Chapter 450: Search

The more he knew, the more stupid Meng Qi found himself. The worship of Su Hao has also reached an unprecedented height.

Meng Qi began to be more than just a businessman, he preached to everyone he came into contact with, and asked others to face the Red Dragon Emperor with a more pious attitude, that is, his master Su Hao.

This change in thinking is extremely subtle. Forcing others to accept it with absolute power can achieve a similar effect, but it cannot produce a sense of identity and resonance.

Initially, Meng Qi was equally unimpressed by the slogan of "emancipating the slaves". As the area under the control of the rebel army became larger and larger, and more and more slaves were freed, Meng Qi really felt that this was an unprecedented and unprecedented change. Strictly speaking, the actual benefits received by slaves were not much. They were given the right to subsistence and citizenship, owned private property, and had the same rights as the nobility. But in essence, it still belongs to the ruled class. "Freedom" is always relative. Even if you change your status from a slave to a peasant, you still need to pay taxes, you still have to obey the laws of the state, and you still have to act according to the will of the supreme ruler.

Few people except the top ruling class can see through the difference.

Many people are cheering: the world will be a better place.

Meng Qi was dumbfounded by this change. He had never seen so many people identify with a person so passionately. For Su Hao, the ruler who proposed the concept of "emancipation", the support of the slaves reached an unprecedented madness. And this uncompromised allegiance has never been shown in any king or nobleman.

It's dawn.

Su Hao slowly walked into the hall as usual.

This is part of the outer perimeter of the King's Palace. It was originally designed to be a large open space next to the palace stables. Su Hao demanded that this place be built into a palace with a very high dome, surrounded by stone arches with good sound amplification effect, and there were no extra utensils except for the stone throne and table placed in the center.

Su Hao would receive ten civilians here every day. This is the first time in the history of Rabangka that this kind of pro-people gesture is made. Although he, the emperor, was only an arrogance in the eyes of the nobles, a typical example of killing the throne, no matter what, Su Hao was crowned an emperor at a public ceremony after all.

The reason for this is not to pretend.

Su Hao is from Earth. He is well aware of why corruption arises in the civilized societies of the earth. Yes, the first group to rule can be incorruptible. Especially in the early days of construction, there are many examples of selfless struggle and forgetting death. However, with the continuous material enrichment of society, lazy thinking has gradually become the core of consciousness, and people are no longer concerned with spiritual goals, but are completely dominated by material desires. Just like the well-known period of history, how fragile the foundations of the original group of people were, and their real situation was no different from that of beggars. They gritted their teeth and persevered, sweating hard every minute and every second, and working frantically with a spirit of selflessness. They eventually succeeded, survived the most difficult times, seized national power, and developed step by step to build a great country. Looking back, almost all of the problems were solved by respectable people with their hands, toil, and blood.

The names of those people are engraved in stone, but their names will always be remembered by posterity.

The descendants of those people also carved their names in stone, but the influence of the world on them is very vague and even impressed.

Later, in the period before the outbreak of the virus, the descendants of those people had reached a point where the world was angry and hated. The reason is simple, they no longer abide by the last words and traditions of their ancestors, they do not know how to share and be fair, and they are becoming more and more greedy, more and more crazy, and more and more cruel.

Past experience made Su Hao understand that it doesn't take much strength to destroy an empire. With just a few greedy officials, the seemingly majestic and impregnable walls will collapse like sand sculptures on the beach.

Not everyone can be a "worker bee". If you want more people to have a sense of identity, you must pay attention to every link. Especially now, in the early days of the Empire, it is difficult for the voices of the common people to have unpredictable consequences if they are ignored.

The first person to meet was a middle-aged woman in her forties with a sad face. She was in tattered clothes and carrying a child about the age of her life.

Women and their husbands were slaves, and men belonged to the Fourth Legion and were soldiers who were added to the regular battle sequence. Half a year ago, during the attack on the country of Saffir, the man was killed in battle. According to the system, as a widow, the woman was given a hundred acres of arable land near the village east of the city of Maca, as well as a large pension. However, the woman never received a penny, and the cultivated land was not fertile land close to the village, but a barren mountainous area more than thirty miles away from the village.

"The man who went on the expedition with my husband secretly told me that the pension and arable land had actually been paid to the village council. The money was privately divided by the village chief and others, and the cultivated land was also exchanged for their own private property. ”

The woman was very frightened, especially the clerk standing next to the throne, and she was full of fear and vigilance. Su Hao kept smiling and gave a few encouraging glances from time to time. The woman gradually calmed down, stopped stammering, and spoke more fluently. At the very least, it can be understood.

Su Hao immediately ordered an armed task force to be sent by the General Security Bureau of the Imperial Capital to station in the village where the woman was located to find out what happened and the truth. Those who dare to privately divide pensions and cultivated land will be severely punished and will not be tolerated.

The woman left with a thousand thanks. The next audience became a gray-haired old man, and the object of his appeal was a small official, and the reason for the matter was also greedy for money.

