Branches of the Psychic Association have been opened in the capitals of every major province. As soon as December arrives, the association branches will set up enrollment points, and students from all provinces who want to participate in the assessment will gather at the provincial association branches.
The entrance of the Psychic Association branch in Fengyuan City, Northern Province.
A widened and enlarged SUV drove up from a distance and stopped at the door of the branch building. A middle-aged man with a big belly and a proud young boy got out from the back seat of the car. They were Boss Wang and his son Wang Boxi.
After one adult and one child got off the car, the driver drove away.
Boss Wang, who was introduced by Yan Shu and contracted the reconstruction project of Su Mo's old campus - Wang Qiang, has not returned to his hometown of Fengyuan for many years. He has been busy in Beijing with various construction projects in cooperation with the college. He is a very busy man.
That's right, although Su Mo has been missing in the past few years, the construction of the land behind the old campus of the college has never stopped. The plan had been made before, and even though Su Mo was not there, Zhou Wei was still executing it without stopping.
The family building that Su Mo wanted to move to in the new campus has been completed, but the construction company that contracted it could not continue to cooperate because they were assigned other construction tasks by the authorities. They withdrew, and Zhou Wei found boss Wang Qiang, with whom Zhou Wei had cooperated once before.
Boss Wang was pleasantly surprised to get a chance to make a fortune. He took on a large planned construction project behind the old campus. Over the past few years, he made a fortune. His construction company continued to expand, and he rose from a contractor to President Wang.
Boss Wang walked into the branch with his son, and Wang Boxi followed reluctantly with a dull expression on his face. When passing the lobby on the first floor of the branch, Wang Boxi's eyes swept over the candidates queuing in the corner of the lobby to take the exam. He paused, then quickly caught up with his father.
Outside the branch, the car they had just ridden in drove towards the next parking lot amid the envious gazes of passers-by.
Why does a car attract so much envy? Here we have to talk about the current automobile industry in Xiaguo.
Because the current situation in Xia State is also dangerous, people are likely to encounter scattered Zerg troops after leaving the cities protected by garrison troops, but some people inevitably need to travel between cities, so the safety of travel vehicles is very important.
State-owned transport companies are the safest, but they have fewer flights and unpredictable schedules, so there is a great demand for private cars.
In recent years, the three major automobile manufacturers in Xia Country that survived the insect plague have been developing safer materials and improving and optimizing car models to create cars that are more suitable for Xia Country's current use.
Following the latest generation of super batteries released by the Association’s Research Institute in 2024, Yan’s Laboratory also launched a new material, cemented carbide, with excellent defense capabilities.
This is the main material of the same model as the Shuguang mecha shell. The quality has been tested on the battlefield. After competition, the three car companies won the purchasing channels of cemented carbide at different prices.
Although the price is quite high, it is worth it as it can save them the time, money and uncertainty of their own research and development. After all, their own laboratory has not been able to produce a better quality material than Yan's carbide for so long.
Now that they have bought it, they can directly use it on the car models they have already conceived, and new models of the "Chariot" series are coming out one after another.
The high price of raw materials and the use of a variety of new technologies in the tank are bound to be expensive.
No matter how expensive it is, it is not unacceptable for those who need to travel frequently between cities.
They have a tank that can improve their safety, so they don't need to accommodate the unstable public transportation schedule. Even if they encounter Zerg on the road, they just need to lock the doors and windows and wait for the nearest action team to come to rescue.
The widened and enlarged SUV that Boss Wang was riding in was one of these small tanks.
In addition to using hard alloy for the entire vehicle, it also has a psychic weapon system installed inside, which allows it to defend and wait for rescue while also having the ability to counterattack. If the attack is not large in scale, it can solve the problem by itself without having to wait for the action team to arrive.
It can be regarded as a mid-to-high-end tank on the market.
In the past two years, in addition to launching a series of tanks, Xiaguo's auto companies have also made rapid progress in electric vehicles.
With extremely short charging time, long driving range and a variety of convenient functions, ordinary electric cars are cheap and easy to use, except that they cannot be driven out of the city at will. They are quickly accepted by the public, and electric cars almost dominate the cities of Xia State.
The booming car companies now have even greater ambitions.
As the lunar outpost developed into Laurel City, car companies joined together to develop faster and more convenient flying cars, but that’s a story for another time.
Now let’s get back to Boss Wang.
"Be good and say hello to people when you see them," Boss Wang said to his son.
He took time out of his busy schedule to come back just for the boy's studies. As an old father, he was very worried, but his son Wang Boxi was not very cooperative.
The young Wang Boxi, who had grown a lot taller than he was back then, nodded in agreement.
"Ding..." The elevator door leading to the office area upstairs opened.
Inside was the staff who came down to receive the two people.
Boss Wang and his son were taken by the staff to an office on the top floor, which was the office of the internal affairs director of the Fengyuan branch. After knocking on the door for them, the staff left.
"Hello, Minister Wang. Long time no see. This is my son Wang Boxi." Boss Wang took the lead in greeting and introducing.
"Hello, Uncle Wang." Wang Boxi greeted and remained silent.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Wang, how come you have time to come back to Fengyuan at this time?" Wang Zhen, the internal affairs director, looked at the two of them with a smile.
Wang Zhen was originally the captain of the second action team of the Fengyuan branch. He was injured during an out mission and could no longer continue to go out on missions, but he had made meritorious services and was directly appointed as the head of the internal affairs department of the Fengyuan branch.
Since taking this position, he has had several encounters with Mr. Wang in Kyoto. They are all from the same hometown, and he will come to see him when he returns to Fengyuan. Although Wang Zhen doesn't know why he comes to see him, he is not very surprised.
"It's all because of my kid's study problem."
"He's about to go to high school. I came back specially to take him to register."
Now, because there are independent psychic classes in high schools everywhere, students need to return to their registered place of residence to attend high school.
Wang Zhen nodded.
"Oh? Mr. Wang, your family's registered residence is still in Fengyuan? That means your child is coming back to study."
