Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first? Chapter 845: 53: Interlude 5
Chapter 845: Chapter 53: Interlude 5
On the fourth day after returning from ti travel, the teleportation device was finally fixed.
To be precise, the experintal prototype was already built long ago, but the paraters had not been input because the transmigrator had not appeared.
Now, with the physical tissue from Aske, we conducted an analysis and decoding on the quantum level and finally obtained the corresponding paraters.
Next, the paraters were input into the teleportation device for debugging.
Aske was also very excited about this. After all, four days have passed here, which ans four years have passed over there.
Though the lifespan of a Demigod is endless, and a few years is insignificant, it is still better to return early.
Better than staying in this underground base all day.
Once the device was debugged and the teleportation coordinates confird, another problem was discovered:
Insufficient energy.
To be precise, sending a 100kg object to the other side would require about 500,000 kilowatt-hours of power.
For those who have no concept of electricity resources, they may not grasp the significance of this. To put it into perspective, in the economically most advanced city of S City, the average social electricity consumption per minute is 1.3 million kilowatt-hours in 2077…
In other words, shutting down the entirety of S City for half a minute could save enough electricity to send one overweight person across.
In fact, even if the power was cut, the saved electricity couldn’t be stored, so the scheduling and calculations beca very tricky.
The first batch of people to be teleported has already been determined: Aske (a key figure), comrade Mao Zhongwei from the security departnt, comrade Yu Ziwen from the foreign affairs departnt, and academician Shao Qiangang from the Academy of Sciences.
Originally, bodyguards were also included, but considering the terrifying power consumption, all security personnel were removed from the list, and the corresponding work in this area was handed over to comrade Aske.
The total weight of everyone is 260kg, consuming around 1.3 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.
So the experts from the power grid ca to discuss, and they concluded that this device consus electricity instantaneously, and the power consumption during teleportation was sky-high—according to the current total installed capacity of national power generation, two-thirds of the country’s power generation would need to be supplied here to suffice.
Of course, using two-thirds of the national power generation is impossible; how many factories would need to be shut down! Then soone important suggested that they had a secret project and could supply power here on the day of teleportation.
After all, it’s a top-secret project, and the power consumption is unknown to the expert group from the power grid. Once added, the calculations can be adjusted.
Recalculating, they found that there were still many gaps to fill, so another important figure said they also had a secret project…
So, these important figures managed bits from here and there to patch up the electricity shortfall to the extent that it was almost covered. Just a little more was needed from shutting down H City, and it would be enough!
Of course, such a large instantaneous power supply demands extra requirents for transmission equipnt, lines, etc. But since it’s 2077 now, apart from the hard requirent of the power shortfall, all the technical challenges deed impossible fifty years ago are not a problem today.
Therefore, the corresponding plan was quickly finalized: addressing scheduling and arrangent issues, it was decided to conduct several experintal teleportations of small-mass objects tomorrow. Of course, H City would also experience several blackouts, not just to fill the power shortfall for experintal teleportation but also to let the citizens of H City get accustod in advance.
If everything goes smoothly, the first teleportation of Aske and others will take place the day after tomorrow.
After so many days of persuasion, Aske finally understood these people’s difficulties and contributions, and wasn’t as resistant to certain things.
Look, how difficult it is for them to send you back! 30 million people in H City have to endure power outages for you!
Why not open a harem for the country?

Helel planet, 251st year of the Sixth Epoch, atop the vast Mont Blanc.
Peggy stood dazedly in the middle of the snowy field, watching the falling snowflakes scatter across the sky.
Three hours later, she sighed and transford into a bat, flying southeast.
After another half an hour, the huge form of the Bronze Dragon erged from the empty snowy ground.
The dragon’s face also showed a personified expression of lancholy, sighing deeply, its blistering Dragon Breath lting all the accumulated snow on the ground.
Soon, more snowflakes began covering the ground once again.
Suddenly, an object dropped from the sky, plunging into the snowy ground.
The Bronze Dragon sneezed, lting the snowdrift ahead to reveal a tallic object underneath.
It appeared like a small cart, carrying sothing on top.
This kind of precise, complex structure was obviously the product of the Church Court, but why did it have the scent of the Otherworld?
The Bronze Dragon couldn’t figure it out and slapped the cart with its tail, shattering it.
…
Holy Solomon Empire, Bohemian Kingdom, outside the city of Prague.
“What’s the situation in the city?” Eleanor, who had just arrived from the Lorraine Duchy, first inquired about the situation inside the kingdom’s capital.
“The situation is not promising, Princess,” Sir Joel responded, “the Hussite faction in the city…”
“Call Squad Leader,” Eleanor earnestly said.
The Emperor of the Saxon Family, Otto II, abdicated last year, and his son, young Otto, succeeded, leaving many Frank nobles dissatisfied—for both legal and competence reasons, it should have been Princess Sofie, the one who wields the Unyielding Holy Sword, to ascend the throne.
However, Eleanor herself had no direct desire to govern the Empire, and the nobles supporting her couldn’t forcibly grant her the imperial robe.
From another perspective, young Otto was only ten years old… certainly unable to handle state affairs, so power was bound to slip away. Rather than fall into the hands of the Court’s scheming nobles, it would be better to transfer the reigns to the Saxon Family’s own hands.
Therefore, through coordination within the Giant Dragon family, the newly crowned young Otto imdiately appointed his elder sister as Imperial Regent, Great Captain of the Blade Warriors, and First Sword Bearer under the Iron Throne, which after a slew of such titles, finally cald the unrest among the vassal nobles.
Thus, Eleanor had effectively beco the “virtual king” of the Holy Solomon Empire, the highest holder of imperial power. Even if she proposed sitting on the Iron Throne the next second, everyone at the Aachen Palace would imdiately lift young Otto down and honorably enthrone the Princess.
However, this noble-minded Princess seed to have no such intentions, much to the disappointnt of many imperial nobles.
Since acquiring power, she rely reorganized the Blade Warriors into the “Holy Solomon Brotherhood Knight Order”, marked by a white cross on a black base, eradicating thieves and quelling revolts within the Lorraine Duchy, suppressing forces that rose during the imperial power transition.
Due to her non-lethal approach and lenient treatnt towards noble captives, coupled with her noble status, family lineage, authority over the Holy Sword, and a series of other factors, her reputation among the Empire’s nobility has steadily risen, far surpassing the assessnt of the forr Emperor.
So much so that to this day, nurous imperial nobles still attempt to elevate her to the Iron Throne, frequently using the honorific “Supre Sword Bearer” to emphasize her implied succession from the forr Emperor. However, Eleanor dislikes this title, insisting on being called “Squad Leader.”
It’s unclear what makes “Squad Leader” any better than “Your Highness.”
