Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1413 The Decision of the King of the Sea

"Double hull? Isn't a double hull submarine made of two parallel pressure hulls? Then it should be wider."

[These are two shells in the magical sense, with an additional space mode that is only activated on the lunar surface. After that water gate, it is no longer a lunar environment, so the shell on the inner side of the moon will also be automatically released. ]

“Should I re-evaluate the effectiveness and advancement of the Roman industrial system?”

This wasn't the first time he'd discovered that Rome's industrial system was always very sophisticated in some inexplicable ways - and no matter how sophisticated it was, it was ultimately useless.

For example, today they did use the second shell to launch an organized military strike on the surface of the moon, but they were swept back by Wang Shi like shooting a turkey.

This mess of tricks did help Rome improve its adaptability in various situations - but as before, they did have many innovations in the mechanism every time, but the value was too low. The leader of the Imperial Guards could be killed by a truck, which is a clear example.

With the numbers so low, it's useless no matter how fancy the mechanism is.

【Now that I think about it, this is not unrelated to the decline of Rome. After all, these innovations in mechanisms can be accomplished by just thinking about it. But if you want to go further in terms of numerical values ​​and absolute strength, it is impossible to do so without the support of national strength. The Romans went too far on the road of decline. 】

"So, did Atlantis have any autonomous behavior in this process?"

[I'm afraid not. Atlantis is actually just a shadow of the Empire. Although sometimes the shadow itself will have some consciousness, Atlantis actually has no ability to betray the Empire. Well, it should not be. After all, those who come to Atlantis to serve are essentially the Empire's army. ]

"hope so."

Following behind, the Athenian Navy ship Omega 39, on which they were aboard, also entered the walls of Selenepolis - it would be more appropriate to call it a fortress rather than a city.

In the hazy night, the city lights are shining.

The area of ​​this place is about the same size as the San Francisco Acropolis where Shangluo used to live. You can see the end at a glance. The part near the gate is the dock. There are also many buildings in the city, and there are pedestrians walking on the streets. Even in this corner of the world, there are indeed people living their own lives here.

After entering the water gate, the environment here returned to what it should be like on Earth. The submarine that had expanded due to "pressure relief" was now compressed back to its original state and docked on the shore like other submarines.

The pier was slightly lower than the shore. Shangluo went up the ladder, and the edge of the steps was soaked by the mist. On the top floor, a girl with white hair stood there. Shangluo went up the ladder three times, and saw the girl's hair three times.

She stood on the basalt platform at the top, the tranquil silver light shining on the waist of her fish-scale armor, scattering tiny halos on the armor plates.

When he stepped onto the last step, Shang Luo's eyes were level with the girl's. In the backlight, he finally saw the amber pupils. The white-gold hair was similar to the hair color he saw when he first met Phaethon. This was the symbol of a demigod.

"You are here." She turned her eyes to the visitors. The lights of Selenepolis were reflected in the flickering light in her eyes. "Azais, King of the Dry Sea, welcome everyone. Let's be frank. Who are you? Why did you come to my city?"

5 minute later.

"Well. This is a surprise to me. The King of Rome, Basilius of the Greeks, Apollo and Phaethon of our time, and the noble princess from Zhendan. If you had informed me in advance, I would have held a grand welcoming ceremony."

The identities of Shangluo and the others surprised her. They were as calm as they looked, as peaceful as the waves of the Moon Sea.

[Shangluo. Do you feel that this atmosphere is somewhat familiar? 】

"This hair color, this atmosphere is what Phaethon looked like when I first met him. That's right, it's this kind of tranquility that belongs to a demigod, who disdains everything in the world." It's not arrogance, but tranquility. She has her own rules of conduct and is not shaken by external things. This shows Phaethon's obsession and focus on achieving his goals at all costs, but here he seems even quieter.

"Well, everyone. Please explain your purpose."

"We are here to fight against Xu Fu." Shangluo also said straight to the point, "Xu Fu is our traitor. We know Xu Fu is here, and we want to capture Xu Fu."

"You mean, pharmacist. Hmm." Azais nodded, without commenting on Shangluo's suggestion.

"Sir Azais, will you cooperate with us?"

"I'm sorry, but I refuse. And if your goal is to arrest the pharmacist, not only will I not help you, I will have to ask you to leave."

"why?"

"The answer is obvious. The pharmacist is my ally. The soldier who led you here has made it very clear to you. I have an appointment with the pharmacist. He is under my protection and is conducting his own research on this moon sea. I need his medicine to save Her Majesty Victoria."

"I don't need your saving," Victoria replied.

"Saving you has nothing to do with you." Azais responded calmly and firmly, "The emperor of the Greeks must be saved, regardless of your will."

"Why are you being unreasonable?"

[Ah, that's right, demigods are all unreasonable. 】

Phaethon touched his forehead and said, "So I was like this before."

Shangluo nodded and said, "Yes, that's what you are like."

"Then I am really sorry for you. But if you can deal with me, you can naturally deal with her too."

Shang Luo took a step forward and said, "Sir Azais, I think we should discuss this issue from the perspective of strength. We are much stronger than you, and you can't stop us at all."

"Really? Perhaps." Azais looked at the city. "Then, please do as you please. If you want to break the covenant, please go ahead."

"Breaking the covenant? Is there such a thing?"

[Wait, let me look through it. Ah! Yes, yes! Just like Atlantis will work for Rome, Rome cannot threaten the existence of Atlantis.]

"So that's how it is." Shang Luo moved his arms, unbuttoned the robe of his phlogiston stealth suit, took out the black round-necked robe he used in Yingtian and put it on. "Now, do you still recognize who I am?"

"Wait. You're not the King of Rome?"

[Sure enough. She was just like Phaethon at that time, she recognized people by their vests.]
