In Shu, Qingyang Palace.

The mountains are long, and the pavilions are hidden.

This Taoist temple, originally built in the Zhou Dynasty and formerly known as Qingyang Si, is standing silently in the green mountains. Since today is not a holiday and it is in the evening, there are few tourists here.

The afterglow fades away, the red clouds hang high, and the mountains are shadowed.

Taoist priest Xuanyang with white hair and beard, wearing a simple Taoist robe, silently set foot on the open bluestone stairs among the trees.

The soft evening breeze swayed his beard and hair, and as far as his eyes could see, in the half-dark light, twos and threes of tourists greeted the red glow and walked down the mountain laughing and talking.

The terrain is quite steep, but the steadiness of his steps has surpassed the state of his age. Daoist Xuanyang climbed all the way to the front of the mountain gate, and the whole person was breathless, as if he just walked lightly on the flat ground.

Before he got close, the sound of dry bamboo branches brushing over the stones came to his ears.

Taoist Master Xuanyang stepped over the threshold and saw Qingfeng, a young Taoist priest holding a bamboo broom, cleaning up the dust and leaves in the courtyard after the tourists left.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure. The little Taoist looked up and found that it was Master who had been out for more than a month. He immediately said in surprise, "Master, you're back? Why didn't you make a phone call, so I'll go down the mountain to pick you up."

In his impression, although his master, Daoist Xuanyang, has devoted himself to practicing for decades—after the translation, he has been working regularly and eating healthy for a long time, but after all, he is old, and every time he returns from going out, he is too tired to go up the mountain. .

So, this is the moment.

However, when Daoist Xuanyang approached, he realized that he didn't even sweat.

"Master, how early did you get down the mountain? Why don't you go back to the mountain while walking?" The little Taoist Qingfeng whispered in his heart.

A month ago, an official came to the door to invite the master, and Qingfeng was not surprised by this.

The Taoist priest Xuanyang is considered the most "pure" Taoist priest in the entire Taoist temple, and even in the whole of Shu.

But after all, he was in the red dust, and he always wanted to eat the fireworks of the human world, and because of his deep Daoism and great reputation, he was often invited by officials to participate in activities, or to confirm his understanding with Daoist friends.

Daoist Xuanyang nodded slightly, looking at Qingfeng opening his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but after a long silence, he finally just said: "The official asked us to help decipher historical books, involving Taoism knowledge, it is a long time effort."

"I just came back today to explain some things. I have to go out tomorrow, and it will take ten days and a half months to come back. If you have any questions in the future, go and ask your uncle for advice."

Although the little Taoist priest Qingfeng felt a little strange, he still replied, "I understand, Master."

"Well. Go to bed early after the evening class."

After Daoist Xuanyang finished speaking, he walked towards the residence.

The light of the sky faded, the night fell, and the stars covered the earth.

Daoist Xuanyang did not know when he had come to the back mountain. Under the dim light, his thin back was isolated, and his robes fluttered in the cold night wind, with a fairy-like style.

If he was in the past, with such a cold wind blowing at night, it would be light to lie down for two or three days.

But now, all this seems to be just a breeze.

Daoist Xuanyang looked up and saw the rolling hills and the city was brightly lit, but he recalled the content of the text called "Ming Seed Cultivation".

"Fifty years of cultivating Taoism... Only now can I know that what Daozang said is not all philosophical imagery, but something else."

He whispered to himself, then tapped his feet, and his body floated and retreated, falling from the top of the canopy to the ground. It turned out that Daoist Xuanyang had been standing on the branch of an evergreen tree like a light bird.

"Ming Seed Cultivation Chapter" is too obscure, even if he and the rest have profound knowledge of Buddhism and Taoism, it is difficult to decipher just on paper, requiring constant experimentation.

Therefore, the official gave them the life of fusion, and the deciphering work has also progressed by leaps and bounds. The day before yesterday just ended, so he had time to come back.

