Peiguo, Qian County.

It has been almost 50 years since the Chen Cao dispute, one of the overlords of the world who dominated the north in the past, after 50 years, the people of the world have almost changed a generation, and who can still remember this former overlord?

"What's your name?" Chen Mo looked at the sixty-year-old man in front of him and asked kindly: "The old man is looking for Cao Ang, Cao Zixiu, do you recognize him?" ”

"In Xia Cao Xing, Cao Ang is the father." Cao Xing looked at the old man in front of him with some doubts, and said with a slight bow: "My father died of illness a few years ago, I don't know if Mr. is ......."

"Zixiu is gone?" After Chen Mo was stunned for a long time when he heard this, he sighed silently, looked at Cao Xing and said, "The old man's name is Chen Mo, and he is close friends with your grandfather Meng De, have you heard of it?" ”

Cao Xing was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and silently saluted Chen Mo and said, "It turned out to be Taizu, disrespectful." ”

"What Taizu? I am worthy of your grandfather and brother, and I have a friendship of master and apprentice with your father, and you should call me a master according to your generation. Chen Mo shook his head and said, "The old man is here to see Brother Meng De, can you lead the way?" ”

Cao Xing nodded with a somewhat complicated expression, and took Chen Mo and his party to the ancestral tomb of the Cao family, where Cao Cao was buried.

"Fifty years~ You said you, what are you doing in such a hurry? Even if you don't die, you won't be able to live me. Chen Mo sat beside Cao Cao's tombstone with some effort, helped Cao Cao pour a cup of wine, and poured himself a drink, as if Cao Cao was still alive: "But I'm almost at the end, this is the first time to see you, and it may be the last time, in fact, I still don't understand too much, you can vote for Sun Quan's kid at the beginning, why don't you want to vote for me?" You and I have known each other for many years, but it's so difficult to be soft? You don't still hold a grudge against the arrow that shot you in the ass, do you? Haha~"

The three Chen Jin brothers and Cao Xing stood in the distance, looking at Chen Mo talking to himself alone, there was some inexplicable sadness in their hearts, the three of them, except for Chen Rui, Chen Jin and Chen Zheng are now over sixty years old? How much can I understand Chen Mo's loneliness and helplessness? There are fewer and fewer people in the older generation? Chen Mo now? In addition to his godson, most of the time he is studying something with Liu Yi and them? In addition to some lecturers in the academy, there are also many famous masters? Have you been doing things with Chen Mo all these years? As for what to do, Chen Jin doesn't know much, after he abdicates this time, he should gradually understand it in the future.

Maybe? That's the only fun for the elderly.

Chen Mo sat by Cao Cao's tomb until night? Only then did he get up and look at Cao Xing, who was standing aside, Chen Mo asked, "Before Zixiu left, did he leave a last word?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, my father left very peacefully." Cao Xing shook his head: "I didn't leave a last word." ”

"Past grievances? It's been many years, and in the future, let the descendants of the Cao family try to enter the academy? Listen to the words of the predecessors, and don't think too much about what you shouldn't hear? One should always live for the living. Chen Mo nodded.

"I understand below." Cao Xing nodded, in fact? Although Chen Mo didn't target the Cao family? But when Cao Ang was alive? The children of the Cao family resolutely did not enter the school, which also made the Cao family decline over the years, and it has long lost its original glory.

Chen Mo didn't say more, after all, his bond with the Cao family was mainly Cao Cao and Cao Ang, and now that both of them are gone, the next generation has nothing to do with Chen Mo.

After living in Qian County for two days, Chen Mo would go to Cao Cao's grave every day to talk to Cao Cao, and two days later, Chen Mo left and returned to Luoyang.

In the next few years, Chen Mo will not return to the palace, after all, Chen Jin is here, but Chen Min will take time to come to Beibi Mountain every year to see Chen Mo and Chen Jin, now the descendants of the Chen family are thriving, and the scale of this Beimang Academy is getting bigger and bigger.

Especially after Wu Yi, Yu Sheng, and Cui Geng passed away one after another, Chen Mo basically had no worries outside.

In the thirty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, in August, Chen Min, who had just gone down to the dynasty, was called to Beibi Mountain by Chen Mo, although he didn't know what the reason was, Chen Min did not hesitate, and hurriedly rushed to Beibi Mountain with people.

"Father." Chen Min saw Chen Jin first, and the atmosphere in today's academy was a little dignified.

