Chapter 1257 Shock

"Black Panther's suit... holographs or nanosuits... and some unnamed black technology... Tony would be thrilled if he were here!" Lin Rui's excitement was evident as he explored the vast laboratory, discovering numerous pieces of technology that piqued even his interest.

The mature nanotechnology in Wakanda, in particular, caught Lin Rui's attention. This was considered black technology, a field Tony had been researching but hadn't quite advanced to this level. 

In the context of upgrading Iron Man suits, nano suits were undoubtedly the best choice. However, when Tony hadn't yet cracked the code, Wakanda had already developed mature nanotechnology. The Black Panther suit itself incorporated nanotech, making it more portable than Tony's Iron Man suit.

However, Lin Rui didn't believe that Tony's continually upgraded Iron Man suit was inferior to the Black Panther suit. Wakanda's Black Panther suit seemed designed to align with their belief in the Black Panther "God." 

It didn't include many heavy-duty weapons systems aside from exceptional defense, energy absorption and reflection, stealth capabilities, and the two vibranium claws.

In other words, the Black Panther suit relied heavily on the wearer's abilities to unleash its full potential. If the person wearing it was only of average strength, the Black Panther suit would serve as nothing more than life-saving equipment. 

Tony's Iron Man suits, on the other hand, were different. Even without a pilot, under J.A.R.V.I.S.'s powerful computing abilities, the Iron Man Legion that Tony had established was more than capable of overpowering any threat.

After experiencing firsthand the incredible powers of individuals, Tony's previous desire to become a superhero gradually faded. It wasn't that Iron Man was no longer a superhero, but Tony had shifted his focus. 

Even with the best genetic enhancement serum, Tony's physical capabilities were merely human and couldn't compare to superpowered individuals like Spider-Man.

So, why not maximize his intelligence and technological inventions, turning the Iron Man Legion into an invincible force? Superpowered individuals were indeed formidable, even approaching god-like status, but who said technology couldn't rival superpowers? 

When technology reaches a certain level, it could create powers akin to those of deities.

"If this mission goes smoothly, I might be able to acquire Tony's nanotechnology directly from Wakanda..." Lin Rui contemplated as he stood in front of different Black Panther suits with subtle differences in appearance.

Lin Rui had always obtained his suits directly from the System Shopping Center. Even if they were damaged, he could repair and upgrade them using Reward points in the System Shopping Center. 

However, although the Phantom Suit boasted formidable defense and auxiliary functions, it lacked nanotechnology and energy absorption and reflection. Therefore, as Lin Rui examined the Black Panther suits before him, he had some ideas.

Then, when no one was paying attention, Lin Rui subtly reached out toward one of the Black Panther suits. He simply wanted to feel the nanotech-infused suit made from vibranium but had no malicious intent. 

Nevertheless, his slight movement didn't escape the watchful eye of the laboratory's intelligent monitoring system.

A low hum!

The moment Lin Rui's fingertips touched the Black Panther suit, an energy fluctuation emanated from it. The energy intensity wasn't high, probably enough to make an ordinary person flinch and retract their hand. It seemed the laboratory's intelligent system intended to teach Lin Rui a lesson.

Swish!

However, just as the energy emanating from the Black Panther suit was about to reach Lin Rui's fingertips, he raised an eyebrow and quickly pulled his hand back. Although Lin Rui had disguised himself as an ordinary teenager, his awareness of his surroundings remained sharp. He didn't want to get an unexpected electric shock.

"It's not like touching it would make me pregnant..." Lin Rui muttered to himself as he retracted his hand, deciding not to examine the Black Panther suit any further.

After arriving in the advanced laboratory, Lin Rui found himself less interested in the upcoming coronation ceremony for Wakanda's new king.

If possible, Lin Rui would have preferred to spend more time in the laboratory, hoping for some additional discoveries.

When Lin Rui and Bucky reunited after exploring the laboratory, T'Challa had successfully persuaded his sister Shuri. Shuri agreed to provide Bucky and Lin Rui with identities that would allow them to participate in T'Challa's coronation ceremony.

"Haha, with my clever sister helping out, Bucky, you'll get to see what our real Wakanda is like!" T'Challa exclaimed loudly, patting Bucky on the shoulder.

As for Lin Rui, who stood beside Bucky, T'Challa intentionally ignored him. T'Challa considered himself fortunate as long as Lin Rui didn't cause trouble during the ceremony. 

Whether it was the upcoming coronation or the previous warrior challenge, there couldn't be any unexpected incidents. If Bucky and Lin Rui's outsider identities were discovered during the ceremony, who knew what might happen?

"Just from what I've seen here, I can already sense the technological advancement of your true Wakanda!" Bucky sincerely expressed his awe.

Since arriving in Wakanda, Bucky had been genuinely astonished. While Lin Rui had encountered a lot of high-tech and even extraterrestrial technology, Bucky had only encountered demons and a few special fallen elves. 

After embracing each other, T'Challa and Bucky welcomed Shuri, who had walked over from behind. Despite her impatience, Shuri had agreed to help T'Challa provide identities for Bucky and Lin Rui.

"Here, take these beads with you and wear the attire of the River Tribe. Cover your face. I'll find you a discreet spot, and as long as you don't cause any trouble, you shouldn't be discovered," Shuri said, her tone showing her reluctance.

Without minding Shuri's somewhat impatient tone, both Bucky and Lin Rui accepted the black beads she handed them. This time, Lin Rui could openly sense the high-tech item from Wakanda.

Following Shuri's demonstration, Bucky and Lin Rui easily attached the black beads to their wrists. Although there were no strings, the black beads naturally adhered to their wrists, offering a comfortable sensation as if they were originally there.

"Let's go, my brother. It's almost time."
