Chapter 239: The Golden Kingdom (I)
"Let Oz talk to me!" Seeing that things had been verified, Evan suddenly became energetic.
"Yes. Renee hurriedly presented the computer.
"Oz, tell me what's going on in El Dorado. ”
"Yes!"
As soon as Oz saw him suddenly appear, he hurriedly turned the camera to Xintiandi behind the cave, and excitedly introduced:
"It's a strange new continent, and the whole world seems to be supported by giant trees, and it's very beautiful! It's amazing that the style of their buildings is actually the same as that of the empire, and have you seen it, Your Majesty? The huge silver tower, the base covers an area of hundreds of square kilometers, and the height is more than a thousand meters...... There is no doubt that the level of civilization and technology in El Dorado is extremely high, and it may be comparable to the current empire!"
Because the Holy Army is equipped with extremely high-precision telescopes, the Golden Kingdom under the lens is very clear, from the long river, the city gathered by the trees, to the giant tree, and then to the extremely conspicuous silver tower, all of which are very clearly presented on the screen.
“......”
Ivan leaned closer to the camera and carefully examined the buildings under the lens, and found that the architectural style was indeed the style of Menes in the classical period.
They are good at using square planes to obtain the most stable space shape, and reflect the majestic, solemn and mysterious buildings with huge scale, simple and calm geometric shapes, clear symmetrical axes and deep spatial layouts.
Specifically, these buildings prefer square bases, rectangular colonnades, and cubic conical roofs, and the overall appearance is horizontal and vertical, thick and majestic, and from a distance it looks like it is strictly forbidden.
Looking at this vast new continent that inhabits the interior of the planet, Evan faintly felt that he had finally found the remains of the ancient Menes civilization. It's just that this 'ruin' has not become a relic, but has been hidden inside the planet for thousands of years, and has quietly continued to the present.
“......”
Considering this situation, Ivan gradually became solemn and fell into a long silence.
If this civilization is truly a continuation of the ancient Menes civilization, then El Dorado becomes a dynamite bag that can put the empire in a dilemma if not handled well.
To swallow or not to swallow?
If it were an outsider, Ivan would definitely consider pushing it over without thinking, but judging from the architectural style, the El Dorado of the Caspian World is at least a branch of the Menes civilization, if not a continuation of the ancient Menes civilization.
In this case, they are their own brothers, and as the so-called difference between inside and outside, how many people can stand to do something to their own brothers for no reason? People are treated well in the inner world, that is, there is no division and no conflict of interests, and they are likely to be of the same origin and the same species as you; if you swallow it up without saying a word, there is no morality at all in this kind of thing!
At present, the empire is not short of labor, let alone living space, and it does not make much sense to swallow El Dorado.
Moreover, the emergence of El Dorado also brought a question of legitimacy to the empire.
Whether the ancient Menes civilization in the underground world is orthodox or the new Menes civilization on the ground is orthodox is not clarified, it will lead to logical loopholes in the legal principles of the empire.
......
After a long silence, Evan looked back at El Dorado on the video screen and said to Oz, who was still chattering:
"Well done, you and your men are now guarding the entrance of the cave, not allowing anyone to enter or leave, and not to reveal information to the outside world. I'll send someone to replace you soon...... Remember, don't stop revealing the existence of El Dorado to the outside world for a while. ”
"Yes!" Oz didn't think too much about it, he just knew to obey orders and listen to commands.
"Hmm. ”
Evan nodded, then turned off the video communication, handed the computer back to Rennie, and then looked at the pensive Ptolemy:
"Ptolemy, did you hear what Oz said just now? I will tell you now that the El Dorado of the Caspian World has indeed preserved the civilization of Ancient Menes. The current situation is that El Dorado is likely to be a continuation of the ancient Menes civilization, which is a bit of a headache. ”
"Your Majesty is right, the current situation is indeed a headache. Torremi's brow tightened involuntarily, revealing a solemn expression.
His current mood is probably similar to that of the Chinese of New China, who found a space-time tunnel leading to ancient China in a cave somewhere. Using this space-time tunnel, the state apparatus can indeed annex ancient China, but can the people stand it?
Except for a small number of militants, the majority of the people should hope that the two sides can live in peace, and even that New China will support the development of ancient China.
Ptolemy's state of mind at this time was like this, and he also hoped that the two sides could coexist peacefully and develop together. But peaceful coexistence is a ...... for both sides Unilateral wishful thinking is useless, and even if the Empire can restrain the impulse to war, who can guarantee that the El Dorado will not be hostile to the Empire?
What if the El Dorado discovers the existence of the empire and suddenly breeds wolf ambitions, and they happen to have a certain amount of strength, wouldn't it be a disaster?
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing Ptolemy's rare mute, the previous cabinet participant immediately stood up and said loudly: "The top priority now is to first determine whether the El Dorado is related to the ancient Menes civilization. According to the intimacy of the relationship between the two parties, then make the next plan. ”
"You're right. ”
Evan looked away from Ptolemy and turned to the cabinet who spoke: "So, do you think we should send someone to El Dorado, or do we investigate secretly?"
"Directly on the mission!"