"Let's go." Chen Jin nodded, and took Chen Min to Chen Mo: "Your grandfather has been waiting for a long time. ”

Chen Min didn't know why Chen Mo was looking for him, so he didn't ask much at the moment, and hurriedly followed Chen Jin to the back mountain of Beibi Mountain, and a strong humming sound could be heard from afar.

When Chen Min arrived at the back mountain, he saw a huge metal instrument in operation, a huge water tank, white gas came out from the top from time to time, the roar came from there, the water tank was driven by a series of metal mechanisms, in front, there was a blacksmith operating the machine, no one was turning, but the huge machine was running on its own, Chen Min was dumbfounded.

Although the Ming Dynasty has been constantly encouraging the development of craftsmen in recent years, and there have been all kinds of things among the people, Chen Min has never heard of this kind of mechanism that can move by himself.

"Grandfather, this is ......" Chen Min found Chen Mo, and saw Chen Mo commanding a group of craftsmen to use the huge instrument to make a long pipe, and under the operation of the instrument, in less than half an hour, a long pipe was made.

"In the past few decades, hundreds of skilled craftsmen from all over the world have worked together to make it!" Chen Mo looked at the huge steam engine, he gathered hundreds of craftsmen in the world, after all these years of continuous research and attempts, finally made the first steam engine, although it is only this one, it can't change anything, and there is no way to strengthen the country, but at least leave a seed for future generations, I hope that there will not be such a catastrophe again, at least under the catastrophe, Huaxia will not be so miserable, this is the only thing Chen Mo can leave for future generations now.

Chen Min nodded in amazement.

saw Chen Mo pick up a long metal pipe and buckle it in the distance.

"Bang~"

In Chen Min's stunned gaze, a wooden arrow target in the distance instantly split apart.

"Grandfather, this is ......"

"Artillery!" Chen Mo threw the long pipe to him and said: "Now it can shoot forty steps, relying on the gunpowder made a few years ago, within forty steps, people and animals will die, but there should be great room for improvement, but these will depend on the descendants." ”

Chen Min was shocked and speechless, his grandfather has been in Beibi Mountain for more than 30 years, what exactly has this created? Is this the power of the craftsman? It's horrible.

"I called you here today, it is for this matter, these two things, are the work of my father in the second half of his life and hundreds of ingenuity, and there are 18 Tianjilu, which will be handed over to you to take charge later, this world will develop without craftsmen, fortunately, this thing was created by me first, if other countries find it first, it will be a catastrophe for my Shenzhou, in addition, the steam engine can not only be used for this, there is a deduction of our etc., this thing can be used for sailing, rushing, weaving and so on.

"Erchen is here!" Chen Min hurriedly bowed and said.

"This day machine record, is the foundation of a strong country, the royal descendants must carefully study, this is the foundation of changing the times, but now is not the time to come out, can be controlled by the royal family first, can strengthen the royal family, the old man has not set any rules for you in his life, but today there is a left, that is, my Ming Dynasty is dead, but this day machine record must be passed on, future generations should remember." Chen Mo looked at Chen Min and said in a deep voice.

Chen Min looked at Chen Mo in amazement, Chen Mo did not leave any regulations for his children and grandchildren in his life, but he didn't expect that the first article would actually talk about things after the death of the country.

After being stunned for a long time, Chen Min nodded silently, and saluted Chen Mo: "Erchen remember." ”

"Go ahead, I have been sent to the palace by someone to record the heavenly machine, and I will print more, and each descendant of the Chen family must have a set, which will be passed down from generation to generation, and when the time is ripe, it can be circulated all over the world." Chen Mo smiled.

"The retainers obey." Chen Jin saluted Chen Mo respectfully, looked at the huge instrument, his brain was still blank, and he left in a daze.

After passing down the Tianji Record, Chen Mo dismissed the craftsmen, and these craftsmen were accepted into the Ministry of Industry by Chen Min, as for the later events, Chen Mo didn't care anymore, he didn't have much time left, and wanted to leave this last time with his only remaining wife.

In the thirty-eighth year of Kaiyuan, Sun Shangxiang finally passed away one step ahead of Chen Mo, so far, Chen Mo has no worries in the world, in the thirty-ninth year of Kaiyuan, it seems that he has a premonition that his limit is approaching, Chen Jin is in the thatched hut next to the graves of his wives and mothers on this day, and worships the system immortals for the last time, this time, he did not look at the future of the Ming Dynasty, nor did he look at the world deduction, he looked at the future of the human race this time, after the biography, Chen Mo still has some national fortunes, and they have not completely dispersed, 100,000 national fortunes, it is useless to keep them, Chen Mo wanted to see what the future of the Terran would be.

