Ming Dynasty, New Rome, and Infinite Divine Machine

He emphasized again: "Only when needed. As for how much is needed, it is actually decided by Nandou. We have two independent systems, one from the perspective of consumer demand and public utilities, and the other from the perspective of production and circulation."

"Ah, listen to this, it's very powerful!"

"Yes. From your perspective, this is indeed very powerful, because you don't have a single 'general artificial intelligence', and you can't even get one by stacking the trillions of computing power in the world, but we actually have a lot of them here. Just like you have a lot of chips there, but we can't use them here. But every family has its own difficulties. Tianyi Guiren did not come from the assembly line. Their output is not low, but each one is different. So if you want to train them to solve a set of complex problems, it is as difficult as asking the students of the Imperial College to go to the Yellow Book Library to compile the Yellow Book. I really like your side. A chip can be installed in a 'mobile phone' .ah"

He shook his head: "As far as we are concerned, each 'APP' probably has to train a Tianyi nobleman separately. Just like in the past, when people didn't have a washing machine at home, they would hire someone to wash their clothes for them. . People in the past did not have access to radios and televisions, because they would hire a troupe to sing in the yard and a band to play during meals. If you replace all the people who do these jobs with Tianyi nobles, they will understand. It’s just ‘Xi Ren’, ‘Qing Wen’, ‘Fang Guan’, just a little more rounded.”

"However." Lan Zhenren, who was behind the screen, also added, "Our route here is actually more suitable for solving some complex problems. For example, to solve production coordination, we don't need to stack too much computing power. We only need to let Tianyi The nobles will report the data separately, and then the immortal and the nobles of Tianyi will sit together and have a meeting. It will be decided by an immortal like me. This is the way of immortality."

"Ah, this is the way of immortality, I understand." Shangluo said helplessly, "It is indeed impossible to learn. After all, there are no real immortals in my hometown."

Just joking, he asked again: "By the way, will Beizhili expand in the near future?"

"Probably not in the short term." When Zhu Xianfen said this, he also checked with Lan Daoxing, and then gave an accurate answer, "Yes, if nothing changes, it probably won't happen in 10 years. 10 years After the inclusion of Shandong, the progress of the entire system was slowed down by half."

"Huh? What's wrong with Shandong?"

"It's not Shandong's problem, it's our problem, it's the imperial court's big problem. Look at the map yourself." There was a map behind Zhu Xianfen, "The 'Shandong' I'm talking about is not the same Shandong as you understand."

He pointed to the map: "You can see that on the map Shandong and the Liaodong region north of Shanhaiguan and south of Heilongjiang are the same color. Yes. We do not have Liaodong Province. Liaodong and Shandong are one province."

"Huh? Why is it designed like this?"

"It's hard for me to say that this was not my decision. When the Liaodong Capital Command and Envoys Department was established in Liaodong, it was placed under the Shandong Chengxuan Administrative Envoys Department - and this arrangement has not been changed for hundreds of years. "As he spoke, he slapped his forehead:

Chapter 582 Star Lord

"This (Jinling Yayan's) is just like the recurrent laryngeal nerve of vertebrates being miswired. It was not right from the beginning when it was a fish. After the basic function of controlling swallowing comes out of the brain, it can be directly It is connected to the larynx, but it has to go around under the arterial arch next to the heart. This is not a big problem for fish, because fish do not have necks, but humans do. Humans have necks, and the recurrent laryngeal nerve of humans has a big loophole. The enclosure is just in place. There are also giraffes, what a guy! The giraffe’s recurrent laryngeal nerve was pulled out more than five meters long, causing a delay in the giraffe’s meal.”

"So our current situation is that we are stuck by a problem like the recurrent laryngeal nerve?"

"Yes. Because this problem is exactly the same as that of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. It was indeed convenient to build Liaodong from Shandong at the beginning, but this problem has emerged since the Wanli year. In the face of Liaodong writing in the capital, we cannot go directly to Liaodong, but have to go to Shandong Jinan, and then sent people from Jinan to run all the way north out of Shanhaiguan, and even passed through the capital once in the process. Later, after the telegraph line was connected, the problem became less serious, although it still had to go around in a circle like the recurrent laryngeal nerve. But since electrical signals travel very fast, it’s not a big problem.”

"Then something went wrong now, right? But why not change it?"

