Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1430: Carrying out a secret mission
"Now, each of you should explain your name, date of birth, home address, and family situation."

"This is what you want."

"I want to know which of you are suitable for the mission I need you to perform next. I am a kind person and don't want to force you."

Everyone was a little confused. They had just learned a few seconds ago that the Secret Service had changed its owner. But they had no idea who this new owner was.

"It looks like I have to show you the power of Heaven. Let you recognize the appearance of your new master."

The screen behind him flashed with snowflakes, and then switched to the scene of the battleship firing.

High-energy missiles streaked across the sky, carrying destructive rainbow light and heading straight for the core area of ​​Berlin. These 500-kilogram missiles thrown by magic broke through the visible speed limit under extreme acceleration and flew at a nearly imperceptible trajectory.

When it hit the ground, huge kinetic energy was released instantly, causing a violent explosion. The shock wave swept around like a gust of wind, and the high-temperature fireball spread rapidly, engulfing surrounding buildings and lives. The temperature at the center of the explosion soared to thousands of degrees, metal and concrete vaporized instantly, and the shock wave destroyed everything within a few kilometers.

Smoke and fire intertwined to form a rising mushroom cloud. The center of Berlin had been melted.

The shock wave also reached the bunker they were in in time. The ground around the room shook, as if Ragnarok had arrived.

"My home! My wife! My children! They are all in there! What have you done?"

Those who had lost all their minds ran madly towards Shangluo, but what awaited them was only a mighty pressure as vast as that of a god, which suppressed them in an instant.

The irresistible force tore them apart physically and mentally. Pain, humiliation and unwillingness intertwined into shackles, deeply engraved in their souls.

Every struggle only deepened their despair, their will gradually collapsed under the pressure of the immortal, and finally turned into silent sobs. The unrivaled power made them realize their own insignificance.

"It is said that people understand themselves better when they are stripped of everything. I wonder how well you understand yourselves."

With his hands behind his back, Shangluo walked up to them and passed by the kneeling people one by one.

No one dared to speak. Even the most crazy Avenger just now had to kneel there without saying a word.

After a round of inspection, he returned to his starting position.

"Very good, it seems everyone has learned their lesson."

He snapped his fingers, and the scene behind him changed instantly. Sunshine, white clouds, green grass and Berlin appeared on the screen again. Nothing happened.

"I wonder what you think of the special effects just now. Is it very realistic?"

"?????"

Everyone raised their heads.

"Yes, I did. I know you are still at the stage where you get scared when you see a train rushing towards you in a movie. But don't worry, it was all visual effects. We did not open fire, and Berlin was not destroyed. Your families and your beloved city are intact. If you don't believe me, you can go out and see now."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm reducing the cost of our communication." Shang Luo looked at everyone, "As long as I really give the order, the special effects you just saw will become reality in an instant. We will really fire."

"So, nothing happened just now?" Someone wanted to confirm it again.

"Then how about I make it 'happen' and show you what it will be like when it really happens?"

"No, no, no, no! Please don't do this!"

"Very good." Shang Luo looked at everyone, "I have known you all. You all, with a meager salary, are fighting on the front line to protect humanity. No matter where you are from, no matter how humble your origins are, I will show you the best respect I can - yes, this is already my respect. Because I think you are people I can cooperate with."

"Cooperation?" Everyone was stunned. "What can we cooperate on?"

Someone whispered, "I know you have godlike power... but if you are determined to destroy us, what difference does it make between sooner or later?"

"I never meant to destroy you, and I'm not here to kill people. I'm here to negotiate terms," ​​he said in a deep voice. "I demand that your country disarm and submit to our rule. If you agree, all problems can be properly resolved. I'm willing to respect your efforts, so I'm willing to spend some time with you. As for whether or not to save your country, that's up to you."

Everyone was stunned. This sounded like a declaration of war, but the person standing on top was indeed telling all this with a "kind" face. This contrast made everyone at a loss for words.

"It's normal for you to be indecisive. I can understand that. After all, you were actually deceived by the Holy Lie. You thought that the country you were protecting was a world empire, one of the 'great powers' in the world. Your civilization was prosperous, your people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and your national fortune was at its peak. However, the reality is not like that. That was just the fantasy of this country before it died. Please look at the big screen."

On the screen, a large ship is sailing on the sea.

The ship was moving, releasing huge chunks of ice as it went. There were no chimneys or anything like that on the ship emitting exhaust gas, and it seemed as if there was an endless amount of power inside.

"Perpetual motion machine!" People who are sensitive to physics recognized this thing immediately - because it absorbs energy from the environment while discharging ice cubes. This is the typical model of the second type of perpetual motion machine. In this model, the ship can absorb heat from the heat of the atmosphere and seawater through the perpetual motion machine, and the seawater and air that have been absorbed of heat are the source of ice cubes.

A common saying in class is that if the second type of perpetual motion machine is feasible, then large ships at sea can move forward while discharging ice.

And now, there really is such a ship sailing on the sea.

At the same time, a second image was also displayed side by side. It was a neatly lined-up array of automata. Although they looked like humans, they were clearly robots at first glance. These machines moved back and forth on the docks, carrying bread on carts - they might not understand other things, but they could understand bread.

And there is also a space station in space. The huge ring-shaped structure extends in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there is a dock next to it.

In space, in front of the boundless universe, a huge space station stands there. Its huge ring structure expands in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye. It is a steel flower belonging to human civilization.

