Behind me is the earth

After the ministers went out, Tuoba Yuan left the shaman Shangrong behind: "Shaman, cough..."

As Tuoba Yuan spoke, he felt his throat itchy and coughed for a while. Blood was already coughed up on the handkerchief, and it became hot and painful. From his throat to his chest, it felt as if someone had cut him with a razor blade.

Holding back the pain, Tuoba Yuan continued: "The human sacrifices have been prepared, when can we prepare the blood pool to sacrifice to the gods?

The situation in the world is unpredictable, and the imperial commander's personal expedition is imminent. I don't want to wait any longer. "

"Your Majesty, the elders of the temple are ready. Tomorrow is an auspicious day and we can completely remove your Majesty's injuries!

Today, let’s take the human sacrifices to the Temple of Heaven. "

Shang Rong stood up and said.

The so-called blood pool sacrifice is a ceremony in which 10,000 people are sacrificed to the shaman god and receive feedback from the shaman god.

This has long been a common sacrificial culture in Daru Kingdom.

"Okay, Shaman, let's get ready!"

When the emperor heard this, his face was filled with joy, he stood up and personally escorted the shaman to the door.

"Your Majesty, please stay. It's cold outside. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

The shaman bowed his hands towards the emperor and walked into the cold world.

The status of the temple in Daru Kingdom is extraordinary, and at some times, it even overrides the imperial power.

Even though Tuoba Yuan is now so powerful, he still respects the temple very much.

This kind of respect is not only because of religious culture, but now also because of the powerful force that the temple controls, which cannot be ignored.

The news at Nuange's small meeting is unknown, but the news from Daru's court was not long after the court was dismissed, and radio waves flew to Qidu.

Qidu.

On the top floor of Qiwang Building, Ren Pingsheng was sitting in a large flat-floor office with clear windows. The layout here is very luxurious. The space is simply divided, but not completely divided. It is integrated into a whole, but it is clearly layered.

Opposite the window, Liu Qiang, Gao Men, Xiao Wan, Liu Wen, Wei Feng and other members of the special leadership group, as well as Lu Feihu and Qin Sheng and Bai Hu who had returned to Beijing to report on their work, gathered here temporarily after receiving the news. .

The masculine light shines warmly through the window in this conference room opened in a screen style.

"It seems that the Daru people's second large-scale attack is about to begin."

Liu Qiang finished reading the telegram, raised his head and said.

"We want to keep developing, but the enemy is not willing to give us this time. However, this is also a good thing. Only a thief can be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days.

Nowadays, most companies with production capacity in Wuzhou are producing for military orders, causing resource allocation to flow to military production, leading to the decline of the private economy and inflation.

If this battle can completely hurt the Daru people, and even drive the Daru people out of Humen Pass again, our country will be stable and develop steadily. At least, we can develop steadily for a few years. When domestic productivity further improves, we won’t be afraid of war! "

Ren Pingsheng held a pen in his hand, writing and drawing on the latest map book on the table.

Now, a new version of the block map has been drawn and printed.

However, because there are not so many manpower and material resources to carry out the survey, and there are not enough reference objects for reference, the scale, size and even details of the map are not accurate enough. However, it is still sufficient for reference comparison.

"The territory of Daru Country is so huge. Before there was a map, it was difficult to intuitively feel the size of this barbarian country!"

Liu Qiang sighed: "It seems that it will be very difficult for us to annihilate the Daru people."

"What we lack most now is time. As long as we can drive the Daru people out of Humen Pass, we can develop steadily for more than ten years. When our comprehensive national strength increases in the future, what else are we afraid of?

At that time, it will not be the Daru people coming to invade us again, but us going out to fight against the barbarians! "

Liu Wen said.

The Ministry of Industry is a key department in the country. As the Minister of Industry, Liu Wen has great power and high prestige in the country.

Having mastered a large amount of industrial data, he was full of confidence in Qi.

"The Ministry of National Defense, let's discuss the strategy for dealing with the enemy this time."

Ren Pingsheng raised his head and said to Liu Qiang and others.

"Your Majesty, the puppet emperor of the Daru Kingdom is going to lead a personal expedition this time, and his offensive will be very fierce. I speculate that his domestic troops fighting against the northern tribes and the Ross Empire may be deployed to the battlefield in the Central Plains.

These soldiers, as well as the dozen or so 'savage' tribes they had just conquered, were very powerful in combat.

