Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty-Three: Imperial Power Can't Go Down to the County
"In order to build an aura version of a computer, I thought of talismans, which are runes."
With the research of the institute, the talisman is divided into one basic unit that cannot be divided into another. Such basic units are called runes.
As early as the time of Liaozhai World, the research institute began to study talismans.
At that time, due to practical conditions, the research on talismans was very limited. It was not until the Liaozhai world was upgraded that Bai Yunzi came to the Liaozhai world as the leader of Maoshan, and also presented the fundamental classics of the Maoshan lineage - a copy of the Big Cave True scripture.
Bai Yunzi said at that time that it was said that this Great Cave Scripture contained dozens of innate divine inscriptions.
Although Xiong Yan knew that Bai Yunzi did this in order to spread Maoshan Taoism among the institute and attract more people to study the Great Cave Scripture, Xiong Yan did not refuse.
"So far, we have discovered a total of thirty-six innate divine inscriptions. To be honest, we cannot understand the meaning of these innate divine inscriptions. We cannot even fully describe these innate divine inscriptions."
This is the most embarrassing point.
The innate divine inscriptions are placed there, and you know where there is an innate divine inscription, but you just cannot directly describe the innate divine inscriptions.
"Later, according to our guess, whether it is innate runes, acquired runes, dragon seals, phoenix seals, heavenly books, jade characters, etc., they are actually extraordinary characters that contain energy."
Words themselves contain extraordinary power.
The characters that people use every day, whether in Chinese or English, are just the simplest characters, not extraordinary characters.
"Based on this guess, we began to explore whether extraordinary writing exists in reality. After research, we found that a small number of oracle bone inscriptions, under certain special circumstances, possess some characteristics of extraordinary writing."
"Later, we tried to use an indirect method to construct the innate divine script by combining acquired runes to form the innate divine script."
"But this method is too complicated. As of today, we have only formed more than 300 different combinations. The scope of application is limited, and only six innate divine symbols have been initially analyzed."
Xiong Yan nodded to show that he understood.
These gains may sound pretty good and powerful, but Xiong Yan knows that they are nothing at all.
The acquired runes are like iron.
Today, the institute's understanding of acquired runes is equivalent to the level of research and production of iron tools in various countries during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
It only stayed at the most basic level. Therefore, although the Six Kingdoms used more advanced iron tools, they were defeated by Qin, which used peak bronze technology.
Theoretically speaking, iron weapons are better and more superior than bronze weapons, but the development of iron weapons by the Six Nations is still at the beginning...
"Lin Er has said all this."
"Yes, I just used runes this time and continued to combine them, and then built the computer in front of me."
With that said, Guan Ming picked up a jade ring from his hand.
The jade ring emits light, and the light directly turns into a three-dimensional projection: "This is also an extraordinary convenience. In reality, three-dimensional projection requires a lot of equipment, programming in advance, internal operating logic, and a It’s a software that doesn’t look difficult, but is actually very complicated.”
"And when I tried to use extraordinary powers, I could achieve three-dimensional stereoscopic projection almost easily, and by the way, I also modified the computer."
"In real computers, we have to write program by program through the keyboard. We have to design the system first, then the software, and finally it can function."
"But now this computer can directly read our thoughts and respond directly based on our thoughts. Therefore, the application threshold of this computer is actually quite high. Only people who have been born with spiritual power can use it."
"But because of this, the computing efficiency is extremely high and the response is extremely fast. It looks like just a jade ring, not big at all, but the computing speed is as high as tens of billions of times per second. Although it has not been compared with supercomputing, it is
This is just the most basic product. If you give me time, it will not be difficult to build an extraordinary supercomputer in the Aura era based on this."
"And since I completed this product, I have been thinking that since Aura can be used to build supercomputers in advance, can I use Aura to build other advanced technologies in advance, such as mobile phones, such as satellites..."
Is it difficult to build a mobile phone?
Not difficult at all!
Communication talismans are a major feature of the extraordinary world.
Even in the extraordinary world, there are soul lamps, which are very black technology at first glance!
As for sending a satellite into the sky, is it difficult?
It must be difficult!
But is it possible?
"Dean, you also know that although we have always defaulted that the virtual world is divided into two categories, one is the true world that abides by the conservation of matter and energy, and the other is the mysterious world that does not."
"I have actually calculated the diameter of this world in private. Based on various existing conditions, the diameter of this world is almost exactly the same as that of the earth. Therefore, the heights of the geostationary satellites in this world should also be similar."
The so-called geostationary satellite means that the satellite is in a stationary state relative to the ground.
All geostationary satellites are at an altitude of about 36,000 kilometers. The reason for this is that there are strict physical laws behind it.
Anyone who has been to high school knows how to overturn this statistic, although those high school students will lose this ability after college.
"So, theoretically speaking, we only need to complete two tasks to directly build an earth-synchronous satellite located at an altitude of 36,000 meters above us."
"The first step is to fly with great strength, use spiritual energy as power as fuel, and send the satellite to the sky."
"The second step is to create high-power instruments that can receive and transmit electromagnetic waves. This step is originally difficult, after all, it has basic requirements for the semiconductor industry."
You can’t even extract single crystal silicon, you can’t even make the most primitive chip, you can’t even make a screen, you can’t even calculate primitive computers, you can’t even extract rocket fuel, you
What kind of satellite are you doing?
But it’s different with Reiki!
Is it difficult to use a special thunder attribute method to convert electromagnetic wave signals into other acceptable information?
Not difficult!
"So, after I had this idea, I couldn't help but rush to do experiments to verify my idea."
"Thankfully, Dean, you are back. If you don't come back, I might send you a telegram to urge you to come back."
"Okay, okay, it turns out I'm the one taking the blame. It's really disappointing..."