As the white mist dissipated and his consciousness regained consciousness, Chen Mo became a bystander's perspective again, silently watching the development of this world, and the Terran deduction seemed to be no different from the world deduction.

After his death, Chen Min did not change the name of the year, the three generations of the Chen family efforts, the Ming Dynasty entered an unprecedented prosperous era, Chen Min to Chen Mo founded the country in the first year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, set up the Kaiyuan calendar, since then, the generations to Kaiyuan to calculate the year number.

Chen Mo set up a good tradition, Chen Min was sixty years old, he felt unwell, passed on the throne to his son, the fourth son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty in the accumulation of the first three generations, further began to try to use the steam engine in various industries, Chen Mo's steam engine began to be used in the military industry since the sixty-third year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

In the seventy-eighth year of Kaiyuan, artillery began to be implemented in the army, when the fourth Son of Heaven passed the throne, artillery has been widely used, and the fifth Son of Heaven began, focusing on the promotion of steam engines to the people to strengthen people's livelihood.

In the eighty-sixth year of Kaiyuan, the first steel warship built by a steam engine appeared on the shore of the East China Sea, one hundred and seven years of Kaiyuan, with the explosion of productivity, the railway began to appear on the map of the Ming Dynasty, the fifth son of heaven did not follow the practice of his predecessor, until the time of his death, he passed the throne to his son, and the Ming Dynasty appeared a small-scale real dang, but Chen Mo's sixth grandson was really good, amazing, overwhelmed the ministers, quickly controlled the power of the dynasty, and inherited his father's will, continued to promote the use of the steam engine, and opened up the importance of the opening of new fields.

At this time, craftsmen have begun to be respected.

In the 127th year of Kaiyuan, with the completion of railways, the Ming Dynasty began to truly enter the steam age, and at the same time, the ships of the Ming Dynasty also began to explore new sea areas.

In the 136th year of Kaiyuan, the sea routes opened up by the Ming Dynasty gradually spread all over the world, and trade with the Western Great Qin, Great Xia and other places was established one after another, and a large number of materials that were not available in Middle-earth were introduced into the Ming Dynasty, and the use of electricity was gradually mastered.

In the 197th year of Kaiyuan, with the birth of the first generator, the development speed of the Ming Dynasty began to accelerate, but at the same time, people began to be dissatisfied with this feudal centralized system, especially in the distribution of resources, it is clear that craftsmen are an important reason for the development of the times, but even after so many years, the social status is still the weakest of the five departments, and even the Ministry of Rites is above the Ministry of Industry.

Moreover, as the population increased and new cities were built, the old county system began to fail to keep up with the times.

And six generations later, the great tomorrow has long since ceased to follow Chen Mo's inheritance method at that time, after all, Chen Mo did not set this rule, and the reason why later generations followed it was also to recognize this method, but human nature is always selfish, especially in the eighth generation, after his father passed on the throne, he was mistreated by his son and died, which also made this inheritance method completely cut off, and the result was that the Son of Heaven began to be inferior to the next generation.

Social contradictions began to be serious, the uneven distribution of resources and the dissatisfaction of the people's hearts were accumulating, but the ability of the Son of Heaven was far inferior to that of the first king, and even the Beibishan Academy was abandoned.

In this way, nearly a hundred years passed, to the two hundred and eighty-sixth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the royal family gradually lost control of various places, in the three hundred and seventh years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the warlords had become a separatist situation, and the Great Ming Dynasty had a population of nearly 600 million at that time, and the war finally broke out, this war lasted for nearly fifty years, and in the third and fourth years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the war gradually ended, a new political system was formed, and the Ming Dynasty existed in name only, but because Chen Mo left the ancestral teachings, Tianjilu was spread all over the world, and the reunified ruler was grateful for the seeds left by Chen Mo. He has made great contributions to the world, and has not got rid of the royal family, but has retained the reputation of the royal family with a new form of government, but the royal family does not participate in governing the country, and retains the Kaiyuan calendar chronology, and the world has entered a new era, which is different from any situation that Chen Mo saw last time, which not only tolerates capitalism, but also restricts the barbaric growth of capital.

