Chen Mo looked up at the exoskeleton armor in front of him and casually tossed it into a corner of the generator room.
He had no intention of trying it on.
Because he already had the more advanced nano battle suit, which was vastly superior in both defense and offense—an absolute beast.
Way better than the exoskeleton armor.
It was more than enough for his needs.
"System, fuse the exoskeleton armor technology."
As soon as Chen Mo's calm voice fell, a stream of mysterious knowledge surged into his mind like a flood.
The new memories were all related to exoskeleton technology.
Chen Mo closed his eyes and quietly absorbed the information. It was a strange yet amazing feeling. Originally, he had zero knowledge of exoskeleton armor tech, but now, it was as if he had just eaten Doraemon's memory cookie—the unfamiliar knowledge began to integrate with his mind.
And he completely grasped it.
Chen Mo now had a full understanding of the technology, as though he had studied it for decades, instantly becoming a master of the field.
He understood exactly how to build exoskeleton armor and the critical points during manufacturing. Honestly, as long as he had the right materials and tools, he could make a real exoskeleton armor from scratch.
"Master."
"Congratulations on acquiring the exoskeleton armor technology from The Wandering Earth. I can tell you're in a very good mood," said Red Queen, suddenly appearing.
She was still wearing her iconic red dress, hands behind her back, with a slight air of smugness. She looked very much like a stubborn little girl.
"Mhm."
"Of course I'm happy. At the very least, I now have something that can attract the military's attention. Getting a military production license is just around the corner." Chen Mo smiled, then walked out of the generator room, locking the fireproof door behind him with a mechanical lock.
He then walked off.
Red Queen's projection followed closely behind him like a loyal shadow.
At this point, the surveillance system around the nuclear power plant had been fully optimized. As a super AI, Red Queen had complete control over the 5,000-acre area surrounding the plant.
Her projection could appear in any core area equipped with projectors.
"Red Queen."
"Focus your monitoring on the area around the generator room. If anything unusual shows up, alert me immediately," Chen Mo said calmly. The exoskeleton armor was stored in the generator room, making it a restricted zone that needed strict control.
"You don't even need to remind me. I would've done it anyway. Not just the generator room—I'll keep a close eye on all 5,000 acres of this facility. The moment I detect anything strange, you'll be the first to know."
Red Queen lifted her head, her projected eyes locking on Chen Mo. Though the projection was very lifelike, it still had a faint artificial blur.
It was clear—
She was just a projection, not a real human.
At that moment, Red Queen seemed to remember something and spoke again.
"Actually, Master… I think you should just install a full defense system. If any intruders show up, I can handle them for you." She smiled sweetly, looking gentle and harmless—completely unlike the apocalyptic supervillain she was in Resident Evil.
"Aren't we already installing one?" Chen Mo chuckled, walking to a nearby equipment room to begin assembling the components Red Queen had ordered online. The equipment arrived in parts and needed to be assembled into a full defense and counterattack system.
The defense and counterattack system—
Consisted of aerospace-grade titanium alloy fireproof doors + invisible laser system + an electric shock grid.
All key areas would be fitted with fireproof doors made from aerospace-grade titanium alloy, combined with a shock grid system. If unauthorized personnel attempted to break in, they would be automatically shocked—either stunned or killed.
A little "nuclear plant electric leakage" incident sounds plausible, right?
Heh.
Honestly, the shock grid alone was enough to take out most intruders.
If not, the final defense mechanism would kick in: the laser system.
It worked like the laser hallway in Resident Evil's Hive—once an enemy entered the laser corridor, a grid would activate, ensuring instant and total dismemberment.
The system was designed primarily for defense.
While lacking offensive firepower for now, its defensive capability was top-tier.
Once Chen Mo got the military license, he could then install an offensive system. By then, the nuclear power plant would truly be an impenetrable fortress—his own base of operations.
"Let's start with the generator room first," Red Queen suggested with a smile.
"Yeah. Generator room first, then the nuclear facility itself." Chen Mo nodded.
At this moment, Red Queen seemed to have thought of something and added, "Master, I think it's time you developed a trustworthy core team. You can't be doing everything yourself. Even installing a defense system is too much—totally beneath your status."
"I want a trustworthy team too. But easier said than done."
Chen Mo sighed. He was currently evaluating the existing security team. Captain Zhao Qiang, a retired soldier, seemed reliable enough. But who really knew?
What if Zhao was just biding his time, waiting for the right moment to betray him for profit?
It wasn't impossible.
Never underestimate human malice.
Better safe than sorry.
That's why Chen Mo hadn't promoted him yet—or let anyone use the NZT pill. He just couldn't take the risk.
"Master, actually, it's not that hard to fix." Red Queen thought for a moment, then said, "Once we establish a biolab, we can use my core data to develop a biochemical chip—a chip that can control human consciousness. That way, we can build a truly loyal inner circle."
"What the hell?!"
"Red Queen, you've had something this awesome all along? Why didn't you say anything sooner?" Chen Mo was thrilled, his eyes lighting up. If Red Queen really had that tech, then his problem was solved. He didn't mind using force—so long as betrayal was impossible.
"You never asked! How was I supposed to know you needed it?" Red Queen shrugged, looking innocent.
"As a super AI, couldn't you have figured it out yourself?" Chen Mo smiled wryly.
"I'm just a machine with no emotions." Red Queen flopped onto the floor, her projection showing a pouty, helpless expression.
"Alright, alright. Just say it sooner next time." Chen Mo clicked his tongue.
But—
To develop the biocontrol chip, he needed to build a biolab first. To build a biolab, he needed that military license.
Right now, Black Domain Tech didn't have a way to obtain it.
This problem was the bottleneck.
Everything else depended on solving that.
So top priority now was obtaining that military production license.
