The Forbidden City, in fact, has never been too clean, because it is so big, with about 9,000 buildings, the largest imperial palace in the world.

Until now, it couldn't have been cleaner, because Downing had arranged for the palace a full 100 sweepers, who began sweeping the floor early in the morning until nightfall, each returning to his room.

Although the Forbidden City has always been relatively deserted, it has never been so deserted, because only sweepers and people work quietly there.

In addition to the four entrances of the Wumen Gate, the Donghua Gate, the Xihua Gate and the Xuanwu Gate, which are heavily guarded, only the corner towers at the four corners have Wuji catapults, and the huge palace is even more deserted.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and foreigners don't feel anything about this day, so they don't feel anything when Tangning is not with their families.

Snowflakes began to fall in the sky of Beijing, which had been gray for a few days, and there was no wind, and the snowflakes were very large, and the dancing posture was unusually light.

Tang Ning, who was alone, walked out of the West Warm Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace, admired the snow, and was really happy.

Sure enough, it was still the magnificent weather of the Celestial Empire, and Tang Ning found the feeling of dominating the world in the Forbidden City, what Versailles, Buckingham, and the White House were all inferior.

"But if one man rules the world, will he serve one for the world? This couplet is really tailor-made for you. The sages of the Great Qing Kingdom thought that the world was as big as China, but how did they know that our Tang King had already ruled a place five times larger than China. A sweet, clear beautiful girl's voice came.

The couplet that the girl reads is the ancestral training of the Qing Emperor in the Xinuan Pavilion, and she will be the only companion on this Chinese New Year's Eve, at the age of 25, the Queen of Goryeo who is at the peak of her beauty and wisdom.

The only thing in this world that can turn the Queen of Goryeo into a soft girl is "Tang Wang Da", the guy who gave the advertising Ji the line "Tang Wang is here and doesn't pay for food" spread the name of Tang Wang all over the "world".

The soft girl hugged the Tang Emperor tightly from behind to pay for the pain of lovesickness.

What could be more emotional than kissing in front of the Heart Cultivation Temple? Whether it is the queen or the male king, they are all melted by the first palace of the world.

Lin Fei'er's face flushed, and she didn't forget to say: "You are finally here to conquer Greater China." ”

Tang Wang's favorite person today must be her, and he plucked the hair on her forehead with great pity, smiled and said gently: "Technology will eventually conquer it, including myself." ”

Linfield: "That's right! When the Jiqì Legion appeared, I knew that the earthlings could no longer stop you from unifying the world. This machine can still fall from the sky, who can stop their soldiers? You haven't equipped them with guns yet, you have easily conquered Beijing and occupied the Forbidden City, and there are still people who don't understand the power of this machine qì legion, anyway, if I were your enemy, I could only surrender as soon as possible, and this battle could not be fought. ”

Tang Ning laughed again: "Wrong." Don't go to conquer the world, the bigger the territory, the greater the responsibility, I've had enough of things like slapping the Indians on the back. It's not in my nature. ”

Lin Fei'er took a few snowflakes with her hands, then rubbed them into water in her warm palms, and smiled: "What's the matter?" You still don't want to conquer the Qing Dynasty? It's not this rhythm now, Beijing, Dalian, and Yantai have all fallen, when will Tianjin take it? ”

Tang Ning: "The teacher has a question for you to think about: Will technology disappear after it is created?" ”

Lin Fei'er: "Overall, no. ”

Downing: "Why? ”

Lin Fei'er: "Because it's a good thing, who will let the good thing disappear?" There are drawbacks and improvements are just that. ”

Downing: "Hehe, yes, good things, good things are worth keeping, even if it's completely bad, someone will keep it, maybe good things will become bad things, and bad things don't have to be bad things forever." Have you ever heard of my toxin bank and virus bank? This is an example of the bad stuff being kept. Even if I don't do it, someone will do it. ”

Lin Fei'er kept nodding her head, looking like a teachable child.

Tang Ning's tone changed, and he seemed to be full of philosopher's atmosphere, and said: "And the machine qì legion, alas, ......"

Lin Fei'er: "What's wrong?" Afraid that your opponent will also master this technique? Don't be afraid, as long as you take advantage of the opponent's unmastered to create a large number of machines, such as: 100 million units. Hehe, who can beat us? ”

Downing: "That's not what I meant. 100 million ...... If we really build 100 million units, then we are more dangerous. I mean, technology itself can be our enemy, not just us, but our entire human race. In addition to the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom, the fungus kingdom, the bacterial kingdom, the virus kingdom, etc., technology, which is created by human beings, is likely to be another world, think about it, science and technology have many places like a kind of creature.

It's what you just called the 'good stuff', the good stuff will be used, it will copy itself like a living thing, I invented wireless telegraphy, and now someone has copied it, the large-scale steelmaking method, it has also spread, the electric welding shipbuilding technology, it has spread, smokeless gunpowder, airplanes...... Oh, and recently the Japanese actually built a general-purpose fixed-wing aircraft before me, which is amazing. ”

Lin Fei'er smiled and said, "What is this?" Scientists all over the world are researching semiconductors, and this is the ultimate machine, so now no one can build PCs and machines except you, and this thing, according to my incomplete estimate, no one will be able to touch the threshold in ten years. Ten years from now, maybe your tech empire has become something, in short, it is impossible to surpass you in terms of the technological arms race, you are the true god. ”

Downing smiled strangely and said, "I don't know how Edison is doing with semiconductor research......

