Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 125 Bio-Armor

With Qiao Yuwei gone, the main access to the laboratory tools was handed over to Wu Ou.

Looking at the product that had been produced once again, Leng Yue quickly discerned its structure after covering it with her mental energy.

"This is actually a metal!"

Looking at this jelly-like substance, your first instinct would never be to think it's anything hard.

"This is bio-metallic material, but it is only the most basic one. It needs to be combined with bio-neurotechnology and electronic chip technology to play a greater role."

Wu Ou took the prepared items from Bai Zhou, and after the biological nervous system was connected, he signaled Hu Meng to place his right arm on it.

At first glance, it looks like a 'cushion', but as Hu Meng inputs energy, the chip is activated and quickly changes.

The original gel covered Hu Meng's arm, and even his original clothes were quickly broken down and absorbed, completely enveloping him from his shoulders to his fingertips.

"How do you feel?" Wu Ou's mental energy was stabilized on Hu Meng's arm, constantly monitoring the changes.

"Uh, it feels like one of those waterbeds. Except the clothes are gone, and my arms feel a bit dry." Hu Meng said as he moved around a few times, without any sense of sluggishness, as if it wasn't armor but a piece of clothing.

In fact, it feels even less restrictive to normal activities than some tight-fitting clothes.

"Very good, let's begin the second step of testing: the consciousness communication chip, and the external treatment of the armor." Wu Ou nodded; the first step went smoothly as he had anticipated.

If even this step is problematic, then all that time he's spent has been wasted.

Soon, a metallic luster began to appear in the dark green jelly, and then the change in its surface from 'soft' to 'hard' was clearly visible.

If the situation just now looked like a close-fitting latex suit, then...

So now, it's like adding an outer armor to the inner lining.

"It's amazing. Even though it's metal, I don't feel that much of a burden." Hu Meng tapped the armor with the fingers of his other hand, and the sound of metal colliding was very clear.

However, after moving around for a while, the movements were just as fluid and unrestricted as at the beginning.

Following that, basic tests were conducted on resistance to impact, temperature changes, and acid/alkali liquid corrosion.

The results showed that this biometal material met the standards.

It can protect the user's normal physical condition in the above-mentioned special environments.

"I never imagined that such a small piece of clay could be so useful!"

I think if I had a full set of these, I could even beat the Beastmaster in a one-on-one fight!

After removing his armor, Hu Meng couldn't help but stretch his arms.

Suddenly, I felt that my clothes weren't as "fitting" anymore.

"If that's all there is to it, it can't be considered top-quality material!" Wu Ou smiled.

"By the way, have you guys seen Warriors?"

"Of course I've seen this. It's a long-lasting childhood memory! It's just a pity that later on, in order to buy toys, I ended up with more and more miscellaneous things. I still prefer the simple and unpretentious beauty of data from before," Yan Chi was the first to answer.

"Honestly, I'd love to make one of those classic electronic combat suits! Unfortunately, if I actually followed the description, it would either be an empty shell or my skills wouldn't be up to par!"

At this point, Bai Zhou looked at Wu Ou and said, "This kind of neural technology is probably not just about enabling this material to be metallized!"

Wu Ou nodded, and then the clothes on his body changed directly into the same gel-like state as before, and then quickly transformed into the armor state that everyone was familiar with.

Then there are the weapons, from firearms to melee weapons, the engravings on them are clearly visible.

"Wu Ou, is this a technical means, or is it you..." Leng Yue's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

After all, she knew how special Wu Ou's abilities were.

"Part of it is due to my special abilities. After all, this kind of thing cannot be fully integrated into the human body. I'm thinking about whether to make it into a base layer or a nano-metal coating."

After Wu Ou finished speaking, he put it back into his body, and it turned into normal clothes.

"Of course, another point is that the connection of large mechs or external mech components will definitely rely on this material."

"So, it means I might actually be able to pilot a space mech in my lifetime!" Yan Chi couldn't help but feel excited.

Mecha, that's boys' romance!

"Not only will I be able to pilot mechs, but I'll also be able to perform kung fu while piloting them," Wu Ou said with a smile.

This technology is more flexible than the brain-computer interface or remote consciousness control used before rebirth, thus avoiding the awkward situation where large space mechs are unusable but still have to be used.

"I'm really looking forward to it! Is there anything I can help you with?" He rubbed his hands together, looking excited, as if he wanted to immediately produce the blueprints.

"Could you optimize this architecture for me?"

Wu Ou placed a stack of blueprints on the table.

"Hahaha……"

Everyone else laughed; it was clear that Wu Ou was doing it on purpose.

Of course, Yan Chi didn't really care.

On the other side, Qiao Yuwei stayed by Ma Zhengzhong's side, helping him with data integration and calculation.

As time went by, Ma Zhengzhong's progress remained slow.

In other words, he is now only one step away from success. All that remains is to keep trying and failing to complete the optimal structure and ensure the smooth operation of the entire controlled nuclear fusion generator.

"Actually, I was always amazed when I saw it start up normally time and time again."

This level is something that could only be achieved at least ten years before the disaster struck. Looking at Ma Zhengzhong's tired eyes, Qiao Yuwei couldn't help but sigh.

"Why do you have to do this? Even if you can't finish within the stipulated two weeks, who can erase your contribution?"

Ma Zhengzhong took a sip of coffee and shook his head. "Xiao Wei, you don't understand the significance of this technology."

Qiao Yuwei took a deep breath. "I know what you want to say, the technological development path of civilization itself, right?"

But whether it's the technology obtained from the Tianjingchi Relics of Baicanshan, the Golden Summit Relics of Fogongshan, or even the technology from the underground karst caves of Jincheng, isn't it all an organic combination of the original technology system and the source energy technology system?

The results achieved were truly cosmic-level technology, far exceeding the limitations of our original civilization!

As the technology within the ruins was discovered, the concentration of source energy increased again, leading to the emergence of more source energy warriors, source energy scientists, and superhumans.

Most importantly, the basic military equipment system at the capital base has been restored, satellites have been launched, and the network has been restarted.

Although China has not yet achieved full offline connectivity, basic communication has been restored.

The technologies from the other two intermediate-level relics were naturally also sent to the capital base.

"But they haven't been able to fully analyze these technologies anywhere. At most, they've only used them when the things in the ruins are still usable, haven't they?"

"If they could make something with the same effect themselves instead of just copying it, I would admire them!" Ma Zhengzhong's eyes widened slightly, and the blood vessels in them were particularly noticeable.

After he finished speaking, he handed the data he had just calculated to Qiao Yuwei.

"Thank you for your help."
