Xianyang City, Imperial Palace.

"Something happened on the way. I came back late. Didn't I keep my father waiting in a hurry?"

Ying Yu hurriedly walked into the imperial study room.

I also secretly lamented that Da Qin's communication method was still too backward.

Although the speed of flying pigeons to deliver messages is much faster than that of fast horses, due to the carrying capacity of pigeons, they cannot record too many words.

Moreover, only one-way communication can be carried out, and interactive communication cannot be carried out in a timely manner.

If there could be an ordinary radio station in the future, let alone the thousands of miles distance between Xianyang City and Luoyang City, it would be easy to communicate directly with Persia County thousands of miles away.

Thousands of miles away, for radio waves, it is only one hundredth of a second, and there is almost no delay.

But Ying Yu could only think about it for the time being.

The Daqin Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering have only just begun to digest steam engine technology. If they want to develop into electric power technology and then turn on radio, there are still countless difficulties to overcome.

As for buying it directly from the system mall, there is no need to think about it. The ridiculous price is simply not affordable for Ying Yu today.

The technology line is not that easy to skip.

"Thank you for your hard work along the way."

"What do you think the Roman side is trying to do this time?"

The First Emperor looked away from the world map on the wall and said with a puzzled look on his face.

"My father doesn't know that Rome attaches great importance to road construction and once boasted that all roads lead to Rome."

"It's just that their roads are considered the most advanced technology in Rome, but they are not as good as the Qin Straight Road in the past in our country, let alone cement straight roads and railways."

"Roma had previously consulted with me, Daqin, about whether to purchase cement concrete technology, but I was blocked by Er Chen."

"At that time, the Romans also thought that this seemingly inconspicuous cement concrete should be very simple. After being rejected, they began to plan to develop it themselves. However, after struggling for a long time, they did not come up with anything that could be used."

"I guess I understand the gap between myself and Daqin, and also understand that Daqin will not directly sell railway technology that is more advanced than cement. Instead, I want to ask Daqin to help me build it directly."

"And on the other hand, this railway is also a way for the Romans to show goodwill to our country, Great Qin, and to try to show their Rome's sincerity to our country, Great Qin."

"Based on the information sent back by intelligence personnel, I estimate that Rome may be stepping up its offensive against Carthage."

Ying Yu said in a deep voice.

"It seems that this Roman is not determined to give up!"

"However, before the opening of the Suez Canal, Da Qin's influence on Rome was indeed limited."

"And if you want to really launch an attack on Rome, it's best to wait until the railway is built to Persia and the existing territory is completely consolidated."

"Otherwise, even if the land of Rome is conquered, it will be difficult to manage, and it will be difficult to ensure that no accidents occur."

Ying Zheng glanced at the world map on the wall again.

One of the very important factors why Great Qin was able to successfully integrate Persia and Seleucid was that Seleucid's temper had been defeated by the Romans in advance.

Moreover, after taking control of the prairie, Great Qin's land territory was actually bordering the Seleucids, and the Seleucids had no power to resist.

Coupled with the shock of hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry from the Western Region Protectorate, the Seleucids did not dare to have other thoughts.

But Rome was different.

First of all, Rome was further away from Daqin, and it was separated from the Persian County by the vast Mediterranean Sea.

Even after the Suez Canal is opened in the future, the Daqin fleet can enter and have sufficient influence in the Mediterranean.

But if you want to truly capture Rome, you must have the input of the army.

The Romans were not Seleucids and would be obedient.

Even if they were no match for Da Qin in frontal combat, all kinds of harassment would be enough to annoy Da Qin's army.

At that time, it is very likely that there will be a situation where you nominally own Rome, but you will not be able to get much benefit from Rome, or even suffer a loss.

Moreover, because Daqin City is too far away from Rome, communication is really inconvenient, and many accidents may occur.

If you want to completely stabilize Rome, you must increase the proportion of Qin people to a sufficient level.

With the support of the Qin people, the Qin army could be like a fish in water and truly control the land of Rome.

However, it is very difficult to immigrate to Persia County nowadays, let alone Rome.

If you want to immigrate on a large scale, you can only continue to move to Rome after the railway reaches Persia and the Persian County is completely under your control.

"What my father said is true. I believe that the Romans saw this and came up with the idea of ​​using railways to paralyze the Qin Dynasty."

"Anyway, even if Great Qin doesn't agree, the Romans won't lose anything?"

"And under the current circumstances, even if I, Da Qin, see that Rome has ulterior motives, there are not many good solutions."

"The most you can do is sell more weapons to Carthage and risk being intercepted by the Roman fleet in the Mediterranean."

Ying Yu said with a faint smile.

"It's only a few years, my father can still afford to wait."

"Even if my father can't wait, I still have you."

"Even without Rome and Carthage, as long as our current territory of the Qin Dynasty can be completely stabilized, it will be enough to surpass the past and the present."

"And today's Great Qin is reaching its limit. The development of the newly explored southern continent is very slow."

"It is better to stabilize the existing land and work step by step."

Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head.

"Father, you are really pleased!"

Ying Yu said with a smile.

Generally speaking, when an emperor sees the opportunity to annex regional powers like Rome and Carthage and achieve world unification, he is afraid that he will be enthusiastic very soon, regardless of whether it is achieved first.

Only an emperor like the First Emperor, who could always remain calm, could see the disadvantages of overexpansion and chose a safer route.

It seems like there are just two choices: fast and slow, but it is definitely not an easy thing to do it and make up your mind without hesitation.

And it is even more rare for the entire court to be able to move without moving and completely carry out the emperor's wishes.

"You kid hasn't learned anything else, but with this skill of flattery, you've made rapid progress!"

"However, something as good as the railway cannot be made cheap for the Romans, so we can just refuse it."

Ying Zheng smiled, waved his hands and said.

However, the next moment, Ying Yu gave an unexpected answer to Ying Zheng.

"Father, why do you reject Rome's railway request?"
