Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 545 - 519: The Mysterious Divine Artifact (Part 1)
One hour later.
At the helipad of the Dingjiang military base, a helicopter’s rotor blades spun as it flew into the distance.
After several hours of flying, the helicopter began to slowly descend at the military base located on the outskirts of the Capital City.
"General Manager Chen... General Manager Chen, we have arrived!" A accompanying officer carefully reminded him.
Chen Shouyi, who was asleep, opened his eyes and wiped the drool: "Oh, we are in the Capital City already?"
After a nap, he felt completely refreshed, with all the fatigue from last night’s flight dispelled.
Sigh, if only I had known, I would have just taken the helicopter directly here.
"We are still in the outskirts; our helicopters can’t directly enter the Capital City!" the officer said.
"Okay, thank you!" Chen Shouyi replied. He checked his watch and found it was already two in the afternoon.
"General Manager Chen, you are too kind, this..." The officer hesitated a moment before taking out a notebook and pen: "Could you please sign it for me? I’m a huge fan of yours!"
Chen Shouyi paused for a moment, then said: "Of course!"
Satisfying such small requests from his fans is a given.
It’s just a pity it’s a man.
He took the notebook and pen and asked: "Would you like me to write a blessing as well?"
Upon hearing this, the officer became excited: "Yes, yes!"
"Wishing you Martial Arts success — Chen Shouyi.
2017.4.8."
Each character was written carefully, as neat as printed type.
After Chen Shouyi finished writing, he felt slightly satisfied.
It’s no use.
If he wrote spontaneously, the characters would look terrible.
Scribbles, like chicken scratches.
Totally unbefitting of his esteemed status as a legendary strongman.
...
The helicopter slowly landed on the helipad.
He lowered his head and disembarked the helicopter. Outside, the leaders of the military base had come to greet him, but for someone like him now, wanting to keep a low profile was becoming increasingly difficult.
After some pleasantries.
Chen Shouyi borrowed the military base’s phone and directly called Minister Zhang’s office.
By the time it was almost evening, Minister Zhang’s car finally arrived.
The two sat in the back seat.
"I thought you would come in the morning."
Cough! I was supposed to come in the morning, but something unexpected came up.
"I was delayed by some matters before leaving!" Chen Shouyi said with a straight face.
Fortunately, Minister Zhang didn’t press further and began speaking about what Chen Shouyi cared about: "The Divine Artifact has been transferred from the laboratory and placed in the underground warehouse. Should we eat first or go check out the warehouse?"
"Let’s go to the warehouse!"
What’s there to eat for dinner.
He’s already eager to go.
The car drove all the way, finally arriving at a heavily guarded place before night fell.
Even Minister Zhang’s car, which had various passes, couldn’t pass unhindered, for this place housed all five Divine Artifacts of Xia Country.
Priceless value.
Their vehicle was stopped and checked five or six times along the way before arriving in front of a large warehouse.
The warehouse was brightly lit.
Inside, there were guarded soldiers everywhere, as well as some researchers.
As soon as the two got out of the car, an old man quickly walked over, tightly gripping Minister Zhang’s hand, with an excited face:
"Minister Zhang, these are precious experimental samples that can greatly advance and be of reference to human technology. Many are unique and cannot be replicated. They truly cannot be sold; to place them in the hands of a martial artist is an absolute waste."
"Elder Luo, calm down, it’s not my decision, it’s the country’s decision." Minister Zhang, helpless, rubbed his forehead: "Moreover, it’s only two items, there are still three left.
Enough for your research!
You understand the current situation; it’s difficult for all sectors, and the country has always prioritized research, and Divine Marrow has always been given priority, and this won’t be an exception now."
Minister Zhang’s mix of persuasion and promise left Elder Luo unable to respond.
These few Divine Artifacts have been in the laboratory for twenty years, without any groundbreaking results, let alone considering the current research environment.
Human technology is still at a primitive stage, with only electromagnetic force of the universe’s four fundamental forces being slightly applicable, while the rest — strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, and gravity — remain in the exploration stage.
Not to mention the more mysterious Original Force from another world.
And since the True God’s Flesh has been received, the transaction is complete; there’s no option to go back and undo it.
Not to mention others; he himself wouldn’t agree!
Just a bit reluctant about these valuable research materials.
Seeing Elder Luo at a loss for words, Minister Zhang smiled and said: "Let me introduce you. This is General Manager Chen, the founder of the Chen Clan’s cultivation method, and this is Academician Luo Chaoyuan of the Science Academy, an expert in Original Force energy."
"You... are General Manager Chen?" Luo Chaoyuan’s old face showed some embarrassment. Only then did he realize the person next to him was the key figure all along. He thought the man was Minister Zhang’s follower. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
So young!
Can’t tell at all.
Same age as his granddaughter.
Chen Shouyi, who had been silent, extended his hand and smiled: "Hello, Academician Luo, I’ve heard a lot about you."
He still held great respect for scientists.
His childhood aspiration was to become a scientist.
Of course, it’s better not to mention it now.
Luo Chaoyuan looked at Chen Shouyi briefly, then extended his hand for a handshake: "You know me!"
Chen Shouyi’s face froze briefly.
He might recognize a few female celebrities, but as a slacker, who would take the trouble to know a scientist?
It’s just polite talk, isn’t it?
"Haha, just joking, don’t mind. I’ve heard your founding of the Chen Clan’s cultivation method can sense and absorb Original Force, can you share what the thought process was?" Luo Chaoyuan eagerly shook Chen Shouyi’s hand and asked curiously.
How should I know what this thought process is?
It’s all the Book of Knowledge’s doing.
"There’s no real thought process; it’s just after pondering for a while, I had a sudden inspiration." Chen Shouyi said calmly.
"Sudden inspiration is good; many researchers just lack that bit of sudden inspiration. You’ve pioneered a completely new path, based on this alone. If there were still Nobel Prizes, you’d surely get one this year.
Are you interested in doing research? I’d be your assistant, and I’m sure many people would be interested." Luo Chaoyuan said excitedly, his eyes glowing. A legendary strongman who can constantly feel the Original Force is undoubtedly the most suitable person to study it.
For ordinary people, instruments are needed to detect Original Force; for this person, they’re wholly unnecessary.
Minister Zhang, standing nearby, looked dark-faced.
You’re asking someone who can compete against a True God, the strongest human, to do research with you.
What are you thinking?
"Maybe in the future!" Chen Shouyi said awkwardly yet politely, at the same time discreetly withdrawing his hand and looking towards Minister Zhang: "Where’s the Divine Artifact?"
Minister Zhang got the hint and immediately called over a soldier, inquiring briefly before turning to Chen Shouyi: "The Divine Artifact is stored underground; I see it’s getting late, let’s head over now."
ps: The next Chapter is scheduled at around 11 o’clock.
