Chapter 835 Revisiting the Ascension Channel

In the middle of Yingzhou, the state of Zhao, the emperor of Zhao State sits on the dragon chair, with civil servants and officials on both sides. But today's atmosphere is a bit dull.

Once upon a time, the atmosphere in Zhao Guo's court was high, because Zhao Guo had made brilliant achievements one after another in the annexation war. Now, just a few months later, Zhao's territory has expanded to a radius of 50,000 miles!

Along with the expansion, there are also railways, highways, basic communication coverage, etc.; of course, basic industrial and economic expansion is indispensable. Because of these, Zhao Guo was able to break through the limit of thousands of miles of territory.

In the past, here in Yingzhou, a country with a territory of thousands of miles was considered the limit. Because the territory is too large, it is very difficult to control, and it may take more than a month for an imperial decree to go. It is even more difficult to deploy troops and generals.

But with the technology from the Shang Dynasty, Zhao Guo expanded its territory to a radius of 50,000 miles at the beginning of this annexation era. But just like that, Emperor Zhao was a little frightened by the technology of the Shang Dynasty—yes, frightened!

Zhao Guo only acquired a very small and very basic part of the technology of the Shang Dynasty, and there were such changes. So, how far has the Shang Dynasty developed?

And just today, after repeated investigations, the most detailed and up-to-date information of the Shang Dynasty was finally presented to the Emperor Zhao and all civil and military officials.

The technology of the Shang Dynasty has officially entered the fourth generation of technology.

At this time, the content of the jade slips played by the phantom array in Zhao Guochao Hall is the image of the fourth generation technology disclosed by the Shang Dynasty at that time.

Robot army, unmanned factory, rocket technology, Tianwaitian base, exploring the moon, and network technology, etc., one after another, strange concepts continue to impact the minds of Zhao Guojun and ministers, and shake the hearts of everyone.

A shocking and completely unfamiliar future world has slowly unfolded in front of Zhao Guojun and his ministers.

After a long time, the Emperor Zhao asked the civil and military officials in a 'whispered voice', "Do you think this is a big possibility?"

All the officials immediately lowered their eyebrows and fell silent. People in the Shang Dynasty dared to display it publicly, even robots, and computers have long been publicly sold. It is conceivable that this possibility cannot be doubted at all. In other words, it is inevitable at all!

Of course, everyone also understands that the reason why His Majesty asked such a question is really too shocking. In addition, there is also some fear. Anyone who saw such a scene would be a little terrified.

Especially on the screen, the scene of the robot army marching to the battlefield mighty, it is scary to think about it! No fear of death, no fear of consumption, no fear! If one day confronts such an army, it will be desperate to think about it!

Especially in the Shang Dynasty - Skyfire Bomb!

After a while, seeing that no one spoke, Emperor Zhao sighed, turned to the Shangshu Liang Fangwei and asked, "Liang Fangwei, tell me, is it possible for us to learn the development model of the Shang Dynasty as soon as possible?"

Liang Fangwei immediately replied, his voice was loud and affirmative: "Your Majesty, not only have we, but we are already implementing it. As long as the construction of the 'Shang-Zhao Artery' is completed, we will be able to quickly obtain sufficient support from the Shang Dynasty."

Emperor Zhao frowned slightly, "How is the construction of the main artery now? How long will it take for the construction to succeed?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the current construction situation is relatively smooth, and the interests from us and the Shang Dynasty have lured countries along the way to agree to the construction of the main artery.

However, the distance between our two parties is too far after all. According to the current construction speed, it is estimated that it will take two years before there is hope for a breakthrough. "

"Two years?" Emperor Zhao frowned even deeper, "Is there a better way? Two years is too long, we can't wait!"

As expected of being a Shangshu, Liang Fangwei said without batting an eye, "Your Majesty, according to the main artery plan formulated by the Shang Dynasty, the main artery will pass through Qingyun Kingdom.

The minister was still thinking about whether we can contact Qingyun Kingdom and build the main artery together? If Qingyun Kingdom's power is added, the main artery may be compressed to one year.

There is just one thing, Qingyun Kingdom is also very tyrannical, and it also received technical support from the Shang Dynasty. Qingyun Kingdom has recently expanded to 30,000 miles and is still expanding. It is currently one of the most powerful countries.

If we contact Qingyun Nation and allow Qingyun Nation to directly participate in the construction of the main artery, then Qingyun Nation will definitely make progress and demand more benefits. "

Emperor Zhao thought for a while and asked: "In any case, the main artery must pass through Qingyun Kingdom. Could it be that Qingyun Kingdom doesn't know the importance of the main artery if we don't take the initiative to contact you?"

