Chapter 0045, the eyes of mortals
Staring silently out of the window, Zhao Yinshun estimated the speed of the carriage and gradually gained a real sense of the vastness of the other world.
About 20 kilometers per hour. Based on driving 10 hours a day, it is 200 kilometers a day...
The horse pulling the cart looks like an extraordinary thing at first glance, and maybe even faster!
Conservative estimate: half a month, 3,000 kilometers!!
The Damin Straight Road is the original expressway, with relatively few twists and turns. Even if the errors in the route are removed, the straight-line distance between the two places is probably more than 2,500 kilometers!
Nodding his eyebrows, Zhao Yinshun suppressed the throbbing in his heart and recalled some data from his previous life.
If he remembered correctly, the total length of the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway is only more than 2,300 kilometers, which means that Lanzhou may be larger than the entire China in the previous life!!
How terrifying would the entire Damin Empire be?!
Even more frightening is how such a huge empire maintained its existence without disintegrating?
The Empire's Extreme Wall is not dependent on human willpower.
Limited by objective conditions such as communication, transportation and information processing, the ultimate territory of the empire generally does not exceed the distance of half a month of galloping horses.
Because once this distance is exceeded, it will take a month to go back and forth, and it will be difficult for the central government's dominance to be transmitted to the local areas in time.
If turmoil were to break out, the local governor had to wait for a month to receive instructions from the central government. By then, the day lilies were already cold!
The Mongol Empire, which was as powerful as it was at its peak, almost penetrated the entire Eurasian continent, but once it stopped, it was instantly shattered into a pot of dregs. This is why.
Only after the industrial revolution, human communication and transportation methods improved dramatically, and then the British Empire came into being that ruled the seven seas!
Britain's peak territory exceeds 30 million square kilometers, spread all over the world, and the sun never sets on its territory. It is the first empire in the history of mankind that truly never sets!
But even Daeyoung, who is so domineering and cool, is a scumbag compared to Daemin!
The area of Lanzhou alone may exceed 10 million, and the thirty-six states of Damin...
Just doing a rough calculation made Zhao Yinshun feel his scalp numb.
How big is this damn planet?
Why is its gravity constant similar to that of the Earth?
Why is it that in such a huge territory, the population is only a few hundred million?
The average population per square kilometer is single digits. According to earth standards, the entire Damin is an uninhabited land!
Various questions emerged in his mind, but no matter how Zhao Yinshun thought, he could not find a reasonable answer.
"What's wrong? I feel like you are very troubled."
As if aware of Zhao Yinshun's thoughts, Oakley Yani became interested, propped up her chin with one hand, and looked at him leisurely.
"It's nothing, it just feels like the distance is too far."
The doubts in his heart could not be expressed clearly. Zhao Yinshun shook his head and prepared to deal with it.
"Hahahaha, it's not that far away. I took a boat all the way from the land of Western Europe for more than two years without stopping day and night! Half a month's journey on the Damin Straight Road is nothing..."
"But a person's life is only a few decades. I am afraid that many people will not be able to leave the place where they were born throughout their lives."
Zhao Yinshun shook his head with emotion, and suddenly found Oakley Yani looking at him with a strange look.
"What's wrong?"
"Xiao Shunshun, you haven't changed your mentality yet."
"What's the meaning?"
"Our lifespan is very long. Unlike ordinary people, you can no longer look at the world through ordinary eyes."
Buzz~
The soft words were like a sharp sword piercing into the soul. Zhao Yinshun trembled all over, and a flash of enlightenment flashed in his mind.
Mortal eyes!
Mortal eyes!
All my questions are based on observing the world from a mortal perspective, so they appear to be full of contradictions and incomprehensible!
If I change my perspective and stand from the perspective of an extraordinary person...
In an instant, the world suddenly opened up, and the fog shrouding his eyes seemed to break through a gap, allowing him to peek into a brand new universe!
Phew~
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yinshun calmed down his excitement and smiled at Oakley Yani.
"I haven't awakened yet to take office, of course I'm just a mortal!"
"Here we go again, even if you haven't awakened, you are still not a mortal!"
Okriyani stared deeply into his eyes, her solemn gaze seeming to penetrate into her soul.
"Some people are born sacred, just like you and me, and are incompatible with this world..."
Zhao Yinshun: “…………”
After a long silence, Zhao Yinshun seemed to understand why Oakley Yani had been pestering him since the first day they met.
It is obvious that the strength, status, identity, and age between the two are very different, but in some core that outsiders cannot understand, they may have wonderful things in common!
In fact, Zhao Yinshun himself had similar feelings, otherwise he would not have allowed Oakley Yani's certain transgressive actions.
He instinctively sensed the purity deep in Okriyani's heart, and he had the same kind of transcendent mentality... a fun person!
"Woo..."
After finishing the dessert, Oakley Yani stretched out with satisfaction, her bulging and plump body stretched out her robe to create graceful curves.
"I'm tired and I'm going to take a nap. Do you want Xiaoshun to sleep with me?"
Turning her head, she teased Zhao Yinshun and said with a smile.
Zhao Yinshun rolled his eyes at her angrily, and squeezed out a word through his teeth.
"roll!"
"But there is only one bedroom here. Sooner or later you will have to sleep with me."
"No, I'll just meditate in the living room!"
"Then please trouble Xiao Shunshun, mua~"
Oakley Yani opened the door to the back room with a sweet smile, turned around and blew a kiss to Zhao Yinshun, and quickly disappeared from sight.
After she left, the helpless emotion in Zhao Yinshun's eyes slowly disappeared, and he turned to look at the mountains and rivers outside the window.
Various landscapes flashed through his pupils like streams of light, but they couldn't create a single ripple.
………………
The dangers along the straight road have been eliminated over and over again, but even so, Zhao Yinshun and others encountered several monsters and beasts.
But before he could get out of the car to watch, Oakley Yani's servants cut them into pieces quickly, without even seeming to slow down the speed of the convoy.
Realizing that these servants were also high-level martial arts extraordinary people, Zhao Yinshun had more guesses about the identity of the strange sister.
Under the protection of powerful force, the rest of the journey was uneventful.
Zhao Yinshun practiced [Zhenwu Secret Records] intensively every day, and finally entered a new realm when he entered the Lanzhou Prefecture area.

"Eh? Little Shunshun, please open your eyes and let me take a look!"
