You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

Hurry up

The pressure from above and from below was concentrated in the hands of the railway project team led by Lu Zhengshu.

He decisively ordered: "Use our new explosives to clear the way."

The group exchanged glances, but nodded nonetheless. Although it was still in the experimental stage, wasn't the experimental data accumulated from each explosion? Overcoming obstacles and building bridges was a mindset they had prepared from the beginning.

Lu Zhengshu's opinion received unanimous support.

However, they still cautiously submitted the proposal to Feng Tianyin, as it was a bit radical, and they were uneasy, unsure whether their superior would agree.

And she did not respond on the spot.

Logically speaking, His Majesty would directly approve some key matters. Is there something that even she is hesitant about?

the next day.

The feedback received by the college was a thick stack of revised design drawings, which even included additional simulations of the explosion, covering everything from earthwork volume and explosive quantity to structural damage.

Feng Tianyin not only agreed, but also improved the plan for them.

What's there to say when you encounter a boss like this?

Who among them wasn't a genius among geniuses? Who wasn't arrogant? But they all paled in comparison to Feng Tianyin's proposal. They never expected that the other party would provide such a detailed design overnight.

She is the wisest researcher.

He only has most of his energy devoted to governing the country and has no time for anything else, so when he does show off his skills, it's always something extraordinary.

Holding the heavy design drafts, Lu Zhengshu murmured, "His Majesty is also urging us. Let's do as he says. We need to speed things up."

"clear."

A massive project was launched across two mountain ranges in the north of Daqian.

The college and the engineering department worked together to lay railway tracks and explosives along the route according to Feng Tianyin's design. They either looked for low-lying mountain peaks or built tunnels directly. The most direct method was:

fry.

The deafening roar of explosions echoed across the mountains, blasting everything that could potentially block the railway.

They deployed the explosives exactly according to Feng Tianyin's calculations regarding the amount, angle, and location, only to find upon arrival at the site that it was exactly the same as the design drawings.

Did His Majesty conduct a special investigation?

Or is it the memory of having been here before that has carried over to this day?

I don't know.

Both answers are wrong. After this round of Heavenly Ritual, the psionic energy in the Terra world has generally increased, and the High Priest's power has become even more profound, even developing new uses for it:

Perception will penetrate the subspace and extend to the other side of the present world. As long as it is within the Great Qian territory, a brief rift perception can be activated.

She spent the entire night not drawing blueprints, but repeatedly opening the cracks to broaden her perception range.

In reality, my perceived distance is the entire Gyeonggi region.

However, the boundary can be amplified through subspace energy.

As expected of a region above the material world, it's incredibly convenient. Although there's certainly a risk of contamination, Feng Tianyin has diverted the risk elsewhere, so as long as it doesn't cause trouble for the Great Qian Dynasty, it's fine.

this is very simple.

The Heavenly Dao has reigned over the Great Qian Dynasty for a hundred years, and its influence extends not only to Xia Yi, but also to the entire Cifu Basin and even the Cifu Plain in the south.

His unconscious protection became an excellent moat.

Ordinary pollution has difficulty penetrating, and even with occasional reports of attacks by kin in more distant areas, they are unlikely to cause serious damage. Xia He would call them "wild monsters," or even many of the "pirates" currently on the sea, in essence.

There is no mastermind behind it all; it's simply a matter of the system itself that allows such things to appear on the fringes of civilization, much like the barbarian camps of yesteryear.

It's just that the weak are easily contaminated by the subspace, which leads people to mistakenly believe that everything is evil.

But the idea of ​​"blaming the subspace first" is not wrong.

In short, Feng Tianyin could safely perceive through subspace. She then explored Dragon Vein Mountain and Withered Glory Mountain, achieving great success; the experiment was correct. Furthermore, she inspected the southern inland river ports, where they were also carrying out their assigned projects.

Steamship.

The steam turbine of the Daqian was officially installed on the ship, and a trial run was first conducted on an inland waterway with a stable navigation environment, marking the first step towards its future expansion into the blue sea. At this moment, the steamship, covered in iron sheets, hummed and roared.

It started up, accelerating to 10 bpm with a sound that was already quite strained.

A tiny subspace rift opened high in the sky, and Feng Tianyin's perception extended to it.

"It's still too slow."

After all, the technology is still in its early stages, so we can only be tolerant.

In any case, the technology tree related to steamships has finally been opened.

They're still working on it slowly at this stage; there's no rush. Even the steam locomotives have only just been built; we can't expect the ships to be ready for immediate deployment. However, Feng Tianyin observed that their improvements were quite skillful, and they even frequently found suitable directions for improvement...

"Is this a blessing from Heaven?"

This kind of subtle and profound blessing, which deeply influences cause and effect, is very familiar. To put it simply, it increases the success rate and reduces detours.

