Chapter 141: Military Leaders With Tingling Scalps

Hearing Academician Xu’s plan, Liu Mu was quite satisfied. He immediately nodded and walked to the Strategy Department.

The two big shots from the fifth Research Department arrived at the Strategy Department one after the other. With their authority, Project B-1047 was successfully filed in less than 10 minutes.

The project’s purpose was to improve the effects of the Invisibility Armor, and the military would provide research funds for a period of three months.

However, Wu Mo was the only researcher in the project.

Although this project did not conform to the rules, Academician Xu’s authority was second only to that of the fifth Research Department’s president. Hence, it was not a problem at all.

Thanks to Academician Xu’s comments, the project was quickly approved and reported to the military’s high-level management system.

Only ranked officers could check and approve projects in the high-level management system.

Therefore, the only person who could see Wu Mo’s project was the brigadier general in charge of military research and development in the southeastern theater of operations, Liao Dongcheng!

As usual, Liao Dongcheng was examining and approving all kinds of information and requirements from the front theater of operations.

Suddenly, he noticed a brand new red dot on the project approval page on his computer.

It meant that a new B-level project had been filed into his system.

It could only be approved after Brigadier General Liao Dongcheng’s review.

“Huh…”

Liao Dongcheng let out a light exclamation of surprise.

He was a little surprised. Had they not submitted one B-level project three months ago?

Why would there be a second project of the same level within such a short period of time?

One should know that most B-level projects consumed energy and required a lot of researchers to participate in research and development.

It would inevitably affect the normal process flow, so unless it was an urgent matter, it would not be upgraded to Level B.

Under normal circumstances, the highest rank would only be Level C, and items below Level C would be reviewed by the mayor of the city. They would not be sent to his system at all.

Feeling curious, Liao Dongcheng immediately opened the project’s detailed interface.

Soon, a series of relevant information came out, including a video of the equipment demonstration that lasted only more than a minute.

Liao Dongcheng was still a little confused when he saw the project approval information because he only saw one unknown newcomer named Wu Mo.

However, since it was a B-level project, he continued to read patiently.

Yet, the more he read, the more surprised he became.

He was a little taken aback, especially when he saw the equipment’s test data.

He was the highest commander in the field of military research and development.

He knew the test data for equipment like the back of his hand. Naturally, he understood what the scores meant.

After reading the short but signed project information, he grew increasingly excited.

He wondered if the blacksmithing masters of the fifth Research Department had brought out their trump cards and worked together to produce such a powerful improved equipment.

On second thought, those academicians and professors probably would not participate in the tenth-generation combat suit’s development because there were more important things waiting for them.

However, if it was not the experienced professionals…

Who had the ability to carry such a great burden and create such outstanding equipment?

When he scrolled to the video that only lasted a little over a minute, he saw a young man who appeared to be in his twenties activate an armor’s invisibility function.

His entire body froze on the spot. His mind felt like it had been struck by lightning, and he was shocked beyond words.

The signature at the end of the application also indicated that the improved armor had an invisibility function.

The young man’s name, Wu Mo, was written on it.

Finally, he understood that a newcomer, who had just entered the Research Department less than three months ago, had forged such excellent armor.

Liao Dongcheng felt his scalp go numb as he sat in his chair.

He imagined that if this armor could be installed on every cultivator, it could directly change the situation in the southeastern war zone, where they were being suppressed by the invading Ten Thousand Races!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Liao Dongcheng’s hands were trembling, and his whole body felt numb as if he had been electrocuted.

He immediately typed on his keyboard and changed the B-level secret item to Level A!

This was because the item’s attributes could completely affect the situation in the southeastern war zone.

He was a little worried. While the armor had been completed by Wu Mo alone, many areas needed to be improved. He was concerned that Wu Mo would not be able to handle everything on his own.

Moreover, he wanted to meet this young man who had designed the stealth armor because he had never seen the young man’s ideas and improvement plans before. If he did not meet Wu Mo and chat with him, he would feel regretful.

Once he was done, he immediately made a call. He asked his assistant to clear up his schedule for the next day and make preparation to visit the fifth Research Department.

Right then, Wu Mo was leisurely reading his notes in the small villa. He never thought that his actions would actually alarm the senior leaders of the southeastern theater of operations.

“Sigh, my ideas are indeed not comprehensive enough. There are still many areas of the Invisibility Armor that can be improved on. Besides, it has to be adjusted slightly according to the battlefield’s terrain. That way, it can be more suited for the first-line cultivators’ use,” he sighed and said to himself.

To be honest, it was not difficult for Wu Mo to improve it, but mass production was tough.

After all, the Dark Light Wings attached to the surface of the Invisibility Armor’s composite cloth were very few in number. Forget thousands of sets, he could not even make 10 sets at his current capacity.

On top of that, they would require Tier 2 arrays and all kinds of inlaid gemstones. If the armor was mass-produced, the expenditure of funds would be like flowing water.

Thus, one could see that the Invisibility Armor’s road to mass production was fraught with complications unless the official powers could provide all the materials and some researchers with sufficient strength.

Otherwise, it was unlikely that hundreds of sets could be mass-produced within a few months.

“Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.”

He turned over on the couch and completely emptied his mind.

He had been a little tense for the past few months, trying to improve the commission. Now that he had completed the outstanding task, it was time for him to relax for a day or two.

However, for Wu Mo, relaxing was not equivalent to going out and playing; it was going to the internal reference room to read more books and absorb the ideas of more master blacksmiths.

Plus, he had gone to the internal reference room several times but never entered the exhibition area.

Once he resumed his inspection next week, he would have to visit the exhibition area to broaden his knowledge.

After all, the Divine weapons and armor that were placed there had to be outstanding in a certain aspect. There might even be other Divine equipment.

For such a long time, he had never seen any other Divine equipment besides Mjolnir in the Nine Provinces.

The most advanced equipment he had seen so far was Principal Qiu’s Legendary-grade Glazed Heart Protection Mirror.

That was a pity for him.

If he could see more high-quality equipment, he might be able to broaden his horizons or learn more advanced forging techniques.
