Chapter 352 A Special Feng Shui Formation and Energy! A Mech Controlled by Talismans?

As the detection instrument beeped, the operator finally exclaimed excitedly, "Minister Ma, we've got it... This time we detected a special energy, but this energy seems very sharp, unlike the gentle energy of the Wudang Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak."

Upon hearing this report, Minister Ma disregarded whether it was moderate or not; successfully creating this feng shui formation was a victory in itself.

He immediately ordered, "Quickly, bring them over too. They've been researching for so long, they should be put to good use eventually."

Knowing that the Yin-Yang microparticle energy decomposed from the Feng Shui formation of Wudang Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak was to complement the cultivation of Wudang Tai Chi Chuan, their department naturally made preparations long ago.

It not only studies feng shui formations, but also various martial arts manuals.

These things were ignored before, and all the martial arts manuals were proven to be nonsense; martial arts have become just dance.

Therefore, these books have become old books that no one in museums or national libraries cares about.

But things are different now. Both the Chen family and the Wudang Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak have proven something, so these old books have naturally attracted their attention.

Not only are there things passed down from various schools and sects, but there are also things that came from underground. The things that the higher authorities have in their possession are definitely more abundant than all the Taoist sects combined.

The knowledge mentioned above is not limited to Taoism.

These books had long been collected by their special intelligence analysis department, and now they were no longer useless old books, but true treasures.

After giving his instructions, Minister Ma also started looking at the testing equipment, and he became quite excited.

He had previously seen many Chinese scholars boast about absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, which he found to be utter nonsense.

Now he thinks it makes a lot of sense.

These so-called masters of Chinese studies certainly don't know what the energy of heaven and earth is, and relying on feelings or spiritual perception is definitely nonsense.

These people are pure liars.

But now he understands what the energy of heaven and earth is.

The Thunderfire Refining Peak of Wudang Mountain decomposes lightning, energy from the sky.

Now, their "Dragon Vein Gathering Qi" feng shui formation looks like it's bursting forth from a dragon vein. A dragon vein is a mountain range, which is energy coming from the ground.

Is this the energy of heaven and earth?

Previously, everyone considered the energy of heaven and earth to be mysterious and difficult to understand.

Now that I've experienced it, the feeling is completely different.

However, this energy of heaven and earth is truly amazing.

Normally, they can't detect anything in the air with instruments, but through feng shui formations, they can actually reveal the energy of heaven and earth in this way.

Chen Han was also feeling the energy overflowing from the 'Dragon Vein Gathering Qi' feng shui formation.

The "Dragon Vein Gathering Qi" feng shui formation is divided into two types: civil and military.

He had read so many feng shui classics before, and some of them contained records on this subject.

In dynasties where feng shui was prevalent and utilized, once a dragon vein was discovered to be gathering energy, it served two purposes: one was to construct imperial estates or royal villas.

This is a dragon vein of literature.

In other words, in ancient times, a place like the Chen family's, located near the capital and unclaimed, would ultimately belong to the emperor.

It could only be used by the emperor as a royal estate or villa.

As for those that are owned?
That depends on whether something unexpected happens to you, whether your family has the power, and whether the emperor is enlightened enough...

In any case, it's definitely not something an ordinary family can protect. Even if the emperor has no interest in it, there will be people who will do things you can't afford to do just to please him.

Another type is the Martial Dragon Vein, which is usually a military camp, and it is generally able to train the most powerful army.

Take, for example, the branch from the Tang Dynasty.

Now he roughly knows what's going on.

With such an energy overflowing, the benefits that soldiers would receive from cultivating here are self-evident.

It would be strange if they weren't stronger than other armies, or even the armies of those barbarians.

Perhaps this is similar to the setting in some cultivation novels where soldiers of a dynasty with a strong destiny cultivate by relying on the dynasty's destiny.

But if the Ming Dynasty, which established its capital in Beijing, had also discovered this canyon and made feng shui arrangements, then this place should have been a military camp, where the strongest army would definitely have been stationed.

However, it seems that the Ming Dynasty did not train a particularly powerful army.

The most famous were that navy and that cavalry unit.

If this isn't being used incorrectly, or if this place isn't being treated as a military camp, then it's being used in the wrong way.

