Chapter 848: Reputation is not what it used to be
Nian Fuli and his family walked back to the maintenance station in a lively manner. When they reached the SUV, Nian Qian exclaimed, put away his luggage, walked around the SUV twice, and said with a sigh:
"Cousin, you're getting a good deal. If I'm not mistaken, this car should be Feng Hai Company's 'Garden Guard'. It's the most understated car in Feng Hai Company. It's said that a full tank of gas can run continuously for a whole day and night on complex roads. This car must be worth at least 30,000 or 40,000, right?"
Chen Chuan didn't know much about this. This car was given to him by the Government Affairs Office along with the villa. He had more than one car in his garage, including sedans and SUVs. But this time when he returned to Yangzhi, he brought this one, which looked inconspicuous and useful.
In fact, he felt that the old Gard car was better. It was tough and durable, bulletproof and could carry cargo. However, it was given to him for free after all, so it was not easy to drive it often now.
Nian Qian rubbed his hands and said, "Cousin, how about letting me drive?"
Chen Chuan smiled, knowing that he wanted to have a try, and said okay. After Nian Fuli and Yu Wan brought the two little ones into the car, he sat in the passenger seat and gave up the driving seat. His cousin was quite reliable and he was not afraid of any problems.
When the car came out of the maintenance station, all the guards saluted them. Nian Qian was a little surprised when he saw it through the rearview mirror. The people in this maintenance station seemed to be quite capable.
After driving for a while, Nian Qian praised, "This car is so comfortable. The seats are high, stable, and the view is wide." He looked around and suddenly recalled the past. He said, "Cousin, do you remember when we were little? I once took you out of town to play..."
After hearing this, Yu Wan suddenly looked up and asked warily, "When did you two go out of town to play? Didn't I tell you not to leave the city?"
Nian Qian coughed twice, "Mom, isn't that because I was ignorant when I was little?"
"Your brother is ignorant, and you are also ignorant?"
"Mom, that's all in the past, isn't it? Do you know what surprised me the most when my son first came home? Mom, you look younger than you did a few years ago. I couldn't recognize you at first."
"Yeah?"
"yes!"
Nian Qian coaxed them a few more times and immediately said to the two little ones, "This time, brother brought you some fun things. I guarantee you will like them."
The two little guys clapped their hands and said, "Thank you, brother! Thank you, brother!"
Nian Qian was quite familiar with the road. Although he had not been back in the past few years, the road had not changed much. Moreover, as a technical officer, he had to learn to read maps and identify directions. He drove very steadily along the way. Soon the car got off the National Avenue and drove into the city.
At this moment, he saw a number of patrol cars coming the other way. As they passed by, he asked, "Dad, what's going on in the city lately? Why are there so many patrol cars?"
Nian Fuli said: "The deployment of the customs bureau has strengthened public security both inside and outside the city, and has also helped people in the villages outside maintain public order. The effect is quite good. Over the past year or so, many villagers living in the mountains have moved down, and the Civil Affairs Bureau has registered their household registration."
Nian Qian nodded unconsciously, then glanced sideways at Chen Chuan: "Cousin, I heard that the big poisonous sore of Molan Company was dug out, and you had something to do with it?"
Chen Chuanshuo said: "It was a chance encounter, so I did my bit."
Nian Fuli said, "Your cousin made great contributions in this matter, so he was recommended to Wuyi College."
"That's even more difficult, cousin, you are really good!"
Nian Qian admired this very much. Although Molan Company withdrew from the central city, the remaining forces were not easy to deal with. It was really amazing that Chen Chuan could participate in it and make contributions!
Chen Chuan then asked, "I heard that my cousin went overseas to carry out a mission?"
"right!"
When Nian Qian mentioned this, his brows lit up with pride. "The unit I lead is a newly formed technical unit. From soldiers to officers, everyone uses the latest implants."
There is no leak in this regard. The mission has been completed and foreign countries should have relevant intelligence. As long as the specific data is not disclosed, it doesn't matter if they know it. Let others guess.
Yu Wan looked at him and asked worriedly, "Qian'er, when you use an implant, does that mean you have to remove and replace a part of your body?"
Nian Qian laughed, "Don't worry, Mom, I'm using this to cultivate alienated tissue implants, not the kind that can rip out your heart and lungs. Just like a fighter..." He took a look, "Xiaochuan is a fighter, he should understand."
Chen Chuan hummed and said, "Aunt, don't worry. My cousin didn't have any tissue removed. He just had some alienated tissue implanted. These tissues can improve his motor skills and information processing level, and they are well-matched to his body, so there's basically no alienation or rejection reaction."
Yu Wan didn't know what he meant by implantation and alienation, but she could tell that there was nothing wrong with her son, and she felt relieved.
