I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 353 Is the Chen family really that terrifying? And so fast?

"Teacher, how do we do this?" a younger team member asked Academician Liu in a low voice.

He couldn't understand any of this at all.

"This...it's a new discipline...um..." Academician Liu wanted to explain a bit to cover up his embarrassment, but he really wasn't good at these things, and in the end he could only sigh and say, "Sigh, I don't understand it either..."

"Pfft!" Minister Ma couldn't help but laugh again when he saw him like that.

Seeing Academician Liu's disapproving glare, he coughed awkwardly and said, "It seems we still need the assistance of our special intelligence analysis department."

As he spoke, he picked up his phone and began making arrangements.

Upon seeing this, Academician Liu snorted and decided not to argue with the other party.

In this situation, further cooperation between the two parties is inevitable.

Seeing those runes, they were like an illiterate person trying to understand advanced mathematics.

The other party is a special intelligence analysis department, which is more experienced in these matters than they are.

On the other side, in the mountain valley where the 'dragon vein gathers energy', a sense of impending doom has been added, because the area has been taken over, and a fully armed team of soldiers has been stationed there, checking for safety in various places.

Because in a few days, the higher-ups will be coming to conduct an on-site inspection.

After all, the data report on this feng shui formation is too incredible.

The special intelligence analysis team is already packing up. After leaving two people to assist in checking and maintaining the formation, the area will be taken over by the * side.

Before leaving, Xia Ke, as the head of the instrument group of the special intelligence analysis department, also conscientiously explained to a middle-aged man: "Leader Ding, the dense red dots on this instrument mean that there is still energy. Soldiers can absorb this energy by training their military boxing in it."

As he spoke, he pointed to another instrument and said, "This is a human image detection instrument. It can be used to detect whether soldiers are absorbing energy. Because this formation was activated only after the higher-ups issued a document, it requires legitimacy. Only soldiers who are absolutely loyal to the country can absorb it. If any soldiers are unable to absorb energy, please deal with it as soon as possible."

Ding Feng was utterly shocked when he heard these words.

When he first received the mission, he was stunned, wondering if the higher-ups were joking or if he had traveled through time and the world had changed.

Otherwise, how could terms like "dragon vein gathering energy," feng shui formations, drawing inspiration from Wudang martial arts, and warrior training that allows them to absorb energy be linked together in a document?
But his duty is to obey; he does whatever his superiors tell him to do.

But after truly understanding the situation, he really felt like he was falling behind, since the feng shui formation was right in front of him.

Those soldiers can really absorb that energy through military boxing training; even the soldiers themselves can feel it.

Seeing the scene of energy being absorbed by the warrior in the portrait, his expression turned serious, understanding what it meant.

It might not be obvious at first, but what about in a few years? Or even 10 years? What will their soldiers become?

Therefore, everything here must be kept strictly confidential. If a warrior is found who cannot absorb energy, it must be dealt with immediately.

Such a person may not be a traitor, but he is certainly not absolutely loyal. He might be discharged from the military at any time, and if he is targeted, his true identity will be exposed.

"Team Leader Xia, thank you for your hard work." Ding Feng also expressed his admiration for the people in this special intelligence analysis department, after all, they were able to create such a miraculous setup.

Then, with a thirst for knowledge, he asked, "Team Leader Xia, has the timing of this formation releasing its energy been confirmed? The information doesn't mention this."

Xia Ke explained, "Yesterday the formation was just set up and the specific results hadn't been detected yet. Now we can confirm that the virus should be distributed three times a day, at 3:00 AM, 7:00 AM, and 3:00 PM."

"These three times correspond to the three hours in Feng Shui when the dragon vein normally revives, while at other times the dragon vein is in a dormant state."

"The Yin hour is from 3 to 5 a.m. In Feng Shui, this is the time when the Yang energy rising from the earth along the dragon vein begins to revive. During this time, the dragon vein lies dormant, waiting..."

"Chen Shi is from 7 to 9 a.m., which is the best time in Feng Shui for gathering Qi and creating flowing clouds and water..."

"Shen Shi is from 15 PM to 17 PM. In Feng Shui, this is the best time for the dragon vein to gather energy and return to its nest..."

Upon hearing this, Ding Feng couldn't help but exclaim, "Feng shui is truly profound and complex."

Xia Ke explained everything clearly and took his leave. He had just gotten into the car when he received a call from his superior.

Upon answering the call and hearing the new instructions, he immediately replied, "Okay, we'll head over to the lab over there right away."

After hanging up the phone, he instructed the driver to give him a seat.

Unexpectedly, just as they finished dealing with the feng shui arrangement, their department had something else to do.

