Chapter 95: Back to Earth (1)
"The complete text of the Commentary on the Book of Heaven, in the drawer of the desk. β
Seeing this, Duck and Riley perked up and opened the drawer, and sure enough, a boxy box was lying quietly inside.
Carefully opened, inside was a thick book wrapped in yellow silk, old, lightly touched, the yellow silk turned into powder, Duck was afraid of breaking the book, quickly put it down.
Riley said, "Let's take it up and hand it over to George to deal with, and see what he has to say." β
Duck continued.
"A lot of people think of the Commentary on the Book of Heaven as a lifesaver, but that's just an excuse for me to experiment, yes, I revised it, but even if it spreads, will it be useful? Will it fundamentally solve the problem of Alaba?
"The gainer will use it as a talisman, and the loser will attack it as a forgery, and then the two sides will continue to entangle. Without thinking about what you can do and what you should do, but hastily throwing the heavy responsibility of saving the fate of the nation to a book of scriptures, this is the greatest disrespect to the sages and the greatest blasphemy against the Holy Lord!
"I revised it, and then tore it up with my own hands, and divided it into twelve, and let the foolish ones be foolish! the dumb and incompetent princes and nobles, the cowardly Berca who did not dare to go beyond the thunder pool, the tribal chiefs who knew only drunken dreams of death, the stupid and numb commoners who fought for a lump of camel dung...... Incorrigible, incorrigible, incorrigible!"
Farouge used three incorrigible words in a row to describe his indignation. He then scolded the princes and burcas who opposed progress and regarded alchemy as heresy.
Even after hundreds of years, Duck and Riley can still feel the grief and anger of their ambitions.
Duck sighed: "No need to look for fragments, there is a full book here, but, but...... Faruger is right, even if he takes it out, no one will believe it, and it is impossible to solve the problem of Arra. β
"Yes, the Arabis believe too deeply, too paranoidly. If it is said that the Lasanis deserve to die, do you think the Lasanis will believe it, and what will the Shiriites say, and what will they do?"
Dark's heart swelled with sadness, but he smiled on his face: "What are you kidding, when Mahamad was alive, the Mislanism was not divided into two factions. Take it back and deal with it for George - see what Farouge has to say later. β
After the catharsis, the caliph calmed down a lot and began to introduce his thoughts.
"Voltaire, the leader of Mensaro, was a master of the construction skills, the leader of the Jurians, Croney, the generous donation, the tireless review and errata of Maktiniboka, and the chief of the Assasins, Sabah, and his men risked their lives again and again to explore the most inhospitable, remote and dangerous places, just for a possible ancient text...... I was unfortunate and happy at the same time, because there were also these like-minded companions with me, and I was especially touched and surprised by my pagan friend, Flamel the Dolander.
"I want to create an ideal country, a place where there is no possibility of foreign invasion, so that the Arabis can pass on their culture from generation to generation. However, without an invasion of foreign enemies, it is impossible, right?
"I have to admire Flamel, who is a genius with great technique and a nimble mind, who came up with an epoch-making idea: to sink a city into the ground, no foreign enemy can easily approach it!
What follows is a lengthy and tasteless feasibility and technical analysis, which Riley reads with relish, but Duck reads with a head and two big.
Faruger's narrative continues.
β...... Taking into account the changes in the water table, subterranean life and geological changes, this huge city must be a closed and open system: it can effectively avoid the invasion of the surrounding subterranean life and the flattening of the strata, while maintaining the possibility of communication with the outside world. That is, it must be a controllable whole.
"You don't have any experience to follow, you have to explore it yourself. We can only take it step by step, first of all, the underground cities of the Mensaro people come to mind. Survival is fine, but the risk of foreign invasion is very high, and further down, you will encounter dangerous sandworms, even the head of Voltaire does not approve of this idea, so he plans to proceed to the second step.
"The second step came from the suggestion of Marc Tinny Burka and the leader of Cronie, who came up with the idea of the 'City of Steel Rock'. The essence is to build a huge 'steel rock house', with a hierarchical structure, which can only be opened from the inside, which has become the main part of the plan, but a dangerous question is, what if the stratum subsides, the foundation subsides, or even sandworm activity, hollowing out the foundation, and the city overturning?
"When we were at a loss, Flamel came up with a bold, crazy idea! We were all shocked! But after thinking about it, we fell into ecstasy, and his idea could well come true!
"The final policy was thus decided, and we put into practice the initial idea of the 'City of Steel Rock' on the basis of the underground city of Mensaro β this library, which has been working flawlessly for two years without any discomfort from all the staff. So, next month, we're going to do the third step, the final experiment.
"This experiment is difficult, the inhabitants of an entire city are test subjects, so it must be carried out in secret, and technically, we need the Steel Rock Slime, the king of earth creatures, to provide us with a strong defense, located in Nehr City in the Dead Fire Desert, and if successful, then the Ara will always be invincible. May all the best and the Lord bless Araba!"
Farrouge's account ended, and Riley was about to cry angrily, "But why? Why don't you explain what the final policy is? Steel Rock Slime won't say anywhere, let's guess the riddle?"
"It can be seen that Faruger is a cautious fellow, and he doesn't say anything unfounded," Darker advised, "I think it may be for fear that the idea is too shocking to say it casually, and if it doesn't work out, it will be laughed at." β
"Really...... Forget it, I've already informed George of the general situation, let's go up and figure it out, shall we?"
"Good. However, I think it should be explored a little more. β
"Huh, what else is there to explore?"
"There are a lot of puzzles that remain unsolved, such as the intelligent golem, the rock slime that can be controlled, and the information on the sandworm that Ralbin has been obsessed with...... I haven't found it yet!"
"Wait a minute, brother, George, team talk. Riley pressed the bulge behind her ear, frowned and listened to a few words, "Got it, you're ready over there." Then she said to Darke: "Brother, George said let's hurry up, he has considered all these problems, and there will be unexpected things after going up." β
"Unexpected?
"Oh, don't worry about it, go up there, I don't like this kind of place. β
With a question mark in his belly, Duck called Ralbin and AltaΓ―r and returned to the surface.
