A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 105 The Storm Caused a Shock

Inside the European-style garden building filled with roses, Situ Dianluo was waiting for a reply from the base.

The data he retrieved had been transmitted back to the base more than half an hour ago. In the information age, the transmission of information is so convenient that the base could not possibly ignore his instructions. They immediately instructed the expert team in True Spirit Machinery to set aside time to study the data.

"The results are in. They all agree that the technology is indeed feasible, but there is a huge lack of data. The key issue is that they have not been able to obtain the plan of the person in charge. If the base invests in research in this area based solely on the existing incomplete data, it may take more than ten years before it can be implemented."

The general who called was so excited that his voice was a little unsteady. They naturally understood the value of this technology. "Headquarters has decided that all the agents who were originally operating near the East Kalimantan Allied countries will be placed under your command, and we will also send more elites there."

"General Lightning, everyone at headquarters who received this news is eagerly hoping that you can bring back the person in charge of this project and all the relevant information."

Situ Dianlu listened silently to the whole thing, then casually hung up the phone.

Apart from transferring command and deploying elites to assist, everything else sounded like nonsense to him.

But even if we continue to send people here, it may not be enough time.

Situ Dianlu turned to the owner of the manor—a secret service chief disguised as a retired tycoon—and asked, "What's the current status of the target's movements?"

"Our eleventh batch of undercover agents are monitoring Professor Jiang Si's movements around the clock without any blind spots."

The head of the special agents, leaning on a cane, was somewhat overweight with a high hairline, but his expression was very serious as he replied, "Please rest assured, General, they all have experience in this area. Even when looking through binoculars, they will never linger on Yan Zhen and Guan Luoyang, lest these two dangerous individuals notice them."

This intelligence chief, who was originally in charge of the allied region, was always accompanied by several intelligence agents equipped with advanced electronic communication devices.

Their headsets and communication watches are designed to prevent eavesdropping and signal interference, and they constantly receive reports from the surveillance agents, which are then compiled here.

"Half an hour ago, Professor Jiang Si and his son moved to a training base. Fifteen minutes ago, the Shenzhou Brotherhood invited several groups of guests to enter that training base, and they are currently verifying the identities of those people."

One of the intelligence agents then pressed his earpiece to hear more clearly and quickly reported to his superior, "We've found out. The people invited into that base are from some of the largest media outlets in Singapore and Malaysia..."

Another intelligence agent rushed into the garden, shouting, "The target is holding a press conference, broadcast live!"

………………

At the same time, Professor Jiang Si's voice appeared on the television screens of countless households.

Reporters from various media outlets stood close to their cameras, giving a concise summary of the press conference.

"Just now, Professor Jiang Si, a Chinese from the University of Singapore and Malaysia, publicly shared his latest research findings, which we will tentatively name the Resonance Technology of True Spirit Electric Energy."

He also stated that because he led all the steps in the entire research process and paid for all the expenses himself, the ownership of this technology belongs entirely to him. However, many of his ideas were inspired by Professor Yan Zhen of Yenching University, so he plans to donate this technology to Yenching Research Institute.

It is reported that Professor Jiang Si and his family, adhering to the ancestral teachings of returning to one's roots and never forgetting one's homeland, will soon return to China with Professor Yan Zhen…

In the extended limousine traveling from the allied country to the port of Singapore and Malaysia, Harald watched the video, his wine glass, which he had been gently swirling, now resting still between his fingers.

The curtains in the car windows were all drawn, creating a quiet atmosphere. Soft light shone from the ceiling inside the car, and he lowered his head slightly. A few strands of reddish-brown hair fell across his forehead, and his straight nose cast shadows on his cheeks, making his expression inscrutable.

Having just received news of the strange phenomenon at the University of Singapore and the confrontation between Situ Dianluo and Yan Zhen in the experimental building, Harald already knew that the situation must be extremely important and was very likely related to some new technology.

But unexpectedly, Yan Zhen and his team abandoned their practice of keeping it secret and engaging in high-level power struggles, and directly announced the matter to the public.

