Another world conquest manual

Four kilometers is not a long road.

It took Julien about half an hour to arrive at the city gate.

After arriving at the city gate, he did not rush into the city. Instead, he walked slowly along the mud-yellow city wall and made a small circle outside the city.

The miniature military camera on the collar clearly recorded the appearance of the city wall.

And with the help of directional signal transmitters and the relay of high-frequency base stations outside the city, the picture was transmitted in real time to the Xinhuo Camp eighteen kilometers away.

In the headquarters of the ‘Xinhuo’ team.

A group of experts and scholars who have newly arrived at the camp are gathered in front of a 56-inch LED screen, constantly analyzing and discussing the useful information in the screen.

Although previous drones have also photographed the outer edge of the city wall, it was a top-down bird's-eye view after all.

No matter how high the shooting accuracy of military drones is, and how close the focal length can be, it will still not be able to match the quality of face-to-face shooting.

In the picture transmitted back by Yulian, some details that the drone could not show were all clearly revealed at this moment.

For example, the alien language that was originally unresolved is now confirmed to be completely different from the Earth language system.

In addition, Xinhuo Camp also has a more detailed understanding of the height and appearance of humans in other worlds.

Coincidentally, these alien humans are similar in appearance to Chinese people, with black hair and black eyes, and graceful faces, not as three-dimensional as Westerners.

However, compared to Chinese people, people from other worlds are slightly shorter in stature, but their extreme individuals are very tall - in the picture sent back by Yulian, everyone found a strong man about 2.4 meters tall. There is even a chance on earth to compete for the Guinness Book of Records.

When Julien finished photographing the city wall.

A middle-aged scholar wearing glasses suddenly frowned and looked puzzled: "That's not right. The height of the city wall is about 18 meters, which is higher than Jinling in the Ming Dynasty. This height is abnormal. That's what happened in the Tang Dynasty." Now Chang'an's city wall is only a little over six meters tall.

Logically speaking, for a city of this size, the city wall would generally be considered to be seven meters high. "

Lin Li asked: "Could it be that their basic productivity level is relatively high? They have more manpower and material resources to build city walls?"

The middle-aged scholar shook his head and said:

"Captain Lin, did you notice the scene taken by Platoon Leader Yu at the city gate?

A considerable number of the people coming and going were wearing patched clothes, and their faces and bodies were obviously malnourished. Refugees even accounted for half of the people entering the city.

Regardless of whether the upper class has extraordinary power, at least the basic productivity of this city cannot be enough to build such a wall at will. "

Seeing that Lin Li was a little confused, another older scholar added:

“In social morphology, the minimum standard for a surplus of basic productivity is the emergence of a large number of middle peasants. This reason is not difficult to understand. Only when people are fed and clothed will people have the energy to squander the surplus productivity.

In other words, if the walls of this city are built so high, they must have some purpose. Let me give you my personal opinion. Could they be used to defend against foreign enemies? "

"Teacher Qian, I agree with your view," the middle-aged scholar adjusted his glasses and pointed at the screen: "You can look here, right, right here."

The scene that the middle-aged scholar pointed to was located a few meters above the entrance to the city gate, where there was a significant dark mark: "Is it possible that this is dried blood?"

Then he pointed out a few more places:

"There, here, and here. The colors in the above locations are of different shades. Combined with the suspected blood stains, could these be traces left by filling in the city wall after it was damaged in the battle?"

After listening to the middle-aged scholar's judgment, everyone fell silent.

Lin Li couldn't help but touch his chin.

If it is true as this scholar said.

It allows a city to choose the latter between people's livelihood and city defense.

Then this world may not be very peaceful.

the other side.

After collecting enough information about the city wall, Julien returned to the city gate and lined up after the crowd.

Perhaps due to the large number of refugees, the soldiers guarding the city only made a rough inspection before letting Julien into the city.

"Xu, I've passed the first level."

After entering the city, Julien quickly approached the street corner.

Seeing no one around, he took the opportunity to adjust his headscarf and touched the earphones with his fingers: "Matcha, matcha, here is pudding. I have entered the city and will make the second dessert."

"Pudding pudding, this is Matcha. The first dessert has been received. It tastes great. Please continue making it."

After hanging up the communication, Julien let out a breath.

At the same time, he concentrated and recalled the city structure map captured by the drone in his mind.

Soon, Julien located the largest street in the city, and the code name given by the headquarters was the capital letter 'A'.

Then he stooped up and wandered along the street timidly like an ordinary refugee.

This urban main road, code-named ‘A’, is about twenty meters wide and five to six hundred meters long, running through the center of the city.

The flow of people on the street is barely noticeable. Various shops are opened along the street, and various sounds are intertwined. It is the economic center of the entire city.

But in Julien's eyes, what was dancing on this street was not human figures, but living, walking pieces of information:

In restaurants and vegetable markets, you can collect food types from other worlds;

The vehicles traveling on the streets can provide information about transportation tools from other worlds, which can determine the industrial level of this city to a certain extent.

Some animal-drawn vehicles can also collect information about creatures from other worlds - for example, just now, Julien saw a creature that looked like a cow but had six legs dragging a truck past;

The mobile stalls can identify the minimum value of the currency of the other world. Combined with the transaction pictures of some other medium and large stores, and with a little analysis using a supercomputer, the currency system of the other world can be understood;

Coupled with the various sounds collected by recording equipment, linguists can at least analyze some commonly used words in other worlds, and the commonly used words of a language family are often very critical basic mother texts.

All of the above are the benefits of discovering gathering points of large creatures.

As long as they can get mixed in, intelligence is only a matter of time.

Even if you don't understand the language, you can still knock out a hole.

Just like the earth.

Who knows if there are scouts from foreign civilizations like Lian in a certain city, secretly collecting intelligence?

Ahem

Back to business.

The length of Street A is only a few hundred meters, which is not too long. With the foot strength of an elite scout like Julien, he can complete it in a few minutes.

But in order to ensure adequate sampling, he would often stop after taking a few steps and squat outside a shop to collect information.

For example, in front of several shops with relatively good business, Julien squatted for an hour.

Julien was not afraid of being tired, but he was worried that he had collected less dialogue data and that it would be difficult for the headquarters to conduct sample analysis. ,

So after all the busy work, most of the day has passed.

Along the way, Julien always felt a little awkward - there was something wrong with the atmosphere of this street.

There were a large number of homeless people wandering the streets, and the pedestrians on the road looked in a hurry.

Even in those shops that are doing business, customers and shopkeepers complete transactions absentmindedly.

It looked like something big was about to happen.

Just when Julien was planning to visit Avenue A again to see if he could find any clues, a new communication came from the headquarters:

"Pudding pudding, this is matcha. The second dessert has been tasted. The ingredients are rich and the taste is substantial. Please start making the third dessert. Repeat, please start making the third dessert."

Julien immediately ducked to the corner. Although he was eager to find out what was happening in the city, a soldier's bounden duty is to obey orders, so he immediately replied: "Pudding received, pudding received, now starting to prepare the third dessert, preparation process It may take a long time, please wait patiently.”

After hanging up the communication, Julien found an intersection at random and left A Street quietly.

His next target is the largest mansion in the city: the large manor with eight entrances and eight exits in the previous drone footage.

It is also the most luxurious building in the city - apart from this manor, the largest courtyard in the entire city is only a four-in-one layout, which is twice the size.

If A Street is the economic center of this city.

So what that mansion represents is undoubtedly the center of power in this city.

At the same time, it is also the building most likely to possess extraordinary power.
