In the corridor on the top floor of the most central skyscraper.
In front of Lu Ming and others, a fat and white old man sat paralyzed, and this old man looked very similar to a certain border tribe in the northeastern region of the Han Kingdom in the Northern Territory.
The old man is the head of the Beihai family.
The old man's face turned pale, because people occasionally passed by in the corridor, but he found that the tribesmen passing by didn't seem to see him being captured and being interrogated.
What's even more frightening is that the woman in front of him seems to know everything in his mind. He originally answered the questions the woman asked randomly, but the woman soon knew the correct answer, because every time the other woman asked a question, he was thinking Answers emerge naturally, and others steal your thoughts.
"Now, can you answer my question properly? I don't want every word you say to be a lie!" Candice said lightly.
"Yes, yes, I, I understand..." The old man turned pale and nodded with a wry smile.
Candice knew from his voice that he finally gave up resistance, and nodded with satisfaction, "The city you call the royal family lives in was not built by you. So, how did you inherit it?"
Lu Ming was pacing aside, listening to the old man's answer to Candice's question, but he was thinking about it. After a while, he asked clearly, should he go back and go directly to the royal city, the center of the capital of giants, and arrest the heads of the ten major families?
The ten major families who live in the central royal city and control the military and police system are the first of the hundred major families. Each CEO of a giant company is also produced from the peripheral members of the ten major families.
Capture the king directly and make them declare the collapse of order in the entire New World and start implementing universal elections?
Although, it will definitely cause huge chaos.
At the same time, the other path is still the original plan, supporting the resistance organization, and in the war against the rule of the Hundred Families, it is also the path of enlightenment for the people of the New World.
Both roads cost a lot for the people of the New World.
The first path seems simple, but in fact it may cause more problems. For example, even if you take over the heads of the ten major families, can it really bring about top-down changes in the entire New World?
Sometimes, top-down changes may actually mean changing the water without changing the medicine. The former powerful class is still enjoying the results, and they are thinking about restoration all the time.
"I, that's really all I know..." Over there, the head of the Beihai family looked at Candice with earth-colored eyes.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, take us to the energy furnace you mentioned. Then, as the head of the family, you summon Bei Haimao, who is in charge of affairs outside your clan, to meet with you."
From the information known to the head of the Beihai clan, other royal cities and Beihai City have similar patterns. It seems that there are no super strong defense measures, that is, some armed robots that cannot go out of the royal city. Jinguji Hyoki can slap them The broken kind.
But the central royal city is more mysterious and may have more defensive measures.
The head of the Beihai family is not particularly clear about the specific situation.
As for how the hundred major families inherited the royal city, according to these family history books, the ancestors were chosen by the so-called gods and given their mysterious city.
The energy furnace mentioned by the Beihai family leader is the so-called core machine that supplies the royal city.
…
A magnificent room on the top floor is the study room, with huge rows of bookshelves filled with countless books.
Lu Ming walked slowly, took down a book from the bookshelf and flipped through it casually.
The head of the Beihai family was by his side, and his expression softened a lot.
Lu Ming was thinking about the so-called energy furnace he just saw underground.
Countless products, including televisions and cars, were sent into the huge oven. According to the head of the Beihai family, this was the case in every royal city. The oracle said that this could provide the royal city with a steady stream of energy.
Now I know why the New World cannot support the elderly.
Not to mention the obsolescence of the economic system itself, the so-called energy that each royal city needs to support naturally consumes the new wealth generated by the New World to the maximum extent.
Otherwise, the top 100 families actually only have a million people, and the New World has a population of about 4 to 5 billion, so supporting them will not be a problem at all.
But it is obvious that the so-called energy furnace is a huge joke played by "God" on these hundreds of families.
Not to mention higher-level energy sources, even if the "god" uses a nuclear reactor? It is also enough to supply the energy consumption required by these royal cities.
And burning society's surplus value, and even throwing it in without distinguishing any product, even if this energy furnace can really produce energy, is this burning method scientific?