The current Daoist Master Xuanyang is already a veritable life seed cultivator.

It's just that he is quite old, not suitable to use his power more, and has rich theoretical knowledge, so the official plan is to let him and other decipherers serve as "instructors" together.

"The world is about to change."

As a member of the Investigation Bureau, of course he knew about the arrival of the growing monsters from other worlds.

Daoist Xuanyang remembered the ancient extraordinary organization called the Holy Shield.

As far as the current deciphering work is concerned, the exercises that Sacred Shield possesses and are suitable for ordinary people to practice are actually very closely related to Taoist terminology.

Sacred Shield has a longer recorded history than Taoism, so Professor Chen Shuo and others inferred that in the past thousands of years, perhaps some famous Taoist masters were hidden members of Sacred Shield.

Those stories about them slaying demons and slaying demons are likely to have real historical prototypes.

This speculation is most widely recognized within the Bureau of Investigation, but since almost every famous Taoist figure has a corresponding experience of subduing demons, it is difficult to filter out who is who and who is not.

"Holy Shield... Taoism..."

Daoist Xuanyang muttered these two words, sighing at the twists and turns of history.

...

the next day.

Xuanyang Daochang got up early, didn't pack more supplies, just took a book that he didn't know yet, and was ready to go.

Apprentice Qingfeng is cleaning the courtyard again.

"Master, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, so you're leaving?" Taoist Qingfeng stopped what he was doing and asked in surprise.

Nodding his head, Daoist Xuanyang was about to step out of the door, but stopped again.

After being silent for a long time, he finally turned around and stared at his apprentice, and said solemnly: "Qingfeng, meditate, study Taoist, must not be lazy, understand and experience with heart. Remember, this is very important."

Qingfeng always felt that there were some incomprehensible meanings in Master's eyes, but he only thought that it would take a long time to come back, so he didn't think much, and nodded quickly.

Taoist Xuanyang sighed in his heart.

Even if there is no one to supervise, with his moral cultivation and signing a non-disclosure agreement, it is already the limit to remind his apprentice of this step.

"I'm leaving, don't send me."

As Daoist Xuanyang said, he stepped out of the door.

Looking at his back, Qingfeng couldn't help scratching his head in doubt. He always felt that after the master went out, the whole person became inexplicably strange.

...

Yan Guo, Yanjing, Headquarters of Anomaly Investigation Bureau.

Song Chengan did not stay in the office, but stepped into a building similar to a tin factory accompanied by technicians.

On the first day of the new year, the first impression you get inside is the height and width.

"With the No. 1 metal sent by the material department, we finally built the original prototype of the combat vehicle." The technician next to him said excitedly.

Song Chengan looked around and saw a rather sci-fi machine in the middle of the factory building.

Its general shape is close to that of a tank, but it is much smaller. There is no turret above it. Instead, it is replaced by two giant machine guns that do not interfere with each other, and is also covered by strange angular armor.

As for the exterior shape, it is also different from the armor designed to defend against artillery shells in the past. The overall use of large plate armor is slanted and spliced, and the style is simple.

In addition, the track structure at the lower end is also different. The whole is divided into four groups, and there are armored baffles on both sides. From the angle of Song Chengan standing, you can just see the hidden mechanical arm structure inside the road wheel.

"This two-person vehicle, which we tentatively named the 'Sparrow', is small enough and flexible enough, and with No. 1 metal, although it is light in weight, it is no longer a crispy toy, and can provide considerable protection for soldiers."

Technician introduced.

"At present, the total combat weight of the 'Sparrow' is 12 tons, which is equivalent to some explosion-proof armored vehicles."

"But because it is smaller, the armor is thicker, and the stronger No. 1 metal is used, the overall defense is more than the previous light tanks of thirty or forty tons."

"The maximum road speed is 60 kilometers per hour. This is because part of the power is sacrificed. After all, the original intention of the design is not to let them race against otherworldly monsters."

"and……"

When the technician said this, he took the radio and said: "Demonstrate the sparrow's attitude adjustment."

