No matter what the cost!
For some reason, when he heard these words, even though the heater was turned on in the room, the chief scholar still felt cold hands and feet.
"What are you going to do?" He opened his mouth and asked.
"Create a powerful super-weapon and blast the border!" The emperor waved his hand, "In my early years, I established a weapons research institute and supporting military factories in Xizhou.
The firearms and artillery produced are more sophisticated than the old army.
I plan to upgrade it to the Xizhou Special Research Institute, mobilize a group of top scientists to develop super weapons, and blast a new world. What do you think? "
"this… "
Hearing these words, the chief scholar had already vaguely guessed, but his heart was still shaken.
Blast the boundaries of the world!
What kind of crazy idea is this? You must know that during the period of Chi State, since the discovery of the "boundary", the emperors of all dynasties have never stopped exploring, but no one has made such a decision.
Maybe someone thought about it in their hearts, but they didn't actually order it to be implemented after all.
After all, this must be a costly and terrifying project, and it is likely to fail. Moreover, there have always been rumors among the people that the residence of the gods is beyond the border.
Not to mention that no emperor dared to risk the disgrace of the world and invade the domain of God.
But the new emperor dares!
As for whether to accept... Whether it is as a top scientific worker or as the emperor's "favorite", he seems to have no reason to refuse.
"... obey."
…
…
"boom!!"
Lishan Martial Arts, in the study.
As Lin Tuo tapped the mouse, the last gunshot echoed in the earphones.
On the screen, the last enemy fell neatly to the edge of the poison circle.
"Phew, does improving physical fitness also help playing games?" Lin Tuo leaned on the back of the chair, slowly took off the earphones, and muttered in his heart.
After work, he seldom plays games, maybe one or two games a month.
Marksmanship also dropped sharply.
Unexpectedly, it was easy to win three games in a row.
Although it is also because of his account's low level, the Fish Pond Bureau...
"Well, it should be tempered by ether, which improves the speed of nerve response, and my concentration is also better than before."
Get up, take out a can of Coke from the refrigerator in the next room, just about to open it, the alarm clock set on the phone rang again.
"It's time to collect ether again."
Lin Tuo's spirit was shaken, and he trotted back to the sand table. Looking down, he found that on the sand table continent, the scale of the city had expanded again, and the architectural style of the houses had also improved.
Many areas have changed.
The most obvious ones are the countless electric lights at night and the public trams in the city. Apart from bicycles, there are also a few cars on the streets.
It's just still clunky and rare, and seems to be in the early stages of development.
"It's developing so fast..."
Lin Tuo sighed with emotion, and then performed the "breathing qi method" again, sucked a wave hard, and then turned his head contentedly and had a simple lunch.
Then I was immersed in the game again.
…
…
Inside the sand table empire.
In a blink of an eye, it has been ten years since the establishment of the new dynasty.
Compared with Kyoto, which is changing with each passing day, and many industrial cities.
Far away in Daxizhou, the Xizhou Special Research Institute hidden among the mountains does not seem to have changed much.
From a distance, there are only a few more buildings, and a lot of equipment has been updated inside.
But the whole area is still desolate and rarely populated.
Especially at night, it looks extraordinarily cold, with only howling wolves as companions.
Only from the accounts of the Kyoto treasury, through a steady stream of terrifying cash inflows, can people pay attention to this frontier.
"We are a group of pioneers who shoulder the mission and have to endure bitter cold and loneliness."
For ten years, the chief scientist has been inspiring others with such words.
With the extravagant investment of the emperor and the dividends of the times, the research work on super weapons has also gone smoothly and surprisingly.
Levels were broken one by one, and super weapons also evolved from ideas in the mind, sketches on the blueprint...and finally into real entities.
And carried out several small-scale detonation experiments.
This once excited the chief scientist, however, as the level of research improved, and as the detection and understanding of the "boundary" deepened, he began to waver.
Began to wonder, can the "boundary" really be broken
then.
In a certain late autumn, when His Majesty the Emperor visited here again, he finally mustered up the courage to express his worries.
"So, you want to tell me that the research failed?"
Research institute, in a certain room.
The ten-year-old emperor asked back with cold eyes.
Ten years have passed, probably due to worrying about state affairs, the middle-aged man who was vigorous at the time has already shown his old age, his beard and hair are graying, but his majesty is growing day by day.
Officials in Kyoto have a particularly deep understanding of this point.
When the country was stabilized, the emperor began to extend his hand to the entire society, highly centralized, iron-fisted rule style, tightened public opinion, and gradually deepened his control over the country.
In the first few years, at least he could listen to the opinions of his courtiers. Recently, he has become more arbitrary, and the atmosphere in the court has become increasingly tense.