At that time, we will have a head-on confrontation with the Daru people again.

And, this time, we are particularly noteworthy about Zhongzhou. "

Gaomen said as he took out a tablet computer, connected it to the display screen on one wall, opened the map, and drew arrows on the tablet with a pen.

The arrows point directly from Jingzhou Province and Xinpan Province to Wuzhou Province.

"This time, after such a long period of time, our three major organizations have captured a large number of Daru country spies, but there will definitely be fish that slipped through the net. The barbarians must have a certain understanding of us, and they will definitely take advantage of Wuzhou. .

Then, on the Zhongzhou front, the enemy will inevitably invest a large number of troops, storm Zhongzhou, and penetrate directly into Wuzhou Province. We must be prepared for this. "

Gaomen has drawn a red line from Zhongzhou to Jingzhou.

This is the line of fire between the Beiwan Group and the Daru Army.

With the input of 50,000 new troops on the battlefield, plus the advance of Zheng Fangxing's three divisions, and the total deployment of 50,000 militia troops, 150,000 people left Yuntai County and entered Boming County of Zhongzhou Province. The situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed, changing the previous decline. Daru's army was defeated steadily and continued to lose ground.

Now Boming County, Guo County, Shadong County, and Hengfeng County have all been recovered.

Now, the Qi army and the Beiwan army are furiously attacking the Hengbin and Anyang areas.

If there is no support from the rear of Daru's army, the eastern front army led by the second prince Tuoba Chang can be driven out of Zhongzhou Province this time.

"Now, the barbarians on the battlefield in Zhongzhou have become smarter and have learned to dig trenches and individual soldier pits.

They also used the method of building tunnels to attack our military positions several times, causing considerable losses. "

Liu Qiang said: "We lack heavy firepower on the battlefield in Zhongzhou, so the attack on the barbarian soldiers is still weak."

Ren Pingsheng put down the pen in his hand, looked at the markings on the map, and said: "We still have no way of knowing the enemy's current troop deployment. We can only make targeted arrangements after the barbarians send troops.

The garrison in Yueyang must be moved forward to the north of the Lan Yangtze River. If the enemy sends troops to attack Zhongzhou, we will have to dispatch troops and generals to divide the troops into Zhongzhou, so the Qi army will be stretched thin. "

The new recruits have not yet completed their training, and the Ministry of National Defense does not intend to put them on the battlefield immediately until there is a crisis.

The small number of regular soldiers is still a huge constraint.

"I think the navy can be a surprise force this time. It transports a force to Hufang Port in Tan Pan Province, where it attacks the enemy's logistics supply lines, and takes the opportunity to publicize policies and mobilize armed forces behind enemy lines.

Today, under Daru's exploitation, countless Han people in the North have been forcibly beaten into slavery. Under the hatred of their home country and the oppression of barbarians, countless people who are willing to resist will inevitably stand up. We fully mobilize these people to resist the tyranny of the barbarians and kill the barbarians who rob their homes.

Let the Daru have a taste of backyard fire! "

After Ren Pingsheng finished speaking, the eyes of everyone present suddenly lit up.

"Wonderful!"

Liu Qiang clapped his hands and said: "In this way, the barbarian backyard is on fire, and the barbarian army on the front line is uneasy!

Since the Manzi court moved south to Ningyang City, a large number of nobles and military officers moved their families to Yunxiang Province, Ningyang Province, Yuanzhou Province, Xinpan Province, Jingzhou Province and other places in the northeast. There was chaos in the rear. , the barbarians fighting at the front are worried about their families, and the battle will inevitably be affected.

At that time, it's up to me to advance or retreat. "

"Liu Qiang, it's up to you to arrange this matter."

Ren Pingsheng ordered.

"good."

Liu Qiang agreed.

"Xiao Wan, Wei Feng, and the spies in Ningyang City are always paying attention to the movements of Ningyang City. Any news will be reported at any time. The news will be copied to the Ministry of National Defense and Zhongshu Pavilion."

Ren Pingsheng said to Xiaowan and Wei Feng again.

The two of them responded quickly.

The meeting was not long and only the general strategic guidelines were set. The rest of the specific situation will be analyzed in detail after Daru's army sends troops.

"Master, yesterday, Han Ling'er said that he had developed a space bomb. After the bomb is thrown, it can form a space hole with great suction force out of thin air, sucking everything around it in."

Xiaowan and Ren Pingsheng said while taking the elevator.

