Chapter 274 Chapter 801 Resurrection
Chapter 274 Chapter 8.01 Resurgence
Objectively, the world can never be completely known.
But "mystery" is a subjective concept. When the subject sets certain designated areas of the outside world as "unknowable", "mystery" appears.
Breaking the mystery is not to deny the objective world, but to rebuild the subjective attitude.
~
The arcane plane is identified as the most mysterious and complex area according to its physical rules.
In the currently public information, all travelers define this place as the base camp of "mystery". However, all things with uncertain sources may come from the influence of a series of "human factors" behind them.
~
For example: In a haunted town, a fountain pen will write red words every night at twelve o'clock, and if you use it to draw an eye at this time, then the eye will stare at you.
The exorcist hired by the mayor of the town with ten gold coins got this strange pen. The origin of the pen was easily found by tracing the origin: seventy-five years ago, a woman living in this house used this pen to stab her child to death.
But this is the first layer.
If you continue to investigate, there is a new "human factor" behind it, that is, this woman took a drop of sea monster tears, started a weird dance every night, and finally went crazy. And behind this is that the woman was controlled by her blood relatives through evil magic. This is the second layer.
Why did the sea monster shed such strange tears? That's because four hundred and fifty years ago, a sea monster was treated cruelly in an abandoned fishing village fifty kilometers away from here, and cursed the village. This is the third layer.
After checking this, the exorcist of the town dared not investigate further, because his Taoism could not cope with the consequences of going deeper.
But if the clergy of the large temple continued to investigate——
The evil rituals performed by the sorcerers in the fishing village at that time were to call the sea giant monster to bring good luck to the fishermen when the fish migrated every year. This is the fourth level.
The clergy have reached their limit here, after all, they are still mortals.
At this time, a demigod became interested in continuing to explore. This giant monster that was originally lurking in the sea was affected by the power of the evil god that spanned thousands of years. This is the fifth level.
Where are the core instruments of the relevant evil god rituals left in this world? This is the sixth level. The demigods must stop here, otherwise they will be arranged to "Arthas remove Frostmourne".
Of course, the specific plan of the evil god is the seventh level! And this plan attempts to tamper with time and space to target the opponent on which timeline, which is the eighth level.
~
This is just like the investigation of official rats in the ancient times. At first, the investigation was of small accountants, but later, too many people were involved and could not be investigated.
In this world, for every strange event, the exorcists dare not say that they can see through it to the end. They can only know more and doubt more. This is the mystery caused by subjectivity!
But——
Wei Keng: Everything here is really entangled, so that those who stand on the path are blocked by information barriers and cannot understand its root cause!
"Time-seismic plane" is a time-space entanglement, but it is not that complicated. But there are conditions for the existence of "fate".
Wei Keng wants to verify the dimension technology with his own consciousness as the core here.
...
Shenzhou plane. Qin Tongli 2260. The earth is changing, cyclones are generated one after another on the equator, and earthquakes and volcanoes in various places are also reported in the news every few years.
It has been 30 years since the last world chaos. Although war is cruel, most ordinary people on this blue planet also expect peace, but things go against their wishes.
According to the records of the European continent: Now is the period of confrontation between world powers.
According to the records of the Eastern Xia League, the world is now in the period of "feudal separatism".
Orientals can easily associate this current situation with the end of the Tang Dynasty. Internally, rituals and music collapsed, and warlords such as Zhu Wen, Li Keyong, and Li Maozhen rose together. Externally, Khitan, Tubo and other tribes are threats.
Of course, in the current situation, Shenzhou has not yet become a child emperor begging for survival from external forces. You should know that the extent of territorial expansion of Shenzhou and its external vassal states on the Blue Star is the largest in the past two hundred years.
In the north, the Bohai warlords control the heaviest ground forces, reaching the Arctic Ocean.
In the west, they include southern Tianzhu and South Africa.
In the south, on the Indonesian Peninsula, there are three major military governors in Nanyang supported by the Javanese governors.
As for the east, a force originally belonging to Shengyang was taken down by the Governor of the Fujian Navy, and then merged to establish a series of bases in Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii.
So many mixed forces are currently nominally obeying the Han land.
Just like the powerful forces at the end of the Tang Dynasty, claiming to support the court.
~
To understand the current situation, we have to review history.
After the last "world chaos", the Xia League after Wei Keng's death in the war was strong enough to compete with the old dynasty in the western region of Shenzhou. In order to control the situation and balance the internal structure of Shenzhou, a series of other factions headed by the Shenzhou royal family carried out unfair economic suppression on the areas dominated by the Xia League after the war.
So Bai Kun rebelled again. He fought in the name of abolishing the monarchy, and in less than five months, he defeated all the royal forces led by Guan. Then the Xialian forces tried the royal family members.
However, this internal revolution did not succeed.
