A week passed quickly.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Li Hongyun entered the game world of "Dark Sand" on time.
After entering the "ingenious" trial illusion, Li Hongyun looked at the Forbidden City that he had mostly completed from the perspective of God, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.
I'm too strong!
During these seven days, Li Hongyun was obsessed with building blocks every day and couldn't extricate himself.
In fact, after passing the first stage and unlocking a higher-level blacksmith shop in the fiefdom, Li Hongyun could already start trying to rub a hand-made flintlock gun.
But at this time, he was more interested in clearing the ingenious trial world than his favorite flintlock gun.
Because this process is so interesting!
When Li Hongyun was building the Fengtian Temple before, he was still a little puzzled. Why were these pillars able to miraculously survive the strong earthquake without collapsing even though they did not go deep into the foundation?
With this doubt, Li Hongyun checked the information as soon as he went out.
Then I sighed, the wisdom of the ancients is really amazing!
The reason why the Forbidden City has been able to remain standing for hundreds of years without being destroyed by any earthquake is precisely because its own structure has excellent earthquake resistance.
And all this is thanks to Dou Gong.
The significance of Dougong is not only that all the wooden components are combined without any glue or nails, making it durable, but also has a very important significance in that it has strong shock-absorbing performance.
In ancient times, the biggest threats to such large wooden buildings were fire and earthquakes.
Although the bracket structure seems to be perfectly assembled, in fact its structure is loose but not loose.
There are actually some tiny gaps in these mortise-and-tenon structures. When an earthquake occurs, strong lateral and vertical vibrations will be broken down into lighter forces, which are evenly distributed on each component and passed through the gaps. consumed by collision and friction.
The pillars do not go deep into the foundation, which is the essence of the bracket structure.
If the posts go deep into the foundation, they will normally be very stable indeed. But once an earthquake strikes, the vibrations in the ground will be directly transmitted to the pillars. The strength of wooden materials is obviously not comparable to that of modern reinforced concrete. As long as the columns bear a large force, they will definitely crack and break.
On the contrary, if the pillars are not directly penetrated into the foundation, then when an earthquake comes, the pillars will not bear so much force, so the pillars will move horizontally, but avoid the fate of breaking.
The bracket structure absorbs vibrations, and the columns move slightly to avoid breaking. The entire building forms a system where softness overcomes rigidity, allowing the entire structure to survive the earthquake.
As for normal times, the heavy roof above the entire bracket structure holds the pillars firmly, so there is no danger of them collapsing in strong winds.
Moreover, the entire Forbidden City has a deep foundation and many layers of floor tiles, so there is almost no serious bulge or subsidence on the ground. This is also a very important reason.
In short, after Li Hongyun had an in-depth understanding of these contents, he couldn't help but admire the wisdom of ancient craftsmen.
In fact, he had visited the Forbidden City before, but he no longer had much memory of what happened at that time. I just remember that there were a lot of tourists at that time, and the palace in front of me was quite big, but compared with those modern high-rise buildings that are often hundreds of meters high, it didn't seem to be anything special.
But after he pieced together the entire Fengtian Temple and more than half of the Forbidden City with his own hands, he truly saw the many details of this marvelous building and truly admired the ancients for being able to build such a wonder.
So far, there are already top players on the Internet who can finish the entire Forbidden City in just one or two days.
These are all veteran players who have played similar block building or sandbox games before.
Li Hongyun estimated that he should be able to pass the level in three or four days.
But at this time, he still had to put this trial aside for the time being.
Because, a new trial fantasy has begun!
The name of this copy is "Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moon", and many players have speculated that this may be the exclusive copy of General Han Fuyue.
But there are also many players who hold different opinions. Because according to the official announcement, this trial illusion is actually two-in-one. It is the historical slice of General Han Fuyue and the core historical slice of the Qi Dynasty.
In this way, the scale of this dungeon will definitely exceed all previous dungeons, and there will definitely be multiple story lines.
In short, players have never encountered such a situation where two large dungeons merge into one, and they are all looking forward to the new gameplay that the design team has come up with this time.