The ship in the dock was now parked over Berlin, which was exactly what Shangluo had shown at the beginning. Once the ship was operational, it could easily destroy the entire city and turn everything in it into powder.

They didn't doubt the authenticity of this power. But even if it was fake, Prussia's technology was still nothing compared to the technology that could create these illusions. Moreover, no one dared to bet on the authenticity of this thing. What if it was real?
"I'll show you these, that's all. The smart ones among you should be able to see that this is technology that is far beyond your level of civilization. It's probably no different from magic to you. I'm the most peace-loving person among us, and I'm willing to save those of you who are worth saving in advance."

"Are you an angel?"

"You can indeed regard me as an angel," he said to the crowd, "but I do not intend to let you work with me alone - I hope to have a meeting with the King of Prussia."

If you want someone to do you a big favor, you should ask someone to do you a small favor first.

This is a simple and convenient method, because cooperation is based on trust, and trust also comes from cooperation.

The two are nested in each other, and can be stacked up with one foot on top of the other. So if you want to start a cycle of cooperation, then asking the other party to do a small favor is a good way - after all, Shangluo is preparing to ask them to do a big favor later. He doesn't want these people to oppose his country from the beginning, he hopes that this opposition can be generated more slowly and more concretely.

[In the final analysis, you are still kind-hearted? ]

"It's impossible to say that they don't have good intentions. After all, they are living people. Even my senior brother, you can see how he disdains the barbarians. He won't deliberately kill these people. In the final analysis, we all live on Earth. As long as they are willing to recognize the current situation and don't cause trouble to the Heavenly Court, I don't mind letting them exist as barbarians or a higher level of chiefdom."

Being a dog of the Ming Dynasty does not mean that your quality of life will decline.

"There's something I've wanted to say for a long time - being a dog of the Ming Dynasty is the greatest honor. There are many stray dogs out there, running around without knowing who their masters are."

【But if we do as you say, it will indeed bring them prosperity. 】

Because Heaven never intended to gain anything from Germany. Heaven only wanted one thing - don't cause trouble for Heaven!
As a fundamental principle, any country that has sworn allegiance to Heaven should voluntarily disarm.

Without an army, not only can countries stop their hostilities and fundamentally eliminate potential bloody conflicts, but military spending can also become a thing of the past.

If all countries disarm, then human society may be able to enter a brand new era - whether this era is better than the current one, or whether it hides unknown risks, still needs time to test. However, as long as the use of force is eliminated, the world will not be too chaotic.

This is what Shangluo wants. He wants order, an orderly system with distinctions between the ruler and his subjects.

【Come to think of it, North Korea is also to be disarmed? 】

"Of course, this includes North Korea, and the North Korean army must be the first to disarm. As the semi-immortal country closest to the Ming Dynasty, North Korea should set an example and disarm itself first. This is necessary and a symbol of loyalty. North Korea needs to show loyalty more than anyone else."

The current army of North Korea is extremely large. This is because the army of North Korea must respond to the call of the king's army and become an auxiliary force in the army.

The North Korean army has a characteristic - they are good at running, especially long-distance running in the mountains. These North Korean soldiers do not need much training or heavy weapons to maintain excellent combat effectiveness in the mountains. In general, the North Korean army is definitely a cost-effective choice among the royal divisions.

And considering that the North Korean army attaches great importance to the practice of marksmanship, they are very economical in bullets during battles because of their superb archery skills.

It was a pity to completely disband such a useful auxiliary army. However, in the future, the king's army would not need any form of war in the mortal world, so it was disbanded - and the most important reason was that Shangluo felt that the Korean army might not be able to maintain its combat effectiveness for some time to come.

Yi Wan Hei is just as what King Li Mu of Joseon showed: At present, fear of death and survival have formed a balance, and many people have developed their own views on life and death. Most people do not want to die, but they will not let fear of death affect their daily lives.

But if they all gained immortality, their views on life and death would certainly change - when they knew that they could live forever as long as they did not die, I am afraid no one would be willing to join an army where they might actually die.

In order to avoid embarrassing North Korea in the days ahead, Shangluo was prepared to take the initiative to ask North Korea to disband its army so as to avoid large-scale chaos in the army due to the change in the view of life and death.

[What will happen to this world next? ]

"I plan to establish a transnational paramilitary organization that is open to both immortals and mortals, regardless of race. This is the only organization in the entire world that will be preserved in the mortal world. Many celestial beings will participate, but the backbone should be mortals. The target of this paramilitary organization's operations should be the spirit world."

Shangluo discovered that no matter how many troops he dispatched, it would be of little use in the face of the spirit world, because it was an invisible and intangible enemy.

The best way is to create a protective umbrella for mortals in the form of a special service organization.

"When the King's Master ascends to heaven and the armies around the world are disbanded, this organization will protect the mortals on our behalf. After all, the Heavenly Army cannot be dispatched at any time and sent to all parts of the world, otherwise it will be endless."

"You plan to recruit them into this organization?"

"I think their work experience in the Secret Service makes them very suitable for this organization. After all, I prefer to directly recruit these professionals with work experience rather than recruiting some strange people temporarily."

Moreover, the nature of the work is indeed very similar, and they work for this purpose.

All that remained was to sever their affiliation from Prussia.

"I didn't lie to them. I did leave them a good path - as long as they obey my orders and protect humans from the threats of the spirit world, those who have made outstanding military achievements will be blessed. Perhaps, it is not impossible to be granted a semi-immortal body."
