When an empire is large enough, it will encounter various problems.
Those huge ancient empires with vast territories were often unable to continue to expand due to problems such as inconvenient communications, and various internal problems arose.
For example, in the ancient Chinese empires, floods in the Yellow River were a problem that had to be faced for a long time.
At the same time, locust plagues, plagues, and civil commotions will appear from time to time. Dealing with these problems has become the main theme of maintaining the continuation of the empire.
This is also the fundamental reason why many empires cannot expand further: there are so many problems to manage that an emperor is tired of them and no longer has enough interest in expansion.
The territory ruled by the Airanthil Empire, in terms of area, has exceeded the entire earth. With such a vast empire, various problems will naturally arise.
The plague in the south is not the beginning, and it is certainly not the end. In fact, there was flooding in the Fallen River last year, and the year before last, the Elanshir Empire faced a widespread influenza.
Pushing forward further, at that time, the Elanthir Empire had not even won any foreign wars. At that time, the disaster of "war" threatened the Elantyr Empire at all times.
Because the map is so big, it would be a real miracle if an empire did not have any problems within a year.
Just when the plague was spreading in the southern region, next to the second rocket launch base in Dosennar in the empire, under an "antenna" responsible for collecting cosmic rays, in the office on duty, a staff member on duty put down
took the teacup in his hand.
What caught his attention was a strange signal from the universe. This signal was not natural or irregular. It was obviously a signal that had been edited by humans and was extremely clear.
Grabbing the phone next to him, the staff member excitedly said loudly into the phone's microphone: "Sir! Sir! Come on! Come on! We have received the signal! I... Yes! Yes! I know! We have received it.
Signal! Very clear!”
He stared at the computer screen and compared it with the signals he had already mastered. The computer displayed exciting parameters. This signal was a signal that was extremely familiar to them.
So, he opened his mouth to confirm to his superior: "The computer has checked the signal! Yes, this signal is one of the signals we are waiting for! There is no problem..."
"Don't move! I'll rush over right now... Yes! Yes! Don't hang up the phone! Just stay there! Don't leave even a step!" On the other side of the phone, the official in charge of the antenna was equally excited, and his voice was filled with excitement.
Trembling, they have been waiting for this signal for a long time!
This staff member could even hear his superior using his mobile phone to contact senior officials one after another, some of whom he would never even be able to contact in his lifetime.
"Yes! Sir! We received the signal! We just received it! It can't be wrong! Yes! Yes! The hypothesis has been confirmed!"
"Sir! I'm from the Ground Monitoring Bureau of the Second Rocket Launch Base... Yes, yes, it's me... Just now, yes, just now, we received a signal! Which signal? It's what we've been waiting for...
...Yes! Yes! Yes! I understand! I am leaving for the central control room..."
"Mr. Minister...we received that signal..."
"You can inform the Prime Minister...the hypothesis has been confirmed..."
The phone calls came one after another, and the staff member on duty, who was standing in front of the computer, heard his superior making phone calls one after another while getting dressed, informing all kinds of big shots about the news he had just received.
…
"Dang-dang-dang..." Chris, who had just returned to Serris from Mayne, was sitting in his office reviewing the backlog of memorials. There was a knock on his door. He didn't even raise his head before he ordered: "
Please come in!"
"Click!" The person who opened the door and walked in was Alves, who had just taken over as the deputy prime minister of the empire. He was wearing Gricken's old magic robe, holding the magic wand left by Ronsardele, and walked to Chris.
in front of.
"Are you still used to working? I guess as the deputy prime minister of the empire, you have to deal with too many things, which will affect your meditation?" Chris smiled and said politely.
Alves smiled and waved his hand slightly: "No, Your Majesty, I really like my current job, managing an empire. It turns out there is so much knowledge."
He really likes this new job. The management system of a modern empire like the Airanhill Empire is completely different from the management system of the ancient magic empire. Alves has learned a lot of things. This knowledge
It made him feel happy.
Magicians have a long life, come into contact with new things, and experience life that they have never been exposed to. For a magician like Alves, this is indeed an exciting thing.
So he expressed his feelings without any pretense: "I am already a Dharma Saint, and my understanding of magic has been integrated into every cell of my body like breathing! I like what I am doing now, and it can make me feel better."
Everyone is living a better life, which is particularly meaningful to me."
"Just get used to it." Chris was just polite, so he didn't dwell on this topic anymore. He pointed to the sofa on the side of the room: "Sit down! What's the good news?"
"I came here for a total of two things. The first thing is that news just came from the second rocket launch base... We received a radio signal from the devil world that we ourselves transmitted."
"Received?" Chris was stunned, and then realized what this meant. This means that the two planets of Demon World and Ailan Siris are two planets that exist in the same time and space.
Moreover, these two planets are very close to each other!
On the other hand, receiving this signal also proves another thing: the space magic of this world breaks the spatial confinement of this world and cannot travel through two different planes of time and space.
After a brief period of confusion, Chris had to accept another fact: his chance of relying on space magic to find his true hometown "Earth" in the universe seemed slim.
After all, there is no way to cross planes and time. Even if the Earth is found in this world, it is hard to say whether it is the Earth before Chris crossed over... Even if it is, who knows what year it is now on the Earth in this time and space?
