Ming Dynasty, New Rome, and Infinite Divine Machine

"No. 92, because they can't burn too high a number, and the two of them are not skilled enough. Wen Yuan's gun also uses No. 92. The one with the largest output currently is No. 0, and No. 0 Jusu is used in large quantities. What is supplied will be supplied to all mustard worlds. The same is true for the No. 0 Jusu that Lianshan is going to add."

"And the cannons on the ship?"

"Hey, this is an interesting point. Strictly speaking, Torch Element No. 0 is enough, but the court is asking us not to directly link the weapon system to World No. 135. This is because the instantaneous power of the weapon system is too high, which will cause huge fluctuations. More importantly, they are just a tributary state." Shangluo said solemnly:

"This is the art of controlling your subordinates. Don't use this huge temptation to test their sincerity, because people's hearts cannot withstand this kind of temptation. Connecting the weapon system in parallel is equivalent to handing the firing button of the cannon into their hands. . So the weapons, systems and power systems will follow two disconnected energy circuits. The function of No. 135 on the ship is the engine department, and the firearms will be managed by another department - in addition, they are actually waiting for new things. "

"Is it convenient to reveal it?"

"Yeah, that's fine for you." Shangluo thought for a while, and then said, "Actually, I'm waiting for 0 Jusu. 92 Jusu is still looking for a suitable place to cooperate, and it may not be produced in Mustard Seed World. . Because the 95-number Jusu is a truly powerful thing - the , and mentioned before are actually fuel with spiritual energy added to them. In the final analysis, they are still fuel, just because there is spiritual energy contained in them, so that they can be used to their full potential. It has properties that only exist 'theoretically'. But No. Jusu, it is not a fuel, but a spiritual fluid."

"Is this what you gave to the court before?"

"Yes, that's it. Because it's still under development, all departments are waiting. The th Jusu will bring revolutionary changes, because it will be used in the Lingsha device as a reaction-bearing device. Huachi'. To achieve the goal of 'Zhu Xian', Lianshan needs to use these. After Rome sinks, we will also have to use this kind of weapon of mass destruction to shock the world."

"Ah" Phaethon sighed, "It's really lucky for this world to have such a responsible person laying the foundation for the order of this world. It's a pity that Rome could have been more than this, but it's not a bad thing below. Opportunity. But.”

Phaethon pondered for a while: "If this is the case, wouldn't Rome have become a kind of mustard world? Aren't we also putting ourselves in a small box?"

"Can it be calculated like this? We haven't communicated with each other yet. When we start handing over the work later, we can indeed calculate it like this. Can we ask our professionals to calculate it later? They are very powerful, Xiao Han, his sister I'll go investigate at noon, and the results will probably be available this afternoon."

"Xiao Han and his sister are really efficient. By the way, what is the specific name of this subject?"

"Social engineering. It's actually about writing drivers."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Miss Apollonia, explain it to her."

Chapter 562 Purpose

Apollonia intercepted an encyclopedia section on Fetion and sent it to her.

"So it turns out that you have electronic equipment made of large-scale integrated circuits. Those equipment are so complex that there is no way to use human power to directly call the functions, so you start to stack up the compilation layers step by step like a truss bed? No. You know too well, after all, we don’t have large-scale integrated circuits here yet.”

"In short, when solving complex problems, you need a set of programs to drive complex hardware. For now, if the Mustard World is regarded as hardware, those of them who set the order for the Mustard World can be regarded as I'm writing drivers now - but there's a difference."

"How to say?"

"Because the large-scale integrated circuits at 'my home' are mass-produced technology, the 'drivers' written are universal and applicable to all hardware of the same batch. But here, all mustard worlds are different. Each Mustard Seed World has its own characteristics and needs to be treated in a unique way. This is completely different in my home. Therefore, each Mustard Seed World needs to customize and maintain a special set of gifts. But if this continues , it seems to be getting more and more tiring.”

Looking at the number, Shangluo holds world number 1039, and the survey of the world is in progress. I don’t know how many worlds there are yet, but it seems that each one needs to be surveyed like this and a "driver program" written.

However, if each program is different, different people will be needed to manage it, which will continue to increase labor costs. This will also make it difficult for the technology to further benefit everyone - just like the Fetion brand they hold, it cannot be promoted in the final analysis. If they want to promote it, they can only replace the underlying logic, because the current spirit network cannot withstand so many signals at once. .

