Chapter 178: Turmoil

The famine lasted for 3 months, and finally, a massive peasant uprising broke out. In the southeastern corner of the continent, a peasant army called the Yellow Grain Army began to fight head-on with the government forces.

The first battle lasted for three days, and the walls of the county town were covered with reddish-brown dried blood. After paying tens of thousands of casualties, the Yellow Grain Army occupied the county seat of Xiping and received 3 million stone grain from the wealthy people in the city.

This campaign, like a shot in the arm, directly inspired the people throughout the country, and more and more peasants rose up, and for a time, wolf smoke broke out all over the country, and the central government's control over the localities fell to a record low.

A city, which may belong to the imperial court today, will be occupied by the rebels tomorrow, and then recaptured by the central government on the third day, and the situation is very chaotic.

β€”β€”Account Collectionβ€”β€”

"Are the outcasts still gathering outside the city?" Liu Qi sat in the lord's office, and in the past three months, due to the production of improved rice and the improvement of irrigation facilities along the river, the grain received by the household registration is still sufficient.

"Yes, and, having received the influence of the wave of uprisings throughout the country, they seem to have the intention of revolting to attack the city." Mo Qinghan said, "The scout killed a person who tried to incite the masses to attack the city yesterday, but if it continues like this, it is equivalent to a time bomb on the edge of the territory. ”

"Indeed." Liu Qi nodded and agreed, "Then, get ready, we should find a way to disperse this group of displaced people." ”

A large number of displaced people are blocked at the exit, not only is there a risk of war breaking out at any time, but it is also not conducive to the foreign trade of the territory, just like the closure of the country in a certain dynasty, but the household registration is passive, not active.

"How long do we have left?" Liu Qi asked the shocking world, "There are still allies, we are not alone now." ”

"At present, there is a one-year amount of grain reserves in the granary." "But the situation of the allies is not optimistic, their territories have no natural water sources, or the water sources have dried up, and even if there are good rice seeds, there is no way to grow them." ”

"Hmm." Liu Qi nodded, "It's better to be blocked, how much idle land is there in the valley now?" ”

"About 3,000 square kilometers." The planet of the Quantum Sea has inherited the characteristics of a vast area, so even a basin is much larger than the Earth, with mountains often stretching for thousands of miles, and small hills are thousands of meters high.

"What about the homeless? How many people, and how much grain can be reclaimed from these fields? Liu Qi asked, "If these farmlands can feed this group of displaced people, it would be good to take the opportunity to collect some of the population." ”

Three months ago, the armed forces of the territory were too small, and if you rashly absorb the displaced people, it would be easy to lose them, and then the gains would outweigh the losses, and the fun would be great.

After three months of development, the population has risen to 20,000, and the ratio of the army is 1:2, which means that there are now more than 6,000 troops, and the police of the big eastern countries can manage 8,000 people alone, so this army is enough to deal with the displaced people outside.

"Under normal circumstances, all the land is enough for 180,000 people, and the enriched rice used now can support less than 300,000 people, which is enough for this group of displaced people, but if we turn all the idle land into arable land, future development will also be a problem." Said in shock.

"Well, that's right." Liu Qi nodded, "What about building terraces on the mountain?" Is it feasible? "The problem with irrigation is that there are waterwheels, so alpine planting seems to be feasible.

"According to the current technology, it takes about one year to completely transform the terraces, and the timeliness is insufficient." Shocking answer.

"How long will the territory's food stock be enough for these guys?" Liu Qi asked.

"Less than 1 month." The shocking reply is that there are more than 200,000 displaced people gathered outside the valley, and the reason why there is no uprising now is because the military strength behind the city wall is not clear, and no one wants to risk their lives.

"What about opening up dependent territories? May I? Liu Qi asked.

"There is no suitable place to build a territory in the surrounding area." "At the same time, without a fiefdom order issued by the central government, illegal annexation of land will be punishable by death." ”

"Damn." Another plan was declared bankrupt, and Liu Qi had no choice but to shake his head and say, "Send someone to drive those homeless people away, if you really don't want to leave, let's kill them." ”

Liu Qi sighed, indeed, as a modern person, it is still difficult to bear the life and death of tens of thousands of people with one word, these 200,000 are not game NPCs, but fresh lives!

"Got it, I'll go." Mo Qinghan said, carrying the sword and leaving the office.