"To think it's this kind of technology, and to be so decisive—that's truly impressive. Whether it's Yan Zhen or Guan Luoyang, it would be quite difficult to be mortal enemies with people like them, wouldn't it?"

Haral swirled his glass again, the shimmering glass reflecting the bright red color inside. He muttered to himself, as if warning himself, but a turbulent mix of thoughts was welling up inside him.

In an instant, it seemed as if his eyes were made of blood-red gemstones, revealing a growing, stirring ambition.

True spiritual resonance!! If we could get our hands on this technology first, even ten, thirty, or fifty dinosaur parks combined wouldn't be able to compare.

By the time the Knut family reached their generation, it had greatly prospered and expanded in power. If the family elders of nearly ten generations ago were alive, they would probably all have to bow down to Harald and his cousin.

In Western Europe, their combined influence had spread across numerous cities, creating a complex web of rivalry and rivalry, with both open and covert struggles. However, in the political arena, his cousin clearly held the upper hand.

If this continues, within fifteen years, that woman may ascend to the throne of Western Europe.

But if Harald could acquire this technology, everything... would be different.

The bright red wine approached his lips and teeth, slowly slid down his throat, and he swallowed it.

As Harald drank the wine, it was as if he were swallowing a dangerous obstacle in front of him, inch by inch, the more he drank, the warmer it became, and it transformed into his determination.

Even Odin's wisdom could not foresee when death would come; every moment of life is inherently a struggle!

He recited a motto selected from his father's writings in Old English with his hometown accent.

Harald pulled back the curtains, ordered the convoy to turn, gathered all the armed cadres he had brought, and headed towards the southwest community of Xinma Port.

………………

"In no more than five hours, a chartered plane from China will come to pick us up, but those five hours will also be the most dangerous time."

In the underground living area of ​​the training base, Yan Zhen was giving instructions to Professor Jiang Si and his son, saying, "The fortifications of their underground base are quite good, especially the room you are in now, which is in the best location. You and your son should stay here for now and not go out and wander around."

Professor Jiang was still organizing the materials and only nodded casually.

Xiao Jiang, however, was so nervous that she became restless.

Guan Luoyang watched them from the doorway and suddenly smiled, "Professor Yan, do you remember the solution I mentioned to you during our discussion—the one that allows us to control True Spirit Electric Energy without surgery?"

Yan Zhen didn't quite understand why he brought it up at this time, but he nodded nonetheless: "Of course I remember."

"When you go back and try this method later, you can have him join in as well."

Guan Luoyang pointed at Xiao Jiang and said, "His physique should be quite excellent now."

Xiao Jiang suddenly stood up, his back ramrod straight, as if he were being inspected, and said dryly, "Yes. I'm very strong now. When I was helping the old man with his experiments, I even practiced weightlifting on the machine tool. I would sweat half a bucket every day. I definitely didn't let Brother Luo down when he saved me that time."

Professor Jiang Si raised his head and sighed, "Yes, I thought he could really switch careers and become a graduate student, but after only two days with me, he got such a headache that he'd rather lift weights."

Yan Zhen stepped forward and patted Xiao Jiang's shoulder, praising, "Indeed, not bad."

"Alright, you guys rest here. We'll go outside and do some more setup."

After Yan Zhen said goodbye, the two were about to leave when Xiao Jiang stepped forward and called out to Guan Luoyang.

"Brother Luo... President! Will you be coming with us too?"

Guan Luoyang turned to look at him and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll make sure you get on the plane safely."

"No, that's not it. What I meant was... I've been reading a lot of news..."

A bead of sweat appeared on Xiao Jiang's forehead. She was anxious to say something, but felt that no matter how she spoke, she couldn't express her thoughts. She kept cursing in her mind, scolding herself for never paying attention in Chinese class.

Finally, he clenched his fist and slammed it against his thigh, only managing to utter, "I've read a lot of news about the president. He's amazing, like a knight-errant or hero in a movie. I want to follow the president and learn to be that amazing before I leave."

Guan Luoyang's eyes flickered slightly as he carefully examined the young man in front of him.

Her hair was freshly shaved and hadn't grown very long yet, but it was at least pure black. The clothes she was wearing no longer had those messy, jingling ornaments. Compared to the delinquent college student I remembered, she seemed to be five or six years younger.

