Chapter 80: History of the city

The saying "There is money to make a ghost push", in the game is set to only recognize the money of the shop owner npc here, the embodiment is vivid.
After seeing the banknotes in Lin Chi’s hands, the former bookstore owner who had a disgusted face suddenly began to pay attention to him like a personal change.
Lin Chi used only a hundred dollars to buy a lot of ancient books that were going to be moldy, and then threw all the yellowed books into the gray cloth backpack that he had just bought from the roadside booth.
Because the background story of this game map is not as "easy to understand" as the last chaotic city, the first thing he intends to do is not to start killing immediately, but to first understand the setting of this map.
So now, Lin Chi is also walking into an old-fashioned hotel on the roadside, opening a single room and starting to read the books he just bought from the
Cangjie Ancient Bookstore
.
The candlestick on the wooden bed of the bed exudes a long radiance, reflecting the dark bedroom. Lin Zai lay on the bed and opened a copy of "Ancient History" to start browsing the contents quickly.
When he opened the first page, his expression was still "lazy", his eyes snorted and muttered:
"Oh……"
After reading a few more pages, Lin Chi’s eyes suddenly widened, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared:
"Ok?"
As he continued to read, he opened his mouth slightly and made a confused voice:
"what?"
After another ten minutes, he has entered a state of arrogance:
"what the hell?"
Although it has long been noticed that there is a deviation in the world line of this map of the city, this unexpected development, even Lin Chi, did not think before.
A small part of the history of this history book is quite similar to the real history of ancient China: the Yellow Emperor Yan, the King of Wu, the Six Kingdoms...
However, since the Three Kingdoms period, the situation has not been the same.
According to the record of this brief history, after the death of Liu Bei, the military division Zhuge Liang continued to attack the Northern Expedition for the wishes of the lord, but could not break the Wei Guo's adherence.
As Zhuge Kongming became more and more laborious, his physical condition deteriorated. But this time, at the end of his life, he did not find a way to continue his life, but tried his best to create a great invention that changed history by studying the ancient organs of the Mohist and the public losers:
This invention, also known as the feng shui engine.
Lin Chiben thought that the "fengshui engine" was something like a spell-driven institution. But according to the records in this history book, the Feng Shui engine is not an ordinary organ, but an ancient computer made of bronze, silk and sandalwood!
Although the Feng Shui engine at the beginning can only perform the simplest addition calculation, it is basically no stronger than the abacus. However, with the continuous improvement of the craftsmen of the later generations, its volume has begun to shrink and its function is constantly stronger.
Today, the Feng Shui engine has become a "microcomputer" that can be built into various kinds of machinery and squatting dolls, which is no less than a modern computer!
Since there is no radio equipment in this world line, the remote communication carried out by people here is done by the "cobweb" buried in the underground and connected to the whole city.
By sensing the weak vibration of the wire, the Feng Shui engine can restore the other's voice, and even through the shadow shape cast inside, to reproduce the other's appearance on another screen, complete the incredible "video call."
In other words, China on this world line has not gone through industrialization, and has skipped a historical stage and forcibly entered the information age!
As for the energy used by people in this era, in addition to firewood and coal, mainly wind and water, the blade turntable installed in the river of death is not just a machine for killing people, but also a simple "hydroelectric generator".
With the continuous development of the organs, the monks also began to become commonplace. The craftsmen installed small feng shui engines in the body of the shovel. These feng shui engines made the specified movements by manipulating the wooden joints and threads in the shackles. This is how the guards on the streets operate.
"Nima, this black technology can only be done in the game..." Lin Chi said with a feeling.
Even if he did not think of the technology tree of this world, it turned out to be like this.
Since it is not clear what is happening across the river, he begins to read the following, about the Greek state on the other side of the river:
According to the history book, the science and technology trees of ancient Greece are also very powerful. And their technology tree shift is from Archimedes, through the discovery of the use of solar energy by research...
With the shift of the science and technology trees of ancient China and ancient Greece, the two countries quickly completed the unification, and then began to expand at the same time in the "251 calendar year", that is, about 500 years AD.
With the "black technology" beyond the level of contemporary technology, they swept through many countries along the way until the military of these two countries encountered in the city.
Two extremely powerful troops launched a desperate battle along the river.
The war lasted for three years, and both sides lost a huge number of soldiers, but they still failed to win the game. In the end, the two countries can only conduct peace talks and draw a new borderline with the river as the boundary.
As each other is watching out for each other, both countries have begun to build new fortress cities along the river.
This ridiculous river beach has developed into a bustling metropolis in a few decades. This is the game map of this time - "Government City"!
After spending half an hour reading this incredible "history book", Lin Chi put down the wet pages and opened the window of the hostel. There was a whistling wind blowing snow into the house.
"Should there be a player who is assigned to the opposite Greek control zone?"
Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and stared at the Greek city in the distance.
In his opinion, the players who entered this map should be randomly assigned to the sides of the river bank. If they were born on this side, then designing the Greek city on the other side would be completely meaningless.
So the question is coming - how should the player cross the river with the giant "meat grinder" installed?
It seems that the two cities across the river are completely disconnected from each other. However, the technology and architectural styles on both sides are also "combined", which is obviously the result of the spies investigation between the two sides.
However, if the players are completely unable to cross the river, then this deathmatch is afraid that the winner will never be determined.
In other words, maybe you can find something like a secret passage, you can let yourself go to the Greek city on the other side of the river?
Thinking of this, Lin Chi closed the window and stuffed the "A Brief History of Ancient Times" into the backpack. Then he left the hotel and began to search for weapons stores along the road.
According to his speculation, there should also be a mechanism similar to "full-band scanning" in this map, and the battle between players will probably begin officially at dawn.
Before that, it's time to buy some reliable weapons and hire several guards by the way.