"Alas, these sad times!" Liu Qi looked at the sky speechlessly, and also looked at the sky, as well as General Li in the county seat.

Outside the city walls of the county seat, there are 600,000 refugees, and at the same time, the city is also overcrowded, people in the city want to go outside the city to find food, people outside the city desperately want to seek refuge in the city, and the bark outside the city is stripped away, this kind of famine is almost invisible in modern times.

"Cultivating the iron-blooded concept and the sense of trade-offs of civilized leaders is probably what this era has taught us." Liu Qi sighed, didn't say more, looking at the row of numbers after the population count on the lord's manual, it was as if he saw a mouth for eating, although the territory was not worried, what about the whole country?

Everyone wants to be a hero, but who has the ability to be a hero. Heroes don't simply have the ability to make money, they also need a strong heart.

"After driving away the refugees, Mo Qinghan was responsible for leading the troops to clear the surrounding areas of bandits and rogues, and we had no way to give food to the refugees, so we could only find a way to keep the food in their hands from being taken away." Liu Qi said.

"Understood." Shocking nodded, now the army under the hukou command has gotten rid of the time when the militia occupies the majority.

The whole army of 6,000 people, 3,000 hoplites, 2,000 archers, 800 light cavalry, and 200 heavy cavalry, except for fewer people, is almost a force that can sweep the world.

Of course, this is inseparable from the support of the "Qi" civilization, if there is no "Qi" civilization to send the production line, the productivity of the whole base will be outrageously low, the full automation of the steel production line has greatly accelerated the development of the hukou collar, which should not have appeared in this era of electricity, but also applied to the lives of residents little by little.

As a result, the satisfaction rate of residents with household registration is as high as 90, and it is still rising.

There is no way for ordinary lords to upgrade across the ages, but who made Comrade Liu Qi a scientist and can hang up?

As a V-level civilization, even if it is a garbage-like creation, the "Qi" civilization is enough to make the natives of this planet shocked.

"My lord, we found a cave in the mountain forest in the northwest, this cave is unfathomable, the people did not dare to go down, now wait for you to make an idea." A leader rushed in.

"Oh? Interesting. Liu Qi suddenly became interested, he was so sad just now, he needed to adjust.

"Let's go, shocking the world, take a look, just take a break." Liu Qi said.

"Understood." Shocking nodded, and then followed the villagers out of the office with Liu Qi.

"Warning! Unknown creatures have been spotted approaching, and the autonomic defense system has been activated. After all, the people on the side of the cave did not hold back their curiosity, and stepped directly into the mouth of the cave, and then, a red laser flashed, directly cutting the person in half.

By the time Liu Qi and the others came here, it was already 2 hours later.

The mountain road was rugged, and the cave entrance was hidden, so it took a lot of effort for the two and the guide to find the target location.

"Liu Qi, there are traces of human activities here." The shocking words sounded in Liu Qi's ears.

"Nonsense, aren't we going here?" Liu Qi replied as a matter of course.

"No, there are traces of being run over by wheels on this ground." "And there is some residue of refined crude oil in the soil. ”

"Are you sure?" Liu Qi couldn't believe it, "It seems that the water on this planet is much deeper than I thought!" ”

"Let's go, speed up, I'm going to see what's in this cave!" As he spoke, Liu Qi and his party sped up.

"It's better to be cautious." "Even if it's a Level II civilization, it's not something we can resist now. ”

Class II civilizations are already able to use fuel and gunpowder more proficiently, and even more so are Class III civilizations that can launch satellites and so on.

"Don't worry, there's no way he'll give me a nuclear bomb, right?" Liu Qi didn't care, just smiled.

"Hopefully." Shocking the world, he also followed, and a long sword was embodied in his hand, obviously in a state of preparation.

"Amazing, you don't need to be so nervous, right?" Liu Qi looked puzzled, "There can't be any advanced civilization on this planet. ”

"Not necessarily, at that time, on the home planet of the "Qi" civilization, the ruins of the VIII civilization appeared. Mo Qinghan said, "It is also very likely that this place is the remains of a certain civilization." ”

"Tear~" Liu Qi thought about it, it seemed that it was really like that, so he also began to get nervous, "Do you want to call Mo Qinghan over, otherwise I'm afraid that there won't be enough people to fight later." ”

"No need, since it's a relic, there must not be too strong enemies." The girl said, wearing a pair of armor, although her tone was relaxed, but the equipment was not careless.

