Rise of an Empire

"You said that a country has hidden a vein composed entirely of vibranium."

Howard's mouth opened wide, looking in disbelief.

Vibranium can be called an important strategic material that changes the world structure. If a country owns vibranium veins, how could it not be known to others?

After all, even if the International will completely cover up the news, they will always use vibranium to develop technology.

"Do you still have doubts about my ability?" The Duke took a leisurely sip of black tea and said lightly.

"No, this news is really shocking. That country is the Soviet Union, France, England, and Germany." Howard excitedly knocked over the black tea in front of him and asked incoherently.

Yamamura Sadako saw that the cup of black tea poured by Howard was about to be poured onto him. She quickly raised her fingers slightly and used her willpower to turn the poured black tea back over.

In the battle with Magneto, although Lao Wan was paddling the whole way, Sadako also made great progress, and is very likely to become the first person with Conrad's superpower to break through the fourth level.

Howard didn't pay attention to Sadako's revealed superpower. His mind was now filled with news about the vibranium vein.

A whole vein of vibranium ore. If this thing is opened up and allowed to be used, Howard is confident that he can build a human space base in his lifetime.

He has a lot of theoretical knowledge that transcends the current world, but he cannot realize it because it is limited by the productivity of the entire world.

Just like the most important part of the material

It only took Howard four months to fully understand the technology tree of the Atlanteans for thousands of years, and he also made improvements. This IQ can be said to be truly shocking.

However, due to material issues, he was unable to mass-produce the shuttle. Using all the resources at hand, he could only build one and put it in the collection room as a tribute.

After all, a person's power is limited. If you are a fantasy or fairy tale protagonist, you can naturally change the world on your own. However, as a protagonist in science fiction novels, Howard relies heavily on the productivity of the entire society.

Half a step ahead is a genius, one step ahead is a madman. Howard is now regarded as a madman by many people, and this is only when he restrains himself.

"No, the vibranium veins are hidden here." Conrad threw it away and smashed the gold paperweight on the table directly into the wall.

"Did you smash it by mistake?" The gold paperweight was firmly embedded in the world map hanging on the wall, but Howard asked with a little doubt after taking a look at it.

That place is Black Africa, the most backward existence in the world. If Antarctica were not inhabitable, the African continent could be called the most barren place in the world.

After all, except for the prairie, there are no decent minerals in that place.

"It's here, Wakanda, a place that the whole world thinks is poor and barren. They have a whole vein of vibranium. All the vibranium in the international market is deliberately exposed by them." Conrad shook his head and considered. Said with determination.

"Black Africans here can maintain such a level of secrecy." Howard still couldn't believe it. Although he was not a pure racist like Conrad, he still had some doubts about the intelligence of black people.

It's simply impossible that those guys who only care about immediate benefits can hide such a formal mineral like vibranium.

"Don't think that there are just a bunch of natives everywhere. The vibranium veins in Wakanda may have been accidentally dropped by a higher civilization during space transportation. The transport spacecraft of that higher civilization should also have fallen together. , although there are just a group of indigenous orangutans everywhere, after thousands of years of research and development, Wakanda's current technological level is even above the world-recognized level." The Duke considered it carefully and gave the information he learned to Speak up.

Wakanda's technological level is obviously higher than the current level of the earth, and according to the data, it seems that they have developed those technologies hundreds of years ago, so Conrad believes that they have obtained the remains and inheritance of a certain advanced civilization.

It's just that the vision and structure of that group of orangutans are limited, so they are obviously a global superpower, but they have been nesting in the black African interior as a local bully.

"I remember that this country seems to be a United Nations refugee rescue target." Howard thought for a while and asked strangely.

"That's right. On the one hand, these chimpanzees have monopolized the world's largest vibranium mine, and on the other hand, they are pretending to be pitiful and defrauding other countries of subsidies." The Duke does not have the slightest fondness for Wakanda, and would like to destroy the country and annihilate it. It will be fun.

But with his current strength alone, it is really impossible for him to eat such a big cake.

And another point is that even if he can really capture Wakanda regardless of losses, Howard still needs help in researching the vibranium and the black technology that may exist in Wakanda.

There is no way, even if the IQ of his three giants should be above 98 in the game, but facing a guy like Howard who obviously cheated and raised his IQ to 110, a gap of one or two points is a huge difference, let alone ten points. The above gap is gone.

If it is force, then as long as it is not an instant kill, you can use the human sea tactic to kill the enemy, but as long as the intelligence does not reach the threshold, it will be useless even if you find 10,000 people.

So after careful consideration for several days, the Duke decided to have a frank talk with Howard.

His target is the entire human race and the entire universe. This bad habit of cherishing one's own broom is completely unacceptable.

As for whether Howard will be morally outrageous and stop him from plotting Wakanda's wealth?

"You said that their technological power is far beyond the current level of the earth, so there is no way for us to swallow it." Howard frowned and thought about it for a long time before speaking.

Although in the eyes of many people Howard is a great inventor, a genius with high IQ and the richest man in the world, and he seems to be a good gentleman.

But did the Duke know that beneath this old boy's hypocritical mask, there was a greedy and bloodthirsty heart hidden.

Unlike Tony, the guy who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Howard has grown from a humble family to his current status step by step.

The first pot of gold in capital is bloody.

With Howard's current status, there is basically nothing worthy of him tearing off the mask of hypocrisy to plan.

But obviously, a whole vein of vibranium ore still exposed Howard's true colors.
