Captain Li Yi frowned slightly as he analyzed the situation.
The soldier beside him, Lin Zhe, felt indignant. After hearing the captain talk about the key issue, he immediately added, “Also, the invisibility cloak’s appearance wasn’t within our considerations at all. That’s why we were caught off guard.
“If we’re given another chance, even if Captain Shen Qing wears the invisibility cloak, he won’t be able to deal us such a heavy blow.”
Lin Zhe clenched his fists, his face becoming slightly red from excitement.
“Besides, Captain Shen Qing wore an invisibility cloak and attacked me with a melee weapon. Actually, I had already discovered his presence at that time, but because I didn’t have a suitable weapon, I couldn’t block his attack at all and was hit.
“It would be great if I could develop a lighter, nimbler, and less exposed melee weapon.
“When that happens, we won’t have to be afraid even if an enemy wearing the invisibility cloak gets close to us. We can end the battle quickly.”
Wu Mo’s eyes lit up when he heard the words of the soldier named Zhu Xuan.
He had been invited to observe the combat exercise in North China’s Third Military Region to understand the current soldiers and what kind of new weapons they needed.
Now, he had gained some enlightenment after watching the exercise.
With the addition of Zhu Xuan’s opinion, he had many ideas in his mind.
What he needed to do now was find a quiet place and realize these ideas one by one.
He frowned slightly and began to think seriously, trying to find a weapon that met the above conditions.
However, that was not the only thing he had to do.
After asking the questions, Wu Mo asked Captain Shen Qing alone about the feeling of wearing the stealth armor.
The latter’s personality was more straightforward and he did not drag things out.
After hearing Wu Mo’s question, he immediately told him everything he had experienced and felt.
He thought Wu Mo was a reporter or a commander’s subordinate and had never touched the Invisibility Armor before.
Therefore, he never thought that the young man in front of him was the blacksmith who made the Invisibility rmor.
“I think this is a very magical piece of clothing. It’s very light, the surface is cold, and it’s very comfortable to wear. It’s also very breathable.”
“When I wear this, not only am I running fast, but I’m also fighting in close combat. However, I don’t even have a drop of sweat on me. I have to say that the master who made this armor is simply a master.”
Shen Qing spoke non-stop. His expression was excited, and he was dancing as if he was sharing a wonderful experience with Wu Mo.
When Wu Mo heard Shen Qing praise the Invisibility Armor, he was secretly pleased.
He thought in his heart, ‘Once the improvement of the Invisibility Armor is completed and it’s successfully mass-produced, if I let Shen Qing try on the second-generation Invisibility Armor, wouldn’t he fly?’
However, these were just his inner thoughts. On the surface, his expression was still calm. As he nodded to himself, he took out his phone and took notes with a serious look.
“Alright, the mock battle ends here. All soldiers, please return to your troops immediately.
Platoon Commander Ren Bin immediately shouted. The soldiers standing on the field immediately stood in their military positions.
Shen Qing waved goodbye to Wu Mo and returned to his team.
As for Wu Mo, he looked at Shen Qing’s departing figure, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
“What an interesting person. I hope we can meet again next time,” he muttered.
The next moment, the two commanders and Company Commander Zhang immediately walked toward him.
Wu Mo quickly hid the smile on his face and became serious.
“Congratulations, leaders. The exercise went on without a hitch.”
“Haha, the success of this exercise is all thanks to Wu Mo’s Invisibility Armor. Not only did it broaden the soldiers’ horizons, but it also proved the invisibility cloak’s effects on the battlefield.”
Zheng Shaohui, the head of the R&D Department, instantly stepped forward, held Wu Mo’s hand, and spoke with a smile.
“That’s not true. I’m just an ordinary graduate student. It’s my honor to be able to help the soldiers and the country.”
Wu Mo waved his hand and replied with a humble expression.
“It’s not easy to find a young man like you in the fifth Research Department. I hope that you’ll be able to stick to your true intentions and visit the Third Military Region more often in the future, Comrade Wu Mo,” Company Commander Zhang said with a smile.
His sharp face, which was reflective of a tough man, now had a trace of kindness.
“Alright, I’ll definitely come here more often in the future.”
Wu Mo was a little surprised by the enthusiasm of the leaders before him.
He was just an ordinary graduate student who had been invited. In the past, he would not have been invited at all. Even though he was qualified, he would just sit in the back row and quietly watch things unfold like everyone else.
It was impossible to get such preferential treatment.
“Comrade Wu Mo, we have a lot of soldiers in the Third MR. If you have equipment that you want to test next time, you can come to me for help. I’ll definitely allocate a few groups of people for you to do a comparison test. I promise to arrange everything for you,” the department head, Chu Yi, promptly said when he saw the opportunity.
The people around him were all excited.
They had seen the effects of the Invisibility Armor in the command room. Even though they already knew about it in advance, they were still shocked.
At the same time, they thought that if Wu Mo could make new equipment for the Third Military Region in advance, it would greatly increase the combat strength of their soldiers.
When the soldiers’ combat ability increased, the higher-ups would also place more importance on the Third Military Region.
If there was anything good down the line, it would be arranged for the Third Military Region first. For example, the teachings of high-level cultivators and special training for the soldiers’ physique.
These had all been rare opportunities in the past.
As long as they could show that they were stronger than the other military regions, these opportunities would definitely be given to them. They would be the first to participate.
Therefore, it was necessary to build a good relationship with a genius blacksmith like Wu Mo.
“Comrade Wu Mo, why don’t you consider staying for dinner tonight? I’ll arrange for you to meet with the battalion commander,” Company Commander Zhang said tentatively.
Wu Mo shook his head and said, “Thank you for your invitation, but I still have some projects to complete at the Research Department. I have to go back early. See you next time.”
Seeing that Wu Mo had already made up his mind to leave, the leaders had to agree since they could not force him to stay.
“Okay, I’ll contact Little Sun now and ask him to send you back to the fifth Research Department.”
Company Commander Zhang took out his phone and immediately contacted Sun Siqin.
After a short while, the liaison, Sun Siqin, rushed over. Behind him were four other four-star cultivators who were all ready to go. They were prepared to set off together to escort Wu Mo back.
