Chapter 7 Special Affairs Bureau
Old Zheng nodded, expressing his satisfaction with the design, and then asked, "So, how effective is the armor in terms of attack?"
Hong Tao smiled and continued, "At close range, there is an alloy dagger. Its material is hard and its sharpness is enough to injure an Orphnoch."
As soon as the voice fell, Hong Tao pressed the button in his hand, and a steel armor plate nearly two centimeters thick slowly rose up on the training ground.
Then, he turned his gaze to Qin Ming, giving him a meaningful look. Qin Ming understood immediately, unfastened the alloy dagger from his waist, gripped it tightly in his hand, and strode towards the location of the armored steel plate.
Qin Ming walked up to the armored steel plate, slightly raised his alloy short knife, and swung it downwards. The incredibly hard armored steel plate offered no resistance and was instantly cut through, leaving a clean and smooth cut.
Qin Ming slowly withdrew his arm, looked at the short knife in his hand, and found that it was still intact, without any signs of damage or wear.
"As for medium and long range, I have also studied the genes of Orphnoch and created a bullet loaded with neurotoxin. It can be fired through special armored firearms. If it hits the target, it can theoretically kill or incapacitate the target. However, it also depends on the specific combat situation."
Old Zheng nodded and clapped his hands, saying, "Very good. The Leo cavalry armor is quite powerful and can greatly enhance the strength of our individual soldiers. We really owe a lot to Dr. Hong!"
But does this Orphnoch refer to those humanoid creatures?
Hong Tao replied, "Yes, I named them Orphnoch, a name inspired by Greek mythology."
General Lin grabbed Hong Tao's hand excitedly and said, "We'll talk about that later, Dr. Hong. How many sets of this [Leo Cavalry] armor do you have left? Can they be used directly? Can they be mass-produced? After all, the soldiers on the front lines are in a very passive position right now. If we can use this armor, we can reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties!"
Old Zheng chimed in, "Old Lin, you're a grown man, can't you be a little more composed? You're asking so many questions at once, how am I supposed to answer them all?"
Hong Tao pulled his hand out of General Lin's arms and said, "I understand General Lin's feelings very well. I'll clear things up for you. The data and production information for the Leo cavalry are complete. Mass production is absolutely no problem."
However, due to the difficulty in extracting some of the special materials, only 20 sets have been produced so far. With increased investment, the production speed can be increased.
General Lin became even more excited after hearing this and hurriedly said to Chief Minister Zheng, "Old Zheng, now that it can be put into use, you should give me the approval. I'll take the armored vehicles to the military region to select personnel right now."
Before everyone could react, General Lin suddenly grabbed Lai Changming and Hong Tao and strode outside.
Old Zheng frowned upon seeing this, quickly waved his hand, and said sternly, "Old Lin, look at you, so anxious! Hurry up and let go of Director Lai and Dr. Hong!"
Upon hearing Elder Zheng's words, General Lin realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly released their hands and turned to look at Elder Zheng, as if he wanted to say something.
However, as if he had anticipated what he was going to say, Old Zheng waved his hand to interrupt him in advance and said, "These twenty sets of Leo cavalry armor do need to be used by suitable people, but you can't take them back to the military region."
The cabinet has just formulated a corresponding response plan for the Orphnoch problem, and I think now is a good time to implement this plan, so I am announcing it to everyone directly.
After joint discussions between the Cabinet and the Imperial Household, it was decided to establish a department specifically responsible for handling such incidents, which was named the 'Special Affairs Bureau', or simply 'Special Affairs Bureau'.
This agency will be directly managed by the Cabinet, with its headquarters in the capital and branch offices in each province. As for the specific personnel arrangements, we will gradually finalize them.
All 20 sets of Leo cavalry armor were handed over to the Special Operations Bureau for management, and the personnel using the armor were selected from various military regions and patrol offices to supplement the Special Operations Bureau's action teams.
Old Zheng then said to Director Lai, who was standing to the side, "Your research institute will be directly merged into the Special Affairs Bureau's Research Department. In this way, we can better integrate resources to invest in the development and production of armor."
Then, turning to Hong Tao, he said, "Dr. Hong, on behalf of the Special Affairs Bureau, I am hiring you as the Bureau's Chief Science and Technology Advisor. We hope you can join us and work together for the country's scientific and technological development and security. What do you think?"
Hong Tao replied, "Thank you for your trust and recognition, Mr. Zheng and the Special Affairs Bureau. I am willing to join the Special Affairs Bureau and become a science and technology consultant."
"Okay, the Special Affairs Bureau will come over to take over the rest. Old Lin and I will be leaving now," Old Zheng said with a satisfied nod.
Finally, Old Zheng patted General Lin on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Old Lin, these professional matters should be handled by professionals. In addition, deploying troops for urban combat would have a bad influence. Let's go!"
After saying that, he turned and left with General Lin under everyone's watchful eyes.

Meanwhile, in the editing space.
"Ding!" The item [Leo Cavalry] armor created by the host has influenced the decision-making of the Ming Dynasty's high-level officials, generating influence energy points +. Current remaining energy points: .
After hearing the notification, Zhao Hong smiled and muttered to himself, "It seems that the clone I created using energy has successfully infiltrated the Ming government. Now that the Ming has the Leo cavalry, they also have countermeasures against the Orphnochs. It seems it's time to integrate the Orphnochs. Otherwise, it would be too boring if they were to be defeated one by one by the Ming."
He pondered to himself, then said, "System, query detailed data on Orphnoch."
As soon as he finished speaking, the system responded immediately: "Ding," data statistics completed, uploaded to the panel:
Gene name: Orphinoid
Awakening Count: 500
Number of native species: 15
Zhao Hong stared at the numbers, frowned slightly, and muttered to himself, "The numbers are still a bit low. It seems that some Orphnochs still retain some humanity. The number of native species is also not large. It seems that we need to strengthen our efforts."
Zhao Hong then turned and walked toward a culture tank that was nearly 3 meters tall.

Ming Dynasty, Eastern Province, Harbin
As the sun sets and night falls, the city's hustle and bustle is gradually replaced by tranquility. However, on this seemingly peaceful night, a fierce chase is unfolding.
In a small river on the outskirts of the city, a silver-white figure shot out of the water like lightning, splashing up a spray of water.
The figure was none other than Chen Yexi in his wolf form, Orphnoch, but he looked rather disheveled at the moment, with a large, shocking wound on his left arm, as if he had suffered a massive explosion.
Chen Yexi couldn't care less about anything else now. She endured the pain and quickly ran into the nearby woods.
About thirty minutes later, a group of fully armed patrolmen carrying light and heavy firearms appeared by the river where Chen Yexi had stopped.
They looked serious, their eyes scanning their surroundings warily, with three armored vehicles following closely behind, forming a tight encirclement.
