Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Chapter 4534 4536 [The Essence of the World]

World War II was much more fierce than World War I.

On the one hand, weapons were more advanced. There were jet planes and hydrogen airships in the sky, tanks, armored vehicles, and automatic artillery on the ground, submarines and steel ships in the sea...

Soldiers used to have single-shot rifles in their hands, and they had to change bullets after each shot. Now they have been changed to automatic and semi-automatic rifles, which not only have more ammunition, but also have stronger power.

On the one hand, the war theories of various countries have also been innovated. During the First World War, many countries did not know enough about modern warfare, which led to serious strategic misjudgments and tactical mistakes.

For example, France did not expect the war to be so tragic, so it was not well prepared at the beginning. However, Britain, the United States and other countries made sufficient preparations and put all their troops on the war as soon as it started.

When the French front was defeated, they wanted to recruit soldiers at full speed and produce weapons and ammunition, but they were already far behind, which led to failure.

It is precisely because of this that when World War II started, all countries tried their best to fight, and no one dared to hold back, and this war was extremely tragic.

In the first year, 20 million soldiers were killed or injured, and more than 60 million civilians were affected. It can be said that the intensity was far greater than that of World War I.

No matter how fierce the war was, Xiang Nan and Elizabeth were not affected much.

They now live in Los Angeles, USA, and live a rich and peaceful life.

Although there was a war outside, their lives were not affected.

Even though many commodities were limited in supply due to the war outside, such as sugar, coffee, butter, cheese, pork, beef, dried fruits, jam, gasoline, leather shoes, cars, motorcycles... but their family still had endless food.

Because the Sword of Kotels could meet any of their needs, they had food, clothes, cars...

"Life is much better now than before, and I don't understand why they still have to fight. I remember that in Royal Port before, people had problems getting enough food." Elizabeth asked puzzledly.

This era is much better than three hundred years ago. At that time, people didn't have enough food, and they would die if they caught a cold. Now they can basically eat enough, and their life expectancy has been greatly extended. So she didn't understand why they kept fighting.

"It's not the lack of wealth that's worrying, but the inequality." Xiang Nan explained, "In the past, we were poor, and we were all poor together. Now one side is enjoying the good life, while the other side is eating coarse food. Although they can both be full, they are still uncomfortable."

Elizabeth nodded, "Hey, I wonder when we can stop fighting?"

"War is not all bad. War will greatly stimulate human imagination and the progress of science and technology." Xiang Nan smiled.

Computers, the Internet, atomic energy, missiles, aviation...many high-tech technologies were invented in war, and war is also the best way to release contradictions. Just like a couple, if they quarrel occasionally, their relationship will be better.

However, the war brought some trouble to the Mermaid Kingdom, because there were more submarines and ships on the seabed, which affected their ecology a little.

For this reason, Xiang Nan specially made a purification device for them, which can filter out wastewater, waste gas, and toxic waste in the sea, so that the ecology of the Mermaid Kingdom can be sustainable.

The Second World War lasted for ten years, during which more than 120 million soldiers died, more than 360 million civilians were affected, and economic losses exceeded 8 trillion US dollars.

The sad thing is that there were almost no winners in this war.

Britain, the United States, Germany, France, Russia, Italy and other countries suffered losses, and their wealth was almost wiped out. Britain, France, Germany, Italy and other countries were almost reduced to ruins.

London was bombed by more than 400 planes every night, dropping more than 1,000 tons of explosives and more than 3,000 tons of incendiary bombs at a time, causing most of the city of London to become ruins, and more than 200,000 people were killed and injured.

Even the United States was attacked, and New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington and other places were attacked by submarines, warships, and bombers, suffering a lot of losses.

However, taking advantage of the gap between the wars between European and American powers, some countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America got rid of foreign economic colonization and restored economic independence. Although they started a little late, being able to be economically independent is already the first step.

Influenced by them, more and more economic colonies began to seek independence. The old economic powers almost lost their wealth in this war, and no one got much advantage.

The backward countries took this opportunity to rise slowly. Although they started late and their pace was slow, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as they take the first step, the rest will be easy.

The world situation has undergone new and gratifying changes.

...

During the ten-year war, Xiang Nan's harvest was also quite large. He collected nearly 100 million souls alone.

This made his spirit stronger. Not only could his perception cover a radius of 5,000 miles, but his soul became more condensed after leaving his body, and his cognition of the world became clearer.

In his view, the whole world is composed of different elements. These elements are not elements in the chemical sense, but "earth, water, fire and wind" in the philosophical sense.

The ancient Egyptians, ancient Greeks, ancient Indians, ancient Babylonians, and even the ancient Middle-earth people all believed that the world was composed of several basic elements.

Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient India, and Ancient Babylon believed that there were four elements in the world, "earth, air, water, and fire", while the ancient Middle-earth people believed that all things were composed of five elements, "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth"...

Although not exactly the same, the meaning is basically similar.

After Xiang Nan's soul left his body, the world he saw was composed of several basic elements, but he did not know enough about these elements and could not understand their laws.

If Xiang Nan can see the truth of these laws in the future, he will be "attained".

"To explore the origin of the world, it should be what Taoists call 'refining the spirit and returning to the void', what Hindus call 'enlightenment', and what Buddhists call 'seeing the mind and nature'." Xiang Nan then speculated.

It's just that these laws are so complicated that it's so difficult to sort them out.

Xiang Nan is now like a Pentium computer, but he has to be responsible for big data computing. Even if the CPU is burned dry, he can't calculate it at all. I don't know how long it will take just to read the data.

Xiang Nan estimated that even if he swallowed another 10 billion souls, he might not be qualified to analyze the origin of the world.

"I have to say, it is indeed too difficult." Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh, "With such a huge amount of calculation, even a hundred brains would not be enough.

No wonder there is a saying that when humans think, God laughs. The intelligence is really too far apart. If God is a human, I am afraid that humans are just paramecium."
