Chapter 28: The Stone of the Galloping Horse
"That'...... I'm going to fight?" Wang Chong cautiously looked at the expressionless girl opposite, and made a fist gesture, "I may accidentally hit you, you must be careful, with the power of my fist, it may hurt to hit the face......"
Before he could finish his sentence, the Messiah swung a punch at him on the right side of the cheek, and with his right hand...... The robotic arm.
Fortunately, Wang Chong's dead skin didn't feel the pain, but he was hit back by the power of the fist. Wang Chong didn't expect the Messiah to look so weak, and the power in his fist was so great, if it weren't for the bandage wrapped around his face and his dead skin, the right side of his face would probably swell into a balloon...... No, it's just a ruptured skull, and it's swollen.
Wang Chong wanted to cry aggrievedly. He didn't expect martial arts practice to be like this. The so-called teacher sparring, isn't it a capable woman with flowing eyes, long breasts, long thighs, and delicate and transparent tights, while carefully teaching the movements, while accompanying the practice? If this is the case, he must be full of energy and strive to learn martial arts well, but the expressionless girl in front of him, her punches are fast and accurate, her eyes are so cold, and she can't speak.
Wang Chongchao squeezed his eyes at the Messiah, signaling that he was already very tired and wanted to rest. But he didn't say what he thought directly, as if he wasn't allowed to speak when practicing martial arts, at least when he was practicing with the Messiah, who had just been smashing his mouth with a punch for saying "Wow Messiah, you're so good." Fortunately, he is covered in dead skin, but he is not afraid of anything.
"It's still Uncle Chen who thinks thoughtfully. Only then did Wang Chong begin to be grateful, and Chen Hong was grateful. What jackal water, what dead man's skin, is it simply a genius creation, so that he is invincible in a fight with anyone. If you practice martial arts again, then ......
Wang Chong suddenly had a fighting spirit, and he really wanted to see his martial arts skills mastered and then battle his wits with the criminals at large in the city, just like Batman...... And with the full body bandage and the cool name of "Pharaoh", isn't it the rhythm of watching yourself become the next superhero?
Wang Chong began to feel that his eyes were filled with a fierceness, which was the unique fighting spirit of a hot-blooded young man who was not afraid of anyone and feared the sky and the air. The thought of a rising superstar, the Pharaoh, was about to be born, made him feel that the bones of his whole body were rattling, and even the lifeless dead skin seemed to begin to flow under this fighting spirit......
Wang Chongchao's Messiah hooked his fingers, which was a very provocative gesture of "Bi a Bi ycomeon". He was well prepared to wait for the Messiah to make a move, and he could dodge the attack with great speed and grace, and at the same time attack the Messiah with a backhand. The power he was ready to pour out, and in that moment he would take control of the situation, and the Messiah, the expressionless girl, would be powerless to fight back, and would be struck down by his magnificent moves.
However, the Messiah did not rush forward with his fists as Wang Chong had expected. In fact, she stood a few steps away, not even moving, there was still no expression on her face, and Wang Chong could even read a little lazy and sleepy from that expressionless face. It was as if the next moment the girl would fall to the ground and fall into a deep sleep. And even in her sleep, she was able to easily defuse Wang Chong's moves.
"Drink!" Wang Chong shouted loudly imitating the characters in the martial arts drama, took a breath and rushed towards the Messiah. He had already mentally demonstrated the trick he was about to use, so even if the Messiah didn't take the initiative to attack, he would be able to take the initiative to grasp the situation. In any case, his momentum and the situation of this battle cannot be changed.
The Messiah took a step to the left and gently stretched out his right foot, and Wang Chong stumbled and ate.
"Sure enough, I'm still a waste of wood as always," Wang Chong's whole face was pressed to the floor because he didn't have a nose, "The spiritual stimulation method or something, it doesn't work at all." ”

The R&D building of Wenshi Technology is located in a small town in Tongzhou District, Beijing, away from the glitz and bustle of the main city, and the quiet town is indeed a suitable place for scientific research. In fact, my father always wanted to set up the R&D building in Jilin, the headquarters of the group, which is the implementation place of the National First Five-Year Plan and has the first batch of heavy industry bases in China, which is an ideal location for industrial R&D.
