Special Alloy.
It was not actually a new term.
As early as the days on Earth, humanity had already developed dozens, even hundreds, of special metals with different properties and uses.
They had been widely applied in certain basic industries, providing indispensable support for technological development.
Later, when Lü Kuan and the others came to the Wasteland through the portal, they had merely added some elements unique to the Wasteland by accident. Only then, standing on the shoulders of giants, had they explored a new path.
Exotic High-Energy Alloy.
That was the unified name for the alloys born from humanity's new synthesis methods four years after the Wasteland began.
Through discovering, adding, experimenting with, and verifying more and more elements.
Humanity had added these Wasteland-exclusive "exotic" elements to existing metals and used special preparation methods to produce more and more high-energy alloys with astonishing functions.
At the same time, however, the threshold for using these high-energy alloys had gradually risen.
After receiving the materials, Su Mo spent an entire day melting and processing them, yet managed to complete only the initial treatment of one percent of the alloy.
After that, these initially processed alloys still had to undergo three more rounds of fine processing to eliminate all the external stresses produced during manufacturing before they could be used to make the Sun Chasing Armor.
"Can't rush this!"
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once I become familiar with the preparation process, my speed will definitely increase."
Su Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead and carefully stored all the alloys in his Storage Space before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
If he were not processing the alloys to manufacture the Sun Chasing Armor.
With his status as the vice dean of the territory's Academy of Sciences, he could
