Chapter 279 The Danger of the Empire
Three hundred years ago, the emperor was able to establish an empire that almost unified the whole continent. In addition to his extraordinary talent, peerless strategy, and the assistance of elite generals, the most important thing was that he was supported by the Tianya Alliance, the largest business group on the mainland at that time.
After becoming a partner of the Tianya Alliance, the emperor not only had no worries about money, but also had no shortage of resources such as intelligence, logistics and manpower. When the empire was built and the emperor rifted the throne, the nobles from the Tianya League even accounted for more than 60% of the total.
As merchants, they were very disgusted with the previous acts of kings and nobles arbitrarily raise taxes and often raid their homes. Therefore, in order to fight against the almost unlimited imperial power, these members of the former Tianya League organized the Constitutional Court, which was the predecessor of the House of Nobles.
The purpose of the emergence of the Constitutional Court is to use the fundamental law of the country, such as the Constitution, to restrain the emperor's almost boundless power and ensure that the interests of the nobles are not infringed. If other emperors, when they see an organization that dares to resist their rule under their eyes, I'm afraid the first reaction is to mobilize a large army. Cut off all the heads of this group of bold hairy guys.
However, the great emperor of great talent is much farther than most people. There has never been a thousand-year empire in the world, and there is no unfalling nobles. He, who is familiar with history, knows very well that one day, this huge empire built by him will also disappear and become a passage in history books.
This does not mean that the emperor will be discouraged, indulged, and enjoy some of what an emperor can enjoy. Yes, no matter how powerful the empire is, it cannot escape the fate of destruction, which is a necessity of history, but the emperor hopes that his belief will make human beings not barbaric, ignorant, and become more civilized and advanced. The race can be passed on forever.
This is a new goal after he opened the door to the ancient ruins and learned about the glory of human history. The center of power that can restrict each other is stable, and this is also in line with the emperor's belief, so with the strong support of the emperor, the Constitutional Court was established in a short time.
and formulated the three major codes of the empire. Although the empire has been in constant internal strife for 300 years, there has never been a large-scale chaos, and the power checks and balances of the aristocratic house and the emperor are indispensable.
But now, the House of Lords seems to have become an increasingly bloated and ineffective organization. Every year, in addition to swallowing a large amount of treasury funds for the benefit of the nobles, the biggest role is to pull the emperor's back, making almost every order issued by the emperor unable to be carried out.
In fact, except for the emperor, the first thing that every crown prince of the Shi family needs to learn to be in politics is how to deal with these guys who can't do anything but make money from the empire's body. As for handling political affairs..., even a fool can do that.
Of course, the emperor will not like the nobles, but any emperor has no choice but to do anything about this organization that has become the highest authority of the empire after a hundred years. Except once a year, he takes out a large number of gold coupons to fill these gold-swallowing beasts that seem to have infinite desire.
At most, it is to let the prosecutors find some poor congressman and send him to the prison of the Ministry of the Interior on charges of corruption or blaspization, or crowd gathering * to get some money back. However, even this kind of money will be knocked out by the House of Lords in the middle.
Why can His Majesty the Emperor, who has millions of Central Army and tens of thousands of imperial guards, tolerate these insatiable disgusting guys? In fact, according to the Constitution, the emperor has the right to dissolve the House of Lords or temporarily stop all the work of the House of Lords.
But the emperor dares to be so stupid. Theoretically, the power of the House of Lords is stipulated by the Imperial Constitution, just a piece of white paper printed with black ink. For the emperor, even if hundreds of books are placed in front of him, it is a little hard to push away.
What really makes the emperors afraid and dare not cross the thunder pool can only be violence. The axiom is only within the range of the cannon. This sentence said by the emperor before is still printed in every history textbook. A large number of capable people made by the original serum are the capital of the aristocratic court that has stood up to now and dared to fight against the emperor.
Although most capable people live longer than ordinary people and have more strength than ordinary people, and there is not much difference, intermediate ability and advanced ability, as well as the rarest super ability, are far more powerful than human beings can understand.
When a capable person is promoted to a senior level, it is essentially different from human beings, which is the conclusion reached by the Royal Academy of Sciences after a lot of research. As for super capable people, that kind of thing is beyond the scope of biology.
The Central Army can more or less achieve its goals against ordinary civilians, mutant beasts, overlord beasts, and even savages, but it is still difficult to ensure the safety of its master when dealing with capable people, even if they are dispatched to the praetorian guards.
Whether it is the five families or the three Yangs in northern Xinjiang, they can call for wind and rain in the empire. What they rely on is not only a large amount of money, old-fashioned power, and the most important thing is the senior ability to control the family, which is the last capital.
For the aristocrats of the empire, they only rely on their own wisdom and efforts, and at most go to the deputy ministers of the State Council, the directors of various departments of the frontier provinces, and such affairs departments. Without reliable*, it is almost impossible to win the leader of various departments.
In particular, the 21 members of the House of Lords, who have almost all of them have had the highest titles of the empire such as the Duke and Earl since the beginning of the empire was founded. For 300 years, they have still inherited these titles. If it weren't for the inheritance of family blood, each generation would have advanced energy. With the backing, it is not possible to sit in a position for hundreds of years.
