Upgrading Chen Mo's armor was not actually difficult. The more than thirty similarly designed suits in Tony Stark's Super Armory made that clear. The core design of these suits had not changed much; the main improvements lay in the performance upgrades to their various systems and components.
The biggest change was no more than the disassembly and deployment function of Mark XLII. This design allowed the suit to break apart into many pieces, fly automatically onto the wearer, and assemble itself.
However, this disassembly deployment function was of little use to Chen Mo. It was actually not as fast as his original method of putting the armor on as a whole.
Chen Mo normally stored his armor in his spatial storage with the rear armor opened. When he needed to suit up, he only had to take the armor out of storage against his body and close the opened rear armor. He could complete the process in a fraction of a second.
This disassembly deployment method involved more complicated transformations of each component, so it took longer to finish suiting up. Moreover, this method of assembly had a major flaw: it was not very sturdy!
Because the connections between the interlocking components were not stable enough, a strong impact could easily cause the suit to fall apart. It was nowhere near as durable as Chen Mo's armor, which was a single whole to begin with!
Therefore, Chen Mo's Iron Man suit did not need major modifications. Its original systems and components merely needed to be upgraded and replaced!
Tony Stark had previously been madly manufacturing suits, so the laboratory had more than enough spare components. The two immediately began upgrading Chen Mo's armor!
The outer Adamantium Armor naturally did not need to be touched. No matter how much of a
