Chapter 454: Technology

The time for the unification of the Seven Kingdoms is determined to be the first year of the Red Dragon Empire. It was from this time that the imperial calendar was introduced, and the chaotic calendar that had been followed by the aristocracy was unified, and the methods of weights and measures and mathematical calculations were standardized. In the relevant works of later historians, the establishment of the new empire is called the "imperial apparition".

Five years later, EFA is beginning to show its effects. According to Su Hao's decree, all school-age children have the right to go to school. Police have detained tens of millions of parents who have violated the law and forced about seven million children to attend school in order to enforce the law. Depending on the family's economic situation, the penalized person is either fined a large amount or sentenced to hard labour. Huge groups of criminals in the millions are used to build roads and cities. While Su Hao made use of the water resources of the world rivers of Rabangka, he also built roads connecting the cities around the central mountain range from different directions for more than ten days.

The original capital of the Golden Card Kingdom has now become the capital of the Red Dragon Empire. Su Hao collected all the books of all the kingdoms and established the royal library in the imperial capital. More than half of the "worker bees" were sent to education and power institutions to maintain the rectification, and the rest stayed in the library every day, analyzing and sorting out tens of thousands of different books.

The central mountain range cannot appear out of thin air. The civilization of the world of Rabangca has lasted for tens of thousands of years, and there are many people who are curious about this inaccessible region. Even some kings had the idea of conquering the region. From the time it was first recorded, over a period of nearly 30,000 years, the Seven Kingdoms explored the Central Mountains thousands of times. None of these explorations were successful, except for the knowledge that it was full of terrifying mutants, as well as fierce but ignorant and savage natives. The demand for hedron also became the driving force for kings and nobles to search for the central mountain range. But that's not all. After all, the benefits of the harvest are only slaves and hedrons. Although the former has a strong physical ability that surpasses ordinary people, there are too few of them. The latter, although valuable, was merely used as an ornament.

Finding secrets from past history is the most direct and common means. All the kings and senators of the Seven Kingdoms are still alive. Of course, Su Hao didn't raise these people to waste food. Every day he would single out a few people, either cutting off an arm or cutting off a few pieces of flesh from their thighs. These bloody human flesh did not look very good, and the taste was very average, Su Hao always frowned and stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them slowly. This is not done for some appalling hobby, but simply to get hidden secrets from the cells of those people.

Too much time has passed. There are many things that even the kings themselves do not remember. For example, after devouring one of King Saphiri's arms, Su Hao dug out a history of King Saphiri's ancestors' conquest of the Central Mountains more than 6,000 years ago. They once hunted down a giant mutant who was huge in size, tens of meters tall. There is no mention of this in any of the books, and the imprisoned king himself has long forgotten this history. Of course, he didn't lie to the warden sent by Su Hao, and he always screamed in the face of the torture equipment, repeatedly claiming that he was indeed telling the truth and did not hide it at all. However, the active mind may forget, but the cell will always remember every word that the eyes see and the ears hear.

Based on the villages of Mosin and Molizaka in Sabanggawi, two large forts are being built adjacent to the central mountain range. Su Hao ordered the relocation of 100,000 civilians on the periphery of the two forts, that is, the adjacent areas of the mountains and the plains, to build new cities connected to them. At present, all armies throughout the empire were under the direct authority of the emperor, and the main force that constituted the commoners were freed slaves. Thanks to the diffusion effect of propaganda agencies, Su Hao's prestige has reached unprecedented heights.

In the years that followed, the remnants of the nobility set off more than a dozen riots. Su Hao suppressed it with the most brutal means, and the entire family of the rebels was killed in a row, and those related to him were closely monitored. From the core of power to the lowest grass-roots management body, the most detailed system of political review and screening has been established. Su Hao copied all the original set on the earth, but did not expand to the point where everyone was in danger, but tightened the rope of control and maximized the use of people's resources.

He wasn't too interested in whether he was the emperor or not. The purpose is simply to develop the technology of the world of Rabangkar as much as possible, so as to find a way to leave this world and communicate with the earth.

Su Hao has always considered himself an earthling. The best way to concentrate power is to become emperor. As for the so-called democracy on the planet, it is only the title of emperor that has been replaced by president, chairman, and head of state.

Two large forts each housed 50,000 warriors. Corresponding to this, there are as many as 200,000 workers. With the effect of wide road connections, the perimeter of the central mountain range is gradually cleared. Su Hao did not make a big move, but based on the existing size of the army in the fortress, he continued to carry out small-scale searches around the mountain range. On the one hand, it is to hunt more mutants. On the other hand, it also provides safety for workers who continue to build roads.

Su Hao ordered a large area of trees to be planted throughout the empire. In contrast, the dense forests on the outskirts of the Central Mountains have been cut down on a large scale. Bounded by the two fortresses of Sabang Garwiang Mosin and Moli Zaka, guard towers have been erected one after another. The armament set on the tower was originally a heavy ballista, and then turned into a rough copper cannon.

