"That's right, the power of the Iron Armor is indeed quite formidable."
Chen Mu nodded. Compared to the conventional weapons of various countries, the existence of Iron Man was practically cheating. Just one Iron Man was enough to match thousands of troops!
"If such a weapon were to fall into the hands of the US military, the consequences would be unimaginable..."
Xu Jia's expression darkened. If such powerful weaponry fell into the hands of the American army, it would be bad news for the entire world.
Although the United States and China were not in a state of hostility, there was still competition in many areas. As the world's sole superpower, the United States often suppressed China, fearing that China would threaten its position. They would even invade Chinese territory for various reasons.
Even with China's strength, other countries fared even worse.
Under the guise of "maintaining world peace," wherever the US military went in the Middle East, South America, or Southeast Asia, it brought devastation.
"We don't have to worry about this problem for now."
Chen Mu had great confidence in this. Tony had chosen to refuse to hand over the Iron Armor technology to the US military precisely because he saw this point, fearing that his weapons would cause further bloodshed.
Therefore, in this world, even after Thanos descended upon Earth more than a decade later, the US military had not obtained this technology from Tony. They only had the suit that he had given to Colonel Rhodey.
It was this Mark II suit that the US military had never been able to fully understand, making replication impossible.
"Why?"
Xu Jia put down the documents and looked at Chen Mu. Did he have some inside information from Tony?
As someone from the government, Xu Jia was extremely interested in any information.
"Tony doesn't want a second Iron Man to exist! Haha!"
Chen Mu said with a smile, though this was more of a jest and not the real reason.
"..."
Xu Jia naturally knew this as well. Chen Mu's answer made her unable to resist rolling her eyes.
"You've seen how powerful the Iron Armor is. What do you think would happen if all the soldiers of a country could be equipped with this armor?"
Chen Mu looked at Xu Jia.
"Not all soldiers are needed. Even a small team equipped with it could easily decide the outcome of a war."
Xu Jia was very certain of this.
With Iron Man's capabilities, let alone a legion, even a small team could overthrow a country!
"That's right, and that's what I want to do!"
Upon hearing Xu Jia's words, Chen Mu said with great spirit, "I want to build an army for China composed of Iron Armor! And every soldier's suit will be more advanced than Tony's!"
"This..."
Hearing Chen Mu's "grand ambition," Xu Jia was startled and looked at him with disbelief. At this moment, Xu Jia's perception of Chen Mu finally improved significantly.
This was a truly patriotic person!
Although the idea seemed a bit too unrealistic, it didn't stop Xu Jia from developing a good impression of him.
"Good luck."
So, Xu Jia didn't discourage Chen Mu further and offered words of encouragement.
"What? You still don't believe I can build Iron Armor?"
Chen Mu looked speechless.
"..."
Xu Jia didn't speak, but smiled slightly, letting her expression convey everything.
"Alright, in a month, I'll personally deliver a set of Iron Armor to you!"
Chen Mu sighed. Was he supposed to admit that he had already stolen Tony's technology and could build the armor at any time?
That was clearly impossible!
So, he planned to return to China and let his actions speak for themselves. He would build a few suits first!
Of course, simply replicating the Mark II wouldn't suffice.
He glanced at the research progress of the Huaqiangbei System. The research progress for the Jarvis system had reached fifty percent. He believed that by the time the plane landed, he could upgrade Jarvis and create it himself.
His factory truly needed a powerful intelligent system for management.
"Haha, that's great! The Huaqiangbei Industrial Park has already been established?"
Time passed quickly. Due to the cooperation with the government, Chen Mu's industrial park was quickly completed, and many pieces of equipment were fully operational.
When he heard this news, more than half a month had already passed. Chen Mu was very excited when he learned this from Xu Jia.
The location of the Huaqiangbei Industrial Zone, just like in his previous life, was in Shenzhen.
"Let's go, I can't wait to build my own armor!"
Chen Mu said to Xu Jia beside him before getting into the car.
A few days prior, he had already arrived in Shenzhen, waiting to move into Huaqiangbei and then immediately begin manufacturing his own Iron Armor!
After Chen Mu received the money from Tony, his first step was to go directly to Shenzhen and rent a piece of land. This was precisely the location of Huaqiangbei in his previous life. In this world, it was just a desolate wasteland. Thanks to his relationship with Director Zhang, he quickly secured the land and began constructing his own industrial park.
The initial Huaqiangbei Industrial Park was very small, only a few hectares in area. However, despite its small size, it was fully equipped. Many cutting-edge domestic and international pieces of equipment were procured. While it might not have been comparable to Tony's Stark Industries park, it was certainly on par with Hammer Industries' park!
With the technology in this park, it was certainly no problem to manufacture an Iron Armor!
Most importantly, the Mark II had already achieved a technological breakthrough many days ago. The current Mark II had improved performance in all aspects and could carry stronger weapons. In particular, the technology for the reactor and the intelligent program had also been upgraded, greatly enhancing the suit's capabilities.
In summary, the technology in Chen Mu's hands was even stronger than the Iron Man technology Tony currently possessed!
This was the power of Huaqiangbei. Even though I copied you, I can still create something more advanced than you!
So, aren't you angry!
The Arc Reactor upgrade was no worse than the reactor Tony would upgrade later. As expected, it used a new element, making its power output stronger. At the same time, it could easily solve Tony's palladium poisoning problem, provided, of course, that Chen Mu was willing to share this technology with Tony...
And the Jarvis system had also evolved. Its intelligence had advanced further, not even inferior to the future Ultron!
Of course, since it was upgraded by the Huaqiangbei System and without the influence of the Mind Stone, Jarvis at this moment did not have "independent" consciousness and was very safe.
