Chapter 238 We discovered the former imperial capital!

Lu Yuan actually doesn't like formalism very much. He prefers to chat with his companions and enjoy the atmosphere of human fireworks.
In your free time, flirt with a pretty girl...it doesn't feel too good!
But now he has a team, which is different from the past.
As a big leader, on such an important day, when it's time to express condolences to your subordinates, you still have to express condolences.
There is no wine now, so I can only use fruit juice instead.
"Come on, come on, everyone has worked hard. In the coming days, we can relax a little and don't have to work overtime every day." Lu Yuan first drew the cake as usual and announced the good news, "From now on, I plan to execute the order."
Leave policy.”
"What is... a solitary break?"
This is a brand new term.
"Work for six days and rest for one day! After all, humans are not machines. We need to combine work and rest to improve the efficiency of work and study."
Although the current Sky City lacks too many things, whether it is industrial capabilities or technological strength, it is not good enough.
However, Lu Yuan knows deeply that it is okay for young people to dedicate themselves for a while, but it cannot be sustained for a long time.
Now the working hours in a day exceed 12 hours, which is indeed a bit more.
"Do you get paid during the break?" Sha Mo asked cautiously.
"Of course, this is my prescribed rest time."
Naturally, this policy received widespread praise, and the venue was noisy and cheering.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little guilty, always feeling like he was exploiting these guys.
There is indeed a lot to make up for, and he can't afford weekends.
In addition, Lu Yuan is still thinking about the construction plans of various departments, that is, how the government of Luyin Town will be established?
He has been thinking about this for a long time, because the current population is too small, and many times it is a flat management that directly gives orders, which is simple and efficient.
But it is obvious that extensive management is not sustainable in the long term.
How can we maintain the energy we have now? It is easy for people to become lazy, and once they become lazy, it is difficult to return to diligence, unless they encounter another life-or-death crisis...
Decay and degradation are the normal state of the world.
Therefore, it is time to consider organizing a more formal political system.
"Desert, you can be the leader of the technology team."
"Guo Weiqiang, in charge of the engineering team? The sculpture team?"
"Shakan'er, the...regiment commander in the army? There are more than a thousand people in a regiment, so that's about the same."
"Sha Sanli, continue to be the director of the Ministry of Education?"
Lu Yuan heard that the current education director's bad reputation can stop children from crying at night.
"Who else is coming..."
"There are also legal issues. The original clan laws were too bloody, so we have to find ways to change them."
But after thinking about it, I feel that the people I have are still a bit incompetent. I need to practice for a few more years, at least until I graduate with a PhD, before I can establish a government in a serious way.
But when he saw the old man Sha Sanli, Lu Yuan remembered something again and couldn't help but said: "Elder Sha, now that the Sky City has really risen, those who want to leave, please give me some advice."
"Especially those who have children...I can't bear to let the children go back and live their old lives."
Sha Sanli also sighed: "Well, that's true. It's just that the older ones can't learn new knowledge. Children can always learn... It's true."
"But some people are just stubborn and want to leave if they are not satisfied."
Lu Yuan did not want to revive the clan culture and said bluntly: "It is reasonable and reasonable to build a cemetery for them to worship their ancestors, and I will not stop it."
"But if you want to set up writing courses for the Sarai people in schools, this is obviously not possible."
"You didn't teach your children before, but now that you have a green paradise and quick teaching methods, you want to pick peaches. Isn't that nonsense?"
Books share the same text, cars run on the same track, and travels follow the same path. Lu Yuan still understands these principles.
Multicultural?
Diverse shit!
With such a small population, does it have the qualifications?
Lu Yuan changed the topic: "Of course, if you clan elders are willing to set up cultural courses and teach Chinese characters to children, I will not object."
Sha Sanli also gave a wry smile. Learning Chinese characters is a required course for the civil service examination.
But the writing of the Sari clan... is useless if you learn it. Who will learn it?
"Well, I'll try my best to keep a group of people."
"If you really can't keep it, forget it."