"Well, when the affairs of World No. 1039 come to an end, the plan can progress to the next step: starting to lay out the second generation spiritual network based on the Pure Land. The specific details of how to do it will be revealed in the afternoon."

"Speaking of which." Phaethon hesitated, "I'm wondering if the world of Rome was also tested in this way, would it feel smaller all of a sudden?"

"It's different. Rome is not the person in the small box. After all, your world will not speed up. It will keep in sync with the outside world. Only in this way can it be valuable. If you throw people from the outside in and it still speeds up, then it's not Pure land.”

"what is that?"

"It's hell. 18 levels of hell."

At noon, Shangluo ate in the school cafeteria.

Towards the end, there was only one exam left waiting in front of him. It is a college entrance examination that determines which university to attend, and a scholarly examination that confers citizenship without any difficulty.

But this is the Wutaishan Training Center, a school for training craftsmen. So the atmosphere here is far less tense than outside, because there are many ways to recruit students in universities. Including Shangluo, most people had almost figured out their whereabouts before the exam.

"But then again." While eating, Shangluo suddenly remembered, "It seems that everyone here is not too nervous, right? It's not just us, I don't seem to be that nervous outside either?"

"Well." Across the dinner table, Han Xingzhi nodded and said, "After all, it's not the imperial examination that existed for hundreds of years. After all, it's not. At that time, the admission rate was only 5%, and the selection was level by level, and each level was only 5%. Because at that time, There are not enough resources. Now, every province has many national universities, provincial universities, city universities, etc., and the teaching resources are quite abundant. And after they come out, everyone’s salary will be similar, about 10 taels per month. . If you don’t go to Nanjing Institute of Technology and other top schools, the pressure is actually not that great. You won’t starve to death anyway.”

"And there is not much difference between the top schools in each province." Qi Yuan added, "Although the schools in South Zhili are indeed the best, the schools in North Zhili are almost as good. In other places, they are almost the same. They're on the same level. It's just that they specialize in different categories. Besides, if you want to go to a weird school like the Imperial College, it's really only available in the capital.

"Ah," Shangluo pressed his forehead, "Why does it seem like my destination is so strange?"

"It's not that strange, actually. Xiao Han's sister seems to have gone there too? I heard you say before that she seemed to be slacking off."

Han Xingzhi took a sip of water: "Fishing happened before. Last night he was carrying a backpack as if he was going out to fight. He made a huge camping bag and put on all the cans at home. But he seemed to be back in the afternoon? I don’t know, with so many preparations, can we just go there in an afternoon? Even if she goes camping, she has to come back tomorrow. Besides, why are my parents so solemn? They look very happy."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly reacted: "I said, brother, has she gone to your place?"

"Yes." Shangluo nodded, "I entrusted her to help me investigate the affairs of World No. 1039."

"Oh! No wonder she is so excited. Now her credits are secured. But why didn't she tell me?"

"Your sister has a good temper. Have you offended her?" Shangluo asked.

"No, I just asked her if she was so happy. Did she have a brother-in-law or something? Then she didn't talk to me before going out this morning. It's over, for her, it's been a long time since she left home, right?"

"She said it would take about three to five days, and it's probably coming out soon."

"It's over, it's over! She might have to hold her anger for three to five days. To her, it means that I offended her three to five days ago, and I still haven't explained it properly. It feels hard to handle. Should I go and give it to her? Catching the wind or something?”

"If you want to go, go ahead. We'll have it in the afternoon anyway, okay?"

The ringtone rang, Shangluo picked up the phone:

"Oh~~ I'm back. The plan went well. She also wrote the report. I'm going to see her, do you want to go too? Then let's go together."

Leibu, lounge.

Han Xingsi had been waiting inside for a long time. She seemed to have taken a bath before coming back. She seemed to have taken a bath in the "Yaochi", and she still smelled of soap. However, the bag on her back was deflated and the supplies inside were exhausted.

"There are two main things." She pointed to the report. "Every feasibility has been verified, but I saw two unique uses that need to be mentioned."

"Yeah, tell me."

