girl, you're wrong

Chapter 132 The origin of the demon and the cataclysm
Opening the door, it turned out to be Xiao Yun, the housekeeper, showing him a standard business smile.

Cheng Jinyang moved out of the way, and Xiaoyun came in briskly, and picked up the broom and dustpan from the balcony.

"The living room is a bit dirty today, it needs to be cleaned well." It began to clean the floor tiles in the living room, and said in a clear voice.

"Really, then I will trouble you." Cheng Jinyang responded casually.

"It's the same in this world." Xiaoyun still lowered her head, and the lights on her temples flickered on and on. "If a dynasty rules for too long, the upper class will easily become corrupted. It's easy to be a dog, and a nest of snakes and rats. If cleaned properly, it will only become less and less suitable for human life."

Cheng Jinyang: ? ? ?

Ah, this... the housekeeping robot was hacked?
"Looking at your surprised look, it seems that the family and the royal princess have never told you anything." Xiaoyun, the housekeeping robot, continued to sweep the floor, and said calmly, "Why did the Central Plains of China fall, and why did the Sima family become the enemies of the gentry? Don't you know all this?"

Cheng Jinyang was silent for a moment, then said:

"Appreciate further details."

"Hehe." Seeing that he didn't resist, the mastermind behind the hacking into the synthetic man chuckled, "It all started with Emperor Xuan."

"Sima Zhongda, an unrivaled hero who is hard to come by in all ages, is superb in both literature and martial arts. However, in his later years, he also made the same mistake as the first emperor, that is, to pursue longevity."

"Under the emperor's auspices, mechanical transformation and genetic technology are two ways in parallel, and the whole country is invested in research and development. The former uses mechanical parts to replace aging physical organs, while the latter uses cloning technology... no matter what Both routes are essentially trying to delay aging, or even defeat death."

Cheng Jinyang listened quietly, thinking that it’s no wonder that the technology line of this world is ridiculously high. It turned out that the predecessors of the traversers had launched a cold war project, but the enemy of the cold war was not another superpower, but the aging and death of human beings themselves.

"The more he reaches his old age, the more brutal the emperor's temper. On the one hand, he can clearly feel his own aging. On the other hand, the level of science and technology has risen too fast, so that he frequently has the illusion that the next technological breakthrough will achieve immortality. Therefore, The whole empire is like a steam train running at full speed, and the mad emperor sits in the boiler room and keeps pumping more coal into the boiler."

"Then, he failed?" Cheng Jinyang asked in a deep voice.

"It failed." The synthetic man said easily, "Even now, he has not been able to achieve immortality, which is enough to show that this technological node is actually much higher than Sima Zhongda expected."

"But what we want to talk about is not this, but the aristocratic family."

"In Sima Zhongda's time, the aristocratic family didn't have supernatural bloodlines, they were just oligarchs who monopolized resources and contacts in various places. The emperor hated this kind of monopoly, so since he seized power and came to power, he has been suppressing the aristocratic family and supporting the poor. .”

"This policy has also been implemented by every emperor since him, that is, more and more radical centralization reforms. Most of the time, the imperial power won, until the emergence of the supernatural blood, allowing the family to obtain for the first time the The power that power grabs."

"Wait, how did the supernatural bloodline appear?" Cheng Jinyang interrupted it.

"It stems from Sima Zhongda's crazy behavior before he was about to die, but that's another story." The rise and growth of the family of supernatural powers has adopted a plan to draw fire from the bottom of the pot—trying to implant the blood of the family of supernatural powers into civilians."

"The bloodline implanted in this top-secret experiment is the 'body activation' of the Li family in Longxi, because this bloodline is a rare ability that does not require an algorithm to take effect passively, so it can be easily verified after transplantation. At the beginning of the experiment It seemed to be very successful, but within a few months it turned into a catastrophe."

Having said that, the other party deliberately paused.

"I guess the experimental subject leaked?" Cheng Jinyang asked tentatively.

"No." The other party denied, "This top-secret experiment has been carried out for three phases, and the supernatural traits are very obvious on the test subjects. So that idiot Sima Zhengdu thought he was right, and concealed it from everyone in the Emperor's Guards. large-scale inoculation and transplantation."

"Then the mutation broke out. A few weeks later, the vast majority of the imperial guards had tissue mutations in different parts, and then a large-scale cell collapse and died. Only one female soldier survived, but the body was also damaged. They mutated beyond recognition, and lost their rationality as human beings...they are the embryonic form of the first generation of demons."

So the goblin was originally created by the royal family?Cheng Jinyang clicked his tongue.

"That is to say." The other party continued, "Sima Zhengdu used the power of the emperor to arrange all this secretly, but everyone was kept in the dark. It was not until the cataclysm of demons broke out completely that the gentry did not rely on their own knowledge. The fragmented information restored the outline of the events before the cataclysm—this is why the royal family is cast aside by all the gentry today."

Cheng Jinyang was silent.

He knew that the reason why the other party told him these historical secrets was to incite his hostility and resentment towards the royal family.However, what the other party didn't know was that he had no feelings for the Sima royal family itself.

I like the princess sister!Sister Princess has nothing to do with that idiot emperor, so you chose the wrong person to provoke me.

"I know what you're thinking." The other party seemed to see through his thoughts, and continued, "Come with me."

"Where are you going?" Cheng Jinyang immediately became vigilant.Trying to lure me somewhere else and then ambush me?

"Bathroom." The other party said, "This synthetic has finished cleaning the living room. According to the program route setting, it will go to clean the bathroom next."

Cheng Jinyang: ? ? ?

So you just hacked the robot's voice program?Could you please be more professional?

"Of course I can completely control this synthetic man." The other party walked into the bathroom and continued, "But this will inevitably leave a record inside this synthetic man, which will attract the attention of the housekeeping company... You don't want to be caught in the open I found out that there is a connection with Wuchang."

"Yeah, go ahead." Cheng Jinyang said standing at the door of the bathroom.

So Xiaoyun washed the rag and began to wipe the bathtub while saying:
"We will not pursue the matter of the demons. After all, the fall of China is a fact. Sima Zhengdu has already died in the catastrophe. It is useless to dig him out and flog his corpse."

"The first question we need to discuss is why the world has become like this. What do you think is the reason, Cheng Jinyang?"

"I don't know." Cheng Jinyang replied.

Of course he wasn't stupid enough to answer "imperial power". If this was recorded by the other party and used as a way to blackmail him later, wouldn't he be an idiot?
"It's imperial power." The other party gave the answer, "The development of science and technology has strengthened the concentration of power. In the era of Sima Zhengdu, even the prime ministers were just the emperor's tools, so the emperor could hide it from the world. Create monsters."

Cheng Jinyang was noncommittal.

In fact, those who have studied history basically know that the final collapse of most dynasties is basically due to the endogenous crisis that cannot be resolved, and these problems are basically accumulated for several generations. It is not enough to simply blame the last emperor. wise.

Of course, the emperor is not completely irresponsible, it can only be said that he did not do his job well in his position.

But if what the other party said is true, then the entire Great Jin Kingdom suddenly fell to the bottom from its peak, and it was basically Sima Zhengdu's fault alone.

To put it bluntly, it is the spread of large-scale experimental accidents. How can this thing be cleaned?It must be who is responsible and who is responsible!
