Chapter 6555: Disaster Is Imminent
After Dio, who was wrapped in a silk coat and half-naked, came out of the inner room, he saw Pompianus scolding a group of insects, and then the insects were also scolding Pompianus. There was no way, he was still here. Those who are racking their brains to think of ways to save Rome are all bosses of the same level, so they are not timid at all. ??? ?????υ?.?Oм ????
Of course, the most important thing is Pompianus, why do you stand on the highest moral level and scold us? Damn it, it makes you seem like your surname is not Claudius.
"Dio, come here!" Sergio yelled at Dio, who was about to sneak away and continue to swim naked in the big baths, impotently, the Roman Empire has reached this point, but you still have the heart to do this, Are you still a Roman senator? Damn it, how can we improve the Roman Empire and develop the Claudius family together with you?
"Hey, hey, hey, you guys have something going on, why do you want to involve someone like me?" Dio said helplessly, "I have contributed all the knowledge in my mind, what else do you want?"
"Stop talking nonsense. We can't figure out the causes and consequences of some things, but I think you should know that we may not be able to fully understand what is going on just by retrieving memories." Herodian, who has always been kind to others, now also has a bit of coldness. Yi glared at Dio and said.
"I can't run away, can I?" Dio said very unconvinced, "I haven't spent all my impt funds this month. It's almost the end of the month."
"Stop talking nonsense, you will only waste more time here." Sergio said angrily, I approved the funds, but now I am working hard and racking my brains to protect Rome, you bastards Using my money to open an impt in the open-air bathhouse, I want to die!
"Okay, everyone, what do you want to know?" Dio is also a smart man and knows that what Sergio said is right. Besides, the big guys are all working. It is really not good for them to go to the big bathing house to mess around, but this is a reserved area. After booking for so long in one go, it would be a waste not to go.
Although the large bathhouse was opened by his own family, oh, it was newly built by His Majesty Severus. Isn’t His Majesty also named Claudius?
"What happened to the locusts?" Pompianus went straight to the core of the problem. He was now worried that the locust plague was caused by the young men of the Claudius family.
"There are a total of seventeen groups of people involved, but they are all on a technical level. The locust plague is not caused by us. According to the information I retrieved, a locust plague breaks out in East Africa every few years. This time it can only be said that it is a situation. It's special, it's just a relatively large scale." Dio quickly searched the data in his brain, then quickly compared it and gave the answer.
Although it is just a database, since Dio is a human being, he is equivalent to a super-advanced artificial intelligence with a huge database, so in terms of ability, Dio is also very powerful.
"Seventeen gangs?" Ulbian, who had no strength to speak before, raised his voice an octave.
"Who are involved in dynamism, cluster thinking, energy cores, and reproduction speed?" Pompianus asked as calmly as possible. As a senator of the Roman Empire, he must be calm, otherwise he will easily be tricked by his own family. I'm so angry about this.
"Gigantamax was led by Pomponi. He said that locusts are delicious when fried, but they are too small, so I hope the locusts can grow bigger so that they will be more satisfying to eat." Dio glanced at Pompianus said, and the blood vessels on the left side of Pompianus' forehead burst out.
Sergio, Herodian and others also looked at Pompianus with expressionless expressions. You are scolding me. Why don't you stop scolding me? Why don't you stop scolding me if you cooperate with your son in doing this?
"Swarm thinking was done by Usidai asking Da Lizi for help." Dio looked at Herodian expressionlessly, and everyone else present also looked at Herodian.
"Or don't say it." Sergio no longer wants to hear Dio tell the third name. This is not good and is not conducive to unity. The acting patriarch of the Claudius family wants to safeguard the family and the country. Unite, the matter has come to this, there is no point in discussing the fait accompli, it is better to be realistic and solve the problem. They, the older generation, need to provide shelter for the younger generation and support Rome.
"Is there a backdoor?" Ulbian said seriously, "After all, this is something created by our Claudius family. Don't tell me, the researchers didn't even install a backdoor?"
