Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 448 The Only Person
“Although when I saw it through remote imaging, I felt that this place was exaggerated.”

Da Vinci kept looking around and said in amazement: "But seeing it with my own eyes, oh my goodness."

What comes into view are countless artillery batteries, whose scale is so huge that it exceeds the scope of human beings, like a giant structure.

"The ones scattered around the periphery are the rockets we saw earlier transporting Akagi Hinako and Xiang Yu."

Da Vinci commented: "Since we have prepared so many, we can certainly cover the entire Earth."

The coverage area of ​​these artillery batteries is so wide that there is no end in sight. In addition, Ying Zheng had no intention of deploying troops in other cities, so only Xianyang, where the holy body was located, was left.

Then it can be basically concluded that global domination is achieved by relying on this city.

It's amazing just to think about this kind of thing.

"Oh my, it turns out that you can rule the world with just this one city."

Leonardo da Vinci laughed and said, "In this case, can this city still function as a city?"

The most important function of a city is to provide a platform for the lives of its people, but the current Xianyang seems to be highly mechanized. Is it just a special city established for Ying Zheng to better rule the world?
"Of course I have."

Li Ye beside him nodded slightly and said, "The gymnasium-like building in front seems to be a gathering place for citizens, and there are many people inside.

This can only be considered the periphery, the real capital is inside."

Xianyang didn't seem to have any magic to block the breath, which made Li Ye easily realize that the number of people living in Xianyang was not low, which was enough to meet the population of the big city of Xianyang.

Although Ying Zheng is the only emperor who commands the stars, he has no reason to live in an uninhabited city. Although the emperor's majesty radiates across the globe, he still needs the people to add to the atmosphere.

"Then let's go in and take a look. His Majesty the Emperor is still waiting for our audience."

Da Vinci was not shy. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Ying Zheng for allowing him to meet him but constantly sending attack units to harass them, it was just a complaint.

The emperor's thoughts are really hard to guess.

Li Ye did not refuse Leonardo da Vinci's proposal and followed Leonardo da Vinci into the capital.

This process did not cause any counterattack from the mechanical soldiers deployed outside the capital, who completely ignored it.

Li Ye only glanced at the mechanical soldiers standing still, and then entered the capital. As soon as he entered the capital, the extremely lively atmosphere of fireworks hit him in the face.

It is not a simple style like those of farmers in the wheat fields, but a steampunk style with a very Chinese style. Almost all the residents are seen reciting poems, composing couplets, singing and dancing.

The ultimate joy seemed to become real, rippling before the eyes of Li Ye and Da Vinci.

"Oh--"

Seeing this, Li Ye couldn't help but pinch his chin, looking around thoughtfully, and said: "Painting, composing lyrics, carving, singing, all forms of art are gathered in Xianyang. Are they captive artists?"

Different from the architectural style and customs of the wheat fields outside that even Leonardo da Vinci could not bear to look at, the architecture here is advanced and there is an extremely prosperous art wave.

"What a joke!"

As an artist, Leonardo da Vinci could not accept that everything he saw was called an artist or art. He said, "There is only one theme they praise! They are all based on the theme of the First Emperor! This kind of thing is not art at all!"

Not accepted.

It is totally unacceptable that this kind of thing is "art". It is completely tarnishing art.

“Art and culture are what can bring joy to people.”

Li Ye pondered and said, "But the only person who can enjoy these things here is probably the First Emperor. Therefore, everyone is constantly creating art that the Emperor likes for the sake of the First Emperor."

It is not difficult to see from the artists who are creating below that basically all races are included and they have a variety of styles. They are obviously born from different cultural circles.

Although the First Emperor unified the world, he summoned people from all over the world to Xianyang to create for him.

"Like livestock."

Li Ye couldn't help but sigh: "I'm afraid they will create for the First Emperor until the end of their lives in Xianyang. This life is a gift to the emperor.

They continued to create under the emperor's gaze, like exhibits on a stand."

"In this situation, whether it is Shakespeare who dreams of the audience's applause, or Andersen who pursues the truth of life——"

Da Vinci whispered, "Even if I like to create, I will never be born here. The premise is too far away from pan-human history."

Although the world under Ying Qin was able to give birth to military generals in pan-human history, there were few heroes in art and culture. After all, the cultural circle was different from the beginning.

