158 Drawing Blueprints
"What do you think? Our aircraft is very cool, right? Do you want one?"
T'Challa had attended Oxford University in England, so he was very aware of the technological gap between Wakanda and the outside world! He proudly showed off the high-tech aircraft that his country had produced.
He believed that not even a genius like Tony would be able to create such an advanced manned aircraft!
Excluding the Iron Man armor, of course! That didn't really count since it was only a "single-seater" anyway!
"Well, it's alright! I don't think it would take me long to make an aircraft like this. In fact, I could probably make one better than what you have!"
Tony was an extremely prideful person. Even though he was shocked by Wakanda's level of technology, he wouldn't just admit it!
"I think it looks very good! The flight stability is great, and it produces almost no noise. This is a crystallization of incredible technologies!"
Bruce Banner, who had been silent for most of the conversation, finally opened his mouth. He simply couldn't help but exclaim his admiration when he saw such an advanced aircraft!
"I see that we have someone with good taste here! Hello, I am T'Challa, pleased to meet you!"
It seems that T'Challa had only now noticed the man with simple appearance among his entourage.
But you couldn't blame T'Challa for that. In the first place, Banner and Annie didn't really assert their existence, and Li Yue and Tony were the only ones who kept talking!
But T'Challa couldn't ignore when someone was praising the scientific and technological advancement of his country! Therefore, he formally greeted Banner and extended his hand to shake Banner's!
"Hello, I am Bruce Banner. I came here to see the legendary Wakanda, and I must say that it had been a worthwhile trip!"
Banner spoke more gently and politely than Banner. At the very least, Banner knew to save a host's face. He was a good listener and always know what others want to hear—his EQ was really high!
Of course, Banner wouldn't false compliment either. He also had his pride as a researcher.
"Esteemed guests, please, come aboard. We will ride this craft to the weapons and equipment manufacturing facility!"
The landed aircraft opened a hatch on its side, a metal ladder automatically unfolding from it. The old king gestured to Li Yue's group to board the aircraft!
"Thank you for your generosity!"
Li Yue humbly said, before following the king into the aircraft.
After everyone came aboard, the aircraft closed its hatch and ignited its engine, blue flames steadily propelling the craft into the air. After the slow ascent, it suddenly shot at extreme speed!
...
The aircraft closed the distance within a minute, before stopping and slowly landing again!
During the moments spent in the sky, the group witnessed the full extent of Wakanda's capital, Birnin Zana, the Golden City. It was an undeniably modern metropolis, even more advanced than the famous cities of the outside world!
"Your offer, just now, is it still up?"
Tony suddenly whispered to T'Challa behind him, right before disembarking! It seems that he had taken a fancy to the aircraft!
"Oh? What do you...ah! About the aircraft! Sorry, but you're a bit too late!"
T'Challa couldn't help himself and teased Tony, before leaving the billionaire behind!
"Humph, stingy! I can just make it myself!"
Tony inconspicuously fiddled with his wristwatch. He smiled as a string of holographic data scrolled through it, before following the prince!
...
Wakanda's factory was located underground!
Li Yue was surprised that, although the young genius Shuri had yet to lead the technology development, the interior of the factory was more or less immaculate.
Everything operated automatically. The trains continuously transported raw Vibranium ore, which would then be processed into weapons, clothes, and so on! It only required minimal amount of manpower!
Tony and Banner looked around enthusiastically along the way. They still maintained calm expression, but they were absolutely shocked inside their hearts. Once again, Li Yue's words were proven true!
"Master Li Yue, this is our laboratory. What do you think? Not bad, right?"
The old king, who walked in the front all this time, turned around and showed off his lab to Li Yue!
"Of course! As expected from Wakanda! This is an impressive level of technology!"
Li Yue praised sincerely!
"This is our destination. But, before we can begin, you need to decide the form and design for the Vibranium armor yourself! Do you have specific requests?"
The old king led the group into a busy laboratory that looked straight out of science fiction, full of many black people coming and going. There were men and women of all ages in white coats, the contrast somehow feels natural!
The old king beckoned a black man in white coat, giving him a few instructions in Wakanda language. The man then nodded and pressed a device on his arm!
Fwip!
"Whoa, I didn't know you guys have holograms here!"
Tony exclaimed in surprise at the astonishingly familiar scene! It was a technology he was most familiar with!
Rays of light shone and gathered on an empty spot in the lab. They formed a virtual interface, which was used to make blueprints for the Vibranium armor!
Li Yue was naturally familiar with holographic projection. After all, he had used it several times in Tony's villa!
He quickly used the interface to design an armor in the style and specification that he wanted!
Li Yue already decided on the design of the armor, so he only needed to put it into drawing.
...
Li Yue spent almost ten minutes drawing the armor blueprints. Of course, most of his time was spent on drawing the second set of armor!
Li Yue asked the old king for three sets of armor in total.
The first set was a skintight suit, just like Superman—of course, he didn't forget the cloak as well. After all, he would be flying in the air, and the fluttering cloak was a beautiful sight in Li Yue's mind! Unlike Superman's suit, however, this armor was colored black!
Li Yue decided that the color of the cloak was red. He had considered making it gold, but he felt that the extravagant gold color of the nouveau riche was not in line with his low-profile character! Therefore, he should choose a more common red one!
The second set of armor was based on the image of Yang Jian from his childhood memories, played by Jiao Enjun. He already had the suitable weapon, the Trident Halberd, so his outfit naturally had to be in line with Yang Jian's image! It also fit his tastes!
It was a silver armor, decorated with golden dragon-like lines. On top of that was a bright red fur coats.
The blueprints filled everyone with curiosity!
They had never seen such an armor before! It was regal and beautiful, with an air of nobility! It was more beautiful than any armor they had ever seen!
The last set of armor was in the form of casual clothes, based on his current clothing!
It wasn't like Li Yue could just wear full divine regalia everywhere he goes!