"It's installed, but with dozens of locks added. When the Han Empire's aristocratic families find anything strange, their first reaction is to add locks." Dio said with a dark face. He always felt that the Han Empire's aristocratic families were here. If there is something wrong with it, when encountering any strange creature, the first reaction is to lock it.
If there are two locks in one, Claudius can crack it easily. If there are eight locks in ten, it will be difficult for the Claudius family to break. If dozens of locks are added, it is obviously not ready to be unlocked.
"Let the aristocratic families of the Han Empire be freed." Pompianus breathed out and said, "They should not deliberately cause trouble at this time, their land has also been eaten up."
"But here's the problem. Some Han families do it either for research or to prevent others from researching it." Dio had a teasing expression. Although he couldn't understand the behavior of locking up any strange creatures he encountered, he Dio can understand my mentality that I know I can't solve it myself, but I want to add more to it - I'm just happy, it has no practical value, it's just high!
"Contact the Han Dynasty and ask the major families to unlock it. Just say that we have a way to kill the locust plague. We have a backdoor in all the East African locusts." Capitolinus, who had been silent and listening nearby, said to Sergio.
"Ah?" Sergio was dumbfounded. Damn it, we have a backdoor in the East African locusts. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Now North Africa, Egypt, the lower reaches of the Mesopotamian River, and Spain have all been shown off. You told me there is a backdoor. Are you the pillar of our Roman Empire? Are you the humerus of our Claudius family? Now that the loss is so great, you just remembered it!
Pompianus and others fell into deep thought after hearing this. Then they looked at each other and nodded slowly. Sergio realized what these people were thinking before they spoke.
"Dio, do you think you can solve it?" Capitolineus looked at Dio and asked, "Don't say you don't know this kind of thing. If we only talk about ability, there are only a handful of people in the Senate who are better than you."
Dio is undoubtedly a god, but his mind is not on participating in politics. Relying on his family status and his own talent, he can get by most of the time. Anyway, there are more than 300 Roman elders and Claudius is so many gods, so he is not one more.
"It is possible to solve it by force, but how to make this chain self-inherit and differentiate, and independently solve other chains, I don't think it can be done." Dio rarely restrained his unruly attitude, mobilized the various information collected in his mind, and gave his own answer after comparing back and forth.
Although for Dio, the meaning of life is to record all kinds of bizarre behaviors of Romans, such as Ulpian, a figure who influenced later jurisprudence, being deceived by metaphysics and being chased by lions, etc., but as a noble standing at the top of this empire, Dio, who has a sense of responsibility, naturally could not stand idly by when Rome was really in danger. Debauchery can only be said to be one side of him.
"Is that so? There is no doubt that our Roman Empire has a backdoor. Dio, you should have information on hand. Give me a complete set of information that cannot be found out and can be authenticated." Capitolineus said slowly, and Dio nodded slowly.
"This requires some researchers to work with me. It won't take too long. There will be no loopholes in the information." After Dio made a decision, he gave a direct reply.
The day after the Han Dynasty sent the smuggled letter to Rome, Rome sent a lot of things.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late. What happened? Why are you so serious? Besides, this person came too complete," Chen Xi was caught in an emergency and found that Liu Tong and Liu Bei were already in the government office. He was a little strange. Even Liu Ye, who no longer came to the government office, was pushed to a corner. He hurriedly apologized to everyone.
"Okay, don't apologize. Zichuan is here too. Xiaozhi, you will tell Zichuan the key points of the Roman Empire's reply." Liu Bei waved his hand and said, his face was also very ugly. There was no way. The locust plague was so serious that Liu Bei was a little bit overwhelmed. This year, his position as the general was over.
"The Roman Empire gave a reply to the previous letter. Although it was not a direct admission, it did not directly refute it. The energy core should be the research result of the Claudius family." Fa Zheng directly picked out the most important points and briefly described them to Chen Xi.
"It's not much different from what I expected. If the Han Empire's noble families work together, I think there is still hope. With the current situation, only the Claudius family has the spare energy to do so." Chen Xi replied calmly. He had a hunch when he sent the letter.