Due to the hundreds of years of colonialism, the Guan family has expanded its influence beyond the Nine Provinces. Bai Kun's uprising suffered the same fate as Zhu Wen in the late Tang Dynasty. Even though he occupied the Nine Provinces of the Central Plains, his legitimate status was not recognized by the forces outside Shenzhou.
In the enlightened era after the information revolution, Bai Kun could not have done anything like "slaughtering the royal family".
Under the multi-party manipulation of the opposition outside, the royalists in Shenzhou helped the royal family members of the Guan family escape from the Xialian control area, instigated the independence of the vassal states in various regions, and imposed a substantial resource blockade on the interior of Shenzhou.
And Bai Kun's governance ability is not as good as that of Wei Keng, the founder of Xialian. Wei Keng looks reckless, but he is very good at maneuvering and making friends with people far away and attacking people near.
In the end, under the external oppression and the surge in internal contradictions, Xialian had to ease the tension with the outside world. ——Stopped the trial of the royal family and acquiesced to the restoration of the Guan family dynasty.
But even if Shenzhou is restored, it is just a ray of the afterglow of the dynasty, and it is difficult to defy fate!
The alliance of the vassal forces in Shenzhou was only to oppose the Xia League, and they raised the banner of protecting the emperor. When the Xia League disintegrated, and even split into three parts, the task of these external restoration forces was completed. After that, they only respected the "Guan family's court" on the surface, and actually began to establish their own vassal states in the local area.
The people of Xia League at that time failed to resist the pressure of restoration, but ten years later they realized that the current dynasty exchanged for that restoration was illusory.
~
Looking at the whole world, science and technology and economy have also fallen into a period of great stagnation. Although various weapons are still constantly born in the research institutes of various military forces, basic physical technology and people's livelihood technology have stagnated for many years.
In the entire "Time Seismic Spacetime Zone" (Command and Conquer), all historical lines will show that science and technology far exceed the waiting period of social and humanistic construction.
This Shenzhou timeline is no exception.
~
This is because the 15-year period of traditional compulsory education has reached the limit that most young and middle-aged people can bear. And high technology requires 30 years of research. Most people are out of touch with the development of the times.
Many human governance groups simply collapse in culture and education.
Since fifteen years of education are not enough to keep up with the forefront of science and technology, it is better to learn a few words and do arithmetic and then go out to mix in the world.
This kind of "collapse" is similar to Wei Keng's "lying down", but the essence is different.
Even giving up self-learning and knowledge updating is "collapse" without bones.
Lying down still has bones and ability, but is unwilling to stand for others under the condition of "rewards are not enough to motivate oneself". It may stand up at any time and follow the upper construction layer to go against it.
~
When the grassroots are not lacking in knowledge and advanced consciousness, even if they lack the mastery of productivity, they can still force the upper layer to be vigilant that "water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it."
But if the young and strong all "study is useless" and use violence and fists to despise those who wear glasses. Then the rulers also don't need to be "affectionate" to the lower level, and can implement the policy of "single people, weakening people, exhausting people, humiliating people, and impoverishing people" without hindrance.
Obviously, in the year 2270 of the Qin Tongli calendar, the global society is developing towards the latter.
Basic education in the five continents has regressed significantly, and a large number of regions have directly become Latin Americanized. Carnivores no longer govern in a refined manner, but directly control the people.
For example, the Rising Sun forces that fled to South America, with only three million people in the upper class, maintained their rule over 300 million South American natives after completing the construction of artificial intelligence, cold fusion energy, automated armament manufacturing, and the structure of the senior officer system.
Those people who grew up in the slums have been eating "artificial food" since childhood to mine resources and provide soldiers for the military group. What, rebellion? With the control ring directly implanted in the spinal cord, these giants from the North Pacific have perfectly solved the scourge of the red deer running wild.
~
As for the original United States of Eden and Europe, they are moving towards the direction of the end-product.
The Senate masters, those leaders who have the means of production, the highest scientific and technological authority, and the high-level military command, are all lying in the life support capsule, with their brains directly connected to the "rule core".
Next in line, the various science and technology departments, military departments, and business departments (departments that use money to recruit tool people in the slums) are all descendants of the leaders of these life support capsules.
Just like a group of lions, all the little lions are descendants of the lion king.
~
East Asia is slightly better than other regions due to the early revolution of Xialian.
Because decades ago, Master Wei generously stuffed the "dragon-slaying technique" into all classes, the people are familiar with the methods of the "rentier" class.
The reason why the Guan family was restored is that Xialian had gone too smoothly earlier.
The people lack an objective understanding of the difficulties, and after being blocked, there are too many noises about "whether to continue". Bai Kun is not as decisive as Wei Keng's "demolishing the family for the country", so it was disbanded like an unbreakable alliance.