This is also the test of "God" to the royal ants in the experimental field. I hope that one day they will wake up on their own and develop science and technology to the point where they can truly plan the economy with big data.
The "god" obviously didn't want to interfere in the internal affairs of these ants except after determining the development model of the ant colony.
Thinking about the former "god" of the Imperial Continent, he brought out giants every once in a while, which was probably a test for the ant colony in the experimental field.
But obviously, the gods were tired of playing and were probably disappointed. Before leaving, they dragged themselves to clean up the mess?
Or maybe they don't exist forever. They came to the earth in this parallel world for some unknown reason, and their life span is about to end. Before their will dissipated, they chose themselves to inherit their ant farm?
After thinking about it, Lu Ming put the books in his hands back on the bookshelf. There were many books, but nothing useful.
Lu Ming turned to look at the head of the Beihai family, "The energy furnace will stop in a few days and is of no use."
"Yes, okay..." the head of the Beihai family hurriedly agreed. Compared with the god who manifested his holiness through oracles in the family records, these few in front of him were more like real gods.
Since he said the energy furnace was useless, it must be useless.
Take ten thousand steps back, if you don't obey his orders, you can imagine the fate of the entire family.
In the study room, a holographic projection suddenly lit up in front of the desk, with a slightly weird mechanical sound, "Bei Haimo is here!"
The holographic projection is what is happening outside the door. Standing respectfully with hands folded is none other than Shigeru Beihai.
Lu Ming nodded. After learning more about it, he found that the system provided by "God" to Wangcheng was not a real intelligent system, but it could be set up very simply. For example, family members could be entered into the system through a comprehensive scan and their names could be added. The system knows him.
When the situation becomes clear, some relevant scientific and technological personnel from the Han Kingdom in the Northern Territory will be selected to study it, and there may be some gains.
While thinking about it, seeing the head of the Beihai family looking at him eagerly, Lu Ming nodded: "Ask him to come in."
The old man pressed a button on the desk, and the study door slid open to both sides.
Bei Haimao strode in, but lowered his head and did not dare to look at anyone in the room. His face was full of excitement and could not suppress it.
As a peripheral disciple ranked one or two hundred, one can imagine how excited he is now when he is summoned by the head of the family.
Lu Ming looked at Bei Haimao, and then looked at the old man. This peripheral child was not very similar to the family's direct descendant, and the race was probably too strong for many generations.
"Master, I am Bei Haimao. I am honored that you know my name!" Bei Haimao cupped his chest and bowed deeply.
"Oh, nothing else. From now on, you will follow the orders of the dispatcher. He will convey orders to you on specific matters. What he said is no different from what I said!"
"Yes..." Bei Haimao slowly raised his head, and when he saw Lu Ming smiling at him, his smile immediately froze, and his face was full of shock.
I was thinking, dispatcher? The head of the house is called "Sir"? It’s confusing.
Now, it is completely unexpected.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Director, let's go to your office to chat." He said to the head of the Beihai family: "I'm leaving, keep in touch at any time!"
"Yes! Sir!" The head of the Beihai family touched his chest respectfully.
…
The magnificent building that Lu Ming and Sekhmet once visited.
It was still the same conference room, but the difference was that Lu Ming and Sekhmet sat at the main seats, and Bei Haimao sat beside him, with a gloomy expression on his face.
Candice sat opposite Bei Haimao and stared at him quietly.
Big Fruit and Jinguji Soldier Princess are hiding on the side.
"Tell me about your grand and wise plan." Lu Ming said calmly.
Bei Haimao didn't speak.
Candice smiled: "He is just like you, preparing to expand his power and seize the leadership of the Beihai family."
Bei Haimao's expression changed, and he looked at Candice with horror.
Lu Ming nodded: "It's not a big deal. People should have ambitions. Without ambitions and pursuits, they are like walking dead. But betraying your own family is not good."
