To Four Thousand Years Later

Probably this is considered to have taken Morris under his control. Charles looked at the closed door and sighed silently.

Damn, Morris just surprised him. He was so self-taught that he quickly figured out the derivative.

I'm afraid it's not about exposing the calculus drum before the millennium AD. Add the steam engine that I will make, and what will the world be like in the next life. Charles himself had lost count.

But, I asked Morris to come over to help me get the gunpowder weapon out, huh? Charles sighed again, feeling that the matter was very difficult.

Morris on this world line seems to have made up his mind to study mathematics. I don't know if he still has military talents, or if he can help him expose gunpowder weapons. It depends on his mood. Charles decided not to force Morris to help him with the experiment for the time being. Perhaps for him, bringing derivatives and calculus to this world in advance, even for one of the balance mechanisms of the steam engine, it is a genius not to be one step ahead of the times, but a madman to be ten steps ahead. Charles can foresee that if he invents the steam engine, it will definitely change the appearance of the whole world and correct what is foreseeable first. The mode of transportation will be fully upgraded. Moreover, it will completely improve life skills, change the way of life from workshops to factories, and allow the rapid development of production relations. Production relations are a social form of productivity—since it is a social form, there must be a shadow of the past. The birth of the steam engine will change the production relationship, move forward, and begin to operate.

Gradually overcome the shadow of the past. From 900 years ago to the present, as the great artisans produced by Soloism have gradually improved the existing life, people's useless labor has gradually decreased. And because of the close geographical relationship between the many countries divided by Rome, it is very easy for big countries to annex small countries, so the war does not last long.

People can have a full stomach in their daily life, and wars are not frequent, which directly promotes the development of science, literature and art. The Zoroastrians in the East are more like a bond and an external stimulus, making the human beings of this era more civilized and progressive than in the past. But this does not mean that the wisdom of the people has been developed, and the time has come for people to enter a new generation. What worried Charles the most was that he had to invent not only the steam engine, but also gunpowder weapons. 495

If the former is the impetus to reshuffle the existing social structure, the latter is an extremely violent catalyst.

He was very worried that if Frank got the steam engine and muskets, he might start a world-class war of aggression—that would be contrary to his idea of ​​being cautious and maintaining balance. If the relative peace of all countries cannot be maintained before the completion of globalization, then human beings will not be able to obtain racial characteristics without hatred, and naturally it will be impossible to achieve consciousness uploading or mind synchronization. The unit is not regarded as a complete race and its internal branches, but is regarded as independent and unconnected, equal or unequal multi-races that only live on a planet. Even if a federation is formed, it is very easy to form internal disagreements, not to mention linking the will of all people together to become a golden human.

However, even though Charles knew that he should avoid this future, he was still not very clear on how to keep the world-class system from spawning such missions while inventing gunpowder weapons and steam engines ahead of time. It shows that this task is from a macro perspective. It is beneficial to promote human development. For example, the merger of Rome, Tire and Egypt before can already see good results.

perhaps. Popularizing these two technologies is one way. But if it is not handled properly, it will become the first generation of split-tailed beasts. If the social sciences do not develop, the natural sciences will develop too fast and become a disaster. If a certain empire possesses great power that is almost invincible, but does not have the morality, wisdom, and will to control the power, it can be said that it will almost certainly flourish and decline, and completely collapse from within. But in the first half of this prosperity, it will destroy many civilizations that are equally valuable and have the potential to exist—taking all human beings as the benchmark, this is a kind of retrogression.

Such is the history of mankind. Unless science and technology form a generational gap. Otherwise civilization tends to wave barbaric conquests. And it will take a lot of time for these barbarians to develop into civilization.

Charles was not a Social Darwinist. He believes that a declining civilization is not necessarily backward, and this situation in which barbarism is better than civilization can actually avoid it, and he has been trying to do it. Preventing the Germanic barbarians from invading Rome was part of it, and preventing the downfall of the Tang Dynasty was also his next task.

Flat, peaceful. Really sitting on this seat, he realized that the arrival of peace is so hard-won. This is especially true before people have fully experienced the pain of war.

The people fear war, but yearn for victory, especially the nobles. If he takes steps to strengthen his rule, he will stop the development of technology and civilization.

"It would be nice if human beings could have a common foreign enemy.

Charles Sigher.

That should be the best possibility.

If there is a foreign enemy. under its oppression. Humanity will unite very easily. It's like metal being bonded together under external force.

"Your Majesty Morris has already arranged it. Everything is regulated according to what you said before. Phoenix opened the door and walked in, asking curiously: Speaking of which, what were you thinking about just now?"

"I'm thinking about serious questions about world peace

Charles smiled, and said with a smile: Hearing this, Phoenix couldn't help being amused: "Yes, Your Majesty. That is really a very important decision.

Ask me about you, Phoenix. "

Charles moved in his heart and asked, "What kind of decision do you think can maintain the longest balance? Or, what kind of political situation can best avoid a full-scale war?" Phoenix scratched his chin in distress, and said casually : "However, according to the situation of warriors fighting each other, it should be the situation where both sides can kill each other.

"If one person has a weapon, others have no weapon. He will inevitably bully the weak; if many people have weapons, but the difference in martial arts skills is huge, they may also fight for the first place. Only among them It’s common sense to maintain a balance when the gap is small, right?”

Phoenix looked at Charles, and continued after he nodded: "Three people are always more stable than four people. And two people are more stable than three people. If two or three people are evenly matched, she hesitated and said tentatively. : "I think they probably won't start fighting, right? ‘Charles was slightly taken aback, nuclear deterrence? "

He murmured, lost in thought:

"No, it's nothing. Charles shook his head, showed a gentle smile, and put away the drawings of the simple steam engine: "I have some ideas. "

Nix glanced at the blueprint and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

"It's a miracle that changes the world. It's a miracle that changes the world," Charles said.
