Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 6558 Breaking the situation
Li You's way of solving the problem was very rough. Because there were too many locusts and they were flying around randomly, and there was no leader at all, so there were all kinds of small groups. But what if there was a leader? If there was a leader leading them, then the problem of flying around randomly would be solved.

Not to mention that such a leader can control hundreds of billions of locusts to die together, if we think about the problem seriously, the leader of this locust can at least lead the locust army to rush to other places where there is food.

With Li You's personality, he probably doesn't care who the locusts harm as long as they don't reach the Han Dynasty.

As for one leader not being enough, then we can have a whole team. If one team is not enough, we can continue to add more and create a Insect King for the locusts. In this way, under the leadership of the Insect King, Insect King, and Insect X, the locusts can be dealt with as a whole. Moreover, as long as the operating level is high enough, the Insect King can directly prevent the locusts from flying out of Africa.

"The problem is that the locust swarm has no leader." Chen Xi said helplessly.

If there was a leader, there would be no need to do this. The Romans could just carry out the beheading. Compared to the Zerg in science fiction novels, which have intelligent creatures like the Zerg Queen, locusts are really powerful because they have no leader, no intelligence, but only invincible numbers.

At least in science fiction novels, in the war between humans and Zerg, there is a plan to behead the Zerg queen. If there is no such plan, and there are only trillions of Zerg falling from outer space, which one do you think is more deadly? In the former, you can win directly by killing the queen, but in the latter, you can just kill them one by one.

Considering that locusts can basically be assumed to have no brains and can only eat, reproduce and wait to die, once the number of these creatures increases, there is absolutely no solution.

After all, if intelligent creatures want to fight against something fearlessly, they still have to follow some basic rules. Even in the mythological era, they have to have the talent of fearlessness. But when the number of locusts rises to the level of natural disasters, each locust is fearless. Natural enemies? They don’t exist!

"Then let's create a leader." Li You said calmly.

Liu Bei was basically the type of person who didn't listen carefully when the great scholars were debating, and he took things out of context and only chose the parts that were valuable to him, while Li You couldn't just say that he didn't believe it.

They originally thought that Chen Xi was teasing them, but later they found that something was not right, especially in the Amu Darya River, which was properly transliterated as Guishui in the Han Dynasty. Some strange things were dug out, which were simply oracle bone seals.

"Your Highness, haven't you noticed yet that the Romans look a lot like us?" Guo Jia asked back tiredly. Liu Tong was silent for a while after hearing this, and recalled that the Roman ambassador who celebrated her New Year every year did look more like one of their own.

After all, this seal is a real ancient artifact, and in this era it can even prove the legitimacy. At the very least, the legitimate descendants of the country can accumulate a lot of merits through hard work, and then build a small country in this place. Even if the Chen family is unhappy, they can only accept this situation with a pinch of their nose.

To the extent that Li You has now started to consider other plans. If there is a chance of cultural victory, it is at least a victory. Turning the other party into one's own people is also an idea.

Considering that some rather strange cultural relics were indeed unearthed, proving that some of the brothers of the Shang Dynasty did migrate westward during the early Shang Dynasty, and that the historical materials of the major families were relatively well preserved these days and could be verified with each other, some things were made up, causing Li You to be unable to figure out the situation.

At that time, the patriarch of the Chen family heard that the Amu Darya River was also called Guishui, and that they were descendants of the Chen family with the surname Gui. What else could they say? Of course they chose this fiefdom. It had water and mountains, which was easy to develop. Moreover, it was backed by the mountain city of Bactria, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was simply wonderful.

"Yes, the technology that the Roman Empire is advancing, we also need to advance. We should not have the intention to harm others, but those who are not of our race must have different intentions!" Li You's voice was sonorous and powerful, shocking. At the national level, don't say that we should not have the intention to harm others. My fleet, nuclear bombs, intercontinental and other things with no output are built to deal with what. Don't you have any idea?
"Wait, isn't Rome the brother who ran over when we were negotiating first?" Liu Bei looked at Li You and asked with some confusion.

"If we have no involvement in what the Roman Empire did, that would be a big problem." Chen Xi waved his hand without any extra thoughts on Li You's words. When putting the blame on Rome, Chen Xi considered whether the Kushan and Han dynasties were involved.

After they took it over, they started construction, and then they dug out some things from their ancestors. When they dug them out, some great scholars thought it was a joke. Chen Ji used the Chen family's reputation as a guarantee, and then a group of great scholars ran over to watch, and they also recognized the words on the seal, seal.

Ever since this thing was dug out, the great scholar had some grumbles about Chen Xi's joking debate. In addition, Rome really had black hair and black eyes, so the great scholar could not help but grumble. After grumbling for a long time, many people have begun to accept that the Romans and the Central Plains people are from the same branch, just like the Han people and the Qiang people, both are Central Plains people, but with different ancestors.

Li You was silent for a while, not knowing how to explain. It was a hassle that he was deceived in the end after forging things, and it was not easy for Li You to directly deny this officially.

