The Lord, So This Was All Part of Your Plan!

The outside world resounded with gongs and drums, while shouts rang through the heavens.

The Carefree Group's resident laboratory.

Su Mo was completely unaffected. He remained fixated on the tiny component before him, carefully polishing it with a file.

Before long, a burst of white vapor rose from the cooling pool beside him. The final component to be embedded in the helmet was finally complete. "Phew, the sixth attempt. It finally meets the requirements!"

He picked up the formed component delivered by the Mechanical Arm and placed it into the instrument beside him for testing.

Seeing the 99.31% displayed on the screen, Su Mo let out a long sigh of relief, and his entire body relaxed.

As it turned out, the reason powered armor had never become popular in modern warfare was that its manufacturing process was simply too difficult.

Its high-precision requirements demanded a corresponding industrial system. Otherwise, even manufacturing a single component could be impossibly difficult, let alone mass-producing it.

The central regulation buffer component in the helmet, which had the highest precision requirements, had taken Su Mo three whole days of filing. He had failed five times in a row.

Only this time had he finally succeeded.

And among the remaining components, there were plenty more like this. It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to produce the armor quickly.

"I can only grind away at it slowly. I'll make these most important ones first."

He placed the component into the helmet for the final fusion. Just as Su Mo was sighing inwardly and preparing to continue making parts,

someone suddenly knocked on the laboratory door.

"Come in." He pressed a button on the desk, and the Mechanical Arm holding the component automatically carried the mask and materials on the desk down below.

The
