"Shocking?" Lin Mo was dumbfounded.
What genius had come up with that name?
"It's Zheng as in the surname, and jin as in metal," Secretary Li corrected him before continuing:
"Academician Zheng Gold, a materials scientist, tried adding several rare metals unique to Blue Star while studying the Holy Human Race armor you sent back. During an accidental electrolysis experiment, he discovered this entirely new alloy and named it after himself."
"Its molecular structure is extremely unusual, remaining almost completely still, which means it conducts almost no heat or kinetic energy."
After speaking, Secretary Li picked up a metal paperweight from the table and struck the sheet of Zheng Gold hard.
Clang!
A crisp ring rang out.
The paperweight bounced away, but Lin Mo felt not the slightest vibration in the hand holding the metal sheet.
Secretary Li continued:
"As you can see, it absorbs the vast majority of kinetic energy."
"Also, it weighs only a third as much as an equal volume of steel, but as for its strength..."
"Our laboratories have yet to find an effective way to destroy it with kinetic energy. We can only destroy it by using another special material to dissolve its molecular structure."
"The only drawback is its extremely high production cost, and the fact that it requires the metal from that armor on the Terra Continent as its base material."
Holding the sheet of metal called Zheng Gold, Lin Mo had a flash of inspiration.
Controlled nuclear fusion technology had solved the problem of unlimited energy.
Exoskeleton technology had solved the problems of individual power and load-bearing platforms.
Now they also had this ultralight alloy, virtually indestructible and capable of absorbing energy...
Lin Mo looked up, his breathing growing a little rapid.
"Secretary Li, I have an idea."
"A miniaturized nuclear fusion
