Chapter 8: The Great Empire of China
"Havoc in the Heavenly Palace?! This is the special havoc in the Heavenly Palace?! That Lao Tzu nested at home, watched the monkeys for three days and three nights, and prepared a lot of ancient oriental costumes, what is it?!!! What is this?! A joke?! β
After checking the information on the Internet for a while, a reincarnation finally couldn't stand it anymore, covered his head and began to roar. The reincarnators who had taken the lead in leaving the classroom at the beginning just glanced at him, laughed contemptuously, and then took out a small device the size of a palm and began to fiddle with it.
But Xue Qiong noticed a sign on the instrument... The cracked peach heart, the lines that diverge outward, and the two lines in the peach heart that look expressionless at first glance, but are actually smiling.
Heart-to-heart! These people are in the same boat! Xue Qiong was immediately shocked in his heart, not only because of his dangerous relationship with Xinxie now, but also because of the director's prediction, which actually came true again...
Xue Qiong's expression remained unchanged, only after the other reincarnators also recognized the symbol of the Heart Association, and exclaimed with them, "It turned out to be the person of the Heart Association". And these four reincarnators just nodded with a sense of superiority, and then continued to fiddle with the instruments in their hands.
"This is a demon-free plane." The leader of the four, after fiddling with the instrument for a while, said, "I can't detect any supernatural powers, and I can't detect any energy residue... As for the level of science and technology, what should have happened in 2057 beyond the normal level. And the danger we may face is, at most, the high-tech weapons of the twenty-second century... We don't know exactly what this is, but the good news is that we don't face much of a threat. β
Xue Qiong made a happy expression with Xiao Yun and a bald head on the surface, but in fact she was noncommittal about this statement. Don't forget that the worldview setting of "Mechanical Transformation Man" was added by himself, and the difficulty benchmark of this world is nine...
When the class bell rang again, the reincarnators obviously had no intention of returning to the classroom, but continued to gather in the grove to check the information.
The place where the reincarnators enter this plot world is a big city called Chika City, an ordinary high school outside the fifth ring road of the city. And this Chika City, in the normal world, is called Chicago.
After figuring out where they were, the reincarnators looked up the strange history of this world again... Modern history, to be precise.
More than 100 years ago, Chairman Chiang led the army to be invincible, first easily resisted the Japanese invasion, and fought to Tokyo, and then turned back to exterminate the communists and bandits, and then led 40,000 Chinese sons and daughters to join the Axis powers, and pacified all the barbarians on all sides.
In the later stage of World War II, Jiang Zhongzheng obtained the human body modification technology from the Nazis, and in his own hands, let it be carried forward, through this technology to turn human beings into super weapons, the chairman finally betrayed the camp of the Axis powers, attacked Germany and Italy, and finally conquered the entire earth, and in 1951.1.1 proclaimed the emperor, established the Earth Empire, and established himself as the Emperor of the Earth Empire.
Chairman Chiang established Catholicism as the state religion and changed the calendar to the earth calendar, with 1951 A.D. as the year of the earth calendar.
After Jiang Zhongzheng became emperor, he set up a racial bill that was not as extreme as the Nazis, but more terrifying, and divided it into four categories: Yan Huang, Inferior Yellow, White Race, and Black Race, among which Yan Huang is a pure Han Chinese, and Inferior Yellow is a collective term for all second-class yellow people except the Han nationality, ethnic minorities, Southeast Asians, Orientals, Koreans, South Asians, Indians, and mixed-race people.
The Earth Empire's Race Act has many articles, and although it does not prohibit contact between people of different races, nor does it massacre other races, it is the most cruel in its gentle places. One of them is that if the lower two people are killed by the two higher people, then the higher class only needs to pay a fine equivalent to the annual income of the deceased, and sixty percent of it goes to the state, three percent goes to the institution where the deceased belongs, and the family of the deceased can only get one percent. On the contrary, if a low-ranking person kills a high-ranking person..."Zhu Jiu Clan", a punishment that should have been forgotten in the dust of history, actually appeared in the year 2057.
