Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1271 "Byzantine" Emperor

Briefly, Shangluo began to play the PPT content on the screen.

Because Archimedes had just introduced himself, Shangluo did not play the detailed presentation on the PPT, but started with the introduction of Lan Fang Company.

"Interesting." Archimedes asked, "So the Lan Fang Company is a sovereign entity whose main motivation is economic activities? Is this system legal in Aurora?"

"Yes." Shangluo replied, "The Lan Fang Company has obtained a special charter from the court, so Lan Fang can do this. Moreover, the court usually only pays attention to its own affairs and does not interfere in the affairs of the princes."

"Oh!" Archimedes raised his hands. "I originally thought that you were power-mad control freaks like the Romans, but I didn't expect that China showed the glory of civilization. In you, I see the 'philosopher-kingdom' that the Greek sages dreamed of. This kingdom of heaven has been established on earth, just as the sages Plato and Aristotle said. I think the two of them must have been China people for a long time! At least China people in spirit."

"Well, maybe." Shangluo had talked to them before. They had a very good impression of the current Ming Dynasty, at least much better than Rome. This might be the beauty created by distance. However, Shangluo did not intend to expose this beauty for the time being. It was easier to do things by keeping this distance.

"Then, Mr. Shangluo, may I ask you a question - do you believe that there are other lives outside the universe?"

"Maybe." Shangluo thought for a moment, "The universe is so big, even if we enumerate everything in the universe, there will always be other life forms - at least that's what I think."

"Is it possible that extraterrestrial life is closer than you think? For example, on the moon?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Whenever I look up at the starry sky, I can't help but look at the moon. Do you know that there are many elves living in places we can't see? And in your body, it seems that there is such a 'lens'. When I was lucky enough to peek at the scene on the moon, there were so many rabbits. Why are there so many rabbits?"

"Are you talking about this?" Shangluo took out the golden elixir he got from Xu Fu from his pocket.

"Oh, yes, that's it. From another angle, there are more rabbits than before."

"Ah," Shangluo thought for a moment, "So you mean, this thing is on the moon?"

"It is absolutely true, my lord. This thing looks like the moon, but the moon that is right in front of us is like a reflection in a pond. It is born from moonlight and is not the real moon, but only its projection. However, this constraint seems to be two-way, and everything I see seems to be constrained to a specific position - on the shadow of the moon."

"The shadow of the moon? You mean, on the dark side of the moon? But shouldn't the moon and the earth be tidally locked? This means that the moon always has only one side facing the earth, and the earth cannot be seen from the dark side of the moon."

"So, it's like seeing the dark side of the moon in a mirror that you can't see normally. Peeping is a two-way thing. Maybe those moon rabbits are also setting up a mirror in the sky to spy on the earth."

[Wait, is it true that the Xu Fu's Hall of Eternal Life that we visited before is on the moon? Then wouldn't our trip there and back be equivalent to landing on the moon? ]

"If landing on the moon counts as landing on the moon, then it probably counts, but I still find it hard to believe that the place I went to before was the moon. Unless..." [Unless what?]

"When I was teasing Xu Fu before, I asked him to build a roller coaster park for me to play. I remember that a large part of the roller coaster has not been dismantled. If we can find those roller coasters on the back of the moon, we can probably determine the location of the Moon Palace."

[Then how do we get up there? ]

Shangluo looked at Archimedes the Sage: "So, you already have an idea, right?"

"Yes, everyone." Archimedes suggested, "Since we are going to launch it, we hope to let the satellite carry out some experiments after it is launched, including taking pictures of the dark side of the moon. This process is quite complicated and also very valuable for testing. Because this is to test whether the Vulcan device can help us put other gravity systems into orbit."

This is very important indeed, because a large part of the reason for aiming the Vulcan into the sky is to try to use the Vulcan core to make an interstellar jump.

And if you just rush forward like crazy, then there is no point in jumping out. Because if you can't locate yourself, it would be impossible to return to Earth in the vast sea of ​​stars.

So this time, the plan of the Syracuse Academy of Sciences is to verify whether the Vulcan device is controllable by photographing the lunar surface.

"Then there may be these difficulties." Shangluo thought for a while, "First, whether the jump process can be positioned, whether the position can be controlled at extremely high speeds - secondly, it is low speed. Because the gravity on the moon is very small, if the speed is too fast, it will not be able to enter the lunar orbit, and will only continue to fly into deep space."

"Ah," Zheng Shijie also nodded, "If these experiments can be completed at once, it would be much easier. If it is really possible, then the lunar cannon might also be successful?"

"I have read your plan before." Archimedes looked at Zheng Shijie. "It is really a genius plan. The Syracuse Academy of Sciences once conducted a feasibility study on a similar plan under the name of Daedalus Ladder. This plan was very promising. But the stupid Byzantine Senate stopped our research in the name of 'funding'. I didn't expect that there are fellow travelers on the other side of the earth. I am really relieved."

[What he meant was that Lan Fang was setting off fireworks for him to watch, so he would definitely have to pay for it.]

"But, Sage Archimedes, with the help of the Vulcan Device, we can actually complete the Moon Cannon, right?"

"That's what I've always believed. As long as we innovate technology, we'll never need uninspired rockets again. Humanity deserves better solutions—"

Suddenly, Archimedes in the bathtub was stunned:
"Wait, everyone. I suddenly remembered something. If we can build a lunar cannon on Earth, have you ever considered building a Jupiter cannon on the moon to explore deeper into space?"

"Is this even possible???" Zheng Shijie asked in surprise, "We are going to launch bricks to the moon?"

"Bricks are just fired building materials. Since we have bricks on Earth, we can definitely go to the moon to fire them."