"First, it's so fast! The 365 times acceleration is really very efficient. In terms of time, I actually finished writing this report in a 'moment' because I was writing it at 365 times the speed. , writing has never been so fast. Second, one thing I also mentioned in detail in the report-this world has a unique potential, that is: to serve as a prison. Life span has lost its meaning to heaven and man, but time has long Meaning. That world has the potential to serve as a prison. Those who have made mistakes and are not suitable for reincarnation can serve their sentences in a specific closed area and then return to the sun."

Chapter 563 The Punishment of Falling from Heaven

"Used as a prison?" Shangluo hadn't thought that the first use would be this.

"Yes, prisons are important. Of course, the establishment of order cannot be separated from violence, and prisons represent violent punishment. Taking a person out of his usual living environment and detaining him in a closed space will It is a very severe punishment, and it is appropriate and moderate. Do you still remember the murder case where a father killed his son some time ago, right?"

"Well, I remember that it seemed to make the emperor very distressed."

"Because all death sentences must be reviewed and signed by him personally, which means that he is responsible for all death sentences. If the facts of the case are unclear, he will not have any psychological pressure to put it aside. But this is the case. The facts of the case are particularly clear, but the facts of the case are not clear. The external affairs are extremely complicated, making it extremely difficult for him to make judgments. In theory, as long as he does not sign, the death penalty will not be carried out. But if he is the only one who does not sign, then he will be under the spotlight. And this.”

She pointed to the inside of the door: "I observed the changes in the speed of time inside. I found that from the normal flow rate to 365 times the flow rate, there is still a very large space that can be gradually constructed. From 10 times, 20 times, 50 times, a hundred times, two One hundred times, all the way up to the highest 365 times. We can build eighteen levels of hell, and the flow rate of time gradually increases. One year in the first level is just one year. One year in the bottom level is three hundred and sixty-five years. . This is also an extremely long period of time for heaven and humans. Those with unstable Taoist hearts may directly experience the decline of heaven and humans, and enter death and silence."

"So this is another level of 'imprisonment until death'?"

"Well, because the modern judicial system, especially after adding magic, allows us to analyze every detail of the case in detail, and we can take as many factors into consideration as possible when sentencing. Generally speaking, as long as no harm is done to others, We generally use punishment cautiously if it causes irreparable harm. If we do not deprive others of their lives, we will generally not execute them. For heavenly beings, we also have this consideration: even heavenly beings may not be able to be killed. die."

"Ah yes, indeed."

This is the first time Shangluo has considered this situation - that is, even if he is killed now, he will not really die. As long as the Pure Land is established, everyone will just go to the Pure Land to stay for a while after death. Although this was still murder, it actually did not cause "irreparable" damage, because he could still come out as a good man after 18 years. When homicide itself is no longer an "irreparable" injury, the scale of the death penalty and other penalties must be reconsidered.

"So, Mr. Shang Tianjun, what kind of punishment do you think should be given to someone who kills someone and lets the victim go to the Pure Land to wait for 18 years to be reborn?"

"Well, I'm not sure yet. But..." Shangluo thought for a moment, "I think we can let the prisoners go to the 18th level of hell and still stay for 18 years. Three hundred and sixty-five times the speed is 6570 years of somatosensory time."

"Pfft -" Phaethon was drinking tea and almost spit out: "Good guy, good guy, is this the advancement of technology? Now we can lock people up for six thousand years. It's terrible."

6570 years. This has already reached the "ancient times". It is equivalent to someone being imprisoned from the time of the Three Emperors in ancient times until now, and the sentence has not yet been completed.

It is true that only those who have violated the laws of nature can be imprisoned for such a long time. It is really very shocking.

"Of course you won't be imprisoned for six thousand years just to kill someone." Shangluo replied, "It still depends on the situation. If it makes sense ethically, it can depend on the situation. For example, if you want to avenge your father or your children, let the other party If you go to the Pure Land and stay for 18 years, it feels like you can spend 18 years in prison. Although the circumstances are excusable, the law does not encourage private fights, and it is more reasonable to impose appropriate punishments. But under what circumstances should you be imprisoned? 6570, I haven’t thought of that yet. Oh, right.”

Shangluo asked Han Xingsi, "Has the court prepared a plan? Is there still a death penalty?"

"Yes." Han Xingsi nodded. "Although the conditions for 'killing people' are expected to be very harsh, there is still the possibility of actually killing someone. Therefore, we are also preparing the corresponding punishment of five thunderbolts. However, Lord Shang Tian, there is actually another corresponding punishment, which we already have."

