Superman, the Man of Steel, female, 6 years old!

Anyway, regardless of anything else, Kryptonians are definitely good at blacksmithing.

Even the materials for the suit have been prepared, which are the vibranium she got when she went to Wakanda to get the heart-shaped grass!

Chapter 023 Vibranium

Anna hasn't been idle in the six years since she came to the Marvel world.

Apart from traveling to Kathmandu several times and not finding the entrance to Kamar-Taj yet, her biggest achievement since awakening her abilities was discovering Wakanda in eastern Africa according to her memory.

For example, the heart-shaped grass used to save Tony in Afghanistan, and the vibranium we have now, were all harvested in Wakanda.

Of course, the black uncles disagreed with this at first. However, after the Kryptonian gangsters who they couldn't even penetrate came to Wakanda and carried away a wild boar today and dug a piece of ore at home tomorrow, people started to ignore Anna.

For Anna, this certainly wasn't a sinful robbery. After all, when a meteorite landed on Earth, it became the property of all civilization. And as a good person living on Earth, Anna certainly had a share of it, right? It couldn't be that just because the black uncles could dig it up, she, An, couldn't, right?

Vibranium seems to be extremely precious in the outside world, selling for $10,000 per gram. But in Wakanda, it is actually not that valuable. Ulysses Klaue stole 250 kilograms of vibranium from Wakanda and killed dozens of black uncles while running away. As a result, he has not been killed until now. You can imagine how important this thing is to Wakanda.

This thing is rare in the outside world because they control it. Not counting the unmined minerals and the vibranium that has been made into tools, there are 10,000 tons of vibranium stored in the Wakanda treasury alone.

If the 70 billion people on Earth were to share the vibranium, it would indeed be a rare metal. However, if it were only for Wakanda or just for her, it would not be a rare thing.

So the vibranium ore she is preparing for the Wonder Woman suit is a piece of meteorite weighing about 200 kilograms that she dug out from the Wakanda crater.

The vibranium meteorites that Anna placed in the barn were not without larger ones. After running back and forth in the meteorite crater several times, the barn was filled with almost 20 tons of vibranium ore.

However, Anna, a 6-year-old little girl, is only this big, and even this 200-kilogram piece of raw material may not be used up, so there is no need to find a bigger one.

There's a reason Anna's house is filled with vibranium ore. Meteorites, after all, are simply fallen objects, meaning they belong to whoever digs them up. It's perfectly legitimate for her to take a few pieces home. However, finished vibranium, after painstaking mining and smelting, has become someone else's property through their own labor. It would be a bit unreasonable for her to steal it. While the black men make no distinction between stealing ore and metal, for Anna, the distinction is significant.

So now when Anna starts to make equipment, she has to start smelting vibranium on the spot.

After lighting the furnace, Anna waited beside the furnace wearing a large blacksmith's apron, breaking the meteorite ore into small pieces while waiting.

Vibranium is actually not as difficult to melt and process as imagined. Based on Anna's current experience, its processing difficulty is between stainless steel and titanium alloy. It is a little more difficult than copper, iron and the like, but not too difficult.

After all, the Blacks created cold weapons made of vibranium thousands of years ago, and some ancient vibranium artifacts are still on display in museums outside the country. Vibranium is notoriously easy to shape and process. If it were as difficult to work with as adamantium, then the Blacks would have to wait a long time before they could develop vibranium technology.

So, after the furnace had fully heated up to temperature under the combustion of coal gas for about twenty minutes, Anna began to drop the ore, which had been broken into small pieces, into the furnace one by one. She then closed the furnace door and waited for the ore inside to melt. While waiting, she would occasionally use heat rays to speed things up through the furnace opening.

If it weren't for the fact that using heat rays for a long time would make your eyes sore, and the smelting gas in this barn is supplied free of charge, Anna, the stingy girl, would have planned to use heat rays for heating throughout the process.

After about ten minutes of continuous heating and accelerated by Anna's heat rays, and after skimming off the impurities floating on the surface with a tool, Anna had a pot of vibranium solution weighing over ten kilograms. She then used a pair of pliers to remove the solution, aligned the pot's opening with the mold, and poured it in. Anna had a rough draft of the "Divine Power Buckler."

After repeating this process several times, Anna, standing in front of the furnace, had produced the heroine's eagle armor, combat boots, battle skirt armor plates, starlight flying crown, and rough pieces of protective silver bracelets. Others included long vibranium blocks intended for the Vulcan Sword and some small pieces of vibranium intended to be stretched into silk to weave the Truth Lasso.

