update

15:40 It’s the third update!

As the team moves, the closer it gets to the inland, the more desolate the territory of the Arab Empire appears. Yellow sand and a bunch of weeds are everywhere. In such an environment, it is a miracle to survive.

As the group talked about the changes, the road became less difficult. Zhao Fubo's subordinates were scattered to protect the surroundings of the carriage.

However, these guys are not honest people. They will ride around from time to time and have any prey. Due to their preferences, snakes in the desert are considered to be in trouble. Whether they are poisonous or not, they are all put in bags and become dinner. If you have to find an adjective for these guys, there is only one - locust. It’s not that there is not enough military rations, but that wild game is more pleasing to their appetite.

In contrast, the subordinates of Azam Tulansha Sultan were much more honest. Just like their sultan, Azam Tulansha, they could only stay with Zhao Fubo and wait for his orders at any time. Instead of riding out to have fun like others, they often rode out to have fun.

"Emperor, we will arrive at Palmyra in a short time, there..."

Zhao Fubo is thinking about the future, how to build an organization or institution called Imam Glory. Although it seems that it is just an organization under the Caliph, it is actually just an organization and institution that integrates propaganda and powerful institutions, protects Islamic civilization.

In a sense, it is also an institution that restricts the royal power and examines the thinking of the people, just like the Catholic Church in Europe.

"Palmyra? Where is that, should I know?"

Zhao Fubo, who was interrupted by his thoughts, was somewhat displeased, and his tone was not good when he asked.

"Yes... no... Emperor, there is an oasis on the Syrian desert!"

"Oh, are you worried about drinking water? You don't have to worry. The water jug ​​in our car is filled with a lot of drinking water."

Of course, Zhao Fubo would not know where Palmyra was. He just relied on Greenzhou alone. He thought Azam Tulansha was worried about drinking water.

There is no need to worry about this. Each of the large water on the trucks is in short supply can hold 3 tons of drinking water. Not to mention that all dirty water, including the excreted liquid, will be reevaporated into distilled water in the "centrifugal evaporating fresh water supply machine" to supplement drinking water.

Knowing that Zhao Fubo was interested in ancient Greece and Roman civilizations, he naturally believed that Palmyra was interested in Zhao Fubo. Of course, he knew that Zhao Fubo was only interested in the part of the war weapons in those civilizations. As for the other parts, it must be the part that Teacher Martin would be interested in.

"Well, the Great Emperor, it is not only a green state, but also an extremely ancient city. Until now, there are some wonderful buildings there. It is said that its art and architecture can cleverly integrate the skills of ancient Greece and Roman with local traditions and Persian influences. There is a very stylish urban ruins..."

Zhao Fubo became interested. He probably thought that the place could find some civilization wealth like Alexandria. Of course, he still had no interest in civilization itself, and the part of the war was still interested.

Perhaps God was destined to disappoint Zhao Fubo. In addition to a group of ruins, there were still city walls and city ruins.

From the scale and exquisiteness of the ruins, we can guess the prosperity of the city at that time. It has palace groups, arcades of triumphals, theaters, and cemeteries, which can be concluded that this is the capital of a great country.

Central Street divides the city into east and west halves. The simple distance measuring instrument used by Zhao Fubo is used. It has a total length of more than 1,600 meters. The largest ruins, Beile Temple, is located at the southern end of Central Street. It has three halls, distributed in U-shaped shapes, surrounded by two rows of exquisite stone pillars supported by 15-meter-high corridors.

When the Flying Fire Sky Beast was walking on the main road of 1.6 kilometers, the hooves made a crisp sound, rows of limestone columns, and the towering Arc de Triomphe. In an instant, Zhao Fubo's heart was moved.

Before coming, Zhao Fubo listened to the introduction of Azam Tulansha Sultan while studying the Quran and systematically studied history, knowing that this was a city that had disappeared and once flourished on the Silk Road.

The road under the flying fire burning sky beast's hooves is about 11 meters wide, and there are 6 meters wide auxiliary roads on both sides. Although the original appearance of the ancient city was not seen, when Zhao Fubo walked through it, it still seemed to have entered a time and space tunnel. If you listen quietly, the towering stone pillars and every stone scattered on the desert seemed to be in the wind of the desert, telling him that there had been glorious and brilliant civilization here.

Although the colonnades on both sides of the road are incomplete, the grand momentum of Palmyra can still be seen from it. Zhao Fubo, who has been "baptized" by the ruins of Alexandria, can be easily distinguished from the broken buildings. These buildings have both the magnificent styles of ancient Greece and ancient Rome, as well as the mystery and magnificence of local traditions and Persian culture.

In this desolate desert, there are wreckages of civilization. These remains of some kind of pride are still maintained until today, probably waiting for their arrival here. Zhao Fubo listened, savored, and thought, and for some reason his heart was excited. Just like what he saw, it was the result of the exquisite culture of the Song Dynasty falling into the hands of the people.

He jumped off his horse and walked around the city. He didn't look for anything. He just wanted to know why such a city had fallen to such an end. Can civilization never fight against barbaric invasions? Should the race that created civilization be only tributed by others in the ruins?

He raised his head and walked through the high Arc de Triomphe. It was the top of the main street of the city. The 750 stone pillars standing on both sides of the road proudly raised their heads, showing the scenery of the past to the people today. These stone pillars also carry troughs made of bluestone. Zhao Fubo guessed that it was Palmyra's Tianlang waterway.

"Humans have had splendid civilizations, but what power has caused these civilizations to be the most severely hit?"

I think no one would give Zhao Fubo any answer, and there was no answer at all. As a high school student, Zhao Fubo now thinks about things, which is much deeper than in the past.