For example, if the Ming Dynasty stationed its famous Beijing cavalry force here, it would be a mismatch in bloodline.

Because that unit consisted of surrendered Mongol cavalry, which were extremely strong, but to the Ming Dynasty at the time, they were of foreign blood and would not be recognized by the imperial lineage.

In any case, anything is possible in the torrent of history, and these are things that later generations cannot know.

Chen Han sensed the energy emanating from the dragon vein, but it was still far weaker than spiritual energy.

Because the energy is too weak, it cannot be directly felt like spiritual energy, and ordinary people cannot even feel it.

However, this energy is definitely no weaker than the Yin-Yang energy decomposed from the Wudang Thunderfire Alchemy Peak.

Moreover, this energy possesses a sharp edge, or rather, a chilling aura, which is not something ordinary people can absorb.

If one does not possess a chilling aura, a strong physique, and a resolute mind, one might not be able to withstand it.

Combining the information he had learned from ancient feng shui books, Chen Han immediately understood that this was specially prepared for the military.

Perhaps only those warriors could do it.

The key was that he absorbed a bit of energy into his body and discovered through internal vision that this energy also had a special crimson color.

The energy he absorbed into his body rejected him, and he could only refine it with his true qi.

He subconsciously looked at the enormous, terrifying creature in the city center.

In that case, it makes sense that the powerful Mongol cavalry of the Ming Dynasty would be useless even if they were stationed here because their bloodline was not recognized.

Moreover, the energy was crimson red, which seemed to be a form of identification.

This is really impressive, almost like a kind of luck power that can identify one's identity.

Not long after, the people that Minister Ma had ordered arrived.

These people look like masters of traditional Chinese culture, but something's not right; they don't have the air of true masters.

He realized that these people were probably inheritors of national martial arts traditions, recruited to cooperate with a special intelligence analysis department for research.

He could probably understand Minister Ma and his colleagues' mindset.

After all, this involves real skill, and in the eyes of Minister Ma and his ilk, things related to martial arts are definitely something they understand better.

This is clearly a misconception.

Let alone the fact that these people have been passed down for countless generations, it's unknown whether any of the relevant traditions have been preserved.

In reality, most of them are probably scammers.

All kung fu is fake.

When they fight, it's just street thugs brawling each other.

Just like Douyin, so many martial arts inheritors suddenly appeared. It's all about traffic and profit. Most of them are just physically strong construction workers or shameless liars.

If you expect to develop real martial arts with someone like that, then there's absolutely no way you can.

Moreover, Minister Ma's approach is flawed; these people cannot possibly absorb the energy emitted by the 'Dragon Vein Gathering Qi'.

Those who had been summoned had already walked to the open space in front, sat down cross-legged, and then began to practice their internal energy in a very serious manner.

Minister Ma and the people from the special intelligence analysis department looked on with serious expressions.

Only when Chen Han closed his eyes and sensed the surrounding free-floating energy did he find that none of the energy was being drawn in.

The people that Minister Ma brought were all just putting on an act; not a single one of them could sense or even absorb these energies.

To be honest, it's ridiculous to hire these people.

However, this situation is unavoidable, since it's the first time they've done something like this and they have no experience at all.

In the past, some leaders were deceived by swindlers, believing in some oil refining technology and being cheated out of a large sum of money.

It all stems from a lack of understanding of new things, with the only thought being to try everything available.

However, the operator in charge of the testing immediately reported: "Minister Ma, these people are unable to absorb that energy."

"It might be the wrong technique. Tell them to switch to another one," Minister Ma immediately instructed.

When their people were secretly testing in Wudang, they clearly detected that the energy decomposed from the Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak could be absorbed into the bodies of the Taoist priests in Wudang when they practiced their martial arts.

Those who were summoned immediately changed their methods after hearing the instructions.

This time, instead of pretending to sit cross-legged, they practiced martial arts routines.

However, these people also cannot absorb this energy, and they cannot even sense it.

So it was all for nothing.

The operator of the testing equipment reported truthfully: "There's still no change!"

Minister Ma frowned deeply, unwilling to give up, he had these people try several different methods, but the result was still the same.

Finally, he could only look to the Chen family head for help: "Clan head Chen, please give me some guidance."