After everything was ready, Anna turned off the furnace at the door of the barn and moved the things in one by one. Then she took out the big anvil and the blacksmith's hammer and refined the rough casting in the open space of the farm.

In fact, at this point, vibranium was becoming difficult to work with, as the formed vibranium would absorb the applied energy and kinetic energy, making its precision difficult to control. However, Anna wasn't trying to create any high-tech equipment requiring micron or nanometer precision; it was all about cold weaponry. All measurements were determined by eyeballing and on-site fittings. A difference of a millimeter or two wouldn't be a problem, and the rest was mostly just blacksmithing work.

Furthermore, she deployed her superhuman bio-force field, protecting the anvil and blacksmith's hammer below, and then casually smashed down with a hammer weighing dozens of tons, fine-tuning the metal block below. Her emphasis was on achieving miracles with her immense strength. Therefore, when forging these vibraniums, the difficulty was not too great.

Although she did not have Wakanda's method of using sonic stabilizers to passivate vibranium and then processing it like ordinary metal, vibranium also has a limit in absorbing energy and kinetic energy. In addition, she would use heat rays from time to time to heat it up and recharge it for a few seconds.

So the vibranium under Anna's hammer was slowly deformed under the hammer of her powerful sister, 40 tons for the small hammer and 80 tons for the big hammer.

As the sun was about to set, the vibranium on the anvil, having absorbed energy to its limit, emitted waves of purple shockwaves that tore the ground apart. Anna had finally crafted a 'divine shield' that was almost identical to her sister's, a scaled-down version with a strong ancient Greek flavor.

After making this first piece of COSPLAY equipment, the little brat grabbed the handle behind the round shield and swung it backhanded.

There was a loud bang.

Crash, crash! ~~

The rustling of earth and rocks fell like raindrops in the smoke and dust.

A large crater two or three meters deep appeared on the ground where she swung her sword, but the shield in Anna's hand didn't even have a scratch on it.

Chapter 024 Departure to California

After spending a week banging away in the open space at home after school, Anna finally created a set of cosplay equipment that looked almost exactly like the heroine in the movie.

Of course, apart from their appearance and durability, these items had nothing in common with the Heroine's Greek artifacts. Not only were they missing the special effects, but they were also a bit different in terms of durability.

But Anna was also very satisfied. Although this set of equipment could not be used to fly into the sky or into the ground, or to cut aircraft carriers with swords, it was still easy and enjoyable to use it to block bullets, rocket launchers, grenades, etc. in daily life.

After posing in front of the mirror, holding a long sword and a shield, wearing a red and yellow eagle armor with the WW logo, a small battle skirt underneath the eagle armor, vibranium wristbands, vibranium combat boots, and a lasso made of vibranium filaments and carbon nanowires obtained from her mother wrapped around her waist, the little brat Anna looked around in front of the mirror with great satisfaction.

Untying her long-dyed brown-black hair and letting it fall over her shoulders, the starlight crown on her forehead was the highlight...

Anna walked around happily in front of Lorraine's mother. Anyway, the little brat now felt that if her "Lasso of Truth" had a yellow LED light strip added to it... then she could seamlessly go next door and pretend to be Wonder Woman.

Well, the 6-year-old kind.

……

Lorraine's mother was watching her admiring herself in the mirror. Actually, they were going to Stark Industries in California to discuss business today, so they brought the little brat along after he had built his equipment.

After the little brat had been showing off for most of the day and Julia's mother had packed her luggage, Anna and her family of three and two dogs got into Lorraine's mother's 6-wheel modified Ford 150 pickup police car and drove all the way to California.

Because they had to conduct normal business transactions with ordinary people and maintain normal traffic speeds, they couldn't fly directly from the sky this time. Instead, they could only drive to California at normal speeds.

Lorraine's mom's Ford 150 pickup truck is a VelociRaptor 6x6 model from renowned American tuner Hennessey. Based on the Ford 150, it starts at around $350,000 and is limited to just 50 units worldwide. It's several times more imposing than the four-wheeled production Ford 150, and aside from lacking the ability to transform, it resembles a Transformer. When her mom drove the car back, Anna practically threw herself on it and refused to get out.

Moreover, after the car was driven back by her mother, she continued to modify it in the cargo box of the pickup truck and installed a liftable M61A1 20mm machine gun. After testing its power once at the shooting range... Anna wanted to lick the car almost every day.

