This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 276 Disrupting the Qi Circumstances
Since the widespread adoption of personal computers and internet services a few years ago, the world's long-established information age has transitioned into the digital age.

Although this world lags behind Zhuang Lin's hometown before he transmigrated, it seems to have made leaps and bounds in recent years.

Perhaps Zhuang Lin's original world also experienced these things, but ordinary people didn't pay much attention to them.

With the accumulation of technology reaching a certain stage and the right momentum emerging, technological development has experienced a rapid surge in the new era.

The old-fashioned mobile phones were phased out only a few years ago, and mobile phone screens have become larger and larger, eventually leading to the emergence of some fully touchscreen phones.

If Zhuang Lin hadn't gone into seclusion, he would have known that the era he had been looking forward to when he was teaching in rural areas was already very close, or at least there wasn't a significant generational gap.

Of course, people's experience of new things in daily life is a gradual process, which is also an inevitable trend in the development of the times.

However, this may not be the case for some people. In the global technological competition of the digital age, the US has been one of the dominant forces in recent years.

Just a few years ago, Dayan provided substantial subsidies and support to many domestic technology companies at the national level.

There is only one requirement: vigorously develop science and technology at all levels, and be sure to establish a true cutting-edge advantage across the entire industry chain.

While this support has spawned many companies that fraudulently obtain subsidies and policy benefits, it has also led to the emergence of some extremely competitive products.

It has been criticized by many people online, who say that unlimited government subsidies are a waste of resources, a disregard for long-term economic development, and irresponsible.

But when some excellent technological products emerged and dominated the market, many people shut up.

Spurred by this, global technological competition naturally unfolded, and no country, except perhaps a weak one, wanted to become a true laggard.

For some people who always have access to the forefront of technology, it sometimes feels like things are changing rapidly.

At the same time, Da Yan was also labeled as a country that wanted to achieve technological hegemony, and was subject to many accusations, as well as anti-dumping and anti-monopoly investigations by many countries.

However, Da Yan didn't really care.

Or rather, aside from the online propaganda wars and the online insults among ordinary people, a considerable number of clear-headed people in Da Yan do not care.

Those who believe they understand the Great Yan's true intentions don't actually grasp its real purpose; economic gains are merely a lucky accident resulting from future considerations!
Several transport planes landed at Jingzhou Airport. Many people wearing military green short-sleeved shirts and trousers disembarked from the planes and were quickly picked up by buses and taken to a special base on the outskirts of the city.

The security level around the base is quite high, but strangely, there aren't many advanced weapons inside the base.

If someone were to visit, they would find many antique-style items, such as armor, weapons, tools, and so on.

Hundreds of people whispered among themselves on the plane and in the car, knowing they were on a classified mission and that special forces had been participating in special missions in recent years, and today it was their turn.

In fact, these hundreds of people had already been selected once, during which many people were eliminated. This time, these eight hundred people were selected from the remaining personnel at that base and brought to Jingzhou.

They had already received some information within the permitted scope, knowing that there would be significant changes in the future, but for reasons of secrecy, they did not say it explicitly.

However, ever since the elimination training was confirmed, the base has added a great deal of combat training, melee weapon training, and horseback riding training in addition to the usual physical training.

Furthermore, based on this, they regularly organize group viewings of "ancient films," including some currently popular TV dramas and some previously unseen video materials. Without exception, all of them are excellent and authentic, and have been widely praised by officers and soldiers. It would be even better if there were no reports on the viewing experience and thoughts after each viewing.

However, after arriving at the Jingzhou base, the eight hundred people saw some things about the base and realized that those "movies" were not so simple.

The officer leading the group led them to the entrance of a building that resembled a theater or lecture hall, then turned to look at the eight hundred soldiers who were already lined up.

"Once inside, take your seats according to your battle order. No whispering allowed. Go in!"

The soldiers immediately advanced in order and entered the auditorium. Although everyone was moving around, there was not a single whisper except for the sound of them entering.

Once everyone was seated, the entire hall fell silent, as if no one was inside.

In the relatively dim light, the soldiers sat upright, like sculptures sitting on the steps of the hall.

Everyone has long been accustomed to the rigorous training and iron discipline!

Shortly after, a man in a suit walked to the front of the hall, and a huge electronic screen lit up with a large title that read "Mission Plan".

"Comrades, the fact that you are here proves that you are the elite of the elite. Why eight hundred people?"

