Obtaining the Formulas

With Chen Mo's confirmation, Howard swallowed hard and slowly curled his finger around the trigger.

He looked up at Chen Mo and saw that he was still standing steadily in place without moving, showing no intention of calling a stop. Finally, Howard steeled himself, gritted his teeth, and pulled the trigger.

"Click! Click! Click!..."

Rapid, thunderous gunfire erupted as dense bullets burst from the muzzle amid flashes of flame, striking Chen Mo squarely in the chest in an instant.

The continuous barrage threw off showers of sparks across Chen Mo's body, but it only made him tremble slightly. His feet did not shift in the slightest, while the constant clang of bullets striking alloy armor rang out without pause.

When the gunfire stopped, Chen Mo, clad in the Alloy Combat Suit, was still standing in the same position. The ground before him was littered with countless deformed bullets, while his armor was completely undamaged apart from a little chipped paint that exposed the bright silver alloy beneath.

Howard, having emptied the weapon, stared dumbfounded at the figure standing firmly before him. He could hardly imagine that Chen Mo, wearing alloy armor, had emerged completely unharmed after being continuously struck by 12.7mm heavy machine gun rounds capable of tearing a human body in half.

After all, even if Adamantium could stop bullets, the tremendous kinetic energy they carried would still be transmitted to the wearer. Its destructive force was not much weaker than the bullets' penetrating power alone.

This was precisely what Chen Mo had wanted to test, and clearly, the results were a success.

After striking the Adamantium armor, the bullets were blocked by the armor, while their kinetic energy was dispersed across the entire armor plate before being transferred to the muscles perfectly fitted against it.

The armor Chen Mo had meticulously designed according to his own physical data perfectly distributed the impact it received.

With his enhanced bones and muscles possessing six times the strength of an ordinary person's, enduring the dispersed impact was no problem at all. The instant the bullets hit, Chen Mo only felt the armor at the point of impact shake as a force traveled through it, then was cushioned and absorbed by his solid muscles. He did not even feel any pain.

It had to be said that the perfectly designed alloy armor, combined with indestructible Adamantium, gave the combat suit astonishing defensive capabilities.

Chen Mo was very satisfied with the test results. The 12.7mm heavy machine gun rounds capable of penetrating a one-centimeter-thick steel plate were already nearly the most powerful ammunition among infantry weapons. The famous Barrett Heavy Sniper Rifle also used 12.7mm rounds; aside from rate of fire and accuracy, their power was virtually identical.

The grenades and rifle grenades tested afterward also failed to shake Chen Mo beneath the armor's protection. Although their explosions were more powerful, with the armor completely blocking the blast fragments and flames, the impact per unit area was far inferior to that of heavy machine gun rounds.

With this armor, Chen Mo could basically ignore all current infantry weapon attacks.

Even against artillery shells, Chen Mo estimated that taking one head-on would not be much of a problem. At most, the impact might injure him internally, but it would not endanger his life. Of course, that was assuming they could lock onto and hit him. With Chen Mo's extraordinarily sharp senses, that was practically impossible.

"That's insanely tough! You're practically a humanoid tank now!"

Stars glittered in Howard's dark panda eyes, and his voice was filled with admiration and envy.

"Want to try it?" Chen Mo removed his armored visor and asked Howard with an amused smile as he watched his eyes light up.

Howard's heart leaped with joy at the words, and he was just about to nod when Chen Mo abruptly changed his tone.

"We haven't tested the Rocket Launcher yet."

Howard hurriedly shook his head and said righteously, "No need! I'm a scientist."

"Oh, right. Your armor's paint is chipped. Hurry up and take it off so I can touch it up!"

After leaving the underground laboratory, Chen Mo and Howard returned to the Martial Arts School.

Chen Mo wore the Adamantium armor directly beneath his suit. From the outside, he merely appeared a little more muscular. No one would have guessed that beneath his clothes was a miraculous suit capable of withstanding shells and explosions.

Besides the Alloy Combat Suit, Chen Mo also took the shield made from Adamantium and the replica King's Sword. In addition, he took the ten doses of Improved Serum prepared by Dr. Erskine. However, his most valuable gains were the two sets of formulas now stored in his mind.

The complete formulas and recipes for the Super Soldier Serum and Adamantium!

In other words, even if Chen Mo returned to the real world in the future, he could manufacture Super Soldier Serum himself. This would play an extremely important role in building his power in the real world and could be considered a powerful trump card.

The Adamantium formula was equally significant. As long as he brought enough Vibranium back to the real world, Chen Mo could synthesize Adamantium according to the formula and manufacture whatever weapons and equipment he wanted at any time.

After all, once Adamantium had taken shape, it could no longer be processed. To make new equipment from Adamantium, mastering the alloy formula was an essential prerequisite.

After everything that had happened, Dr. Erskine trusted Chen Mo deeply. As he had said, without Chen Mo, he might have died at the hands of HYDRA spies long ago, let alone created the Enhanced Serum and the Improved Serum.

Therefore, while giving Chen Mo ten doses of serum, the doctor also handed over the complete formulas and recipes for all three types of Super Soldier Serum.

As for Dr. MacLane, there was even less to say. Chen Mo was originally his "boss." Chen Mo had recruited him and provided him with an enormous quantity of Vibranium beyond anything he could have imagined, allowing him to successfully develop Adamantium in such a short time.

Dr. MacLane naturally felt it was only right to hand his research results over to his "boss." They had provided so many precious resources for your research—if you did not promptly hand over the results, did you want your "boss" to chase you down with the King's Sword and chop you up?

Not only did Dr. MacLane hold nothing back regarding Adamantium, he also gave Chen Mo the formula for "Alpha Alloy," which he had previously developed from conventional materials when he had no Vibranium available.

What use was the formula to him? As long as the boss was pleased and prepared more Vibranium for his experiments, that was better than anything else.

Dr. MacLane had drawn inspiration from Chen Mo's King's Sword and found a new direction for his research. After handing the formula to Chen Mo, he only asked Chen Mo to provide him with more Vibranium, then once again threw himself wholeheartedly into new experiments.

Although he now had the alloy formula, Chen Mo still did not let the doctor off so easily. Before leaving the laboratory, Chen Mo gave him two more blueprints. One was for the Throwing Knives he used. Chen Mo believed that Throwing Knives forged from Adamantium would be far more powerful in his hands than armor-piercing rounds, and piercing tank armor would be no problem.

The other set of blueprints was for an armored combat suit designed according to Steve's build. Chen Mo planned to give his "Captain America" disciple, who was still working as a celebrity, a surprise.
