Another world conquest manual

The content of the footage captured by the drone is not long, only about five or six minutes.

But the amount of information contained in it is really quite large.

After watching the video, Lin Li asked Lin Ziming: "Colonel Lin, how big is this city?"

Lin Ziming had obviously done his homework and immediately reported a number: "The area of ​​this city is about 16 square kilometers, the size is close to a square, and the population is temporarily unknown."

"A square of 16 square kilometers, that is, a layout with a length and width of 4,000 meters?" Lin Li quickly sketched a model in his mind, and then asked the person next to him:

"Professor Ma, you are an expert in humanities. Generally speaking, is a city of this size considered large or small?"

Professor Ma, as Lin Li calls him, whose full name is Ma Ning, is a famous professor of applied linguistics at Nanling University.

At the same time, Ma Ning is also a senior researcher in humanities and history and one of the honorary consultants of Nanling Museum.

The main task of Ma Ning's trip is to conduct a preliminary analysis of the language and culture that may exist in other worlds.

While providing cultural information support to the Fire Team.

We must also make basic preparations for the possible third type of contact.

Facing Lin Li's question, Ma Ning took a sip of the wolfberry tea in the thermos cup and said leisurely:

“Sixteen square kilometers is almost equivalent to the size of a county town in modern times—I’m referring to the kind of county town that is not a county-level city, not to mention how big it is.

But in terms of ancient background, let’s put it this way: in the history of China and even the world before 1000 AD, a city of this size was not considered small. "

In order to make it easier for everyone to understand this concept more intuitively, Ma Ning gave another example:

"Everyone knows about Chang'an in the Han Dynasty. During the Han Dynasty, the urban area of ​​Chang'an was only about 36 square kilometers, and this was already among the top ten cities in feudal history."

Zeng Gucheng is a pure historical idiot. He smacked his lips when he heard this: "36 square kilometers is one of the top ten cities in terms of area? Which city was the largest in ancient times? How many square kilometers is it?"

Ma Ning glanced at the fat old man and patiently explained: "The largest city in ancient times was also Chang'an, but it was Chang'an City during the Sui and Tang Dynasties four hundred years after the Han Dynasty.

But even Chang'an at its peak in ancient times had an urban area of ​​only more than 80 square kilometers and a population of over one million, which is only equivalent to the urban area of ​​an ordinary prefecture-level city today.

Of course, considering the technological level and social productivity of ancient times, this is already a miracle that is difficult to replicate. "

After explaining history to a group of science students, Ma Ning pointed to a corner of the screen: "Look here again, Colonel Lin. Please enlarge this part of the screen a little bit."

The scene Ma Ning was referring to was outside the city, near the bottom left of the screen.

Through the footage recorded by the drone, it can be distinguished that it is a continuous slope.

As Lin Ziming zoomed in, the scene on the slope became clearer and clearer.

I saw that on this continuous slope, a series of wave-like contour lines were developed.

These contour lines are distributed in layers along the steep hillside, like steps built for giants to ascend to the sky.

"Huh?"

Lin Li exclaimed softly and looked at Ma Ning: "Are these terraced fields?"

Ma Ning nodded: "Yes, this is a very standardized terraced field.

Leader Lin, you may not know that terraced fields are one of the important symbols of the development of farming technology, and farming technology can most of the time be used to judge or even define the bottom line of civilization development. "

Lin Li was not a fool, so he naturally understood the meaning of this sentence: "Professor Ma, in what dynasty did terraced fields appear in China?"

"According to historical research, it should be the Qin and Han dynasties," Ma Ning said, "In other words, the civilization system in which this city is located can generally be used as a reference for the Qin and Han civilizations.

Whether there is extraordinary power in this world needs to be explored separately, but as long as it is not exaggerated to the point that everyone can fly into the sky and escape from the earth, then at least the people's livelihood foundation of this civilization can be compared to the Qin and Han civilization to a certain extent. "

Lin Li was silent for two seconds, and then suddenly realized: "Damn it, no wonder you used Chang'an in the Han Dynasty for comparison. You have already noticed it when you were co-authoring? I'm telling you, you literati are too stupid, aren't you?"

Ma Ning laughed twice, and his mustache curled up proudly:

"It's not my fault. There are specialties in the arts. It's rare to come to a different world once in this life. How can I not show off my expertise? Seeing how enthusiastic you all are in scientific research, I am not willing to be lonely. .”

Lin Li glared at him angrily and wondered where in the team such jokes came from.

Then he picked up the ballpoint pen and hit Wang Qiang, who was eating melon and watching a show, on the head again.

Wang Qiang:? ? ? ?

Then Lin Li coughed slightly and said to everyone: "Okay, let's get back to the business. So far, except for the medical team that has not collected living samples, the first phase of our Xinhuo team's mission has been successfully completed.

Xiao Wang, Lao Zeng, and Comrade Yaohua, I will give you ten minutes to sort out the relevant reports on sampling and surveying and hand them over to Colonel Lin.

Colonel Lin, please go through the light gate in person and hand over all the information, including the drone video, to Boss Qin at the Shencheng base camp.

Then ask the core layer to give new instructions and see if there are any new personnel and materials that need to be handed over.

Oh, by the way, while waiting for new instructions from the base camp, each group can temporarily take turns to rest and replenish their energy.

After all, some comrades' bodies may not be able to handle the long hours of working in another world in the middle of the night. "

Lin Ziming and others all responded: "Roger it!"

ten minutes later.

Except for the medical team, the analysis reports of all teams were put into a confidential bag and brought back to Earth by Lin Ziming, leader of the special service team of the Xinhuo Exploration Team.

At this time, more than seven hours had passed since all members of the Xinhuo Team passed through the Light Gate.

Five hours later, Lin Ziming returned again.

This time, traveling through the Light Gate with him were two hundred well-equipped soldiers, dozens of professionals in various fields, and a strategic supply weighing thirty-eight tons.

These materials are of various types.

In addition to basic food, medicine, and tents.

It also includes special cement, precision instruments in various fields, a military off-road vehicle, and.

There are a large number of buns, headscarves and ancient linen clothing ranging from old to new.

Of course, there is also a brand new instruction stamped with the seal of the base camp:

Launch the second phase of the exploration plan, dispatch scouts, collect information on discovered cities, and be ready for contact with foreign civilizations at any time.