However, this is a good thing. The more this happens, the more it shows the importance of their department, and the more secure their high salaries will become.

Before long, Xia Ke arrived at a heavily guarded mechanical science laboratory, was given a work badge, and after passing the inspection, was taken to a large analytical room in the laboratory.

The rest of the special intelligence analysis team had already arrived and were observing a mech with the lab personnel.

This should be the body of the Chen family head, right?
"Xia Ke, you're here. Come and have a look around." Minister Ma turned around and greeted him when he saw him arrive.

"Okay." Xia Ke nodded and went forward to take a look, but when she saw the talismans inside the mecha, she was filled with disbelief.

Although he had learned about the power of Taoism through feng shui formations, seeing this scene still made it difficult for him to change his worldview.

Especially when you think about how freely the Chen family head's mecha moves, it's all controlled by these talismans.
The key point is that these talismans are also connected to some wires and circuit boards, which seems to carry a technological connotation.

It has a bit of the cyberpunk style that's often talked about online.

The people in the laboratory and the special intelligence analysis department watched for a long time, and everyone who saw it remained silent for a long time as well.

It was a sense of incomprehension towards the various talismans, but also a feeling of shock and awe.

However, Academician Liu's team consists of top talents, and the people in the special intelligence analysis department are also talented. It's impossible that they would come up empty-handed after observing for so long.

Minister Ma first addressed Xia Ke and the others, saying, "After looking at it for so long, what are your thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, a young man from the Special Intelligence Analysis Department spoke up: "Minister Ma, yesterday I asked Patriarch Chen about a lot of feng shui knowledge. Patriarch Chen mentioned that profound feng shui formations rely on feng shui stones as connectors of geographical terrain, and the arrangement of the terrain influences the formation's structure."

"Looking at the runes inside this mech, can we interpret them as being similar to the feng shui formation and the flow of energy in the terrain, with the crystals acting as feng shui stones?"

"The feng shui stone is connected to the geographical terrain and is maintained by the geographical terrain. This crystal should have its own energy to maintain it, and these wires and circuit boards are the direction of the terrain."

Upon hearing this, Academician Liu said, "These crystals do indeed carry some kind of energy, which is why the instruments in the detection chamber are affected and unable to detect the inside of the mecha. However, there must be other reasons for the wires and circuit boards."

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, looked at his team members, and asked, "What about you guys? After looking for so long, have you gained anything?"

One of the researchers chimed in, "Academician Liu, after careful observation, we believe this is actually a circuit diagram."

As he spoke, the man picked up a small blackboard and started drawing, saying, "These crystals are batteries, these wires and circuit boards are part of the circuit diagram, and these talismans should act as a power source activation device, a receiver in the middle of the circuit, and so on."

"If we replace these symbols with modern circuit technology, such as relays, receiver chip boards, etc., then it would be immediately obvious."

As the man spoke, a circuit diagram slowly appeared on his small blackboard, except that the talismans had been replaced with modern circuit diagrams.

This is truly astonishing.

Minister Ma couldn't help but say, "That should be the possibility. I never expected that the old Taoist priest from the Chen family, at such an advanced age, would still understand circuit science and directly combine these talismans with electronic circuits to create such an incredible mecha."

Upon hearing this, Academician Liu couldn't help but retort: ​​"Whether you understand science and technology or not has nothing to do with age. For example, I'm quite old and I understand it, but you're younger than me and you don't."

"..." Minister Ma was embarrassed by the rebuttal: "Well... now that we have some understanding, let's start by researching and analyzing in this direction and figure out the circuit diagram of this talisman first."

What he just said is indeed a misconception. The old Taoist priest Chen was simply born in a backward era, which does not mean that he was backward.

Moreover, given the other party's long lifespan, it wouldn't be surprising if they could learn anything new as long as they keep up with the times and adapt to the era.

The knowledge accumulated during their long lifespan might even surpass that of many modern experts.

After all, how much of these experts' actual learning time was actually spent outside of childhood, elementary school, middle school, and high school?
There's simply no way to compare them.

The key point is that this old Taoist priest, Chen, seems to know how to keep up with the times, and the mecha in front of us is proof of that.

Academician Liu did not refute Minister Ma's words.

The most important thing now is to study this mech.

He immediately replied, "Listen to Minister Ma, everyone get moving. Now that the finished product is in front of us, if we still can't make anything of it, when I go to learn from a master, I'll drag you all down with me. We'll all lose face together."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ke subconsciously said, "I wouldn't feel ashamed if I could become a disciple of Patriarch Chen."

The person from the special intelligence analysis department who spoke up earlier also said, "Me too. You can take me with you when you become an apprentice."