Lorraine's mother spent nearly $500,000 on this car, which cost more than the two-story police station building in the small town and the entire five-year budget of the police station. Furthermore, the cost of the 20mm machine gun in the cargo box, firing at full power for one minute, would have paid for Anna's annual farm work.

Of course, an ordinary police station would not have such a thing. The small town councilors and taxpayers who are always watching would not allow Police Chief Comrade Lorraine to waste so much public money.

However, no matter how many problems it had, it could not withstand the fact that Lorraine's mother, a wealthy man, donated twice the price of the car to the town for this car, so the car passed all kinds of inspections smoothly and eventually became the most expensive property in the police station. The police also turned a blind eye to the various "private use of public vehicles" by the chief.

Lorraine's mother, a car and gun enthusiast, has invested more than that in the small town's police station. For example, the two police officers have handmade pistols worth about $4000, 20 sets of US military special operations equipment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars each are placed in the police station, and there are six Gatling weapon stations hidden in the outer wall. These investments alone are enough to cover the town's financial budget for 50 years in normal times.

And Lorraine's mother, the chief who subsidizes the police station with her own money every day, has a satellite reception and control system in the police station's command room. Can you believe it?

This little brat Anna earns tens of thousands of dollars every year working for her mother, but in the end she still ends up like a pauper. It's obvious who she learned this habit of spending money lavishly from.

However, her days as a pauper finally came to an end with Stark's help.

Because after this week, Anna's stock short-selling business was of course a complete success, but the day after Tony broke the news at the press conference, Stark's stock fell by more than 30%.

Add to that the developments of the past few days, and the fact that Stark Industries, under the leadership of Tony's uncle Obadiah, was gradually divesting its weapons business. Furthermore, after speculators saw that Tony had not been ousted from the board by Obadiah, a qualified CEO, and other shareholders, and after Wall Street saw that they were serious about ending their arms business, Stark Industries' stock plummeted.

But as of today, Stark Industries' stock has depreciated by as much as 50% compared to before Tony returned.

A week ago, Anna asked Larry to help her short Stark's stock with a 20-fold leverage. Her assets increased tenfold in this week, so Anna withdrew all her funds before the market closed yesterday.

She certainly knew that Stark's stock still had room to fall. In her memory, it eventually fell by as much as 56%, but that was a month or two later.

Moreover, the Stark Industries stock in the market is now fluctuating around the critical line of 50%. A bunch of bigwigs are eyeing Stark's stock and trying to make money, such as S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, which are all making trouble...So Anna, who is insignificant in many ways, secretly withdrew from the stock market after making a lot of money.

After paying old Larry 10% commission and leaving 10 million heart-shaped grass coins to return to Princess Shu Rui, Anna, the newly rich little tycoon, took her own 90 million yuan and went to California with the two mothers to make a big purchase.

Their current business venture was somewhat related to Tony, but they weren't buying his stock. Tony and Obaday, two guys with inside information, were confidently and aggressively buying back shares at low prices, and wouldn't sell them off. Furthermore, Lu Dan was also secretly acquiring shares using S.H.I.E.L.D. funds. So, a small-time fry like Anna had no room to interfere.

However, because Stark decided not to get involved in the weapons business anymore, in the past week, Obadiah has been dealing with the mountain of weapons inventory and weapons production lines in Stark Industries, in addition to arguing with the board of directors and buying back stocks.

Anna and her family of three came to California to discuss the business of handling discounted weapons and production lines with Obaday.

Chapter 025 Everyone is having a blast! ~

The top moves his mouth, the bottom runs and breaks his legs.

This situation now also applies to two old enemies, Tony and Uncle Obadiah.

Tony just talked a lot at the press conference, but his uncle Obadiah had to run around to clean up the mess for him.

In other words, the old man knew that Tony had made a huge technological breakthrough after escaping from Afghanistan, so a small Ark Reactor was embedded in Tony's chest to hang him like a carrot. Otherwise, Obaday, a qualified businessman and executioner, would have united all the shareholders on the board of directors to kick Stark out.

In the past, Obaday was unable to kick Stark out, so he came up with the idea of ​​the Ten Rings Gang.

When Tony was 17 and had just graduated from MIT, he tried it once...

However, in the end, under his management, Stark Industries began to decline without the world's top technological innovation, so the board of directors happily invited the 21-year-old genius Stark back four years later.

But now it’s different.

Because after Tony went crazy at the press conference and announced that he would close the weapons department, if Obadiah was willing, he could just unite more than half of the shareholders to kick Stark out of the board of directors.