His words were very sincere.

In this situation, besides this person, he really couldn't think of anyone else who could give them advice.

Chen Han suggested, "Minister Ma, this 'Dragon Vein Gathering Qi' was formed after the document was issued from above, so it is crimson red. You can ask the most loyal soldiers to try it out."

Minister Ma was taken aback upon hearing this.

Did the authorities issue a document stating that there are such restrictions on this kind of energy?
If that's the case, then it's not just remarkable; it's a complete identity verification and authentication process.

This also demonstrates that loyalty can be fully guaranteed.

This is also an intangible way that can solve many potential problems.

Minister Ma hadn't thought about this issue before because it was too abstract and difficult to understand.

But after the Chen family head spoke, he had no doubts whatsoever.

Although such restrictions are incredible, this 'dragon vein gathering energy' geographical terrain has occurred where no one dared to activate the formation without prior documentation.

It's not surprising that this 'Dragon Vein Gathering Qi' formation doesn't dare to release its energy to others now.

The key point is that the Chen family head also said it was crimson, and he understood even more what that represented.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately ordered, "Quickly, find a few soldiers guarding this place."

Since this project is top secret, there will definitely be a lot of guards, and these guards will be absolutely loyal; you could trace their lineage back several generations and there would be no problem at all.

Following Minister Ma's instructions, someone immediately went out to make arrangements, and soon several fully armed soldiers were brought here.

The soldiers' faces also showed disbelief, as well as excitement.

They were sent here to be stationed, so they have some understanding of the situation here.

At first, they also felt that the research here was somewhat unreliable, but after learning some related things, they felt that their worldview was somewhat impacted.

They don't usually have time to watch videos on social media, so the descriptions of feng shui in the materials really shocked them.

The people who arranged for their arrival have already explained the relevant details to them and let them know what's going on.

How could they not look forward to something like this?
When Minister Ma saw that the people had arrived, he asked Chen Han, "Patriarch Chen, what should we do next?"

Looking at those soldiers, Chen Han could clearly feel the chilling aura emanating from them, a scent tainted by the battlefield, even carrying a murderous aura, the mark of those who had truly killed and seen blood.

So he also said, "Just train the way you usually do. There's no training ground here, so you can practice your military boxing on your own."

The soldiers stared at him in astonishment upon hearing this. Could training in military boxing really lead to something like that?
Why does it feel a bit unreliable?

Minister Ma and the people in the special intelligence analysis department felt that it was a bit unreliable.

However, the series of events just now proved that the head of the Chen family was right, so no one dared to doubt him.

Minister Ma directly ordered several soldiers: "Why aren't you moving?"

The soldiers immediately stepped forward, went to an open space, took off their weapons, and placed them where they could easily reach them.

This is clearly a matter of professionalism; even knowing that the canyon is protected by a secret force, they dare not slack off.

After that, the group moved in unison and began to practice military boxing. Because they were prepared, their military boxing was performed with great vigor and momentum.

Chen Han closed his eyes and sensed the situation, and he felt something very magical.

To be honest, there's not much difference between a few soldiers practicing military boxing and those who practice martial arts routines.

But these warriors were different. The energy emitted by the 'Dragon Vein Gathering Qi' was actually drawn to these warriors. Moreover, the sharpness, or rather the murderous aura, contained in that energy resonated with and attracted the murderous aura on those warriors.

A moment later, the operator of the testing instrument exclaimed with delight, "Minister Ma, it's working! There's a reaction! We've detected that energy has been absorbed into their bodies... We've succeeded! We've succeeded!"

These words instantly brought a look of joy to Minister Ma's face. He immediately moved closer to the testing equipment to examine it, and the more he looked, the more delighted he became.

Those from the feng shui department were equally excited, after all, the matter had succeeded and they all deserved credit, but they also felt a bit emotional.

This experience broadened their horizons and made them realize just how terrifying the depth and complexity of feng shui can be.

If it weren't for seeing the document above with my own eyes, which made the feng shui formation complete, I wouldn't have dared to activate it.

If it weren't for the arrival of these warriors, allowing them to absorb that energy, all the previous training and martial arts routines would have been useless.

They genuinely couldn't believe these things.

