Chapter 29: The Destruction of the Empire
No matter what the cost!
For some reason, while hearing this, the heating was turned on in Rao is room, and the chief scholar still felt a sudden chill in his hands and feet.
"What are you going to do?" Opening his mouth, he asked.
"Craft a powerful superweapon and blast the boundaries open!" The emperor waved his hand and said, "In my early years, I established a weapons research institute in Xizhou, as well as a supporting military factory.
The guns and artillery produced were more sophisticated than those of the old armies.
I plan to upgrade it to the Xizhou Special Research Institute, mobilize a group of top scientists to develop super weapons, and blast out a new world, you ...... What do you think? ”
"This ......"
Hearing these words, the chief scholar Rao Shi had already vaguely guessed, and his heart was still shaken.
Blasting open the borders of the world!
What a crazy idea? You must know that in the Chi Kingdom period, since the discovery of the "border", the emperors of all dynasties, although they have not stopped exploring, no one has ever made such a decision.
Some people may have thought about it in their hearts, but they didn't really order it to be implemented after all.
After all, this must be a costly and horrific project, and it is likely to fail, and there have always been rumors among the people that beyond the borders are the abode of the gods.
No emperor dared to brave the world's condemnation and invade the divine domain.
But the emperor of the new dynasty dared!
As for whether you want to accept it...... Whether as a top scientist or as an emperor's "favorite", he seemed to have no reason to refuse.
“…… Yes, sir. ”
……
……
"Bang!!"
Leaving the mountain martial arts hall, in the study.
As Lin Tuo clicked the mouse, the last gunshot echoed in the headphones.
On the screen, the last enemy simply falls neatly to the edge of the poison ring.
"Phew, is it possible that the improvement of physical fitness is also helpful for playing games?" Lin Tuo leaned back in the chair, slowly took off the headphones, and muttered in his heart.
After work, he rarely plays games, and he can play one or two games a month.
Marksmanship has also dropped dramatically.
Unexpectedly, it was easy to win three games in a row.
Although there are also reasons for the low segmentation of his account and the Fishpond Bureau......
"Well, it should be the ether that tempers the body, improves the speed of nerve reactions, and my attention is more concentrated than before."
I got up, took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator in the next room, and just as I was about to open it, the alarm clock set by my phone went off again.
"It's time to gather the aether again."
Lin Tuo's spirit was shocked, he trotted back to the sand table, looked down, and found that on the sand table continent, the scale of the city has expanded, and the architectural style of the houses has also improved.
Many areas have changed.
The most obvious ones are the countless electric lights at night, as well as the public trams in the city, and the streets, in addition to bicycles, have also begun to appear with a few cars.
It's just that it's still bulky and scarce, and it seems to be in the early stages of development.
"It's growing fast......"
Lin Tuo sighed, then used the "Qi Eating Method" again, inhaled a wave hard, and then turned his head to eat a simple lunch with satisfaction.
Then I immersed myself in the game again.
……
……
Within the Sandbox Empire.
In the blink of an eye, it has been ten years since the establishment of the new dynasty.
Compared to Kyoto, which is changing with each passing day, there are many industrial cities.
Far away in the Great Western Continent, the Xizhou Special Research Institute, hidden among the mountains, does not seem to have changed much.
From a distance, there are just a few more buildings, and the interior has updated a lot of equipment.
But the whole area is still desolate and rarely inhabited.
Especially at night, it is even colder, with only wolf howling as a companion.
It is only from the accounts of the Kyoto treasury that the inflow of a terrifying amount of cash can draw attention to this place.
"We are a group of pioneers who have a mission to endure bitter cold and loneliness."
For a decade, the Chief Scientist has been inspiring others with such words.
And under the emperor's extravagant investment, as well as the dividends of the times, the research work of superweapons has also gone smoothly and surprisingly.
One level after another is broken, and superweapons are also taken from the idea in mind, the sketch on the drawing...... Eventually, it evolved into a real entity.
And several, small-scale detonation experiments were carried out.
This once excited the chief scientist, however, as the level of research progressed, and with the deepening of the detection and understanding of the "boundary", he began to waver.
Begin to wonder, can the "boundary" really be broken?
Thereupon.
When His Majesty the Emperor visited the area again in late autumn, he finally mustered up the courage to express his apprehensions.
"So, you want to tell me that the research failed?"
Research Institute, in a room.
The emperor, who was ten years older, asked with a cold look in his eyes.
Ten years have passed, probably because of worrying about state affairs, the middle-aged people who were high-spirited at the beginning have already shown their old state, their beard is faintly gray, but their majesty is increasing day by day.
This is especially true for officials in Kyoto.
When the country stabilized, the emperor began to extend his hand to the whole society, with a high degree of centralization, an iron-fisted ruling style, tightening public opinion, and gradually deepening his control over the country.