"Get out of here quickly, I'll be disappointed if I see you." Xiong Yan joked.
"By the way, the concentration of spiritual energy in this world is even higher. In addition to the spiritual energy itself, some spiritual stones are also formed. There are no spiritual stone veins, but spiritual stones do exist. You can use spiritual stones as fuel.
Make relevant attempts, after all, none of us know whether there is any spiritual energy at an altitude of 36,000 meters in this world."
"Furthermore, even if everything you do perfectly conforms to all the basic logic of this world, and does not violate the common sense of physics, mathematics, and extraordinary foundations of this world, you must still be prepared to fail."
"This failure may be your fault. After all, it is an earth-synchronous satellite. You do not have various infrastructure and basic conditions. If you start research from scratch just by relying on aura, it is hard to say whether it will succeed. Of course, I still support your research."
Even if such research fails, the institute's understanding of spiritual energy will definitely improve to a higher level, and this improvement in understanding is the biggest gain.
Not to mention the ancillary products that were born in the process of researching the Aura version of the satellite. Many times, the scientific experiments we do may not get the results we want.
They are often some inconspicuous by-products during experiments that play an important role in human development, such as penicillin.
"And another reason is that the virtual world itself is flawed after all. No one knows how high the sky is in this world and how thick the earth is."
If the height of this world is only a few hundred kilometers, then it is hard to say whether the satellite will be available.
The virtual world is just the virtual world after all!
Even though it seems to abide by the law of conservation of matter and energy, it is just a virtual world after all!
Perhaps in the future, when the virtual world becomes larger and larger, the internal structure becomes more and more real, and the area becomes larger and larger, we can successfully put a satellite into the sky, but at this moment, Xiong Yan is not optimistic about it.
Of course, if you are not optimistic about it, you are not optimistic about it, but you still need to support it!
We don’t expect any results, but as long as there are some unexpected by-products, it’s still a huge gain.
"Okay, let Tian Yan report the rest. Anyway, it's just a report. I'm going to gather people to do research. Now, I really don't want to waste a moment."
After Guan Ming left, Huo Tianyan came to Xiong Yan and began to report to him the current military situation.
"Now, in addition to Xinye County, we have occupied five more counties. Although we can still continue to expand, we have temporarily stopped to sort out the internal affairs, establish new production relations, and completely control these five counties.
"
This is easy to understand.
Although the Han Dynasty claimed to have ruled at the grassroots level, there were village elders, pavilions with pavilion chiefs, and under the pavilion chiefs there were li longs.
If you just look at these organizational systems and these positions, you may subconsciously feel that the rule of the Han Dynasty has penetrated into every pavilion and every one.
But in fact, even during the periods of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, only in the Guanzhong area could one go deep into the pavilion.
Nowadays, the pavilion chiefs and li chiefs in most places have been controlled by powerful local aristocratic families. They are either directly members of them or people recommended by them.
Ordinary people with no background basically don't think about it, unless there is a noble person who appreciates you. Otherwise, it's better to go to bed early.
The establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty was the result of the compromise between Emperor Guangwu and the aristocratic family. From then on, there was a question mark as to whether Tingli was still under the control of the Han court.
Some places are still under the control of the imperial court, and some places are no longer there.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, this situation changed again.
When the Yellow Turban Rebellion came, a large number of powerful families directly trained private soldiers on a large scale, annexed land on a large scale, and absorbed tenants on a large scale in order to protect themselves.
At the same time, they also built docks on a large scale.
Every fort and every manor is a self-sufficient little world, a little kingdom, a little world.
In such a small manor, the manor owner’s order is God!
If the owner of the manor says that the sun rises in the west, then the sun rises in the west! Whoever dares to say that it rises in the east will be kicked out of the manor and made a refugee.
In today's context, what is the difference between being a refugee and going to die directly?
Families with backgrounds and connections, powerful people and land, built Wubao fortresses one after another and built a country within a country; ordinary people without backgrounds also built Wubao forts belonging to their own families in villages and villages, using clan blood relations as ties.
Castle, a manor belonging to his family.
During the Han Dynasty, villages were often full of people with the same surname. Everyone had the same surname and race.
Although in fact, clans must be exploitative and there must be a lot of darkness, it does not mean that clans have no advantages.
When dealing with the outside world, the clan can ensure the minimum safety of its own people.
If you don’t have the support of your clan, you might be robbed or killed on the way. This sounds hard to accept, but on the eve of troubled times and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, large-scale incidents occurred frequently across the country.
Rebellious thieves, thieves, and rebels are very common today.
Therefore, the young Cao Xiu was praised by the world for being able to travel thousands of miles with his wife single-handedly and come to Cao Cao's base camp to join Cao Cao. Cao Cao even directly praised Cao Xiu for this and said that he is the thousand-mile horse of my Cao family.
.
This is a world where etiquette is broken and music is broken, and there is no order!
Order is gone!
Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there might have been some negligible order in the countryside. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, everything outside the county was dominated by Wubao, manor owners, and bandits.
At that time, outside the county town, it was no longer about reason, but about fists!
Therefore, as early as after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Dynasty lost its rule over places outside the county.
At this moment, the Han Dynasty is equivalent to the imperial power not extending to the counties.
The imperial power stayed in the county seat. For places outside the county seat, the county magistrate had to summon local manor owners and Wubao owners to hold a meeting to discuss.
If the discussion is good and the people below are obedient and willing to provide food and strong men, then the county magistrate is considered to be very capable.
"We have completely broken up the villages and towns, gathered the remaining people, and built a series of new characteristic towns. Most of these towns are agricultural towns, and each town gathers about 3,000 to 5,000 people.
, lives in a fort, and is responsible for the land within a certain radius."
