More Advanced Than You

Tony could never have imagined that Chen Mu's technology was actually "plagiarized" from him.

Back then, when he touched the Arc Reactor in front of Obadiah, Chen Mu had already obtained the technology for the Arc Reactor. Afterwards, under the guise of being an Iron Man "fanboy," he had Tony lend him the Mark 2 for a spin, which allowed him to touch the Iron Man armor and acquire its technology completely.

This also included the micro-reactor on the Mark 2, as well as the connected Jarvis intelligent program, all of which Chen Mu took with him.

Now, another month had passed, and Chen Mu had long since integrated all of this old technology, even improving upon it. He had even transformed the advanced version of the Mark 2 into the Qilin Armor and delivered it directly to the military.

In the current era, many "superheroes" had not yet emerged. Tony, as Iron Man, was relatively active, and given his status, many people around the world had witnessed the power of the Iron Man armor.

Naturally, upon receiving the Qilin Armor, Director Zhang was overjoyed and gave Chen Mu more convenience, allocating land and funds without hesitation, leading to the rise of the Huaqiangbei Industrial Park.

Furthermore, due to the importance of the Qilin Armor, Director Zhang even dispatched additional troops to set up defenses around the Huaqiangbei Industrial Zone to protect the data held within.

Of course, another role for these troops was to monitor Huaqiangbei, preventing it from engaging in any "treasonous" activities.

Chen Mu was indifferent to this. After all, his Qilin Armor was prepared for the military. He deeply understood that only when his country possessed strong power would he have sufficient confidence when acting abroad!

After all, Chen Mu had no desire to be a "superhero." Although he could manufacture powerful armor, he would absolutely not, like Tony, wear the armor himself and charge into battle.

The realization of the great rejuvenation of China was not just an empty phrase, nor could it be achieved by Chen Mu becoming powerful alone. Its realization required all Chinese people to shoulder this responsibility!

Chen Mu had a clear understanding of himself. Compared to the soldiers who truly protected the country, he was nothing. For the country to be strong, he needed to make the nation's military strong!

"This, is this armor you made?"

Looking at the ink-black armor beside Chen Mu, Tony seemed incredulous, unsure of what to say for a moment.

"How is it? Looks pretty good, right?"

Chen Mu appeared quite proud.

Little brat, who was it that said I could never create the Iron Man armor?

And who said that if I managed to build the armor with my own strength, they would authorize me to use it?

"My armor is different from yours, and my reactor is completely different from yours too. So, this shouldn't be considered infringement, right? Therefore, there's no need for your authorization."

Chen Mu said with a smile. Currently, his reactor was much more powerful than Tony's, and the materials used were completely new. Therefore, it couldn't be considered infringement.

"My reactor's power output should be several times stronger than yours. How about it? Do you want it? I'll authorize you to use it directly? No authorization fee kind?"

Chen Mu was very proud at this moment, looking at Tony and asking with a smile.

At the same time, Chen Mu was well aware that his reactor could save Tony's life!

Tony was already suffering from palladium poisoning, but he had no choice but to use his current reactor. Otherwise, the shrapnel in his heart would directly kill him. The only way to survive was to replace the reactor's materials.

And this was something Chen Mu's reactor could achieve.

"I'll consider it..."

Tony's eye twitched, and he said in a low voice.

Being so proud, how could he admit defeat? He absolutely would not admit that Chen Mu's armor was more advanced than his!

"So, how do you plan to use your armor?"

Tony frowned again, looking at the armor beside Chen Mu, his heart filled with worry as he asked.

"It's called the Qilin Mark 1 Prototype. Unfortunately, I don't have many weapons, otherwise, it would definitely be stronger than your armor."

Chen Mu said with some regret.

This was also the reality in China. As an ordinary person, Chen Mu could not research weapons in his country, so this made Tony a little relieved.

Fortunately, the weapons aren't as good as mine...

Of course, this was just Chen Mu speaking casually. In reality, his armor's weapon system was more advanced than Tony's, but to conceal some of his strength, Chen Mu did not say it directly.

Moreover, saying this was also a way to somewhat save Tony's face.

"But fortunately, the Chinese Military has pre-ordered my Qilin Mark 1 and authorized me to use some weapons, so self-defense shouldn't be a problem."

Chen Mu smiled calmly.

"What? You gave the armor to the military?!"

Upon hearing this, Tony, who was on the other side of the ocean,'s eyes widened in shock. He exclaimed, "Absolutely not! Such dangerous weapons absolutely cannot be handed over to the military! It will cause huge casualties! Absolutely not!"

When Tony had previously witnessed the devastating destruction caused by his country's weapons in the Middle East, he began to resist the military. Therefore, when the military demanded he hand over his armor, even using "righteousness" to pressure him, he did not comply. After using some tactics, he managed to keep his armor.

However, he could never have imagined that Chen Mu, on the other side of the ocean, had also developed an armor, and even more unimaginable was that he would directly hand it over to the Chinese military!

The situation he least wanted to see had actually happened!

"Heh, do you think the Chinese military is the same as your American military?"

At this point, Chen Mu said with a hint of mockery. He looked at Tony and said seriously, "Have you ever seen the Chinese military point their guns at ordinary people? Or deliberately provoke incidents? Have you seen them carry guns while rescuing disaster victims?"

"This..."

That was true. Since the founding of New China, although its military strength had rapidly developed, it had never invaded any country!

The few victorious wars were all defensive counterattacks, and their guns were always aimed at invaders!

In this regard, it was worlds apart from the American military!

The American military was the gun in the hands of capitalists, and for the interests of capitalists, they could point it at anyone!

Even at defenseless, innocent civilians!

"The Chinese military is a military that protects its own country. What's wrong with me giving the armor to them?"

On this point, Tony was speechless.

It was not for any other reason than that the Chinese military had the best reputation in the world. No country's soldiers could compare to them.