"How much does my viewpoint differ from Your Majesty's now?"

Feng Tianyin opened the subspace and penetrated perception from a high vantage point looking down.

It is indeed an extraordinary perspective; even if airplanes exist in the future, they will not offer this kind of freedom. Unfortunately, it has one drawback:

noisy.

The high priest, sensing the distant reaches through the warp, enraged countless evil spirits and demons, who hissed, bared their fangs, and roared incessantly. In short, he wouldn't let you be too comfortable.

For her, the only problem was that it was a bit noisy.

But there are new discoveries: a subspace rift leads to the intercontinental sea, which is the battle zone of the eastern island belt.

Chapter 159 The High Priest's Conquest of the Warp (6K)

It's been a year and we're still at war.

Feng Tianyin explored the distance from the perspective of the subspace and was shocked to discover that even more pirates were emerging there, accompanied by pollution. This was no surprise; the Heavenly Dao must have discovered it back then, but left it for her as a trial.

The agreement he reached with Zhuang Qing was to jointly clean up the overflowing pirates, and he reserved his opinion on direct intervention.

Unfortunately, most of it became illegible.

The newly acquired "overhead perception" is mainly effective within the Great Qian territory, while the view from overseas is very blurry.

Because the principle is more like a signal, it requires a large number of believers on the ground to act as signal stations to receive it, and there aren't that many believers overseas.

But in other words...

As long as believers spread their message far and wide, their perception will only become more distant.

However, the native inhabitants of the warp were not happy, baring their teeth and making threatening gestures as if they were about to pounce. Both sides, however, knew that intimidation was one thing, but war was not a likely possibility.

They were helpless against a type like Feng Tianyin, who was immune to corruption, curses, and damage.

Her spiritual projections in the subspace all contain protection.

Forget it.

All they could do was express their dissatisfaction; the real battleground was the intercontinental sea. In fact, they had already gained something; countless souls who died in the war had been harvested here as nourishment. If Feng Tianyin hadn't had a sudden inspiration to investigate, they could have kept it a secret much longer.

"If left unchecked, it will take root here."

Feng Tianyin would not allow Xia He to plant thorns in the intercontinental sea that he had entrusted to control.

The girl's long hair was dyed gray, and she used her spiritual energy to create a powerful gaze that swept over the evil spirits. The pollution that was trying to enter the eastern island zone disappeared instantly.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

"You despicable and shameless human, you will pay the price."

"We will make the ocean burn!"

The furious roar echoed with corrupting words, enough to turn an ordinary psychic into a madman on the spot, or even transform them into a familiar or a demon. However, Feng Tianyin was not affected by the pressure and ignored it.

Even disregarding the protection of Heaven, it wouldn't be shaken in the slightest, so I simply ignored it and continued to perceive things as they pleased.

They know best, in fact.

The soul projection that the High Priest presented to the Warp was empty and void, with only occasional fluctuations. It was not the unwavering strength of a steadfast Dao heart, but rather an indifference that detached itself from worldly affairs; such extreme indifference meant that it would not even concern itself with the mortal world.

He must possess a superior perspective comparable to that of evil gods, otherwise he wouldn't have such an imposing presence.

Feng Tianyin's defenses were indeed unshakeable in the Great Qian Dynasty.

It's such an eyesore.

This mutual dislike didn't last long, as Feng Tianyin soon withdrew from the subspace perspective.

In the material world, she was actually still reviewing documents.

A single thought is enough.

Upon returning to spiritual power, I felt a sense of disorientation, as if my mind and body were momentarily out of sync... Could this be the different flow of time that the Heavenly Dao had experienced? Perhaps even more so.

Because Xia He is an existence that transcends spiritual energy, her status is above this universe.

After clearing her mind of distractions, Feng Tianyin stopped writing and gave the order: "We have just received news that the war between the broken islands of Saran and Malaya on the eastern side of the Intercontinental Sea has spiraled out of control and has completely devolved into a war involving pirates. Issue a warning and declare martial law to the surrounding areas."

"Keep the navy on standby; we may intervene at any time."

Everyone nodded immediately after she gave the order.

The high priest is the supreme commander and directly issues military orders, which is the signal of war itself. The soldier's duty is to obey and will respond to the deployment as quickly as possible.

---

Meanwhile, on the edge of the war zone.

The first people from the Great Qian Dynasty to experience the madness of it all were the passing fishing boats and merchant ships.

They watched helplessly as a group of battered ships approached from a distance, some belonging to the two warring nations, others to pirates. The enemy was menacing, and even the sea breeze carried the stench of blood.

How did this happen when I was sailing along the correct route? Has the war spilled over? What bad luck.

"Turn the rudder and run!"