Guo Weiqiang called to the side: "Captain Lu, don't worry about them, come and try my old pot's braised chicken legs with carved patterns."
Lu Yuan laughed, turned around, and toasted to all the heroes.
Conversation, mediation, criticism, dialogue, he seemed to be gradually getting used to these troublesome things.
The world is a huge grass-roots team, but the grass-roots teams can also make great achievements. At least this time, they successfully promoted this city.
Looking at the people with red faces, the people singing and dancing, and the children climbing trees and playing with glass marbles, Lu Yuan suddenly felt a very warm feeling in his heart, like the head of a big family.
.
"Come on, humanity's 18th civilization!"


Early the next morning, the City in the Sky officially set sail!
There were no accidents. The process was almost the same as yesterday. The Sky City flew to an altitude of several thousand meters smoothly.
Pushed by the wind and sand, it moves towards the south little by little, just like a large hot air balloon.
Looking down from the sky above the city, the golden desert stretches as far as the eye can see, and the sand dunes are like waves in the ocean.
The yellow sand grains shimmer with despair, seeming to speak of the untouchable world of death.
"That is our village, our hometown..."
"This time, I really have to leave."
Several staff members standing by the large propeller looked at it with a slightly sad look.
In 20 villages, with a population of nearly 100,000, only 10,000 died. How sad.
The low houses were buried bit by bit by sandstorms.
The touch of green that was there before has disappeared.
That was their hometown. Now, there are no living creatures anymore.
The karez dries up and the cactus dies.
All that remains is the ruins of civilization.
A touch of sadness lingers in my heart.
The feast dispersed.
The village has declined.
And I was high in the sky, flying towards the distant coastline.
The wind and sand are vast,
Won't meet again.

About a month later, the speed of Sky City increased to 6 kilometers per hour, which is similar to the normal walking speed of humans.
The sailing distance of 24 hours a day is about 140 kilometers, which is actually not too slow.
The next step is the process of slow deceleration. Because the mass of the city is too large, it must be slowed down in advance.
There were several safety accidents, both minor and minor, and Lu Yuan was always on tenterhooks, fearing that one day in his dream, the city would fall on top of him and everyone would be reduced to a pulp.
Two months later, the damn yellow sand gradually faded away, turning into dry land, and occasionally some puddles could be found.
The enthusiasm among the people is getting higher and higher.
Especially for the patrol team, the wonderful mood, not to mention how happy, is spent every day calculating the distance and when they can reach their destination.
This patrol team is led by Shakaner and is mainly responsible for the city's security, sanitation, and maintenance. The total number of people is 500.
The three king insects also work on the patrol team. Although they are intelligent, they do not understand human society and so they can only do simple chores.
"Level 3! Congratulations to Team Sha!"
On this day, cheers came from the team. Because of the significant improvement in nutrients and training conditions, captain Shakaner finally broke through and became a level three strongman.
He let out a long breath and looked a little excited.
Lu Yuan was also nearby, sending his blessings: "Congratulations! We finally have a level three strongman in Luyin Town."
Shakaner's face was rosy, he stretched his limbs and laughed: "No, my qualifications are only for one level. In the past, it would have taken ten years of hard work before I could be promoted."
"How could it be so fast without the training resources provided by Captain Lu?"
He said this sincerely. Lu Yuan still had a few low-quality spiritual crystals in his hand, plus the pomegranate fruits provided. These things were not something that poor people like them could easily obtain.
"Lu Da, let's discuss it."
"yes!"
One person and one insect started fighting.
The king insect is level 4, and the militia captain is level 3.
The situation that was originally one-sided has now been able to hold up for a while.
Lu Yuan said to the surrounding soldiers: "According to the description in imperial documents, a third-level strong man has a lifespan of three hundred years and is a powerful force in the army."
"Level 4 experts are very rare in the empire. Their lifespan is even five hundred years!"
"You should also work hard, whether it's for yourself or for the entire Green Town... I hope everyone lives for a thousand years!"