"I don't know either!" Zhu Xianfen spread his hands, "I (Jinling Yayan) don't know why the people in front didn't change it quickly. It was originally a matter of writing in the Wanli year, but they just didn't To change it, people were forced to run circles back and forth between Liaodong and Shandong. Anyway, they were not the ones running the circle. Later, when the telegraph line was pulled up, it was already very difficult to change it, and now there is no way to change it. Because a new province was established A huge amount of administrative work must be carried out and the original relationship must be released from Shandong. The cost consumption in the middle is completely unreasonable and inexplicable. It will not only cause trouble for us, but also cause trouble for the people of Liaodong. .”

"Maybe people in Wanli years thought so too. Who did this in the first place? Although this decision was more reasonable at the beginning, after all, Liaodong didn't have many prefectures at the beginning, and it was unrealistic to establish a separate province. But who was the initiator? ?”

"No, no, no, I don't dare to say it." Zhu Xianxian waved his hand, "When I said I didn't dare to say it, you knew who made the decision in the first place, right?"

"." Shangluo glanced at Xiaoling outside the window, "I understand."

"So it hasn't been changed from generation to generation, and Liaodong has been so busy with border troubles that it hasn't been changed. Now, it's okay to make do, but it's not unusable. Right? It's not unusable. Tsk, I'm thinking 'It's not unusable' In a word, people who have thought about this issue from generation to generation have thought so. It seems that everyone was like 'yesterday', and history is still wonderful. Maybe the people behind will also curse, 'Why don't the people in the middle change!' What the hell did the guy in the middle do!'."

"Is there no one behind us?"

"Hey, that's true." Zhu Xianfen nodded, "I feel much better when I think that no one will scold me later. But having said that, in addition to the administrative process issues that stun Mr. Tianyi, there are also some more realistic issues. problem. The main industry in Liaodong is 'large-scale agricultural production', and agricultural production is not as controllable as the industrial production line, resulting in a large number of errors that need to be corrected. This is intolerable to them. They are still adapting to compatibility with large-scale Algorithms for large-scale agricultural production. And the most important thing is——"

He shook his head: "Agricultural production is inevitably affected by the weather, and we have no way to influence the weather now. Therefore, it is estimated that we will have to wait until the Beidou system has perfected its weather forecast before further expansion can begin. This In the process, it is estimated that more Tianyi nobles will be dispatched to weather stations in various places to monitor weather changes, and meteorological bureau agencies will also be dispatched to wider areas. Well, this is actually for further coordination of agricultural production in the future. Laying the foundation is equivalent to expanding another function.”

"So that's the case. Has the imperial court ever considered launching a satellite?"

"Launching a satellite?" Zhu Xianfen looked at the sky, "Isn't that a cartoon? You keep telling me that many things are cartoons, and I'm not confident anymore."

"No, the satellite is real."

"Destroying a satellite isn't difficult. If necessary, we could send the White Star to near-space and drop one. But finding someone willing to go into space and send a telegram is quite difficult."

"Will you be away on business for several years?"

Zhu Xianxian shook his head: "The Tianyi nobles don't actually need to stay there physically, they can go to and from work. But precisely because the working environment is in space, we have to train several space beans to change shifts. They have to come It should be no problem, but the observation methods need to be adjusted again. After all, mapping an area as large as the entire earth at once places high demands on Gongdou's own skills."

"We were wondering, aren't we discussing satellites? Why would the craft of painting be involved?"

"There is no way, the way of immortality is like this. You have to cultivate the corresponding noble talents of Tianyi. After all, the way of immortality itself cannot exist without people. 'Before you look at this flower, this flower and your heart will die together.' If no one opens their eyes to see it. , the immortal way no longer exists. By the way, you can actually try it."

"How do I try? Let me go to heaven?"

"No, what I mean is, didn't you say before that you wanted to cultivate Xingjun level Tianyi nobles? If you have Xingjun, these problems may be solved. For example, Nandou can be equipped with Siming Xingjun, Si Mingxingjun Lu Xingjun, Shangsheng Xingjun, etc. After being assigned, the overall function can be enhanced. Beidou can equip each province with a separate Star Lord, so that the process problems will disappear."

"Ah! That's right." Shangluo slapped his head, "This is the solution of the immortal way. Just choose the right person to solve it."

"Then it's up to you? You can fill out Master Lan's form later. Then you can talk to Master Lan and you will know how to deploy Star Master to Beidou. You can try to train him."