At this moment, the soldiers clearly felt the energy entering their bodies, and they were all extremely excited, practicing military boxing even more diligently.

Minister Ma stared at the testing equipment for a long time. After the soldiers had practiced their military boxing for about the same amount of time, he immediately called over someone and ordered, "Quickly give him a physical examination."

Upon receiving the order, several people immediately came out with medical testing equipment and began to conduct a full-body examination on the soldier.

This special intelligence analysis department is clearly well-prepared in all aspects.

Some people even had his blood tested.

This process lasted a long time.

Within half a day, someone couldn't help but report: "Minister Ma, the physical examination was completely fine. On the contrary, the blood test showed that some of his cells had a slight increase in energy."

"This energy disappears quickly, but its corresponding effect seems to be that it speeds up metabolism, which means that one's strength will increase."

"It's just that we can't detect the effects of this substance, and that kind of energy is beyond the explanation of current science."

Minister Ma knew the reason when he heard this, and that explanation was strange.

This energy of heaven and earth was previously considered non-existent, therefore, scientific understanding of this energy is limited.

After Minister Ma received the complete medical examination report, he carefully looked at the information and results.

Especially in terms of metabolism, although it is not very obvious, it does prove that the energy emitted by this feng shui formation can make people stronger.

Moreover, it's only been a short time, so it's neither obvious nor surprising. What we need to think about is what will happen day after day.

At this point, it can be basically confirmed that their feng shui formation project has been a complete success, and they can give an explanation to their superiors.

Finally, Minister Ma looked at Chen Han with a face full of gratitude: "Patriarch Chen, thank you very much. Without your guidance, we don't know how much time it would have taken us to research these things."

That's the truth. If they were to do it themselves, given the capabilities of these people in the special intelligence analysis department, they would never have thought of needing to issue a document, nor would they have imagined that only loyal warriors could absorb the energy from this feng shui formation.

At this point, it can be said that the feng shui formation project is complete.

However, a new point of interest has emerged: how does this feng shui formation provide energy, and what are the underlying principles?
Just like the Yin-Yang energy that appears after the Wudang Thunderfire Refining Gold Peak.

This 'Dragon Vein Gathering Qi' feng shui formation must also follow this pattern. Just now, it seemed that the energy appeared along with a dragon's roar.

Therefore, it should be related to this.

However, during the ensuing wait, until evening, there was no more dragon roar. Instead, Minister Ma's cell phone rang.

Upon seeing the number, he answered immediately. The call was met with an urgent inquiry: "Xiao Ma, how's it going? Has the feng shui formation been completed?"

Minister Ma smiled and said, "Sir, it seems you're in a hurry too. I was just thinking of organizing the information and reporting to you later."

"How can I not be anxious?" came the man's complaining voice: "I even went to get that person's signature for your project. If you don't make something of yourself, I don't know how to explain it to him."

Minister Ma, upon hearing this, did not hesitate and reported, "Sir, it has been successful. With that document, the feng shui formation is complete. Moreover, the formation can emit a kind of energy, which is also connected to the document above. It requires legitimacy and can only be absorbed by the most loyal warriors."

"Are you serious? Just one document made that feng shui formation work? And because of the legitimacy created by that document, only our loyal warriors can absorb it?" The man was clearly speechless; this news was too hard to understand, too unbelievable.

The key is that he knows Xiao Ma won't talk nonsense.

Then, he couldn't help but laugh: "Little Ma, bring the relevant documents to me right away, and I'll take you to see that person."

He had read a lot about feng shui and the Chen family, and he knew the strength of the Chen family head, especially the three Chen family prodigies, any one of whom could be a world champion.

Although their people went to test them and learned that they had taken some kind of elixir or medicinal wine, the people who were testing them felt that the three of them were not telling the truth.

The biggest reason should be the Chen family's feng shui formation.

Therefore, he is all too aware of what it means that Xiao Ma can now create a feng shui formation on his own, complete with this identification of legitimate status.

Moreover, having succeeded the first time, he believed that the second, third, and fourth times... wouldn't be far off. Their territory was so vast; there must be many such unique geographical features.

"Okay, sir." Minister Ma hung up the phone with a look of excitement on his face. He naturally knew who the other person was talking about.