"No, Your Majesty. Now the countries along the route don't know the importance of the main artery. The reason for this is that if we don't take the initiative to negotiate, the Qingyun Congress will not dare to go too far because of the face of the Shang Dynasty.

But if we take the initiative to negotiate, I am afraid that the Qingyun Congress will talk to us! "

Emperor Zhao squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then made a decision: "It's okay to lose a little profit, but what we are pursuing now is time. Get the main artery open as soon as possible.

In addition, Dong Taihe, Prime Minister of the Left, you once again organize a mission to the Shang Dynasty. This time, I will bring a heavy treasure to see if I can buy some second-generation technology from Shang Dynasty, or even third-generation technology.

Time, can't wait! "

At the end of the speech, Emperor Zhao couldn't help but sigh. It has been a long time since I have been in contact with the Shang Dynasty. Even if the Emperor Zhao is a fool, he can tell a little bit about the future development. In particular, Zhao Guo is now enjoying the sweetness of science, industry, and capitalism.

The reason why Zhao State is able to expand so quickly is largely due to the development of industry, which has obtained a large number of excellent weapons and ammunition; and industrial development has also provided material guarantee for the emergence of capital; capital circulation has further activated Zhao State. market.

Under the influence of these two aspects, Zhao State's national expansion was greatly promoted.

On the third day of the early dynasty, Zhao Guo Shangshu Liang Fangwei organized personnel to visit Qingyun Kingdom. And Dong Taihe contracted the 'international flight' and went to the Shang Dynasty.

Especially Dong Taihe here, carrying a lot of treasures. During the country merger this time, Zhao Guo merged a large number of countries and obtained a large number of treasures. Today, most of the treasures have been carried onto the plane, ready to be sent to the Shang Dynasty in exchange for better technology.

Emperor Zhao knew very well that when things were gone, he just went to grab them. But if the technology can't keep up, if it is surpassed by the surrounding countries, then Zhao Guoke will be in danger.

The Shang Dynasty was very good and fair. As long as there was money and wealth, many things were sold publicly.

But the Shang Dynasty was also very bad. This country only recognized money, not people! Even if Zhao Guo and the Shang Dynasty formed an alliance, the Shang Dynasty did give Zhao Guo a lot of benefits, but that's all!

…………

In fact, the Shang Dynasty no longer particularly cares about Zhao Guo. Because, the construction of the main artery between the Shang Dynasty and Zhao State is no longer so important!

This is so for a number of reasons.

First, politics pays attention to timeliness! The reason why the Shang Dynasty wanted to promote the main artery was to 'expand', especially the expansion of influence, and to make more people agree with the Shang Dynasty.

Through the main artery, the Shang Dynasty gained huge political benefits. But right now, no more! Moreover, now that the Shang Dynasty has a huge land area and no shortage of resources, Zhao's influence has been further reduced.

Second, there are already several countries, including the Taiyi Kingdom and the Western Chu Kingdom, who are negotiating with the Shang Dynasty. Zhao Guo already has a competitor!

Third, the technology of the Shang Dynasty has advanced by leaps and bounds, and a large number of masters gathered in the Shang Dynasty. Now they have defeated the northern monsters, and the development space is unprecedented.

Under such circumstances, the Shang Dynasty was not in a hurry. However, Li Xian and even the Shang Dynasty will definitely not take the initiative to say these things, and the speed of the construction of the main artery has not slowed down. It can only be said that in a mature regime, changes in internal politics will not be fully reflected in external behavior. The Shang Dynasty knew how to cover up its true thoughts, including its craziest ambitions!

When Zhao Guo began to negotiate anxiously, the Shang Dynasty was already conducting new explorations. In the evening of this day, a huge rocket with a height of 180 meters rose into the sky. Many masters around were amazed. But these masters don't know that this rocket is not ready to explore the moon as they imagined, but is ready to explore - the ascension channel!

After the rocket flew to the outer sky, it immediately headed for the ascension channel. Different from the last time, the last time was to save Xiao Xuan, so it was in a hurry. This time, it was for exploration and well-prepared.

In Beidou Valley, today we welcomed a distinguished guest——Xiao Xuan! Today's Xiao Xuan has initially possessed a relatively complete fighting ability of a fairy because he has received enough nourishment from the spirit of the fairy. It can be said that Xiao Xuan is not only the number one expert in the Shang Dynasty, maybe he is also the number one expert in Yingzhou.

Of course, everything cannot be absolute. The ability of a junior celestial being is roughly similar to that of a third-tier loose immortal. If a Tier 4 Loose Immortal came out now, it would be no problem to hang Xiao Xuan. Yingzhou is so big, if there is a Four Tribulations Loose Immortal hidden in a certain corner, it is not incomprehensible.