It is even more unlikely that there will be a punishment for crimes committed by higher human beings, because if the victim becomes pregnant, then she will give birth to a higher caste than herself, usually inferior to herself, and she herself may gain a higher social status as a result... It's a gift, how can it be a sin? Of course, only for the higher people.
In addition to the Race Act, after the establishment of the Earth Empire, all privately owned means of production were confiscated, from large factories to farmers' farm tools, all were nationalized, and the productive forces of the entire earth were concentrated in the hands of the state. So in the current world, there are no legal private institutions, not even online media, so this future network doesn't even have a search engine, and reincarnators can only use the Imperial Library APP that is obviously officially made, but only selectively puts history into it.
It is worth mentioning that there is a person in the reincarnation who knows a little about hacking techniques, but as soon as he opens the program background on the tablet, the whole person is confused, because the program code of this world is actually written in Chinese, or traditional characters... In a way, this is one of the reasons why reincarnators can access the Internet, but they spend too much time gathering information in the first stage.
At the time of the establishment of the Earth Empire, Chinese was already stipulated as the only legal language, and after translation, all foreign language classics were destroyed. If someone wants to speak English, it's fine, but all the official institutions, that is, all the institutions, won't admit him... A hundred years have passed, and it is estimated that there are no more people in this world who can speak other languages.
And the rule of this Chiang dynasty has been strengthened for more than a hundred years... After years and generations of bloody repression and cult brainwashing, the two-pronged approach reached its peak more than a decade ago. On January 1, 2042, the contemporary emperor Jiang Yefeng announced the abolition of the Earth Empire, and at the same time ascended the throne as the first emperor of the Great Chinese Empire. However, the historical facts have long been ominous, so 2042.1.1 is January 1, 4101 in Huaxia.
In addition, the reincarnators finally found something that had something to do with the "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" in this world... Temple.
The Heavenly Palace is the residence of the Emperor and the de facto capital of the Empire, and it is... A space station the size of a city.
This real "Heavenly Palace", built by the contemporary emperor Jiang Yefeng himself when he was young, has a spoke-shaped main body, with a radius of ten kilometers and a thickness of eight kilometers, and slowly rotates in the earth's synchronous orbit to provide gravity close to the ground. The emperor lived there, along with his 3,000 harem, some important officials and their families, and of course the largest population base was the countless palace ladies and eunuchs who served them. In this era, eunuchs are not simply cut off, but after being transformed into super soldiers who are absolutely loyal to the empire and loyal to the emperor, they are cut off with their hands.
In addition, in the rotation center of this cylindrical space station, there is a space elevator connected to the ground, and at the other end of this space elevator, there is also an emperor's palace, in which the space elevator base station is called the "Tower of Babel". The Tower of Babel is located near the mouth of the Amazon River in South America, and is precisely located on the equator to facilitate docking with the Earth's synchronized celestial palace. The daily necessities, food, and water consumed by the nobles in the Heavenly Palace were continuously transported from here, and the waste created by the nobles was transported from above, and then directly dumped into the Amazon River.
After seeing this information about the "Heavenly Palace", Xue Qiong and the three of them unexpectedly got the hint of the beacon.

(it...) Xue Qiong has thousands of grass and mud horses running over in his heart, and sure enough, this world is made like this, he still has to take the blame!
The reincarnators discussed it roughly, and they all seemed to think that there was no danger in this world, and although there were some surprises, in fact, they just had to brush up and walk away as before. So they split into several groups and demarcated the range of activities that would not affect each other much, and then they dispersed and left the school.
The team of the Heart Association had the confidence to choose the nearest North America as the venue for the destruction of the scoring activities. The other two-person team and one three-person team chose South America and the Pacific region, respectively.
And Xue Qiong, who had other plans in his heart, acted as if he didn't rush it, and in the end he only got those places far away from the ocean, and the reincarnators looked at him as a little pitiful, so they didn't limit where they were going in the agreement, and pretended to be generous to let him do it casually in Eurasia and Africa.
After leaving this middle school, Xue Qiong and the others went through a lot of hardships to finally find the most illegal place in the city, get a fake identity certificate, and exchange the drugs and gold on their bodies for the currency of this world... That night, they rented a suite in a hotel in the center of Chika City, and this was the temporary settling.
