Alvin looked at the few "profiteering" scientists with contempt and said, "Are you people human or ghosts?
Is Vibranium really that amazing?"
Dr. Yinsen rubbed his bald head and counted off on his fingers. "It's one of the hardest metals known to exist in a refined form...
It also has a whole range of outstanding properties, including energy absorption, superconductivity, and malleability.
Apart from its limited supply, Vibranium is beyond reproach.
If there were hundreds of billions of tons of Vibranium, the world would definitely be a very different place. Too bad it can't be replicated...
A few thousand or even ten thousand tons of Vibranium wouldn't mean much to the world as a whole, but it's extremely valuable to people like us."
Stark nodded in agreement. "I don't need much Vibranium. Just a little would be enough for me to build the core of a Quantum Computer.
Compared to the long process of designing and testing, Vibranium would make everything much simpler.
Of course, maybe this stuff can't serve everyone, but we're not Ordinary People, are we?"
Ivan nodded for once. "I designed a brand-new force-field generator, but I ran into a problem with the materials.
There are too many despicable people in this world. I need a little insurance."
Alvin watched the group make no effort to hide how much they wanted someone else's belongings and sneered, "Look at Dr. Banner. Do any of you still have even a shred of a scientist's dignity?"
Dr. Banner, the one who'd been called out, meekly raised his hand. "If we really can get some, could I have a little too?
Vibranium's energy-absorbing properties are fascinating. Its molecular structure can't be replicated, but it has a lot of potential to inspire new ideas..."
Alvin was momentarily stumped. Then he pointed at