The cabinet participant raised his head and replied with a full sense of confidence:
"The empire is vast, its power is all over the galaxy, and Your Majesty is even more powerful and interstellar, like the sun that never sets. In the face of a golden country that is still trapped inside the planet and does not know that there is a sky beyond the sky, if you still secretly make some small moves, it will really damage your majesty's prestige. ”
“......”
Seeing this minister's confident appearance, Evan fell into a speech jam for a while, and he wanted to tell the other party loudly - his prestige is not valuable, how things are easy to do, and there is no need to tie himself up for the ethereal great power bearing.
However...... It's hard for him to say this kind of thing.
"Your Majesty, and Your Excellency. Ptolemy's sudden voice broke the dilemma, and Ivan was slightly relieved.
At this time, he seemed to have sorted out his thoughts, stood up straight, first bowed to the Sun Throne, and then glanced at the cabinet with a smile:
"Our thinking seems to have fallen into a misunderstanding, whether it is Your Majesty, I, or Your Excellency, we all subconsciously believe that El Dorado must be backward from the Empire. However, is this really the case? Based on the translation of the Tree of Wisdom documents during this time, we can learn that the ancient Menes civilization was a golden civilization that was once able to compete with the Terra civilization. ”
"If El Dorado is really the descendants of the ancient Menes civilization, then how much inheritance did they inherit? Even if they lost ninety-nine percent of it over the years, as long as they still had a superweapon, ......it was enough to pose a threat to the Empire! Otherwise, it is not certain who will annex whom. ”
After saying this, Ptolemy put away his smile and looked at the Sun Throne with an extremely serious look:
"Your Majesty, I think it's better to postpone the matter of the envoy for the time being. Observe for a while to see how much the civilization of El Dorado is similar to ours, what the customs are, and whether the country is warlike or not, and then make a plan. ”
"Ptolemy is right. ”
Ivan closed his eyes and closed his head gently, and after a moment of silence, he stood up from the Sun Throne: "I will send someone to investigate this matter, and you must remember that it is not allowed to tell what happened in the palace until the matter is completely clear." ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The ministers stroked their chests and saluted, and at the same time received orders.
"That's right!"
Only then did Evan remember that the ranger trio had not been rewarded, and turned to look at them, and found that the three of them were looking at him with expressions of wanting to say nothing. This scene made him feel a little funny, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and after stopping the laughter, he said to the rangers:
"The three of you have indeed made a contribution to finding the El Dorado, and I promised you that things will not change. Well, I'll give you a day to think about it, and I'll send someone to you after a day. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The three of them hurriedly bowed down to thank each other, glanced at each other, and showed overjoyed expressions.
One-one-one-one-one-one
After leaving the palace of the king, Evan mobilized a large number of stealth robots and ordered them to investigate the situation at the entrance to the cave leading to El Dorado, preparing to conduct an all-round surveillance investigation. He ordered the Knights of the Holy Armor to seal off the desert ruins and prohibit exploration teams from digging up the desert ruins.
This was followed by a twenty-day in-depth investigation.
During this time, Ivan collected a lot of intelligence in El Dorado through stealth robots.
As a result, the El Dorado really looks more and more like the Menes Empire, not only does it look the same, but it also has the same religious beliefs and living customs, and even believes in the dress and festivals.
What shocked him even more was that there were actually two Sun Kings in the El Dorado Kingdom, which was exactly the same as Menes' concept of inheritance, both of them were blood relatives and had a family lineage. The two sun kings, or pharaohs, who now wield kingship, Hergaser and Thutmose are cousins.
In addition, the national power of the El Dorado should not be underestimated, and the new world seen by the ranger trio is just a province of the El Dorado, and there are eight more such provinces, each of which has a white tower of the same shape.
Evan originally thought that the white tower, which was more than 1,000 meters high, was some kind of meteorological equipment or a military fortress.
As a result, the stealth robot looked at it for a while, and realized that it was the site used by the priests for religious sacrifices, and the reason for the construction of this century project was also simple - they thought that the higher they stood, the easier it would be to listen to the will of the gods.
Obviously, the priests had a great deal of power in the El Dorado, similar to the Menes Empire in the past, and could even influence the decrees of the Sun King.
The reason why the stealth robot was not allowed to enter the tower to observe was because the mechanical lifeform felt a strong mental power fluctuation in the tower, believing that close observation would expose its existence.
In fact, not only in the tower, but also in this province of the El Dorado, there are not many lifeforms with strong spiritual power.
In addition to the large number of strong units, El Dorado also has a lot of advanced primeval technology, but it is clear that they have lost their crafting methods and will only maintain their existing weapons. These include meteorological equipment, energy weapons, space-based weapons, individual armor, and large man-made mechanical golems...... There are even super-large mechanical lifeforms similar to those of the Blackwing Demon.
Faced with this series of situations, Ivan became more and more surprised in his heart, and even suspected that the two Sun Kings of the Golden Kingdom had also mastered the Sun Golden Sutra and the Holy Book of the Underworld.
In the process, he became more and more unsteady in his heart, and came up with a strange idea - could it be that those of us who live on the earth are actually spare tires, and in fact the Menes of El Dorado are the inheritors of the golden civilization thousands of years ago!?