Li Hongyun is naturally no exception, and he can't wait to enter this slice of history to find out.
…
A new trial illusion portal has appeared in the Orderer space.
On the platform where Qi Chao was, a brand new entrance to the trial fantasyland suddenly appeared.
Compared with the previous entrance, this entrance is larger in size, radiant and gorgeous. But if you look closely, you will find that there seems to be a lot of black energy inside the portal, which means that the power of demons in this historical slice will be far greater than before.
Li Hongyun didn't think too much and walked in directly.
After passing through the entrance, Li Hongyun found himself in a quite bustling and lively town.
This small city has four gates, divided into North and South Roads, East and West Divisions, and there are many temples. There is also a ferry next to the city, where business travelers gather and all kinds of goods are piled up.
In the city, various businesses, shops, and handicraft workshops are everywhere. The inns and brothels are brightly lit, and guests come and go all night long.
However, although this small town looks densely populated and very prosperous, in terms of scale, it is obvious that it cannot accommodate too many people. It is at best a transportation hub.
And Li Hongyun is on the top of this small town.
Looking into the distance, there is a Chi Road extending through the small town to the southwest and gradually widening. It was obviously one of the important official roads at that time. In the north of the small town, the Chi Road gradually divided into two, one heading northeast and one heading northwest.
From time to time, fast horses came from afar and entered the inn outside the city. There was no time to stop, so they put on fast horses and galloped toward the southwest again.
When Li Hongyun was still wondering where this was, several artistic calligraphy written in Qi Chao font had already appeared in his field of vision.
"Cenqiao Station in the seventh year of Chonghe."
These seven short words conveyed a lot of information to Li Hongyun in an instant.
"The seventh year of Chonghe?
"Doesn't that mean that it will be Jingping's shame soon?"
As a student of the history department, Li Hongyun is not as academic as Chu Ge, but he still knows a lot of basic historical knowledge.
Chonghe was the reign name of Qi Huizong, the emperor of Qi Dynasty at that time.
He and his son Qi Yingzong can be said to be a pair of living treasures. Together they overcame all difficulties and completed the Jingping Shame, the ugliest national humiliation event in China for five thousand years. It can be said that as long as one of these two people has a normal mind, this Nothing will happen at all.
The temple name "Hui" means incompetent governance and ruined country, while the posthumous title "Ying" means overt praise and covert derogation, mostly referring to an emperor who has entrepreneurial aspirations but no entrepreneurial ability.
In the seventh year of Chonghe, the Jin soldiers went south, and their front was directed at the main beam of the capital at that time.
Qi Huizong's first reaction was to run away, but after all, he was in the capital at this time, and he ran away before the fight started, which was a bit unreasonable. But Qi Huizong had a firm belief in escaping. He thought clearly: I can still run before the Jin soldiers arrive. If the Jin soldiers arrive and surround the city, can I still run if I want to?
But at this time, all the officials in the court were staring at him, so Qi Huizong thought of a way to let his son guard Daliang City in the name of the prince supervising the country, while he escaped.
But many important ministers at the time expressed opposition, meaning that you are fooling people here?
Throw the prince into prison and run away on your own. Who can't see what you want to do? The Jin soldiers are so rampant that just giving a prince the title of supervising the country is not enough to inspire people to resist the Jin soldiers. If you want to run away, just pass the throne directly. After the throne is passed, you will be the Supreme Emperor and can run wherever you want. When the time comes, your son will become the emperor, and it will be legitimate for him to guard the capital.
At that time, Qi Huizong was eager to run away. He felt that as long as he could run away, everything else would be easy, so he became a Zen monk.
After Qi Yingzong ascended the throne, he changed the name of the country to Jingping, which originally meant well-being and peace. As a result, the name Jingping only lasted two years, but it became the biggest shame for the whole of China for five thousand years.
As for the place where Li Hongyun is, it is Cenqiaoyi.
There is a ferry here near the Yellow River. There was a small bridge passing by a tributary of the Yellow River. It was in disrepair for a long time. A wealthy family named Cen funded the construction, so this small bridge was also called Cen Bridge.
