Watching him skillfully operate the machine tools, picking up metal stock and quickly cutting and shaping it, Dr. Wang Miao frowned. "What are you making?"
"A basic suit of power armor and some weapons. Earth's equipment is too outdated, so I'll have to make them myself."
The giant replied. Under his control, components were rapidly machined one after another. The experts monitoring him through the cameras soon realized that he didn't need the precision of CNC machines at all. With only the most basic cutting functions, he could easily turn raw material into usable components.
A few hours later, the components were assembled, and a suit of power armor nearly four meters tall stood on the floor.
It hadn't been painted. Its silver-gray surface gleamed under the lights.
"That's it? It's done?" Dr. Wang Miao had watched Shi Qiang build the power armor from scratch, and now he was too stunned to close his mouth.

As the armor opened, Shi Qiang stepped forward and climbed inside. In just a few breaths, the half-biological, half-mechanical power armor wrapped around him like a living creature.
Shi Qiang now looked like a metal giant. He moved around the machine shop as a crowd of mechanical engineers and senior officers from the allied forces, summoned by the news, watched him as if he were an alien.
"Looks like we'll need to have a serious talk." General Chang Weisi looked
