Even though Tang Cheng resisted with all his might, he was still dragged away by his father, who had been waiting for him, early the next morning.
If someone else had this ability, they would have to consider many factors, such as security and personal emotions, and it would take much longer to conduct the test.
But who is Tang Cheng? He's his own son. What's there to prepare? If he doesn't want to come, we can even tie him up and bring him here.
The two left early in the morning, without even having breakfast. As soon as they left the residential compound, a military vehicle was already waiting at the entrance.
Upon seeing Old Tang and Tang Cheng emerge, two soldiers immediately saluted them and opened the door.
"So urgent? Let me grab something to eat first."
Tang Cheng jumped into the car, still complaining.
"You'll have plenty to eat later, let's go."
Once inside the car, Old Tang patted the driver on the shoulder, and the car immediately started moving slowly.
To be honest, Tang Cheng only knew that his father had a high status, but he didn't really know what his father did. This was the first time he had come out with his father on official business.
The car turned left and right through Heavenly Capital. Although it was still early, as the capital of a country, Heavenly Capital was never short of people.
After driving for a while, the car turned into an unassuming building. The building was bare outside, without even a sign, making it impossible to tell what it was for.
The car stopped at the entrance of the company. Seeing that Tang Cheng was still standing there in a daze, Old Tang patted him on the shoulder.
"What are you waiting for? Get down."
"Oh, oh." Tang Cheng belatedly got out of the car.
This place looks quite dilapidated. It's not easy to find such a run-down place in Heavenly Capital. It doesn't feel like a proper workplace at all.
After getting off the car, Old Tang led him straight into the small two-story building.
The style here feels like it's stuck in the last era; everything in the architecture and furniture looks retro, or perhaps they've really been here for a long time.
Old Tang didn't stop; he walked straight to an elevator-style door and called for the elevator to come down.
Tang Cheng followed behind, looking around. There were hardly any staff members here; it looked almost empty.
Once they got on the elevator, it started moving.
It feels like we're descending, but isn't this altitude a bit off?
The elevator descended for several minutes, which is hundreds of meters underground.
Finally, the elevator stopped, the doors opened, and Old Tang led Tang Cheng out.
Now it was Tang Cheng's turn to be dumbfounded; an absurd scene unfolded before his eyes.
Countless steel beams form the framework of an underground city, where a large number of people are working and building. Above, large lights are spread out, simulating a night sky.
They landed on the top of a very tall building, offering a panoramic view of the entire underground city.
"This is the Earthly Capital, the refuge of the Heavenly Capital."
Old Tang gave a brief introduction, explaining that this place was originally a natural underground cavity discovered during geological exploration. Because it was located right at the foot of Heavenly Capital, the idea arose to turn it into a refuge for Heavenly Capital.
This place is not currently open to the general public; it is under construction as a military facility. In addition to the external construction, a large number of experiments are being conducted here.
Instead of letting Tang Cheng stand there admiring the scenery, Old Tang led him directly into the building.
Most of the experiments here focus on weapons, but there are some more unusual ones, such as lunar soil cultivation. There are also nominal laboratories, but it's unclear whether any projects have actually been carried out.
Soon the two arrived at one of the laboratories, which had a sign that read "Bulletproof Equipment Testing Room." Upon seeing this name, Tang Cheng had a bad feeling.
"Dad, you're not going to make me do a live-fire test, are you?"
Tang Cheng hesitated, his feet trembling. Although he had this magic, he didn't believe it could stop bullets.
"Don't worry, wear this."
After Old Tang went inside, he tossed Tang Cheng a heavy bulletproof vest.
"You really want to hit me? I'm your son!"
Holding the clothes, Tang Cheng was still somewhat reluctant.
"Yes, because you're my son, so I have to handle this gun myself."
Old Tang wasn't being polite; he was already loading the gun. The staff member next to him wanted to laugh but didn't dare, so he puffed out his cheeks and blew on the gun.
"Ah?"
Tang Cheng reluctantly put on the bulletproof vest and stood in the designated position.
This bulletproof vest has been tested countless times, so its protective performance is already excellent and there's no need to worry about safety issues. However, being pointed at with a gun is still unpleasant.
"Alright, turn on your shield, I'll give it a try."
Old Tang arranged a row of guns in front of him, from smallest to largest caliber, while many strange instruments appeared around Tang Cheng, watching him and reading relevant data.
Clearly, behind this experiment, a group of researchers are preparing for subsequent specific data testing.
Tang Cheng activated the shield as instructed, Old Tang immediately grabbed a pistol and fired in the direction of the shield.
Bang! Bang! Several gunshots rang out in quick succession as bullets struck the shield and bounced off.
The shield remained unchanged, just as it had been when it was first activated.
Is the shield okay?
Old Tang didn't go forward to observe; instead, he asked Tang Cheng directly, "Judging from yesterday's situation, the shield's duration is limited, so the testing needs to be more intensive."
"It's alright."
Tang Cheng was quite surprised. The pistol had fired several shots, but the shield seemed completely unaffected, and he didn't feel any impact from being hit by bullets.
Old Tang quickly switched to a rifle and fired a three-round burst.
The shield flickered a few times after being hit, and the light it emitted dimmed considerably, but it still didn't break.
"Continue!"
Seeing that there was no problem with the shield, Tang Cheng shouted.
Old Tang switched to a regular sniper rifle, but the bullet caliber was too large, and the power exceeded that of a regular rifle. Even a body armor couldn't stop that shot. He could only have Tang Cheng hide behind cover, only revealing his shield.
The sniper rifle fired, and the bullet struck the shield directly. Unlike the previous times, the shield exploded this time.
However, the explosion was unidirectional; the powerful blast deflected the bullets that struck the shield.
The shield dissipated under this attack.
Seeing that the shield's strength had been tested, Old Tang put down his gun, helped Tang Cheng to the side, and several staff members immediately stepped forward to test Tang Cheng's physical data and feed him high-energy food.
I waited there for a while, and the results came out.
This shield is far stronger than ordinary bulletproof equipment; if an ordinary person were to wear it, they would basically be able to ignore long-range firepower.
Moreover, its weight is a significant advantage; magic has no weight at all, making it far more convenient than a full set of bulletproof vests.
Having obtained the specific data and given it a quick look, Old Tang stared at Tang Cheng with shining eyes.
Let's talk about your friend.
