7: Chapter 7: Exoskeleton Armor Officially Revealed! A single punch unleashes a sonic boom!!!

Exoskeleton Armor?

The three bigwigs looked at each other.

They could all see the confusion in each other's eyes.

General Li Jingwu spoke up and asked, "Student Lin Mo, did your mentor, Professor Ai Chongfeng, not tell you about the national-level project?"

"Chief Li, my mentor did tell me," Lin Mo replied.

General Li Jingwu became even more curious.

"Then do you know the final outcome of the project?"

"Of course I do. The project failed and was terminated early this year."

General Li Jingwu was utterly baffled.

Knowing that, you still dare to take on this project?

And as a solo research and development effort?

Beside him, Academician Lan Mingcheng's curiosity was piqued, and he seemed quite interested.

However, an expression of displeasure appeared on Xiang Guangming's face.

As expected of Big Cannon Ai's student; just like his teacher, he is as unreliable as ever.

If the country were handed over to people like them, who knows how far it would decline!

He had already decided that he would give the lowest possible score later!

For a student like this, one must ruthlessly crush his ignorance and fearlessness—this was for his own good!

"Hahahaha!"

"You kid, you're interesting!"

General Li Jingwu laughed out loud. "To challenge it despite knowing the truth—you've got some nerve!"

Having said that, General Li Jingwu restrained his smile.

He stared fixedly at Lin Mo and said,

"I won't hide it from you: the national-level Individual Exoskeleton Armor project was initiated and led by the General Armament Department of the Supreme Military Region."

"And I am the person in charge!"

"I don't know who gave you the courage to challenge a project led by academicians, involving eight doctoral researchers, and collaborated on by three major national-level research institutes, all of which ultimately failed!"

"To me, that little spark of inspiration of yours might be worthless in my eyes!"

"You better be mentally prepared!"

Lin Mo smiled indifferently.

Scientific research is the most individualistic heroic endeavor; others are only there to help and assist!

It's not the case that the more people there are, the better it gets!

"Student Lin Mo, begin. Show us your work!"

Lin Mo opened the equipment case.

He took out the armor components one by one and went through a series of operations.

After putting it on, its cool, sci-fi appearance made General Li Jingwu's pupils shrink sharply.

Wearing this matte black alloy armor, Lin Mo looked exactly like a futuristic warrior from a sci-fi movie stepping into reality!

"What the hell!"

"What is Lin Mo doing? Wasn't his project about micro Rocket Guidance?"

"Why is he playing dress-up? Is he trying to be fancy?"

In the observation area, the three roommates who had already finished their defense were full of question marks.

The others basically had the same reaction.

What the hell is this graduate doing?

Instead of doing his defense properly, he suddenly changed into a suit of armor. Is he playing cosplay?

"No!"

Professor Ai Chongfeng, who was in the waiting area and highly experienced, stood up abruptly, looking from afar at the fully armed Lin Mo in the arena.

"What kind of monster has this kid made!"

As a veteran professor of many years, he naturally knew his stuff.

The alloy material used in Lin Mo's armor was something he had never seen before!

It was clearly not simple!

"This student..."

Academician Lan Mingcheng, Xiang Guangming, and all the leaders from the University of Science and Technology of China were instantly captivated by this sci-fi style Exoskeleton Armor.

They were the closest and could see the most clearly.

As bigwigs in the field of technology themselves, their eyes were sharp and discerning.

Lin Mo's Exoskeleton Armor used a new type of alloy material, featured a power unit on the chest, and had nozzles at every joint.

It clearly had some substance to it!

Just then, Lin Mo's next move gave all the leaders on the podium a huge fright!

He lifted his right arm!

He threw a punch forward with force!

The Exoskeleton Armor's power unit was instantly activated, and light blue flames shot out from the joints!

The air was rapidly compressed!

"Bang!!!"

With that charged strike, it actually produced a sonic boom!!!

The sudden, explosive sound echoed throughout the entire scientific research test field!

The special forces soldiers from the Supreme Military Region reacted very quickly.

They immediately rushed to the front of the podium and raised their blast shields to prevent any accidents.

"A sonic boom?" Xiang Guangming said, unable to believe it. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Chief Li, what is going on?"

"Why did an explosion happen just because Student Lin Mo swung his arm?" Academician Lan Mingcheng stood up in fright and hurriedly asked General Li Jingwu.

As the person present who understood Exoskeleton Armor the best, General Li Jingwu was the only one who truly understood!

"I..." General Li Jingwu was completely numb.

How would he know why!

What kind of Exoskeleton Armor can produce an explosion sound with a punch? Does he think it's an aircraft engine?

Everyone in the observation area had basically realized what was happening.

This graduate wasn't playing some cosplay dress-up game!

He was playing for real!!!

In the test field, Lin Mo did not notice the shock of the others.

He continued his demonstration step by step.

He bent his knees slightly and squatted down.

With a light leap, he actually jumped over four meters high with ease!

Landing on the ground with a "boom," the concrete floor was cracked with fine fissures!

"What the hell! Is this a hallucination..." Academician Lan Mingcheng rubbed his eyes hard, completely unable to believe everything before him!