It is impossible to form a situation where a hundred schools of thought contend.

Differences in the soil will lead to differences in what is ultimately produced.

"His Majesty the Emperor is giving us more and more surprises."

Li Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "Someone is here to greet us."

Tread.

An old man in a red Zhongshan suit walked out of the crowd slowly and appeared in front of Li Ye and Da Vinci.

"Dear Da Vinci, be careful. He is very strong. He can shatter your spirit core with one punch."

With an indifferent expression, Li Ye took a step forward and stood in front of Da Vinci, facing the old man who was approaching.

The bright red Zhongshan suit was of amazing quality, made of the finest silk, but such luxurious clothing was nothing special for the old man.

His body is strong under the Zhongshan suit, and even at this age his muscles have not declined, but remain at an astonishing level.

The pace was steady and each step was measured to a precise degree. Even Li Ye couldn't find any fault with it.

Steady breathing is full of rhythm, and the body seems to be stretching and restrained with each exhalation and inhalation. This is a very high level of breathing method that can adjust in coordination with the body.

This keeps the old man's body at an extremely powerful level, enough to rival a heroic spirit.

That’s right, it’s comparable to a Heroic Spirit.

Li Ye could see that the old man in front of him was still alive, an ultimate antique who was at least a hundred years old, but still maintained such a level.

His eyes are restrained, but it does not mean he is getting old, but rather that he is polishing himself.

Just by looking at each other, Li Ye could sense the other party's aura hidden in his body, like a tiger. From the violent youth to the current state of unity between man and nature, he has been honing himself day by day for decades, and the power he will eventually unleash will be incomparably astonishing.

What was more important was the look in his eyes that was sizing him and Leonardo da Vinci up. Besides looking at their appearance, he was more looking for weaknesses.

In his eyes, the human body has no secrets at all. As long as he finds an opportunity, he can even kill with one strike.

Li Ye's eyebrows jumped when he realized this. To be honest, he sensed danger in the old man's eyes.

It's not about strength, but about superb skills.

The martial arts that this old man has practiced are so advanced that if he hits a weak spot, even Li Ye would be affected.

You know, even if Li Ye takes a direct hit from the anti-military weapon now, he won't be in much trouble, but this old man can affect himself.

His martial arts have already reached the divine realm.

"It seems you are Li Shuwen. I have heard of you for a long time."

Li Ye clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I wonder what position Senior Li holds in the First Emperor's office?"

Li Ye naturally recognized Li Shuwen as a family member, although he didn't know how the other person, who was supposed to be born in the Qing Dynasty, could survive to the present day.

This was also the reason why Li Ye had previously concluded that Li Shuwen was over a hundred years old. Regardless of how he had survived these hundred years, the fact that he was able to stand in front of them showed that Li Shuwen had an extraordinary status.

After all, it seems that everyone in Xianyang nowadays is a so-called artist, and there is no need for someone like Li Shuwen, who possesses extremely strong martial arts skills, to exist.

"I am currently serving as the chief of the imperial guards of His Majesty the Emperor, and have been responsible for ensuring the Emperor's safety for one hundred and fifty years."

Li Shuwen saluted in return and said calmly, "I heard that you are also surnamed Li. Since you are a member of the same family, there is no need to waste words. His Majesty the First Emperor has allowed you to have an audience with him. Please follow me."

After leaving the central computer room, Li Shuwen's task was only to lead Li Ye and Da Vinci to the central computer room to meet the First Emperor.

"Mr. Li Shuwen, can the First Emperor's empire be considered peaceful now?"

Along the way, Li Ye asked curiously: "What does His Majesty the Emperor rely on to appease the desires in the hearts of the people?"

People have seven emotions and six desires, which not even the First Emperor could eliminate, but now they have achieved the so-called prosperous times. Li Ye was very curious about how they did it.

Although the people's wisdom is suppressed and the circulation and development of science and technology are refused, the improved wheat fields are enough to feed the whole world, but as the saying goes, if you are full, you will have nothing to do.

Simply put, when people are full, they will want spiritual wealth, and if they can't get it, they will start to have wild thoughts.

What did Ying Zheng rely on to contain the global population?
"Granted by the Emperor."