But even so, today, the knowledge class that masters science and digitization within Xialian still forms a strong check and balance on the ruling group of Shenzhou's restoration.
The helmsmen of the dynasty in China can only use external threats to forge a knife hanging over everyone's head, and then pick up the "symbol of justice" left behind to ensure unity.

In the Antarctic waters, a Xuanwu-class submarine emerged from the floating ice.
This type of submarine is designed with very sharp edges and corners, and is obviously the latest generation of design.
Decades ago, submarines were still drop-shaped, such as the Soviet Union's Akula class. As nano-force field technology is analyzed, there is no need to work on the outer shell to maintain a fluid shape underwater.
The arc-shaped hull of submarines in the old era was forged and welded very difficult. A slight difference in the forging process can cause cracks due to different internal stresses of the two arc-shaped plates.
Due to the advancement of force field shock absorption and noise reduction technology, underwater ships directly use flat steel plates without considering the noise caused by edges and corners. This makes such a 20,000-ton submarine a mass-produced type and a campaign-level weapon!
Please note that it is a campaign-level, not a strategic-level.
In the 21st century of the main world, the military expenditure of various countries has been below 5% for many years, and submarines of this level of tonnage are strategic-level. The number of strategic nuclear submarines that the five permanent members can deploy to the ocean is in the tens, and no more than five fingers are on duty at all times. And it is these few large-tonnage nuclear submarines that are all equipped with strategic nuclear weapons, completing a cost-effective strategic nuclear deterrence.
But in the current Shenzhou plane, for the major powers, the main production bases have been protected by nano-shields and beam anti-missile towers. The era when one or two nuclear submarines carrying dozens of intercontinental ballistic missiles could deter major powers is long gone.
A nuclear submarine with a tonnage of 20,000 tons is just a battleship!
The Xuanwu submarine weighs 34,000 tons and has an underwater diving depth of 250 meters. It is exactly the maximum depth that seawater can cover. It carries 547 ballistic missiles with a range of 1,500 kilometers.
This belongs to the arsenal ship.
~
At present, this warship has fully opened the "Chengying" underwater hiding system and traveled all the way to the Antarctic-Xianhe Port.
Xianhe Port is an overseas research base set up by the Shenzhou Fenghou Group. On the surface, it is to preserve the world's seeds.
But in fact, when the submarine docked with the gate of the base under the ice, the world's most mysterious psychic base opened its door.
Guan Chenxiao walked into the base. After passing through four gates and undergoing fifteen levels of security verification, he came to the hall.
After showing his ID card and documents with dozens of signatures.
The three core staff members of the base began to operate. They opened the innermost liquid nitrogen storage area, and after a series of mechanical procedures, they took out a metal barrel from the 130-meter-deep storage room and sent it to the life support device sent by the submarine.
As the white mist spread, the metal barrel was sent to the laser quick-lysis room, the temperature was adjusted, and the thawing was completed in an instant.
Constantly spliced by life repair technology, and after decades of life metabolism, Wei Keng, who was severely injured by the Rising Sun Superpower fifty years ago, was repaired.
~
Here, when Wei Keng's consciousness returned, the first perception he obtained was "superpower" perception. And superpower began to penetrate the thick metal layer, confirming that this was a medical cabin. Outside the medical cabin, there were a large number of Fenghou Biological Medical Technicians wearing mechanical chemical protective suits.
After the superpower war in Qiongdi ended that year.
It was precisely because the weak superpower fluctuations still flashed from time to time in the remains of Wei Keng's body that Bai Kun did not close Wei Keng's coffin.
Instead, they were sent to the psychic technology center in the core of Shenzhou, trying to preserve Wei Keng's traces with advanced psychic technology.
Xialian disintegrated, and at first all the former heritage of Xialian was not favored by the restored dynasty, and this project was sent to Antarctica at that time.
But only a few years later, the measures that the restored dynasty tried to carry out to "new dynasty atmosphere" were not satisfactory.
Shenzhou's vassal states did not become obedient because of the return of the local dynasty. On the contrary, the vassal states demanded the Shenzhou mainland for the merit of supporting the establishment, and these foreign vassal governors became more arrogant and domineering.
The restored Guan family, the new emperor is from the Guan Yiyan lineage.
This is not a weak master who "measures the material resources of China and wins the favor of foreign vassal states".
For the sake of stabilizing the public opinion of Shenzhou, the emperor did not indulge those vassal states. He stopped the liquidation of Xialian and even agreed with Xialian's previous governance philosophy.
The Antarctic experimental base began to be restored to pay money.
Just like the end of all dynasties, "conservatism is to preserve the rule, and reform is to make the rule continue!"
~
However, Wei Keng, who returned again, was a little unhappy.
Wei Keng complained to Bai Kun: "Didn't you know how to destroy the body back then? So I have to revive with this identity."
