Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 174 Muscle Enhancement Armor (Third Update)

California, military weapons testing range.

Luca never expected that the Vice President of the United States would be so sensible.

We'd only just released a little bit of information about their collusion with terrorists and their plot to assassinate the president, and this guy surrendered without a single word.

Even that ingratiating expression made Luca wonder if there was something fishy going on.

However, after meeting him and striking him with the scepter, it became clear that this vice president was simply someone with no bottom line. Luca himself was now a member of the capitalist class, and for him, it made no difference who he cooperated with.

Look, he's only been taken in by Luca as a dog for a short time, and he's already eagerly bringing in a new order for Orange Industries.

As mentioned before, ever since the identity of Metal Knight appeared, the military has been very interested in the Husky mech.

However, they were initially scared off by the exorbitant price Luca casually mentioned. Later, although Luca kept trying to use the 'muscle-enhancing armor' to fool the military and divert their attention.

However, the other side wasn't very convinced. These old guys only trusted their own judgment, and all they wanted was for Orange Industries to produce a downgraded version of the Siberian Husky mech.

Now, with the vice president's introduction, the 'muscle-enhancing armor' project has been brought back to the forefront.

"General Ross, what do you think? Should we send in your trusted soldiers directly, or should I have my men demonstrate the effect to you first?"

Inside the protective enclosure next to the weapons testing range, Luca patted a huge iron box taller than a person next to him and asked the man in front of him with a smile.

Despite his white hair and aged appearance, General Ross was still one of the most powerful generals in the army.

After retiring, this old guy served as Secretary of State, and even became president ten years later, eventually transforming into the Red Hulk.

It can be considered a second spring in her old age.

To be honest, Luca himself didn't expect that the orders brought in by the vice president would be handled by this person personally.

However, although this order was somewhat of a favor-based deal with some insider dealings, which brought General Ross to the scene in person, he didn't seem to care much about the 'muscle layer armor' that Orange Group was about to showcase.

At this moment, General Ross's mind was filled with biological enhancements like the 'Super Soldier Project' and the 'Hulk,' and he only gave Luca a few perfunctory words of politeness when he heard about him.

"Let the professionals handle this; my soldiers are better off."

General Ross didn't say the second half of his sentence, but the meaning was quite clear.

He valued his own soldiers highly, and he didn't trust this experimental product.

Hearing this, Luca rolled his eyes inwardly, but didn't show it directly. He simply turned to Green Bull beside him and said...

"Alright, you can have fun now!"

Upon hearing this, Green Bull grinned, raised his hand and ripped off his jacket, revealing the matching lining of the 'muscle-enhancing armor' he was already wearing. He then strode to the large iron box behind Luca.

Enter the password skillfully and press the start button.

The fully enclosed iron box in front of him immediately cracked open in several seams, spreading out in all directions.

A set of jet-black, semi-open metal armor was immediately revealed.

The inside of this suit of armor is covered with dense, dark red metallic patterns, interspersed with glowing blue lines, giving it a very futuristic look.

However, after Green Bull took two steps forward and stood in the middle of the armor, a series of 'click-click-click' sounds followed. The completed armor lost its various ornate lines and appeared somewhat plain and unadorned.

"Fully automated donning equipment, well, it only takes two seconds for a soldier to be fully dressed and ready to go to the battlefield."

After casually mentioning that, Luca pointed directly to the testing area outside and said to Green Bull.

"Go ahead, just follow the procedure."

Upon hearing this, Green Bull chuckled and gave a somewhat awkward military salute to the people inside the room, which made General Ross and his entourage frown.

However, the moment Green Bull stepped out of the protective chamber, he raised his hand and pressed the activation device on his wrist.

With a loud bang, he shattered the stone steps at the entrance.

He leaped out like a cheetah.

As Green Bull quickened his pace, his already tall and strong physique allowed him to reach his maximum speed in just a few steps, leaving a deep crack on the solid test track with each step.

"That speed! Has he increased his muscle mass???"

The military representatives, who had been somewhat indifferent just moments before, were instantly drawn to the galloping green bull.

When Green Bull charged to the wrecked vehicle in the center of the test track, everyone thought he would stop and conduct a strength test.

To everyone's surprise, while the Green Bulls were indeed preparing for a strength test, the testing method was quite different from what they had imagined.

But the green bull didn't stop.

Instead, he turned sideways and lowered his shoulders, like a real bull, and without slowing down, crashed directly into one of the wrecked pickup trucks.

"boom--"

A deafeningly loud bang.

Even those inside the protective chamber could feel the terrifying impact spreading outwards.

The wrecked pickup truck in the distance emitted a painful metallic groan as it was instantly ripped into the air.

It tumbled and flew more than ten meters before crashing to the ground, kicking up a lot of dust.

Seeing this, Luca glanced at the dumbfounded General Ross out of the corner of his eye, and then casually introduced the situation again.

“Ordinary soldiers wearing reinforced armor can easily have a strength of over 1 ton, and after specialized training, this figure can be increased to over 3 tons.”

"The armor is made of the latest materials from Orange Industries and can withstand continuous impacts from large-caliber rifles without being damaged."

Hmm~ It's basically a 'mini version of e-Carbon with reduced features for a youthful feel'.

Ignoring the stunned Ross, Luca picked up his walkie-talkie and spoke to the Green Bull in the distance.

"Don't just show off your explosive power, show the general the normal strength of the muscle armor."

Once Luca gave the order, the Green Bull in the distance naturally wouldn't hesitate.

He strode directly to another wrecked car next to him, reached out with both hands, and forcefully inserted them into the car body.

Immediately afterwards, he squatted down slightly and lunged forward to exert force.

He lifted the car over his head with ease.

Then Green Bull suddenly swung his hips, and with perfect control of his waist and stance, the entire car was instantly thrown into the air.

With a loud 'bang,' it crashed next to the pickup truck from before.

After that.

He remained unscathed amidst a dense hail of bullets from several assault rifles.

After leaping several meters high, it landed steadily.

The grenade, thrown with one hand, pierced the target before it even exploded.

After finally defeating an entire fully armed mechanized infantry platoon with his bare hands, Luca walked up to General Ross, whose jaw was practically dislocated in shock, and asked with amusement.

"How about it, General Ross? This isn't any worse than the super soldier you've been dreaming of, is it?"
