Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1443: The Fall of Rome
"How about you try it first, Governor Yuan?"

Shangluo planned to let Governor Yuan take a test drive. Although it was not a real experience, he could feel the feeling of being separated from the outside world by a barrier with the help of the mirage.

"I don't know how to describe it, but I feel like my entire quality of life seems to have declined. But it's much better than I thought."

"That's very kind of you - to be honest, it's a big drop. I know that."

Although Shangluo himself had not experienced this feeling, he had communicated with those Roman soldiers.

It is certainly not a good experience when your soul is stuffed into a suit of armor and you can only feel the world around you through the armor.

This experience is actually very bad, because as Governor Yuan said, this will cause an all-round decline in the quality of life - the hearing, smell, taste, vision, etc. that were felt in the past will all experience an all-round weakening here.

In terms of hearing, the intuitive description of what Shangluo heard was "like listening to sounds under water."

Visually, it will be distorted, just like looking at things above the water from the bottom of the water.

The taste is like eating in water, and the tongue can only feel some fragmented tastes.

Those Roman soldiers could go to Cybelenia to rest and only wear this when on a mission. But for Governor Yuan, he would have to stay in there for the next period of time.

This is indeed very uncomfortable, and it is understandable that Governor Yuan said it was unbearable.

"No, no, no, I really think it's pretty good."

"Why?" Shangluo wondered, "I think objectively speaking, it is really uncomfortable."

"Because I wore it to take office, it was different."

[Ah] Apollonia understood, [Power is the best thing. Think of it as the best painkiller. It is indeed true.]

Shangluo also found that he seemed to have not considered one thing - those Roman soldiers found this unbearable, fundamentally because they were actually workers of the Roman army, and they could not control their own future. They wore this suit simply to suffer and bring pain to others.

But it was another matter entirely for Governor Yuan. He wore this suit not to suffer, but to rule.

The place where he was about to take office was the Beiting Grand Commandery. He would carry the royal flag and the Shangfang sword with him when he took office. In theory, he had the power to kill anyone during his tenure. In case of an emergency, he could execute the person first and report later without reporting to the court, and deal with him by military law.

This is a kind of power that is too great to be limited. Although no one has used this power to kill in recent decades, the royal flag and the Shangfang sword will always be placed in his court, allowing him to combine administrative, judicial, financial, and military power. The area of ​​Beiting under his jurisdiction is comparable to the two capitals and thirteen provinces, including the vast northern territory from the north of Mobei to the Arctic Ocean, with a total area of ​​more than 1000 million square kilometers.

He directly controlled five army groups, a huge royal army of more than 5 people, and a Korean auxiliary army of nearly 35. If the Shituwei in Beiting and the industrial and mining and oil and gas resources controlled by the Shituwei were included, the total number of troops under his control would be as high as one million. The only few troops that were not under his control were the Caojun, that is, the railway troops in Beiting. They were under the control of the Ministry of Industry and were the troops of the Ministry of Industry.

Of course, if he took up the post of Vice Minister of Works, the railway troops in Beiting would also be under his jurisdiction.

The Jinyiwei even had an operations unit in Beiting. The Jinyiwei stationed there and the Qigong practitioners assigned to them all obeyed his orders.

In addition to ensuring the safety of the people within the Great Wall, he was also responsible for transporting the minerals and oil and gas resources of Beiting to Liaodong and other places in Northern Zhili by rail, such as the industrial center of Shenyang. These minerals would be processed into heavy industrial products, such as steel coils. If they were tin-coated steel coils, they would be sent all the way to Southern Zhili, processed into canned fruit and meat, or canned whole chickens for banquets, and then sent to Beiting.

With so much power concentrated in one person, he didn't care about the loss of his senses at all. In fact, he was ready to get up early and sleep late, and stay up all night every day.

"You can stay up all night wearing this, right?"