"Yes, I understand." Shangluo nodded, "However, there is a ready-made place to test it now. As mentioned before, some Doudou have been trained as 'APPs'? Which ones are still being tested?"

"It's still in testing, because Tianyi Guiren is currently not deployed in large quantities to individuals, only teams can apply - but there are also deployments. For example, as you know, there is a 'Fufu' in Yanqiu. She uses that Doudou alone. Do you want to borrow more?"

"Well, because I thought of some more practical uses. I have a friend who is a visually impaired teenager."

"You mean Xiao Gao, right? So you want a guide bean?"

Chapter 583 Fengjing

"Okay, the form is printed outside." Zhu Xianxian hung up the phone and was communicating with the communication room outside. Because the printer here is not always open, most documents are delivered directly to paper. So when it's time to open, you have to hire another Doudou to replace you.

After explaining the matter, Lan Daoxing also hung up the video call, and Doudou, who was drawing film in the camera, also went to rest after get off work.

"Let's sit here for a while. Oh, by the way, I have this, let's try it together."

Zhu Xianfen turned around and took out a plastic package from the cabinet, cut it open with scissors, put it on a plate and put it between the two.

"When the printing is done outside, I will ring the doorbell. Let's have some snacks first."

"Oh, yes, we have this too."

The small brown slices are bite-sized and square, with a faint aroma of soy sauce, fennel, cloves, and cinnamon. There is also the rich and delicious flavor of chicken juice.

"Dried tea, a local specialty. Have you tried it?"

"Ah, I've heard of it, but I've never eaten it. It looks similar to ordinary dried tofu?"

"It's actually dried tofu, but the category is different, so we have different names. It's similar to the difference between cooking wine and rice wine. Rice wine is essentially cooking wine, but cooking wine is generally used for cooking, while rice wine is specially used for drinking. This one is specially used as a snack. "Zhu Xianfen explained:

"It is reasonable to say that Qinhuai River should order a plate of this kind of dried tea to enjoy the scenery when drinking tea in the afternoon. If you want to eat more elegantly, it is best to warm some rice wine to go with it. There are only two people in this room, so it doesn't matter. Let's get started. That’s fine. Try it?”

Shangluo took a bite, twisted a piece with his fingertips and put it in his mouth.

"Oh! This tofu tastes like ham when chewed! Brother, have you ever heard that dry tofu tastes like ham when chewed together with peanuts?"

"No. This is dried ham tea. What you are eating is real ham."

"Huh? This is dried tea"

"It's dried tea from Caishiji. It's produced in Taiping Mansion next door. They can stuff shredded chicken, shredded beef and ham into the dried tofu. Doesn't it taste very chewy? This is the specialty of Caishiji dried tea. Authentic Caishiji dried tea will not break even if it is folded in half, it will return to its original shape when loosened, and it will feel elastic when eaten."

"This is super delicious! So, where can I buy it? Are you going to Caishiji?"

"You don't have to go to Caishiji Scenic Area to buy it. It's like eating beggar's chicken instead of going to Confucius Temple. Caishiji is right next door, so there are dry Caishiji tea shops everywhere in Yingtian. Look at the ones in front of your home. Are they sold in state-owned stores? I bought this at the door. If you really go to the local teahouse in Caishiji, you can get freshly made tea, not vacuum-packed dried tea. But the taste is quite different. , it’s almost like going to a brewery and drinking draft beer.”

“It turns out it’s not a tribute.”

"What kind of tribute do you want for dried tea? Are the soybeans made of gold or the soy sauce is made of gold? Just go to the door and buy it. This pack costs about 8 dollars. It is shredded chicken and ham in half, 4 pieces of the same. If it's original, A pack costs about 5 bucks.”

"By the way." Shangluo was eating and asked, "Can I buy this in Shuntian? Where in Beizhili?"

Because it is about to connect with the Beidou system, Shangluo plans to ask about the situation in Beizhili.

"Oh, you know what, I actually know. The answer is yes, but it's a little expensive. Last year when I went to Shuntian Palace, I was so craving it that I asked the Imperial Guard to go out and buy it. But in Shuntian, this thing is displayed in the southern goods store. The original flavor costs 8 cents, and the one with added ingredients is 12 cents."

“Are there many people buying it?”

"Actually, not many people buy it. Chagan is a specialty snack around Yingtian, and people in Shuntian have their own snacks. If you go to Nanhuo store, they usually wholesale soda. After all, 'cars and soda' is a national policy."

