Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1051: Research Method Granted

In the next few days, Chen Chuan studied the methods of Dongxuan Temple at home. However, because he had not yet obtained the resources needed to practice the techniques, he was only trying to figure out the underlying structure and had not actually started practicing.

However, he did practice the "Pure Spiritual Light" technique.

With the foundation of mastering the two major styles, he made rapid progress and got the hang of it in just a few days. He estimated that he would be able to master it in about half a month.

But it is just mastery. To improve the power, you still need to practice persistently.

Because this secret technique, like the two major styles, can be practiced in depth. After all, theoretically speaking, the two major styles don't mean that you're done once you've mastered them, but rather, you can become stronger with each practice as the fighter makes his or her own progress.

Time quickly entered the middle of the month, and on the 12th, a message came from the Government Affairs Office that a commissioned person from the capital had arrived and asked him to return to the Executive Mansion.

So he temporarily stopped what he was doing, came out of the villa, and took a special car to the administrative building.

As soon as he entered the hall from the special passage, he saw Secretary Qiao Yang waiting for him at the door and said to him, "Director Chen, the Chief and others are waiting for you. Please follow me."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Secretary Qiao, thank you for your help."

Qiao Yang led the way. This time they did not go to the government hall, but took the elevator all the way to the sky atrium on the top floor of the building, from where they could overlook most of the buildings in the central city.

Qi Weizhao and some major department heads of the Government Affairs Office are already waiting here.

When Chen Chuan came over, everyone nodded to him.

After he shook hands with Qi Weizhao and chatted with the latter for a few words, not long after, he seemed to feel something and looked up at the sky.

The rest of the people also saw a message being sent from the boundary, so they all raised their heads and looked upwards.

It seemed that the clouds in the sky were stirred by a force and spread out to the surroundings. At the same time, ripples appeared in the air above.

A moment later, a huge golden and red airship appeared out of thin air.

Chen Chuan had just sensed the arrival of the airship, so this airship must have a concealment function.

It can be seen that this airship has some similarities with the monster airship, and the airbags and hull are both made of alienated tissue.

The huge propeller blades do not seem to be made of metal. Instead, they resemble some kind of shell. There are folded wings on both sides of the airship. The entire airship looks like a whole, like a real living creature. It feels as if it has no airbags, but can fly purely on its own.

At this moment, a line of information appeared on Chen Chuanjie's screen. This was the database provided by Ximu. It showed that this airship was a Chongming-class dispatch airship developed by Dashun. It had fast navigation and biological stealth technology and was usually used to deliver and announce important news to various central cities or local officials.

This airship uses a large amount of advanced biological materials, and it itself is an active conscious entity that can achieve single-domain communication in the city.

At this time, the airship slowly descended. When it was more than 20 meters away, an oval opening slowly expanded under the belly, like a big mouth, and a ray of light shone down and landed on the open space in front of everyone.

Everyone present, including Qi Weizhao and others, received a message that this time only Chen Chuan was invited to board the airship alone, so everyone stepped back.

After receiving the news, Chen Chuan walked forward and stood under the light. Then he saw a dozen long black whiskers falling from the belly of the airship and finally entangled with him.

He did not resist and let the long beards wrap around him. After a while, the long beards wrapped around him tightly and lifted him up.

The fulcrums of these long whiskers were very particular, and he did not feel any discomfort at all. It did not take long before he arrived inside the airship. The crack at the bottom slowly closed, and he also kept his feet on the ground and stood firmly here.

And those long black whiskers gradually loosened from his body and retracted into the holes on the boat wall.

The cabin was brightly lit. The Commissioner Cheng who had come to present him with the letter of appointment last time was standing in front, followed by several entourage members. At this moment, he smiled, extended his hand to him and said, "Hello, Director Chen."

Chen Chuan stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.

After Commissioner Cheng shook hands with him and said a few words of greeting, he took two steps back, took a letter of appointment from an accompanying staff member, unfolded it, and read out the capital's new appointment for him on the spot.

After listening to this, Chen Chuan realized that in addition to increasing his salary by two levels, he would be mainly appointed as a member of the Ministry of National Security Affairs.

The Ministry of National Security is the superior department of the Ministry of Defense and is responsible for formulating the country's overall security strategy, coordinating and supervising the implementation of the security offices in various central cities.

