Chapter 166 Super Alloy, a Black Technology That Can Absorb Kinetic Energy!

"Shocked?" Lin Mo was dumbfounded.

Who was the brilliant person who came up with this name?

"It's Zheng in his name, and Jin in metal," Secretary Li corrected, then continued:

"Materials scientist Academician Zheng Jin, while studying the Holy Human Armor you sent back, tried adding several rare metals unique to Earth. In a chance electrolysis experiment, he discovered this brand-new alloy and named it after himself."

"Its molecular structure is very special, almost completely static, which makes it conduct almost no heat or kinetic energy."

After Secretary Li finished speaking, he picked up a metal paperweight from the table and struck it hard on the thin sheet of "Zheng Jin".

"when!"

A crisp sound.

The paperweight was bounced away, but Lin Mo's hand, which was holding the metal piece, did not feel any vibration.

Secretary Li continued:

"Look, it can absorb most of the kinetic energy."

"Moreover, it weighs only one-third of the same volume of steel, but its strength..."

"Currently, our laboratory has not found an effective way to destroy it using kinetic energy; we can only destroy it by dissolving its molecular structure with another special material."

"The only drawback is that the production cost is extremely high, and it must use the armor metal from Terra as the base material."

As Lin Mo held the metal piece called "Zheng Jin," a flash of inspiration struck him.

Controlled nuclear fusion technology has solved the problem of unlimited energy.

Exoskeleton technology has solved the problems of individual soldier power and load-bearing platform.

Now, there's this ultralight alloy that's almost indestructible and can even absorb energy...

Lin Mo raised his head, his breathing somewhat rapid.

"Secretary Li, I have an idea."

"A miniaturized nuclear fusion reactor, plus an exoskeleton, and then using this 'Zheng Jin' as armor..."

"So... does that mean we can create a suit like Iron Man's?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the reception room was pushed open.

An elderly man with a kind face and graying temples walked in. He heard Lin Mo's last words and smiled, saying:

"I already have this idea."

"However, Iron Man is still too much of a science fiction."

Number Two walked up to Lin Mo and patted him on the shoulder affectionately.

"For example, the transmission technology inside is something we cannot currently achieve with such precision and miniaturization."

"With our current technology, the height should be over five meters. We can't be as small as in the movies, otherwise the movements would be too slow and the power would be insufficient."

Lin Mo's eyes lit up instantly.

It already exists? Five meters tall?

Isn't that a super mech?!

No man can resist mecha!

Lin Mo turned his head and, upon seeing it was Number Two, immediately stood up straight.

"Sit down, sit down, don't be shy." Number Two waved his hand and sat down on the sofa next to him.

"You just woke up, are you feeling alright?"

"Report, everything is normal!" Lin Mo answered, straightening his back.

"That's good. You haven't woken up for so many days, which has made us old folks quite worried."

Lin Mo scratched his head sheepishly.

"Um... my mental strength is too strong, so I don't need much sleep."

"I see." Number Two said with realization, continuing the previous topic:

"The peculiar power system on the continent of Terra makes humans seem extremely powerless when facing high-level combat forces."

"Whether it's the various races of Terra or demons like Woraz, there will be no shortage of them."

"Therefore, we are already working on the 'Super Mech' project, in preparation for future high-level combat forces to fight against the Demon Race or other races on the Terra Continent."

Lin Mo was slightly taken aback.

"Commander, didn't we obtain the cultivation methods of the Holy Human Race?"

"Can't I cultivate like them and improve my combat power rank?"

Number Two shook his head.

"no."

"Currently, we have organized a thousand of our top warriors to conduct training experiments, and the result is... not a single one has been successful."

"Whether it's physical combat strength or magic."

He paused for a moment, giving Lin Mo time to process it.

Scientists speculate that this is because the two universes have fundamentally different rules.

"To put it simply, it's 'spiritual energy.' There's no such thing on Earth."

"Because of the lack of this basic energy, the bodies of us humans on Earth have never developed the ability to use it from birth."

"As for why you can..."

Number Two looked at Lin Mo.

"Our scientists, through studying some of the elf cell samples they brought back, as well as some Terran animal body tissues, and comparing them with your body cells, discovered a common point."

"Your cellular structure is fundamentally different from that of us humans on Earth."

"Whether this difference is due to the mutation that occurred after your soul traveled through time, or because you ate the Fruit of Life, is currently uncertain."

"We need more samples for research, such as... the Fruit of Life, or living tissue from the Holy Human Race."

Lin Mo listened quietly, his heart filled with turmoil.

"Therefore, as a precaution, the super mech project must proceed," Number Two continued.

"This is the most reliable way for us to improve individual combat effectiveness."

"Even if scientists make breakthroughs in the future, allowing us to learn magic and create individuals who can cultivate it, it will inevitably be a very small number of exceptionally gifted people."

"Mechs can give most ordinary soldiers powerful combat capabilities, so this research will not be in vain."

Number Two tapped his fingers lightly on the sofa armrest.

"At present, we can focus our resources on creating a customized solution for you."

"The discovery of 'Zheng Jin' is key."

"Based on the Terra continent's classification of warriors, the armor made from it can completely withstand physical attacks from warriors of rank six or above."

"You have second-tier physical attributes, plus sixth-tier magical abilities, and with this mech suit... your combat power will increase exponentially."

Number Two spoke calmly, but what he said made Lin Mo's blood boil.

"On Earth, as long as you are not directly hit by a hypersonic missile or a nuclear bomb, you are basically invincible."

"At that time, you will be a unique, strategic-level biological weapon for the Great Xia."

Lin Mo's eyes widened, and he even held his breath for a moment.

This pie looks too big, it smells too good to be true.

He ate it willingly.

As expected of the national team, they unleashed a trump card right from the start.

It took Lin Mo several seconds to calm himself down before he began to report on his work.

"Commander, a lot has happened in Terra during the days I've been asleep."

He briefly recounted how the expeditionary force repelled the demons, captured the city of Emerald Leaf, and killed the demon leader, Woraz.

"...The elves have kept their promise and have paid the reward: a seed of the World Tree."

"In addition, the first batch of weapons we sold to the Holy Humans and Elves performed very well in actual combat."

"Both families have tasted success and are now eager to buy a second batch, on an even larger scale."

"I temporarily refused their offer, citing the closure of the portal, which is a crucial bargaining chip in our negotiations."