In the first few years, at least I could listen to the opinions of my courtiers, but recently, I have been even more arbitrary, and the atmosphere in the whole court has become more and more tense.
"No, Your Majesty, the research is going well, but the border is far stronger than we originally imagined, so that the shock wave we originally conceived with a super warhead may be difficult to shake."
The chief scholar's body trembled, and he hurriedly explained.
"Unshakable?" Repeating the word, the emperor's eyes were gloomy, and he said in a stern tone, "In this world, there is nothing that cannot be destroyed.
If there is, it can only mean that the power of the weapon is not great enough, and the determination to destroy it is not strong enough. ”
"Yes...... I have not the slightest doubt about your determination, as for the power of the weapon...... You can't go on without limits. The power of a single warhead is the ...... that exists in the ceiling"
"One is not enough, then add a few more!" The emperor's gaze was firm, "If one can't explode, then make a thousand, ten thousand!" The funds are not enough, I will raise them from the empire for you. ”
"It's not a matter of funding," the chief scientist said with a wry smile...... "We've also thought about this plan, and theoretically, it can indeed increase the destructive power by stacking."
However, once the power of the explosion breaks through a certain value.
It will have a serious impact on the ecology of the entire continent...... Even more severely, it could lead to the destruction of the world. ”
"Destruction?" Chewing on this word, the old emperor's expression was suddenly very strange, and his eyes were hooked, as if some kind of madness was brewing.
But his tone was unusually calm: "After this year, I will be sixty years old." ”
"Huh?" The chief scholar was a little dazed.
"Some time ago, the imperial doctor told me that I had a tumor in my brain, and with the current medical technology, it is very risky to have surgery, so I can't live long."
"Your Majesty...... You don't have to be ......"
As soon as the chief scholar spoke, he was stopped by the other party raising his hand:
"I spent the first half of my life fighting horses and being an emperor for ten years, and I should be satisfied if I want to, but I am not reconciled, I just want to see with my own eyes what it looks like outside the border before I die."
After a pause, he continued:
"Do you remember what I said ten years ago, that winter, when I first talked to you about this experiment? I say, I'm going to conquer it, whatever the cost. ”
"This ......"
"Okay, you go out first, help me call all the core leaders of this project, I want to have a meeting." The emperor suddenly changed his words and said.
"Ah...... Be. ”
The chief scholar walked out of the door in a daze, although he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he did not dare to disobey.
Soon, he returned with more than a dozen core leaders of the project.
Because of the top secrets of the project, most of the researchers below are unaware of the details of the plan, only these people know.
"Your Majesty? All of them are together. When the group entered the conference room, the chief scholar saw the old emperor sitting in the main seat of the room with his back to the people.
Hearing this, he slowly turned around.
In his right hand, at some point, a square and simple, shining seal appeared.
"Secret Seal?! Your Majesty......"
The chief scholar's face changed suddenly, and he finally guessed something.
Immediately, I saw the old emperor activate the secret seal, unfold the power of hypnosis, and smile to everyone:
"Now, let's destroy the world together."
……
……
"Gollum ......"
Leaving the mountain martial arts hall.
When Lin Tuo finished the last game satisfied, a wave of hunger came from his stomach.
I couldn't help it, so I dealt with a snack at noon and didn't eat it seriously.
"It's all this time." Looking at the time, it was already close to evening, and Lin Tuo was startled.
Entertainment really kills time, and I don't feel anything, it's almost night.
Exiting the game and closing the computer, Lin Tuo looked at the sand table again, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
I saw that at this moment, it seemed that airplanes had begun to appear in the sand table.
Of course, it can only fly at low altitudes.
"Faster than I thought." A little amazement, Lin Tuo shook his head, and switched the derivation sand table to the "observation mode".
The light and shadow change, and in the blink of an eye, Yangcheng replaced the "new dynasty" and stood in front of you.
"I've been busy for so long, let's have a good meal tonight, what to eat...... Well, that's it. Lin Tuo overlooked Yangcheng and his eyes fell on a hot pot restaurant he had been to before.
Although it is a little strange to eat hot pot alone, there is no way to do it.
Poke your finger into the secluded place of the sandbox, release the clone, and then pose the body in the chair to switch to realize the clone...... He is already very familiar with this whole set of operations.
Compared to taking a car or two down the mountain for an hour or two to eat, this way is much better.
In particular, the body does not go out, and if there is any "accident", it can be dealt with quickly.
"Accidents? What kind of accident can there be, it won't take a meal to change the dynasty again, right? ”
Walking out of a secluded alley in Yangcheng, Lin Tuo muttered in his heart.
Then he walked towards the Internet celebrity hot pot restaurant in front of him in a good mood:
"I forgot to make a reservation, and I don't know if I can grab a seat......
……
Yangcheng is calm and calm.
And at the same time, inside Tucker's black box, inside the sand table empire.
Deep in the Great Western Continent.
A mad "experiment" that could destroy the world is about to begin.
