Chapter 268 - 268 The Grand Exhibition
268 The Grand Exhibition
“Wu Mo, don’t worry. Even if there are thousands of soldiers and horses along the way, I, Lone Wolf, will definitely send you there safely!” Lone Wolf, who was sitting on the right, added.
“Thank you,” Wu Mo said.
He was a little helpless, but he did not know much about these things and did not intend to interfere with the two.
It did not take long for the military vehicle to get off the highway and drive into the eight-lane road.
When they set off, it was past 11.00 am. By the time they were about to reach their destination, it was already close to 1.00 pm.
The view of the road was wide, and there were almost no vehicles around.
When he noticed that the military vehicle had slowed down, he immediately looked out the window.
A square-shaped building not far away appeared in his field of vision.
Outside the building was also a square made of gray tiles. There were flower beds, rockery, pavilions, and fountains in the square. Even in late autumn, the scenery was still beautiful.
At this moment, the square was surrounded by a one-meter-high fence, and countless city guards in work uniforms were maintaining order and patrolling the area.
There was a sentry post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps.
Soon, the car entered the square outside Spirit Domain Exhibition Hall.
A team of city guards stopped the car. After checking all of the passengers’ documents, they were allowed to pass.
Spirit Domain Exhibition Hall covered tens of thousands of square meters, and it was filled with materials and equipment related to the restoration of spirit energy.
There were many guests on normal days, and many ordinary people wanted to learn about things related to spirit energy. An exhibition hall like that was the most suitable place.
On this day, Spirit Domain Exhibition Hall had transformed into an exhibition for blacksmiths of the White River province.
On the way to the exhibition, Wu Mo saw many military vehicles entering the square as well.
After the driver parked the car, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf immediately brought Wu Mo to the venue.
Even in such a place, the two of them were still on high alert.
That way, if something happened, they would be able to react at the first moment.
Soon, the group arrived at the entrance of the exhibition. After a strict identity check, the three of them pushed the door open and entered the venue!
The moment they did so, the space inside opened up before them.
The exhibition site was the size of a football field.
In the exhibition hall, there were thousands of audience seats around, and there were many display shelves at the center, displaying many of the outstanding works in their long river of history.
Among them were embossed murals that depicted the century-long history of spirit energy restoration, as well as the photo wall of heroes who had made outstanding contributions to the Nine Provinces.
Using holographic technology, many common beasts, battle experience halls, and related sculptures, bronze equipment, and miniature figurines were projected on the open space.
Of course, these facilities were targeted at tourists who did not understand the environment of spirit energy restoration.
After the military confirmed that this place would be the exhibition hall, they had also transported a lot of black technology equipment for blacksmiths.
This included equipment material analyzers, AI equipment, and equipment for smart inspection.
However, the most surprising thing was a product that resulted from the fusion of modern technology and spirit energy recovery.
It was a jet aircraft that could carry 80 kilograms! One click, and its beam detector could scan the internal structure of an enemy building.
There were all sorts of black technology that were unheard of by most people.
Of course, in addition to these, there were also many master blacksmiths from the White River province and outstanding researchers from various prefecture-level cities.
There were hundreds of researchers from White River who had come to attend the exhibition, and thousands of patrol teams were in charge of security.
From this, once could see how much importance the White River province’s Military Department placed on the exhibition.
Even many academicians, principals, and other big shots of the Research Departments were present. It was rare to see these big shots on normal days.
To Wu Mo, participating in this exhibition would only be beneficial.
Soon, the receptionist led Wu Mo and the other two to their seats.
Wu Mo was curious as he looked at some old men with white hair not far away.
He could tell from their eyes that they had strong spiritual power.
They were at least six-star blacksmiths.
However, he, Bald Eagle, and Lone Wolf did not know any of them.
As Wu Mo took his seat, he saw the receptionist turn and leave. He curiously asked, “Excuse me, other than the researchers from the various cities, who else will be coming to the exhibition?”
Wu Mo was just curious, so he asked straightforwardly.
After the receptionist glanced at the two powerful martial artists beside Wu Mo, he contemplated for a moment and sensed that they must be on an important mission. He immediately said, “My Lord, apart from the blacksmiths from the various cities, there will be many related leaders coming.
“For example, the head of the City Defense Army, Major General Xia Chengtian, the director of the Hunter Bureau, Lord Bai Li, and the president of the Blacksmith Guild, Major General Song Yi.
“On the military side, there’s also the chairman of the North China’s First Military Region, Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng, Regiment Commander Yang Lu, and Brigade Commander…”
The receptionist read out the names of all the leaders who were coming.
Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf, who were sitting beside Wu Mo, started to breathe rapidly when they heard the names.
Good Lord, even General Lu would be there!
Many people would never get to see a lieutenant general in their lifetime. Many major generals rarely left the military region either, so it was a miracle to see so many of them at once.
Wu Mo’s heart beat faster as he listened to the list.
He had originally thought that the exhibition was just for them to get to know each other, but now it seemed that he had underestimated it.
The receptionist noticed that the three of them were silent, and he suddenly said with some difficulty, “My Lord, I don’t know the elders on your right, but I guess their not regular individuals.”
“Oh… I know. You can get back to your work now.”
Bald Eagle was the first to react. He waved his hand and sent the man away.
“Tsk, tsk, I’ve never even seen so many leaders at a military meeting. If the exhibition is so grand, won’t we also see leaders of the general level at the exchange conference?”
Lone Wolf sighed.
Wu Mo was also deeply affected.
However, Bald Eagle was different.
“There are still a few months before the national exchange conference in the Nine Provinces, but it’s not too early for the state exhibition to be held. The purpose of this exhibition is to display the White River province’s latest research results. It can be considered a military parade for our own people.
“It will let all the blacksmiths and workers in the entire province have a better understanding of the province’s strength.
“So, it’s not a surprise that so many big leaders are coming.”
Bald Eagle’s face was calm, and Wu Mo could not help but give him a sidelong glance.
“Let’s go down and take a look before the exhibition officially starts.”
Looking at the black-tech instruments that were constantly running, Wu Mo could not help but be curious.
The two of them were there to protect Wu Mo’s safety, so they naturally would not leave him.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the center of the venue. Looking at the embossed displays and the faces and deeds of past heroes, Wu Mo sighed in his heart.
