Chapter 80: Rome, Rome, Rome! (6k)

"The history of science is a great and romantic epic."

"Rome won't end!"

Old Roman calendar, the final battle.

The ancient and holy Roman Empire has finally come to an end.

The decisive battle between Constantinople, the ancient Roman Empire, which is regarded as the orthodox capital of eternity, is coming to an end.

Constantinople, the capital of the Roman Empire, which once dominated the pride of the world's civilization and dominated it, has been burned in a raging fire.

The Purple Hall, where emperors, queens, and consuls were born, as well as the ancient Grand Opera House, were reduced to ashes.

The incomparably glorious Imperial Palace of Constantinople, which was considered impassable in the age of cold weapons, and the walls protected by the Roman scarab guards collapsed in flames known as the "Demon Fire".

The result of all this is the invention of a demonic weapon called the "White Phosphorus Incendiary Bomb" by scientists.

Back in the days of the ancient Greek city-states, one of the origins of incendiary grenade tactics was the casting of fire oil formulated as top secret in sealed jars and thrown as weapons.

"Greek fire", a weapon that can burn on the surface of the sea, was once one of the powerful trump cards of the Roman Empire in ancient Rome.

The Greek fire was loaded into a wooden pipe covered with brass, and with its expansion force and the pressure of the water, a jet was created to shoot the Greek fire to a certain distance.

Fill the Greek fire in an clay pot and throw it when it comes close to an enemy.

Burn to death with Greek fire all enemies who dare to defy the great monarch!

The soldiers wounded by the Greek fire once described the terrible situation as follows:

"Whenever the enemy attacks us with Greek fire, all we do is to kneel down and pray to Heaven for deliverance."

"Even if you jump into the sea, you will be burned alive."

The ancient Roman Empire lasted for thousands of years, and this incendiary weapon played a large role.

At that time, no one could have imagined that the holy and ancient Roman Empire would eventually be destroyed by the incendiary bombs it had made.

The idea of science, along with the mass extinction caused by the Black Death, quickly swept across the continent of Europa.

People began to disbelieve in God and chose to believe in the power of science.

Physicists began to calculate, depicting the trajectories of the stars in the sky and the true appearance of the earth beneath their feet.

The Age of Discovery officially began, with the discovery of new continents and the beginning of the colonial era.

The Roman Empire, which had completed the unification of Europa and even the known civilized world with the power of "Greek Fire", also lost its secrets.

Far more powerful than Greek fire, the White Phosphorus Incendiary Bomb was invented by scientists from a chemical laboratory.

White phosphorus burns as soon as it comes into contact with oxygen, emitting a yellow flame and emitting a thick smoke.

It is characterized by its ability to fully burn in a small or low-density space, and the temperature of general combustion can reach more than 1000 degrees Celsius, which is enough to destroy all living organisms within an effective range.

It burns continuously after touching the object until it is extinguished. ….

Therefore, when it comes into contact with the human body, the flesh will penetrate and then penetrate deep into the bones, where it will be truly burned to ashes.

No matter how strong the will, no matter how well-trained and strong the flesh is, it is meaningless in the face of white phosphorus incendiary bombs.

The white phosphorus incendiary bomb thrown by the most humble hand can also easily kill the strongest champion knight of the royal family.

This led to the collapse of the Roman Empire, which had dominated the world for thousands of years.

For the first time, the knights found that their steel plate armor could no longer protect themselves.

The blazing fire of white phosphorus easily devoured the knight's era like a demon, and the former scarab guards were also vulnerable in the face of white phosphorus incendiary bombs.

People fearfully called this preparation easier than the "Greek fire" that the Roman royal family had passed down for thousands of years, and was scientifically studied

The white phosphorus found in the house is the "devil's powder".

The white phosphorus bomb was very harmful, but the evil of human nature caused this weapon to quickly spread to the entire Old World, and with the division within the Roman royal family, Rome, the world's great unified empire that had lasted for thousands of years, finally collapsed.

After the death of the previous Roman emperor, the chief consul Augustus XIII, the first alternate princess, Princess Margaret, and the second alternate Roman, Prince Roman, publicly tore their faces for the next Roman throne.

The first candidate, Princess Margaret, the princess born in the Purple Room, is the most orthodox Roman royal princess and has the unquestionable first inheritance.

Behind it was the aristocratic federal system of the Roman Empire throughout Europa.

But the second alternate Prince Roman also has a staunch ally behind him, and his mother is Her Majesty Anna, the empress of the Tsarist Russian Empire, the strongest empire in the Far East.

The marriage of Her Majesty Anna, the Empress of the Russian Empire, and Augustus XIII is known as a major event that will determine the pattern of the world for the next 100 years.

