The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 802 The Demon God of War

Of course, they are the Queen Mother of the West and the Lady of the West.

There was no other way. It was the time when everything was just getting sweet and delicious. How could Yao Chi Jin Mu and Xuan Nu just sit there and wait in Wushan? They missed Ying Zheng so much that they would often travel thousands of miles to look for him.

Of course, to them, this distance and barrier is nothing.

Now that he was here, how could Ying Zheng not take advantage of the situation? Under Ying Zheng's tactics, the two goddesses could only follow him and cooperate with him in performing his divine manifestation.

They were also helpless about this, but since Ying Zheng was such a man of great means, they would naturally help if they could.

After all, he is my husband, I have to satisfy him.

Finally, this tour was accompanied by a real goddess, and the effect of her divine presence was naturally excellent, further deepening the people's awe and faith in the Emperor of Qin.

The touring team naturally also brought many concubines and children with them. Before returning to the capital, just after entering the pass, Ying Zheng spread the rumor that the princes would be enfeoffed to go overseas.

As expected, after the news spread, it immediately caused panic among the people.

No one wants to be eliminated now, and no one is willing to go to a remote place to suffer and take risks.

There are only a handful of princes who feel they have no hope of winning the throne, but are unwilling and ambitious in their hearts and are willing to build a foundation.

It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix!
Ying Zheng saw all of this. He secretly paid attention to these many reactions and observed the personalities and potentials of his sons.

There is no rush at the moment, just let the wind blow for a while.

If someone is eliminated in the future, stay away from him. Even if it is a bit hard, at least he can save his life. Fratricide is not something any father wants to see.

In the spring of the sixth year of Emperor Qin Shihuang's reign, after Ying Zheng's persistent efforts of persuasion, such as sweet talk and eloquence, Xuannu finally agreed to let Ying Zheng use the God of War.

Under the guidance of Xuannv, the little Pixiu was quickly found, and Jingwei was asked to take the little Pixiu to unseal the Soldier Demon God. Gongshu Chou personally led his favorite disciples to Loulan to receive and control the Soldier Demon God and bring it back to Shenzhou.

However, the Demon God of War was created by a meteorite that fell from the sky. It is extremely ferocious and difficult for ordinary people to control it for a long time, otherwise their minds will be affected.

Xuannv specially gave a precious pearl to the person who controls the soldier demon god. Only by wearing this pearl can the person who controls the soldier demon god protect his mind.

It was in this way that Gongshu Chou was able to control the Demon God of War to return step by step from Loulan to the capital of gods. Loulan also ended their mission of more than two thousand years and welcomed freedom.

But this also meant that Loulan lost the protection of God.

The Soldier Demon God is over sixty zhang tall (nearly one hundred and fifty meters; the original book does not write the exact height, it is calculated based on the character's proportions, equivalent to forty or fifty stories high, which is extremely terrifying. If you have no idea, for example: Ultraman Tiga's regular form is only fifty-three meters tall, like a baby in front of the Soldier Demon God; the Shining form is one hundred and twenty meters tall, but even so, he is equivalent to a third-class disabled person in front of the Soldier Demon God).

This is a well-deserved behemoth, a moving mountain.

It's a pity that nowadays the vitality of heaven and earth is thin. This war machine that once destroyed the world can hardly exert the war power it possessed in the era of abundant vitality. Its power can be said to be only one tenth of it.

It was too heavy, and the thin energy of heaven and earth could not support its flexible movements. And because it was too large, its material became relatively fragile due to insufficient energy, and it was not as indestructible as it was in ancient times.

Although it looks huge and intimidating, it is actually not as powerful and practical as imagined. Most of the time, it can only be used to bluff people.

On the way back to Shendu, we stopped many times.

This is because even with the precious pearl bestowed by Xuannv, Gongshu Chou could not control this huge machine alone for a long time and needed rest and rotation.

Also because the vitality of heaven and earth is thin, the Demon God of War needs to constantly absorb the weak vitality between heaven and earth to store energy.

The journey from Loulan back to the capital was not wasted. Ying Zheng specifically instructed that they should trudge their way back.

Such a huge and heavy body is like a moving mountain. It just moves forward, pushing away the obstacles along the way, and naturally forms a wide and flat "road".

With just a few simple repairs, it will become a wide and solid road, which will make it more convenient to connect the hinterland of China, the Hexi Corridor and the countries in the Western Regions, and speed up transportation construction.

After the Soldier Demon God was transported back to the capital, Ying Zheng, being a pragmatist, did not feel any regret (in fact, he was heartbroken), and without hesitation ordered the Mohists and Gongshujia to join forces and work together to disassemble and recast the Soldier Demon God, making full use of its materials and technology.

Before the vitality of heaven and earth completely dies down, Ying Zheng must squeeze out the full value of this treasure!

The Soldier Demon God was dismantled, and the Mohists and Gongshujia worked together with all their might, using the latest mechanical technology to re-blend it with a large amount of precious five-element gold, and to engrave more exquisite formation inscriptions that were more suitable for the current vitality environment.