This is very embarrassing. If future generations still have to think about whether this vassal state existed, many old guys these days know very well that this country really existed, but was destroyed by the Qin Dynasty. Considering that countries in ancient times would migrate back and forth, and the Amu Darya River is also called Guishui, this group of people have to think about a question, is Chen Zichuan kidding everyone, or is he serious.

The Chen family thought about it at that time and decided to take advantage of a good omen and get a complete mountain city for free. After all, the Bactrian mountain city was once the capital of Daxia. Even in the Kushan era, it was one of the only four core cities in the north. With the Guishui River next to it, it could be said that the benefits were maximized. So the Chen family acted decisively and took over this place.

After all, the strength of the Roman Empire was there, and even a wise man with iron faith like Li You felt that military victory was too difficult. Even if Rome could not defeat it, as long as it maintained the outer defense line formed by the Black Sea-Caspian Sea-Zagros Mountains, there would be no good way for the Han Dynasty to win.

"Ah, the Roman Empire is our brother?" Liu Tong was stunned by Liu Bei's answer. She had not received any knowledge in this area. Although she had heard of such jokes, it was too much to talk about such jokes in such a high-level meeting.

First of all, it goes without saying that oracle bone inscriptions were the mainstream of the Central Plains people in the pre-Shang Dynasty, and seals were basically something that the Central Plains people loved to use since ancient times.

In other words, some ancient stone tools were dug up on the road from Liangzhou to Xinzhou, then to Central Asia, and then to Rome. Moreover, the shape and configuration of the stone tools can indeed correspond to those in the Central Plains. So much so that in the early days Chen Xi was just exaggerating, and the great scholars scoffed at it. But with the current research, some things really confuse the great scholars.

Fa Zheng took a deep breath when he heard this. "Could it be possible that the Han Dynasty is also involved in the swarming of African desert locusts? Master Li, don't scare me."

In those days, the global temperature had not yet dropped to the levels of later generations, and the areas along the Amu Darya River were still large tracts of fertile farmland that could be developed. Of course, people could also farm along the Amu Darya River in later generations, but relatively speaking, the area that could be developed in those days was much larger than before.

In fact, they are not very similar, but the people of the world are quite different these days. Apart from the Xiongnu themselves, the only ones who look similar to the Han people are most of the Roman citizens. The other Hu people either have hair color or eye color that are different from the current black-haired and black-eyed people in the Central Plains. Even the Dayuezhi are not as close to the Central Plains people as the Romans in hair color and eye color.

Human observation relies more on these most obvious parts, so much so that after comparing Roman citizens with other Hu people, the Han Dynasty found that they were indeed very similar to Han people. There was no way around it. In this environment, slight differences in skin color and face shape were no longer a problem under the offset of hair color and eye color. Besides, great scholars would use their imaginations and debate.

In fact, even now, some Roman citizens themselves believe this, especially some of the weirdos who ran nearly 20,000 kilometers from Rome to the Han Dynasty to make a living. Many believe this. Even if the Han Dynasty treats Roman citizens the same as Han people in the spirit of returning a favor, Roman citizens pull Han people to show that their ancestors are brothers, so when they make a living, they can get more. "Ah, I understand the big picture better now." Liu Tong said very seriously. The Han family is a group of troublemakers, and Rome is also a Han family group. That's it. We are all insects. No wonder they are so good at fighting and so good at messing around. It's so right!
"Let's get back to the topic. Locusts have no leader. How do you plan to find a leader for them? Moreover, there are 400 billion locusts. Even if the leader can lead 100 million locusts, you still have to find 4,000 leaders. This is not an easy task." Chen Xi said with some fatigue.

Although Li You did not say what to do after the Insect King was created, Chen Xi thought that with Li You's maliciousness, all the locusts that originally headed north would rush to Nangui. However, thinking that it would be better for me to die than for my fellow Taoist to die, if it really worked, Chen Xi would just pretend that he had not attended the meeting and that it was all Li You's fault. Then he would hold more water and land conferences in Nangui and recite some sutras.

"Locust sky." Li You raised his index finger and said concisely.

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then he broke out in a cold sweat. "Wenru, are you crazy? Do you think the current difficulty is not great enough?"

Although Chen Xi was shouting "Locust Sky, Locust Sky", Chen Xi was not really prepared to create such an outrageous thing as Locust Sky. He just thought that the locust plague was super outrageous, so he shouted that. It turned out that he was just joking, but Li You actually did it!

"Zichuan, what are you and Wenru talking about?" Liu Bei looked at Li You who had a calm expression and Chen Xi who looked flustered, and asked in confusion.

"Master Li is planning to create the Locust Sky." Fa Zheng pressed his temple and said, "Although we have indeed played big in the past few years, and the activities have been a bit excessive, I think there is no need to increase the difficulty. We are just talking about the Locust Sky, there is no need to play it for real. If we really want to create the Locust Sky, I think we will not be able to contain it. We really can't contain it."

Chen Xi and others said that locust sky, locust lord, locust army and so on were all nonsense and did not take them seriously. However, Li You was obviously really prepared to show his strength and give the locust plague an entire collective will. If Li You could produce this number, it would at least require the strength of an empire's will.