The soldiers were all smiling, with great anticipation on their faces.
Among the most promising people in the army, there are two owners of "Godly Skills".
A man named Liu Mu has the ability of "Sky Eye". His eyes can emit invisible light, and his soul attack is quite noble.
The second soldier is named Li Dayin, and he has shadow control, which means he can turn his shadow into reality to fight against the enemy.
These two people have great potential and their cultivation speed is faster than ordinary people.
However, cultivation depends more on resources.
Without the resources provided by Lu Yuan, his life would be just mediocre.
Then, in the next second, an exclamation came from the distance: "Quick, look to the south!"
"We...seem to have reached our destination!!"
People looked over together, surprised, excited, enthusiastic, with different emotions on their faces.
Loud cheers followed!
High in the sky, they saw...
Endless coastline!!
The surging waves are stronger than the last.
And near the coastline, there are hillsides, forests, lakes, grass...
as well as……
A rather large city?!
Lu Yuan rubbed his eyes. He really saw the city and the neat farmland.
Did you even see a sparse crowd?
"What kind of civilization is this? It seems like an empire?"
"That circular building..." Several soldiers saw their hearts beating wildly when they saw the Imperial Capital Arena where they had been hanging out for many years.
"Have we discovered the former imperial capital?!"

This matter quickly received the highest degree of attention.
Not only are there abundant resources here, but they also have a neighbor?
Everyone is very excited.
Soon, Lu Yuan summoned everyone to the edge of the Sky City and used the "cornea of ​​far-sighted eyes" to observe carefully.
The technological content of this city is not very high, and there are no technological products such as railways and automobiles - it is indeed the feudal era.
But it may be due to the relatively high level of force per capita. The city wall alone is six meters high, and the buildings in the city are filled with the beauty of Gothic architecture.
The empire, whose full name is "Mandala Empire", is suspected to have sixth-level innate masters, and may even have seventh-level grand masters. It is definitely the pinnacle of military force in feudal civilization.
"There don't seem to be many people on the streets, and there are traces of blood. Was there a riot?"
"The farmland has also been somewhat abandoned..."
Lu Yuan lamented that what can kill a civilization is not only external disasters, but also internal strife.
"King, the last time I checked here, I didn't find this human city." The petite king insect, Lu Xiao, lowered his head to report.
The sudden appearance of this city made it feel very guilty and felt that it had not completed its mission.
"Don't blame yourself. It should be a newly opened safe zone in the past year or two."
"It's normal that you can't find it." Lu Yuan looked at the surrounding geographical environment, "An ancient civilization like this requires more land to support a huge population, and it often opens up safe zones faster than technological civilization."
"Their geographical location is much better than that of the Shali clan."
"Beside mountains and rivers, there is food and drink, and there is a desert to stop the enemy. It is a safe farming base."
"Not necessarily." Old Cat shook his head and said, "The city in the sky has great dangers and great rewards. Don't you see that everyone is flying in the sky?"
"Indeed, maybe we are even more powerful than the empire now!" Shakaner clenched his fists with both hands and hammered each other. As a ready-made third-level master, he was quite proud.
Now is the age of technology, and the mysterious veil of the Mandala Empire has long been unveiled.
As long as they are given enough time, not too much, thirty to fifty years, they believe that the empire will worship them in turn.
After talking about this, many intellectuals and engineers around the big round table agreed.
"The empire has not developed any glyphs for so many years. It is a waste of talent." Guo Weiqiang, half-empty, began to brag, "Either we suck up all their talent."
"Many of their glyph readers simply haven't reached their potential."
Lu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head: "If someone else is recruited, who will be the teacher? Will you be the one?"
"Whenever you can independently carve the 'Strong Glyph', you can teach others."
Hearing the roar of laughter from his comrades, Guo Weiqiang couldn't help but blush, patted his chest, and issued a military order: "Next year! No, in half a year, I can be a teacher!"
There was another burst of cheerful laughter.
This is a kind of cultural confidence!
Chapter completed!