So, under the operation of the driver inside, with a slight mechanical sound, the mechanical arm hidden inside the road wheel slowly unfolded, propping up the entire vehicle.

"Because of the structure of the mechanical arm and the load wheel, the passability and flexibility of the sparrow vehicle have been greatly improved, whether it is in the plains, mountains, or cities, it can be competent.. 0"

With the explanation of the technicians, the driver adjusted the mechanical arm linking the road wheel in different ways, so that the vehicle showed postures such as forward, backward, and sideways.

"Moreover, because the road wheels are divided into four groups, and the mechanical arm can adjust its position, even if one group is destroyed, it can maintain the ability to move by adjusting the attitude."

"And at the beginning of the design, we took into account the logistics, so all the structures of the sparrow are simple, durable and highly reliable."

Hearing this, Song Chengan nodded.

The original positioning of the sparrow is a mass-produced armored vehicle that can be distributed to class applications. It is not a killer secret weapon. It does not need to be strong, and it only needs to strike a balance between cost and performance.

Looking at the flexible sparrow vehicle, he couldn't help but think of the No. 1 enhanced dust that contributed to it.

The improvement of material performance brings not only the improvement of defense, but all-round.

For example, some structures need to be very large in order to achieve performance indicators. But with No. 1 reinforced metal, the original performance can be maintained while the size is greatly reduced.

This saves a lot of space, allowing designers to have more room for strengthening, and the result is a skyrocketing increase in overall parameters.

In addition, after the researchers learned that the essence of dust is "enhancement" and "enhancement", their brains opened up. Through many experiments, they were combined with various existing special materials, and the results really came to a useful reinforcement.

This made the people involved simply ecstatic.

A single ordinary strengthening metal is enough to make the Yan Kingdom industry blossom, not to mention other strengthening materials with different effects.

One of the most exciting points is the feedback from the nuclear industry sector, saying that the breakthrough of materials has eliminated the biggest obstacle to the miniaturization of nuclear batteries, and they will come up with surprises in the near future.

The miniaturization mentioned here is not the kind on an aircraft carrier, but not much bigger than a car battery.

In fact, as early as 1958, Bluestar humans had been able to miniaturize a nuclear reactor enough to fit in a car, and also created a physical object, injected nuclear fuel once, and had a range of 8,046 kilometers.

The future car in the famous game "Fallout 4" is based on it, and its shape is basically the same.

In addition, in 2009 and 2016, the famous Cadillac and Audi companies also made nuclear-powered cars. The only problem at that time was that the cost was too high, and in the event of an accident, it would cause serious pollution.

Therefore, this breakthrough in materials makes a nuclear reactor the size of a battery 5.3 no longer a fantasy.

It is even difficult for Song Chengan to imagine what new technological revolution will be brought about by the emergence of miniature nuclear batteries.

As his thoughts were dissipating, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, he took it out to connect, and Zheng Wenjun's voice came into his ears: "Director, the list of life seed practitioners has been screened."

"Then let's begin."

Hanging up the phone, Song Chengan stared at the sparrow vehicle.

Yan Guo's industrial technology has ushered in great progress, and the Bureau of Investigation will soon have a considerable number of pseudo-supernatural beings. All these make him feel a little excited under the calm face.

At the same time, this also made Song Chengan's understanding of the background of the Holy Shield clearer. After all, it was only a tentative cooperation between the two parties, which made Yan Guo's strength skyrocket.

If you give an example that does not conform to the current cooperation situation, because of this cooperation, Yan Guo will soon surpass the United States in the technology industry. Under the extraordinary system, it will directly throw the United States into ashes.

As Ambroise sighed, times have changed. Although the Holy Shield has not yet been fully born, it is already the most influential organization of mankind.

At this moment, Tang You, the creator of the Holy Shield, was leading Oria out of the headquarters to spread, but as a result, he discovered the quiet but profound changes in the society of Yan Kingdom...