He is generally not qualified to meet the other party.

So how could I not be excited?
Almost at that moment, a loud dragon's roar echoed through the valley again. Minister Ma still subconsciously looked up, but still couldn't see anything.

But the operator in front of the testing equipment exclaimed in surprise again: "Minister Ma, the feng shui formation has shown energy again. It seems to be that special dragon roar. As long as the dragon roar appears, the feng shui formation will emit energy again."

"So, the thunder and fire at Wudang's Golden Peak occur when thunder roars, while this is when dragons cry out," Minister Ma said excitedly, relieved to know this pattern existed.

This completes the cycle of feng shui formations.

I just don't know what the rules are behind the Chen family's feng shui formations.

He wanted to ask the Chen family head, but felt it would be impolite, as it might be a secret of the Chen family.

However, no matter how powerful the Chen family's feng shui formation is, their 'dragon vein gathering energy' must be quite good, right?

After all, dragon veins are top-tier entities in feng shui classics, right?

Clearly, he didn't know that the Chen family cultivated immortality. They did have a spiritual cave that could be cleansed with spiritual energy every day, but this was still beyond the scope of their feng shui formation.

Then, he didn't have time to worry about that anymore, after all, he hadn't forgotten that there was more important business to attend to after things were settled, and he needed to prepare the documents to meet that person.

Therefore, he hurriedly said to Chen Han, "Patriarch Chen, I'll arrange for someone to take you back. I have important matters to attend to."

After saying that, he made the arrangements, got into a car, and hurriedly left.

Chen Han also got into the arranged car and was sent back to the city of Beijing.

Suddenly, he remembered something: he had completely forgotten to mention the special metal to Minister Ma.

This special metal is related to a condition for upgrading the demonic puppet.

However, after thinking about it, he wasn't in a hurry, because he was sure Minister Ma would contact him again.

Just as the car returned to the robot mech league area, a game notification suddenly appeared in his mind:
[You are a genius. You found the rudimentary puppetry technique in the family library and shone brightly at the puppetry competition held by the Puppetry Sect. You even used the puppets made by the rudimentary puppetry technique to dominate the field, causing the Puppetry Sect, which was trying to test you, to suffer heavy losses. They not only lost face, but also dared not test you again.]

Congratulations! You have obtained the special "Puppet Array Technique".

Chen Han was surprised to receive this notification. How did he suddenly complete the task?

The robot mech league isn't over yet, is it?

Something must have happened on the field.

Then, when he saw the reward, his eyes lit up instantly.

[Array Puppet Technique: This is a special puppet technique. After mastering it, puppets can be modified using special array puppet stones and integrated into the array to become protective puppets!]

This is really a pleasant surprise.

He was planning to bring back four unusable special formation puppet stones this time, but unexpectedly he was given this formation puppet technique.

He even suspected that this was something the game system had arranged all along.

If that's the case, then the game system has been surprisingly considerate.

Next, Chen Han was curious about how he had suddenly completed this task. He entered the arena and went to the repair lounge that had been assigned to him, where he saw that there were still quite a few people inside.

Xiaoyu was talking to someone when she saw him arrive and immediately went up to him: "Senior brother, this is President Tong, the person in charge of this robot mecha league. He was looking for you and was just about to call you when you came back."

Chen Han looked at President Tong with a puzzled expression: "President Tong, may I ask who you are looking for?"

He guessed that the sudden completion of the mission was related to the other party contacting him.

Upon seeing the Chen family head, Tong Fei quickly spoke up: "Family head Chen, I do indeed have something to discuss with you!"

Xiaoyu interjected, "Senior brother, he came to beg you for mercy, just to get us to not participate in the later competitions. It's really pointless. He invited us, and now he's pulling this stunt."

Tong Fei was immediately embarrassed upon hearing this: "Patriarch Chen, I am truly sorry, but you are all too powerful, so powerful that it is frightening. If you participate, everyone else will have to withdraw from the competition."

He's now caught in a bind. He knows very well that those people are capable of keeping their word, and those robots are the backbone of their league.

Although the Chen family head's mech is impressive and has generated a lot of buzz, the opposing mech doesn't belong to their league. They can't sacrifice their core players for the sake of popularity.