This tense yet determined gaze was completely different from the impression I had of him when we first met—a man who was always grabbing his hands and talking a lot.

"But if you don't stay with your dad, you'll cause him a lot of trouble."

Guan Luoyang smiled and said sincerely, "You can learn your skills from Professor Yan, but whether you can become a hero depends on yourself. If you really want to learn something from me, then my first lesson is to stay here and take good care of your father!"

Xiao Jiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly and said, "I understand."

Guan Luoyang was in a good mood. He casually picked up a kumquat from the coffee table and tossed it to him. He then picked up the Cheng Zhou sword leaning against the corner of the wall and left with Yan Zhen, coming from underground to the surface.

The roof of the underground living area was designed to resemble a basketball court, with two basketball hoops erected on the open concrete ground.

Yan Zhen's disciples and followers have all retreated here, unloading huge components from the trucks and assembling the powerful electromagnetic interference equipment.

Guan Luoyang watched for a while. Based on his knowledge, the final product assembled by these people looked like a multi-layered, multi-caliber turret built on a base of a heavy tank, topped with a metal pot-shaped object resembling a satellite antenna.

Yan Zhen explained, "Once this thing is set up, the interference waves are mainly emitted into the sky to prevent attacks from bombs, armed helicopters, or even missiles. However, the residual function has an impact on the ground that is no less than that of small electromagnetic stun machines."

"Missile protection?! That's a bit outrageous."

Guan Luoyang shook his head slightly. "If it were a multinational missile attack, it wouldn't be something anyone could decide on a whim. We acted so quickly that by the time they passed their decision, everything here would probably be settled."

Yan Zhen disagreed, waving his hand: "When it comes to technological research in warfare, bigger is better, and tougher is better. Regardless of whether they actually develop those attacks, it's always right for us to develop these defensive and jamming capabilities first."

Guan Luoyang glanced at the massive equipment a few more times, then suddenly thought, "Wait, Professor Jiang Si's matter was an unexpected event, but you guys brought all these components with you. What were you originally planning to do with it?"

"Hahaha, when you travel far to promote local culture, it's good to bring some extra things for self-defense, just in case."

Yan Zhen chuckled casually, quickly changing the subject. His gaze swept around the room as he asked, "Have all the members of your Shenzhou Brotherhood Society already left?"

Guan Luoyang didn't dwell on the previous issues. He nodded and said, "My most elite group of modified humans are still just recruits. Keeping them here will only increase casualties."

Yan Zhen also agreed with this approach. Life is precious. In the face of the upcoming battle, it would be of no use for everyone in the Shenzhou Brotherhood Society except Guan Luoyang to stay behind. It would be better for each person to perform their duties and stay away to protect themselves.

After thinking for a moment, he assured Guan Luoyang again: "After this incident, exchanges and cooperation between China and this region will definitely enter a new stage. If the Shenzhou Brotherhood Society suffers retaliation, we will definitely help stop it."

Even close brothers should keep clear accounts. Since Guan Luoyang has clearly stood on this side in this incident, Yan Zhen will never betray that trust.

Moreover, if the Shenzhou Brotherhood Society can flourish in Singapore and Malaysia, it will also serve as an important channel for connecting with various parties. If Yan Zhen and his people want to exert more influence on the economy and culture of their allies, they will have a more legitimate reason to do so.

Don't underestimate the power of the word "nominal".

Since the 1950s, although there have been occasional frictions among countries around the world, the overall situation has been one of mutual checks and balances and relative stability. No matter what you want to do, you have to find a suitable pretext for yourself.

Yan Zhen insisted on holding a press conference to allow Professor Jiang Si to publicly announce his technological achievements and donation decision to the media, in order to first make this matter officially a reality.

Anyway, there's quite a commotion at the Universiti Malaysia and Singapore universities, and those who need to know will eventually find out, so it's better to announce it first and put yourself in a reasonable and well-founded position.

hum! ! !

While the two were chatting, the valves of the massive jamming device over there were being pulled down one by one.

