Anyway, it was okay all the way, so Li Yi simply motioned to Yang Yu to continue talking.
"Actually, I don't know about these things. Many of them are just what I heard, so I can't do them accurately."
Li Yi waved his hand.
"It's okay, let's listen to the story."
So, amid the rhythmic sound of horse hooves and the rocking of carriages, Yang Yu spoke eloquently.
Empire Continent, a name that sounds a bit strange.
Often the name of a continent is associated with the time, place and people where it was discovered.
If you think about it this way, it is easy to think that the discovery of this continent is related to the establishment of the empire.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
The birth of the empire actually happened almost at the same time as the discovery of this continent.
The empire is only a few hundred years old.
In other words, this is a very young continent.
At least that was the case when it was discovered.
Some people say that this is a continent abandoned by God, and the empire that established political power on this continent is actually a remnant of people exiled by God.
This statement was once very popular, but after the imperial authorities found out about it, the people who made this sound disappeared.
A very simple and cruel fact.
All those who had conducted in-depth research and discussions at the time were all eliminated afterwards.
This also led to the fact that although later people had doubts, because there was not much evidence, such a very doubtful statement disappeared in the long river of history.
And this is not the key point that Yang Yu wants to express.
In fact, he did not know these mainland secrets.
Yang Yu continued.
"Actually, when the empire was first established, there was only a small area in the imperial capital. However, due to some reasons, it gradually expanded and developed into the four major regions of southeast, northwest and northwest."
It turns out that except for the original imperial capital area, the original four major areas were all aborigines from the original continent.
Before the establishment of the empire, these aboriginal people were the real rulers. These four regions, distributed in four directions by the original four major clans, were originally the areas controlled by the four major aboriginal clans.
The so-called imperial capital is just a small area located in the center of the four regions. According to the records Yang Yu saw at the time, the initially established imperial capital was only about the size of two football fields.
so small!
Li Yi couldn't help but be surprised for a while when he heard this.
He actually knew that the Imperial Capital had gradually grown and developed on the basis of the Imperial Capital, and eventually unified the entire continent and renamed the continent the Imperial Continent.
Before that, there was actually no clear name for this continent, and there was no reasonable explanation for this.
But Li Yi understood it as soon as he heard it.
The reason why the mainland did not have a clear name at the time was probably because the aboriginal people were still in an era of ignorance.
The reason why the empire was able to sweep across the continent and establish the empire in such a short period of time was because those who used the imperial capital as their base had far more technology and technology than the indigenous people of this continent.
This was confirmed soon after, and the truth was even more shocking.
The original empire continued to grow from a small stronghold, and soon formed an invincible army, sweeping all the way in an attempt to rule the entire continent.
In this process, the four major indigenous tribes naturally would not give up and carried out desperate resistance.
At this time, the numerical advantages of the four major tribes were put into good use. Although the imperial army had an overwhelming advantage in every aspect, the number was unfortunately too small.
As a result, the two sides reached a stalemate. On the one hand, the four major tribes worked together to resist desperately regardless of gains and losses; on the other hand, the imperial army was too disparity in numbers.
This stalemate lasted for more than eighty years.
Hearing this, Li Yi glanced at Yang Yu in surprise.
After such a long time, it must have been replaced by several generations?
Sure enough, Yang Yu continued.
"At this time, the problem arises. In fact, fighting a war is all about logistics. Logically speaking, no one can bear such a long war. The four major tribes also think so. You must know that in addition to the fixed casualties, The number of their troops has changed for three generations, and this replacement does not happen one by one. Generally speaking, ten soldiers of the previous generation can be replaced by three to four soldiers of the new generation."
"As a result, the four major clans are rarely short of manpower."
"Here comes a strange thing. Except for those who died in battle, there are no losses in the number of the imperial army. How many people there were before, and how many people there are now. What is even stranger is that many veterans of the four major clans have discovered one thing. .”
"Their old rivals looked like they were eighty years ago, and they still look the same now, with no changes at all!"
Hearing this, Li Yi had already thought of something. He glanced at Yang Yu like a reflex and found that the other party also had a solemn look on his face. He probably also noticed this abnormality.
Sure enough, Yang Yu then expressed his thoughts.
"When I first saw this record, I was shocked. The civilization and technology far surpassed the indigenous people, the overwhelming combat power, and the appearance of the imperial soldiers who had not changed after more than 80 years. No matter from which aspect, these The ancestors of the empire are not like the aborigines of this world, and when you think about it, there were only two football fields the size of the stronghold, and some strange rumors..."
"What rumors?"
Hearing this, Li Yi interrupted Yang Yu's words with a stern look on his face.
"It is said that when the Imperial Capital was just a stronghold, some people saw a huge UFO in the sky. It made huge noise and light, turning the night into day. It took a full day and night before it was completely extinguished. ..."
At this point, Yang Yu had stopped talking. He believed that even if he didn't speak, the other party would already understand what he meant.
"So these so-called ancestors of the empire are aliens...or the kind of aliens with long lifespans?"
Li Yi spoke and glanced at Yang Yu.
According to Yang Yu, this seems to be the most reasonable explanation at present.
Yang Yu nodded and agreed with Li Yi's statement. Apparently he thought so too.
"I think so too. The so-called imperial stronghold, and the strange scene that someone described back then, are most likely those alien spaceships, a huge spaceship that is as big as two football fields. !”
"Then, according to your thoughts, why do you think this spaceship stayed on such an ancient and ignorant continent? Not only that, but it continued to stay and even established an empire?"
This time it was Yang Yu's turn to shake his head.
"I don't know, but there must be a reason."
At this point, the two looked at each other and immediately understood each other's intentions from each other's eyes.
Regardless of the main purpose of the two of them, if it was out of curiosity, they might as well pay a little visit to the imperial palace.
Because it is said that the location of the palace is exactly where the legendary spaceship landed!
Haha... A civilization that even has a spaceship crash-landed on an uncivilized continent. Well... no matter how you look at it, it's all a drama about aliens crash-landing in a savage land. So the biggest thing... It may be that the energy is exhausted, or the power is damaged, or other reasons.
How could a spacecraft that Li Yi had always believed could withstand the test of interstellar travel not carry enough energy, or have its power be damaged when landing?
Is the core of your machine placed outside the spacecraft?
Whenever he flipped through some third-rate science fiction movies and saw scenes like this, he would try not to complain, but in the end he couldn't help but complain.
But now, such a plot has come to life.
So the question is, do you believe it? Still don’t believe it and find a reason yourself?
