Chapter 1918 The Trip to TPC

On this day, TPC welcomed one... well, it should be two special guests.

Accompanied by Satoshi Sawai, Tetsuji Yoshioka, and Masayuki Nanbara, who can be considered the three giants of TPC, Gu Chen and Gomora arrived at the TPC Far East headquarters aboard a TPC transport plane.

When Gu Chen stepped onto the floor of TPC Far East headquarters, even with his current composure, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

This is TPC, a place that accompanied him for countless years during his childhood. He never imagined that he would actually be able to step into this place in his lifetime, instead of just seeing it through a screen and not being able to touch it.

Walking steadily through the TPC Far East headquarters, Gu Chen and Gomora, led by Sawai Soichiro, toured various departments.

Unsurprisingly, the staff at TPC were all startled by Gomora's appearance. Some even collapsed to the ground in fright, and many girls and boys screamed in terror.

For a time, the TPC Far East headquarters was bustling with activity.

However, when they saw Gomora obediently following behind Gu Chen, neither roaring nor behaving erratically, the fear in everyone's hearts gradually dissipated, and they curiously peeked out to secretly observe.

The staff at TPC Far East headquarters probably already consider Gomora to be a new species discovered by the Victory Team on the mysterious island.

Although this new species looks a bit scary, after looking at it for a while, you can feel a kind of wild beauty about it.

"Advisor, this is the TPC Police Station. I think it would be more appropriate for Chief Yoshioka to introduce it to you."

After Sawai Soichiro brought Gu Chen to the police station at the TPC Far East headquarters, he gave his old friend Yoshioka Tetsuji room to make his mark.

Tetsuji Yoshioka naturally stepped forward to introduce Gu Chen, saying, "Advisor, welcome to the police station. As you can see, our police station in TPC is mainly responsible for routine security maintenance."

"For example, we are responsible for the security of government agencies, organizations, and enterprises, including the security of TPC's own facilities and personnel."

"In addition, we are also responsible for managing the security of computer information systems to prevent sensitive data from being leaked or maliciously used."

"The job of the security detail is to ensure the safety of TPC's senior leadership and key facilities."

"Finally, there is the handling of traffic accidents and the maintenance of traffic order, especially in the area surrounding the TPC facility."

"The above is our police department's routine work. Next, we will discuss our functions in crisis response and investigation."

"For example, we should carry out the control of dangerous materials, especially special substances that may be used to manufacture weapons."

"For example, we will implement special operations supervision to ensure that TPC-related scientific research activities comply with safety regulations."

As Gu Chen listened to Tetsuji Yoshioka explain the functions of the TPC Police Department, he pondered to himself.

At first glance, the TPC Police Department seems to have a very high level of authority, making it a department with considerable power. However, after putting himself in the shoes of Yoshioka Tetsuji, Gu Chen, drawing on his years of experience as the highest-ranking officer of the Earth Defense Force, concluded that the TPC Police Department's power was not as great as it appeared.

First of all, the TPC Police Department does not have independent law enforcement power. It needs to take action in accordance with the laws and regulations of various countries and is subject to high supervision from various countries.

This is unlike the Earth Defense Force under Gu Chen's command. They have independent law enforcement authority. As long as they are within the Earth Defense Force's jurisdiction, they have the right to arrest any troublemakers who harass or resist them during their investigations.

Secondly, the Earth is currently in a period of peace. Without the outbreak of large-scale conflicts, the TPC police department is basically idle. Even if there are daily tasks to be done, the required manpower and resources are certainly not as much as one might imagine.

Therefore, although the TPC Police Department's division of functions seems impressive and can manage a little bit of everything, it inevitably becomes constrained in actual operation.

Tetsuji Yoshioka might want to change this situation, but due to the current international circumstances, all his ideas were blocked by Soichiro Sawai.

However, this was enough to broaden Gu Chen's horizons and give him a good understanding of the TPC police department, which was not mentioned much in the original plot.

Moreover, as time went on, the outbreak of monster disasters and the invasion of aliens would inevitably lead to the expansion of the TPC Police Department's functions. By the time of Dyna, the TPC Police Department had developed into a military agency with full combat capabilities.

……

After learning more about the TPC Police Department, Sawai Soichiro took Gu Chen to the TPC Scientific Research Bureau, where they met the current director, Kashiwamura Reiko.

Sawai Soichiro introduced Gu Chen without hesitation: "Advisor, this is Ms. Kashiwamura Reiko, the director of the TPC Scientific Research Bureau. She was formerly a professor at Metropolitan University of Technology and is the inventor of the WING system, an efficient jet engine system. She is an internationally renowned top scientist."

Reiko Kashiwamura extended her hand and said in her slightly hoarse voice, "Nice to meet you, please take care of me."

Gu Chen extended his hand and shook hands with Reiko Kashiwamura in a friendly manner, saying, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Kashiwamura. I am Gu Chen, and I will be serving as a special advisor to the GUTS team from now on."

Seeing that the two sides had a basic understanding, Sawai Soichiro said as usual, "Director Kashiwamura, please explain our TPC Scientific Research Bureau to our advisors."

“Yes, Director.” Reiko Kashiwamura nodded in agreement immediately, then looked at Gu Chen and said, “Mr. Gu Chen, please come with me.”

"At present, the main work of the Research Bureau is still focused on the development of power energy technology. Although the successful development of the WING system has given our TPC a high-speed aircraft that can fly within the atmosphere, there are still many shortcomings when looking at the universe."

"Secondly, we will also work with the Space Technology Development Agency and some private companies to develop a giant interplanetary network system for the purpose of investigating the navigation status of spacecraft."

"There are also projects for artificial sun experiments and research and development of space exploration equipment. At the space level, there are also defense satellite systems projects to deal with possible alien invaders."

"In addition, research and application of new energy sources and research in biological sciences have never stopped. If Mr. Gu Chen is interested, I can introduce them in detail later."