Vincent, however, doesn't think so. More than 50 years have passed since the First Five-Year Plan, and the development of heavy industry has provided enough impetus for the country's economy, and it is already dying of age compared to the emerging Internet and high-tech industries with higher added value. In the past few decades of development, heavy industry itself has gradually been in the hands of the state, and Wenshi Technology, as a private enterprise, is obviously not suitable for grabbing such a piece of cake involving the basic lifeline of the national economy with the state. Setting up R&D headquarters in Beijing, which has many universities, can undoubtedly harness the power of a new generation of scientific and technological talents to develop Wen's technology, and Tongzhou's relatively cheap rent is a good thing for those recent graduates.
Vincent's salary for graduates is very high, and he hopes to attract real talent. He knew very well that even if he offered a salary higher than the industry average, it was still not worth mentioning compared to the value of these graduates. The world will be ruled by new forces, and Vincent thinks he doesn't have enough intelligence, but he can get a group of people with a high enough IQ to work for him...... There is a term in economics called "winner-take-all", which means that the first company to occupy the advantage is likely to eventually occupy the entire market.
As a traditional materials company, Wenshi has been providing building materials for the country's infrastructure and real estate construction since its establishment, until when Vincent graduated from University four years ago, his father changed his name to "Wenshi Materials" to "Wenshi Technology" at his strong suggestion. Vincent proposed a new corporate strategy to capture profits by developing new materials to occupy the upper reaches of industry and construction. At first, his father objected, but he eventually used his ability to gain his father's trust, and eventually his father gradually let go of the business and handed it over to him.
At this moment, on the fifteenth floor of Wen's R&D building, Vincent is handing over a box to researchers. Inside the box was the fluorite he had obtained from the East Station and traded with the Ice Locust. In traditional materials science textbooks, fluorite is called fluorite because its main component is calcium fluoride. The crystals of fluorite are generally octahedral or cube, with a vitreous luster and a variety of colors. The stone is said to have come from volcanic magma and is a product of the crystallization of fluoride and calcium ions during the cooling of magma. Vincent's concern is that fluorite can emit light when subjected to external forces such as friction, heat, irradiation, etc. The book doesn't explain much, but it seems to him to be a magical thing.
That's why he called the stone in the box fluorite. The stone is known as the Galloping Horse Stone by the Ice Locust, and it is said that the energy it contains increases the speed of the wielder's movements. It sounds incredible, but for him, who is working with Binghuai and is still secretly investigating the Chinese Society, there is nothing that cannot be believed. At first glance, Vincent felt that it was exactly like the fluorite in the book: a dark blue octahedron that glowed when exposed to ultraviolet light. So even though Binghuai had told him the name of the stone, he still took it upon himself to call it fluorite.
And the Stone of the Galloping Horse...... Could the monster with the antlers on his head actually read Yukio Mishima's book? Vincent didn't like Yukio Mishima, the Sea of Plenty saw him very empty, and he really couldn't imagine that the ice locust with his eyes full of gloom and unknown purpose would sit somewhere with a book in his hand, and then squint his ice-blue glasses to look at it. This feeling is as absurd and unbelievable as Yukio Mishima holding a full-color printed resume at the door of his office, looking nervous and saying that I am here for an interview, this is a resume, please look at it. But if you follow this naming method, could it be that there are still things like the Spring Snow Stone and the Xiao Temple Stone?
What kind of force is it that these things that cannot be understood by science, and what kind of force is caused by those who cannot explain it scientifically, including himself? But he believes that science can explain everything. Bringing fluorite to the group is to let the researchers you trust the most to study it to find out how it works.
The researcher took the box and opened it to see the fluorite inside. He knew that the contents of the box looked a lot like fluorite, but since Vincent showed him the stone to study, it meant that there must be something special in it.
"Shikahara, you analyze this stone. Vincent said, "Done in secret." The results went straight to me. ”
The researcher known as Shikahara nodded, and turned to walk towards his research room. The fifteenth floor is the most important floor in the R&D building, which was secretly set up by Vincent three years ago to specialize in the study of paranormal phenomena, and the entire floor is not displayed on the elevator, and the number of all floors from the fifteenth floor and above is reduced by one, for example, the 16th floor is displayed on the elevator on the fifteenth floor.
In this extra layer, there are only three researchers, and Li Luyuan is one of them.
