• Old Wei angrily demanded that the military receive seventy percent of the profits, but Lin Chenran refused and warned that the factory could otherwise face bankruptcy.
• Lin Chenran said he could source obsolete tanks from Mao Xiong Country, prompting Old Wei to fall into thought.

Lin Chenran negotiated military cooperation for the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle, seeking a larger share of tank components and support for overseas trade. The military accepted his proposal, agreed to the second cooperation model, and arranged to deliver tanks and station soldiers at 077 Machinery Military Factory.

• Lin Chenran persuaded Old Wei to accept a sixty-forty split, with 077 Machinery Military Factory taking sixty percent and the military taking forty percent.
• Lin Chenran asked Old Wei for an import-export trade license and admitted he hoped to buy scrapped tanks from Mao Xiong Country for resale.
• Lin Chenran proposed hiring retired tank soldiers as after-sales maintenance engineers, and Old Wei praised the plan.
• Old Wei convened a military meeting, where the higher-ups debated the cooperation models and decided the trade license would be easy to grant.
• Less than a day later, Old Wei told Lin Chenran that the military had chosen the second cooperation model, would deliver the first tanks within three days, and would station a company of soldiers around the factory.

After the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle made 077 Machinery Military Factory profitable, the Flame Nation military decided to hold a bidding conference for a new main battle tank. Lin Chenran showed Song Xiyun the proposal, and the two considered whether their factory should bid.

• The Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle won widespread praise and brought a flood of orders to 077 Machinery Military Factory.
• The Flame Nation military debated replacing its retired Type 59 Tanks, then chose to buy some Type 69 Tanks and hold a bidding conference for a new main battle tank.
• Lin Chenran received the invitation for 077 Machinery Military Factory to participate and called Song Xiyun to his office.
• Lin Chenran gave Song Xiyun the document about the new tank project, and Song asked whether their factory would bid.

Lin Chenran persuaded Song Xiyun to lead 077 Machinery Military Factory’s bid to design a new main battle tank. After the factory’s Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle succeeded, Lin Chenran received another Multiverse Travel and arrived in Wakanda.

• Song Xiyun affirmed that 077 Machinery Military Factory could compete for the military’s main battle tank contract.
• Lin Chenran persuaded Song Xiyun to take charge of designing and developing the factory’s tank proposal.
• Song Xiyun left the factory director’s office eager to pursue the military order and the factory’s potential international expansion.
• The system rewarded Lin Chenran with another Multiverse Travel after the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle’s success.
• Lin Chenran prepared to travel, activated Multiverse Travel, and arrived in a jungle in Wakanda.
• The system identified Wakanda as a country in the Marvel Universe, and Lin Chenran recognized it as Black Panther’s homeland.

Lin Chenran infiltrated Wakanda to exchange information for Vibranium, approaching T'Challa shortly before his coronation. T'Challa remained wary and protective of Wakanda’s reserves, leaving the proposed exchange unresolved.

• Lin Chenran learned from the system that T'Challa would become king in three days and received detailed information about the Marvel Universe.
• Lin Chenran disguised himself, entered Wakanda, and infiltrated the royal palace.
• Ramonda comforted T'Challa as he expressed guilt over his father's death and doubts about becoming king.
• T'Challa sensed someone watching him, and Lin Chenran appeared before him in the palace.
• Lin Chenran identified himself as a traveler from another dimension and offered important information in exchange for Vibranium.
• T'Challa questioned Lin Chenran's offer and objected to Vibranium leaving Wakanda, while Lin Chenran insisted he would depart after the exchange.

Lin Chenran used his overwhelming power and a system-enforced transaction to obtain a small piece of Vibranium from T'Challa, while revealing the truth about T'Challa's uncle and Erik. The deal was completed, and Lin Chenran prepared to privately share another important piece of information.

• Lin Chenran demonstrated that T'Challa could not detect his aura unless he allowed it, then explained that he wanted Vibranium out of curiosity and offered to trade for it.
• T'Challa agreed to give Lin Chenran a small amount of Vibranium, and Lin Chenran's system immediately established the transaction.
• Lin Chenran told T'Challa that N'Jobu had betrayed Wakanda, that his son Erik was alive, and that Erik planned to claim the throne and take Vibranium.
• T'Challa resolved to treat Erik as a threat to Wakanda, thanked Lin Chenran for the warning, and handed him a piece of Vibranium.
• Lin Chenran stored the Vibranium in his system backpack, and the system announced that the transaction was complete.
• Lin Chenran decided to preserve his relationship with T'Challa by privately revealing another important piece of information.