He still knows his core supporters, so all he can do is apologize.

"Alright, Mr. Tong, I wasn't planning on continuing this competition anyway, so let's withdraw!" Chen Han smiled, seemingly unconcerned.

After all, he did get some good stuff in this competition and also completed the task to receive a reward.

His purpose was also achieved.

"Thank you, Patriarch Chen, thank you so much, Patriarch Chen." Tong Fei was truly grateful for his words. He had thought things would get out of hand this time, but he didn't expect Patriarch Chen to be so easy to talk to.

This made him admire this person from the bottom of his heart; such a magnanimous heart truly befits a Taoist priest in purple robes.

After Chen Han had Tong Fei complete the formalities, he continued to stay at the accommodation arranged by the league. Tong Fei had made perfect arrangements for this, and even said that the league would cover all expenses for how long they wanted to stay in Beijing.

Chen Han had no intention of staying in the capital any longer and had already started planning to return to the Chen family.

"Senior brother, how about we book tickets for tomorrow?" Xiaoyu had already checked the ticket availability.

Chen Han said directly, "The day after tomorrow, I think. There should be more people coming to see me tomorrow."

"Okay!" Xiaoyu nodded, then looked at the plane tickets for the day after tomorrow.

...

In the capital, a heavily guarded place, or rather, the most heavily defended place in the country, Minister Ma nervously entered.

... (5000 words omitted) ...

When he returned to his office, Minister Ma was still excited, after all, he had spoken with that person and been praised by them.

The results and effects of the feng shui arrangement clearly satisfied that person.

However, he immediately picked up the document in his hand, which was about the mecha of the Chen family head. Sure enough, they had also taken notice of it.

He had originally intended to ask the Chen family head about this matter, but he hadn't had a chance to because of the feng shui formation.

Because he had a pleasant relationship with the Chen family head, that person also asked him to continue contacting the other party regarding the mecha matter.

Perfect timing, I'll go and pay another visit to Patriarch Chen tomorrow.

The next morning, Minister Ma's phone rang incessantly. He got up, took out his phone, and saw that the number belonged to "Liu" from the Mechanical Technology Department.

It was Academician Liu, who was sent by the higher-ups to assist him in understanding the mecha of the Chen family head.

Clearly, the other party is also very anxious about this mecha.

He had no choice but to answer the phone, make an appointment, wash up, and go out. He found a car already waiting for him outside, and an old man in the back seat hurriedly beckoned him to get in.

It was that Academician Liu.

"Academician Liu, you're so energetic this early in the morning." Minister Ma sighed deeply after getting into the car.

"Xiao Ma, it's not that I'm in a hurry, but my team and I watched the movement trajectory of that mecha frame by frame, and it's really incredible." Academician Liu was very excited, and he even started gesturing as he spoke: "Through mechanical analysis and analysis of the movement of the mecha, we found that the technology of that mecha is something we could not do."

"Similarly, other countries can't do it either. Also, there's the power and operating system; I don't know how they did it."

"If we can replicate this mech, we will be far ahead of the world, and we may even change the way wars are fought in the world."

"Do you understand the South Heavenly Gate Project? It was originally just a concept, but now it can be initially launched."

Seeing his excited expression, Minister Ma reminded him, "Academician Liu, the problem is that Patriarch Chen's mecha is not simple and cannot be solved by your team's science alone."

The feng shui formation flashed through his mind, and he suspected that the Chen family head's mecha might have also used some special Taoist method.

If that's the case, how would we use technology to do it?
Academician Liu was displeased upon hearing this: "Xiao Ma, what you said makes this old man a little unhappy. My team and I are among the best in the world in this field."

Minister Ma smiled, wanting to say that even the most capable couldn't create that kind of mecha, but the Chen family head did, and now he's begging for personnel to study their mecha.

However, he kept these thoughts to himself and simply reminded Liu, "Academician Liu, I'm just worried about what might happen."

"No 'what if'." Academician Liu snorted lightly. He noticed that Xiao Ma's expression was off. Was he worried about something going wrong? Or was this guy afraid they wouldn't understand?

Unconvinced, he said again, "There's no 'what if,' I really don't understand. Even if I have to find a master, I'll figure it out."

