Chapter 68 Research Direction and Political Strategy
Magic City.
As a shining pearl on the vast territory of Xia Kingdom.
This city has a long history and unique economic and cultural status.
What ordinary people don't know is.
This city is also the research center for spiritual energy and practitioners in the entire Xia Kingdom.
Scholars from all over the country, under the leadership of the government, have established many research institutions.
Tens of thousands of researchers are distributed in different institutions, studying different topics.
When the first projection appeared, a large number of researchers in the Magic City conducted detailed explorations of projection.
After the "Wangyuan" projection, the entire Magic City sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, with many research groups specializing in the projection and its substances.
The material excavated from the projection is sorted and transported to the laboratory.
Scholars from all walks of life are holding microscopes and trying to find new discoveries inside.
They know that every new discovery means unimaginable benefits and honors.
…
Compared with these relatively normal scientific research institutions.
The subject of a research team located in an inconspicuous building in Shanghai is particularly different.
Their establishment time is very short, only half a month.
Yet they enjoy extremely high staffing and subsidies.
These people have only one research topic, and that is "What does Cheng Lin mean?"
…
"Close the file."
In a certain office.
A researcher wearing gold-rimmed glasses tiredly sent out an electronic document and appended these two words.
After completing this matter.
He moved his shoulders and back a little tiredly.
He got up, went to the automatic coffee machine and pressed the button.
The curtains are drawn in the research room.
The lights are on all the time.
From the time he entered the group, in his memory, the lights in the research room seemed to have never been turned off.
The work almost never stops.
Different personnel are divided into groups and take turns conducting data screening.
This heavy workload made them gradually lose track of time.
Even the perception of time is blurred.
throughout the office area.
There are various diagrams posted everywhere on the wall, and various files are piled up on the table.
The research office is established as a special agent department, and the intranet can directly receive assistance from major government agencies.
They can even obtain information directly from the Ministry of Public Security.
However, this seemingly glorious job actually makes this group of people miserable.
"what time is it?"
A female researcher yawned and came over holding a cup.
"I don't know, I just know that there are still three hours until the shift changes." The man with gold-rimmed glasses said tiredly.
"Did you find anything?"
"You ask me this question every day, more frequently than the director..." Jinsi Bian said quietly.
The woman is helpless:
"You... I'm also concerned about the progress. If we find out things early, we can get bonuses and vacations. If we continue like this, I feel like I'm going to have irregular menstruation."
"...I see, I can still survive," Jinsi leaned against the white wall and sneered, "God knows what the word Cheng Lin means.
At first, there were different opinions and no clue.
Later, the opinions were unified and the main focus was on name screening.
But how to check this?
The two characters Cheng Lin are in both simplified and traditional forms.
Simplified Chinese characters are currently less than a century old, while traditional Chinese characters have a history of three thousand years!
A span of three thousand years!
If Cheng Lin is really a person, then he may be any of the countless Cheng Lins who have appeared in Xia Kingdom in the past three thousand years!
This still rules out the possibility that the projection comes from the future.
In recent decades, starting from the founding of the People's Republic of China,
In the past few decades, the number of Cheng Lin recorded in our household registration files has been exaggerated.
Not to mention the ancient dynasties,
This is simply not what humans do!”
The woman smiled bitterly and comforted:
"Why do you have so much resentment? Didn't you get new clues later, such as that Shangqiu..."
"Shangqiu? Do you really think this is a clue? The two characters for Shangqiu are also simplified and traditional!
Emperor Zhuanxu started from Qiongsang and moved to Shangqiu.
Listen, the name of this place has come to Zhuanxu a long time ago!
This doesn’t narrow the time frame much at all!”
"The director doesn't think so. Didn't the director change the direction at that time and let us focus on the man named Cheng Lin who appeared in Shangqiu?
This scope is much smaller...and it is mainly concentrated among modern people...especially practitioners, especially..."
"But such a rough judgment may have led to the wrong direction of investigation!"
Jinsi Bian roared with some annoyance.
Then he probably realized that he was speaking too loudly.
His expression changed, and he suddenly sighed, held his forehead and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not in a good state of mind lately."
"It's okay," the woman smiled gently, picked up the cup from the coffee machine tray, handed it to her colleague, and said, "I have a hunch that we may get new clues soon, maybe this time
Maybe we can find the exact range directly.”
"Women's intuition?"
"No, you don't actually need to work so hard. You can pay more attention to the news when you have time.
Just last night, the third projection appeared, and I feel that this projection will definitely give us new clues..."
Just talking.
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard in the office of the director of the research office deep in the office area!
The office door was banged open.
The researchers in the entire laboratory looked over in astonishment.
It was just that their usually dignified and solemn director seemed to be a different person at this moment.
Full of excitement and disbelief!
He tore his tie, his bald head glowing coldly under the lamp.
He yelled: "Latest news! Cheng Lin's true identity has been confirmed!!!
