Chapter 646 The Origin of the Capital's Layout
Those fifth-tier experts from the capital city all had missions to fulfill, so after chatting with Cang Nian for a short while, they hurriedly excused themselves and left to return to their posts.
"The deduction... is rather interesting..."
Cang Nian, on the other hand, murmured with great interest.
The Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom had just arrived in the capital, and given the great commotion they had caused before, the fifth-tier experts in the capital were polite on the surface, but unwilling to discuss things too deeply with him.
With that in mind, Cang Nian wandered over to Professor Shen's research lab on the Ark to learn more about the situation.
Speaking of which, how many powerful forces are there in the capital? How many supreme experts are there? What are their respective factions and special abilities, and what are their strengths...?
This is information that should have been gathered as soon as I arrived in the capital.
However, at the time, Cangnian felt that the number of fifth-tier powerhouses in the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom was much smaller than that in the capital, but compared to any single force in the capital, they were definitely behemoths.
Therefore, in order not to provoke the nerves of the capital's high-ranking officials and to maintain a low profile, Cang Nian did not directly ask about these information, even with Yang Feng as his guide.
Yang Feng claimed to be a tour guide in Beijing, but he actually deliberately avoided these kinds of rumors.
If someone is unwilling to talk about it, then there's no need for the elder to press them.
After all, Yang Feng is a member of the Yang family, one of the five major powers in the capital.
However, after Professor Shen spent a few days on the Ark, Cang Nian felt it was worth asking him.
As for the fifth-tier powerhouses representing the five major powers in the capital protecting Professor Shen...
Anyway, the previous events have already made it impossible for the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom to keep a low profile. So what if the high-ranking officials in the capital know that they are gathering information about them?
I may not become enemies with the powerful figures in the capital, but it's still necessary to get to know them and prepare for the future.
"The powerful figures and influence in the capital?"
When Cang Nian asked him about it, Professor Shen gave a strange look.
"Yes! Professor Shen, please tell me about it!"
"We can't arrive at a place and not know how many temples or statues there are, can we?"
The old man nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Upon hearing this, the five senior experts beside Professor Shen subtly turned their gazes toward Cang Nian.
The reason why the top officials in the capital agreed to let Professor Shen move to work on the Ark was actually to plant a spy in the Northeast Allied Army of China.
Cang Nian believes that the Dragon Kingdom's Northeast Allied Army has several fifth-tier experts, which Professor Shen's spiritual energy sensing device, which he made for the capital, can detect.
As for what these fifth-tier powerhouses' special abilities are, what they are good at, and since they don't use their special abilities on the Ark, it's impossible to tell.
In addition, their main task is to protect Professor Shen. They can only follow Professor Shen around. If they leave their posts and something happens to Professor Shen, they cannot bear the responsibility.
As for Professor Shen, after he started communicating with Noah, he never moved from his spot and stayed in the research lab. Noah even made robots to take care of his eating, drinking, and other needs.
At the same time, Noah was very considerate and treated these five senior experts with the same level of care, allowing them to fulfill all their needs for maintaining vital signs without leaving the research lab, just like Professor Shen.
Therefore, even though these five senior experts stayed close to Professor Shen, they were unable to glean any important information related to the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom.
Now, hearing Cang Nian ask Professor Shen such a sensitive question in front of them, they immediately perked up.
"Alright then, I'm a bit tired, so I'll sit down and talk to you."
Seeing that Cang Nian really wanted to ask, Professor Shen nodded and sat down.
“I wasn’t interested in these things myself.”
I spend all my time in the lab and rarely go out.
However, my special ability allows me to freely access electronic devices with my consciousness.
Moreover, no network connection is required; as long as the distance between two electronic devices is not too far, they can be used as a bridge to connect.
Therefore, in Beijing, as long as the information is recorded on a computer, no matter how many layers of firewalls there are, I can access it as easily as if it were my own home.
Before the spiritual energy revival, even without all my knowledge, I could have become a hacker!
Professor Shen said in a rather lighthearted tone.
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian glanced at the expressions of the five older generation experts and found that they were not surprised.
It seems that Professor Shen's abilities in this area are well-known among the upper echelons of the capital.
Thinking of this, Cang Nian suddenly realized something.
It seems that Professor Shen's high-level protection by the capital's top officials may not be entirely due to his unparalleled scientific research capabilities.
Within electronic devices, his cybernetic ghost-like abilities allow him to see everything in the capital as if it were laid bare before him, with no secrets whatsoever.
Who wouldn't be wary of such a person?
"So even though I never leave my home, I know the capital better than anyone else in the capital."
I can answer your question as well.
Professor Shen seemed to be able to see through Cang Nian's thoughts, gave a wry smile, and then said.
"Professor Shen..."
At this moment, one of the older generation of powerful figures protecting Professor Shen spoke in a deep voice.
"I know very well what I should and shouldn't say without you reminding me."
But before he could finish speaking, Professor Shen raised his hand and pressed it down twice.
Upon hearing this, the older generation of powerful figures wisely shut their mouths and remained silent.
"As you predicted, there are five major powers in the capital."
The rest of the grassroots forces are just a handful, insignificant and insignificant.
Of the five major powers, apart from the Kong family of Luzhou, the other four are essentially the foundation of the Dragon Kingdom's army.
During the war to defend the Dragon Kingdom, various ancient martial arts sects descended from the mountains to fight the enemy and defend the country, sharing meals and drinks with the soldiers and civilians, and fighting together against the enemy.
Among them, four ancient martial arts sects violated their ancestral teachings and taught their family traditions to the army of the Dragon Kingdom without reservation.
Although it was an era when firearms dominated the battlefield, the ancient martial arts training methods honed muscles and bones, strengthened the body, and honed reflexes.
This allowed the soldiers, who had only ever worked the fields with hoes, to quickly develop into combatants.
This laid the foundation for the Dragon Kingdom to win the war of national defense.
After the founding of the nation, the Dragon Kingdom's army used these four ancient martial arts techniques as the foundation for training its troops.
For decades, the martial arts instructors of the special forces in the Dragon Kingdom's army have all come from these four schools.
It is precisely for this reason that their disciples and old friends have spread all over the world over the decades.
The other ancient martial arts sects in the Dragon Kingdom were extremely envious.
The four major powers in the capital now, besides the Kong family of Luzhou, originated from this.
Professor Shen counted on his fingers and said with a smile.
"Four schools... Besides Xingyiquan and Bawangqiang, which two schools are there?"
Cang Nian nodded in realization, then asked.
He really hadn't expected that the current situation in the capital had such a history.
