Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1492 Massive Multiplayer Online

"Wait, is this necessary?" Wen Yuan asked.

"Necessary, there is no particular necessity. It's just that everything is ready now, and I always feel that I am not competent enough if I don't make news for everyone."

It's not that he is looking for trouble, but the job of Heaven is to make everyone accept the transformation of ascension both physically and mentally.

"Wait a minute, everyone." Wen Yuan stood up, holding a piece of watermelon in one hand, and pulled Shangluo out of the lounge with the other hand. "Let's discuss it. I'm also interested, but I want to know why this is necessary."

"Well, to some extent, this is actually a task assigned to me by the Emperor. You know that the time for ascension is approaching, right?"

"Yes." Wen Yuan nodded.

"Then, the impact of this incident will be very great."

This will have a huge impact on society, because it is a leap from mortals to heaven - however, this is not a bad thing after all, most people in this world are not that pretentious, and Shangluo does not just want to curb everyone's intense emotions about ascension.

This is mainly another problem: although nothing has happened overall, an explosive emotion has been generated in the whole nation in a short period of time, which will have a huge impact on the whole society. Just like going to the bank to withdraw money normally is nothing, but if all depositors go to the bank to withdraw money on the same day, this is a literal run.

People's hearts are unreasonable. In ancient times, the imperial palace was not built in the middle of the city, but at least close to one of the city walls, which was considered to prevent unrest. This is just like bombing a camp. Where people gather, people's hearts will flow like water, and the slightest fluctuation may cause a storm. Once the frightened crowd surges, even the imperial palace cannot stop it.

The situation that the Ming Dynasty is facing is even more terrible. At the least, it may cause a mass hysteria like the Xiwangmu Chop in the late Western Han Dynasty. At the most, it is not impossible to cause the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Because during the short period of ascension, there will be a short "balance period" in the military power between officials and civilians.

In ancient times, the Ming Dynasty prohibited the private possession of armor. Today, because of the ban on guns, even bulletproof vests are not prohibited. But the principle of banning armor in ancient times is the same as the principle of banning guns today.

Armor or firearms can make a person's force leap to a level that is enough to compete with local law enforcement agencies. As for armor, in ancient times, law enforcement officers in government offices were often just civilians who were temporarily pulled in to do labor. Sometimes their weapons did not even include knives, but only sticks or something like that.

At this time, standing in the crowd wearing armor is no different from a god descending from heaven. The threat of armor is still passive, because people wearing armor obviously cannot catch up with people wearing light armor. The threat of guns is more direct, and the more bullets you have, the more potential you have to kill.

Armor is useless these days. After all, law enforcement these days is not just about sticks. If the police see someone trying to commit a crime in armor, they can just empty their bullets.

The imperial court also had strict control over firearms. Firearms were an exception - because in traditional culture, students were required to bring their own firearms when practicing archery. The Yingtian subway also allowed firearms, bows and arrows to be carried directly, as long as they were placed in designated bags and not exposed.

Modern firearms other than muskets are strictly controlled, and this control has already created a safe environment. Even if guns occasionally fall into the hands of ordinary people, the most they will cause is a public security incident.

This in itself is a kind of control over supernatural powers——

"I understand what you mean. Shangluo, do you know why it is not popular among the Jinyiwei to practice palm thunder? It is basically the only spell that can be cast during the Qi training period. It's not that they don't like it, but that thing is not as convenient as a military pistol in terms of range and power."

Palm grenades are difficult to fire continuously. If a military pistol is set to semi-automatic mode, the bullets will be fired as fast as the trigger is pulled, and as accurate as the shooting is, the number of people killed can be determined. It is much more convenient than palm grenades.

"So." Wen Yuan pressed his forehead, "But it's one thing that the palm thunder is not easy to use, and it's another thing that everyone has their own palm thunder. And... do you know how the Red Turban Army won?"

Shangluo nodded.

A spear may not be a big deal. The Yuan Dynasty banned weapons, and the Red Turban Army had only spears at most when they started their uprising. However, even if they only had spears, as long as their fighting will was strong enough, a large number of generals named "Long Spear Generals" emerged during the Red Turban Army uprising and could even kill the same number of Mongolian heavy cavalry head-on. Among this batch of battles, the most famous one was Ying Guogong Fu Youde on the side of Emperor Taizu Gao, who was a long spear general who fought in the uprising.

Even in an era where weapons were not banned but only armor was banned, if a bunch of spears were gathered together, they could still cause a big stir.

The same is true now. One or two pistols may not be a big deal, but if everyone has one - and everyone has one, almost unconditionally - a military pistol, then the court's comprehensive gun ban work for more than a hundred years will be completely undermined.

It’s not even just handguns.

When ascending, not everyone will become a Qi training stage, there may be hundreds or thousands of foundation building stage. If there are criminals in the foundation building stage, I am afraid that the public security forces of a city will find it difficult to solve these problems.

In the final analysis, if the force that could break the routine suddenly appeared in everyone's hands, both Shangluo and Zhu Xianxun believed that the court could not expect everyone to have the rationality to properly control weapons.

But can all this be contained in the end?
At least Shangluo and Zhu Xianxun thought it was okay. The government's gun control work had been going quite smoothly, and in fact not that many people had to hide guns.

The problem that the court needs to solve here is that some people who were not originally intended to have power have gained power in the process. For them, the court needs to provide appropriate guidance and management - if these managements appear one by one, the court can handle them.