Later, a post station was set up here, which was Cenqiao Post Station.
Cenqiaoyi itself was a strategic location connecting Daliang, the capital at that time, and the north. It was here that Emperor Taizu of the Qi Dynasty successfully launched a mutiny to usurp the throne, so it can also be regarded as the place of Longxing in the Qi Dynasty.
Cenqiao Station is located forty miles northeast of Daliang, the capital. Generally speaking, if the enemy has reached Cenqiao Station, it means that the capital is already in danger.
Li Hongyun silently analyzed the information and had some guesses about the contents of this copy.
"At this time and place, could it be said that this dungeon will use the historical event of Jingping's Shame as the main challenge?
"Well, this is also possible. After all, this is the biggest humiliating event in the entire Qi Dynasty, and there are many famous historical figures who appeared in this event.
"At that time, General Han Fuyue was only twenty-three years old. His ancestors had been farmers for generations. Although he had been drafted into the army three years ago, he was still just a soldier at this time and had basically no influence on the war on the front line. At most, after seeing the brutality of the Jin soldiers going south, they established their ambition to go north to fight against the Jin and regain the lost territory.
“So what is the player’s goal to win?
"Prevent Jingping's shame from happening? Or connect all the heroes that can be summoned at the time and break into the Jinren's Huanglong Mansion?
"After all, the meaning of 'Eight Thousand Miles of Road Yunheyue' is to regain all the lost ground."
Li Hongyun made a rough guess, but after all, this is a very large historical slice. Without relevant prompts in the game, it is indeed difficult to guess the specific clearance goal.
After sorting out all the background of this trial fantasy, Li Hongyun looked at the identity card in front of him.
What surprised him was that the identity cards this time actually corresponded to the four basic identities of the player!
The first identity card is [Martial Soldier], but the martial soldiers here are obviously the soldiers at the grassroots level of the Qi Army. He is not an elite wearing infantry armor and holding a divine arm bow, but an ordinary spearman with good or bad equipment.
The second identity card is [Assassin], dressed like a Green Forester. He looks unattractive, but he carries a sharp blade and has a fierce glint in his eyes.
The third identity card is [Ranger], also dressed like a Green Forester, but wearing some lighter armor, holding a long knife in his hand, and a look of worry and anger on his face.
The fourth identity card is [Scribe]. He is wearing the official uniform of the Qi Dynasty, but he does not seem to be a particularly high-ranking official. He may be able to attend court meetings and meet the emperor, but it can play a decisive role in the entire situation. role? That's probably too much thinking.
“In this trial illusion, the initial status is very low.
“I wonder if after playing these identities for a period of time, I can unlock more and higher identities.
"It would be easy if I could play the role of the emperor. I would directly and fully support Li Boxi, the prime minister of the main battle at that time, and Zhong Pingyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Western Army at that time, let them be fully responsible for the defense of the entire capital, and then turn General Han Fuyue from a small soldier Direct promotion allowed him to grow rapidly. With the national strength of the Qi Dynasty during the Jingping Incident, even if it could not defeat the Jin Kingdom at that time, it would be enough to pin the Jin Kingdom to the ground in two or three years.
"It's a pity that I can't change it."
Li Hongyun sighed silently. In fact, among many time-traveling movies, the two cheating emperors of the Qi Dynasty were popular choices.
Everyone agreed that at that time, let alone the top founding kings like Sheng Taizu and Liang Taizong, even if it was replaced by an ordinary Shucheng king, as long as he did not have a serious brain disease, the disgrace of Jingping would not have happened.
But it happened that the Qi Dynasty produced three unlucky kings who ranked high in history at this critical node. How can this be justified?
"Which identity should I choose?"
Li Hongyun glanced at these four identity cards and found that he could choose at will.
In other words, the identity of the player does not necessarily correspond to the identity in the dungeon. Assassin players can play the scribe's line, and scribe players can also play the warrior's line.
As long as you have the ability to get through.
Li Hongyun was in a tangle.