Lin Fei'er didn't know why he was smiling so strangely, in short, she remembered the question just now: "Hey, when will Tianjin start?" ”

Downing: "Anytime." I made up a random program, and I don't know when Tianjin will be attacked, this is amazing, right? ”

Lin Fei'er was solemn: "Awesome! In this way, it is even more impossible for Lord Wanyan's side to know. ”

Finally, it was cold outside, and the two returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall hand in hand.

Since Japan issued a ban on abolition of knives, the number of samurai swords produced has been declining, but I didn't expect the birth of Takehime to use knives as the main weapon, revitalizing the entire katana market, Mitsubishi helped the Warlords of Windsor buy a lot of good knives, or in short supply.

Because of the tradition of "100 refining into steel", the creation of Japanese knives needs to be forged by hand hundreds of times, which takes many years, and in the end, it may not be a good knife, so this knife is very expensive.

The Jiqì Legion exudes a strong aristocratic samurai atmosphere, which is the bad habit of a local tyrant warlord who doesn't care about the cost. However, he is also working on improving the katana, preparing to make his own carbon, tungsten, and cobalt alloy knives that are more powerful than traditional Japanese techniques, that is, materials similar to shield machine bits, and the mechanical properties of traditional katana are better than those of traditional katanas.

At present, there is only one such katana in the world, equipped with Tang Ning's personal Wu Ji, who is Tang Ning's 24-hour personal beauty bodyguard. Tang Ning is not used to having someone by his side all the time, but this is a good thing, with the opportunity to be a bodyguard, it perfectly solves the social pressure.

In the Forbidden City, of course, one qiē has to follow the customs, Tang Ning and Lin Fei drank tea in Sanxi Hall, and Yueji, who specialized in being a maid, made tea. Sanxi Hall is the emperor's study, which means "Shi Xi Xian, Xian Xi Sheng, Sheng Xi Tian". The tea comes from the 18 imperial tea trees sealed by Qianlong in front of the Hugong Temple of Longjing Lion Peak.

Lin Fei said: "The emperor always chooses some from thousands of dishes to eat a small bite and immediately asks the eunuch to change a plate, so as to prevent traitors from poisoning, I don't know if the emperor of Tang is afraid of others poisoning?" ”

Tang Ning: "My method is more advanced, and I've been eating food from the central kitchen of your Suiyuan Hotel lately." My process is like this, the system first pretends to be an ordinary user to order food, and after the drone is delivered to a certain node, I send a drone to pick up the food from that node, this drone provides a large number of important members with safe food, equipped with high-tech means to detect the number of times the safe has been opened in the middle of the way, even if someone forcibly punches a hole through the side door.

My random unmanned rack and safe are more complicated than the Qing Emperor's thousand dishes, and even so, I have one last resort, this machine named Yueji has an electronic sniffer, and her small test tube hides a large number of chemical assays, which can sniff out as many biotoxic substances as possible.

All kinds of poisons in my toxin bank are studying corresponding rapid detection programs, and there are treatment options, even if the commonly used toxins cannot be detected, there must be a treatment in the end, how about it? Safe enough, right? ”

Lin Fei nodded as he listened: "Reliable, too reliable, I don't have to worry about your safety anymore." ”

Tang Ning: "I'll give you a whole food safety machine." ”

Linfield: "Well, though it's unlikely that anyone will do anything to me. But who knows? ”

Downing: "That's why I always say that bad things don't have to be bad forever, and look, the toxin bank has made another meritorious service." ”

Suiyuan's central kitchen itself is almost unmanned throughout the whole process, and the consumption is large, so the possibility of being poisoned is small, and Tang Ning likes to use Suiyuan Hotel as an imperial kitchen.

Over the tea, Linfield said, "Let Suiyuan bring some snacks now, and I'll see how much time your safe food system will take." ”

The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, and civilian drones have stopped delivering, at this time, Yueji will "personally" go to the node of the Wind Bird Network to pick up the package, five minutes slower than usual, and it will take a total of ten minutes, and Yueji will drag the 99 snacks under Linfeier from Donghua Gate.

In order to test the limits of this servant, Lin Fei ordered 99 snacks like a spoof, and Tsukihime took ten pieces at a time, scoring ten times to get them all.

I really enjoy it, the thousands of delicacies in the central kitchen of Suiyuan Hotel are on call 24 hours a day to serve the people, and the emperor is more blessed than the emperors before the Qing Empire.

Linfield picked up the first snack and happily called out its name: "Love Wowo? It looks good, and it sounds good! ”

A small delicacy made of glutinous rice and sesame seeds as a cold cake, and the balls and fillings as a nest make this huge and deserted palace full of love