"Uh, become his apprentice?" Minister Ma was taken aback. "Isn't that inappropriate? Academician Liu, you're quite old. Patriarch Chen won't accept you. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to be rejected?"

"Fuck your mother..." Academician Liu couldn't help but swear: "Xiao Ma, has anyone ever told you that you have no manners?"

"???" Minister Ma was completely bewildered by the words "fuck your mother".

Why is this old man getting anxious too?

The problem is that your use of profanity has completely ruined your image as an academician.

Chen Han started cultivating early in the morning, put the intermediate-grade spirit stone in his hand into the game warehouse, and had just finished washing up when he saw Minister Ma and that old gentleman who came to visit, and he was somewhat surprised.

I knew they would definitely come looking for me again today, but I didn't expect them to come so early.

It seems they're in a real hurry for this mecha.

Minister Ma said with a smile, "Master Chen, it's very presumptuous of you to come to visit so early in the morning. By the way, this is Academician Liu, a top expert in mechanical technology. He greatly admires your mecha."

"Greetings, Patriarch Chen." Academician Liu greeted him very politely, and said humbly, "Your mecha is truly amazing. We are all deeply impressed by your ability to create such a mecha."

Chen Han smiled and said, "Gentlemen, I need to correct you. It's not a mecha, but a puppet, a kind of puppetry technique from the Daoist school. Moreover, I didn't make this thing. It was made by our Chen family's ancestor. I don't know the specifics of how it was made or what materials were used."

"Not a mecha?"

"puppet?"

The two were clearly stunned when they heard this.

They never expected such a response.

Academician Liu naturally knew about puppets. There were many legends about puppets in ancient times, especially about Lu Ban's puppet-making techniques.

Even when they were doing mechanical research, they studied those books on Lu Ban's techniques, hoping to learn from them, and in some places they actually did find something useful.

But the puppets made by Lu Ban were not simple, crude things made of wood or stone.

Now this mecha is actually a puppet?
This is somewhat abrupt and leaves people a little confused.

"So up-to-date?" Minister Ma muttered to himself.

He naturally knew something about the mysterious old Taoist priest of the Chen family. There were also many legends about him online, and many people described this old Taoist priest of the Chen family as keeping up with the times.

When Academician Liu heard this, he opened his mouth as if to say, "This is not just keeping up with the times, it's transcending the times and being far ahead."

Chen Han continued, "Furthermore, although we can control this puppet with those AR-type glasses, we actually need to use our own strength to activate it. Right now, apart from the Chen family, no one else can control this puppet for the time being."

Minister Ma was taken aback upon hearing this, but immediately grasped the key point and asked, "Patriarch Chen, is it possible that the energy emitted by that feng shui formation..."

"That depends on the situation, maybe!" Chen Han did not give a definite answer. Logically speaking, if the energy emitted by that feng shui formation were absorbed and cultivated, it should be possible to cultivate something similar to internal force in martial arts novels.

Whether this can activate the runes of puppetry is anyone's guess.

He also had no subjects to study.

Chen Han knew the purpose of Minister Ma's visit, and then said directly, "Minister Ma, I know you came for this puppet. As a member of this land, I don't mind making some contributions."

"However, our Chen family needs some special metals, the kind used to make those feng shui energy detection instruments."

"i-r4 silicon-carbon metal!" Minister Ma immediately blurted out a term. It was indeed a special metal, a special synthetic metal extracted from the components of a meteorite.

This is currently a classified metal.

But then he realized that if he could get this mecha, why bother with secrecy? He immediately assured him, "Patriarch Chen, rest assured, however much metal you need, I will arrange for it to be sent to the Chen family."

"Then I'll have to trouble Minister Ma." Chen Han smiled when he saw that his goal had been achieved, and even gave the minister the low-level spirit stones inside the low-level puppet.

This was something he did on purpose.

After all, there is no spiritual energy in reality. Even if he has a system, he can only cultivate by relying on special spiritual caves and the little spiritual energy in his family's cave.

And then there are spirit stones.

However, spirit stones are scarce, and each one used reduces the remaining supply.

When he was making this puppet, he did consider researching spirit stones and creating something that could replace them, such as a battery.

But this is clearly not something he can do; he doesn't have the technology or resources.

