Demon Change the Earth

"...The development of human civilization is based on the continuous improvement and application of production tools. It only took a few thousand years from slash-and-burn to informatization and intelligence. Especially the several industrial revolutions in modern times. , The wealth, value and knowledge created far exceed the sum of thousands of years of history."

"The improvement and application of production tools have promoted a leap in productivity, greatly enriched the material and cultural life of all mankind, and allowed people to gradually break away from the inefficient, repetitive and high-intensity production mode. Not only did they free their hands, It also liberated the body, mind and even soul."

"All of this is inseparable from the development and application of science and technology."

"What is science? Science is the discovery, summary, repetition and application of the world and truth. With science, people have achieved feats that can only be done in myths and legends, from manned moon landings to deep sea diving, from man-made From the sun to the microcosm that constitutes life, everything is present and all-encompassing."

"Everything Niang Niang is currently in is the product of a certain stage of scientific and technological development. Just like this train, it burned with coal at the beginning to generate high-temperature heat and transfer it to the water, which makes the water boil, thereby generating steam, and the steam expands. , Start the bearing to rotate, thereby converting heat energy into mechanical energy, to drive this big guy to speed."

"Like a watermill and a windmill?"

"Yes!" Ma Liang smiled: "The principle is very simple, but the realization is not so simple."

Hu Zhenzhen is like a little girl who listens to a story, resting her cheeks in her hands, lying on the table obsessively, listening to Ma Liang's "Popular Science" while thinking about what he describes.

Not only her, but the maids around, including Fox Chunniang who came in temporarily, were fascinated by it.

The train was speeding under the night, and from far away, the outline of Jiangcheng could be seen.

"Niangniang's understanding of human society is still at the stage of the outbreak of the first industrial revolution. At the time when you knew it, human beings were still ignorant of the world's understanding of science. Therefore, low productivity is the first thing people have to solve. The most important thing is the problem of food and clothing. Ordinary people spend most of their lives tied to the land. The low production method determines all aspects of society, including the superstructure, which is different now."

"The so-called warehouses know the etiquette for the real thing, and know the honor and disgrace if they have enough food and clothing. People don't have to worry about food and clothing, and naturally they start to pay attention to other aspects.

Hu Zhenzhen just listened attentively. No matter what Ma Liang said, the little star flashed in her eyes. Hu Chunniang is different. She has been in contact with human society and has learned a little bit more and has a certain ability to think: "No. According to the Venerable, people nowadays should pay more attention to courtesy and knowing courtesy. Why...

Ma Liang smiled and said: "This question is very complicated. The contemporary human civilization style is more influenced by Western civilization."

"Yiren!?"

"Before the Industrial Revolution, our ancestors created an extraordinary and brilliant civilization. During the same period, the level of productivity was the world's leading position. For thousands of years, regardless of prosperity or decline, we have firmly stood at the top of civilization. But after the Industrial Revolution It's different..." Ma Liang knocked on the table and slowly stated: "The first industrial revolution broke out in the Western world. The emergence of the steam engine greatly increased the level of productivity. The original small hand-crafted production method was eliminated. Now, steam-driven machines are tireless and do not require rest. One machine can replace the labor and efficiency of hundreds of people!"

Having said this, Hu Zhenzhen innocently looked at the carriage and the roof, and Ma Liang quickly laughed and said, "I don't use a steam engine now, but something better and more advanced."

"Friends of Daoist, please continue talking, very conscious!"

The train has entered the outskirts of Jiangcheng, and the dim lights are blowing on his face. In order to relieve the tension of these aliens when they first arrive in the noble state, Ma Liang can only continue to use this method to relieve: "The leap in productivity brings great survival efficiency. Two kinds of huge demand erupted when production increased."

"The first is the desire for raw materials, and the second is the market."

"Raw materials support this production method can continue. The market determines the final wealth and value of the products produced. It is these two driving forces that drove the Western countries that first started the industrial revolution to explore the world."

"First, occupy the origin of the raw materials, and second, sell their products!

"Therefore broke out the first great sailing wave in human history, and it also brought a series of iron and blood and evil, which gave birth to a new term-colonization!"

"colonial?"

"The Western powers started the prelude to carve up the world, bringing not only knives, guns and artillery, but also the popularization of ideas and values. Unfortunately, China has fallen behind at this time."

Hu Zhenzhen covered her mouth and nose in surprise, and asked, "So?"

"So, Huaxia has also become one of the objects of carve-up."

"This is really..."

Hu Zhenzhen still has some conservatives and scruples, and Hu Chunniang is much more straightforward, saying: "It's really a shame for the descendants of later generations~www.ltnovel.com~ to put the ancestors to shame!"

Ma Liang smiled bitterly and nodded, and said: "Yes, posterity is not good, too self-satisfied and arrogant, only this century of humiliating national luck."

"I see, the etiquette is withered because of foreign invasion!?"

"Not only that, but because the productivity has jumped, the original ancient law has not adapted to the times, and naturally..."

"That's it!" Hu Zhenzhen sighed with regret.

"The current world pattern is actually forged by the West, and the right to speak is still firmly occupied by them. Our culture and inheritance are actually on the defensive. However, China has begun to rejuvenate, with the Eastern civilization represented by it. It will inevitably return to its original position in history. I am confident about this."

"Can the ancient ceremony be revived then?"

"I'm afraid it won't work... The times are developing, isn't every dynasty in China also inherited and abandoned? Now is the era of globalization, the past is over, and there is no need to go back if you can never go back. ."

"That...what a pity!"

"People always miss the things they have lost in the past, and it seems that the empress is inevitable."

"Friends joked, Zhenzhen is a foreign race!"

"In my opinion, Niang Niang is more like a Chinese than most people, including me."

"Really!?" Hu Zhenzhen couldn't help touching her cheek.

At this time, the train finally entered the station.

The scale of Xincheng Railway Station is naturally far larger than that of Maple Leaf Town, and a different style is blown away.

Ma Liang stood up and smiled: "I'm in the place, but it's still a new city. If the lady is interested, I will settle down in a few days and I will show you around the old city. Only there is the style of today's human society!"

"This...this is here!?"

Hu Zhenzhen stood up helplessly and looked out the window nervously.