The camp that supported Princess Margaret, owning eighty percent of Europa, as well as the entire African continent, was undoubtedly Roman orthodoxy.

Europa has a population of 400 million, the African continent has a population of 1 billion, and with the addition of other colonies, the total population is about 1.6 billion.

Thanks to scientists' discoveries of the productive effects of chemical fertilizers on the land, and biologists' multi-generational cultivation of high-yielding crops, the world's population has almost multiplied several times.

And the Far Eastern Tsarist Russian Empire, which supported the Romans, not only owned the entire northern continent of Europa, but also owned the entire Far Eastern continent, and its population was several times that of the entire continent of Europa.

The Tsarist Empire itself, with a population of 200 million.

The Far Eastern continent, as well as all the tropical archipelagos, has a population of nearly four billion and growing.

In order to inherit the name of the holy Caesar Octavian Julius Augustus Constantine, both sides had premeditated and stockpiled astronomical amounts of white phosphorus incendiary bombs.

The pattern of war was completely rewritten after the invention of this incendiary bomb, which was far more terrifying than "Greek fire".

For the first time, the power of science has been used so vividly on the battlefield.

In order to escape from the range of the white phosphorus incendiary bomb, the knights abandoned the steel armor, which symbolizes glory and defense, and chose to be light, and the main weapons they used were no longer spears and shields, but throwing white phosphorus incendiary bombs. ….

War horses still play a pivotal role, and without relying on the speed of war horses, it is almost impossible to escape from the battlefield alive after the white phosphorus bomb burns.

Once knights were staggered with swords and halberds, the sacred and glorious battlefield has completely turned into a hell that burns everything.

White phosphorus incendiary bombs, and their ability to be burned once burned, are almost impossible to extinguish as long as the combustible substance is not burned out, has completely changed the history of mankind.

Millions of troops were deployed on both sides to wage a world war near Constantinople, the symbol of the Roman Empire in Europa.

After the troops in the early stage were exhausted, more troops were recruited from their respective territories, and they continued to fight to the death with red eyes.

White phosphorus incendiary bombs burned tens of millions of people alive in the world war, which lasted about a decade, and burned the once most prosperous region of the Roman Empire into a living hell.

"God, if there really is a God in this world, please grant you mercy!"

"You can't fight like this anymore, the demonic fire will consume everyone and burn the world to ashes."

"What is the meaning of such a war?"

"What science, this is the devil, the devil! What did the scientists who invented this incendiary bomb want the world to become!"

"No, it's not, we understand that phosphorus is just for matchmaking!"

In the pale rebuttal, the scientists and assistants who invented white phosphorus were all sent to the gallows, and the bodies were burned to ashes by white phosphorus incendiary bombs.

In the end, even the two heirs of the divided Roman Empire could not withstand the pressure of world opinion and had to declare an armistice.

White phosphorus incendiary bombs are abused on the battlefield and get nothing.

Fields, mills, churches, everything is so polluted that it is no longer possible to grow crops, it is no longer possible to live in, and the pollution even reaches the aquifer.

One-tenth of the continent of Europa is completely polluted!

Even the wildest careerists have to shake their heads at this kind of war, which consumes only human lives and gains nothing.

The essence of war is the divergence of interests.

The great and sacred name of "Caesar Octavian Julius Augustus Constantine" is the only king of the world recognized by the whole world.

In this war, there is no winner.

Whether it is the orthodox Princess Margaret of the Purple Room, or the prince of Tsarist Russia with Far Eastern blood, they cannot be recognized by everyone and become the supreme "Caesar Octavian Julius Augustus Constantine".

Rome, the great unified empire that dominated the world, was completely divided.

The Tsarist Imperial State, which occupied the northern part of the world and the continents of the Far East, declared itself the legitimacy of Rome and proclaimed itself the Eastern Roman Empire.

Prince Roman, who succeeded his mother to the throne of Tsarist Russia, ascended the throne and called himself the rightful Roman emperor - Roman I.

Princess Margaret, the old Roman royal family, who occupied most of Europa and southern Africa, declared herself the legitimate Roman Emperor.

She reorganized the old Roman Confederation on Europa and named it the "Holy Roman Empire" to distinguish herself from the ridiculous Tsarist throne of the Roman Empire, calling herself Margrethe I. ….

For the nobility of the Old Continent of Europa, there was no doubt that the psychological bias was towards the orthodox Princess Margaret of the old Roman Empire.

However, the strength of the Eastern Roman Empire, the former Tsarist Imperial State, is also genuine, and its population and military strength are beyond doubt.

During the world war that ended the old Roman era, half of the coat of arms of the Europa Noble Confederation disappeared forever.

Politically, Princess Margaret was the heir closer to Roman orthodoxy, with the noblest Purple Hall bloodline.

