California, Military Weapon Testing Ground.
Luka hadn't expected that the Vice President of the great America would be so perceptive.
He had only just released a bit of information about the Vice President colluding with Terrorists to plot the assassination of the President, and the guy immediately surrendered without a single word of protest.
In fact, his fawning expression made Luka wonder if there was a trick involved.
However, after meeting him and striking him with his scepter, Luka realized that this Vice President simply had no bottom line. Luka himself was now a part of capital, and for him, it made no difference with whom he cooperated.
Well, no sooner had Luka taken him in as a dog than he proactively introduced a new order to Orange Industries.
As mentioned before, ever since the appearance of Metal Knight, the Military had been very eager for the Erha Mecha.
However, they were initially deterred by the exorbitant price Luka casually quoted. Later, although Luka had always tried to use the 'Muscle Enhancement Armor' to divert the Military's attention,
the other party didn't quite buy it. These old fellows only believed their own judgment and subsequently only wanted Orange Industries to produce a stripped-down version of the Erha Mecha.
Now, with the introduction from the Vice President, the 'Muscle Enhancement Armor' project was once again brought to the table.
"General Ross, how about it? Should we directly use soldiers you trust? Or should my subordinates demonstrate the effect first?"
Inside the protective room by the weapon testing ground, Luka patted a huge iron box, taller than a person, and asked the man in front of him with a smile.
Although General Ross had white hair and a very aged face at this time, he was considered one of the top-ranking generals with real power in the Army.
After his future retirement, this old fellow even served as Secretary of State, and even ascended to the Presidency ten years later, eventually transforming into the Red Hulk.
It could be considered a second spring in his old age.
To be honest, Luka himself hadn't expected that the order brought by the Vice President would be personally overseen by this man.
However, although this order was a somewhat insider favor trade, leading General Ross to be present in person, he didn't seem very interested in the 'Muscle Enhancement Armor' that Orange Group was about to demonstrate.
At this moment, General Ross's mind was filled with biological enhancements like the'Super Soldier Program' and 'Hulk,' and he only politely gave a few perfunctory responses to Luka's introduction.
"Let the professionals handle it. My soldiers are still..."
General Ross didn't finish the latter half of his sentence, but his meaning was very clear.
His own soldiers were precious, and he didn't trust them with such experimental products.
Upon hearing this, Luka secretly rolled his eyes, but he didn't show it directly. He just turned to Green Bull next to him and said,
"Alright, you can play to your heart's content this time~"
Green Bull grinned upon hearing this, directly raised his hand and tore off his jacket, revealing the matching inner lining of the 'Muscle Enhancement Armor' he was already wearing. He strode to the large iron box behind Luka.
He skillfully entered the password and pressed the activation button.
The fully enclosed iron box in front of him immediately split open along several seams and unfolded in all directions.
A set of pitch-black, semi-open metal armor was immediately revealed.
The inside of this armor was covered with dense, dark red metal patterns, interspersed with glowing blue lines, giving it a strong sci-fi feel.
However, after Green Bull took two steps forward and stood in the middle of the armor, a series of 'clack clack clack' sounds later, the completed armor, without its various ornate lines, appeared somewhat plain and unadorned overall.
"Fully automatic donning equipment. Hmm, in two seconds, a soldier can complete their gear and head to the battlefield."
After casually introducing this, Luka pointed directly at the testing ground outside and said to Green Bull,
"Go on, just follow the procedure."
Green Bull chuckled upon hearing this, giving a somewhat awkward Military salute to the people in the room, which made General Ross and his party frown.
However, the moment Green Bull stepped out of the protective room and pressed the activation device on his wrist,
"Bang~"
There was a loud bang beneath his feet, directly shattering the stone steps at the entrance.
He shot out like a leopard.
As Green Bull's strides quickened, his already tall and burly frame reached maximum speed in just a few steps. Each step he took left a deep crack on the solid testing ground.
"This speed! Is this muscle enhancement???"
The Military representatives, who had been somewhat inattentive just now, were instantly captivated by the sprinting Green Bull.
When Green Bull rushed to the scrapped vehicles in the center of the testing ground, everyone thought he would stop to perform a strength test.
Who would have thought that Green Bull was indeed preparing for a strength test, but the method was vastly different from what they imagined.
Green Bull not only did not stop.
Instead, he turned his body and lowered his shoulder, like a true brute bull, and directly crashed into one of the scrapped pickup trucks without slowing down.
"Boom—"
A deafening roar.
Even those inside the protective room could feel the terrifying impact spreading out.
The scrapped pickup truck in the distance let out a painful sound of metal deformation and was instantly sent flying into the air.
It tumbled for more than ten meters before crashing to the ground, kicking up a large amount of dust.
Seeing this scene, Luka glanced at the dumbfounded General Ross out of the corner of his eye, and casually introduced again,
"An ordinary soldier wearing the enhanced armor can easily exceed 1 ton of strength. After specialized training, this data will increase to over 3 tons."
"The armor's overall structure uses Orange Industries' latest materials, allowing it to withstand continuous impacts from large-caliber rifles head-on without any damage."
Hmm~ In fact, it's the 'Youth Stripped-Down Mini Version of E-Carbon'.
Ignoring the stunned Ross, Luka picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand and said to Green Bull in the distance,
"Don't just show off your explosive power, show the General the Muscle Armor's normal strength."
With Luka's command given, Green Bull in the distance naturally wouldn't hesitate.
He strode directly to another scrapped car nearby, extended both hands simultaneously, and violently inserted them into the car body.
Then he squatted slightly, and put force into a lunge.
The car was easily lifted over his head.
Then Green Bull gave a sudden swing, and with his waist and horse aligned, the entire car was instantly thrown away by him.
With a 'boom,' it crashed next to the pickup truck from before.
And then.
He was unharmed amidst a dense hail of bullets from several assault rifles.
He landed steadily after leaping several meters high.
A grenade he threw with one hand penetrated the target before it even exploded.
Finally, after single-handedly destroying an entire fully armed mechanized infantry platoon, Luka finally walked back to General Ross, whose jaw was almost dislocated in shock, and asked playfully,
"How about it, General Ross? This isn't worse than the super soldier you've been longing for, is it?"
