring earth-shaking changes.

Lin Chenran knew clearly that he could not be sure whether he would ever travel to the Marvel Universe where Black Panther resided again.

Therefore, the Vibranium in his hand would become a nonrenewable and scarce resource.

Next, he needed to thoroughly research the material composition within Vibranium.

He needed to explore whether this miraculous metal could be replicated in this world, or whether a similar but slightly inferior substitute—or even a far inferior one—could be found.

This was an arduous task.

If he truly found a similar material, it would give Flame Nation's steel and military industries wings for takeoff.

If special steel could be produced and used on the Type 59 Tank, wouldn't that be an instant leap forward?

The Type 59 Tank could keep fighting for another ten years.

At the thought of this, a brilliant smile appeared on Lin Chenran's face.

The Type 59 Tank's performance was outdated?

That was only because it had not undergone modifications at the 077 Machinery Military Factory.

Lin Chenran had been determined to analyze the substances within Vibranium, but to his surprise, the system thoughtfully organized its component materials and corresponding synthesis formulas.

"This..."

"Then..."

Lin Chenran was completely stunned.

He had never expected his system to be so powerful and considerate that it could directly analyze the substances that composed Vibranium.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Lin Chenran could not help praising the system. "System, you really are the most reliable buddy!!!"

He focused intently on the Vibranium material report analyzed by the system, but before long, his brows furrowed tightly.

The reason was simple: the substances that made up Vibranium simply did not exist in the current world, much less could they be replicated.

This discovery was like a bucket of cold water dumped over Lin Chenran, plunging him into deep thought.

"Damn!"

Lin Chenran frowned and thought to himself, Something seems to be wrong...

Although I can't completely replicate a special material like Vibranium, through a series of complex studies and experiments, I believe I can definitely create a similar substitute.

Even if it may not be as powerful as Vibranium, its performance will certainly be far superior to the conventional materials currently used on Blue Star.

Lin Chenran murmured softly as he spoke.

At the same time, he swiftly removed, one by one, all the substances that did not currently exist on Blue Star.

Then, he began carefully selecting various existing substances and attempting to combine them ingeniously in different ways.

Second by second, minute by minute, three whole hours passed as Lin Chenran remained completely focused, repeatedly pondering and continuously adjusting the proportions and combinations of each substance.

Finally, hard work paid off—a super-simplified version of Vibranium material was successfully created through his efforts.

This was merely the beginning. A great deal of work still awaited him.

He had to enter the laboratory and physically manufacture this new material;

Then, he would need to conduct comprehensive and rigorous testing and verification on it.

With that thought, Lin Chenran rose from his office without hesitation and strode toward the experimental area of the 077 Machinery Military Factory.

A week passed quietly.

After spending an entire week in the laboratory, Lin Chenran finally made a new breakthrough. He had finally produced the super-simplified special material.

As long as it was added to special steel and titanium alloy, the strength of those materials would receive a considerable boost. In particular, the more that was added, the greater the increase in strength.

Of course, it could not compare to adding Vibranium.
