《Nova Roma》Trip to Olissipo (Lisbon)
Advertisement
During the following three months of July he underwent a great change of personality, the Spartan training his nephew did change his way of thinking, he no longer took time to drink until he was in a coma, he learned the value of responsibility in blood thanks to these efforts
when he left de emerita Augusta asked his father to allow him to command the invasion of Britannia, august was surprised by the change of attitude of his son and wondered what it was that he had lived with his grandson, august first tested the capabilities of his son and he liked his command of the troops and his ability to use the tactics of the troops, after a test that lasted a week august entrusted his son part of the invasion of Britain taking as his second in command the General Agrippa .
In emerita Augusta Flavio began to plan the development of the port of Olissipo (Lisbon currently), to reach the Americas it is not complicated the approximate time to reach Coatzacoalcos with the current technology is 90 days (3 months), the question is that is only a one way trip there is no return, as soon as there is no return it is due to the future Flavio may know that his grandfather and his uncle will allow a trade to the Americas, but what happens if one day the imperial regime of the family falls through other emperors
they will not leave a large piece of meat in their sight, send troops to the Americas and start a great war and colonization, in the end, no one will win in these wars sooner or later Rome will fall and with it the Americas would be fragmented and only will form a kind of American Europe, so it is better to centralize power from the center of the continent (Mexico), go south and reach the darién (Frontera Panama, Colombia) create a wall to separate the wild south of the developed north, after that colonize the islands of the Caribbean and start trade in Asia

one of the very important strategic materials in the Americas is the sisal a plant that produces a very strong natural fiber with it Flavio can develop modern sailboats which have a greater capacity of speed and load, so traveling to Japan to start trading is not a bad idea, as for why China is not due to the language as they know Flavio has blocked areas of knowledge this includes languages, because Flavio knows Mayan, Nahuatl and ancient Japanese, it is due to his past life he was a Mexican archaeologist who worked at INAH (Institute of Anthropology and History (Mexico))
always felt the taste for the important cultures and languages of his nation and as far as Japanese is due to his liking for anime and his wife a Japanese linguist named Sakura, a rather peculiar relationship ar but thanks to it allowed him to know more about different cultures, now returning to the point of Olissipo the development is to allow docking a large Flavio fleet needs to emigrate to at least 1 million people
the number of people in the Americas was very small due to the great distribution that exists and the date it is, in 1519 AD there were approximately 32 million native people in Mesoamerica now it is 21 BC, the population must be of some few millions of between 5-10 million scattered in the area of Mesoamerica (All the data are approximate I did not find precise data, so all these numbers are suppositions formulated with the scant information that I found)
as to how to transport so many Flavio people thought of sending 3 expeditions the first will be troops, priests and priestesses and population for the construction of forts, the second will be artisans, population in general, and the third and last will be animals horses, donkeys, sheep, goats, among others, Flavio would leave with the first expedition, the second would be commanded by his mother and the last by his wife Hellena.

For the creation of the Flavio fleet you are very lucky, in this era there are many tall trees perfect for the construction of the keel of the boats which has to be built from a single tree, the model of the boat that wants to occupy is the ship of line of 3000 tons, clear that with limitations and substantial changes the tonnage is reduced remember that the ships were made in an era with a global trade where resources could be taken from all places
But Flavio is sure that he can make a great 2500 tonnes single-use boat this mainly because the wood tends to rot in the sea if it is not treated correctly, with these large boats is sure to take about 5000 people per boat (including crew) and resources for their subsistence during the 3 months of travel, as for why no more is to avoid diseases and famines in the trip, therefore, needs 200 boats only to carry 1 million people but if you add exclusive ships of supplies, armament and animals would be 400 boats in total a large amount for the time, if you divided your priorities into 3 first the creation of a school of sailors, the second the expansion of the port and the third the improvement of the shipyard in the city of Olissipo.
Flavio spent a few days and traveled with hellena to the coastal city of Olissipo to start the construction of a school of sailors, at this time the sailors are quite common but Flavio needs a plus on their sailors is not the same travel in the Mediterranean that in the Atlantic
if they are not careful a storm can end the expedition or they can end up going to another place, that's why the training of the sailors, captains, naval police and naval doctor is elementary, Flavio calculates that he needs to train more than 80,000 men and women 200 sailors by boat, to have an effective and safe control of the goods and population that is transported until they reach the new world, the school decided to found near the port occupying more than 5 km2
Flavio explained the plans of the building to his trusted architect Marco the naval school was very similar to the "Mürwik Academy" with the difference that the clock of the tower and eliminated to build a watchtower and placed a sundial in front of the building, the capacity was for 2000 students
Flavio was not in a hurry since the construction would take at least 3 years enough time for trained and trained teachers he will publish some books to complement the education, while the shield he occupied was the Juarista eagle (symbol of the flag of the second Mexican republic), to make him Flavio he took the time to sculpt it in wood, while hellena enjoyed the beautiful beaches of Olissipo.

The First Magician
James died from touching something he, in hindsight, should definitely not have. As luck would have it, he was reborn into a world with magic, levels, skills, and stats. Just like an RPG! The most curious thing about this new world was that magic had only existed for thirty years. What kind of life will James lead in a world filled with monsters, dungeons, and magic? Usually will update Wednesday and Saturday, but there's always the chance I haven't gotten around to writing in a while so there may be a break. Additionally, I intend to edit heavily between arcs.

Blurb:Layla lives in a multi-planar universe where gods and superhuman immortals roam. Immortality is possible but only to those with money, power, and connections. Layla isn't worried about that, though. She's just trying to pay the rent. Robinhood style, of course. Atom is the self-proclaimed Mantle of Procrastination and good times. He Ascended from Earth a thousand years ago. A millennial NEET shut-in at heart, he enjoys video games and holo tube while spending time with his female companion, who does all his deific duties for him. Join the crazy adventures of a lazy God and his unwilling follower's rise to power. The first few Arc's of the story is an Academy arc. I think you will know if you like the story by chapter 6 as the first chapter may be confusing (or sucks, idk I like it so whatever)._________ The story is a slow burn. If you are expecting quick progression, I suggest looking at some of the other great stories on RR. I personally enjoy and Patreon several, but that's not what I'm writing. That might hurt my chances of trending anytime soon (or ever lol), but that is fine with me. I'm sure some of you will appreciate the story as much as I do in writing it. FAQ: The story has elements of xianxia and wuxia along with some GameLit (at some point). The story takes place in an age where tech has advanced to a complete integration with magic. Imagine everything running on mana or qi instead of electricity, and you will get the idea. There will be crafting but not until later in the story. It's actually a core plot elemenet for Layla. I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment and as a way of relieving stress in my life. I'm not a pro author or a naturally gifted wordsmith. I don't have beta readers and every chapter posted is a first draft. I'm still learning and will strive to improve as I continue the story. If you don't speak up I can't work on improving as an author. I welcome any criticism and encouragement that would help me become a better writer. I can't believe you read this far down! ;) Enjoy the story. --Cover Credit-- Cover art (emblem) by: Oxana Che Cover Design by: Miblart
