"When will the teleportation begin?" The head of control asked again.

"Now." The tall executive replied.

The control hall immediately began to get busy.

At this moment, Sun Hui didn't know what happened in his original time and space, and now he is enjoying a rare vacation because of his unprecedented combat exploits and waiting for a new tank.

may have wanted to give Sun Hui and Ye Chuchu the opportunity to create a "two-person world", seeing Sun Hui and Ye Chuchu chatting, Xiao Tiantian, Wang Linlin and Du Lili all smiled and walked away, leaving the two of them in the barracks.

But what they didn't expect was that Sun Hui and Ye Chuchu didn't fall in love this time.

Maybe he was a little unwilling to be destroyed by the "Gate of Time and Space", when Ye Chuchu was fine, he would always talk about it with Sun Hui intentionally or unintentionally.

"I didn't expect that the tomb robber named Wu Xinggu was lucky to cross successfully." Ye Chuchu remembered the scene of that day and said with some emotion.

"It doesn't have to be a success." Sun Hui said with a smile, "You have also seen that when the 'Gate of Time and Space' went out of control, the mirror man and the lama's body melted as soon as they entered, proving that such a crossing is likely to bear a huge energy impact, and they can't resist it, not to mention Wu Xinggu's magic stick, his fat flesh, can't wait for the beasts of the Colosseum to enjoy, and may be wiped out halfway." ”

"Hahahaha! If you don't let the beasts eat it, you will also be slaughtered by the gladiators, right? Ye Chuchu said with a smile.

"Hehe, if he understood the language of ancient Rome and communicated well with the gladiators, maybe the gladiators would not kill him, you must know that the gladiators of ancient Rome were high-paid 'professionals' with high standards of training, and they were star athletes in the eyes of people at that time. Moreover, the gladiatorial fights in the arena are not 'desperate to kill each other' as people have always believed, but simply to entertain the public by showing off their respective combat skills. Sun Hui said with a smile, "If he suddenly appears and pretends to be a god, maybe the gladiators can really believe it." ”

"Were there Chinese among the gladiators of ancient Rome?" Ye Chuchu asked.

"Although there is no written record in the historical records, a large number of Roman gladiators came from all the major peoples of the East, and there may be Chinese among them. There is historical evidence that the Romans reached China during the Three Kingdoms period through the Silk Road, so it is also possible that the Chinese came to Rome along the Silk Road. ”

"You just said they're the same as star athletes?" Ye Chuchu was puzzled by the explanation of the ancient Roman gladiators that Sun Hui had just given her, and asked.

"Yes. Although Roman historians considered gladiators to be a symbol of barbarism, gladiators remained godlike in the hearts of the common people. In Rome and many cities, portraits of gladiators were used as decoration for many public occasions; The children also played the role of gladiators, fighting and playing with pottery weapons; Even the most successful gladiator stars, like today's star athletes, endorse the product. In addition, they are known for their ability to enchant women. In the frescoes of Pompeii, a gladiator is depicted surrounded by a bunch of girls. Many women like to wear hairpins or other jewelry soaked in the blood of gladiators, and some even use gladiator sweat as a magic potion to increase their attractiveness, and mix it into cosmetics such as creams. ”

Hearing Sun Hui's suggestive words at the end, Ye Chuchu's face turned red.

"That gladiator didn't always fight to the death?" She asked again.

"Yes, gladiatorial fights are often portrayed in Hollywood movies and television as bloody melee scenes, but in fact most fights are played under strict rules. A gladiatorial fight is usually a separate fight between two men of comparable size and strength. The referee supervises the game and calls a time-out when a side is seriously injured. If the two sides are deadlocked, the game is boring and long, and it causes a commotion in the crowd, and the game can be ended as a result. In some cases, if the two sides of a gladiatorial fight present a spectacular match to the spectators, both parties can leave the arena with pride. "Investors in ancient times were not fools, because gladiators needed to invest a lot of money in containment, training, and training, so investors didn't want a senseless death. Gladiators were taught the art of 'wounding' their opponents, not the art of 'killing'. Gladiators would follow this rule and try to avoid seriously injuring their opponents. Of course, the life of a gladiator is full of violence, and accidents are inevitable. Many of them only lived to be about twenty-five years old, and historians estimate that one in ten or even one in five events resulted in the direct death of a gladiator. ”

"In that case, it's still unfortunate!" Ye Chuchu sighed.

Despite this, however, many people volunteered to participate in gladiatorial competitions, because not all gladiators who walked into the arena in chains were slaves. Early gladiators came from prisoners of war and convicts. From the first century onwards, the composition of the contestants began to change. Attracted by the excitement of the competition and the cheers of the spectators, and in order to gain fame and fortune, free citizens began to voluntarily join the ranks of gladiatorial competitions. These liberal warriors are usually extremists or super-skilled veterans. At the same time, some high-ranking nobles, knights, and even senators wanted to show their heroism in this way. Despite all the dangers, in ancient Rome, gladiatorial tournaments were an easy way for emperors to win the hearts and minds of the people, and even directly participated in the games. Figures like Caligula, Titus, and Hadrian have all performed in the arena - though for the most part they have fought in a very safe area with very rough swords. Commodus was a skilled spear thrower, often slaughtering bears and panthers from a safe, raised platform to the cheers of the audience. He also fought several gladiatorial fights, but usually against inexperienced gladiators. Even so, Commodus was embarrassed to reward himself with a large amount of bonuses. ”

Listening to Sun Hui's last sentence ridiculing Emperor Commodus of ancient Rome, Ye Chuchu laughed.

Sun Hui continued: "By the time the Colosseum opened in 80 AD, the gladiator game had changed from a freewheeling fight to the death to a well-organized and bloody competitive sport. Gladiators will be categorized according to their combat record, skill level, experience, etc., with fighting style and weaponry being the two most common ways to classify them. Sword fighters and shield fighters are two of the most outstanding types. In addition, there are mounted fighters who enter the arena on horseback, chariot fighters who fight on chariots, and dual-sword fighters who use two swords at the same time, you know the famous Spartacus, right? He's a two-sword fighter. ”
