Chapter 684: The Request of Constans II
Then, a beam of light suddenly shone out from the strange-looking machine, directly onto the screen in front of it.
The next moment, a row of Chinese character subtitles appeared on the screen.
Which Eastern Romans, although they don't understand what it means, always feel very powerful.
Next, the screen turns, and the picture appears directly in the sky.
Suddenly, countless mountains and rivers appeared below.
"Oh my!"
"Oh God!"
"Oh, Quack!"
"Oh my God! Oh my! ”
Among the audience in Eastern Rome, there was a sudden exclamation.
Even, many people jumped in shock.
At this time, they suddenly remembered that they had heard the news during the day.
This screen is called a movie, and in this screen, it can be loaded into mountains and rivers, and it can be loaded into thousands of troops.
When they first heard the news, everyone was in disbelief.
But now, they finally know that all this is true.
This small curtain can really fit down the mountains and rivers.
"Oh my God, it's amazing! This must be God's handiwork, right? ”
"Yes, it must be, it's certainly not something that humans can do!"
"You say, can we go into that mountain and river?"
"This, who knows?"
The Eastern Romans were talking about it, and they thought it was God's handiwork.
Otherwise, how could people put all the mountains and rivers into that small curtain?
Of course, at this time, they had some doubts in their hearts.
Because, what is the God they have entrusted?
But I heard that these Chinese people don't believe in God.
I heard that they believe in the Jade Emperor?
What mountains and rivers did not know what their God had put them into?
Or is it put in by the Jade Emperor that people believe in?
If it is really the Jade Emperor that those Chinese people believe in it, does it mean that the Jade Emperor that people believe in is a little more powerful than the God they believe in?
Otherwise, how could they not see the God they believed in to do the same?
Next, as soon as the picture turns, it appears in the city.
This film was shot in Yizhou New Town in Datang.
If you only turn movies, there is no doubt that the movie shooting here in Huaxia City is far inferior to Datang.
After all, Datang has the whole society as a background.
The cultural development of the Tang Dynasty actually began very early, of course, all of this was carried out under the guidance of Li Su, the king of Shu at that time.
Datang's film and television industry has a deep cultural soil.
Huaxia City, on the other hand, does not have all these conditions at present.
After all, the development time of Huaxia City is too short, and the cultural heritage is also seriously insufficient.
However, in the past two years, Huaxia City's film and television industry has also developed rapidly.
What is particularly gratifying is that among the aborigines, a group of talents have also emerged.
They used aborigines as the theme to shoot several movies that received good responses, and even won the Datang Dynasty, which was also popular in Datang for a period of time and achieved good results.
Of course, when performing in Datang, it was dubbed.
Otherwise, the people of Datang would definitely not understand the language of the aborigines.
But on the whole, the film and television industry in Huaxia City is far inferior to Datang.
Therefore, the few movies that Li Su is going to play this time are all films shot by Datang.
Of course, in the later stage, it will definitely focus on promoting Huaxia City.
Because, after all, Li Su wants a large number of immigrants to come to the Golden State.
And the first step, what Li Su wants to do, is naturally cultural invasion.
If you want these people to question and rebel, first of all, you must make them feel strongly dissatisfied with their situation.
And now, many people, don't realize this.
It is also the imprisonment of the mind, the persecution of them.
Let them feel that all this is a gift from God and a will of God.
So that they don't complain about their situation, they don't feel dissatisfied.
……
Next, the camera shifted to Yizhou New Town.
Seeing the buildings of Yizhou New Town, which Eastern Romans, there was a strong sense of shock in my heart again.
Really, the city in the movie is so beautiful.
It's so beautiful that it gives them a sense of unreality.
Let them think that these places are probably only possible in heaven, right?
How can there be such a beautiful place in the world?
Moreover, everything in this city fills them with strangeness and curiosity.