"what?"

"Exile. Even if it is a life sentence, it is still a prison sentence. But in our current judicial practice, we will not impose a simple deprivation of liberty sentence on real serious criminals, but rather banish them to Haozhou and Java Island. , and other corners of the world. This is much crueler than imprisonment, and more suitable for punishing those serious criminals who are not worthy of the death penalty, but need 'real punishment'."

"Wait a minute. You mean we can also be exiled in Mustard Seed World No. 1039?"

"I call it the punishment of falling from heaven. Depriving them of their spiritual intelligence and banishing them to the lower world, suspending their self-recognition as heavenly beings, they will be reincarnated in ignorance for life after life. Only when their calamity is over can they be punished. Recall. So the 18th level of hell can be made into the bottomless abyss - the 18th level of hell is the ground of World No. 1039. Depriving it of its spiritual intelligence as a heavenly being, causing it to fall from heaven and suffer the suffering of reincarnation. I think this It’s a big enough deterrent.”

"." Shangluo was frightened, "Isn't this too scary?"

"Well, in theory, this is more terrifying than what is now called 'death penalty'. After all, if you shoot him, he will be a traitor 18 years later. There is no punishment effect. If you don't intend to wipe out his soul, then deprive him of his existence." 'Continuity', causing him to fall to heaven - execution plus falling to heaven, this is the ultimate punishment that contrasts with the previous death penalty. As for the five thunder strikes, it seems that there is no need now, because for heavenly beings, conventional means are not enough to cause An 'irreparable' loss. Because for heavenly beings, there is always time and opportunity."

This is the consistent thinking of the imperial court. Irreversible harm is responded to with irreversible punishment. In the past, this was a contrast between murder and the death penalty. But here in heaven, killing cannot be killed, and even the death penalty is not so easy to kill.

In this process, what plays a key judgment role is the "continuity of consciousness", that is, whether "my existence" will be suspended.

It would be a very scary thing if someone reset their memory every time they slept. Because this means that the continuity of his consciousness will be interrupted once every day, and it means that he will be killed once every day. Every day when you go to bed, you have to say goodbye to the world you are familiar with. The next person you wake up in will be another person.

In this case, even taking sleeping pills is tantamount to "murder".

Chapter 564 The Ultimate Punishment

Shangluo pondered for a while: "So, is it reasonable to replace the death penalty with execution plus the punishment of falling to heaven? Now, simple execution cannot interrupt the continuity, because he will still be reborn in the pure land, and his consciousness will not be interrupted. After executing him, Being banished to the 18th floor of the bottomless abyss is a punishment that makes me feel terrible when I think about it - by the way, why did you prepare all this so early?"

"Because laws are the cornerstone of order. Those of us who engage in social engineering have to consider these governance issues."

"If that's the case...wait a minute. I'll make a call."

Shangluo dialed Zhu Xianen's number. He usually has nothing to do in the afternoon, so he can usually answer the phone at any time.

"Huh? Shangluo, are you okay?"

"I would like to ask, is the death row inmate who issued the review last time dead now?"

"No. My signature here only means that the process has officially started. It has to wait for the three courts to conduct the final review of the case, and then send it to me to draw a summary, and then the questioning can start one after another in the autumn - but generally It won’t be executed that year, because the death penalty also has to be queued, and the forensic examination also has to be scheduled. Generally, it will take three to five months, but I will definitely not live until next fall."

"Then how about this."

Shangluo informed him of what had just happened——

"Good guy! You are so cruel! But indeed, if you don't kill him fast enough, you might let him catch up with the Pure Land. If he catches up with the Pure Land, killing him will be in vain, and sending him in will disgust other people. Tsk, This plan is good. The pressure of Sun Wukong under the Five Elements Mountain is still too light. It will make him fall to heaven and become insane, which will be more punishing. Then the 17th floor above can be used to imprison prisoners with less serious crimes, which will not waste time. How do you plan to arrange the time for layers?"

"If the 18th floor is a bottomless abyss, then the 17th floor is 365 times. One year on the 17th floor, and only one day outside. But the first 17 floors are probably not used for the time being - ordinary prisons are scary enough for mortals. That’s right. Before all members are promoted to heavenly beings, there is no need to speed up the detention. It’s just that the Pure Land will arrive before the ‘promotion’, so it is necessary to deal with the ‘immortality’ problem brought by the Pure Land first.”