After warning T'Challa about the dangers facing Wakanda, Lin Chenran returned to the real world with Vibranium and used the system's analysis to develop a simplified substitute. A week of laboratory work produced a material that could significantly strengthen special steel and titanium alloy.

• Lin Chenran warned T'Challa to strengthen himself and Wakanda, then vanished from the palace.
• The system confirmed that Lin Chenran had completed his transaction with T'Challa and obtained Vibranium.
• Lin Chenran examined the Vibranium and found that its components did not exist on Blue Star, so he devised a substitute using available materials.
• After three hours of adjusting combinations and proportions, Lin Chenran created a simplified Vibranium formula and went to the 077 Machinery Military Factory laboratory.
• A week later, Lin Chenran produced the substitute, which could considerably increase the strength of special steel and titanium alloy.

Lin Chenran reviewed Song Xiyun’s preliminary plans for a new Main Battle Tank based on the Type 59 and supported the approach. He urged the team to choose a more powerful main gun, leaving Song to reconsider their conservative 115mm proposal amid delays to a domestic 120mm cannon project.

• Song Xiyun visited Lin Chenran and showed him the rough blueprints for 077 Machinery Military Factory’s new Main Battle Tank.
• Lin Chenran recognized that the design extensively modified the Type 59 Tank, and Song confirmed that the factory had used its expertise with the older tank as a foundation.
• Lin Chenran endorsed the Type 59-based design and said the factory could export the tank if Flame Nation’s military declined to buy it.
• Lin Chenran argued that the planned 115mm Smoothbore Cannon was inadequate and pointed to other nations adopting larger-caliber guns.
• Song Xiyun explained that 212 Machinery Military Factory’s 120mm Smoothbore Cannon project had stalled for lack of funds, while 077 Machinery Military Factory had chosen the mature 115mm option.

Lin Chenran and Song Xiyun finalized a preliminary Main Battle Tank design, including a 120mm smoothbore cannon and armor made from Lin Chenran’s new Special Steel Material. Song left with the blueprints to refine them before the military bidding conference, while Lin Chenran returned to an overwhelming pile of paperwork.

• Song Xiyun replaced the design’s 115mm smoothbore cannon with a 120mm one, expecting military support to restart the 212 Machinery Military Factory’s stalled project.
• Lin Chenran told Song Xiyun that he had developed a promising Special Steel Material, which could greatly improve tank protection but still needed verification.
• After two hours of discussion, Lin Chenran and Song Xiyun sketched the preliminary Main Battle Tank design, and Song praised Lin Chenran before taking the blueprints back to the 077 Machinery Military Factory.
• Lin Chenran reminded Song Xiyun that only one week remained before the military’s tank bidding conference.
• Lin Chenran tried to clear his paperwork, but his assistant brought in another stack of documents, leaving him frustrated and still at work.

• Lin Chenran and Song Xiyun entered the conference room with Old Zhu, then went to their assigned seats and waited for the military’s arrival.

Old Wei announced strict requirements for the Flame Nation military’s Second Generation Main Battle Tank competition, eliminating most factories before presentations began. The 077 Machinery Military Factory passed the first review, and Lin Chenran looked forward to presenting its proposal last.

• Old Wei outlined the tank’s firepower and protection requirements and said proposals that failed to meet them would not be considered.
• The factory leaders reviewed their proposals, and most discovered they did not meet the military’s standards.
• The first screening eliminated 95 percent of the Third-tier Military Factories, while the 077 Machinery Military Factory remained among fewer than six finalists.
• Old Wei invited the remaining factories to present their proposals and chose to start with one side of the room.
• Lin Chenran and Song Xiyun were left to present last, and Lin Chenran expected the 077 Machinery Military Factory’s tank to impress the room.

Lin Chenran and the Flame Nation military watched several factories present Second Generation Main Battle Tank plans, but the early proposals failed to impress them. Su Yiming of the 625 Machinery Military Factory unveiled a plan using a 120mm Smoothbore Cannon, and doubts immediately arose about whether the weapon could actually be built in time.

• Lin Chenran judged the first factory’s proposal to be little more than a lightly upgraded Type 69 Tank, and military officers appeared dissatisfied.
• The first representative finished to sparse applause, and a second factory’s proposal was also rejected by the military’s lack of interest.
• Su Yiming presented the 625 Machinery Military Factory’s tank plan, which featured a 120mm Smoothbore Cannon and surprised the assembled military leaders.
• A representative explained that the 212 Machinery Military Factory’s 120mm cannon project had made no substantive progress because of insufficient funding.
• Another representative accused the 625 Machinery Military Factory of misleading the military, prompting officers to reconsider the proposal.