"Oh my God! Look, look, how can there be such a tall building? ”
"Look at the running on the ground? What kind of car is that? How can you run on your own? ”
"Don't make a fuss, how can there be a car that can run on its own? Carriage for sure! ”
"Where have you seen the horses? Isn't it running by yourself! ”
"Humph! The horse must have been hidden in the car, how could it run on its own? ”
But soon, the camera shifted to the inside of the bus.
Their eyes widened and they didn't see a horse in the bus.
Oh my! Is this car really running by itself?
"This, how is this possible? How could this car run on its own? ”
"I'm afraid this is God's handiwork! Only God can do that! ”
"yes, it's really amazing, I can assure you, it must be the power of God!"
"But, however, where are people who do not believe in God! How could God have gone to someone else's land to manifest his spirits! ”
Hearing this, the Eastern Romans fell silent again.
Yes, how could God have gone to someone else's land to manifest himself?
Could it be that there really is a more powerful god in this world than God?
The beginning of the plot was filmed in Yizhou New Town.
After a while, the time came for night.
The whole city has become a city that never sleeps.
There are dotted lights everywhere and flickering neon lights can be seen everywhere.
The visual impact of all this on these Eastern Romans is really too great.
The lights they had seen just now when the movie was showing.
But they never imagined what it would be like if a city was all lit up.
This scene is so beautiful and spectacular!
Such a city that never sleeps made their hearts suddenly agitated.
And then, the screen turns, and the scene in the countryside begins to be filmed.
Where the people need to do only some simple work.
Or, with only a small amount of labor, you can earn a lot of income and rewards.
Seeing that the land they planted was able to harvest so much food.
They finally realized why some of the big people from Huaxia City would sell so much grain to them.
It turns out that people's yield per mu will be so high.
Where people can grow rice, they can grow two or even three crops a year.
Where are the machines of others, they will actually run by themselves.
Hundreds of acres of land can be easily cultivated in one day.
Where do people live, it's simply paradise!
Compare yourself again, they are tired and tired every day, and they can't eat enough and don't have enough clothes.
This contrast, a strong dissatisfaction, arises spontaneously.
How good would it be if we could live in the world of movies?
In fact, the dialogue in this movie is in Chinese.
There are a very small number of Eastern Romans, who have strong language skills, and through this period of study, they have learned a lot of Chinese.
can even guess, and can barely understand the dialogue in the movie.
But the vast majority of Eastern Romans, they don't understand what the movie is talking about.
But that doesn't stop them from enjoying watching the movie.
I want to see how people live in the far West.
Well, in fact, Datang is in their east, which is really a wrong perception.
Soon, the first movie was played.
They are also immersed in the film and can't help themselves.
However, what makes them psychologically balanced is that there are actually poor people in the film.
Even those who are poor, life is still much better than theirs.
But it is enough to prove that there is no paradise, and even if they go to that kind of place, it is possible that they will still live at the bottom.
Next, the second film begins.
As soon as this film came up, it still used the same shots as the first one.
However, because of the shock of the first part, at this time, they will no longer be so surprised.
This time, it seems to be contrasting two continents.
There's also a much bigger continent.
And then, the poor people in the previous film, for some reason, left their hometown.
Take a boat to another continent.
This continent seems to be very barren, and it is not at all like in the first film, so prosperous.
Soon, a few poor people were arranged in a large village.
This village is really good.
The whole village is full of houses of the same style.
The arrangement is neat, and the roads in the village extend in all directions.
The streets are clean and clean, there are garbage cans for garbage, and there are special people to clean them.
Moreover, they soon found that the land here was much more flat.
The harvest here is higher.
Jobs here also pay more.
The lives of the people here are actually happier than the people in the first movie.
Of course, there are fly in the ointment.
That's it, the city in the first film is too beautiful and prosperous.
In the second film, although life is better, the whole environment is actually not very good.
In contrast, their lives are a little worse.
But here, they have a bustling city.
And, there is Constantinople, which they are proud of.
And then, they began to enter the city.
When they arrived at the city gate, someone suddenly pointed to the three words on a sign to enter the city and shouted loudly.
