"So, the rocket they fired was the starting gun?"
Phaethon thought for a while and nodded slightly: "I think so. Although the best case scenario is that they successfully launched and announced their existence with that salute. But the current situation can be regarded as another level. It has been announced: Colombia is about to start exerting force."
"It doesn't matter if they use their strength. It's good to add fuel to the development of the world. What I'm afraid of is that they won't just use their strength - they will probably go crazy."
The court's attitude towards Colombia was very clear, that is, the court did not look at them separately from Rome at all. Until the two sides formally make some form of "break", the court will not care about them.
And if a civil war breaks out between East and West Rome, then the relationship between the World Island and the New World will be redefined. Judging from the current situation, the Colombian side seems to want to continue to maintain the current relationship, including the last speech of Gaius Pompey Magnus, which the cabinet also decided to broadcast. This at least shows that the court identifies with Colombia to some extent.
But that’s exerting force. The imperial court didn't mind too much that there was another driving force in the world. There was already an agreement on technology exchange between the imperial court and Rome. But epilepsy is another story.
"I think Colombia may have to re-learn what science and technology ethics is." Shangluo raised his head, "The Muse Palace can't control them now. But as neighbors, I think we need to have some discussions on neighborly relations. Well, let's talk about it later. I'm going to ask if the cabinet is doing anything about it."
"What if your cabinet isn't doing it?"
"What the cabinet cannot do, Lei Bu will do. What the cabinet cannot handle, Lei Bu will take care of."
【good! Kill first and then play, Daojun has given permission. 】
"."
"Did she say something?"
"Is there any way to hit her on the head? Oh, by the way, I also have a hammer specially used to hit her."
【Ah ah ah! ! ! 】
"Oh, forget it." Phaethon held his hand, "She is about to celebrate her birthday, please let her go for now."
[Woo~~Big red flower, give you a big red flower! Or do you know that you feel sorry for your aunt? 】
"Okay. I won't take out the hammer. However, I still want to try the automaton technology. The magic in Eastern Rome is too earthly, and the competition is a matter of the earthly world, so it is not very useful. Maybe the automaton can Help me."
"Are you sure? I think there may be some power issues."
"Then do you know what determines power?"
"I don't know." Phaethon shook his head, "After all, this is not our initiative."
"Then why not give it a try. 'Vulkan Core' is the name, right? I'm going to see if I can get a Vulkan Core. Since it is a degraded version of the divine machine, then eh?"
Shangluo suddenly thought for a moment: "How do you think those Vulcan cores were instilled in You Guang?"
"Use lightning. Specifically, it's because lightning contains power from the 'upper world'. The so-called 'light from the sky' means lightning is the momentary light that connects the heaven and the earth. Just like your Qi practitioners who have cultivated to a certain level, It will also cause thunder and lightning. Thunder and lightning come from above."
"Then can I just pour the Tianyi nobles into it? It's not like I'm pouring them in. I'll just let them use the technique of sending the staff and live in it directly. If there are no additional restrictions, they can come and go freely inside, and even function more effectively.”
"Huh???" Phaethon was stunned for a moment, "Is there still such an operation? This seems to be really possible."
"I think it's totally okay! Maybe your power is not good because the spirit instilled by lightning is too weak. Our noble Tianyi is very powerful!"
As he spoke, he clapped his hands twice, and the former teenager pulled himself out of the backpack and gave a thumbs up in the air.
"Wait. Maybe it can be done." Phaethon replied, "I use a lot of automatic servitors myself. According to my observation, all automatic servitors have very weak self-awareness and are not like heaven at all. Lord Yi has such a character. If the more powerful Lord Tianyi moves in, maybe we can make a compromise - and then we don't have to worry about the camp at all. How do you treat Lord Tianyi like this?"
"Just like a child from a relative's family." Shangluo replied, "Or, like a Taoist boy. Every deity must have several Taoist boys. Although they only do chores like burning alchemy furnaces for a while, Taoist boys can also achieve positive results. of."
"Then if you solve the ethical problem from the beginning, I think this may also save Colombia. But I still remind you that the Vulcan core cannot come out just by thinking about it. I'm afraid it will be bound together. You We may have to conduct experiments to know what kind of reaction there will be between the two, after all, there have never been any Tianyi nobles in Rome."
"Wait a minute." Shangluo took out his mobile phone, "Anyway, I have to go to Alexandria and try out a Vulcan core. I will go after the preliminaries, but before I go, I still want to make a phone call. .”
He dialed Zhu Xianfen's number.
"Vulcan core? I have it here." Zhu Xianxian replied.
"." Shangluo was a little surprised, but not that surprised. Zhu Xianfen always seems to be able to pull out all kinds of treasures, and it’s not surprising to find anything.
"So, where is it? Can I take a look?" he asked Zhu Xianfen.
"In the warehouse, there is a writing clock. My mother said it didn't look good and looked quite scary, so I kept it in the warehouse. That writing clock was given to me by Victoria's father when I was still the prince. Yes, it has been in the warehouse for several years. Do you want to use it? "
He consulted Phaethon.
"No problem. The core of Vulcan has changed very little over the years. Even the version from a few years ago can be used. Moreover, this is a national gift to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. It must have been carefully selected and its performance is certain. It's better than ordinary models. Hey, I think if you just take that one and use it, it might work."
"Okay." Shangluo nodded, "Then I'll go take a look tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, then I'll have someone help you look for it. You can just take it away when you get here. There's no use leaving it in the warehouse. Originally, national gifts can't be given away casually, but leaving them here won't be a loss to the country. As for Li’s position, I’ll just give it to you. Are you going to qualify for the competition tomorrow morning?”
"Yes."
"Come on, you will definitely have no problem passing the qualifying round. After all, Gao Shiyu gave you all the Jusu. Then I will wait for you to pick it up in the afternoon. See you later. I'll go find where the clockwork is. That clockwork It’s pretty good-looking, I always keep it with me.”