Technology is always proportional to combat power. In the twelfth year of the imperial calendar, Su Hao ordered the establishment of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and anyone with technical expertise could sign up to participate in the qualification examination. Gunpowder began to be used in the first form, and printing and papermaking were the most widely used. Bridges began to be built on several large rivers that ran throughout the world of Rabangka, and literacy was widely spread among the population. In this year, the first class of students from specialized secondary schools graduated, quickly filling the demand for scientific and technological talents at all levels of the empire. The people really saw the power of science and technology and culture, and they were no longer disgusted by the compulsory persuasion order issued by the emperor, but had an attitude of full support.

In the thirteenth year of the imperial calendar, the new ironclad sea ship "Hope", which was initiated and funded by the famous wealthy businessman Meng Qi, was launched. Together with two other smaller wooden seagoing vessels, it embarked on its maiden voyage around the continent along the continental shelf.

In the fourteenth year of the imperial calendar, species similar to rubber were fully used, and the first bicycle was invented. Two months later, the first hot air balloon was lifted off, giving people a bird's-eye view of the land.

In the fifteenth year of the imperial calendar, the railway from the imperial capital to Leonsa County was completed, with a total length of 38 kilometers. In November of the same year, the rear-loading flintlock pistol completely replaced the old equipment of the Imperial Army, and the world of Rabangka began to enter the era of hot weapons.

Sixteen years after the Empire, the Royal Navy embarked on its first round-the-world exploration......

Nothing is more real than what you see with your eyes. Su Hao was once again convinced that the role of the Atlanteans in promoting the civilization of the earth was actually existing. The world of Rabangka is a living example of this. It took him less than twenty years to forcibly push this slave world to a stage equivalent to the combination of the Earth's Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution. Although many scientific and technological projects have made leaps and bounds, and civilian products have not yet been popularized more widely, people's ability to accept new species and knowledge is indeed very strong, even surpassing that of human beings on earth.

Perhaps, this is the auxiliary effect produced by hypergravity?

Su Hao was also ignorant of the triangular façade teleportation diagram that Qin Wuyi had brought from the earth. He didn't know where Xinyan and the Yellow River had been teleported? Apart from the coordinates of a Scorpio 2000459661, there is no more information to refer to. It may take hundreds of years, if not longer, to decipher this thing. But Su Hao was not afraid to wait. Because when technology develops to a certain stage, there will be many common connection points. For example, the use of coal was originally only used for heating, and then spread to forging steel, and even further thermal power generation.

Viratra is still a priest in the village of Molizaka. Now, he has become a "worker bee" under Su Hao. During the search of the Central Mountains for more than a decade, hundreds of indigenous villages of various sizes were discovered. Whether they were benign or hostile to outsiders, all were imprisoned, assimilated. Thanks to the silver bones obtained from the large-scale hunting of mutants, Su Hao quickly built an army of thousands of evolutionary "worker bees".

Logging is taking place on a daily basis. Large numbers of logs were constantly transported back to civilization along the roads, and almost all the mountains within the empire were turned into large-scale forests, except for the cultivated land prescribed by law. As the desertification of the central mountain range became more and more severe, and as an indispensable measure to curb desertification and rocky weathering, Su Hao ordered the replanting of plants to begin along the periphery of the mountain range, which had been deforested. In this way, between the civilized world and the central mountain range, there has always been an abandoned circle with a width of more than 50 kilometers. There are almost no rivers passing through it, and there are rocks and sand everywhere. All the mutants killed in the previous battles are buried here. Every time the front felling team advances one kilometer, the following group of plants will also fill the corresponding area. Viewed from the air, this is a desolate world filled with yellow, white, gray and black. It is a dense green color in front and back. It's just that the green circle on the periphery is getting bigger and bigger, while the area of the same color in the core is getting smaller and smaller.

In the more than ten years of campaigning, the fortress defense army lost as many as tens of thousands of soldiers. As more and more ordinary people are transformed into "worker bees", and as the number of evolutionary "worker bees" increases, the casualties are also decreasing. For example, in the diary of the commander of the Moli Zaka Fortress, in the last battle with the mutants three days ago, his side was able to do no damage for the first time, but the result was that he hunted and killed more than 400 different types of mutants.

Advances in medicine and technology are equally reciprocal. The world of Rabangca has emerged in the preliminary stages of biology. Despite being far from its planetary counterpart, it's always a good start.

Every time he found an indigenous village, Su Hao had to conduct the most detailed search. He numbered the pyramids in each village and patiently searched every nook and cranny of the village, but never found anything. All the passages inside the pyramid are closed, and that mysterious black energy still exists. Their heaviness varies with the number of hedros stored in each pyramid. Su Hao noticed that when there was no spar energy stored in the stone cabinet on the third floor of the pyramid, the black barrier could not be maintained inside the passage. At the end of it was just an ordinary stone wall. Smashing it open with a hammer, you can see a large clearing behind the pyramid that connects to the village.