"Huaxia City!"
The people who shouted were actually Eastern Romans.
Of course, not that they have learned to recognize Chinese characters.
Kanji isn't that easy to learn.
But these people are all people who often come into contact with the managers of Huaxia City.
They can often see the words Huaxia City on various documents or some icons.
Therefore, at this time, they quickly recognized these three words.
And these three words also spread rapidly among the Eastern Romans.
"Look, this city is Huaxia City."
"Is this where they came from?"
"This Huaxia City is so advanced, but I want to see how prosperous this Huaxia City is."
"I don't know, how is it better than our Constantinople?"
"Probably inferior to Constantinople, right? After all, this is our capital. ”
In fact, the vast majority of these people have never been to Constantinople.
However, this does not prevent the feeling of national pride in their hearts.
But their hearts are also full of curiosity.
In this concession, people from Huaxia City are in control of everything.
Their good days are also given by these people from Huaxia City.
So far, the city lords of Huaxia City have heard that they are still guests in Constantinople.
They want to see what this Huaxia City looks like.
Soon, a few people entered the city.
And then, Huaxia City couldn't help but refresh the cognition of these Eastern Romans again.
Originally, they thought that the city they saw in the first movie was already the most luxurious city in the world.
But now after seeing Huaxia City, they know what it means to have people outside the people, and there is a city outside the city.
The buildings in Huaxia City are taller, more majestic, and more spectacular than those in the first city.
The layout of the whole city is even more beautiful.
The streets of the city are even wider.
Originally, they had great confidence that their capital, Constantinople, would be better than Huaxia City.
But now, their confidence is grossly lacking.
It turns out that this is Huaxia City!
It turns out that Huaxia City is so prosperous.
No wonder, the manager of Huaxia City is so rich!
And then, the camera turned again and came to the construction site.
It turned out that these people went to the city to look for work on the construction site.
The camera on the construction site shows a high-rise building under construction.
On the camera, there are excavators, loaders and other machines, which are in operation.
Such a huge machine made them couldn't help but marvel again.
It turns out that people dig the ground, and that's how they dig ducks.
When a shovel goes down, it's a large piece of land.
Then he stretched out his long steel arm and loaded the soil directly into the car.
This speed is really too fast.
The screen then appears on the building under construction.
This building is more than a dozen stories high.
Layers of scaffolding were erected, and the workers on it, everyone wearing a hard hat.
The bricks, steel bars, and cement are all lifted by a machine, and there is no need for manpower to resist at all.
The speed of construction is too fast.
The people of the Eastern Roman Empire who looked at it were secretly speechless.
If such a building is allowed to be built, I am afraid it will not take several years to build.
But depending on the people, it will take a few months at most to complete one.
Moreover, people don't need much manpower.
Which machine, I really don't know how many times faster than human.
In this movie, many scenes I saw and the impact on them were subversive.
Until the end of the movie, they still can't come back to their senses for a long time.
After watching the two movies, it simply subverted their entire outlook on life.
And what they are most curious about is naturally those cars that can run, and what machines can move by themselves.
After questioning, they learned that it was not a miracle, but science.
It's like a horse-drawn carriage that can run, and it turns out that there are the same things to pull which carts.
And the thing that pulls those cars to run, I heard that it is called an engine.
The principle is so complex that they don't understand it.
But what they know is that which machines are not made by divine power, but by artificiality.
……
The content of these two films spread quickly through word of mouth.
And the speed at which these stories spread is just too fast.
In just one month's effort, almost everyone in the entire Eastern Roman Empire knew about it.
It's just that the vast majority of people in the Eastern Roman Empire haven't watched much of a movie.
They are skeptical and unbelievable about the content of the movie.
Among them, there are even Constans II and Princess Anna and others.
Constans II politely invited Li Su, hoping to watch these two films.
Even, there is some dissatisfaction with Li Su for not showing him these two movies for the first time.
And Li Su smiled silently.
If I show you these two movies first, it is unknown whether these two films can be broadcast in the Eastern Roman Empire.