Su Hao deals with these things every day. It's not that he's idle and boring, but he has to make a show to make the commoners feel that the emperor is not so high, but really by his side, and he is a person who can protect his own interests.

In the early days of the earth's "bee colony", Su Hao did almost that. It's just that the number of people who came into contact at that time was far less than now, and things were not so complicated, but were accused of being in a very narrow range.

But no one can deny that this approach is indeed very effective in winning public opinion. At the very least, the commoners knew who the emperor was, knew what the emperor looked like and what he looked like, and not like the previous kings and nobles, who only knew the name, had a vague concept, and could not play a real role.

The process of processing the 10 claimants was not complicated, and it took only about an hour. All visitors were required to queue up before they were allowed to do so. The whole process of the audience was accompanied by two clerks, and the reasons for the incident and the final results were all sent to the Imperial Propaganda Department in the form of documents, and the most extensive propaganda was carried out among the civilians in the villages and cities.

The image of a great and glorious leader was born. And what Su Hao did was just move his lips.

The propaganda effect was very obvious, and in many places under the rule of the empire, there were daily cries such as "Long live the emperor". Especially those slaves who gained freedom and property, they elevated Su Hao to the same status as the gods. They called Su Hao the "Holy Emperor", or "our Emperor".

……

Winters in the Central Mountains are unusually cold. Qin Wuyi's feelings about this were very obvious.

The village of Sabanggawiang Mosin is no longer what it used to be. In just over a year, the entire village has changed dramatically. The perimeter of the wooden fence was reinforced twice, and the perimeter was given a wall made of hard stone. Every ten meters or so, you can see a guard tower more than fifty meters high. Tower Hill is equipped with powerful long-range bows and crossbows, and five archers are responsible for the defense. Last summer, a black sticky object was found in a ravine outside the village, and after Qin Wuyi and others identified it, it must have been asphalt produced by the oxidation of underground oil seeping into the ground. Since then, the long-range defense technology of the village of Sabang Garwi Angmosin has added another rocket.

The area of the village has expanded about three times. According to different functions, it is divided into residential areas, industrial areas and warehouses. Led by Qin Wuyi and three other "worker bees", the natives of Sabang Gawiang Mosin village finally began farming outside the village. This production model is similar to Su Hao's original operation in the village of Molizaka. The only difference is that Su Hao found Meng Qi, the guy who led him out of the mountain, while Qin Wuyi and the other three were not so lucky.

The central mountain range is simply too big. The size of Qin Wuyi's squad was far inferior to the vanguard led by Su Hao. The only thing they can do is to keep familiar with the surrounding area under the slow and orderly map exploration, and preserve their strength to the fullest.

Qin Wuyi couldn't remember how many times he had encountered mutants besieging the village. There don't seem to be any other animals in this damn world, just monsters in human form. The natives of Sabang Gawiang Mosin Village have always regarded them as food, and Qin Wuyi and others are naturally not exempt from vulgarity.

Without the beta-level evolution potion configured by Su Hao, Qin Wuyi and the others could only maintain the state of an alpha evolutionary person, and could not obtain the special ability to obtain relevant memories from food. But in terms of combat effectiveness, it is enough to maintain a strength advantage over mutants.

Priest Rakatuno bowed his head to Qin Wuyi. He firmly believed that Qin Wuyi and the others were warriors foreshadowed by the gods, and these strangers who appeared from the passage also showed great strength. If it weren't for them, at least a third of the people in the village of Sabang Gawiang Mosin would have died last winter. Now, the total number of villagers has exceeded 5,000, and there are more and more signs.

Just like what Su Hao had done in Molizaka Village, Qin Wuyi also encountered many scattered small villages in the process of exploring the surrounding areas. He brought the scattered villagers together and slowly built a huge and strong fortress with the village of Sabang Gawiang Mosin as the core.

Wang Qinian's inference is correct, the world of Rabangka is indeed a planet with gravity far exceeding the normal standard of the earth. The primitive machine tool manufactured according to this concept has become the most important logistical pillar of Qin Wuyi. He used the river near the village of Guò and geothermal heat to generate electricity to drive the primitive lathe. From crude iron to real steel, Qin Wuyi spent nearly half a year. Today, a small steel-making furnace is erected in the industrial area of Sabanga Angmosin, where the small forge produces a steady stream of bullets in addition to batches of well-made cold weapons.

The weapons and firearms that Qin Wuyi carried were all specially made. The weapons made of special materials by the fat dean showed no signs of non-combat wear and tear that Su Hao had experienced in the world of Rabangka. Despite this, Qin Wuyi always felt very sorry for these weapons that were missing one piece. But the only thing he could do was to make a large, sturdy shotgun with a barrel from the small machine tools available, and then prepare the gunpowder in the most common way.