It took more than a year, and with the personal help of Xuannv, twelve slightly smaller mechanical giants, nearly thirty zhang (nearly seventy meters high, about twenty floors high) were finally made (the size here is divided according to the scaling logic of three-dimensional objects, not a simple linear proportional division, but takes into account the material and structure).

After being disassembled, the fierceness of a single mechanical giant was greatly reduced, and the consumption of the vitality of heaven and earth was also greatly reduced. Compared with the bulky and huge consumption of the main body of the soldier demon god, these scattered mechanical giants are actually more practical, more flexible, and easier to maintain and deploy.

In order to charge and safely control these mechanical giants, Ying Zheng divided the He Shi Bi (not the half of the imperial seal, see the previous article for details) that he wore close to his body into twenty-four parts.

Twelve of them were used as energy absorption cores and installed in the control and drive centers of the twelve mechanical giants.

With the help of the He Shi Bi's ability to store vital energy, combined with the core driving material of the mechanical giant, the fallen star, the "body" of a star god, is engraved with formation inscriptions for each mechanical giant that automatically absorbs the vital energy of heaven and earth all day long. In this way, it can barely store energy for one or two days.

The remaining twelve were made into keys to control these mechanical giants. In addition, the imperial seal is the master control key with the highest authority, which can control all mechanical giants.

Placing these twelve mechanical giants in the same place will greatly increase the local consumption of heaven and earth energy, and the energy storage effect will become very poor.

In order to increase the efficiency of energy storage and utilization, these twelve giant mechanical statues were placed in various parts of China by Ying Zheng to carry out important projects, such as digging rivers, building bridges, repairing roads and opening mountains.

In addition to being used for the construction of the heartland of China, these mechanical giants will be temporarily handed over to the princes who are expanding the territory in the future, and used to show their power in overseas fiefdoms. Their extremely huge bodies and magical powers are enough to intimidate and gather the local natives and accelerate the establishment of their rule.

However, such intensive use of these twelve mechanical giants would inevitably cause greater consumption of the already thin vital energy between heaven and earth.

The time when the vitality of heaven and earth will completely become silent will probably be advanced by several years, which will undoubtedly be a huge price to pay.

Ying Zheng knew the price clearly, but he was also determined to do it.

He would rather consume this energy in advance than fail to fully utilize it and transform it into the power and construction of the empire.

If you don't use the energy of heaven and earth, it will naturally dissipate in the world. It is better to use it for yourself and squeeze out its value! It is better to use it for yourself than to give it to others!
The emperor did all this for the sake of the world!

If we want to completely integrate the world, reduce the cost of governance, and enhance communication and integration among different regions, then infrastructure and road construction is the top priority.

Infrastructure construction cannot stop. If it stops, there will be big problems, affecting the operation of the empire. A strong army is important, but where the army can go is more important! Only where the army goes, there is the real rule of the land.

However, infrastructure construction cannot be rushed. If it is rushed, it will cause bigger problems, cost people money and time, and cause public resentment.

Relying solely on human construction is indeed difficult and has limited efficiency. It requires a long time and huge investment.

Now with these twelve thirty-meter-tall giant mechanical machines serving as labor, a lot of manpower and material resources have been saved, and many large projects that were unimaginable in the past can be completed in a short period of time.

This had an immeasurable impact on the construction and development of the empire.

When the empire was unified, everything was new and there were so many places that needed to be built, including the Grand Canal, the Eight-Direction Highway, river water conservancy projects, the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and the temples of several goddesses.

These are huge projects. If they rely entirely on manpower and are done in a hurry, it will be a waste of money and manpower and exhaust the national and public strength.

Now with these twelve mechanical golden giants, a lot of effort and resources have been saved. While ensuring quality and efficiency, the loss of manpower can be greatly reduced.

In this way, the renovation and new construction project of Ying Zheng's own palace, which had been postponed, would have enough time to be officially started ten years later after the main infrastructure was completed.

It may not be as grand as the Afang Palace, but it must be magnificent to maintain its prestige. The new empire, the greatest empire ever, must also have a new palace that symbolizes the pinnacle of power.

The seventh year of Qin Shi Huangdi's reign has arrived.

No matter how unwilling or willing the concubines and children were, Ying Zheng was unwilling to delay any longer and started the enfeoffment.

This is the established strategy of the empire, and the emperor's will cannot be opposed by anyone.

The enfeoffment officially began.

Chunhua's son, the fifth prince Qianzhong, was named King of Yi and his fiefdom was named Yiming County (in Dian), which was later renamed Yiming Kingdom.

He went to Yunnan in order to serve as a vanguard for the Qin Dynasty to gradually encroach on and annex the Indochina Peninsula in the future, and to prepare for the Qin Dynasty's southward expansion.

The four girls, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, followed Ying Zheng all his life, serving him wholeheartedly and respectfully.

The children all have good relationships with each other, so it is very suitable for them to travel in a group and jointly occupy and develop the vast land of Southeast Asia.

When Chunhua heard the news, she cried bitterly.

She served Ying Zheng all her life and had only this one son, and a daughter who was only four or five years old. Her son was all her support and hope.
