Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1452 Dispatching
"Then I will send the discussion group to you all." Shangluo immediately sent his contact information to the imperial censors who had received their mobile phones, because the work was about to begin. "I need you to go out for a mission. I wonder who is free."

Given that the situation in Europe could deteriorate at any time and the Ming Dynasty has just obtained immortal power that is enough for all mortals to look up to, now is a good opportunity to establish a new order.

As before, Shangluo had already gone there to set up an outpost in advance and made a breakthrough in Prussia. He could do this because he had the power of creation in his hands.

But after breaking through, we need professional operators to expand the results. This requires some skills, rather than just relying on force to suppress.

Organizing a team of censors to monitor the working status of the Night Duty Bureau was the daily work of the censors. They also did more complicated work, such as checking for missed tax silver in the complex salt trade network to prevent the treasury from leaking money.

The work of the censors is complex and difficult, but difficulties themselves are commonplace for them, and they are always prepared to deal with difficulties.

"But no matter what, going abroad is still beyond the scope, right?" Although Director Chen did not say anything, he took the task and left. However, Elder Wen had some small questions about this, "What if they can't do it?"

"This mission is indeed difficult. I think the biggest difficulty is the culture and language. However, although I have to turn my attention to other tasks, the support provided by the Heavenly Court will continue - after all, we still have relativistic kinetic weapons."

Relativistic kinetic weapons are now in the hands of Heaven.

For a civilization that is still on Earth, this ability has actually exceeded the usual concept of "a first-level civilization is the master of planetary energy" and "a second-level civilization can collect energy from the entire star system." Because now the Heavenly Court has mastered the ability to directly blow up the Earth where it is.

Relying on the "relativistic" super-speed provided by the cornerstone magic and the magnificent space-based megastructures from the Tao, the Heavenly Court can now directly use a round of salvos from the main battleships to penetrate the weak points of the earth's crust. If instead of using a simple launching mechanism such as a barreled cannon, and building a giant mass accelerator of the space station level, it would not be difficult to blast open the earth's crust anywhere on the earth.

In fact, Shangluo has already started preparations.

"We are trying to add shaft guns to the Lianshan."

"Axle gun? What is that?" asked Elder Wen.

"It's a giant mass accelerator that fully utilizes the entire hull of the battleship. If it's used as a kinetic weapon, it can be thrown at a 'relativistic' level, a near-light-speed hyper-speed warhead. Once fired, it's pure kinetic energy and pure destruction."

If necessary, it is not impossible to replicate the Chicxulub asteroid impact that destroyed the dinosaurs.

After all, although the earth itself is quite solid, the earth's ecology is just a small eggshell floating on the magma ocean. In fact, Wang Shi has the ability to influence the climate of the entire earth - for example, the habitable zone of the entire Europe is actually at a very high latitude.

For example, Paris is located further north than Shenyang, Changchun and even Daqing, and is at the same latitude as the frigid Greater Khingan Range. Paris also has the potential to become a new Greater Khingan Range, where birds fly away and people are nowhere to be seen.

There are many reasons why it did not become the Greater Khingan Range, but the key factor is the North Atlantic Current.

The North Atlantic warm current brings warm and humid water vapor that does not belong to this latitude to the whole of Western Europe and Northern Europe. Once the North Atlantic warm current is cut off, the geographical climate of the entire British Isles and most of Europe will become no different from the vast snowfields in the north of the Ling Mountains. All the agriculture there that is not resistant to cold will be crushed by the heavy snow, and only wheat and potatoes can be planted sporadically before the ground freezes.

This does not take into account the problem of reduced moisture. If the rainfall decreases across Europe, it will produce another level of disaster.

The Ice Age may only be a short-term pain, while the reduction in precipitation will be a long-term pain. When the whole of Europe becomes a frozen wasteland, I am afraid that species losses will occur at the level of species extinction.

"Can we do this now?"

"It's not that difficult actually. In theory, we can just blow up the Arctic ice and artificially create some effects that only global warming can create, and then we can cut off the North Atlantic Current."

"Hmm," Elder Wen pondered for a moment, "I think this is a little inappropriate. The natural cycle is a whole, and one move affects the whole body. If the water vapor that went to Northern Europe before did not go there, then the water vapor would definitely be retained somewhere else. I am not a meteorologist, and I know nothing about what will happen in this. But I know that if a system problem is cut off at one point, the problems that will arise may be unimaginable to us."

"So, I don't really plan to do this." Shang Luo spread his hands. "To be honest, I don't mind punishing the barbarians in Europe, but I don't want to see a mass extinction of species, harming flowers, plants, and all living things in nature, including humans. I don't think the court will do this either. After all, we still have a kind heart. But the barbarians don't know."

"Ah," Elder Wen thought for a moment, "You want to trick them, right?"

"When we can actually do that, then they'll have to think about the actual utility of these threats."

"Okay." Elder Wen nodded. "If it's blackmail, I think it's feasible. The barbarians fear power but not virtue. Although we don't necessarily have to sweep their houses and homes, we must let them know that the court has the power to sweep their houses and homes. In fact, the court has never rejected sweeping their houses and homes."

For example, the imperial court had carpet-bombed Las Vegas before, razing the gambling den built in the desert to the ground - the imperial court also conducts ethical assessments when it implements sweeping the houses. This kind of unnatural den of thieves that profit from the gathering of illegal industries has a very low rating in the imperial court and can be eliminated as long as necessary.