"No, Your Majesty, the research is going well, but the boundary is far stronger than we originally imagined, so that the shock wave created by the super warhead we originally conceived may be difficult to shake."
The chief scholar trembled, and quickly explained.
"Unshakable?" Repeating the word, the emperor said with a gloomy gaze and a stern tone, "There has never been anything in this world that cannot be destroyed.
If there is, it can only show that the power of the weapon is not strong enough, and the determination to destroy is not strong enough. "
"Yes... I don't doubt your determination at all. As for the power of weapons... it can't be improved indefinitely. There is a ceiling to the power of a single warhead..."
"One is not enough, then add a few more!" The emperor's eyes were firm, "If one can't be exploded, then make a thousand, ten thousand! There is not enough funds, I will raise money from the empire for you."
"It's not a matter of funding..." the chief scientist smiled wryly, "We have also thought about this plan, and in theory, it is indeed possible to increase the destructive power through stacking.
But once the power of the explosion breaks through a certain value.
It will have a serious impact on the ecology of the entire continent...or even worse, it may lead to the destruction of the world. "
"Destruction?" Chewing the word, the aged emperor suddenly had a strange expression, his eyes were fixed, as if some kind of madness was brewing.
His tone was unusually calm: "After this year, I will be sixty years old."
"Huh?" The chief scholar was at a loss.
"Some time ago, the imperial doctor told me that I had a tumor in my brain. With the current medical technology, it would be very risky to have an operation. Therefore, I won't live for long."
"Your Majesty... you don't have to..."
As soon as the chief scholar spoke, he was stopped by the opponent raising his hand:
"In the first half of my life, I was an emperor for ten years. I think I should be satisfied, but I am still not reconciled. I just want to see with my own eyes what it looks like outside the border before I die."
After a pause, he continued:
"Do you still remember ten years ago, that winter, when I first talked about this experiment with you, what did I say? I said, I will conquer it, no matter what the price is."
"this… "
"Okay, you go out first, help me call all the core persons in charge of this project, I want to hold a meeting." The emperor suddenly changed the subject and said.
"Ah... yes."
The chief scholar walked out the door in a daze. Although he vaguely felt something was wrong, he didn't dare to disobey his orders.
Soon, he returned here with a dozen core leaders of the project.
Because the project is top-secret, most of the researchers below do not know the details of the plan, only these people know.
"Your Majesty? Everyone is here." When a group of people entered the meeting room, the chief scholar saw that the old emperor was sitting at the head of the meeting room with his back to everyone.
Hearing this, he slowly turned around.
In the right hand, without knowing when, a square, simple and radiant seal appeared.
"Secret Seal?! Your Majesty..."
The chief scholar's face changed suddenly, and he finally guessed what it was.
Immediately, the old emperor activated the secret seal, unleashed the power of hypnosis, and said to everyone with a smile:
"Now, let us destroy the world together."
…
…
"Gulu..."
Lishan Wuguan.
When Lin Tuo ended the last game contentedly, a burst of hunger came from his stomach.
There is no way, I dealt with a snack at noon, and didn't eat it seriously.
"It's about this time." Looking at the time, it was almost evening, Lin Tuo was startled.
Entertainment really kills time, I don't feel anything yet, it's almost night.
After exiting the game and turning off the computer, Lin Tuo looked at the sand table again and raised his eyebrows slightly.
I saw that at this moment, airplanes seemed to have begun to appear on the sand table.
Of course, it can only fly at low altitudes.
"It's faster than I thought." Xiao Xiao was amazed, Lin Tuo shook his head, and switched the evolution sandbox to "observation mode".
The light and shadow changed, and in a blink of an eye, Yangcheng City replaced the "Xin Dynasty" and stood in front of you.
"I've been busy for so long, let's have a good meal tonight. What do you want to eat... Well, this is it." Lin Tuo overlooked Yangcheng, and his eyes fell on a hot pot restaurant that he had been to before.
Although it's a little strange to eat hot pot alone, there's nothing I can do about it.
Put your finger into the secluded part of the sand table, release the avatar, then position the main body in the chair, switch to realize the avatar... He is already very familiar with this whole set of operations.
This way is much better than taking a car for an hour or two down the mountain to eat.
In particular, the main body does not go out, and if there is any "accident", it can be dealt with quickly.
"Accident? What kind of accident can there be? It won't be enough time for a meal. Let's change the dynasty again, right?"
Walking out of a secluded alley in Yangcheng, Lin Tuo murmured in his heart.
Then he walked towards the Internet celebrity hot pot restaurant in a rather good mood:
"I forgot to make an appointment, and I don't know if I can get a seat..."
…
The wind and waves in Yangcheng were calm.
At the same time, inside Tucker's black box, inside the sand table empire.
In the depths of Great Western Continent.
A crazy "experiment" capable of destroying the world is about to begin.
