Chapter 6: Ishikawa Country
"The home planet of the Xuan Clan, Erimida, means the Sacred Continent. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"The territory of Erimeta is made up of four continents, namely Akuya, which means the territory of the Emperor; Carola, which means the land of glory; Milore, which means the gift of nature; Mosa, which means cold winter. ”
“…… I don't think I can remember. ”
Hearing these names that resemble English words, I indicate that my memory can't keep up.
"There's nothing I can do about it, after all, I can't directly transmit the Xuan language to you. Different languages have different grammars and word formations, as well as different meanings. It's unrealistic to feed so much information directly into your brain. ”
"It turns out that your technology is not omnipotent."
After listening to his explanation, it dawned on me that this technique also has limitations.
But I suddenly felt a little lost when I thought about this, how good it would be if I could learn foreign languages directly by relying on the brain domain transmission of this artificial intelligence, and let it directly pass me a set of English, Russian, Italian, French, Japanese, and Spanish to me, so that I could directly turn over and become a foreign language master, wouldn't it be beautiful?
But it's destined to be a fantasy, and even if I wanted to, the other party wouldn't agree.
"But for the sake of your understanding, I will refer to these continents in the language of your earth."
"Earthling?"
I just thought it was weird to hear it say "Earth Language". What language is Earthling? Chinese or English?
"Aikua, call it 'Imperial State', Kairola call it 'Yuzhou', Milor, call it 'Muzhou', and Mosha call it 'Ice State.'"
Eric Feng directly named the continents of the Xuan family's home planet with "state", which gave me the illusion that there were only four states on one planet, but my ancestors divided a piece of land that did not even have a tenth of the continent's area into Kyushu thousands of years ago.
"Dizhou, located in the eastern part of the four continents, is a land with a pleasant climate and a beautiful environment."
"In the southern part of the Imperial State, it is a barren land full of mountains and rocks."
The image in front of me changed, and I was floating in mid-air, looking down at the ground from a high vantage point.
The terrain here is uneven, a savage land made up entirely of rolling hills and mountains, and it is difficult to imagine a large population gathering here, because building a city in the mountains is far more difficult than on the plains.
But someone did.
"The ancestors of the Xuan people built their own homes in this mountain forest and settled here for the next thousand years."
The picture before me changed again, one moment I could only see a pitiful number of wooden huts and straw huts in the dense mountain forest, and some ragged farmers and hunters who could not eat enough, but the next moment the scene before me changed, and a completely different picture unfolded before my eyes.
I saw a city, yes, a real city! A huge city built entirely on high mountains, cliffs, and rubble!
"It's a miracle to be able to build a city like this in the mountains." I couldn't help but sigh.
"Our ancestors have always been proud of their construction skills, and this level of engineering is enough for ten years."
"Huh? Is it that exaggerated? ”
Looking at the walls that spiral through the mountains and forests, and the city that miraculously stands on the mountains, I can't believe that it only takes ten years to build the city.
What the? How easy is it to build a city in ten years?
What are you kidding? Do you think this is the era of pile drivers, excavators and reinforced concrete? At this time, it is obvious that the civilization on this planet has just completed the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age, and everything can only be done by hand and manpower, and it is as difficult to build a city on the surface of this completely natural hazard as climbing to the sky.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the city is a marvel in the history of ancient architecture.
"In the following history, I will use the 'first yuan' to measure time, and the concept of 'first yuan' is similar to the concept of 'AD' of your human beings, which is a method of chronology."
Eric Wind has completely turned on the "Alien History Teacher" mode at this time, and has popularized science for me, a history idiot.
"First of all, eight hundred years before the First Dynasty, the Xuan people established a miraculous city on the cliffs in the southern part of the imperial state, Ishikawa Castle."
"Immediately after that, the Xuan people expanded around the city of Ishikawa Castle and continued to expand into the surrounding areas, eventually becoming a country with a large amount of territory."
“…… Why do I have the feeling of listening to the history of the founding of the Roman Empire? ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but complain.
"Expansion conquers in much the same way, and it's no surprise that it's the only way for a country to rise. In fact, your Chinese nation has also gone through this period of history, and you have continued to expand and conquer, even if you have always claimed to be the most peace-loving and do not like to fight, but will you really believe it? How do you think your country's 9.6 million square kilometers of land came from? Buy a lottery ticket or send it with phone bills? ”
"Forehead ......"
In response to my complaints, the artificial intelligence Eric style actually directly cited examples to educate me, which made me feel a little weird.
This artificial intelligence is a little too rebellious, isn't it......
"To get back to the point, the Xuan clan took Ishikawa Castle as its foundation, expanded to the surrounding areas, and built a powerful country, Ishikawa Province."
"Four hundred years before the beginning of the First Dynasty, the territory of Ishikawa Province exceeded 700,000 liga, that is, 100,000 square kilometers. By this time, Ishikawa Province had grown to become the largest power in the southern part of the Imperial Prefecture. ”
"But at that time, the pattern of the entire continent had been decided, and almost all the land on the continent had been divided up by various countries, and at this time, if the Ishikawa country wanted to continue to expand, it was necessary to launch wars, but unfortunately, the Ishikawa people did not have the national strength to support the perennial war, not to mention that most of the territory of the Ishikawa country was treacherous, and the population was extremely scarce, and the entire country had no excess population to send to the battlefield."
"As a result, from 400 years ago to the beginning of the first century, the pace of Ishikawa Province's foreign expansion stopped, and the whole country was in a state of complete recuperation."
The scene before my eyes changed as Eric Wind spoke, and as I spoke of the expansion of Ishikawa Province, well-armed ancient legions appeared before my eyes, fighting everywhere, annexing the surrounding small nations, and acquiring countless lands for the country.
Then the territory of Ishikawa Province reached an unprecedented peak.
But soon, the brave and warlike army in the picture suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by new cities rising from the ground and steel defenses connecting countless mountains and forests.
Ishikawa Province, a nation that rose to prominence through conquest, realized that it was no longer able to continue its expansion, and had to go on the defensive, using their alien technology-like building abilities to enclose their territory in the Ring of Steel they had forged.
