Seeing the heart-shaped green leaves, Han Shaoqing casually waved his hand, sending dust flying to reveal a vibrant patch of vegetation and some purple fruits.
"Heart-Shaped Herb. I didn't expect such a fortunate discovery."
Vibranium had altered the very substance of Wakanda's land, causing plants to mutate. The most remarkable of these was the Heart-Shaped Herb.
The Heart-Shaped Herb was the source of Black Panther's superhuman strength. Consuming it could unlock a person's potential, dramatically enhancing their senses and physical capabilities.
Moreover, it was entirely natural and pollution-free, proving even more effective than the Super Soldier Serum.
To maintain the Golden Tribe's dominance, only the King of Wakanda was allowed to consume the Heart-Shaped Herb.
Looking around, Han Shaoqing noticed that most of the Heart-Shaped Herb's fruits and roots had been crushed, with only a few surviving intact.
Only five intact fruits remained.
Han Shaoqing wasn't sure whether the Heart-Shaped Herb could be eaten directly or required special processing.
He personally cared little for the minor strength boost it provided; his true intention was to cultivate it for those close to him.
"Old Man, come here. I've got a treasure to show you."
Hearing Han Shaoqing's call, Erik controlled the magnetic field to levitate himself to the mountaintop.
Erik scanned the area and noticed heart-shaped leaves scattered across the messy terrain.
*Could these have some special use?*
"This is Heart-Shaped Herb, a magical plant reserved for the King of Wakanda. It can enhance strength, speed, and reflexes. I'm not sure about side effects, though. Secure this area first. I'll have Hank collect some samples for research later."
No sooner had Han Shaoqing mentioned Hank than Raven teleported to the mountaintop with him.
"How did you acquire such a massive vibranium mine?" Hank asked, spotting Han Shaoqing and Erik. He immediately began examining the vibranium deposit up close, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "I've never seen anything like this mineral before. It seems to contain radioactive elements. I need to study this thoroughly!"
"This is vibranium, also known as Sound-Absorbing Steel. We transported it from Africa. It's not only incredibly hard but also absorbs kinetic energy and other forms of energy. It can then release this stored energy as waves, making it an extremely rare and valuable mineral," Erik explained, improvising on the spot.
"You call this rare?" Hank stared at the colossal vibranium mountain, utterly speechless.
Han Shaoqing chimed in, "It is indeed very rare. Vibranium itself is a meteorite that fell to Earth in Africa. All the vibranium on the planet is here. Its practical value is immense; you must make the most of it."
Raven added, "If Erik is telling the truth, this ore seems very similar to Sebastian's superpowers. With this much vibranium, if we could make full suits of armor for all the Mutants, their safety would be guaranteed!"
Han Shaoqing nodded. "The vibranium reserves are sufficient to make a suit for everyone. However, vibranium has its limitations. It can only absorb a certain amount of energy. Exceeding this threshold will cause it to shatter."
"Furthermore, vibranium doesn't absorb impact and energy with 100% efficiency. This means a vibranium suit can mitigate most attack damage, but the wearer will still feel some impact after being struck."
"Even standing together in vibranium suits isn't foolproof. Against truly powerful opponents, relying solely on vibranium armor won't be enough."
As he spoke, Han Shaoqing raised his hand, levitated a chunk of raw vibranium, and crushed it in his palm with the same ease he would a piece of tofu, right before Raven and the others.
Han Shaoqing's physical strength had long surpassed human limits. If even Thanos, a Low-Celestial, could crush vibranium with his bare hands, Han Shaoqing certainly could.
Watching vibranium shatter effortlessly in Han Shaoqing's hands, Erik, who had just felt his confidence surge, suddenly found the Black Panther suit less appealing.
"Don't worry," Han Shaoqing said reassuringly. "There aren't many people on Earth as strong as me. Based on my estimates, a vibranium suit can withstand attacks from ordinary Tier 3 Mutants and even offer some protection against Tier 4 Mutants."
"That's already quite impressive. Besides, vibranium can be used for more than just suits—it can also be forged into weapons, more than enough to handle most emergencies."
"Beast, Old Man, I'm entrusting the creation of the vibranium suit to you both."
"I also have some advanced Atlantean technology here. I'll transfer it to you now. Use it wisely."
With that, Han Shaoqing shared the technological knowledge he'd acquired from Atlantis with Hank and Erik.
Hank, a natural-born genius scientist, was a close rival to Iron Man and Luthor in inventive talent. If born in the same era, he might have even surpassed them.
Though Erik lacked Hank's formal education, his ability to manipulate metal made him a mechanical master. A self-taught prodigy, he was an equally remarkable inventor.
In *X-Men: Days of Future Past*, Erik had previously modified the Sentinels.
In *X-Men*, he had even created an instrument capable of transforming humans into Mutants, though it was ultimately a failure.
In his spare time, Erik diligently studied to improve himself.
After acquiring the technology of Atlantis, their knowledge base increased by several levels. It was expected that they would soon be able to mass-produce vibranium armor, weapons, fighter jets, and more.
The main structure of the base could be replaced with vibranium, making it truly indestructible—at least nuclear-proof.
The Atlantean technology covered a wide range of fields, including the conversion of water into energy weapons, as well as infinite energy sources and nanotechnology.
The sheer volume of information required Hank and Erik some time to digest.
After securing the Heart-Shaped Herb, Hank, at Han Shaoqing's direction, took some samples back for research.
Han Shaoqing, meanwhile, returned to Wakanda, remembering something he had left undone.
Finding the dejected King T'Chaka, Han Shaoqing subdued him without a word and activated the Perfected Hands to extract his memories.
One purpose was to obtain Wakanda's techniques for utilizing vibranium.
Meanwhile, Han Shaoqing was eager to uncover the secrets of the Heart-Shaped Herb.
He quickly obtained the information he sought.
As an afterthought, he casually brainwashed T'Chaka for free before gracefully departing.
With T'Chaka's memories, he could significantly accelerate his research into vibranium.
The information about the Heart-Shaped Herb turned out to be less mysterious than he'd imagined: simply crush the fruit, add some leaves, and drink it.
The effects of the Heart-Shaped Herb varied from person to person, with no side effects. The enhancement varied depending on one's constitution.
For the injured, it accelerated healing; for the healthy, it strengthened the body. Truly the ultimate green health supplement!