"There is no other way to solve the problem. If the entire locust sky comes out, it may have a miraculous effect." Li You sneered and said, "Hundreds of billions of locusts, in terms of scale, as long as a collective will is unified, in terms of volume, it is definitely not inferior to the imperial will."

Chen Xi's face remained expressionless when he heard this. There were other creatures in the world that were more numerous than locusts, but apart from humans, there was no other species that could unify a collective will. Chen Xi didn't even dare to imagine what outrageous situations would arise if locusts had a collective will.

Just thinking about it, elite talents are the manifestation of collective will relying on the clouds in the essence of heaven and earth. Such a huge will, as well as the terrifying clouds born from the locusts themselves, should be able to pile up elite talents. Chen Xi felt his scalp tingling.

"I'm voting no." Liu Ye said directly, "It's not that I think Wenru's judgment is wrong, but I think your judgment is correct. It's because it's correct that it's too dangerous."

Zhuge Liang sat in the minister's seat without saying a word. In fact, he did not agree with Li You's proposal. He even said at the beginning that the following solutions were too dangerous and even a little too extreme.

"Me too. I think it's too dangerous. If we really create a collective will as big as the will of an empire, will that allow the locusts to develop talents? Based on our current experience, that will definitely happen." Man Chong also voted in advance with a somewhat gloomy look on his face.

"Zichuan, Xiaozhi, Fengxiao, what are your opinions?" Li You looked at the other three. Since Zhuge Liang had expressed his disagreement before, it meant that there were now three people who directly opposed it. Considering that Liu Bei and Liu Tong usually followed the crowd in making decisions on such matters, the remaining three people were the key to whether this issue would be passed.

"Unless you can provide me with key information to convince me to agree, I will not agree. I will not gamble on the power of the collective will generated by hundreds of billions of locusts. The supermodel cloud formed by hundreds of billions of locusts is troublesome enough. If there is another thing the size of an empire's will, this will really be treated as an empire war." Chen Xi said with his hands crossed and a serious expression.

"Zichuan and I agree. Wenru, I just hope this matter can be resolved smoothly and I don't want any trouble." Liu Bei spoke before Fa Zheng and Guo Jia could speak. The locust plague was a big problem, so they gathered together to solve the problem. The plan Li You came up with was too scary in Liu Bei's opinion. In his opinion, there was no need to do so unless it was absolutely necessary.

"This kind of collective will is not easy to create. The cost is also something that must be considered, not to mention that the danger is too great." Liu Tong looked at Li You and asked. At this time, she had already started the thread-pulling game and began to gather Li You's wisdom for analysis.

"I can create intelligent locusts and insect kings. The Han Empire has this ability and has already verified it." Li You replied with his eyebrows lowered.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but look at Guo Jia and Fa Zheng. The three of them fell silent, and then looked at the one-foot-long super locust almost at the same time. After their eyes met, they naturally slid away. They had already figured out what this experiment was.

When Li You conducted the verification with more than 70,000 voles, only three survived, which means the survival rate was less than one in ten thousand. Now the question is, given that their body size is similar to that of voles, the survival rate is close to one in ten thousand. How difficult is it for Li You to pile up thousands of intelligent locusts?

It is not difficult. The result can be achieved by killing tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of locusts. And given the current scale of the locust plague, the death of so many locusts is not a problem at all.

"The golden thread of wisdom that opens the demon master's mind." Chen Xi pressed his temple and already understood how Li You did it. Now that he has wisdom, it will be possible for him to create those things.

"Then what?" Fa Zheng's expression became extremely solemn. With wisdom, everything that happened before would be possible, but on the other hand, the danger was also rising rapidly.

"The poison of will, or the poison of knowledge." Li You raised his index finger and said with a grim expression.

"I know about the poison of will, but what is the poison of knowledge?" Chen Xi looked at Li You in surprise. Was he infected by the Cthulhu system? Even the poison of knowledge came out?

"After devouring the Nordic alien, a corresponding talent will be formed according to the amount devoured." Li You explained simply. What you are worried about is actually the huge amount of will combined in the essence of heaven and earth to form talent. So what if the talent is predetermined from the beginning?
"The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, with their advanced wills twisted and a huge amount of will accumulated, have gained extremely strong defense, but their movement speed has dropped significantly." Li You laid out everything, "This is the poison of knowledge, the poison of inheritance, and the poison of talent. We can't defeat a locust plague of this scale, but why should we defeat it? We just need to wait for the locust plague to die out on its own."

"Theoretically, if the locusts have a top-to-bottom structure from the beginning, and the IQ of the locusts that have swallowed the golden thread of wisdom is not high, after forming the locust will, they may take the route of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. In this case, if there is a formed template, that is, a group of locusts have taken the route of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, then there is a high probability that hundreds of billions of locusts will take this route." Li You explained very seriously, "The route of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry at least cuts the flying speed of the locusts in half."

The locust plague was not resolved and was even intensified, but since the locusts could not fly to the Han Dynasty, it was as good as nothing.

It's the end of the month, vote if you have a ticket, there will be new ones in May anyway