"Hmm," Shangluo thought for a moment, "I have to say, one of the few benefits is that it is very helpful in improving sleep quality. Although I am not very sensitive to the outside world, my sleep quality will become extremely high. Sleeping for two or three hours can relieve mental fatigue."

Human sleep is not only to relieve mental fatigue, but also to have some physiological activities in the brain. In addition to letting the internal organs enter a state of rest, the brain itself will also experience cleansing from cerebrospinal fluid.

However, here, these physiological cleansings are completely unnecessary, and you only need to recover from mental fatigue during rest. The sleep time is also greatly shortened.

Prior to this, there was actually no research to show how long psychological sleep is needed if physiological regulation is not required, because no spiritual humans had ever appeared before.

Now, after actual testing, the standard sleep time is actually.
"90 minutes?"

"Yes, 90 minutes." Shangluo replied, "The result I got from Victoria is 90 minutes, one and a half hours. In other words, it only takes one and a half hours to complete psychological recovery. Because 90 minutes can complete a deep sleep cycle, allowing the human brain to feel "slept for a while."

That’s enough. When you don’t need to recover physically, you only need to “sleep for a while” mentally, and you will naturally become refreshed.

"This," Governor Yuan pondered for a moment, "Should we give one to each of our clerks?"

"what?"

"I always feel that the guys under me sleep too long every day. They should sleep for such a short time every day so that they can focus all their energy on work."

"General Yuan, their views on these things may be different from yours. The wages they receive do not include suffering." "Then when they all ascend, it will be better."

"General Yuan, there will be no more General of Beiting after the Ascension. We will only ascend the two capitals and thirteen provinces, not including the outside. So you are probably the last Grand General of Beiting."

"Then the Beiting is so big, we can't waste it, right?"

"I have made arrangements for this." Zhu Xianxun replied, "In fact, I am also going to tell you today - after we can complete the ascension, the Beiting Army will withdraw back to the Heavenly Court and redeploy. At that time, the entire Beiting area will be designated as the Forbidden Garden and become the hunting ground of the Heavenly Court. No one will be allowed to enter. In addition to the hunting ground, another part will be designated as a high-standard prison. After reorganization, the Beiting Army will re-enter the Forbidden Garden for defense."

This is also the final decision of the imperial court on Beiting.

Generally speaking, the imperial court divided the earth into three major levels.

The first level is the Xia king and the Xia people. This area refers to the area within the capital, and there are also a few overseas territories.

The second level is Xia Jun Yi Min, which mainly refers to military towns such as Beiting. This place is managed by the king's army, but the local indigenous people are not Chinese. In particular, a small number of neighboring vassal states such as Korea are considered to be in this level.

The third level is Yi kings and Yi people. Most tributary states are like this. In particular, although Siam is a type of Xia kings and Yi people, because the local Chinese king came to power through a coup, the court did not encourage this, so Siam was also regarded as this level, and was not upgraded because the king was Chinese.

After the imperial court ascended, in principle, all citizens needed to return to the capital, unless they didn't want to live anymore - if they really didn't want to live anymore, it was indeed a personal freedom, and they didn't have to go back. After all, there are always people in this world who are tired of living.

With the full withdrawal of the royal army, there will be a power vacuum in areas like the Beiting Grand Military Governor's Office - that piece of land is basically the largest semi-uninhabited area on earth. There are a number of settlements, and most places are boundless wilderness, with only industrial and mining collection points stationed there.

Considering the freight and cost, the imperial court did not do its best to develop Beiting. Because everything is available in the two capitals and 13 provinces, there are many resources for shipping, and there is no urgent need for Beiting's minerals. Only oil and gas resources can be transported through pipelines, and the transportation cost is greatly reduced. In addition, the consumption of oil and gas resources in the capital is too high, so it is necessary to transport these resources.

Although these demands disappeared after the ascension of the Heavenly Court, the court's control over Beiting will not weaken, because there cannot be a power vacuum there.

