In fact, many regions across the African continent have long been steeped in mysterious legends about the Black Panther.
Before Wakanda went into seclusion, the Black Panther frequently roamed the lands of Africa, appearing in various places and leaving behind its own legends due to its immense power.
In recent years, although Wakanda has remained hidden, the "War Dogs" have continued to assist and rescue civilians in war-torn areas. T'Challa's ex-girlfriend, Nakia, is one of them. While saving people, they have also spread the legend of the Black Panther even more widely across Africa.
Therefore, the Black Panther holds a special place in the hearts of many Africans.
After the joint rescue operation began, Wakanda's displayed power and the black panther emblem on its massive aircraft inevitably linked them to the legendary Black Panther. The influence accumulated over many years exploded, and the Black Panther became a savior in the eyes of many, while Wakanda became a sacred place for them.
Although Chen Mo was far away in New York, while researching the Mark III suit, he had been closely monitoring the situation in Africa and the progress of the plan.
Based on the intelligence feedback he received, Chen Mo felt the time was ripe to begin the next phase.
With Chen Mo's orders, Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D., and Wakanda mobilized. Unbeknownst to the outside world, a massive operation was secretly brewing, poised to shake the world to its core!
Africa, long perceived as poor, chaotic, ignorant, and backward, with little presence in the eyes of the world, was about to witness a momentous event unfold before the global stage!
The entire world would be astonished!
This would be a magnificent moment unprecedented in human history!
While issuing the final operational orders to the three major organizations, Chen Mo also gave a seemingly unrelated command.
With his orders issued, the three major organizations sprang into action. Simultaneously, under another directive, an improved Super Soldier Serum was dispatched from Hydra's base, quickly reaching Erik Killmonger and ultimately being injected into Princess Shuri.
Chen Mo hadn't only been monitoring the overall situation in Africa; he had also been tracking Princess Shuri's research progress on nanotechnology within the Kingdom of Wakanda. However, while there had been some advancements, there was still a considerable gap before it could be fully mastered and applied to the Black Panther suit.
Based on Chen Mo's analysis of the research progress and the timing of the nanosuit's appearance in the film, it would likely take several years to complete—far too long for him.
The Mark III steel suit, capable of rapid deployment and donning, has been successfully manufactured. Chen Mo's primary goal has been achieved, and having also consumed the Heart-Shaped Herb, his strength has greatly increased. It's about time to prepare to return to the real world.
Chen Mo cannot afford to waste several years here waiting for a nano combat suit. If it cannot be completed in the short term, he will have to wait until his next visit.
However, there are ways to accelerate the research. The Super Soldier Serum provides comprehensive enhancements to the body, improving the recipient's abilities in various aspects, including memory, thinking, reasoning, and judgment.
Princess Shuri, already a super genius, will undoubtedly experience another surge in mental power after receiving the Super Soldier Serum, greatly accelerating the pace of nanotechnology research and potentially enabling a breakthrough in the near future.
In the following days, Chen Mo thoroughly mastered the entire design of the Mark III. Given sufficient equipment and materials, he could manufacture the Mark III entirely on his own. Moreover, with Tony Stark's complex and ingenious transformation system as a reference, Chen Mo's exceptional brain quickly grasped the essentials.
This meant he could modify the Mark III's transformation system and alter the deployment method of the Iron Man suit according to his needs. After all, with his spatial storage ability, he didn't need the suit to fly long distances for deployment; he only required the suit to open and accommodate him.
Having thoroughly grasped the design of the Mark III Steel Suit, Chen Mo, who had nothing else to do at the moment, joined Tony Stark and his two companions in developing the super vehicle designed by Wang Jin.
With the addition of Chen Mo, who was "well-versed" and whose intellect surpassed everyone else's, the design modification and improvement of the super vehicle were quickly completed. Moreover, Chen Mo applied what he had learned on the spot, utilizing the transformation technology from the Mark III on the vehicle. Although it couldn't perform the dramatic transformation from a box to a suit like the armor, it could still achieve many powerful and practical functions.
After the design of the new vehicle was fully completed, the four members of the "Super Weapon Development Team" rarely emerged from the underground laboratory together. They sat in the spacious living room of the luxurious villa, watching TV and eating pizza that J.A.R.V.I.S. had ordered for them. The group of single researchers enjoyed a rare moment of leisure after their work had made significant progress.
Starting the next day, they would officially begin the construction of the super vehicle. Given their tireless dedication, they wouldn't be able to relax like this again until the vehicle was completed.
As for Tony Stark's capable assistant, Pepper Potts—after Chen Mo helped Tony regain control of Stark Industries and reclaim all shares, achieving 100% ownership—Tony Stark appointed Pepper as the new CEO of Stark Industries, entrusting her with full management of the company.
Subsequent actions, such as delisting and privatizing the company, were all carried out under Pepper's leadership.
After that, Tony Stark completely relinquished control, handing over the company entirely to Pepper and dedicating himself wholly to the development of the Mark III Iron Man suit.
Having finally completed the Mark III, Tony Stark was now tasked with a new mission. However, with the continuous modifications and improvements to Wang Jin's super vehicle design, Tony Stark grew increasingly fascinated. He was eager to see what kind of formidable super vehicle their combined efforts would ultimately create!
With Tony Stark stepping down as CEO and leaving all of Stark Industries' affairs to Pepper, she had been incredibly busy with company matters, returning home very late every day.
However, she was thoroughly enjoying herself, feeling she had found a new purpose in life.