"The Nanhuo store in the south is the same as the state-owned store?"

"That's not the case. Although they are all state-owned stores in nature, the style of Beizhili is different from ours. Whether it is a Nanhuo store or a state-owned store over there, they are all big supermarkets, not in alleys. It’s a small shop. I usually go shopping by car and buy a lot at a time. The road in Shuntian is much wider than that in Yingtian, and even the city gate is wider. You can drive on the street over there.”

"Ah, now that you say it, I seem to think that Yingtian is actually not suitable for driving?"

"It's not suitable to drive in the first place. I always take the subway when I go out, otherwise it's too late. I feel that the sun is brighter over there because the streets are wider and the sun can shine on the road. There are many old-school shopping malls in Beizhili. Shopping streets and the like are all covered with bright glass corridors. You can go shopping even in windy or rainy weather, and they are sparkling on sunny days. The buildings over there are also covered with glass curtain walls, and the whole city is glowing. .”

"What a feeling."

"What did you feel?"

"I sensed that the people who designed that city had a deep love for humanity. Is there a name for this idea?"

"This concept is called Glorious City." Zhu Xianyi replied, "Sunchon City was not like this in the past. At that time, the protective forest had not been built yet, and the streets of Yingcheon were hit by sandstorms every autumn and winter. It was dark everywhere. The scene is full of sand as far as the naked eye can see. Therefore, there was the plan of Shining City. It was a policy implemented by the 79th Permanent Cabinet, more than half a century ago.

“Since then, huge skyscrapers have been built outside the city wall of Suncheon. Inside the buildings are community centers, nurseries, kindergartens, shops, barber shops, cinemas, etc. The bottoms of all residential buildings in Lu are elevated. Leave it to green spaces and sidewalks. Between the residential buildings are commercial complexes and office complexes, and the greening rate of the entire city reaches 120%.”

"120%? How did you achieve it?"

"Because the roof of the building is also covered with green plants, and the ground is 120% - of course this is an external statement, the downstairs can only plant some shrubs and greenery, and there is no way to do serious greening. And counting the internal As for the city, the greening rate has not actually increased.”

"Inner city? Hasn't the inside of the city wall been transformed like this?"

"No, because we can't afford to demolish it. The land is too expensive. The court can't do whatever it wants. Because the land outside Sunchon City is not expensive, it can be renovated like this. But correspondingly, the inner city has also been appropriately renovated. After the renovation, the glass corridor that was popular at that time was added. After the renovation, the whole city took on a completely new look. So..." Zhu Xianfen added:

"This is Yujing Yingtian, which corresponds to Shuntian in Beizhili. The current name of the capital is 'Fengjing'. Sometimes I will go to Fengjing Shuntian to accept tribute, because the 'Glorious City' of Fengjing is actually It has the aura of a heavenly kingdom. Yujing is a bit like that.”

"Spread the pie?"

Chapter 584 The little man in the box

Zhu Xianfen covered his forehead: "I don't want to be like this, but before I was born, Yingtian was already spreading the pie. I'm wondering if there is something wrong with this policy of letting single-family homes occupy land endlessly. But now it has It’s too late. The entire Yangtze River Delta has been completely urbanized. Almost every inch of the land is covered by cities. When taking aerial photography, it looks like a large area of ​​gray paint. By the way, do people in South Zhili have too similar aesthetics? How come everyone Everybody likes pink walls and black tiles, all in black and white. Don’t you get tired of looking at it? Just forget about a community with pink walls and black tiles. 32 square kilometers are all painted with pink walls and black tiles, and it’s almost mind-numbing to take aerial photography.”

"This can be regarded as a shock to another level, for the tributary countries. In addition, no one wants to change to other colors, maybe because they don't want to look different from other people in the community. I see occasionally people standing by the wall Spray painting, white walls are just right for painting, and most people don’t seem to paint away the paint outside the main entrance. Everyone is quite happy to do some decoration occasionally.”

"Don't let it pile up like this again in the Pure Land." Zhu Xianfen reminded, "I don't want to open the door and see endless houses again. At least there should be some wide roads and green space."

"What if everything in the Pure Land is built into a city of glory?"

"Actually," Zhu Xianfen touched his forehead, "After actual use, there are still problems. Some people think that the Glory City smell is too strong."

"Ah" Shangluo nodded, "Actually, I also want to say something. But because this is... something that has already been decided, I won't say more."

