Chapter 180: imperial capital
Chapter 180 Imperial Capital
The golden morning light illuminates the sky. At the end of the line of sight, a majestic black shadow slowly emerges from the horizon. The magnificent skyline spreads infinitely toward both sides. The colorful glazed tiles reflect the bright golden light under the rising sun. In the hazy colorful mist, it is as beautiful as a dream.
Standing on the bow of the boat facing the river wind, Zhao Yinshun looked at the exaggeratedly large super city from a distance, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little shock.
It’s not uncommon to see cities with tens of millions of people on earth, but this fantasy version of the super city really gives people a sense of absurdity and beauty.
It is different from the reinforced concrete forests that are exactly the same in modern cities. The buildings here look all kinds of strange, but one is random!
The exquisite pagoda with hundreds of floors is like a sword piercing the sky, and next to it is a single palace that is hundreds of meters high and covers an area of several thousand acres!
The former is comparable to the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, while the size of the latter is not prepared for humans at all, but more like the lair of those mythical creatures with body lengths of tens of meters and hundreds of meters!
As the distance gets closer, more and more normal-sized houses come into view, but against their backdrop, the super-buildings are even more majestic and majestic.
what is this?
Xiuxian punk?
Looking at the rapidly approaching magnificent city, Zhao Yinshun just raised an excited smile, and immediately noticed something wrong.
This scale... At least there are thousands of people, plus the cities, towns and villages you see along the way, the population of Zhili alone is probably hundreds of millions!
And the total population of the entire Damin Empire is only tens of millions?
Unscientific!
You must know that the area of Zhili can only be ranked in the bottom three among the thirty-six states of Damin. The largest [Zhuzhou] and [Hanzhou] can be divided into ten Zhili!
It’s just that these states are located in the frontiers, far away from the prosperous places in the Central Plains. They are either bitterly cold all year round, or with continuous wind and sand, or lack of water and little rain, or hot and dry, and many areas are not suitable for long-term survival.
But even so, there are always a few "oasis" suitable for survival in the vast area.
It is recorded in the history books that these scattered "oases" are all fertile places, and there are millions of households, tens of thousands of households!
This calculation contradicts the total population of the empire recorded recently...
Even if the empire declines, demons are rampant, and natural and man-made disasters continue, but from Lanzhou to Zhili, people everywhere are far from being unable to survive.
nodded his eyebrows, Zhao Yinshun seemed to think of something, and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
In the last years of the dynasty, besides the annexation of land, the biggest feature was that the population was hidden!
At this time, the huge cruise ship has entered the city. Along the river, the bustling streets spread around like a chessboard. The lively shouts are endless, and the whole city wakes up from the dark night, exuding infinite vitality.
It is no wonder that the Sanjing Grand Canal connecting the north and the south was built. Without the blessing of water transportation, the bottom-level transportation capacity of the feudal era would not be able to support the operation of such a huge super city.
If you only look at the prosperity of the imperial capital, you will only feel that the entire Damin Empire is burning with oil and flowers, and it is impossible to see that the people of other states and counties have been living more and more difficult.
"How about it, is it spectacular?"
A little white cat jumped on his shoulders and admired the magnificent super city with Zhao Yinshun.
"Senior sister, how big is the imperial capital?"
"It's about 300 miles from east to west and 400 miles from north to south, with Tianyuan in the center and the world!"
“…”
After a little conversion, Zhao Yinshun found that the area of the Damin imperial capital was nearly 30,000 square kilometers, nearly double the size of the previous imperial capital with a population of 20 million!
I'm afraid this is not the seventh ring, right?
pouted, the teenager looked around and found that the height of the building was increasing little by little.
This shows that the further you go, the higher the value of the land. When you reach the city center, you may be just as expensive as the previous life...
After walking down the river for more than an hour, a towering city wall gradually entered the line of sight. As the distance got closer, the magnificent high wall with a blue-black metallic luster came "rushing towards the face" with an infinite sense of oppression, giving people a sense of A heavy mountain of pressure, making people breathless.
hoo
Caressed his chest, Zhao Yinshun took a slow and deep breath, realizing that this pressure was not an illusion, but a real and unreal power!
Majestic, holy, vast, ruthless…
The stronger the individual, the more clearly he can feel the mighty force that suppresses all things. The extraordinary force that distorts reality seems to have retracted into the depths of the soul a little bit under the oppression of this force, and can no longer easily interfere with the operation of the law.
"Don't worry, this is the divine power of the [Emperor], just get used to it."
The kitten rubbed the boy's cheek and comforted softly.
Soon, approaching the foot of the city wall, looking at the perverted wall nearly 100 meters high, Zhao Yinshun's neck bent a little bit to ninety degrees, and he took a breath of cold air.
The city wall at the peak of the ancient Chinese infrastructure in the previous life was only about 20 meters high. Even so, in World War II, the artillery of ordinary caliber could not penetrate it!
And the city wall is not an ordinary building. Every time it is raised one meter, the construction difficulty increases geometrically.
For the specific case, you can refer to the Three Gorges Dam. That kind of gravity dam basically builds a solid mountain out!
The nuclear bomb is not easy to use!
The problem is that the total length of the dam of the Three Gorges is only more than 2,300 meters, and the city wall in front of you…
Looking around, looking at the blue-black "mountains" that spread to the end of the line of sight, Zhao Yinshun sighed and shook his head with emotion.
I can't read it, but I'm blown away!
The productivity of the extraordinary world is terrifying!
Fortunately, the scope of the city wall is only equivalent to the Second Ring Road at most. If all the land covering an area of 30,000 square kilometers is surrounded by this standard, it is really Zenith Technology!
Immediately afterwards, the Grand Canal turned a corner along the city wall, winding down like a moat.
Admiring the magnificent and majestic continuous city walls, Zhao Yinshun felt like an ant walking under the feet of a giant beast, with a wonderful freshness.
But soon, a new wonder came into view.
A river several kilometers wide "cuts off" the Grand Canal, and together with a converging river on the opposite side, it constitutes a magnificent spectacle of the intersection of three rivers.
"That's [Dachuan]. The northern section of the Grand Canal starts from [Youzhou] the accompanying capital [Xuanwujing], connects with [Dahe], and joins the imperial capital from north to south."
"The southern section starts from [咢zhou] with the capital [Suzakujing], hooks up to [Dajiang], and merges into the imperial capital from south to north, and here is their meeting point!"
stretched out his claws and pointed to the huge lake in front of him, which was formed by three rivers, and the kitten introduced it leisurely.
There will be another chapter later, but it should be very late. Don't wait, let's read it tomorrow.