Although he was originally the director, if there were any additional circumstances or a decision that was contrary to the Security Affairs Department, the Department had the right to suspend his authority and let someone with the corresponding title take charge and take over his affairs. But with this position, if the Security Affairs Department wanted to deny his authority, it would have to go through a rather cumbersome process, and in the end, it would need the personal signature of the Chief of Staff.

And even if he goes to other central cities, he can be regarded as the superior of the local defense director.

However, this position has a time limit, generally four years. After one term, if the incumbent is competent, he or she can be reappointed. However, if the incumbent is a "Secretary of State Affairs", he or she can hold the position for life. This position is the power holder of the Ministry of Security Affairs.

However, if you want to take on such a position, you need to go to the capital and resign from all positions in the local central city.

Chen Chuan knew that at his age, no matter how great his achievements were, it would be difficult for him to be promoted in a short period of time. At most, he would be given some honorary and practical rewards. However, his promotion to the position of member of the Affairs Department this time might have been due to the help of the Purity Faction.

As for him, he has no plans to go to the capital at the moment, and this is actually better for the time being.

Commissioner Cheng smiled and said, "Director Chen, this time you promoted the Skyline Project, killed General Su Kuo of the old imperial family, and recovered the flag of the First Expedition Army. The Chief of Staff was very happy to hear about it, and personally wrote a calligraphy and asked me to give it to you."

As he spoke, he took out a rolled up piece of silk paper and slowly unfolded it. On it were written the words "Always Victorious" in thick ink with powerful strokes. It looked extremely majestic.

When Chen Chuan saw it, he couldn't help but nodded secretly. He could tell that the person who wrote it was not a fighter, but he could clearly feel the spirit coming from the words.

Commissioner Cheng solemnly handed it forward with both hands, and Chen Chuan also took it with both hands. After taking another look at it, he slowly rolled it up and put it into the previous storage box.

Commissioner Cheng gestured again, and the attendant beside him pushed up a suitcase on a cart, along with another box that was half a person's height.

He said, "This is a commendation from the Affairs Department to you, Director Chen. It's something from your department, Director Chen, take it back and have a look at it yourself."

Chen Chuan did not take any action, but just took a look. The two things floated up gently from there and came to his side, one on the left and one on the right.

Commissioner Cheng smiled and said, "Commissioner Chen, we have already conveyed the appointment from our superiors. We have official business to attend to, so we will not stay here any longer. I hope you will be brave enough to take on the responsibility and live up to our trust."

"Thank you, Commissioner Cheng."

The hatch below opened again at this time. Chen Chuan declined the help of the long-bearded man on the airship and fell directly from it. When he was about to hit the ground, his body floated and stepped on the ground like a light feather. The two boxes also fell behind him, slightly suspended in the air.

At this moment, the airship above closed its hatch and rose upward. After a while, the hull disappeared into the air again, and the sound of the propeller blades also disappeared.

Qi Weizhao also saw the news of Chen Chuan's job change at this moment, but only people at his level and members of the decision-making group could see it. He said, "Director Chen, congratulations."

Chen Chuan replied with a thank you.

Because the airship from the capital had already left, everyone didn't have to stay here and could just come down from the top.

Chen Chuan had nothing else to do here, so he said goodbye to Qi Weizhao, left the administrative building, and took a special car back home. Then he washed up, changed his clothes, and went to the spacious practice room with the two boxes.

He first took the briefcase, placed it on the table, unfastened the lock, and opened the lid. The first thing he saw was a set of sealed National Security Affairs Department uniforms, including hats, boots and gloves.

And underneath this, there is another set of combat uniforms.

He touched it with his hand and knew that this suit was specially used by fighters. It looked better than the one he was wearing now. Next to the regular suit, there was a ceremonial sword and a saber, both of which were exquisitely made.

After looking at it, he closed the lid, walked to the front of the big box, pulled out the seal, unlocked the padlock, opened the box, and then he saw a human-shaped object about two meters and three or four meters tall standing there.

This turned out to be a complete set of armor shaped like a retro armor set, with complete armor in all parts. The mask only revealed the eyes, and there was a hat with beads hanging below.

With a slight thought in his mind, he came to the back of the box and removed the back panel. Seeing a gap-like opening on the back of the armor, he immediately understood that this thing looked like armor on the surface, but was actually a set of protective implants.

The Linax Federation has the best external implant technology in the world, but he knows that Dashun is also doing research. The thing in front of him should be one of the research results, because it is full of Dashun's local style.

He was quite interested in this, so he tried to reach into the gap. As he entered, the entire armor seemed to sense something and wrapped around him like a living thing.