Because his profession is an assassin, but in fact he doesn't have many assassination skills. As for fighting, I should be able to fight a dozen copies of warrior soldiers, or relying on my own historical knowledge, it seems that it is okay to take the line of scribes.
All three identities can be played, but none of the three identities are specialized.
“Then let’s use elimination.
"The scribe seems to be an official, but not a high-ranking official. Such ordinary officials must appear in the capital city, and it should be difficult for them to play a big role.
"After all, the current emperor is a fool. If you try to give him advice, you will definitely be labeled as a militant.
"Assisting Prime Minister Li Boxi, who was the main warlord at the time, and coordinating some people to defend the city, it seems that it can play a certain role, but it will inevitably be hampered frequently.
"As for the identity of the soldier, he must be an ordinary soldier. He may be able to get a chance to fight the Jin soldiers, but at this time the morale of the Jin soldiers is at its peak, and the Qi army is in a state of being broken at a touch.
"Even if he were reincarnated into the Western Army, which has the strongest combat effectiveness, it would probably end in a crushing defeat.
“Even a fierce man like General Han Fuyue can’t play a big role at this stage, let alone me.
"Of course, if you choose the status of a soldier, you may encounter General Han Fuyue by chance and hug him in advance. But in general, the status of a scribe and a soldier are quite involuntary.
"After all, in that magical period, wanting to fight against the Jinren without any worries was a luxury in itself.
"Looking at it this way, the prototype seems to be the Green Forester's identity as an assassin and ranger, and he seems to be subject to fewer restrictions.
"In that case, let's check out the identity of the assassin first."
Li Hongyun made up his mind and tapped on the assassin's identity card.
Immediately afterwards, talent skill cards appeared in front of him.
[Xin·Archery Mastery (White): Your archery skills will be improved accordingly. 】
[Xin·Aggressive (Blue): You will exude an oppressive aura, making it easier for enemies to fear you. 】
[Geng·Act in a low profile (blue): You act in a low profile and it is not easy to attract the attention of others. 】
Li Hongyun glanced at the three talent cards and shook his head slightly helplessly.
There are no golden talents, and there are no talents that look particularly useful.
If you want to improve your combat power, you may only be able to master archery. But considering that the assassin's identity is mostly to assassinate, keeping a low profile seems to be useful.
Li Hongyun thought about it and finally decided to become proficient in archery.
Although it is only a white talent, if you add his luck, it may be able to produce good results.
Moreover, the archery skills here include both bows and crossbows. If he can find a way to get a divine arm bow in the dungeon, maybe his assassination operation will be smoother.
After choosing his talent, Li Hongyun's eyes were filled with mist, and the trial was about to officially begin.
But what he didn't expect was that before the official start, a line of system prompts appeared in front of him.
[In the current trial fantasy, other players playing other identities may randomly appear. 】
"Oh? Other players may appear? And they appear randomly?
"I didn't say how many will appear, nor did I say there will definitely be. It's quite random..."
Of course Li Hongyun has encountered situations like this where multiple people attack the same dungeon before, but they are different from this time.
In the multi-player dungeon of the Ultimate Trial, the candidates are determined from the beginning, and the role each person will play after entering is assigned; in the dungeon of Sheng Taizu, four people play different historical stages, and they only have indirect influence on each other. , no direct impact.
But this time, you may be matched with other players in the initial simulation trial stage, and the other players may be of any identity, and players need to confirm each other.
Of course, it’s okay not to look for other players and just play each other’s way, but if you can really find a player and the two of them work closely together and perform their duties, it will definitely become easier to pass the level.
Li Hongyun still doesn't know how both sides can exist in the same trial illusion at the same time. After all, if one of the players fails and dies, he will have to start all over again, so will the other players also have to start all over again? Or is it that everyone has different progress, but it will intersect and have an impact at certain specific times? Is it possible that every time a player dies and restarts, he will be matched with a different player?
Li Hongyun couldn't imagine it for the time being.
So, he didn't think any more and officially started to conquer this trial fantasy land.