"Pompianus replied that there may be other changes in the locust plague, and there may be changes in body size, clusters, etc." Fa Zheng said expressionlessly, and Chen Xi took a breath.
"In other words, Rome has conducted research in this area? And has it produced results?" Chen Xi looked at the faces of everyone present and already had an idea.
Fa Zheng took out a one-foot-long locust from under the table. When Chen Xi saw this thing, he fell into panic of seeing something strange. Then he was stunned. Pointing at the one-foot-long locust, he didn't know what to say. Is this a locust?
"Fuck!" Thousands of words were twisted into one sentence. There are obviously many words to describe it, but at this moment, Chen Xi felt that only this word was suitable.
"The Roman Empire doesn't want to live anymore, so it's dragging others to die with it?" Chen Xi said angrily.
"In his reply, Pompianus said that they just found out what their children had done. Although he didn't say that, my analysis suggests that this is what he meant." Fa Zheng said expressionlessly, "The first and second waves of locusts haven't developed yet, but there will definitely be such things in the third wave. Those technologies will definitely be reflected in the third wave of locust plagues."
"Did the Roman Empire count the scale of locusts?" Chen Xi took a deep breath, suppressed the extra thoughts in his heart, and asked Fa Zheng.
"It is estimated that there should be 400 billion." Fa Zheng said expressionlessly.
"Why are there so many? Wasn't East Africa held down by the Roman Empire, and it hasn't rained all the time? Even the grass there should be barren." Chen Xi looked at Fa Zheng and said in disbelief.
"Because the new generation of locusts has stronger survivability." Fazheng sighed and said, "The Roman Empire has actually tried its best. They even built a small Blazing Sky Ring in East Africa, burning locusts one by one and destroying the origin of locusts. But the number of locusts is too great. According to calculations by Rome, the actual number of locusts in the third wave should exceed one trillion, and the Roman Empire suppressed most of them. "
Before the locusts formed an army, it was the last chance to control the locusts. But it was self-evident how much money the Roman Empire spent to suppress the locusts.
"How can locusts have such strong survivability?" Chen Xi looked at Fazheng and asked.
"After three generations of evolution, they piled up in numbers and relied on energy cores. The locusts absorbed the breath of the evil gods from the African continent and possessed some evil characteristics." Fazheng said helplessly. Due to the operations of the three major empires, the locusts in Africa were transformed. He has gone too far, and the breath of the evil god has still not been eliminated.
"Is there anything the Roman Empire can do now?" Chen Xi half-squinted his eyes and asked with a bit of ruthlessness. In Chen Xi's opinion, 400 billion was too much.
"The Roman Empire is preparing to drain the energy reserves of the Mediterranean Utopia to build a barrier in the lower reaches of the two rivers, driving the celestial phenomena to form a monsoon in advance, and is expected to kill tens of billions of locusts." Fazheng can feel Rome's life-threatening attitude, but the problem is Tens of billions have been killed, and there are still hundreds of billions left!
Although Rome did not tell the Han Dynasty what the effect of the Utopia around the Mediterranean was, the Han Dynasty was not a vegetarian, and they still knew how powerful this thing was. However, if they built such a thing in the lower reaches of the two rivers, I am afraid that if this wave continues , Rome's accumulation of adjusting and sorting out the essence of heaven and earth in the past few years will have to be burned away.
But at this time, there is nothing to say. If we don’t do this, the locust plague will eat up the upper reaches of the two rivers. When it was small, it could not withstand the headwind and could not spread to the upper reaches of the two rivers. Now it has reached a scale of 400 billion. , if Rome did not build a barrier on the lower reaches of the two rivers, the locusts might even rush to Lao Wei's house on the other side of the Caucasus.
"What's Rome's solution?" Chen Xi looked at Fazheng angrily, "There must be at least a solution. The second wave of locust plague can rush to the western part of New South Wales, and the third wave can reach 400 billion, so even Weiyang Palace will have to How many bites should we take! What’s wrong with our faces?”
