Chapter 1316: The Fire Department's Plan

"Wait, he's not a volunteer who's short of medicine, is he? This time I'll go with you! I'll try it myself! I don't believe that if the other four succeed, I won't. But I have a condition! I hope my uncle can come and help monitor me. And my ancestor, I hope to let the Red Dragon King come and watch."

"I think, except for the Red Dragon King, everything else is easy to deal with." Shangluo said helplessly, "If you agree, this plan will be finalized. I just asked my senior brother."

"Great! It's okay if my master doesn't come. I don't think he will come either."

"I knew it."

He knew that Zheng Shijie would ask for the wall to be demolished first when he made his offer, and he would compromise after the other party refused for the first time. Zhu Xianxun also knew his temper, so he started to compromise directly. What's more, it was unlikely that the Red Dragon King would come, as he had been sleeping all the time. Instead of waiting for him to come, it would be better to let the Taiye Dragon King, Ms. Xiaohong, who was at the door, come and watch.

However, Zhu Xianxun really needs to find someone to test the drug. The new "triple chaos" theory requires a lot of experiments to verify, and it is really important to have someone who knows everything about it. Because if something goes wrong, it is easier to "clean up" with someone you know.

"So, I am willing to hand over the Lan Fang Company - by the way, does the imperial court want to use this opportunity to reduce the power of the feudal lords?"

"That's not the case." Shangluo explained directly, "In fact, we want to help you change your fiefdom. There are some new businesses that need you to handle. So the court hopes that you, as the Marquis of Yanping, will be separated from Lanfang's affairs so as to complete the substantive unification of the earth."

This is crucial because the imperial court does not want another sovereign state to appear on the sacred Earth of Kongo. As a vassal, Lan Fang actually has considerable sovereignty. So at that time, it will not only reclaim the sovereignty of the technological barbarians, but also the sovereignty of the vassal.

The entire King Kong Earth will take new steps towards the universe after achieving complete unification.

"So the court is going to expand the scope of the royal domain? Or is it just going to abolish the vassal states?"

"It's the latter." Shangluo replied, "Abolishing sovereignty does not mean that the court will change the entire Earth into a state of rule. The court will use a new system to manage other regions on Earth, such as sending out commissioners. The template for the transformation is the Protectorate. The subordinate technological barbarians can maintain autonomy at the city-state level, just like the city-states under the Western Regions Protectorate."

"Ah, the court is really kind." Zheng Shijie couldn't help but admire, "Then where should I go next?"

"Mars." Shangluo replied, "The south is associated with fire, so the court hopes that you will develop Mars on a large scale. I am just conveying your opinion. This is not my decision. It was made by my senior brother."

"Mars? That's so far away, the farthest terrestrial planet. But it's true, Lanfang is also a remote place. Never mind, I don't plan to go to Mars anyway, I can just claim the fiefdom remotely. At worst, I can follow the example of my ancestor Zheng Yi Guan. Oh no, my ancestor Guo Xing, who was successful, and recruit immigrants to develop Mars. The Ministry of Fire should be on Mars, it's very reasonable."

Shangluo also conveyed the future arrangements for Marquis Yanping - this is actually not just for the purpose of "unifying" the earth.

If the Yanping family had always ruled Nanyang, their affiliation would have always been to the imperial court rather than the heavenly court. However, if they were enfeoffed to heaven, their affiliation would officially shift from the imperial court to the heavenly court.

In other words, they would temporarily become Shangluo's subordinates. After the establishment of the Heavenly Palace, Shangluo planned to withdraw from the front-line management - he did not intend to be the Jade Emperor, and this position was reserved for Zhu Xianxun. At that time, the relationship between the monarch and the minister would be restored.

However, at present, Shangluo can intervene more in Lanfang's affairs through the jurisdiction of the Fire Department. This is also the decision he made after discussing with Zhu Xianxi.

Because Lan Fang's space affairs accounted for half of the empire, the court needed to manage this half in order to continue to maintain control over the world in the future. And more importantly, the current combat plan for the moon also required Lan Fang's participation.

"Oh, right." Zheng Shijie said, "Since we are going to attack the moon as well, how about we make some small changes to the plan?"

Shangluo was waiting for him to say this: "What do you think of Guoxing?"

"I think if we just send a combat squadron up there, it will lack some deterrent power. I think we should organize warships to go up there!"

"How do we set it up?"

"We can't send out too many Water Dragons in a short period of time. But we can use the Water Dragon as the main body, and then launch the rest of the battleship through cannons, and finally dock in orbit. But there is a problem. The Water Dragon is a cylinder, which is actually just a shell and does not have complete combat capabilities. If we want to form a battleship in a short period of time, we may need some more complete cores. Do you have any ideas?"

"If you put it that way, yes." Shangluo nodded. He did have an unfinished warship in his hands.

"You have it? Wait, the Lianshan? The Lianshan is in your hands, right? We want to turn the Lianshan into a space battleship?"

"In the short term, this is the only realistic plan. We have to hurry because the moon rabbits on the moon have discovered us. If we don't capture them in a short time, they may retreat back into the moon and escape."

"Wait, wait, wait. Here's the first problem. The Suiryu is only 500 metric tons, just an empty shell. The full load displacement of the Lianshan is 8 metric tons! How do we launch such a big thing?"

"As for the general method, there really isn't one. However, we do have some Vulcan devices on hand. If we deploy the Vulcan devices on the Lianshan and then lift up the bow of the Lianshan, it should be possible."

"Wait. What if the launch fails? I mean, it could be launched into deep space where we can't find it."

"We actually have two chances. Lianshan has a sister ship, Guizang. If one of Lianshan and Guizang fails, there's still the other one. As long as we succeed, the rest will be fine, right?"

"Of course. We can launch a huge amount of payload into space in a short period of time, and then convert every cannon of the Lianshan into a mass accelerator. When our warship is completed, let alone the Moon Rabbit on the moon, we will be able to absolutely crush all other forces on Earth from a high position. As for those technological barbarians, we can use cannons to send them into space one by one."
