Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son
chapter-718

In the midst of this technological ballet, Salamander focused on the quantum tunneling feature. With a determined expression, he devised a mechanism that would activate in emergencies. The nanobots would rearrange themselves, creating a localized quantum field that could temporarily manipulate space-time, allowing for a rapid escape.

The challenge lay in balancing the stability of the quantum tunnel with its efficiency. Salamander, now attuned to the cosmic energies, could sense the delicate interplay of forces involved. He adjusted the parameters with precision, ensuring that the quantum tunnel would activate seamlessly without compromising the integrity of the nanotech armor.

Hours passed, but time seemed irrelevant in the pursuit of innovation. Salamander's eyes glowed with a newfound brilliance as he finalized the improvements. The nanotech armor now gleamed with an otherworldly luminescence, a testament to the infusion of cosmic knowledge into its design.

Satisfied with his work, Salamander stepped back, observing the masterpiece before him. The nanotech armor, once advanced, had transcended to an unprecedented level under his enlightened touch. It was not merely a piece of technology; it was a harmonious blend of mortal ingenuity and cosmic wisdom.

Eclipsea, still observing from the shadows, couldn't help but be impressed. The mortal had indeed harnessed the bestowed blessing to elevate his technological prowess to new heights.

Salamander, eager to test the capabilities of the enhanced nanotech armor, donned the sleek, luminescent suit. As he initiated the activation sequence, the nanobots responded with a mesmerizing dance, forming a pulsating quantum field around him. In an instant, the armor vanished from the testing chamber, leaving behind only a faint trace of residual energy.

Eclipsea still observing from the shadows, marveled at the magical spectacle. Moments later, the nanotech armor reappeared in a different part of the ship. Salamander, now standing where the armor had vanished, grinned with satisfaction.

"It worked. It really worked!" he exclaimed, a mixture of excitement and disbelief in his voice.

The quantum tunneling effect proved not only instantaneous but also visually stunning. The nanobots seamlessly manipulated the fabric of space-time, allowing Salamander to traverse the ship effortlessly. The crew members, having witnessed the display, exchanged impressed glances.

Encouraged by the successful activation, Salamander decided to subject the nanotech armor to rigorous testing. He led the crew to a specially designed testing chamber within his ship, equipped with an array of instruments and simulations to challenge the limits of the enhanced technology.

Salamander faced a barrage of challenges designed to push the nanotech armor to its limits. Blunt force projectiles were fired, and the nanobots absorbed the impact, redistributing the force seamlessly. Sharp blades swung, only to be met with a surface that became temporarily impenetrable as the nanobots formed a dense protective layer.

The crew watched in awe as Salamander faced energy-based attacks—laser beams, plasma bursts, and more. The nanotech armor adapted, its nanobots absorbing and dissipating the energy with astonishing efficiency.

The testing chamber echoed with the sounds of technological marvels and bursts of energy. Salamander, empowered by the bestowed blessing and the enhanced nanotech armor, pushed the boundaries of what was previously thought possible.

Once the barrage of tests concluded, Salamander stood triumphant, the nanotech armor virtually unscathed. The holographic displays around the testing chamber showcased the incredible adaptability and durability of the cosmic-infused technology.

Salamander, catching his breath, looked at the holographic data with a spark of determination in his eyes. "This is just the beginning. With this armor, we can push the boundaries of exploration and confront challenges that were once deemed insurmountable."

Salamander wasted no time in sharing the success of the nanotech armor testing with Aldred. He gathered the data, including detailed video recordings, and promptly sent it to Aldred for review. The sleek armor, with its cosmic-infused technology and quantum tunneling capabilities, held the promise of transforming their mercenary operations.

Aldred, receiving the transmission, delved into the wealth of information provided by Salamander. The holographic displays projected images of the armor seamlessly navigating through a myriad of challenges. The adaptability and durability showcased in the tests were beyond Aldred's expectations.

Impressed by the potential of the cosmic-infused nanotech armor, Aldred initiated a communication link with Salamander. The holographic display flickered to life, and Aldred's stern yet curious visage appeared.

"Salamander, you've presented a remarkable achievement with this nanotech armor. The capabilities demonstrated in the testing are truly groundbreaking," Aldred acknowledged, his tone a mixture of approval and curiosity.

Salamander, standing in the communication chamber of his ship, nodded in acknowledgment. "Thank you, Aldred. This armor can revolutionize how our mercenaries operate, providing them with unparalleled protection and versatility."

"Indeed. I will admit that I am very impressed." It hadn't even been a month since Aldred gave him the leveling system.

Aldred's expression turned serious as he voiced a critical concern. "However, Salamander, we must address a crucial aspect—cost. The technology and materials required for this armor are undoubtedly expensive. Our mercenaries, despite their skill and dedication, may find it challenging to afford such advanced equipment."

Salamander, understanding the gravity of the situation, considered Aldred's concern. "You're right, Aldred. The cost is significant, and it would take our mercenaries a considerable amount of time to save up for this armor. But think about the lives we can save and the challenges we can overcome with this technology."

Aldred, known for his pragmatic approach, nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed, the advantages are evident. However, we must find a way to make this technology accessible to our mercenaries without burdening them financially. We need a solution that balances the benefits of the nanotech armor with the practicalities of our organization."

Salamander, inspired by Aldred's wisdom, pondered the dilemma. "What if we establish a fund, supported by the organization, to subsidize the cost of the armor for our mercenaries? This way, they can gradually contribute to the fund while still having access to the advanced technology."

"Impossible, most of our funds are already allocated for the construction of warships. If I tell the financial department to allocate money to a new armor that haven't been tested in the field, they will never let me touch the money at all."

Salamander nodded. The construction if warships were much more important than simple power armor. A warship can destroy a planet, a power armor can only save one life.

The comparison and the level of importance was too clear.

"I guess only a higher level mercenaries can afford this armor for now," Salamander said.

Aldred nodded. "It is fine as well. This will motivate the mercenaries to work harder in order to save up for the armor."
