Super God: Rise of Civilization

"Your Majesty, airplanes are very useful. Needless to say, their speed is absolutely the fastest in the world today."

"If it could be expanded while maintaining the same speed, could it be used to carry or transport people?"

"This will be another fast mode of transportation."

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has a long-term vision; he seems to have foreseen the role airplanes will play in the future.

Can anything that runs on the ground be as fast as something that flies in the sky?

If you run on the ground, you need to take detours and run more; mountain roads are the best example.

And what about in the sky?

Which is more time-efficient, flying in a straight line or not? A simple calculation will make it clear.

"Commercial use is not something we can rush. The Empire is still in the exploratory stage when it comes to aircraft. We need to ensure stability and train more pilots before we can use them for commercial purposes. But we can build aircraft sites in advance."

"Moreover, the emergence of airplanes will inevitably affect the Empire's military strength. Now that we have the army and navy, why can't we have another type of military?"

"National defense is the key to stabilizing the empire and reforming and strengthening the military. I suggest that aircraft should be prioritized for the military and should be divided into two types: military and commercial."

The Prime Minister's thinking is clear: the Empire is currently in the exploration and research phase of aircraft, and we cannot be too hasty for the time being.

Rushing things can easily lead to problems.

"Yes, that's right! The Ministry of Finance shouldn't hold the Academy of Engineering back. They're all working for the development of the Empire. Holding the Academy back is like digging your own grave and hindering the development of my Star Empire."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly not hinder the great cause of the Empire!"

……

Soon, the Imperial Academy of Engineering had developed a device that could fly like a bird, and the news was immediately publicized in the Imperial Daily.

Humans, who could only live on the ground, gradually began to venture into the sky.

This will surely be a moment remembered in history.

It was also the highlight of the two engineers who developed the airplane.

With the advent of airplanes, the Star Empire began to form an air force. Zhao Lizhen, the first person to fly, became the first commander of the air force and was responsible for teaching trainees how to operate and pilot airplanes.

As time went by, the Star Empire went further and further in its research on aircraft.

Various kinds of airplanes gradually appeared in this world.

It wasn't until the year 201 of the Star Era that the Star Empire finally reached its peak during the Second Industrial Age.

In the electrical age, almost everything that could be researched was researched.

In every aspect, things have reached their extreme.

The military, economy, politics, and culture of this entire civilization were enough to easily defeat Earth's civilization during World War II, before the atomic bomb was invented.

However, in the year 201 of the Stellar Era, an article on X-rays and an article on radioactivity theory appeared almost simultaneously on the desk of the Dean of the Academy of Engineering.

The appearance of these two articles immediately drew the attention of the president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

This could very well be the Star Empire's step into the next era.

He also wanted to be written into the empire's textbooks and recorded in the empire's history, just like the legendary dean who passed away on the same day as Prime Minister Zhou Puze.

This is the highest honor for them as scientific researchers.

Chapter 17 [The Emergence of Atomic Energy]

Central Plains, Imperial Palace.

Yang Yu sat in the imperial study, reading the policies issued by the Imperial Cabinet, without saying a word.

"Your Star Empire is quite interesting. You completed the first industrial age in a century, and then completed the second industrial age in another century."

Suddenly, Yang Yu, who was reviewing documents, was interrupted by the sound.

"You seem to be a year late."

He didn't even look up, continuing to review his documents.

"I'm not just guiding your Star Empire civilization; there are many civilizations that need guidance. Is there any problem with arriving a little late?"

Angel Yan crossed her legs and looked at the Emperor of the Star Empire in front of her.

“I didn’t want you to come.” Yang Yu put down the documents in his hand and looked up at Angel Yan sitting opposite him.

"In your terms, we call this routine."

She spread her hands and said, "Let me see how far your Star Empire has come. You are truly a civilization that creates miracles."

Her eyes began to roll back, taking in the current state of the planet.

"X-rays and radioactivity theory? You're already entering the pre-nuclear civilization era so quickly?"

Angel Yan was immediately astonished when she read the latest data from the Star Empire.

The development of this civilization seems to have been preordained.