Everyone, everyone, notify those who are taking turns to come over for a meeting immediately!"
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, with a red face and eyes, and shouted: "Everyone! Officially change the research direction!!"
"Scope of investigation! From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the time when the spiritual energy was revived, people named Cheng Lin who disappeared or died in China are older. People in Shangqiu... no, mainly in Yuzhou Province, take action!"
…
…
at the same time.
Research laboratories of all sizes around the world that specialize in studying "Cheng Lin" have received this latest news.
Mysterious writing appears on the new projection wall!
In less than forty words, Cheng Lin’s true identity was revealed!
It even points out the future of practitioners!
This news left all researchers stunned and speechless.
…
federal.
In a federally affiliated research institute.
A group of researchers in white coats, dressed like doctors, were tiredly and earnestly searching for information about "Cheng Lin".
Compared to Xia State, they lack sufficient information support.
Therefore, the investigation process is more difficult.
And right at this moment.
The door to the research room was kicked open excitedly by a bearded researcher!
Regardless of the surprise of his colleagues and the angry looks of his boss, this guy just excitedly waved a report in his hand and said incoherently:
“cheng lin! cheng lin’s identity is exposed”
(Cheng Lin! Cheng Lin’s identity is exposed!)
…
Su State.
Inside a military base filled with architectural styles of fighting ethnic groups.
In the research institute.
Hundreds of researchers who received the emergency assembly order gathered in a circle with curious faces on their faces.
among them.
A fat man with a red nose slapped a photo on the table.
At the same time, the ancient and mysterious line of Chinese appeared on the big screen behind him.
(Cheng Lin! He is actually a practitioner! Now, who can tell me what happened?!)
…
this moment.
News about the projection of new handwriting followed the dense global information network and quickly entered countless terminals.
Large-scale events like projection cannot be hidden at all.
The public discussion exploded instantly.
The exciting topic that has been missing before finally appeared.
The first ascendant of Xinxia Kingdom.
This identity is extremely eye-catching.
It makes people even more endlessly daydreaming.
on social media.
A large number of articles following the trend emerged in a short period of time.
A large number of netizens began to spontaneously analyze this text.
However, the information contained in a piece of text is limited after all.
The nearly 2,000-word long post on the spiritual forum has already analyzed it very well.
Even the most professional people have difficulty digging out more information.
And all these analyzes are pointing Cheng Lin in the wrong direction.
It is not that no one doubts it, but without other evidence, the ascendant is the most likely.
…
What ordinary people see is excitement.
The practitioners were fascinated.
Researchers have mixed feelings.
Politicians' concerns are different from those of most people.
…
"It's troublesome."
Imperial Capital.
Inside the Secret Service building.
Secretary Zhao looked at the latest analysis data submitted by the clerk and sighed softly.
The pretty little clerk was very young. Perhaps he couldn't hold it back and couldn't help but ask: "Why is it troublesome? Isn't his identity clearer now?"
Secretary Zhao glanced at her young face and smiled slightly.
He shook his head and did not explain, but said quietly: "Go tell the canteen to heat up the food again. It seems that the leaders' meeting will have to be extended again."
He sent the clerk away.
Secretary Zhao smacked his lips and looked through the window at the still bright and warm three o'clock sun sandwiched between the two buildings outside.
Under the bright sun is the magnificent Great Hall.
He said softly: "Ascension... Ascension... In this way, the leaders will tighten their tactics against practitioners again, right? Life will be difficult."
Mid July.
It's not the hottest time yet.
This message is like a cold current, trying to freeze this summer.
…
Central conference room on the fifth floor of the Secret Service Department.
Beside the long table, a group of people sat in silence.
Everyone's face was extremely solemn.
In front of them was the latest report on Cheng Lin's message.
However, what many people don’t know is.
At this moment, what they focused on was not Cheng Lin's identity, but another meaning revealed in this sentence.
In the Age of Dharma Ending, even if there are some magical monks, their abilities are very limited.
It is difficult to control national affairs.
At most, it can only have a certain impact on the side battlefield.
But it is limited after all.
However, the arrival of the revival of spiritual energy indicates the rise of a new force.
Every country and every government has to take this force of "practitioners" seriously.
A very critical factor that affects the strategy for practitioners is how strong the practitioner can be in the end?
If the strongest practitioners still can't resist cannonballs.
Unable to compete with the massive firepower coverage of the group army.
If you need to be careful when dealing with modern weapons...
Then it will be difficult for the power of practitioners to fundamentally shake the power of various countries.
but if……
What if the strongest practitioners can easily defeat the modern army?
What if the combat power of a single practitioner is enough to destroy a country?
What should the world situation be like?
How should the existing government forces respond?
Just continue to support and move forward.
It’s better to explore carefully and balance carefully.
Or... before the cultivator's power has truly grown... strangle it in the cradle?
