Chapter 1992: Lighting the Wondrous Dream in the Heart (Part 22)

Orlando Disney Hollywood Studios is the smallest of the four parks, but it can also be called concentrated essence. The entire park gathers many popular movie IP projects, and most of the projects are relatively exciting, so it is very popular with young people.

Walking through the boulevard, you can see a huge Mickey magic hat, which is bright blue-purple as a whole, dotted with stars and moons, and has the most classic Mickey gloves.

The structure of the four parks in Disney World is about the same. They are all a main road leading to four or five areas. Main Street in the Magic Kingdom was replaced by a boulevard in Hollywood Studios.

Because Steve and Schiller's team had to wait for Black Panther T'Challa, they didn't squeeze in at the first time the park opened, but watched a show under the Mickey magic hat stage for a while.

The Hollywood area also has a major feature, that is, many of their programs are performed by comedians who have not yet become famous. There will be special competitions here, and even tourists can perform impromptu.

The magic hat stage should be rehearsing the formal program at night now. Although the actors have changed into costumes, because of the lack of lighting and music, there is really nothing to see.

Fortunately, T'Challa came quickly, and what surprised the group a bit was that the mutant Storm Ororo came out of the portal with him.

Steve immediately walked up and patted T'Challa's arm, smiling at him and saying, "I heard you got engaged recently? When do you plan to hold the wedding?"

T'Challa also showed a hearty smile. Ororo walked up and said a bit helplessly, "Look, I said that as long as we announce the news of the engagement, everyone will ask this question, and it is repeated without stopping."

"Actually, it will take a while." T'Challa answered truthfully, saying, "The wedding process of the Wakanda royal family will be very complicated, because we have to coordinate the free time of the tribal chiefs, and we have to sacrifice to the Panther God during the wedding. It is a very complicated and long process..."

"And the Munroe family also has many taboos in terms of weddings." Ororo opened his mouth and said, "I must listen to the opinions of my relatives to prevent some behaviors of the two of us from angering the gods on both sides."

Steve shook his head and said, "I originally thought the wedding ceremony of Catholicism was troublesome enough. Carter was still telling me about this two days ago. He fell asleep three times in the church when he went to attend his cousin's wedding."

"I certainly have experienced it too." T'Challa pursed his lips and smiled and said, "However, although the wedding process in Africa is relatively cumbersome, most of them are enthusiastic. Many times, guests are required to participate, and they won't make you too bored."

"It seems it won't be long, right?" Schiller also said.

T'Challa and Ororo both responded with smiles, and finally they said, "If it is confirmed, we will send invitations to you for the first time. Just give it to Nick, right?"

"He will go crazy." Steve's group started to enter the park, and he said while walking, "This time Disney reimbursed all the tour expenses, so he was willing to give us such a long vacation."

"Then it seems I have to prepare more souvenirs."

"Compared to souvenirs, he might prefer the box of souvenirs to be made of vibranium." Schiller shook his head lightly and said, "Since the price of vibranium has started to soar again, his eyes when looking at Steve's shield are a bit wrong."

Steve laughed in a low voice, patted the shield he was carrying, and said, "Don't think we don't know, Nick took advantage of the lowest price of vibranium to acquire a large batch of scattered goods on the market. He is unwilling to sell now just because he thinks it can still rise."

T'Challa's face was full of red light when he mentioned this. Since molten steel impacted the vibranium price market, causing the international price of vibranium to drop significantly, and then affecting Wakanda's international status, S. H. I. E. L. D., the Spear of Heaven, Stark Industries, the Wakanda royal family, and even mutants have taken various measures to coordinate as much as possible.

Many civilian enterprises originally thought that large-scale mining of molten steel would completely replace vibranium, but S. H. I. E. L. D., Stark Industries, and mutants reached an agreement to control the mining volume of molten steel and tighten the conditions for civilian molten steel procurement.

At the same time, Wakanda no longer hid it, slightly relaxed some vibranium exports, and reached direct agreements with companies with large demand to provide them with stable raw materials.

Most civilian enterprises found that although vibranium is expensive, the procurement difficulty is low, and the supply is stable, which is more conducive to long-term production, which made the international vibranium price recover slightly.

Then there is the propaganda in terms of culture. Vibranium is actually similar to gold in nature. It is an object from outside the sky, and the Earth itself cannot produce similar minerals.

The physical strength of vibranium is far better than gold, and its chemical stability is not low. It is a necessary raw material for the production of many precision equipment. Although its appearance is not as good as cut diamond, its stock is rarer than diamond, and it is also rarer.

The turning point occurred when Asgard built the God King's crown. S. H. I. E. L. D., the Spear of Heaven, and Asgard cooperated to hype it up. The general idea was that the Lord of the Nine Realms searched for strange treasures in the Nine Realms and wanted to use the nine most brilliant gems to build the God King's crown.

