Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1067: The Fall of Rome

"Is she better?"

【She is eating boiled eggs like crazy. She is angry.】

"If it were me, I would probably be angry too, knowing that my country had finally failed. Anyone would have high blood pressure. Let her eat if she wants. Anyway, this thing is a consumable. Recently, the cave has entered a period of development, and the supply of boiled eggs has been very stable. Well, I understand."

[So, was Rome really miserable at that time? ]

"It's not a tragic problem - Rome is simply gone."

【Didn’t Rome recover? 】

"Rome will never be restored." Victoria's voice became extremely clear. "Once the empire is destroyed, I know that Rome will never be able to restore its country."

[Why? I think Rome can still be saved. Why can't it be restored? ]

"Because if it was destroyed in 1453, the empire was in a period of division at that time, and the Western Empire had not yet been conquered and recovered. From historical records, the Greek region at that time was filled with a large number of Slavs, and the only people who could be traced back to Romans were the nobles in the imperial court. So once the empire was destroyed, our entire civilization would also be destroyed, because those Slavs had no reason to choose to be loyal to Rome. Rome and the Ottomans were the same to them. By that time."

Victoria paused and said, "As Shangluo said, the only hope for Rome's revival at that time may lie in Venice."

【In Venice? ? Why? 】

"Because Venice around 1453 was a legitimate doomsday fortress built by refugees from the Western Empire. It had a complete Roman heritage and its own elders and senate. Although I don't want to admit it, if the empire really perished, I'm afraid even Venice would be more orthodox than the local resistance forces."

[That’s the end of it! What can Venice save? Venice can’t even save itself! ]

"So I said, if the empire had perished in 1453, Rome would have fallen into the abyss of history forever. By the way, it is Victoria who is speaking now in a state of stress response. Victoria in a normal state has fainted."

[Ah, then. Do you have anything to say? ]

"I," Victoria's anger was rising, "I will dye the sands of the Sahara red with the blood of the Vandals, and I will water the gardens of Italy with the tears of the Goths!"

"Calm down. Calm down. Your heart rate is speeding up."

"I'm in a state of stress, that's it. I'm going to rest. If I don't rest, I'll faint again. I don't know which mode will be activated by then. Shangluo."

"I'm here."

"I want to save that Rome."

"I suggest waiting until you wake up. You're already stressed."

"Okay. I'll think about it. I'll force myself to calm down. See you later." Victoria's voice disappeared.

【She went to rest. She was really angry. 】

"So I asked her to calm down. Her rationality has been exhausted. If she continues to hold on, her brain will be burned out. I completely understand her, but that's what has already happened, and I can't help her. Rather than this, we should consider whether the oxidation reaction will burn out something that shouldn't be reacted if we turn the whole country into a 'hyperbaric oxygen chamber'."

[For example, allowing too much information to be released? ]

"I think, yes. She saw a lot of things she shouldn't have seen. Those things have already happened, and they are useless to her now. Instead, they will make her angry. For her, this is also 'the past cannot be brought back'. I am very concerned about why she was able to see such a complete 'Istanbul', and how it worked."

[So you plan to take a break in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber? ]

"There's no rush. Where can I find so much spiritual energy to fill the entire area? I'm worried that just doing the experiment will cause problems. After all, sometimes there's no difference between spiritual energy and demonic energy. If the excess spiritual energy causes many things to become spirits, that's not what I want. But..."

He thought for a while, "In a sense, this might be a social problem in Heaven. After entering the stage of Heaven, mortal diseases are just minor ailments to us, and can be easily purified by spiritual energy. But on the other hand, Heaven also has its own problems. The Five Degenerations of Heaven limits their lifespans. The general of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, who I haven't met yet, is suffering from the Five Degenerations of Heaven. The medicine of Heaven also faces problems in this regard."

[So from this perspective, monsters have become a public security problem for the Heavenly Court, right? ]

"Well, so, these all require trade-offs. I have to make the decision on matters in Heaven, so I have to be more cautious. In short, we have to make ourselves stronger first. Only when we are strong enough can we talk about opportunities. Otherwise, even if the opportunity comes to us, I am afraid we will not be able to enjoy it - what did Guoxing say? Are you ready?"

[He said it's up to you. He's not in a hurry. He didn't sleep last night, so he's been waiting for you.]

"Huh? Why? Is he that excited about fixing a cannon?"

[I heard it was very hot last night, so I couldn’t sleep. 】

"Hot? If it's hot, turn on the air conditioner. Can a living person be killed by the heat in an air-conditioned room? It can't be that the heat is turned on by mistake."

[I'm also curious. Well, anyway, he was waiting in the car early in the morning. He said that because the car had air conditioning or something, he ate breakfast in the car.]

"Then let's go. Although he doesn't seem to be in a hurry, it's almost time."

The place they were going to was quite far away - the "Mount Chendan Baru" where the cannon was located was not in the center of the mountains of Borneo, but in the northernmost part of Borneo, more than 900 kilometers away from Pontianak in a straight line.

In fact, they could have chosen a closer place to build the cannons, but considering that the mountain was close to the sea, it was convenient to transport supplies by sea, so the cannons were built there.

"Oh, you're here?" Zheng Shijie nodded at him. Although he was bleary-eyed, he was still awake. For him, who was already a Qigong practitioner, not sleeping occasionally was not a big problem. He could make up for it later. What made him even more uncomfortable was turning on the air conditioner.
"Is your air conditioner broken? That's not right. Your house shouldn't have only one air conditioner."

"Well, forget it. This is a family matter and I am embarrassed to talk about it. Anyway, let's go to the airport now and we will be there in an hour. You can order airplane meals. The airplane meals here are not just jelly. I asked them to prepare real airplane meals."