But right now Xiao Xuan obviously doesn't care about other things, but is completely concerned about the Ascension Passage.

Last time, the Shang Dynasty launched ten satellites to Dongsheng Shenzhou. On the one hand, it served the missions to Dongsheng Shenzhou, and on the other hand, it also served for the real exploration of the ascension channel.

The ascension channel was too far away from the location of the Shang Dynasty, and it was inconvenient to control it. In addition, the sky interfered with the signal, so a connected satellite had to be launched.

At this time, the rocket has adjusted its direction in Tianwaitian, reached the basic speed, and then began to fly forward slowly relying on inertia. This time I am not in a hurry, it is estimated that it will take about 20 days to arrive.

During this period, the rocket will change its orbit many times to observe the situation of the ascension channel from different angles. In particular, it is necessary to carefully observe how the passage of ascension connects the fairyland and the legendary fairyland, and see how the passage of ascension and the sky are connected. These will all become important materials for scientific research in the Shang Dynasty.

At this time, Xiao Xuan was standing behind the control room, standing next to Yun Feihong; after watching the rocket turn off and enter the inertial flight link, he couldn't help asking: "Minister Yun, when can we launch a manned flight to the ascension channel?" Aircraft. I want to go back and see for myself, and if possible, I want to get back my original body."

Yun Feihong is one of the few people Xiao Xuan admires, a woman propped up the sky of the Shang Dynasty, and strictly speaking, Yun Feihong is still half of Xiao Xuan's life-saver. That's why Xiao Xuan called Yun Feihong 'Minister Yun'; for the rest, Xiao Xuan mostly called them by their first names.

Yun Feihong was entering the working state at this time, and upon hearing the words, he replied in a formulaic way: "Whether to launch a manned aircraft outside the sky depends on the development of technology and the needs of the country.

First of all, it is a huge technical challenge to launch a manned aircraft to the ascension channel and return it. For the time being, we are not sure of it.

Second, reconnaissance such as launching satellites temporarily is enough to meet the needs of the country.

Third, your past body may have lost its vitality. According to what we are observing now, the Ascension Passage will kill all living things. Otherwise, the corpses left by ancient times would have been decomposed by bacteria and so on.

This speculation is the conclusion reached by Zhou Likun and Wu Bugu together. The probability is as high as ninety-nine percent. "

Xiao Xuan bared his teeth and smiled silently and bitterly. But then there was a tinge of anger. Not against Yun Feihong, but against the Ascension Passage and unknown enemies!

What kind of race is the so-called 'Mara'? Why target the ascension channel of Xianyu?

Time passed slowly while waiting, and envoys from various countries continued to come to the Shang Dynasty to negotiate, and even the newborn Bian State sent people to the Shang Dynasty to ask for and purchase technology and so on.

The negotiations between the Yaozu and the Shang Dynasty, after the initial tug-of-war, finally started to get on the right track. Some resources unique to the Yaozu began to enter the Shang Dynasty; and the Shang Dynasty also began to train the technicians of the Yaozu.

Zhao Guo also bought a lot of technology from the Shang Dynasty, including some of their dream technology-such as the separation technology of liquid aura, but it also paid a huge price.

At this time, the atmosphere in Yingzhou became more and more tense, and the evil spirit hanging over Yingzhou became more and more obvious. Ordinary people could feel a little impetuousness in their hearts. Many places do not need to be guarded by formations, and it is even impossible to retreat, meditate, or practice.

Evil spirits further interfere with the weather and the drought intensifies. There are more and more refugees, and the war is getting crazier. In many inland places, food has become the new 'currency'. Correspondingly, luck is getting weaker and weaker. There are only a few countries that have learned from the reforms of the Shang Dynasty and are growing rapidly.

But the changes in the outside world can no longer affect Xiao Xuan's heart at all.

Time passed little by little, and finally, the rocket was about to reach the ascension channel! At this time, it was late at night.

In the main control room of Beidou Valley, Yun Feihong's eyes also widened, and everyone looked serious. Exploring the ascension channel is not only the channel itself, nor is it just exploring the unknown conspiracy, but also includes too much scientific exploration.

Finally, the rocket reached the scheduled unknown. The main control room, which had been silent for a long time, erupted immediately.

"ignition!"

"Rocket turn around, slow down!"

"The speed will be 3 meters per second, approaching the ascension channel."

"Detect the surrounding environment, detect the nature of the ascension channel, and release the satellite."

...

One order after another was issued, and the first official mission to explore the Ascension Passage entered a critical moment.

Xiao Xuan also stood up with a tense, excited and expectant expression.