"..." Academician Liu was speechless for a moment. He suddenly felt that the people in this special intelligence analysis department were just like Minister Ma. They didn't know how to talk and were so annoying.

However, at this moment, someone rushed in and reported: "Academician Liu, we scraped off some metal just now and took it to test its composition, but there was no match. We don't have any records of this metal. However, the metal atom detection instrument shows that the atomic bonding force of this metal is twice as strong as those special metals in our database."

"How is that possible? Wasn't this mecha bought from that model company?" someone exclaimed.

Academician Liu immediately said, "Even if it's metal from that model company, there's no way to pierce through those robots with a single sword strike."

This statement is shocking.

The atomic bonding force of the special metal is twice as strong as that of the special metal they studied, which means that it is twice as hard.

You should know that their special metals are not publicly disclosed; they are among the most advanced and hardest in the world.

Now tell him that the metal of this mech is twice as hard as those special metals.
Is the Chen family defying the heavens? The key is that the Chen family actually forged such a mecha from this metal. How did they do it?
Does the Chen family not have such a mechanical manufacturing assembly line?
The key issue isn't the production line; this level of hardness means that ordinary heat can't melt it, so the requirements are ridiculously high.

It's safe to say that, apart from their own government, no one can do this right now.

Another point is, if the Chen family used this kind of metal, then why did they buy so many models from the mecha model company?
Why not just build it according to the blueprints online?
But these all seem to be secrets, and they have no way of knowing them.

For a moment, both sides stared blankly at the mecha. It seemed that in this situation, it wasn't just the internal talismans and circuits that needed to be studied; it also seemed that a metal-related laboratory needed to be invited to join in.

Are Taoist practices really that powerful?
Is the Chen family really that terrifying?
...

It was the next day when Chen Han returned to the Chen family from Qingming City.

On the bus, he received a phone call from Minister Ma. After answering, he started using the voice dialer on his phone.

There are no more news videos about mechs online.

Even the robot mech league released a special statement video: "Analyzing the Secrets of Chen's Mech Filming!"

This video has clearly attracted a large audience.

After all, the previous video was extremely popular, and the Chen's mecha was too amazing, with terrifying combat power.

While the robots in the Robot Mech League are often criticized, it's undeniable that they're made of very high-quality metals.

But those robots were easily defeated by Chen's mecha with a single sword strike; they were either pierced through or completely destroyed, as if they were made of paper.

Such an astonishing scene could not help but shock the audience, hence the immense popularity of this event.

However, suddenly Chen's mechs were no longer participating in the live broadcasts of the robot mech league.

It was as if the Chen family's mechs had suddenly disappeared, and it was just the original robots and mechs fighting each other again, which immediately made the spectacle less exciting.

Therefore, the video "Analyzing the Secrets of Chen's Mecha Filming" naturally attracted a lot of attention, and even received a lot of comments and likes.

Chen Han also clicked on the video and saw a person from the Robot Mech League begin to explain: "I have to admit that many netizens still have sharp eyes and know that the Chen's Mech in the promotional video we released before is fake."

"Indeed, that was a video we co-produced with the Chen family, and it was also to support the concept of the Southern Heavenly Gate Project."

"But don't be disappointed, everyone. Given the state of robot development in our country, mechs should be appearing soon. Next, I'll explain how the battle scenes of the Chen's mechs were filmed..."

In the video, as the person narrates, images begin to appear. It turns out that the mecha looks very high-quality on the outside, but it is actually just a shell with a hollow interior, so that people can wear inside.

In this case, the jumping motion and the sword-wielding motion are both human actions.

What follows is all about special effects.

The video also showed several special effects technicians working on computers to create special effects.

Once these images are released, even uninformed people will have to believe them.

Inside the car, Xiaoyu and Xiaomi leaned over to look at the video on his phone, one on each side.

Seriously, there was clearly a seat available in the front passenger seat, but they wouldn't go there; they insisted on squeezing into the back.

The problem is that he's just watching a video, and they still have to squeeze in like this. Don't they know that they've all eaten yellow melon before?
Is the efficacy of that yellow gourd a joke?

"Senior brother, isn't this video just nonsense?" Xiaoyu complained after watching the video: "It must be that the robot mecha league lost and they're not satisfied, so they pulled this stunt. After I get back to Chen's, I'll release a video to shut them up."

"There's no need. The robot league is just following orders anyway," Chen Han said with a smile. "Is there a term called macro-control?"

Xiaoyu looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Mi seemed to understand something and said thoughtfully, "It's because the mecha is too powerful. The people above don't want too many people to know, especially people from abroad."

"Then if the Chen family makes another puppet, won't the tourists be able to see it?" Xiaoyu curled her lip. "And during the competition, so many spectators will see it. Isn't that just burying your head in the sand?"