"This is indeed a problem, of course you can talk about it. In fact, no one thought there was a problem at first. It was only after using it that we discovered that there was a problem. There are indeed shops, nurseries, barber shops and other daily necessities in the giant skyscraper. Yes, but people. People always have to go shopping. The aroma of stewed food wafts from vegetable markets, small teahouses, and roadside breakfast stalls. This is like an old father, who always gives you what he thinks you want without asking. It doesn’t matter what you want. But the overall evaluation is still quite good.”

"That's true. Considering the environment in Sunchon, it's certainly good to be far away from the sand all of a sudden."

"Indeed, hiding from the sand was the most important thing at that time. Also, the next cabinet began to improve this. In fact, only the Glory City 1.0 around Sunchon was built completely according to the theoretical Glory City. Everything built in other places in Zhili has been improved and is Glory City 2.0 or 3.0. As for the original Glory City 1.0, because you can go shopping in the inner city, there is actually not much of a problem. Various large-scale businesses have also been repaired. Complex. Now the citizens there go to public green spaces to bask in the sun on weekends, and breakfast stalls are opened along the road. After decades of running-in period, the area has also found a new look. Generally speaking, this matter can be done well. Not bad. Actually.”

Zhu Xianfen shook his head: "Actually, at the same time, Yingtian was not as tidy as it is now. Didn't you see that the sky here was full of wires? At that time, the sky was full of wires like wire holes. At some intersections, the wires can be rolled into a ball."

"Is there still a time like this for Yingtian?"

"Because at that time, the route of Yujing Yingtian was considered to be the fastest to achieve urbanization - in fact, it was indeed fast enough. We only solved many of the problems it caused about 20 years ago. In the end, we are walking in the At the forefront of human civilization, we are exploring the best paradigm for human settlements. It is inevitable that some problems will arise. Anyway, we have sufficient foundation to use for trial and error. Fortunately, no one was harmed in the process. There were years when I had to take the subway to eat braised food. Anyway, the subway in Sunchon is free.”

"Free?"

"Yes. Unlike us here, many things in Sunchon are free. Gao Shiyu must have told you that after the standardized TV is ready, they are planning to distribute TV for free. This It's also part of the 'cars and soft drinks' plan. But in the future, after I ascend, I'll have to change things to distribute them. I haven't figured out how to distribute them yet. However, there are many beans in Beizhili. One TV for each family, instead of one for each family. The Bean Box Theater Company can also do it. In Nanzhili, maybe they will consider distributing software for everyone to use? You can make arrangements for this."

He glanced outside: "You should have a clear idea of ​​the situation in South Zhili. After you fill out the form, you should also be able to understand the situation in North Zhili."

"Isn't this watch a bit long?"

After thanking the printer at the door, he took out the form to be filled out for the Beidou system.

It was more like a booklet than a spreadsheet. It was densely packed with production-related procedures, and he could only understand the first page. The rest was a jumble of dots, like QR codes.

[The following are the ‘Book of Heaven’, filled in by Doudou. Just fill out the cover yourself and leave the rest to them. I'll watch it for you, and I'll also fill it out. 】

"By the way, can you understand the 'Book of Heaven'?"

[Otherwise, why do you think I am getting around in the bean circle? If you want to train Xingjun, the first thing is: he must be able to speak both heavenly books and human language. 】

"Oh, by the way, I have a question." Shangluo asked her, "I planned to borrow Gao Shiyu to use Doudou, but Doudou left my place, can they understand human speech?"

[It depends on the situation. In fact, Doudou can understand it, just like a dog can understand human instructions, but understanding human language is another matter. Even without my translation, smart Doudou can usually roughly understand what the instructions are. But actually learning to speak is another matter. 】

"Ah, so the former teenager is talking because"

【Because you promoted him, he can speak. The former young general also has the potential to be promoted to Star Lord, so you can try to promote him as well. 】

Shangluo nodded: "You can consider it. But you have to try it first. Test him this time? Former young general, come out."

From the baggage, golden gloves came out, and he saluted Shangluo first.

"Former young general, let me arrange a job for you. Select a Doudou who is talented and interested in being a guide bean. We plan to send him out to work in the Ministry of Water Resources. This task is left to you. Do it well. Do it. Well, you can be promoted to star officer first. Do you understand?"

[He said, ‘Understood! ! ! ! ! ’. 】
