The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse

Chapter 52 Using Undead to Build Canals

In ancient Egypt, the pyramids were used as the tombs of the Pharaohs, starting from the construction of the first pyramid by Imhotep in the third dynasty for King Zoser, and continued until the eighteenth dynasty. There were many pharaohs, and the construction of the pyramids lasted for more than a thousand years.

Until the eighteenth dynasty, a large number of small pyramids were patronized by tomb robbers. The pharaohs felt that the magnificent pyramids were not enough to protect their peace after death, so the funeral method of the pyramids was changed into a mausoleum during the eighteenth dynasty. This is the famous Valley of the Kings.

In the history of Chen Mo's original world, there have always been different opinions on the specific function of the pyramid. In the relatively early period, there was even a fallacious statement that the pyramid was an energy tower built by aliens.

But the more orthodox and unified view is that the pyramid is a tomb built by the pharaoh for himself, and it has the function of allowing the pharaoh to ascend to heaven after his death, as a road to heaven, and as a monument.

And in this world where gods exist, according to Imerton, the pyramid also has other functions.

It was a tool used by the pharaohs to maintain their rule in the underworld.

According to Imerton, every pharaoh will start to build a pyramid when he is alive, and the subjects who died during the pharaoh's reign will spontaneously gather together in the underworld, and when the pharaoh's pyramid is completed, he himself will be buried in it , Pharaoh will once again rule over his subjects in Hades.

The pyramids will protect those subjects from all kinds of demons and ghosts in the underworld, and those dead subjects will build a city around the pyramids, which is the residence and city of the Pharaoh in the underworld.

The cities of the pharaohs of the same dynasty will gather together to form a kingdom of the underworld, and there will be wars between different underworld dynasties, but as long as the Pharaoh’s pyramid is still there, the underworld dynasty will not fall down, even if it dies in battle His subjects will also be resurrected under the protection of the Pharaoh's pyramid.

It can be said that for the ancient Egyptians in this world, the pyramids are more important than Chen Moyuan's world.

What Emerton presented is naturally the most orthodox pyramid construction method that has been developed for more than a thousand years and has reached the standard of perfection.

After receiving the information presented by Imerton, Chen Mo made the decision to build the pyramid after careful study.

Of course, he also logically proposed that Imerton reverse the function of the pyramid, so that it can play its role in the human world, so that the dead can be resurrected.

For Imerton, this is not a difficult task, especially since Chen Mo gave him a copy of the construction materials of the psychic tower.

However, the construction of the pyramid is not what Chen Mo needs to accomplish the most right now. It is just a mid-to-long-term plan, and it is one of the things Chen Mo needs to do after he controls Egypt.

To take over a country, or the capital has just been breached, all high-level officials have been slaughtered, and the city is in chaos, there are many things that need to be done.

Even though the British put the city under military control as soon as they entered Cairo, there is still a lot of work to be done in the chaotic city.

For Chen Mo, who just got the ruling power of Egypt from the British, the first thing he has to do now is to build an administrative team for himself to make up for the power vacuum created after the massacre of high-level officials.

This is actually not difficult to deal with. What he asked Ada Wang to kill were only senior officials of various government departments in Egypt. The grassroots officials who really worked and the deputies of high-level officials were still there, as long as these people were promoted.

With the cooperation of the British, as long as Chen Mo signed the document for confirmation, it would be over.

As for the loyalty of these people... Ada Wang is now appointed by Chen Mo as the director of the Egyptian National Intelligence Agency. Recently, there have been many more vampires under her command.

Although the British were very dissatisfied with his practice of turning people into vampires,

But in the end, he pinched his nose and admitted, just reminding Chen Mo not to go too far.

Naturally, the British's warning was a bit harsh, but Chen Mo was still kind, and did not show some things that were too shocking to the world, or put them on the bright side.

After all, he has just taken over the country, and the power of the British is not yet something he can confront head-on. If he wants to ignore the British, at least he must wait until his own strength has developed to a certain extent.

However, although the British pretended that they did not want Chen Mo to go too far, when Chen Mo suggested that the resurrected souls could be used to widen the Suez Canal, the British expressed the Suez Canal coyly. It is an international waterway, and you need to pay attention to the impact. Then I turned around and talked with Chen Mo about the division of interests in the Suez Canal after the widening of the waterway.

The history of the Suez Canal can be traced back as far as the twelfth dynasty of ancient Egypt. In many subsequent dynasties, the canal was either abandoned or dredged again, but the Suez Canal in the modern sense was opened in 1869 , built by the French.

In order to build this canal, a total of 120,000 laborers died in Egypt, with an average of 738.5 deaths per kilometer.

Later, the Egyptian Pasha at that time sold the canal equity to the British because of foreign debts, and the British thus obtained control of the Suez Canal.

The British established the Canal Company in Egypt to manage the Suez Canal, and at the same time stationed a garrison of up to 80,000 people to control the Suez Canal.

The canal can generate considerable income every year, but only a small amount of it will be distributed to the Egyptian government, and most of the income will fall into the pockets of the British.

As a traverser, Chen Mo certainly understands how important this canal is. It can be said that the reason why Egypt can maintain its economic development in later generations depends to a large extent on the benefits brought by the canal, so it is up to him to take back the Suez Canal In the hands, it is something that must be done.

It's just that the British are powerful now, and there are a large number of troops stationed in the canal area. It is unrealistic to be tough and want to take it back.

That's why Chen Mocai put forward a proposal to expand the Suez Canal, and used this to take back a part of the canal shares from the British, thus gaining part of the benefits.

After weighing the proposal, the British still chose to agree, but they were stingy and only willing to give Chen Mo 10% of the canal shares.

This obviously couldn't satisfy Chen Mo's appetite, so after a "kind and friendly conversation", the British "generously" increased this ratio to 35%.

Although this was still a figure that could not satisfy Chen Mo, after the British offered other compensations, Chen Mo agreed to the distribution plan.