"Pfft!" Xiao Mi couldn't help but laugh, explaining, "What they see on the spot is what they see on the spot. As long as they don't say it online, who would know? How many people overseas can come here to see it in person?"

"We'll keep it a secret as long as we can. By the time we can release it openly, the video might already be all over the internet, and people abroad might be laughing at us for this charade."

Chen Han gave her a thumbs up: "Smart!"

"Making it so complicated, it's like the Strategic Deception Bureau!" Xiaoyu muttered.

As Xiao Mi said, foreign mechanical-related forums have been rife with arguments for a long time, especially the robot and mech league forum in the United States.

A couple of days ago, a guy named Dongfanglong kept posting videos of a mecha from the East. The videos showed a mecha taking down a robot with a single sword strike.

The robot that was sensed was the same type as their robot mech league.

This is what it means to deliver a direct attack.

The key issue was that at that time they didn't know if the video was real or fake, and that the mecha was the same one from the Nantianmen Project at Dongda University.

At the time, they all thought the video was real, especially since Dongfanglong had confidently released the live stream video.

Honestly, I was a bit devastated at the time, thinking that my own mecha and mechanical systems were so far behind those of Tokyo University.

But a video that came out today excited them all.

How could the mechs from the University of Tokyo be so powerful? After all, the students from the University of Tokyo haven't achieved many good rankings in the Global Robotics and Mech League.

It turned out to be just a special effects video.

That guy called 'Dongfanglong' actually used it to intimidate people.

For a time, the entire forum was filled with mockery:
"People from Eastern countries are known for their vanity; they boast about things they don't actually have."

"When this video came out, in the words of those Easterners, their faces were slapped hard."

"It's one thing to be outmatched by the robot mech league, but to engage in all this empty rhetoric is another."

"..."

These words reveal a sense of catharsis and unreserved sarcasm.

This left 'Dongfanglong' dumbfounded. He was a mecha enthusiast at **State University and had even applied to join the **State University robotics team.

He just didn't pass; even if he had, he would still be a member of the robot mech league.

Therefore, when he saw the Chen's mecha come out and realized that the Chinese had actually created such a terrifying mecha, he was very excited. He then posted the video of the mecha on the Stars and Stripes forum to slap those foreigners in the face.

After all, those people have always looked down on their robots and mechs, saying they're no good and haven't won any awards in global competitions.

At first, he felt really relieved to see those people getting their comeuppance.

But what's going on all of a sudden?
He felt like he was being backstabbed.

If those were special effects, what scenes did he actually see on set?
Is it possible that the entire system is still virtual?
The crucial point is that the video has already spread, and it was even released by the official Robotics League. He was powerless to refute these taunts.

Unwilling to give up, he immediately contacted a senior student who was a member of the robotics team at **State University and also a repairman. The senior student had previously complained that his robot had been pierced by Chen's mecha with a single sword strike, rendering the battery unusable.

After making the call and getting through, I asked, "Senior, have you seen the video online? Isn't the robot mecha league talking nonsense? How could our robot getting pierced by a sword be special effects?"

The reply came from the phone: "Xiaolong, what nonsense are you talking about? When did our robot get pierced by a sword? That was a special effects video we filmed in cooperation with the league. Okay, I'm busy, I'm hanging up."

On the other side, a young man hung up the phone and smiled. The league had given them a grant, so what was a little lie compared to that?

More importantly, it also washed away the shame of its own robot being pierced through by a single sword.

But Xiaolong was stunned after hanging up the phone. He was suddenly shocked to find that he was still asleep or had a mental breakdown.

So even what he saw with his own eyes was fake?

Not only him, but many people who watched the game in person were stunned.

What suddenly happened?
They paid for tickets to see it live, and they still can't tell if it's a special effect or not? Do you expect the organizers to put the special effects in front of them?

Stop with the excuse of being modest and imaginary. If you really had this skill, would your Mech League be stuck in this limbo, with no popularity at all?
They were very indignant and went to comment and insult the video, but when they did, they found that no one paid any attention to them.

They even discovered that no one in the comments section revealed the truth about the mecha.

These people have no idea that their comments are recognized by the Douyin system as soon as they are posted, and no one else can see them except themselves.

This is also a new comment transparency system introduced by various platforms.

Comments related to this mecha have been set up so that they are automatically made transparent by keyword extraction, meaning only the person commenting can see them, and others cannot see them at all.

The car quickly arrived at Chen's parking lot and stopped. As soon as Chen Han got out of the car, a game prompt suddenly appeared in his mind.

This suggestion really surprised him.

Is it really that fast?
……

(Tickets, tickets, tickets)