Like Ye Yu. I haven't heard from the Empire City for 20 years. Every time the noble upper house meets, no one dares to propose to remove the empty chair. By now, Ye Yu has been missing for many years. The Jiangling Ye family has no nominal heir in the empire, and the House of Lords still has 21 seats.
When Ye Liu was officially promoted to a senior ability, he not only immediately ushered in the marriage contract of the two families, but also ushered in his new owner in the near future.
Senior capable people, like the cards of each family, determine the political changes of the imperial city. Of course, the existence of these people also makes the successive emperors of the empire feel stuck in their throats. When no one likes to sleep, they have to worry about a sharp sword hanging above their heads.
How to deal with capable people, especially advanced capable people, is the easiest project for the Royal Academy of Sciences to apply for funds. No matter what the ultimate purpose is, the madmen of the Royal Academy of Sciences have indeed produced a lot of good goods for 300 years.
The simplest thing is to imprison the vitality lock in Dora's body. As long as it is copied, every time the capable people use their mind power, the consumption will increase by more than 100 times, and there is basically no lethality.
The hotline gun was originally developed with the goal of dealing with capable people, but was later found by the generals of the Military Affairs Department, and then it was turned out of a pile of dusty garbage.
Generally speaking, the equipment that is effective in dealing with the spirit of mind and the vitality of the wild people is equally effective. Ye Liu's trap has been prepared for three days. Of course, it is impossible to have these two moves. Thanks to his familiarity with the Royal Academy of Sciences and Zhang Ye's strange rich inventory, the four heroic savages have to face many difficulties.
The heroic savage's fighting spirit can be said to be a variant of the spirit. The savages do not know how to make this abnormal war spirit stimulate the transformed body and make the body's skin, muscles and bones produce very huge changes.
This is the basic principle of beastization. Without the blessing of beastization, savages only rely on their own bodies. Although they are also very strong, there will be great changes in defense, strength, speed and agility. That is to say, if the animalization effect of these four savages is removed, their strength will probably be removed from The world heavyweight boxing champion fell directly to the situation of an ordinary fat otaku (...).
Of course, even if they become otaku, the soldiers of the Central Army are just three-year-old children in their eyes, and it is not a big problem to beat hundreds of them. Because of his commitment to Lian Xingyue, Ye Liu will not go to danger in person today if it is not necessary.
So when the magnetic wall broke down, four infrared headlights suddenly rose on the ground. The headlights were not on. In the eyes of ordinary people, it looked like a dim red dot, but for savages, it was like four horrible suns close at hand.
This is the top product that the Royal Academy of Sciences has developed for 15 generations. The thermonuclear lamp, whose name is horrible, seems to be related to some amazing explosives, but the Royal Academy of Sciences's research on nuclear physics is far from enough to guide them to carry out atomic fission fusion.
The thermonuclear lamp is the same as the name. It is just a lamp, but it is not used to illuminate. The ordinary incandescent lamp emits light, while the thermonuclear lamp emits subcold rays.
After the catastrophe, the organisms on the continent were exposed to the source minerals on the surface and were seriously polluted. Both people and animals died in large quantities, but the magic of nature is always beyond human imagination. Although most of the organisms in the polluted area are killed. After all, some of them survived.
And they live well. These are mutant beasts. After that, the empire has been fighting with these creatures for more than a hundred years in order to obtain resources. Just as human beings have been transformed by the original serum, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of times, there are also some changes in the bodies of mutant beasts that still survive after being contaminated by radiation.
Most of the mutant beasts have become more ferocious, with physical distortions, such as one more claw, missing an eye or something, which does not weaken their combat effectiveness and can survive. They must have been the best in the population. After alienation, their muscles and bones change It has to be stronger, but there is something wrong with the brain.
And some mutant beasts even have the function of using mindfulness. Although the academicians of the Royal Academy of Sciences do not understand how to cause such consequences, it is certain that it must be due to radiation that the mutant beasts have this ability.
Then reflect and deduce that since radiation can make mutant beasts use their mind, can radiation also make mutant beasts lose their mind power? It turns out that yes, this is also the theoretical basis for the emergence of thermonuclear lamps.
The function of this lamp and mind lock is the same. As long as it is within the ray irradiation range, unnatural abilities such as mind, war spirit, vitality, etc., are like snowflakes exposed by the hot sun, which will be decomposed and melted in an instant. Disappeared without a trace.
Although the thermonuclear lamp is very mature, like all the products of the Royal Academy of Sciences, it is very bulky, high energy consumption and low ray effective range, but at least it will not break down like a magnetic wall.
If you are familiar with the situation, the first thing you encounter is to run away, because the effect of the thermonuclear lamp decreases significantly with the edge of the distance. Both the launch mechanism and the energy agency are very large, and it is inconvenient to move, and you will definitely not be able to chase people.
The most taboo thing is to rush to the front and want to destroy it. The radiation value of the thermonuclear lamp is lost very quickly. Basically, it is only one percent within three meters away. Even so, when it is illuminated by the thermonuclear lamp, more than half of the advanced ability at a distance of 20 meters can be eliminated in three seconds.