It is one of the few undeveloped places in the world. In the long-term plan, there is hope that the land will be integrated into the capital as the second Liaodong. Although the integration has not been completed and it is not in time for the ascension, the court regards it as the location of the "second phase project".

If the imperial court has enough power in the future, the uninhabited land there will also be included in the heavenly court.

Before that, no one else is allowed to touch the bedside. If the court does not need the mines there, it can be governed as a hunting ground and training ground. It can also be used as the base of operations of the Heavenly Army in the mortal world. Triggered from the North Pole, the Heavenly Army can quickly reach all parts of the world. At the same time, many of the Heavenly Army's facilities are not suitable for display in places with many barbarians. With the isolation of the vast snowfields in the north, most of the problems on the ground can be isolated.

"So there is such a thing. But at that time, can our heavenly army really be stationed in the mortal world?"

"Captain Yuan, you hit the nail on the head," Zhu Xianxi replied. "Based on the current situation, if our people want to leave Heaven and the Red Land of God, they will probably face the test of the mortal world. This is because we ascended to the heavenly realm by resonating with the mountains, rivers, and dragon veins here. If we leave this blessed land, even the immortal celestial beings will begin to age."

"What should we do? We can't risk aging by stationing our space army on the ground, right?"

"So when the time comes, our people may have to wear helmets on their heads when they go out." Zhu Xianxi gestured with a glass cover, "As long as they wear helmets, they won't breathe the worldly air, and they won't eat the worldly pollutants, and they won't be affected. Our space army must also take comprehensive protection, and keep their high energy state from beginning to end so that it doesn't dissipate."

"So, everyone has to dress like in space suits?"

"At least it's a diving suit." Zhu Xianxi replied, "Our people need special equipment to maintain activities outside the border. This requires the creation of a micro-habitable environment, so we can only wear these sealed action suits."

Different styles of action suits obviously provide different activity durations. If it is just a soft diving suit, it may only provide short-term operations. If you want to carry out activities that last for several days, you may need to wear heavier and more protective action suits.

However, this does not mean that you have to wear it all the time whenever you go out. By then, the stations where the Space Force is stationed and the vehicles they take when they are on the move will be modified to be able to support the movement, so there is no need to wear heavy action suits all the time. At least in the facilities, you can take off the heavy armor and move freely.

By then, I am afraid that no one will see the true face of the celestial being, unless this celestial being risks falling into a lower realm and actively starts breathing the air from the outside world.

Governor Yuan suddenly covered his forehead and said, "No, I'm reminded of some of the things my good-for-nothing son experienced."

"Your son is now"

"He wore strange clothes in the club, so his classmates made up some 'settings' and even put on makeup."

"Then if he were to accompany you, Governor Yuan, to Beiting, would he be unhappy?"

"No, this guy said it before. How do you say it? Cool? What does cool mean?"

[It's Shangluo, you who spread the strange word on the Internet.]

"Anyway, he said that going to Beiting is so 'cool' that our whole family is going together. He can take a leave of absence for school matters. He can go to the Imperial College for college anyway, so there's no need to rush through a few years of study. But I will also hire a tutor for him, so he won't be delayed."

Governor Yuan has decided to stand guard for Beiting for the last time. Before the fully armed, masked celestial beings re-enter Beiting, which has been designated as a forbidden garden, the last batch of royal troops will stay there and stay there as long as possible. By then, the replacement of Beiting's management model will be completed on the same day to ensure that there will be no power vacuum for a single day.

"Well, Governor Yuan, you can actually start working on the first batch of sealed facilities when you go there. Your body is more suitable for operating in a high-energy environment. I suggest you seal off your entire Governor's Mansion first, and then the barracks, military stations, and vehicles. Oh, and by the way, we also have a group of Jinyiwei who have received similar medical treatment as you. They will go to Beiting with you, and they will also wear protective suits with helmets in advance."