Have you ever heard of the Eight Hundred Vanguard Battalion?

All the soldiers were silent, while the man with the megaphone attached to the stage continued.

"The will to charge into battle is one of certain death. I can tell you, this mission is extremely dangerous. There may be no return, and you may perish here. Are you afraid?" There was still no sound in the hall, but at this moment, the officer sitting in the first row on the left front of the formation stood up.

"Comrades, you are allowed to answer, are you afraid?"

At that moment, almost all eight hundred people roared.

"Not afraid-"

The roar was like a tsunami, shaking some of the lights in the small lecture hall.

The man in front of the stage nodded slightly.

These soldiers, having gone through several rounds of selection and receiving some medicinal food supplements during training, have already surpassed ordinary people in physical fitness and condition.

"Alright, from today onwards, you will receive further guidance here for a period of time. Now, I will unravel the mystery for you."

Although the eight hundred men remained completely silent, apart from the commanders at all levels who already knew the situation, the rest were deeply shaken.

Ancient times? Celestial magic and spiritual energy? Demons?

This is no joke, is it?

This is clearly not a joke!

Soon, the eight hundred men went to select their armor. They were all of similar build and quite burly, and the armor made them look even more imposing. Their training was for group combat.
-
Months later, at the command of the leading officer, his soldiers roared hoarsely.
"kill!"

"kill--"

Wielding long spears and wearing armor, the eight hundred warriors perfectly integrated bayonet stabbing techniques, which originated from spears, with spear techniques, making them invincible.

After repeatedly crushing bandits and outlaws, and having fully adapted, they finally faced ancient military battles head-on.

This is Kuang Wenlan's pledge of allegiance to the politics of the Yan state.

Kuang Wenlan and his group's influence in Zhongshan City grew rapidly and also affected Murong Chui.

Influenced by the idea of ​​"pacifying the interior before resisting external aggression," Murong Chui finally steered his southward expansion towards the "correct path" of internal warfare over the struggle for legitimacy.

However, Kuang Wenlan and others observed that Western Yan was actually more powerful than Murong Chui's Later Yan, and its army numbered in the tens of thousands.

In order to disrupt the situation, throw the energy of heaven and earth into chaos during the upcoming special Hungry Ghost Festival, and also to put history back on the right track, the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations decisively took action.

At this moment, the two Yan states are engaged in another major battle at the foot of the Taihang Mountains.

This time, it was Murong Yong who took the initiative to attack. Murong Chui did not choose to sit and wait for death. He believed that the emperor's majesty was inviolable and that he could not simply defend the city. Therefore, he deployed his two armies outside the border city.

Although Murong Chui's army was large, its morale was clearly inferior to that of Murong Yong's Yan army.

In the previous battle, Murong Chui personally led the army, but even the "imperial pressure" could not stop the army from collapsing after losing 10% of its soldiers, resulting in low morale among all the troops.

Zhu Shengcai was a merchant, but now he was also an official of the Great Yan Dynasty. At this moment, he was riding a horse not far from Murong Chui.

Although he was called an official, it was really just a nominal position. Zhu Shengcai was kept here to prevent merchants from running away with their capital, since it seemed that the Great Yan in Zhongshan City was no longer very stable.

Murong Chui still possessed the "imperial aura" and gave people a faint sense of oppression, but his personal abilities were clearly limited. Although he wanted to work hard to govern the country, things often didn't go as planned.

Seeing Murong Chui's furious yet anxious state, Zhu Shengcai, who was watching from a distance on horseback, could only think of the phrase "all bark and no bite."

However, neither Later Yan nor Western Yan lasted long. The turmoil between the two countries happened to disrupt the balance of power in these few years, which made people feel that the grudges had been brewing for a long time and there was nothing unusual.

"kill--"

The two armies finally began to clash, but the situation was clearly different today.

Within Murong Chui's army formation, a force of 800 soldiers in leather armor and shields charged out first. This army, like a scythe drawn from its sheath, sliced ​​and tore apart Murong Yong's army like weeds wherever it went.
Murong Chui watched from behind, repeatedly exclaiming "Good!" When he learned that it was the Zhu family's assistance in training the new army for the imperial court, he called them pillars of the nation.

In an instant, the morale of Murong Chui's army soared, while the opposing side's morale declined. The two armies clashed, and the sounds of battle shook the heavens.

The energy flow at the foot of the Taihang Mountains was also disrupted by the great battle and the intertwined power of the two Yan states.