It is still the same as Confucianism, but there have been new changes, and the status of workers has also been recognized the greatest in this change.

After this battle, the Ming Dynasty regained its vitality and actually won the country for three hundred and forty-seven years, which is already good for Chen Mo.

The Ming Dynasty, which had undergone changes, began to enter an era of ideological blowouts, with airplanes, telephones, and televisions gradually appearing and constantly innovating in the next hundred years.

The Ming Dynasty in the year 438 of the Kaiyuan Dynasty was no different from the developed civilization when Chen Mo deduced the world before, and it was nearly a thousand years earlier than the emergence of Western industrial civilization when it was last deduced.

"To be able to enter the industrial revolution in advance when the West or the feudal system is not perfect, I have to say that the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty has made great contributions!" In the 477th year of Kaiyuan, Chen Mo's consciousness appeared in an interview variety show in Luoyang, which happened to explain the history, which made him a little curious to stop and see what to say.

"Ming Taizu Chen Mo, everyone is familiar with the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, but if it is just like this, it is just like the Han Dynasty, ending the troubled times, in terms of the world, it is not a great achievement, the real merit is Tianjilu!"

"It's really hard to imagine, when the Ming Taizu in the whole social ideology was still paying attention to the agriculture and industry, he had foreseen the power of science, and gathered the world's skilled craftsmen, it took more than 30 years to build the first steam engine, and left the Tianji Record, which many people may not have read, this is an almost dry book, almost predicted the direction of scientific and technological development in the next five hundred years, and even predicted the use of electricity, we can have today's strong China, Ming Taizu has made great contributions, and the Ming Dynasty can still enjoy privileges today, It is precisely because of this that Taizu pointed out the direction for all mankind. ”

"Teacher, recently some Western historians believe that Ming Taizu can only be regarded as an inventor, but he can dominate the whole country, in order to demonstrate that our military level at that time was insufficient, if there was a Western army in the Ming Dynasty at that time, it may not be the East but the West that may lead the world, what do you think about this?"

"I'll sit and watch."

“……”

"What has happened is actually no if, and everyone only knows that Ming Taizu is an inventor, but no one knows that before living in seclusion in Beibi Mountain, Ming Taizu conquered the world for more than 30 years, and fought fiercely with the princes at that time, starting from a prefecture-level city, all the way to the top of the world, he left a book in his life in addition to Tianjilu, there are not many poems, but a polemic, you should have learned in middle school, in terms of literary attainments alone, not to mention how high, but at that time it was definitely the best batch, but he paid more attention to hard work, As for the war, let's not boast, in terms of the way of war and the level of weapons, not to mention whether the West has the ability to bring the army to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, you know, it took 50 years between the first steel steamship and the discovery of the American continent, so the problem itself is not valid, and even if it is a fight, I don't think that there are few defeats in a lifetime, and Taizu, who uses soldiers like gods, will lose. ”

Interesting~

Looking at this scene, Chen Mo smiled, didn't pay attention anymore, time continued to advance, with the development of science and technology, by the time of the first millennium, Daming had begun to gradually explore into space.

But just like a barrier, after nearly a thousand years of time, continue to explore the starry sky, but the footsteps of human beings are still difficult to get out of the solar system, there seems to be an invisible force in the limit, Kaiyuan 1895, the astronauts who landed on the moon finally broke through the hard crust of the moon, but found that the inside of the moon is empty, the hard crustal layer, more like the shell of an abandoned spaceship.

And immediately after, a strange virus was brought to the earth with the return of astronauts, a disaster spread to the world, human beings became zombies, and the civilization established for 2,000 years was destroyed in an instant with this virus.

Fifty years later, less than one percent of humanity has survived.

Chen Mo looked at this scene and was speechless for a while, the future of the human race is so short? This was unacceptable to him.

Large and small survivor bases appeared in various places, and Chen Mo's consciousness wandered among these survivors, as if there was an inexplicable traction, he was dragged to an independent personal laboratory, where he saw another self, a person exactly like his younger self, who was manipulating a large number of instruments.

The other self, who was fiddling with the instrument, seemed to realize it and looked up at himself: "You're finally back." ”

“？” Chen Mo frowned, the other party could actually detect himself?

The next moment, an inexplicable suction force suddenly surged, and Chen Mo felt that his consciousness flew towards the other party uncontrollably, and then submerged into the other party's body......