Li Shuwen, who was walking in front, said: "Your Majesty will grant special imperial gifts to the people from outside from time to time. Taking such precious things can allow the people to satisfy their desires and enjoy happiness without leaving their homes. This is also the basis for the peace and stability of the world today."

"Oh, I see."

Li Ye and Da Vinci looked at each other and immediately understood that Ying Zheng relied on some special medicine to allow people all over the world to live and work in peace and contentment. While their material needs were met, they could also get great spiritual enjoyment, thus preventing the outbreak of cholera.

In the subsequent indirect inquiries, Li Ye also learned that Ying Qin currently relies on thermal power generation, that is, constantly burning the endless wheat fields in the outside world to maintain the operation of the entire empire.

Tread.

"Your Majesty, they are here." Li Shuwen, the captain of the guards, took the lead and led Li Ye and Da Vinci into the holy body above Xianyang, that is, the body of the First Emperor.

Along the way, Li Ye and Da Vinci also noticed the internal structure of the holy body. The internal structure of the mechanized holy body is not a human body, but an existence that imitates the natural environment, like an artificial garden composed of miniature models of mountains, forests and mercury rivers.

Taking the body itself as a small universe and following the principles of Feng Shui magic that actually operates in nature, the Afang Palace-type First Emperor is driven.

It can be said to be a masterpiece that culminates all magical arts.

"Well, you guys are here."

Ying Zheng spoke slowly, as if he was not surprised. It was only natural for him that Li Ye and Da Vinci arrived here.

"Your Majesty, is this journey a test?"

Li Ye looked calm and asked, "Aji Hinako and Xiang Yu, Your Majesty, do you want to destroy us or just wait and see how we perform?"

"Of course I showed it. If even Xiang Yu and Jie can't get through, then what qualifications do you have to come to see me?"

Ying Zheng said: "Since you have arrived here, please tell us what you think, or do you just want to look up to my holy body?"

what?
Li Ye and Da Vinci looked at each other. Da Vinci did not speak, but gave the right to ask questions to Li Ye.

Along the way, with Li Shuwen's explanation, they have already had a general understanding of Ying Qin.

The questions that Li Ye wanted to get answered were gradually shrinking, and finally turned into one.

"Your Majesty, what is your definition of a human being?"

Li Ye looked around the central computer room and asked curiously: "In the great Qin, are there countless people, or is there only one person?"

"Of course there is only one person, and that is me."

Ying Zheng said as a matter of course: "By gathering the actions of all things on earth into one point, onto this throne, I have made myself the ultimate [man].

In your so-called pan-human history, are there any individuals who have risen to my level?
Look up at the Great Wall in the sky, and look down at the abundance on the earth.

Who else could have accomplished such a feat?"

How many people have ever achieved the feat of ruling a planet?
It is not a place confined to a corner of the world of ice and snow;
It is not a cage of the Age of Gods that is surrounded by giants;
It is not an interstellar city located in an endless ocean;

It is not an island made up of endless piles of corpses;
It is not the nine layers of the underworld located underground.

Instead, he commands all things on the entire planet and leads the stars forward in the name of the absolute emperor.

Such a great achievement is rarely achieved even among endless possibilities.

"As long as human beings are in groups, they will achieve nothing. Disharmony, differences, and conflicts of rights will cause human beings to bind and degrade each other."

Ying Zheng said bluntly: "Therefore, people do not need to be divided into categories or form groups.

Only the ultimate and supreme true person can rule over the world and dominate the species."

“A real person.”

Li Ye, who naturally knew the meaning of a real person, looked around and said with emotion: "Even if his body has turned into a machine, his spirit has not changed. Can he be called a real person?"

"Naturally, what makes a man a man?"

Ying Zheng said: "It's not about the number of eyes, limbs and fingers, but about responsibility.

It is to take responsibility for this world, including the sky, the earth, the sea, and all life that lives here, and for the future of this planet.

Panhuman history, can you choose which species go extinct? Can you decide the amount of carbon emissions that pollute the atmosphere?

Can you stop the melting of polar ice caps? Can you control your endless desires?
I can do it. I reign supreme over the world as the only mediator.

Therefore, I can do it.

Therefore, I am a human being, because I am the only person in the world who bears all responsibilities."

"So there is no possibility——"

Li Ye, who understood why such a world was cut off, sighed and said, "Human possibility is desire. Your Majesty, when you are complacent, the world will no longer move forward."