"Space bomb?"

When Ren Pingsheng heard this, he immediately became interested.

This description makes it seem like a black hole was created out of thin air that absorbs everything around it.

He asked: "Where is Han Linger now?"

"At this time, we should be at the testing ground in the western suburbs."

Xiaowan said: "Sister should be there too."

"Let's go take a look."

Ren Pingsheng made a temporary decision.

The motorcade parked at the entrance of Qiwang Building headed towards the western suburbs.

Because Han Ling'er was studying meteorological magic, in order to prevent huge damage, a testing ground was established in an open area far away from Qidu and surrounding villages and towns.

After the convoy got off the highway, they walked for a while on the dirt road that was frozen hard in winter before they saw a row of brick-concrete houses.

The outside of the house was blocked by a barbed wire fence, and a sign saying "Military restricted area, no approach allowed" was hung on the door.

There were also several soldiers from the Special Security Bureau security company at the door.

When the convoy approached, Han Jun poked his head out, took out a sticker, and scanned the barcode on the soldier's code scanner gun. The soldier then opened the door and saluted to welcome the convoy's arrival.

This kind of barcode is actually the kind found on packaging bags on Earth, and the barcode scanner is also very common, but as an identity mark here, it is very safe.

Even the enemy's spies turned into high-ranking officials of Qi State, but as long as they could not show such personal identification marks, they would not be able to enter important areas such as these.

As soon as he entered the compound, Ren Pingsheng swept away his thoughts and saw a person in the testing ground, Ruan Tang, who was exercising his powers.

What surprised him was that in the testing ground where there was a pile of scrap metal, a robot that was as tall as one person and looked very simple was crawling on the ground, holding a bolt-action rifle in both hands.

Ren Pingsheng could even see through its damaged shell the rotating gyroscope in the robot's body, as well as the gear system, core motors, and sensors on its head.

Although it is simple, its movements when crawling forward are very flexible and fast, giving people a real-life feeling.

Ruan Tang also obviously saw Ren Pingsheng getting out of the car. He immediately flew up and landed more than ten meters away before walking over.

"Your Highness."

She walked up to Ren Pingsheng with a smile on her face.

"Did you control that robot with supernatural powers, or did it move on its own?"

These are two completely different concepts.

If it is power control, it is an extension of Ruan Tang's power. In fact, it is of little value to Ren Pingsheng.

If it moves on its own, it means that this kind of robot has the potential to be put into use.

Whether on the battlefield or in the private industrial system, there are many application scenarios.

"The robot moves on its own. I only need to input a specific instruction to it, and it has the ability to complete simple tasks independently."

Ruan Tang said proudly in front of Ren Pingsheng.

"Go and have a look."

Ren Pingsheng heard this and was very interested in this robot.

At this time, Han Ling'er also came out. Seeing that the king went to see the robot first, she followed him.

Arriving at the testing site, Ren Pingsheng found that the robot was indeed crude. It didn't even have a shell on its body, many threads were exposed, the lubricating grease looked dark, and the heat dissipation pipes on its body were all dragged to the ground.

"stand up!"

Ruan Tang demonstrated and shouted.

The crawling robot rolled to the side and stood up. It behaved like a human, and it was smoother than a human.

"Shoot at the 100-meter target!"

Ruan Tang ordered.

"Crack~pop!"

At the moment the command was conveyed, the robot had already completed the action of pulling the bolt, loading the gun, aiming and pulling the trigger. The bullet came out of the chamber instantly. A "clang" sound was heard in the distance, and the iron target hung on the wooden stake a hundred meters away shook violently. .

"charge!"

Ruan Tang shouted again.

The robot immediately stuck the bayonet on the rifle, charged forward with the rifle, and performed a textbook charge and bayonet fight for everyone.

"Pa bang bang bang..."

Seeing this, Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but clap his hands and applaud.

Seeing this, the people behind him also applauded.

"Is this robot easy to produce?"

Ren Pingsheng first asked expectantly.

Ruan Tang shook his head: "I assembled it myself. If I do it myself, I can make more than a dozen a day without any problem.

But if you want to mass-produce it, it will be very difficult. "

Seeing Ren Pingsheng's disappointed expression, Ruan Tang quickly said: "If it is to produce a simplified version, as long as the production line is determined, it can also be mass-produced. It may not be suitable for use on the battlefield, but it can still be used for industrial production. "(End of chapter)