Every visit brings her a surprise.

On my first visit, this civilization was beginning its journey into the steam age.

On the second visit, this civilization had already reached the pinnacle of the steam age and was poised to enter the electrical age at any moment.

On this third visit, this civilization had already begun researching atomic energy.

"The pre-nuclear civilization era?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yu looked at her with equal surprise. He didn't know what X-rays and radioactivity were, as his memories of them were from a very long time ago.

"The system has detected that the Star Empire is about to enter the Third Industrial Age. It has provided the host with technical data on atomic energy, electronic computers, space technology and bioengineering required for the Third Industrial Age, as well as related theoretical knowledge."

"The item has been delivered to the host's private space. Please check it."

at the same time.

In Yang Yu's mind, a voice about the system rang out, indicating that the system was beginning to distribute technological and theoretical knowledge of the Third Industrial Age.

"Forget it, there's no point in telling you too much. Anyway, you're just the monarch of this civilization, not a scholar. You wouldn't understand anyway."

"So, after considering it for two hundred years, do you want to believe in angels?"

Angel Yan knew that the Star Empire Emperor in front of her was not their Queen Keisha.

The monarch before us is indeed a great monarch, but he is not as all-powerful as Queen Keisha.

Queen Keisha is skilled in combat and academic research, but what about this monarch before us?

They can't fight, and they don't have the profound wisdom to study academic subjects; how could they possibly compare to her, Queen Keisha?

"I said long ago that I would not allow the faith of angels to dominate Origin Star. Even if you spread the faith of angels on Origin Star, can you be sure that my people will believe in you angels or in me?"

Yang Yu shook his head. He had never believed in angels before, he wouldn't now, and he certainly wouldn't in the future.

Angels, what have you done for the people of Origin Star?

On what grounds do they have faith in angels and in the justice of angels?

And I am the monarch who will enable them to live peaceful lives, to provide them with money to see a doctor when they are sick, to ensure that the elderly are cared for, the young are raised, and their children have access to education.

If they don't believe in me, are they supposed to believe in you angels, or in that so-called justice?

"Alright! Our thinking is simple: don't associate with evil."

Angel Yan shrugged; she was just asking a token question.

"Wait, please use the main entrance. Next time you come, please use the main entrance as well."

Seeing that Angel Yan was about to leave again, Yang Yu's face darkened.

Don't I have any dignity?

She shrugged again, but still showed respect to the other person.

He was, after all, a civilized monarch; this wasn't such a difficult requirement.

This was also the only monarch she admired besides Queen Keisha, and the first among mortal emperors.

Mortal rulers from other planets, upon seeing these angels, would almost kneel down to greet them.

She really disliked it.

After Angel Yan left, Yang Yu did not immediately take out the items distributed by the system.

Instead, they continued to look down at the policies issued by the cabinet, looking for anything that was inappropriate.

After reviewing the documents, he retrieved the items provided by the system from his private space.

Atomic energy technology, electronic computer technology, space technology, and bioengineering technology.

This involves information control technology in many fields, including information technology, new energy technology, new materials technology, biotechnology, space technology, and marine technology.

He opened a book on atomic energy technology, which was full of technical terms and theoretical knowledge that made his head spin.

Things like X-rays, radioactivity, and the radioactive element polonium.

He knew nothing else, except that the radioactive element polonium was apparently discovered by Marie Curie.

Then I opened books on electronic computer technology, space technology, and bioengineering technology, which gave me an even bigger headache.

"Biotechnology?"

When he opened the book on bioengineering technology, his eyes lit up.

Does the existence of bioengineering technology mean that if the Star Empire develops it, it can preserve those talented individuals and allow them to shine in the future era?

He picked up the telephone on the desk in the Imperial Study; it was one of those old-fashioned rotary dial telephones.

"Summon the president of the Imperial Academy of Engineering to my study."

After half an hour.

The Dean of the Academy of Engineering immediately put aside his theoretical knowledge of X-rays and radioactivity and rushed to the imperial palace of the Star Empire.

His Majesty the Emperor summoned him, and he was determined to come immediately.

"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty."

"No gift."