This triggered a great discussion among the people. Everyone was thinking about which metal could represent the Earth. Finally, the cosmic twelve-category planetary mineral distribution overview published by Stark Industries made ordinary people who had never left the surface understand that diamonds are actually not rare.

Basically, on various planets, the more precious ones will not be the minerals that the planet itself can produce. Most of them are one-time objects from outside the sky that will become sought-after precious metals, and even become planetary currency like gold.

And Earth's particularly lucky place is that vibranium seems to be a wandering metal in the universe, without any planet of origin, and Stark deduced that vibranium is likely to come from the core of a planet that has disappeared in a collision or explosion, because only the pressure of a whole planet can forge such a dense substance.

At the same time, the sound-absorbing property of vibranium may be a special property produced after the dense core suffered some kind of cosmic radiation, which can be said to be a coincidence among coincidences, a low-probability event among low-probability events.

In this way, the voice of vibranium became higher. On one hand, this greatly stimulated human superiority. After all, the universe is so big, and this material happened to fall on Earth. Other universes don't have it, which is much more high-end than the minerals that can be mined on the planet.

On the other hand, if it is also rare in the universe, then taking it out is not embarrassing. If what is taken out is diamond and gold, and it is seen by aliens who produce these two minerals on their home planet, wouldn't they feel that the God King is wearing their floor tiles on his head?

So vibranium logically became the ninth gem on Thor's crown, and then people found that after the forging of the dwarves, this metal, which was originally only used for industrial materials, also radiated unique beauty.

For a time, vibranium's reputation in the collection circle rose greatly.

And because not everyone has the technology to forge this metal, it is even more sought after by rich people who pursue rarity. Wakanda established a vibranium jewelry production center overnight. T'Challa and Ororo have been wearing full sets of vibranium jewelry at various important events recently.

"We are recently planning to cooperate with the dwarves." T'Challa said to Steve and the others while walking inside: "Their forging technology is indeed unexpected, which makes us feel the vastness of the universe and the wonder of life even more."

"Another reason why our wedding time cannot be determined is that we hope to take this opportunity to show the beauty of vibranium to the world."

"No longer stingy with exports?" Schiller smiled and teased.

T'Challa shook his head and said: "The policy that my father held on to a little precious resource and felt that Wakanda's status could not be shaken is fundamentally unsustainable. The gift given to us by heaven should have brought us greater benefits, not to that group of vibranium traffickers."

"It's hard to imagine how you convinced your father." Steve sighed and said: "Howard once told me that the hardest part of making this shield is not design or forging, but getting such a large piece of vibranium raw material is simply as difficult as ascending to heaven."

T'Challa looked down at the shield in Steve's hand and said: "To be honest, it is impossible for Wakanda to export such a large piece of vibranium in that era. This should also be the credit of the vibranium traffickers."

Hearing their conversation, Schiller paused. He turned to look at Steve and said: "Howard told you this shield is made of vibranium?"

T'Challa and Steve were both stunned. Steve nodded and said: "When he handed this shield to me, I asked about the material, and he told me it was made of vibranium."

"Later, I found that this shield has many powerful functions when I use it, such as being able to completely eliminate the impact brought by the fall, being able to absorb huge kinetic energy, and there is no upper limit measured yet, and it can also absorb sound waves. Aren't these all characteristics of vibranium?"

T'Challa also nodded and said: "Vibranium, also known as sound-absorbing steel, has very special properties. The electrons in the material do not move at all, causing the molecules to always be in a state of 0 Kelvin, resulting in a lack of movement on the molecular scale. Therefore, vibranium does not transmit force in physics at all, so it can almost completely absorb kinetic energy and never wear out."

Schiller actually knew that Captain America's shield is a vibranium alloy, and the raw material was not manufactured by Howard Stark, but by a materials science doctor named MacLean. When he was resting in the laboratory, he accidentally mixed many materials to create a mysterious alloy.

The properties of this mysterious alloy are even more peculiar. It makes vibranium more flexible and becomes a super-elastic alloy, and this alloy should be the original Adamantium.

However, Schiller didn't point it out, because if a battle with the theme of Star Wars really happens next, T'Challa, who is most often in contact with vibranium, will definitely find that the properties of Captain America's shield are not exactly the same as vibranium.

They are already very eager to hype vibranium. Once they find that the vibranium alloy has superior properties to vibranium, the value of vibranium will undoubtedly rise greatly again.

More importantly, if you can possess a superior vibranium alloy material, then vibranium has the advantages that molten steel does not have, which means it will not be replaced by molten steel.

Schiller guessed that Howard chose to hide the original Adamantium at that time because he didn't want to encourage the trend of Wakanda sitting on the ground and raising prices. The old king of that year was determined to be a resource-dependent country. If they realized the greater value of vibranium alloy, the price of vibranium would definitely soar again.

However, T'Challa seems to be actively transforming and keeping up with the pace of cosmic exploration, so perhaps more in-depth development of the material properties of vibranium is more beneficial than harmful to human industry. ===== CHAPTER 1993 =====