If it was really a naturally formed population center like Mexico City, Paris, or Berlin, even the imperial court, which often issued extermination orders, would not have destroyed these places. After all, there were many people living there, and people had to survive. Bombing people's homes would only cause refugees to flow everywhere, and the problem would not disappear but would be transferred, and even new problems would arise in places where there were no problems before.

The combination of various factors made the court less inclined to kill people at will.

"But blackmail is another matter." Elder Wen added, "The cabinet will consider this matter carefully and help you create some conditions. However, there is one more thing: the court saw your actions in Berlin. The court is actually very interested in this kind of kinetic energy that can penetrate the earth's crust. So the court would like to ask-"

He opened his phone in front of Shangluo and asked, "Have you ever considered blowing up Mount Everest?"

"Huh? What the hell?"

"We think we can blow up the mountains in the Qinghai-Tibet area and divert the water vapor to the western regions."

"Wait a minute." Shangluo asked in surprise, "Didn't you just say that this is a system engineering and can't be tampered with casually?" "We thought this was feasible after demonstration - after developing social engineering, we plan to develop meteorological engineering to demonstrate how we can modify this land after we have efficient means of modifying the terrain. This is a start, for example:"

Wen Ge Lao gave an example: "The Yangtze River still frequently floods. We have considered diverting the Yangtze River northward to supplement the Yellow River's waterway."

"What if the Yellow River floods?"

"Then dredge the Yellow River. Since the canal is open now, it wouldn't hurt to dredge the river as well."

"That's easy. I think we can study it."

This is different from the requirements of kinetic weapons. Kinetic weapons only need to dig holes, and blowing up mountains is also within the achievable goal. But if you want to dig a river channel, you need more than just digging holes, but weapons such as continuous destructive beams - it can be likened to a plow in the sky, digging a river channel on the earth.

"But has bombing the Himalayas ever been proven?"

“We have argued this.”

"I'm serious." Shangluo said, "If I really say it can be blown up, can you find someone to come up with a construction plan? If there is a plan, of course I can build it according to the blueprint."

"Well, this is difficult to deal with." Wen Zhong shook his head. "We all understand technology. But when people who understand technology get together, it's easy to create echo resonance. We all seem to have some unrealistic ideas about technology."

"But this 'weather engineering' makes sense, right?"

"That's true. The Cabinet and the Imperial Academy have many talents in meteorology, mathematics, geology, and physics. This is the plan we came up with after discussion. We think this plan is feasible - mainly because the result is very tempting. If we can guide the water vapor all the way north, not only will the plateau be revitalized, but the Western Regions can also be revitalized. If this is accomplished, it will benefit the present and future generations."

"How about this?" Shangluo thought for a moment, "If I find a sandbox for you to experiment in, do you plan to conduct research?"

"Sandbox? You mean, we can find a testing ground for meteorological engineering, like the wind tunnels used for aviation design?"

"Yes, we can do it. There is plenty of vacant land in Rome. Let's cooperate with them."

When Victoria heard Shangluo's proposal, she immediately applauded and said, "Genius! What a genius! Why didn't we think of cutting off the North Atlantic Current?"

"Um, calm down first." Shangluo motioned Victoria to sit back down, "I think you must have discussed this."

Although he had a lot of dealings with the Romans, he still had no idea where the Romans' bottom line was - the Romans had no bottom line at all in many cases. He knew that the Romans must have discussed cutting off the North Atlantic Current, but this discussion was rejected at the beginning of the plan, so Victoria herself did not know.

"But Shangluo, if we really do this, we can turn the area outside the Great Wall into a world of ice and snow!"

"And then? How are you going to deal with the refugees?"

"Why not eat bread? Of course, give them bread. As long as they eat bread, they won't make trouble. This is also the chef's plan."

"Good guy" Shangluo was a little shocked.

He wasn't shocked that Victoria would accept this plan - he was shocked that Victoria could find a reason to accept it.

"I want to ask, what do you want to do?"

"That's easy to say. The North must be inhabited, and the cities must be maintained, otherwise the Wild Hunt will invade there. But the North cannot be too powerful, otherwise it will threaten Rome. So, I think they can live peacefully."

"So, what is the logic behind all of your actions?"

"It's the awareness of magic." Victoria began, "This is very important. Because if Europeans widely recognize the existence of magic, then correspondingly, the power of magic will grow. But it's not just the controllable side that grows, but also the violent side. The two are not one growing at the expense of the other, but the left foot stepping on the right foot. We must suppress both the power of the Wild Hunt and the influence of magic. We try to keep the world at the level of 'low magic' so that Rome can rule Europe by relying on its control of the mystery. If the mystery level of the world is raised, the barbarians will have to learn magic by relying on their population advantage. By then, the stronger the magic, the stronger the Wild Hunt will be, and it will be out of control, and even Rome itself will be damaged."

"So, you want to throw them all into the ice and snow?"

"Yes. Because only in this way can they live without causing us any trouble. What do you think, Shangluo?"

"I think my Night Shift Bureau plan is better."

"I think our plan can also be studied! It can indeed be studied. As long as there is enough bread to eat."

"If this is science, please experiment on dogs first, thank you. We only want to conduct meteorological research, so we can just build an ecological sandbox. If you want to do social research, you have to build a civilization sandbox. Can you do it? If not, I suggest you don't do experiments directly on the earth. How can you practice on patients? What if a medical accident occurs?"

"Ah okay"

"And you also need to study the issue of the Wild Hunt. I think we should form a working group under the Heavenly Court - mainly to study meteorological engineering. Although we have cooperated with Alexandria before, it seems that we have to cooperate with Syracuse this time."