There is only one person in this world, but after this person is no longer moving forward and is in a state of completion, human reason judges that this world has lost its possibilities.

But this world is also the furthest from the fixed matters. The reason why Ying Zheng is so complacent is that
Ying Zheng and his empire were so powerful that there were no longer any external enemies on this planet.

Without competition there is no pressure, and without pressure there is no progress.

Failure to make progress means death and the loss of a future with infinite possibilities.

But as long as there is pressure, as long as there are external factors that make Ying Zheng feel pressured, the world will not die, but will continue to exist with infinite possibilities.

But Ying Zheng, who wanted to unify the stars, felt pressured, and I'm afraid it was only aliens who felt pressured.

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Ying Zheng became interested and asked, "How do you determine that my rule will be a world without possibility?"

"You mentioned the Great Wall that looks up at the sky, right? It's a huge structure 2,000 kilometers above the ground. It's really amazing."

Li Ye thought about the Great Wall of Satellites and said, "Even in the history of mankind, there is no such thing, but they have already reached the moon, and some probes have even crossed the distance of the stars and headed for the endless universe.

To use the unit that Your Majesty is most familiar with, the Great Wall of Satellites is 150 kilometers above the ground, and that probe, Voyager 750, which embodies our expectations for the future, has already left the earth billion kilometers above, which is the distance of million Great Wall of Satellites.

Such are the possibilities that emerge from the interweaving of human desires.

Your Majesty, you are too strong. When you shoulder all the responsibilities, it means that if you stop, humanity will also stagnate."

"Is this true?"

If Ying Zheng had a body, he would have frowned at this moment and said, "A leap of 150 billion kilometers, can the history of mankind achieve this?"

"nature."

Li Ye looked calm and said, "When did Your Majesty unify the world?"

"The unification of the planet was completed in the 13th century. After the Aztec Republic was wiped out in the Arctic, the planet completely fell into my hands."

Ying Zheng said: "In the next few hundred years, there will be a peaceful and prosperous era. There will be no disturbances, no fighting, only peace and prosperity for the country and the people."

"After you raised the Great Satellite Wall, have you ever thought about continuing to explore the starry sky?"

Li Ye asked: "When was the last time your majesty made a technological innovation? Is your majesty still making progress without the pressure?"

"—"

Ying Zheng fell silent and said, "Technological innovation. I was ahead of other Western countries in completing the industrial revolution and realizing the use of gunpowder—"

"It's not enough. What can a mere gunpowder do?"

Li Ye opened his five fingers and said, "Now Daqin still relies on burning firewood to generate electricity. Although it is just to serve the only person and does not allow more development, this is the beginning of stagnation. You no longer need to vigorously develop technology to face foreign enemies, you only need to entertain yourself."

"It seems that you have a lot of opinions about my Great Qin."

Ying Zheng said calmly: "So what is your plan? Are you going to destroy my empire like the Chaldea mentioned by Mustard?"

"That all depends on your majesty's wishes."

Li Ye put away his hands and said, "If your majesty wants to fight, then we will fight to the death. If your majesty has no intention of fighting, we can communicate in a friendly manner, right?"

Li Ye has already noticed that there are more than one life form in the Afang Palace at this time, and their magic power is strong enough to rival that of heroic spirits.

This is not important. What is more important is the defensive measures that the holy body possesses.

Li Ye had no way of judging how strong the defense of Ying Zheng's body was, so it would be a bad idea to start a fight rashly.

If possible, he would prefer to develop for a period of time first.

"Oh? Interesting, I'm discussing this with you."

Ying Zheng said in a surging tone, "Then tell me, what do you want?"

Ying Zheng did notice what Li Ye meant by being complacent.

The stagnation of the last few hundred years is unprecedented.

If no outsider pointed it out, it might take Ying Zheng hundreds of years to realize this, or he might not have had time to realize it.

"Your Majesty, you allowed us to come to see you for technical learning. You must have other ideas, right?"

Li Ye said: "Take what your majesty wants in exchange for what we need."

"Interesting, then tell me straight away."

Ying Zheng did not hide it and said, "I need your physical data to compare with Jie's. Although it is not as good as a celestial being, it also has unique advantages."

"mine?"

Li Ye blinked, seeming surprised by Ying Zheng's request.