The rest of the world is also characterized by enormous density. Qin Wuyi found the fire nitrate and sulfur very smoothly, and the gunpowder formula still used the same substances on the earth. However, the first shot, Qin Wuyi and the others were completely shocked.

The barrel is machined by a small machine with a diameter of about two centimeters. This, of course, is to ensure projectile lethality and impact. Activating the gunpowder produced a huge shock, and although Qin Wuyi was an alpha evolutionary, he still felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and it hurt hotly. As the smoke from the muzzle of the gun cleared, he was horrified to see that the huge tree that had been the target had broken off from the middle and fell to the side with a scalp-tingling crack.

For the first time, Qin Wuyi developed a sense of awe for the world of Labangka. He was surprised to find that if he extrapolated from the density of matter, the effects of the weapons produced here would far exceed that of Earth. To put it simply, 100 kilograms of explosives can reach the explosive equivalent of one ton of TNT on Earth, perhaps more.

If the explosive components are further purified, it can even produce an explosive power similar to that of a nuclear bomb. The only difference between the two is the length of time the radiation effect remains.

Throughout the summer, Qin Wuyi was marshalling the villagers of Sabanggawiang Mosin Village, teaching them how to fight, how to cooperate with each other in a collective way, rather than fighting alone and being savage and stupid. These fighting and fighting techniques from Earth are very effective. Qin Wuyi got more than five hundred strong warriors. And these are just the professional armies formed by the villagers of Sabang Gawiang Mosin. If the reserve part of the grouping of the appropriate age group is also included, at the moment of crisis, Qin Wuyi can pull out a strong army of more than three thousand people.

The yield of Sok tubers is huge, and this crop can be regarded as the well-deserved king of food in the world of Rabangka. Even from the discerning eyes of Earth's civilization, the Thork tuber is still a superfood. It requires little labor during cultivation, is rich in starch, and can be cooked in a variety of ways, making it suitable for a variety of people. And most importantly, it can be stored for a long time without spoiling.

This thing is very similar to the taro on the earth, which is also the biggest reason why Qin Wuyi admires the villagers of Sabang Gawiang Mosin. These indigenous adults have been feeding on Sok tubers for many months, and they have not gotten tired of eating. I've been eating here for a year, and I'm already feeling like I'm going crazy. This is no joke, Sock tubers have a faint fishy smell and are difficult to digest. Although it is enough to satisfy the stomach, the stomach always feels very strong, and it is quite difficult to defecate.

Wheat and rice brought from the earth have begun to be sown on a large scale. They are surprising variations. However, Qin Wuyi was not a botanist after all, and no matter how big the wheat grain was, it was far less important than the task he shouldered.

There has been no news from Su Hao's team. Qin Wuyi attributed this to the fact that the surrounding environment of Sabang Garwiang Mosin Village was too closed. He used a primitive lathe to build a signal transmitter, and the transmitting base station was set up at the top of the pyramid in the village. The content of the message is the signal that Su Hao agreed with Wang Qinian when he left the earth. But since last year, there has been no response.

The general direction has long been figured out. The east, north, and west sides can be explored, but the mountains in the south are a dead end. It is part of the Central Mountains, with hordes of mutants. According to rough estimates, Qin Wuyi and the villagers have killed at least thousands of mutants in the past year, but their numbers have not decreased in the slightest. Every time you go into the mountains to search, you can find newcomers in almost all the destroyed mutant villages.

Sometimes they are a few alone, sometimes they are groups of hundreds. These monsters are about the same fighting power as the indigenous villagers, but they are more ferocious and cruel, and they are not afraid of death.

Qin Wuyi tried to advance deeper into the mountain range, but encountered a more powerful mutant. In that battle, except for the four seriously wounded, all the more than 30 armed villagers who accompanied them were killed. Although Qin Wuyi's personal strength was strong, he was unable to rescue everyone in a complex environment, and could only watch as those agile monsters kidnapped the villagers, and the terrible screams continued to echo in the depths of the dense forest.

The search for three other directions was similarly hampered by reality. In the course of exploring one after another, you will always find indigenous villages of various sizes. Everyone understands that power can only become strong when it is concentrated. But when it comes to doing it, it's much more difficult than you imagined. And the biggest headache is still food.

From a small village of hundreds of people to the present day, the village of Sabang Gawiangmosin has spent a long year in a state of semi-starvation. Sock tubers, mutant corpses, edible wild vegetables...... All the food around the village was searched and dug up, and Qin Wuyi was forced to implement a ration system, only the middle-aged men and women who went out to search and work in the fields could be fed, and the elderly and children were only given the minimum quota to sustain their lives. It is thanks to this callous approach that the entire village has been able to survive until now.

As in Su Hao's initial situation, there was no food, so naturally there was no long-distance search.

(I sincerely advise all readers, don't go to Puzhehei Scenic Area when you come to Yunnan to travel, the staff almost beat the tourists to death, for the sake of life, stay away from this black-hearted scenic spot.) But there are many more difficulties than expected. And the biggest headache is still food.