Nian Qian was secretly shocked because Chen Chuan had hit the nail on the head. He said in surprise, "Cousin, you have a pretty good eye. If you weren't in the processing bureau, I would have reported you to my superiors and had you poached."
Yu Wan said, "That's nonsense. How dangerous is the battlefield? It's enough for us to have you as a soldier in the family. Do you want to drag your cousin into this?"
Nian Qian smiled and said, "Mom, fighting is different now than it was before. We officers are both commanders and information processing units, and we are under strict protection.
During battles, in addition to a small number of elite soldiers, there are also air-ground integrated combat creatures that specifically assist the troops, field creatures to provide communication information, and inactive consciousnesses to help formulate reasonable tactics. The emphasis is on multi-dimensional connections and multi-faceted attacks. The old tactics are no longer effective.
Nian Fuli asked, "The previous tactics no longer work?"
What he had fought before was trench warfare, with cannons, barbed wire trenches, and dense fortresses behind them. Whoever attacked first would suffer. During that campaign to suppress the rebels, they took down one fortress at a time. The reinforced company he was in had gone through three generations of personnel in the end, and when they withdrew, more than 70% of them were no longer the original soldiers.
"Dad, let me put it this way. This special forces company I'm in, with the help of field creatures, combat biological weapons, and a few airships, can guarantee the complete annihilation of a full brigade of the old-style troops on the front battlefield. Moreover, our information and speed are incomparable to the old army. In addition to frontal combat, we can also carry out infiltration and sabotage missions behind enemy lines. As long as we don't get surrounded, it won't be difficult for us to hold out independently for dozens of days.
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "This is somewhat similar to the elite cavalry of the old imperial family in Jiaorong Land."
"Yes, you understand Xiaochuan!" Nian Qian praised. "But we all have our own strengths. Our reinforced company was originally formed to target elite cavalry and has been tested many times. However, they have dedicated warriors, so we sometimes join fighters in battle."
"sometimes?"
"Yes, sometimes it's not necessary." Nian Qian smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in his smile.
Chen Chuan understood that if fighters were not used, then implants would be used to increase combat effectiveness. He guessed that the country might have made some breakthrough in implant technology, so it could replace fighters in certain situations.
However, based on what he learned from the Defense Department, the most difficult problem with implants is actually the receptor adaptation issue. So even if there is a technological breakthrough, the number of people who can achieve a certain level of fusion should still be a minority, otherwise the old imperial family would have collapsed by now.
At this time, the car had already driven onto the main street in the city. Nian Qian saw patrolmen from the police station on the roadside. Every time the car passed by, someone would raise his hand and salute the car solemnly.
At first he thought it was because of his youth and energy. After all, his father was the captain of the police station, and he had mentioned it many times in the telegram.
But he soon sensed something was amiss. Along the way, not only patrolmen but also armed guards who clearly weren't part of the police department saluted the passing cars. If he wasn't mistaken, these were probably security personnel from the Civil Affairs Department. Forget about my father, even Director Guan Yuming wouldn't receive such high pay.
Wait a minute...
He couldn't help but look at Chen Chuan who was sitting next to him, and an unbelievable answer came to his mind. After driving forward for a while, he found that the scene still existed. He suddenly felt a little hot and wanted to ask but couldn't.
After driving for a while, the SUV arrived in front of the police station's family quarters. There were more guards here, and he couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster.
After the car slowed down, he casually asked, "Cousin, when I came here just now, I saw in the newspaper that the Director of the Security and Defense Department was coming to the city. Hey, you also work in Central City. Do you know each other?"
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Cousin, that's me."
Nian Qian's eyes widened and he braked unconsciously, causing Nian Fuli and his family to rush forward.
Seeing that they were almost at the alley entrance, Chen Chuan pushed open the car door and got out from the passenger seat. At this time, the guards on the entire street saw him coming down and all raised their hands to salute. There was a loud noise, which made several birds fly out from the trees on both sides of the road.
He also raised his hand and returned the greeting.
Nian Qian saw that from the beginning to the end of the street, almost all the guards within his sight were facing Chen Chuan and saluting him. He was very shocked. With his professional vision, he could see that there were also people staying in certain high places, and they were also saluting this side.
He took a breath, "Cousin, you have a big surprise for your cousin." He smiled bitterly and turned back, "Dad, Mom, did you know this a long time ago?"
Yu Wan smiled and said, "Qian'er, in my eyes, you are all the same."
Nian Fuli looked calm.
"No, my cousin..." Nian Qian said in disbelief, "How did he get promoted so quickly?"
Yu Wan said softly, "Because your cousin is a fighter."
