Lü Yongchang raised his eyebrows slightly.
The news came as no surprise to him.
He had suspected as much when he heard that Zhu Ziwen had come to see him.
Now that his guess had been confirmed, Lü Yongchang's smile grew a little broader.
"Oh?"
He cheerfully asked Zhu Ziwen, "What features did you add to the Exoskeleton Armor? Let's hear them."
As he spoke, he picked up the pouch of drinking water beside him and took a sip.
"Compared with the first-generation Exoskeleton Armor, the Second-Generation Exoskeleton Armor primarily improves individual combat capability."
Zhu Ziwen's very first sentence left Lü Yongchang stunned.
"First, the Second-Generation Exoskeleton Armor uses a fully enclosed design, and we chose carbyne for the outer shell."
"We don't produce enough star gold-carbyne composite," Zhu Ziwen explained quietly.
"The armor's outer shell uses an entirely new structure that minimizes the force of external impacts."
"As for power..."
"We originally wanted to use a Miniature Antimatter Engine, but it's still too bulky and would severely compromise the Exoskeleton Armor's mobility."
Zhu Ziwen shyly raised a hand to scratch the back of his head, giving an embarrassed smile. "We had no choice but to use the latest Miniature Fusion Reactor as its power core for now."
Lü Yongchang: "..."
Was that how you were supposed to use an Antimatter Engine?

"Wasteful?"
Zhu Ziwen frowned slightly and shook his head repeatedly. "We ran the calculations. The power output is just right. None of it goes to waste."
Lü Yongchang: "...???"
Suddenly, an outrageous possibility occurred to him.
"Wait. First, tell me how