The humming gradually subsided, and the massive machine, visibly trembling, slowly returned to normal.

However, Guan Luoyang could vaguely sense that the vast electromagnetic waves, like ocean tides, were gathering together and spreading outwards into the sky in layers.

The once bright sunshine was gradually obscured by thick clouds.

Under the influence of the strong magnetic field, the white clouds churned, the misty fog thickened, and the dark areas in the sky grew larger and larger.

The reflections from the glass on the high-rise buildings were swallowed up, the evergreen green belts became dim, and the temperature seemed to drop slightly. Looking around, the whole world seemed to be filled with an atmosphere of impending rain.

Guan Luoyang recalled some introductions he had seen in the library.

The most advanced electromagnetic interference devices possessed by several major powers on Earth have reached a level where they can subtly influence the local weather.

If it's a region with extremely stable seasonal weather patterns, then that's fine.

However, in climates like those in Singapore and Malaysia, the use of strong electromagnetic interference equipment could cause rain clouds to accumulate prematurely if there is a possibility of rain within the next three days.

The rainfall over the next three days is likely to be concentrated in this period, falling from the clouds to the ground.

As the sky grew darker, Guan Luoyang asked in a low voice, "Professor Yan, who do you think will arrive first?"

Yan Zhen said, "They should all come, and they might even come together. I can't guess who will come first, but there's one we need to pay the most attention to."

"Oh?"

"Sanada Sengun".

Guan Luoyang asked doubtfully, "Why him? He should be the weakest one. Besides, it's probably unrealistic for Japan to be the final winner in a conflict of this magnitude."

"People like the Social Council of Singapore and the East Kalimantan Allied countries know how to play deaf and dumb and remain silent."

Yan Zhen gently shook his head: "Sanada Sengun's famous battle was in the Fusang Forest, where he single-handedly defeated thousands of Fusang Self-Defense Force members with only a sword. But in reality, his era was when the Americans had been stationed in Fusang for a long time and were at their most arrogant and domineering, oppressing the people."

This was the first time Luo Yang had heard of this, and he narrowed his eyes: "So?"

"Therefore, Sanada Sengun, representing the Fusō Kodokan, sent a challenge."

Yan Zhen slowly said, "Of the so-called one thousand self-defense force members, I'm afraid nine hundred and ninety-nine are from the Americas. This matter indirectly led to the establishment of the United Nations' S-level individual files, which were later covered up by the Americans, and few people know about them now."

"Even the Japanese themselves thought that their swordsman was a man who stayed in seclusion by the mountains and rivers, a dull and indifferent person. But in reality, he was the most fierce and passionate, with a heart that was both the blade and the sword in his heart. He could truly be called a hero of Japan."

Upon hearing this, Guan Luoyang understood somewhat. He raised an eyebrow and said in a low voice, "His hero is my enemy. That's why he would never sit idly by and watch Professor Jiang board the plane."

Situ Dianluo and his associates wanted to take Professor Jiang Si away and lead the subsequent research.

Japan lacks this kind of strength. Once Sanada's army appears, they will only be heading straight for Professor Jiang Si.

"Besides him, Situ Dianluo, Harald, Leopold and others are all of very high status and position."

"But since we have already held that press conference, if they come again, it would be as if they have abandoned their identities as generals and members of parliament, and are merely agents attempting to harm the personal safety of Chinese scientists."

Yan Zhen was also looking up at the dark sky. The dampness in the air was getting stronger and stronger, but his breathing was getting smoother and smoother, and he even made a clear sound as he took a deep breath.

"President Guan, under these circumstances, once the fight starts, you and I can kill each other without any restraint!!!"

At that moment, convoys of similarly menacing vehicles were closing in on the base from different directions.

I don't know if it was the murderous aura of people that caused the subtle changes in the weather, or if it was just a coincidence.

Just as the last word of the sentence was uttered, the first drop of rain fell from the dark clouds in the sky.

The rain was torrential, and its sound was deafening.

Within a minute, most of the southwest community, centered on the base of the Shenzhou Brotherhood Society, was shrouded in this torrential rain.

The two combatants, separated by the rain, had already appeared in each other's sight from afar.