The situation is different above. Even if we can't research spirit stones and spiritual energy, we can still create something that can replace them, right?

After all, there are so many usable energy sources in reality.

If that's the case, he might even have to exchange some with those above.

Most importantly, the international situation seems a bit off lately, and as a person from this land, he also hopes to make a small contribution.

Furthermore, once he returns to the Chen family and creates the protective puppet array, many people from outside the realm will likely pay attention. At that time, to maintain secrecy, the higher-ups will also strengthen the defenses of the Chen family's side, effectively blocking most of them.

Minister Ma had thought it would take a lot of persuasion from the Chen family head to convince them to let him study the mecha.

I never expected that I would get my hands on this mecha through a transaction.

Without hesitation, he immediately ordered more I-r4 metal to be prepared and sent to the Chen family, without the slightest delay.

The main goal is to maintain a good relationship with the head of the Chen family.

Then, the large trucks carrying the supplies arrived.

Although Xiaoyu didn't understand why her senior brother wanted to send the puppet away, she still controlled it to jump directly onto the transport vehicle.

This agile scene made Academician Liu's eyes light up, and Minister Ma's face was also burning with excitement.

Xiaoyu handed the AR glasses control terminal directly to Minister Ma: "And this thing is for you too. You won't be able to control it, and I don't know what you'll do with it."

Minister Ma was somewhat embarrassed.

The young lady is narrow-minded; her perspective isn't as broad as your senior brother's.

Afterwards, at Academician Liu's urging, he hurriedly had the mecha transported to a heavily protected mechanical technology laboratory.

"Hurry up, don't dawdle, unload the stuff, get the scanning and analysis instruments ready..." Academician Liu urged impatiently as soon as he arrived.

Seriously, he even tried out the AR glasses control terminal, really wanting to be like that little girl Chen and control the mecha to jump off the car.

But they really can't use this thing.

Finally, the mech was moved into a testing chamber.

Academician Liu also hurried to the testing station to check the real-time testing.

After Minister Ma came in, he said again, "Academician Liu, I suspected before that this mecha used some kind of Taoist method, and it turns out that it is. This thing is not a mecha, but a puppet. Are you really sure you can figure it out? Otherwise, if you really want to become an apprentice, you may be rejected."

"..." Academician Liu simply rolled his eyes, not wanting to pay any attention to this guy who couldn't speak properly.

Now that he has everything and enough time to test and study it, if he still can't figure it out, he might as well just devour the mecha, let alone become an apprentice.

Moreover, in this state-of-the-art testing chamber, the instruments can easily scan the detailed structure of the mecha, making the rest of the process much easier.

Thinking it over, he immediately ordered, "Activate the detection chamber to detect the mech!"

Following his command, the detection equipment was quickly activated, and soon the mecha's phantom image appeared on the display.

The testing has begun.

Academician Liu and his team watched intently.

However, as they proceeded with the test, they were dumbfounded because they didn't see what they were looking for; the test image only showed five bright spots.

These five light spots also affected the detection instrument, causing the entire detection screen to appear snowy for a moment.

Minister Ma also witnessed this scene and knew that there was a problem with the testing; the most advanced testing equipment seemed to be useless against Chen's puppet.

This Chen family puppet is really something else.

"Little Ma, don't gloat, hmph..." Academician Liu suddenly snorted and immediately led people to the testing chamber. Unable to test it, they planned to disassemble the mecha to take a look.

"..." Minister Ma was a little stunned by the retort. Had he been gloating just now?
Didn't say a single word make a big difference?

Speechless, he could only follow, and then he saw Academician Liu and his team unscrewing the screws one by one, opening up the mecha and revealing the internal condition of the parts.

Everyone was stunned when they saw that the inside of the parts contained unique runes.

"This..." One person's mouth dropped open.

"Damn it..." Academician Liu was completely dumbfounded.

I originally thought this was puppetry, and that puppets must be activated through mechanisms and special energy transmission methods.

What are these scribbles now?
Taoist talismans?

I don't understand it at all!

"Pfft!" Minister Ma burst out laughing.

Well, this time he was a little gloating.

This is unbelievable! The mecha created by the Chen family is actually powered by these talismans?

……