Militarily, Roman I was a crazier and bloodthirsty executioner, which was also the ambition of successive successors to the Tsarist imperial state.

The Far Eastern realm of the Tsarist Imperial State was expanded by numerous frenzied aggressions.

Thus, the era of the unification of the world by the old Roman Empire came to an end.

The time of opposition between the Holy Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire has arrived.

Because the lessons and pollution caused by the war were so severe, the two Roman empires signed an alliance to ban the use of this weapon.

And on the day of the end of the war that ended the old Roman era, scientists and people, who had been longing for peace for too long, decided to use a new calendar to bid farewell to the terrible "White Phosphorus World War".

The new calendar is named the "Sunshine Calendar", and people are eager to live freely and peacefully under the sun in the new era, the new century.

Probably because of the casualties and heavy costs of the First "White Phosphorus World War", and the certainty that they could not destroy their opponents, the emperors of the two Roman Empires finally chose an armistice.

Under the premise that both sides of the white phosphorus incendiary bomb are available, if they really have to fight to the last soldier, and if the ammunition is exhausted, the civilized areas of the human world may be almost burned to the ground.

There is no doubt that the large-scale and unrestrained use of white phosphorus bombs is such an end.

And back to the cold weapon war mode again, with both sides having such huge populations and colonies, I am afraid that it will not be possible to tell the winner in a hundred years.

The World War of White Phosphorus, with tens of millions of casualties, also caused the two Roman empires to be severely injured and had to choose to recuperate.

From the beginning of the sunny calendar to the 100th century, the human world has finally lived a period of peace.

Science continued to develop, the steam engine was invented, and the era of knights and warhorses came to an end.

A group of liars, vagabonds, who were exiled from the Old World and the Imperial State of Tsarist Russia at the same time, threw to the point where birds do not lay eggs, and where cannibals are everywhere

, the robbers and thugs improvised, and in the tenth year of the solar calendar formed a federal state.

They called themselves "New Rome", which was originally the name of the Old Continent and the Tsarist Russian empire in the Far East, similar to the Clown.

However, with the discovery of various crops in the New World, and the increasing number of bastards who could not stand the rigidity of the Holy Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire, the addition of wandering scholars, the New Rome, which was once ridiculed by everyone, gradually took on a certain shape.

Unable to resist the supremacy of the Holy Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire, some careerists with ulterior motives chose to flee to the New World to conduct research that violated the ethics of the Old World.

The age of steam and steel has arrived. ….

People seem to have forgotten their dislike of science, their fear of white phosphorus incendiary bombs, and have begun to embrace science and truth once again.

The merchants, beginning to amass wealth at a speed that even they could not have believed, to exploit labor and deprive them of surplus value, to acquire property that the old aristocracy, who were still dependent on land revenue, could not earn in their lifetime.

Without the Holy Roman Empire, the rule of the Eastern Roman Empire, the once barren land of the New World, began to flourish.

The railways, ports, and airships built on the bones of countless sweaty workers gave the new Roman Confederation a voice in this world.

History does not record these "costs", so people have the impression that from the end of the White Phosphorus World War, the first year to the 100th year of the solar calendar was the best years in human history.

Mass famine is almost no longer happening, and thriving shipping and railways that continue to create miles have allowed humanity to explore the entire known world.

Art, science, and literature have all developed by leaps and bounds in the past 100 years.

Opera house, dance party, camera, all kinds of exotic food, ice cream, desserts.

The whole world is changing day by day, people are raving about science and truth, and no one believes in God's teachings anymore, abandons the simple and simple life, and immerses himself in the colorful salons.

"Wonderful Times", the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Sunny Calendar, people praised this century and sang the praises of great peace.

Everyone believed that all disputes could be resolved by means of negotiation, and that no matter how great the contradictions, as long as the balance of power between the Holy Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire was maintained, then a way could always be found to balance them.

After all, no one wants to fight another world war of white phosphorus, right?

In order that the tragedy of the White Phosphorus War would never be repeated, the Holy Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire, and the New Roman Confederation, which was simply selling dog meat on the head of a sheep in the eyes of the Old World, almost destroyed the known stocks of white phosphorus.

Matches have also been replaced by brand-new lighters, cheaper, easier to use, and windproof.

At this time, people believed that the power of science would bring happiness to everyone.

Our civilization is thriving.

Sing the praises of the beautiful era, may this beautiful era last for thousands of years, ten thousand years!

The Holy Roman Empire, long live the Eastern Roman Empire, the New Rome forget it, that's a big joke altogether.

Sunny calendar, 100 years, Christmas.