The group finally arrived at the entrance of the cave, and the guide was about to go inside, but was stopped by the shocking world.

"Wait." The astonishing hand stopped the guide who was about to enter, and said, "What about your companion?" ”

"Huh?" Only then did the guide remember his good friend who had gone up the mountain to chop wood with him before, "Will he go in first?" ”

"Nope." "There is no sign of human life other than us within 2,000 meters of the surrounding area. ”

"Let me explore before I go in, this ruin is not easy." As he spoke, blue fluctuations appeared around the shocking bodyβ€”the detection quantum quickly spread out in all directions, and soon, blue rays of light appeared in front of him.

"Sure enough," the corners of the shocking mouth curled slightly, "simple laser access control." ”

When the quantum encounters light, it collapses and becomes a visible particle, so the laser appears.

"Amazing adults, the dog is ......" The guide stopped talking.

"Dead." Shocking the world's expressionless face, "The biomass on the ground is his corpse." ”

The air attack of the laser net was less than 2mm, and the dog eggs that were cut in half were further cut by the laser net behind them, and finally turned into biomass meat foam and sprinkled on the ground.

"Is there a way to lift the curfew?" Liu Qi asked, "There seems to be a big secret here." ”

"Start initiating the data invasion, the spy quantum has been launched." Shocking has always been a man of action, and directly started the data invasion.

The spy Quantum first established contact with the other party's server, and the shocking world was able to carry out data invasion.

"The quantum channel was successfully constructed, and the data chain began to be built." As he spoke, more blue data streamed towards the interior of the cavern, through all obstacles, to the depths.

"Warning! The system is compromised, and countermeasures are initiated. "The other party is obviously also smart, will not show weakness, and start to fight back.

"His computing power is on par with mine, and there is no problem in winning it, but it will take time." Said in shock.

"Request additional calculations, synchronize the database." In order to complete the invasion faster, the amazing world borrowed computing power from Mo Qinghan.

The speed of floating-point arithmetic increased a lot in an instant, directly crushing the opponent and completing the control of the opponent.

"Start contacting the defenses, the program is loading." As he spoke, the laser web began to dissipate in all directions little by little.

This is a technology used by advanced civilizations to use lasers - viscous lasers. Constructing a light-speed blocking band in a flat plane so that the laser light does not disappear in an instant, but can remain for a long time, is of great significance for energy saving.

"The lighting system is on." As he spoke, a bright light appeared on the top of the cave, extending from the inside to the mouth of the cave.

"The airtight door opens." Said in shock. Subsequently, I only heard a deflated sound of "ε‘²~", and then there was a "click", and there was no sound inside.

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look." With that, the amazing world took Liu Qi into the cave.

"Condolences." Shocking said to the grief-stricken guide beside him.

There were no words all the way, the cave was indeed unfathomable, and after nearly 3 hours of stopping and walking, everyone came to a control room.

Due to disrepair, the elevator broke down, and everyone walked for 2 hours just by stairs, and it is not difficult to explain why there is a 3-hour trip.

"I'll go, is this a secret base?" Liu Qi looked at the huge operation room, and was really thundered, the all-metal ceiling, floor, and walls were extremely hard.

There is also a huge three-dimensional stereoscopic projection facility in front of you, which is simply a huge underground command base.

At the same time, what is even more terrifying is that the entire base is under a huge granite, and there is a graphite layer on top, and there are 2,000 cubic meters of compressed hydrogen peroxide reserves on the data.

However, when the weapon system was displayed, it was when Liu Qi's jaw really dropped.

This underground base has 20 automatic missile silos, and at the click of a button in the control room, you can launch terrifying intercontinental missiles.

There are 200 nuclear warheads in stockpile, all of which have a million-ton yield, which is even more excessive than the Cold War of the year.

Even Liu Qi found a huge antimatter bomb warhead in the ammunition depot, but unfortunately the antimatter inside had decayed.

(Antimatter decay: Affected by cosmic rays, antiparticles will gradually transform into neutral dark matter particles)

"Hmph, if you want to hammer with me now, I can send justice from heaven." Liu Qi smiled, he made a lot of money this time