After all, an arms company is an arms company. Shareholders aren't here to do charity; they pursue only profit. Conscience and social responsibility are bullshit to them.

Don't think Stark Industries was founded by Tony's father. He and his family have absolute control over the world's largest arms company. Even Steve Jobs was kicked out of Apple, so Stark is no exception.

But Tony's Uncle Obadi certainly wouldn't do that now.

Or rather, he would never do this before he obtained the miniaturization technology of the Ark reactor.

He is now actively cooperating with Tony to close down weapons departments everywhere. Of course, this is because he, like Stark, wants to force those Wall Street financial speculators and shareholders who are easily fooled to leave the company by closing down the company's weapons departments before transforming the company, and then buy back the company's shares at the lowest price.

For Stark, after closing the weapons department, the entire company will never do weapons business again.

This seems to be a bad thing for Obaday...

However, Uncle Obaday, who is busy arguing with shareholders, buying back stocks, and closing the weapons department every day, does not think so.

Because after the birth of Stark's Mark Armor, the most powerful conventional weapon on Earth is the Iron Man suit. Now, in the eyes of the old man, weapons other than the Iron Man suit are rubbish...

Now, the weapons departments he has closed down personally are just divesting Stark Industries' obsolete production capacity and non-performing assets, as well as eliminating those junk weapons stocks.

When he takes care of Tony in the future, Stark Industries' weapons will only need the Iron Man suit.

So you know how happy Uncle Obaday, who is now flying around, running errands for Stark and "standing" with Stark, is about Tony's nonsense at the press conference.

Because this nephew not only gave him an excuse to kick him out of the company in the future, but also provided him with a lot of conveniences for controlling the company in the future. Even the new technology that the company would transform in the future was created by Tony, the tool man.

So in order to show that Stark Industries was determined to stop doing arms business, the old man had to dispose of these stockpiled weapons and production lines as quickly as possible.

Now this old man is not only selling his inventory at low prices in the market, but also giving discounts again and again to those production lines... It's like the second senior brother, who starts to divide his luggage after all these things are sold out.

Obaday is now dealing with the inventory of weapons and weapons production lines of the world's largest arms company in such a drastic manner. Naturally, the headquarters of Stark Industries in California has become a carnival destination for American military enthusiasts and other arms companies this week.

For example, the Stark Industries version of the Glock 19 pistol, which originally cost 4 or 5 yuan, is now only 200 yuan, and each gun also comes with an $88 red dot sight and a box of bullets.

The Stark Industries version of the HK416 rifle has a retail price of $4000 in gun stores, while Obaday's current selling price is $1500. If the purchase volume reaches 537819336 pieces, it will be sold directly in packages for $800 each.

Stark Industries' CZ806 Bren 2 rifle, which retails for $1999, is now half price, just $999. If you purchase more than 537819336 rifles, you can even get it for as low as $699.

A box of 50 rounds of pistol and rifle ammunition originally cost $35-39, but now they're all $20, all $20...

The ultra-low prices of these products during the clearance sale attracted hundreds of thousands of Americans from all over the United States to California by various means of transportation to shop in the week after the press conference. It was even more lively than the annual gun expo in Las Vegas.

And it's not just these mouth-watering low-priced personal weapons, like those anti-tank rockets that cost tens of thousands of dollars a round, the more expensive Freedom series missiles, and drones, etc., all of these things were also sold off by Obama at a clearance sale.

What? A case of wine is free when you spend $500 million?

If you spend $500 million now, Stark Industries will give you another $500 million worth of weapons.

Regardless of whether they got to drink the wine or not, the generals in charge of procurement at the Pentagon were all overjoyed.

It's good that Stark shuts down the weapons department...

It would be better if it were closed once a year.

After all, Stark isn't the only company making weapons in the world. Companies like the US, Germany, the Czech Republic, and even a certain country's Norinco sell weapons and equipment. Even Hammer Industries' "ex-wife" is being used with great pleasure.

Therefore, the US government not only did not stop Stark Industries from shutting down its weapons department, but even fanned the flames.

For example, Hammer Industries, which has a good relationship with the Pentagon, poached a large number of Stark's weapons research and development personnel and production workers with the help of the military.

Anna and her family of three came to California this time, naturally to join this carnival party of dividing the spoils.

For example, Anna's mother Lorraine, because she has many subordinates and her family has to make trouble all over the world, so she came to California this time to buy those discounted weapons that have been broken, as well as the production lines that Obaday can't handle.

Chapter 026: Two Mothers and Daughters Shopping

You are not seeing things at all.