But if they become everywhere all of a sudden, the administrative capacity of the imperial court will be overwhelmed like a bank run. At that time, just as Shangluo guessed: at the least, there will be a collective hysteria like the fundraising, and at the worst,...
"If it's big, then it's the Yellow Turban Army." Wen Yuan made a judgment. "When the Yellow Turban Army was having breakfast, their actions were very worthy of scrutiny. You know Shangluo, right? The Yellow Turban Army did not hold weapons at the beginning. Zhang Jue strictly ordered all the believers not to take up arms. But if so many people marched towards Luoyang together, then it actually made no difference whether they held weapons or not."

"So, we need to induce them in batches." Shang Luo said, "I can't decide the order. I can only enlighten them to supernatural powers as quickly as possible within the scope of my influence. Because we don't have much time to prepare."

"So, as long as we divide it into batches, nothing else will be a problem, right?"

"Yes, batching is the key." The court can solve problems, but it cannot solve all problems at once. He cannot build the bank's risk resistance according to the standard of 100% resistance to bank runs.

The imperial court cannot afford a collapse of order. Because if the collapse begins, then the legendary era of mountain gates everywhere may emerge. Even if it does not really happen, but there is only a trend, the imperial court cannot waste energy indefinitely on regulating such things.

"Well, there is actually an idea." Wen Yuan suggested, "In the future, Beiting's territory will be turned into a forbidden garden for drug testing, right? It will be designated as an uninhabited area."

Shangluo nodded.

"Then let me ask, can we connect thousands of people into Cybernia at the same time?"

"The Romans can't produce so many stealth suits at once. But the lighthouse system can call them out."

It is not easy to log in directly to Cybernetics, but you can order takeout. The store can't accommodate so many people, but you can set up stalls outside. Shangluo can create a similar environment by projecting the lighthouse of Cybernetics.

"Then it's easy - let's find a place with enough open space and call the lighthouse over."

Wen Yuan was the one who actually participated in the first hunt for the Forest King. He was deeply impressed by the Lighthouse System because he had seen with his own eyes how the arrogant Forest King was beaten to a pulp by the Lighthouse System. And not long ago, Elodeasha was also captured in the same way.

"So," Wen Yuan said, "I think Beiting is a good place. It's freezing cold, and the environment alone is good for everyone to practice."

"But there is a problem - it's okay to call the lighthouse system, but do we have enough budget to go north with so many people?"

"My goodness, you don't ask how much a priceless treasure like the lighthouse system costs, but you're worried about the airfare?"

"Because we really have to pay for the plane tickets."

The lighthouse system, on the other hand, is free, because Victoria will support his work unconditionally and without asking for a penny.

"Wait a minute." Wen Yuan picked up the phone, "Let me ask."

[Sure enough, this kind of problem still needs to be solved in a small way.]

"Why do I subconsciously feel that I'm being mocked?" Wen Yuan put down the phone, "Someone must be mocking me, right? Shangluo, I saw you laughing."

"Ahem, indeed."

"But I also want to make this event more colorful. Military training alone is not enough for me. I need to achieve great results."

"I almost forgot that you are quite ambitious. Do you have a project too?"

"We also have an evaluation mechanism. Although we don't encourage competition, at least there is an objective scoring standard. I want to join the Imperial Guard's Qigong aviation unit in the future, but it's not that easy to get in. So, I have to be innovative here - I want performance!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Call Elder Wen and see how much budget we can apply for."

Five minutes later, Wen Yuan hung up the phone.

"How to say?"

"We have agreed to give you as much as you want. The Imperial College needs a piece of news to set an example."

"The Imperial College also requires performance, right?" Shangluo asked in surprise.

"Who wouldn't want to? Performance is the foundation of a country, and moving forward is the greatest right thing to do. You said you want to do something, as long as your plan is feasible and as long as you can convince others, then you can do whatever you want - as long as the benefits can outweigh the risks."

"Have you ever thought about what risks might arise this time?"

"Yes," Wen Yuan nodded, "I am prepared. In fact, training in the ice and snow can be regarded as a test in itself. Anyway, as long as you don't die from training, just train to death. There are so many people in the Imperial College, covering from top to bottom, all over the country and abroad. This should be a good publicity effect, right?"

"That's great. Then, I'll leave this matter to you?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task. Are you going?"

"I don't have much time." Although Wen Yuan could go out, Shangluo still had 0.75 worlds to shoulder - half of the world in Rome had been handed over to him, and Zhu Xianxun had also given him half of the work. He was now, roughly, a three-quarters world leader.

Sometimes, he would be busier than he thought. If he had time, he wouldn't mind participating in these school activities. But now things on both sides have reached a critical juncture. The European battlefield is already in flames, and the Ming Dynasty has also reached a critical juncture to resolve the invasion of evil spirits.

It's not that he didn't have time at all—today he had it. But he couldn't spare the continuous time, and he couldn't devote a whole week to the exercises in the north.

"Oh, right, how about this." Shangluo suggested, "How about I create an avatar and participate."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't have any magic power. I use the lighthouse system as a medium to project my existence like a projector. The power projected in this way will not be greater than that of the lighthouse system, but I can get there."

"Isn't this perfect? ​​What's the point of bringing your magic power with you? It's not a battle. Just practice marching. An event with more than a thousand people is neither big nor small. Just treat it as a spring outing."

Although a spring outing to the snowy Lingbei is a bit too exciting, it is just right for the Ming Dynasty which is about to ascend to heaven.

"Okay. Then I'll arrange it." This needs to be negotiated with Victoria. But Victoria likes to see Shangluo moving, she won't refuse -

Victoria didn't refuse.

Wen Yuan could hear the excited voice from Shangluo through the phone.

"I shouldn't have made this call." He covered his forehead, "Then it's decided. Have you chosen a place?"

"There aren't many places to choose from. If we really want to send them to the deep mountains and forests, I'm afraid we won't be able to gather a team. Let's go to Lake Baikal. At least we can fish for salmon."
