Upon hearing Lin Rui’s additional request, Shuri was not inclined to simply trade Pym Particles for another piece of advanced technology. While the technological value of Pym Particles was significant, possibly even on par with vibranium, Shuri wasn’t about to let Lin Rui’s scheming plans come to fruition so easily.
“Hmph! If you’re willing to reveal the technology that allows for size manipulation first, then I’ll provide you with the corresponding technology. Otherwise, don’t expect to get anything from me,” Shuri responded firmly. She had learned her lesson from giving Lin Rui the nanotechnology before, and now she wasn’t taking any chances.
“Tch, so stingy!” Shuri’s reaction was entirely within Lin Rui’s expectations. After all, he had managed to obtain nanotechnology in exchange for the Ant-Man suit, so he had clearly come out ahead.
For Lin Rui, the various black technologies possessed by Wakanda were undeniably attractive. However, if his current objectives were met, Wakanda could undoubtedly provide significant assistance to his alliance.
Whether it was the abundant reserves of vibranium, Wakanda’s technology surpassing that of the outside world, or the miraculous heart-shaped herb that could turn an ordinary person into a Superman, these were all things that would astonish Tony and Rogers.
After T’Challa had finished interrogating Ulysses, he should have gained some insight into what he wanted to know. Furthermore, T’Challa had learned some information from Lin Rui about N’Jadaka, so he naturally had questions regarding his uncle’s disappearance.
Perhaps T’Challa could also locate the tribe elder who had once worked undercover by his uncle’s side and inquire about what had transpired.
As long as T’Challa managed to uncover what had happened more than two decades ago, regardless of the existence of N’Jadaka, he would make the right choice for Wakanda’s peace.
The next step would be the communication between Lin Rui and T’Challa. A stable Wakanda was what could truly assist Lin Rui and his allies. If Wakanda were in turmoil, it would be impossible to help Lin Rui.
“Do you want to make the exchange? I know you must be very interested in our Wakandan technology,” Shuri asked, even though she had initially wanted to teach Lin Rui a lesson about his stinginess.
“Exchange? Why not! However, if you can truly decipher what I provide you next, then you must share the research findings with me,” Lin Rui replied, adding a serious tone to his request.
Upon hearing Lin Rui’s response, Shuri was momentarily taken aback, not because Lin Rui had agreed to provide her with the technology for size manipulation first, but because of his subsequent words.
It seemed that he might not possess the knowledge of how to use that particular technology. This was intriguing. Could there be a technology that someone knew how to employ but didn’t understand how it worked?
“Fine, I agree,” even though she had her doubts, Shuri agreed to the terms.
Subsequently, Shuri began to examine the small vial of Pym Particles. Given Wakanda’s technology, Lin Rui believed that Shuri would likely unravel the secrets of Pym Particles fairly quickly.
Perhaps she would even manage to replicate new Pym Particles. If that were the case, Lin Rui wouldn’t have to worry about running out of Pym Particles, considering his ultimate goal was to secure the manufacturing technology. After all, he couldn’t predict how long it would take for Ant-Man to join SHIELD or become his ally.
“Don’t worry, Wakanda’s laboratories are the most advanced in the world; there won’t be any low-level mistakes that damage the experimental item,” Shuri assured Lin Rui as she accepted the vial of Pym Particles.
With that, Shuri began her analysis of the small vial of Pym Particles. With Wakanda’s technology, Lin Rui believed that Shuri wouldn’t take long to uncover the secrets of Pym Particles. Perhaps she would even be able to produce new Pym Particles soon. If that happened, Lin Rui wouldn’t have to worry about a shortage of Pym Particles anymore.
As for the Wakandan technology that Lin Rui was supposed to receive in exchange for the Pym Particles he had given to Shuri, he wasn’t in a hurry to obtain it. After all, Wakanda possessed a wealth of black technology, and Lin Rui would take his time selecting the most valuable pieces, depending on Shuri’s willingness to cooperate.
Meanwhile, while Lin Rui and Shuri engaged in their “friendly” scientific and technological exchange in the laboratory, T’Challa had personally finished interrogating Ulysses. Although Ulysses had become a fugitive, Wakanda had its methods to extract the information it desired.
From Ulysses, T’Challa learned that the massive theft of vibranium from Wakanda had involved an inside accomplice. According to Ulysses, the status of this internal accomplice within Wakanda had to be relatively high.
After all, given Wakanda’s stringent protection of vibranium, it was unlikely that an outsider like Ulysses could have stolen so much of it.
Ulysses also revealed a surprising piece of information— although he had lost contact with the person who had helped him steal vibranium from Wakanda, the network of bases he had established globally through Ulysses continued to operate smoothly.
Thanks to the substantial funds generated by vibranium, these organizations, formed from local militias, possessed advanced weaponry that surpassed many mainstream forces.
Furthermore, it seemed that these bases had always been secretly led by someone, and over the years, they had grown and become a formidable force that could not be underestimated.
The information T’Challa obtained from Ulysses, combined with what Lin Rui had told him, made him suspect that a grand conspiracy was unfolding around Wakanda.
With his father’s unexpected death and the appearance of his cousin N’Jadaka, T’Challa felt that a great conspiracy was encircling Wakanda, which had enjoyed peace for centuries.
“Could it be that my uncle’s disappearance was not as simple as it seemed, and who is truly behind these armed forces with access to Wakandan technology and vibranium?” As he left the interrogation room, T’Challa pondered these questions.
Because his father had died unexpectedly, T’Challa couldn’t obtain more detailed information from Ulysses regarding events from more than two decades ago. After all, Ulysses was just a fugitive who did whatever it took to make money.
