Chapter 247 Intelligence and Machinery
The matter of controlling evil spirits through contracts was too important and had to be done with extreme caution. The five departments discussed it for a long time before finally deciding to promote it to internal ghost riders.
It's just a small-scale promotion. First, some ghost riders that the headquarters can trust will be converted into contract riders, and the news will be controlled within a certain range. Otherwise, if it leaks out, the entire spiritual world will be in chaos.
At the same time, a group of elites should be selected from the national military and police, and have them sign contracts with evil spirits to become new ghost riders and enhance the strength of the headquarters.
Then, how should we commend Professor Wang Xiaoming?
During the time Wang Xiaoming was at the headquarters, there was a constant output of supernatural things, including a large number of props and weapons, which raised the headquarters' strength to the top in the world.
The answer given by the Fifth Department at that time was promotion. Up to now, Wang Xiaoming has been holding several positions and holds a high position of power.
Although he did not do anything required of him, his monthly salary was still deposited into his account on time.
Because the matter of the supernatural ghost had not yet been made public, the public reasons given by the five departments for promoting Wang Xiaoming were very vague, which attracted malicious speculation from many netizens at the time.
Now he has even invented the method of controlling evil spirits through contracts, which has completely changed the situation between humans and ghosts.
For such a contribution, any reward would be inadequate, which made the five departments worried.
Wang Xiaoming doesn't care about money and other material things at all. The headquarters just received thousands of tons of gold from Wang Xiaoming some time ago.
You should know that the current international gold price has increased several times due to the intensification of the supernatural revival, and it is even more difficult to buy it now.
Apart from external things, Wang Xiaoming doesn't care about fame and honor. Even if he doesn't take the initiative to talk about the changes brought about by various inventions and creations, there will be countless ghost riders to publicize and worship them.
Wang Xiaoming's mentality has never changed because of these things, as if the praise from others is just a breeze to him.
It’s difficult! It’s difficult…
The five parts just felt that it was even more difficult than just thinking about how to deal with the contract control.
For this reason, the five departments were extremely worried, and finally they sent Cao Yanhua to test Wang Xiaoming's attitude, but unfortunately they got nothing.
Finally, after intense discussions and debates, the five ministries decided to set up a special scientific research department, incorporate some national research departments and famous universities into it, and form the world's largest scientific research department.
Then Wang Xiaoming will be the minister, in charge of scientific research and education in Renguo.
His power may not be as great as the five ministers, but his status is extremely high, equal to that of the five ministers.
This gift from the five ministries was extremely shocking. When Cao Yanhua got the news, he was completely dumbfounded.
Only the tool and the name cannot be delegated to others. The fact that the five departments can give up such a big power shows how much they value the control of this contract.
However, Wang Xiaoming's reaction to this was very calm. He just said that he still had to do research, time was precious, and he just wanted to keep things simple.
No one could persuade Wang Xiaoming, so they had to report it. Finally, the Ministry of Rites personally showed up at the laboratory, presided over the handover ceremony, and then gave the appointment to Wang Xiaoming.
The Minister of Rites was a sturdy middle-aged man with a very generous personality. He chatted with Wang Xiaoming for quite a while before leaving.
After becoming the head of a department, Wang Xiaoming's life did not change much. On the one hand, the scientific research department was still being established and there was nothing for him to deal with.
On the other hand, Wang Xiaoming stayed in the laboratory all day and seldom went out, so some people who wanted to curry favor with him couldn't find him.
Wang Xiaoming took office as the Minister of Scientific Research in a low-key manner. After the announcement, it once again aroused widespread discussion in the society. People said that there must be something shady going on. Otherwise, how could a young man under 30 years old be the Minister of Scientific Research? The most amazing thing is that this Scientific Research Department is newly established and is in charge of education and scientific research in the whole country, with great power.
Faced with these doubts, the Fifth Department began to release some of Wang Xiaoming's research that could be exposed, such as the detection system in the spirit-testing instrument, special chips, and so on.
Although it cannot completely offset the public's doubts, it can be considered as a way to deal with the matter.
The supernatural world was very calm about this appointment and even got used to it, mainly because this person was Wang Xiaoming, the Professor Wang who changed the headquarters and studied the supernatural.
The five departments must have done this to win over Wang Xiaoming.
People inside the headquarters know more and know that the professor has developed something very important.
It’s just that because the information about contract driving is top secret and few people know about it, most people tacitly agree not to talk about it.
Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, a building at the headquarters had been renovated. On the day it was completed, it was heavily guarded.
After receiving the news, Cao Yanhua went directly to the laboratory to ask Wang Xiaoming to set up the contract formation.
The interior area of the building is very large, divided into more than a dozen large rooms, and gold is used in many places to block out supernatural interference.
After Wang Xiaoming arrived, he directly set up fifteen contract formations and left a detailed operating manual.
These days, he has made some minor upgrades to the contract formation, enhancing the safety of ghost riders when transforming or signing contracts. As long as the formation is operated according to the booklet he left behind, there will generally be no problems.
Cao Yanhua was worried, so he pulled Wang Xiaoming aside to watch the process of manipulating the formation to control the evil spirit. Nothing unexpected happened, and the warrior in the formation successfully became a new ghost rider.
Seeing this scene, Cao Yanhua was extremely excited, as if he had already seen the scene of the headquarters counterattacking the supernatural land.
The contract formation was successfully laid, the headquarters secretly started the Ghost Rider transformation plan, and everything returned to normal.
Wang Xiaoming also started his next research project which he had prepared long ago - artificial intelligence.
This was an idea that came to his mind after he was promoted to Sequence Four and gained the ability to empower spirits, to create a true artificial intelligence to assist in his research.
At the same time, he also planned to study mechanical knowledge, wondering if he could make a robot do things for him.
As a Sequence 4 alchemist, his talent in mechanics is already at an inhuman level, and Wang Xiaoming does not want to waste this talent.
An order was issued by Wang Xiaoming, and soon a large amount of cutting-edge technology data was transmitted to the headquarters from all over the country.
If it were in the past, Wang Xiaoming could also check this information, but it required coordination of applications from all parties, and it would take at least one day to see it.
Now, it was just a matter of a word, and the information he needed would be delivered to him. This was the change that had been brought about when he took office as Minister of the Science and Technology Department.
"Not bad, this seat is not in vain!"
Wang Xiaoming sighed and was immediately attracted by the information displayed on the tablet in his hand. These are the most cutting-edge knowledge in the world and it is an extreme enjoyment to see them.
Only one more...