The Eastern Roman Empire, 100% completely reproduced, even the pattern of the flower pot is exactly the same as the old Roman Empire Outside the new purple hall, Roman I of the Eastern Roman Empire is anxiously turning around.

Yes, he is one hundred and twenty-seven years old, and he still looks as energetic as he did a hundred years ago, but with a little more gray in his big black beard.

The first emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire is still alive, and his mother, Her Majesty Empress Anna, has long since been in the coffin.

This is also the reason why, after thousands of years, the old Roman royal family still has an unbreakable position among the nobility of the Old World.

Why, after thousands of years in the old Roman Empire, there were only thirteen "Caesar Octavian Julius Augustus Constantine". ….

Because the royal blood of the old Roman Empire had almost the only bloodline in the world that was considered to be related to "gods".

Almost every orthodox Roman emperor could easily live past the age of one hundred and fifty, and remained energetic until his death, and his appearance did not change much after middle age.

The longest-reigning Roman emperor, the founder of the Roman Empire, Caesar Octavius Julius Augustus Constantine, lived for 300 years.

In the Middle Ages, when the average life expectancy was less than forty years old in the past due to unscientific diet and habits, you can imagine how many people could be shocked.

The orthodox bloodline of the Roman Empire called itself the "family of divine blood", which even the church had to pinch its nose to recognize.

The manifestation of "divine blood" is that descendants who inherit divine blood will have feline-like pupils.

This is easy to see because the pupils of felines are linear, and the retraction of the pupil will be noticeable when stimulated by light, and it will be in a vertical line.

In addition to this, the Divine Blood Inheritor will have extraordinary combat power from a young age, especially speed and explosiveness.

In the era of cold weapons, the Roman emperor with the blood of the gods could even turn the tide of the war with his own strength, and it is definitely not a story to be a thousand.

Only children who exhibit the characteristics of "divine blood" are eligible to inherit the name of "Caesar * Octavius * Julius * Augustus * Constantine".

The cause of that world war was that the generation gave birth to two gods at the same time, Princess Margaret and Prince Roman, who represented different interests and were incompatible with each other.

This is also the reason why the nobles of the Old World, despite their overwhelming support for Princess Margaret, finally had to approve of Roman I's use of the name "Eastern Roman Empire".

He has indeed inherited the rare divine blood blood inherited from generation to generation in the Roman Empire, the pupils that can constantly change colors, and the record of defeating his royal sister Princess Margaret in a one-on-one duel is the best proof.

His only regret was that he was not born in the Purple Hall because his mother, Her Majesty Anna, was born prematurely.

In order to make up for the regret that he was not born in the Purple Hall, he didn't know how many times he wandered in the ancient and sacred garden, and deeply engraved every grass, tree, brick and stone in the Purple Hall into his mind.

The biggest regret in the war with his sister Princess Margaret was also the burning of the Purple Hall.

It's just that he has no other choice.

There are too many people behind him to support him in his struggle for the name of "Caesar Octavian Julius Augustus Constantine".

He was burdened with the expectations of hundreds of millions of people in the Tsarist Imperial State and billions of people in the Far East.

After the destruction of Constantinople, this Purple Room, which was perfectly reproduced according to his memory, became the meat of his heart.

All his concubines, even if they die in childbirth, will die in this purple hall.

Today is the day when one of his concubines gave birth, and it is also the day of the entire empire.

Because, the inheritance of the Divine Blood Family has become more and more rare in his and Margaret's generation.

People were worried about how the two Roman empires would choose their successors if neither Margrethe I nor he had produced offspring with divine blood.

Even scientists who are extremely curious about the mysteries of the immortality of the god's blood also want to keep this rare and perhaps even the only transcendent bloodline in the world.

From a gender point of view, there is no doubt that Roman I had an advantage.

Finally, another fateful moment has arrived!

It's like a lottery against fate, and even the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire can't help but beat his heart faster at this moment.

Ancestors, great "Caesar Octavius Julius Augustus Constantine"!

Let the great Eastern Roman Empire usher in hope again!

"Yikes!"

"Yikes!"

"Meow!"

That last sound, like a heavenly sound, made Roman I, who was already more than a hundred years old, burst into tears.

This iron will

The emperor, a tyrant who had sent millions of people to death in the eyes of others, frantically rushed into the delivery room, then picked up the little one, returned to the hall and held it high for all the courtiers to see.

It was a baby with beautiful golden ears and a tail, looking timidly at this strange world.

It is the undoubted heir of the orthodox divine blood of the ancient and holy Roman Empire, and even the kind with the highest concentration of blood!

"God bless Rome!"

"Long live Rome!"

"It's finally here, the next Roman Emperor!"

"Anna, Anastasia!"

"Heir to my empire!"

Roman I proudly proclaimed to everyone the name of the child.