And now, the entire Eastern Roman Empire knows that Constans II naturally has no way to cover up the impact of these two films.
And then, these two films are not just shown to Constans II and which royal children and nobles to watch.
Throughout Eastern Rome, it was constantly touring.
And everywhere you go, you can create a huge impulse.
It turns out that all the information that was disseminated before is true.
Even, the feeling of watching a movie and experiencing it in person is more shocking to them than listening to those news.
After all, language sometimes pales.
The footage I saw with my own eyes was stronger than the impact of words, I don't know how many times.
And the biggest hit is actually Constans II, as well as Princess Anna.
After watching these two films, both Constans II and Princess Anna fell into a long period of contemplation.
All along, Constans II regarded the Arab Empire as their greatest enemy.
And Huaxia City, because of its weak size, is regarded by him as a natural ally.
But now, he suddenly realized that in fact, Huaxia City is really powerful.
Seeing the scenes on those construction sites today, what ordinary people can think of is that with these machines, the speed of building buildings is too fast.
And what Constans II thought was, what would happen if these machines were put on the battlefield?
No matter what kind of heavy armor or cavalry you are facing, aren't they all scum in front of these machines?
If they had the technology of Huaxia City, if they could build so many advanced machines, would the Arab Empire still be their opponent?
Not to mention an Arab empire, even if it is to conquer the world, it is not a difficult problem.
Oh, except for Huaxia City.
Therefore, now what Constans II is thinking about is how to take these technologies into his own hands.
And Princess Anna's thoughts are naturally different from those of Constans II.
What knowledge she explained to Li Su before was actually very contradictory.
On the one hand, I feel that what Li Su explained was right.
But on the other hand, she felt that the knowledge explained by Li Su was in conflict with her long-standing beliefs.
This made her feel at a loss from the bottom of her heart.
Recently, she has even deliberately avoided Li Su.
And she was afraid that Li Su would find out about this.
Because deep down, she respects her teacher very much.
Fortunately, Li Su didn't find out about this, because he was very busy, where did he have time to notice such a small thing?
This made Anna quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, of course, she also had a feeling of disappointment.
It turned out that in the teacher's heart, her status was actually insignificant, and the teacher didn't take her to heart at all.
At this time, Anna quietly made a decision, that is, she was determined to go to Huaxia City to have a look.
She wants to learn the knowledge of Huaxia City.
She wants to find out the truth of the matter thoroughly.
Even Li Su himself never expected that the two movies would have such a big impact on the entire Eastern Rome.
He also thought that it would take at least dozens of movies to do so.
Unexpectedly, two movies have already completed this impact.
Of course, the movie will continue to be broadcast in the future.
Since we want to engage in cultural invasion, we must continue to carry it out to the end.
This is just the beginning, and this is where it goes.
And in the following time, Constans II took the initiative to find Li Su and made his request to him.
It turned out that Constans II wanted to send a group of nobles to study in Huaxia City.
And he hoped that the people of Huaxia City would be able to set up students in Eastern Rome to impart knowledge.
Hearing the words of Constans II, Li Su's face showed embarrassment, but his heart was happy.
In fact, what Constans II asked for was what Li Su wanted to do the most.
Li Su was a little unconvinced that this matter could be solved so easily.
Because now the only one who can spread knowledge is the church.
If he wanted to spread knowledge in Eastern Rome, he had to go through the church first.
Although in Europe today, it can be said that Eastern Rome is the weakest country in terms of ecclesiastical power.
In other countries, the power of the Church has surpassed the imperial power.
In Eastern Rome, the power of the church was still under the control of their king.
However, the strength of the church is still very strong.
It's not easy to get around the church.
But what Li Su didn't expect was that Constans II actually took the initiative to bring up this matter.
That's great!
Of course, Li Su couldn't have been so obvious.
Otherwise, it would make Constans II suspicious.
At this time, Constans II, seeing Li's embarrassed expression, hung a heart.