A wall is a wall after all. Su Hao didn't find anything related to technology in the pyramid. All the material that makes up the pyramid is stone. Although their density is large, they are very ordinary after all.

It's no secret. As early as more than ten years ago, when he just came to Moli Zaka Village from the earth, Su Hao made a similar judgment. At that time, however, there was no evidence that his guess was correct. And now, the facts before him, though unmistakable, made him feel an indescribable irritation.

The internal structure of the pyramid is roughly a zigzag shape. Su Hao could only turn the focus of his investigation to a deeper level, that is, the part of the pyramid that connects with the underground. To do this, it is necessary to spend a lot of manpower and corresponding engineering equipment. With the strength of Su Hao who had just come to the world of Rabangka at that time, it was impossible to carry out such a huge project. That's the real reason why he had to unify the world first and then move on to the other steps.

The world of Rabangka has begun to use steam machinery. The engineering troops dug up the pyramid layer by layer, keeping a detailed record of all the interior spaces and details. At the base of the pyramid, a day-shaped staircase was found, which contained a folded passage with a cross-sectional section of only 20 centimeters. It is connected to the pyramid like a special-shaped pipe, and when people dig the ground to find more of this stone pipe, they are surprised to find that the excavation length is more than 500 meters, and the end of the stone pipe is still not found. Judging by the direction of the stone path, the connecting location should be the core of the central mountain range.

Hearing the news, Su Hao stood on the highest watchtower of Moli Zaka Fortress, silently staring at the central mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist in the distance, without saying a word.

He's a very patient guy. In order to find a way back, and a way to the right world, he has been waiting for more than ten years, even if he has to continue to wait, Su Hao can bear it.

Time soon entered the fiftieth year of the imperial calendar.

According to the emperor's decree, the most important festival in the world of Rabangka is the Spring Festival. There are different opinions about the origin of the name of this festival, and different versions of the legend are widely circulated in the mainland, but no one would have thought that the name "Spring Festival" actually comes from another world.

The rice dumplings of the Dragon Boat Festival, the moon cakes of the Mid-Autumn Festival, as well as rice cakes, osmanthus sugar, red knots, and lanterns...... Items with heavy elements from another world appear one after another. The people were amazed by these "innovations" of the emperor, but many officials were worried that the emperor was intoxicated with such "toys", believing that this was a sign of the waste of government affairs. No matter who expressed their opinion on this, Su Hao was always silent and smiled. What surprised the people of Rabangka the most was that in the twentieth year of the imperial calendar, the emperor ordered strict regulations on the national flag and national emblem.

The flag is black, and the pattern is a red dragon with teeth and claws. As for the national emblem, it is also the same species, and the shape has been changed to a positive image, the same color, and the incomparably majestic five-clawed coiled dragon.

The emperor demanded that these things be fixed forever in the form of law. Even in the most remote mountainous areas, schools are required to include a section on the country's image in their curricula.

In the fifty-second year of the imperial calendar, someone invented the first wooden airplane and successfully ascended to the sky.

Skirmishes between the two fortresses against the Central Mountains continued. According to all the battle statistics over the years, the Empire has hunted more than three million mutated creatures. Flintlock pistols were no longer suitable for mountain combat, and the Imperial military began to gradually equip them with rifles that used standard bullets.

Time is the devil that torments humanity and psychology the most. The "worker bees" who followed Su Hao from the earth have adapted to the world of Rabangka, where everyone has found their own mate, many have become families, and some people like to find novelty between different objects.

Tong Yanfeng is now the supreme minister of the Imperial Ministry of Defense and a well-known duke. According to the relevant decrees issued by the emperor, the title is only a status symbol of the Red Dragon Empire. In the world of Rabangca, no nobleman can own a fief. However, this may change as technology continues to advance. Su Hao has always believed that at some point in the future, even if he doesn't find the secret between the black energy and the channel inside the pyramid, he will still have the opportunity to use something like an interstellar ship to return to Earth. After all, the triangular three-dimensional map brought by Qin Wuyi was actually a cosmic star map. It has the coordinates of the planet Rabangka with the Earth. Although it is not clear how far the distance between the two is, as long as the life of himself and the "worker bee" continues, there will always be a day when they will return home.

Qin Wuyi belongs to the kind of person who is more open to things. In the second year after the end of the Kingdom War, he chose a beautiful young girl from among the commoners to be his wife. Time flies, and the beautiful girl has now become a young woman. The unique structure of the planet Rabangka allows humans to age more slowly than Earth. But death is still an inevitable problem. All things considered, the normal physiological lifespan of the aborigines here is about 300 years. How far is the distance, but as long as the life of himself and the "worker bee" continues, there will always be a day to go home.
