Who's the Scientific Deadweight Now?

Before long, the three of them kept heading downward and arrived at a laboratory lined with pure white walls. Though the facilities here could not compare to Hydra's, plenty of people were busy at work.

Klaw disappeared after coming down, while Laudsen led Shen Fei into one of the laboratories. Inside, three bald middle-aged men were engaged in a heated discussion.

There were also several people listening in from both sides.

After entering, Laudsen shouted, "Everyone, stop for a moment."

The people who had been arguing fiercely all stopped and looked toward Laudsen.

The bald man in the middle laughed loudly. "What did you rush out for just now?"

"I already told you to tell the boss that this problem is difficult to solve. Even the people at the Highest Academy would need some time, let alone us."

"Is that someone you just recruited behind you? No need. This bunch of trash can't solve anything. They can only do grunt work. What's the point of bringing in so much scientific deadweight?"

Modena, the gaunt-faced man with a beard among the three, sneered.

Laudsen shook his head. "This yellow-skinned monkey says he can help us solve our problem. The boss told me to bring him over and let him try."

"What kind of joke is this? You're letting someone who has never even touched our research solve this problem?"

"Laudsen, do you think this is some game? A shit-stirring game?"

"You yellow-skinned monkey, get the hell out of here. Don't waste our time!"

The three of them laughed and chimed in one after another. Laudsen said, "The boss ordered it. If he can't solve it, this guy loses his life!"

"Oh my, oh my, he's gambling with his life?"

"Come on, then. Figure this stuff out first."

Modena flung the papers in his hand before Shen Fei and sneered. "Do you need ten years to look through them?"

By then, Shen Fei's fingers were already rapidly flipping through the pages. He read at an astonishing speed, practically skimming ten lines at a glance. Before long, he had finished the research records.

"Your problem is that after Vibranium absorbs sound waves, you can't find a corresponding medium to transmit them through?

"You want to create something that uses Vibranium to absorb sound waves from the outside, then releases shockwaves of specific frequencies and wavelengths?

"Something capable of causing immense damage?"

In less than half a minute, Shen Fei had already figured out what the laboratory was researching. Moreover, he was familiar with it.

Even Shen Fei remembered it.

In the MCU universe, Klaw was merely an ordinary Vibranium Dealer. Though he had learned some technical skills, he was no match for true professionals.

But in other timelines, Klaw was also a top physicist. With the Vibranium he had obtained from Wakanda, he developed a powerful Sonic Weapon and even killed T'Challa's father.

It seemed that Klaw in this timeline had the same ambitions.

But judging from how things developed—

He probably had not succeeded in the end and had even been killed by his ally, Eric Killmonger.

The people who had been watching the joke were instantly stunned. Shen Fei had described everything exactly right. The key was that this yellow-skinned monkey had finished reading it in under half a minute and had even identified the problem?

"At present, it seems you have a molecular calculation that you can't solve..."

Shen Fei shook his head. Ignoring their stares, he walked over to the laboratory equipment and began operating it. Laudsen wanted to stop him, but Klaw's voice came through his earpiece.

"Let him do it!"

With one hand, Shen Fei worked through calculations. With the other, he flipped through the experiment records scattered across the workbench. Very quickly, he used up an entire stack of paper.

This was far easier than the Super Soldier Serum. Besides, they had so much experimental data. With Shen Fei's current brainpower and calculating ability—

He could easily identify the most suitable calculation range from the massive amount of experimental data.

The issue was simply that the proportion of Vibranium to the other metals was incorrect. If the Vibranium content was too high, its properties became too dominant, and all the absorbed sound waves were canceled out.

But if the Vibranium content was too low, its properties could not be utilized.

They had never been able to determine the material composition and ratio.

The human eye was not a computer, and computers currently lacked that capability as well. It required an extremely precise ratio, one that could only be obtained with vast amounts of data and someone who understood Vibranium's properties.

At the moment, only Shen Fei possessed that ability.

"Give it a try."

Shen Fei casually handed a stack of papers to a technician and smiled.

"What kind of joke is this? Does he really think he can bluff us with that?" At first, Laudsen had seen Shen Fei's extremely serious expression and movements, as well as his highly methodical experimental procedures.

He had genuinely thought this guy had some skill.

But calculating the optimal materials and ratio that quickly was nothing but a joke.

Hearing Klaw's words, Modena came back to his senses as well and sneered. "You yellow-skinned monkey, you might as well die. This isn't something you're qualified to touch."

"Try it!"

At that moment, Klaw's voice rang through the laboratory. In the monitoring room, Klaw spoke.

Just moments ago, he had received word from the men he had left behind elsewhere. His safe house had been raided by Hydra.

They had even deployed some terrifying people who jumped from a fighter jet in midair and landed without a scratch.

When they found the house empty, they eventually blew it up as well.

Anyone capable of making Hydra go to such lengths was certainly no ordinary person.

Since that was the case, he might as well let him try. Top scientific talent was valuable anywhere.

If Shen Fei truly possessed such ability, if he was a genius comparable to Stark—

Then Klaw would make a fortune. He could even seek out Wakanda, or get revenge on Ultron, who had now become Vision.

The technician who had taken Shen Fei's data heard that even the boss had said so and began the attempt.

After several operations, the melted Vibranium and three other metals soon began to mix under everyone's gaze.

Before long, a special, thick slurry appeared before them.

At that moment, Shen Fei suddenly pressed the cooling control, and a massive blast of cold air poured in.

"Are you insane? Cooling it immediately at such a high temperature will make it crack!"

Laudsen roared. This guy knew nothing and was just causing trouble.

Shen Fei merely smiled faintly without saying a word.

As the cold air dissipated, a spherical metal object soon appeared before everyone. It looked exceptionally beautiful.

"Try it."

The technician hurriedly took it for testing. A delighted smile soon appeared on his face. "It worked! It absorbs kinetic energy, then releases and rebounds the stored energy.

"The frequency can be controlled through varying electrical currents..."

"So, who's the scientific deadweight now?"

Shen Fei looked at Laudsen, whose expression had drastically changed at the word "worked," and smiled.
