When Xu Wuyue saw Wu Mo, he immediately introduced him to General Liao with a smile.

“General, this is the graduate student you wanted to meet. His name is Wu Mo. He completed the Invisibility Armor mentioned in the project on his own.”

Upon hearing Xu Wuyue’s introduction, Liao Dongcheng nodded slightly. Looking at the man’s extremely young face, he was shocked despite being mentally prepared.

His proficiency in forging the Invisibility Armor was no inferior to that of a veteran blacksmith who had been in the field of forging for more than 10 years. However, this person was too young. Liao Dongcheng had seen countless people in his lifetime but the contrast made him sigh internally

Be that as it may, Liao Dongcheng did not forget the purpose of his visit. He waved to the deputy general beside him, and the latter immediately brought a red box to Wu Mo.

“Good news. Comrade Wu Mo has made a great contribution to the commission of armor improvement. He has achieved third-class meritorious service. Brigadier General Liao Dongcheng hereby awards Wu Mo the medal for Model Scientific Research. We hope our comrade, Wu Mo will continue to work hard and strive for greater glory in the field of forging.”

As the young deputy general spoke, he opened the red box.

There was a brand-new certificate and a heavy epaulet that emitted a metallic luster in the box.

According to military discipline and law, after scientific researchers or frontline cultivators performed any third-class meritorious service, they would officially jump ranks in the military.

Since Wu Mo had just been with the Research Department for less than three months, he was, technically, still stuck at the rank of a new soldier.

After this “battle,” however, he had crossed several ranks and directly reached the rank of second lieutenant.

In the future, if anyone else saw Wu Mo, they would have to address him as Second Lieutenant Wu.

Wu Mo did not expect his research and development this time to actually reach the standard of meritorious service.

He immediately went forward and took the box. Looking at the glittering epaulets, his heart was somewhat excited.

Not far away, Xu Wuyue saw the situation and sighed emotionally.

He had been in the Research Department for decades, and very few people could get earn a third-class meritorious service medal. Wu Mo had only been in the department for less than three months, but he had already received such merit. That was enough to show how powerful he was.

In the fifth Research Department, only a few professors had reached the rank of second lieutenant.

All in all, Wu Mo’s efforts over the past few months had crossed a level and height that many researchers had not reached in almost 10 years.

“As expected of a student who has forged a Divine weapon. He has already shown his mettle in just a few months.”

Right then, as Liao Dongcheng stood at the side, he noticed that Wu Mo was neither servile nor overbearing when he received the award. He told himself that Wu Mo was indeed a good seedling.

Thinking about it, he could not wait to talk to him. He wanted to know what kind of thoughts Wu Mo had. How did he create a battle armor that could become invisible?!

Seeing that Brigadier General Liao was walking directly toward Wu Mo, Xu Wuyue and Professor Liu immediately followed him.

Brigadier General Liao was Xu Wuyue’s veteran senior who had worked with him for many years. Liao Dongcheng was highly respected, and he had an irreplaceable position in the southeastern war zone.

Not only was he highly respected, but he also had his own unique insights into the field of forging.

In the southeastern theater of operations, Brigadier General Liao had made indelible contributions in countless battles against the invading Ten Thousand Races. As such, when he visited the fifth Research Department, the professors and senior researchers paid so much attention to him.

Hence, as long as Brigadier General Liao focused on Wu Mo, he would definitely be able to soar in the future.

Seeing Brigadier General Liao head toward Wu Mo, Xu Wuyue was afraid that something would go wrong, so quickly followed.

The others also walked up hastily, afraid that they would miss Brigadier General Liao’s speech.

“Comrade Wu Mo, Congratulations on obtaining the third-class Model Scientific Research Medal. You must cherish this honor.”

Liao Dongcheng approached Wu Mo from the front. He smiled and cupped his hands to congratulate him.

Wu Mo’s expression changed. He saw how the this person’s entire body was exuding a fierce aura. He had to be one of the commanders in the war zone, so Wu Mo replied with a serious expression.

“Thank you for your concern and approval, Sir. Regarding the Invisibility Armor’s improvement, I will definitely do my best.”

Hearing Wu Mo’s reply, Liao Dongcheng nodded his head in approval.

“The Invisibility Armor’s improvement should indeed be on the agenda, but I am a little curious about how you connected the invisibility effect with the wings of the Dark Light Butterflies. As far as I know, the wings of those butterflies do not have such a function!”

Liao Dongcheng changed the subject and immediately asked Wu Mo the question that had troubled him for almost a day.

What surprised him the most about the armor forged by Wu Mo was the invisibility function.

He could not sleep at night and figure out the trick, especially after reading the project’s information, which stated that the armor’s invisibility function actually relied on Dark Light Wings.

Wu Mo, who was standing at the entrance of the courtyard, finally understood the purpose of Brigadier General Liao’s visit when he heard what the man said.

He did not expect his improvement plan to attract a big shot from the war zone to personally visit him.

However, it was also a little convenient for him. After all, Liao Dongcheng was the head of the Military Research and Development Department. His understanding of standard armor was definitely higher than his. When the time came, he might even be able to give him some guidance and advice.

Once Wu Mo thought of the opportunity to discuss with the head of military research and development, he immediately began to talk non-stop.

“General Liao, actually, making armor invisible does not require sophisticated technology. The reason why it can achieve the effect of invisibility is mainly because of the Dark Light Wings’ characteristics. All you need to do is to stick the wings to the surface of the armor when it is cast and install a device that can shift the angle freely.”

“When that happens, the ores embedded on the armor will provide energy, allowing the Dark Light wings on the armor’s surface to shift the angle automatically according to the surrounding environment, eventually forming the effect of physical invisibility.”

When he reached this point, Wu Mo immediately took out the Invisibility Armor from his Interspatial Ring so that Brigadier General Liao could easily understand him. Then, he kept the award as well as epaulets.

A white light flashed in front of him, and Liao Dongcheng saw the Invisibility Armor that was the same as in the picture. It appeared in Wu Mo’s hands.

Under the sunlight’s refraction, the Invisibility Armor, which was the color of the starry sky, immediately glowed.

Wu Mo used his hand to gently touch the armor’s surface. Soon after, the Dark Light Wings on the armor immediately changed angles, making a small part of the armor invisible.

Although Liao Dongcheng had already seen the Invisibility Armor’s effect in the project file, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

It was hard to imagine that the 20-year-old graduate student standing in front of him had such a wonderful idea to apply the Dark Light Wings to such extent. Others thought they were useless and did not even store them the material banks.

That showed how imaginative Wu Mo’s idea was!

“General Liao, this is my humble work. You can have a look at it,” Wu Mo said and immediately handed the Invisibility Armor over to him.