"Where are these prisons going to be built?"

"That's the situation." Shangluo replied, "First of all, it's all inside the can. The location of the Pure Land is directly above the can. It can be stacked layer by layer. It's enough to stack up to 33 heavens. Now it's just The first level is under construction, and different play styles can be prepared for each level. The 18th level of hell is directly under the can shell, and the flow of time gradually accelerates as it goes deeper into the lower levels. Until the 18th level of the bottomless abyss, wait directly until you go to the lower realm. "

"Very good, very good. The design and planning of the 33rd Heaven can be done well. After all, it is a place where everyone can take care of themselves. It's good to have some auspicious clouds and Yaochi, and some big rivers. That's right, 18 Will the bottomless abyss affect life in the lower realm? After all, they have to live a life."

"I asked just now. From a social engineering point of view, when you throw it away, you have to clear your memory, which is equivalent to a blank sheet of paper. When such a person appears below, the impact on the lower world is very limited. It is the same as throwing it away. Wild boars aren’t much different either.”

"Well, I think it's no problem." Zhu Xianfen nodded, "Then I think you can start construction in the near future. Oh, by the way, because the 33rd heaven and 18th level of hell are built for everyone, I will call you later Hold a joint meeting, call people from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Punishment, and ask them to evenly allocate construction funds for you."

"Is there money here?"

"As for public facilities, let's all chip in. We can't let you suffer alone. And those old men, seeing as how time is almost up, should be concerned about where to retire and vacation. Okay, I'll make a phone call first. Anything else?"

"No. See you later."

After Zhu Xianfen gave a few more instructions, the two hung up the phone. Shangluo gave Han Xingsi a thumbs up:

"His Majesty the Emperor said that it is absolutely possible. The effect is very good, and it is ethically and technically appropriate. In addition, he finally said that this is simply a model example of social engineering. He asked you to sort out the copy and be more prepared when publishing the article. One copy, he will publish it on the internal reference for everyone to see."

"Oh!!! Thank you! Thank you! Shang Tianjun, it's better to work here. I finally know why that kid likes to call you big brother so much. I even want to call you big brother."

"Hey, sister, I was here first!" Han Xingzhi shouted, "You are several years older than him, why do you have the nerve to call him big brother?"

"Tsk, look at how stingy you are. So what? Shangluo, there are indeed some branch matters to talk about."

"Oh, please tell me, please tell me." Han Xingsi is indeed a professional. She saved up such a plan in "a few days" that even Zhu Xianxen recognized, which made Shangluo feel lucky that she had made the right decision.

"Two things. First of all, I feel that it is very suitable for catching up on manuscripts. If possible, can you open some separate guest rooms on the 17th floor of hell? You can open some on each floor. Because there are quite a few people who want to catch up on manuscripts. , everyone wants to speed up here and finish their manuscripts.”

"Wait a minute. This is actually quite 'gas-consuming'." Shangluo replied, "It is possible to open it. I heard that many prisons provide guest rooms for people who want to find a place to live. There is no problem here. Big. But there is a fee. Speeding up 365 times is very expensive.”

"As long as you open it, there will definitely be a large number of people coming in to rush for the manuscript. Because it is better to spend money than to fall behind the cut-off line. You are giving many people a chance to make up for their previous "brains". After all, this is money to buy. Time! Money cannot buy time, so the extra time must be bought with real money."

"Okay, okay~ I don't mind as long as you give me money and generate some income. Is there anything else?"

"There are also issues related to the management of the lower realm. I don't know if you have discovered something." Han Xingsi looked at him and said, "There are many people in the lower realm. In fact, they will not die. Have you discovered it?"

"is it?"

"A hundred-year-old people have come out. Because as long as no one comes to claim their lives, those people in the lower world have no natural upper limit to their life span. I suggest that when we create 18 levels of hell here, we also build a ghost mission there to arrest the souls. Claim your life to ensure the normal operation of the world. This can be added to the negotiation with the dragon, you can recruit some 'ox-headed horse faces' in the lower realm, create the underworld, and then list everyone in the book of life and death. After our people fall to heaven, It can be temporarily transferred to the jurisdiction there. Well, that’s basically it.”
