Chapter 120: Continue to spread knowledge
Fusu continued: "You haven't seen it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, you don't know these countries, it's the transportation problem, no one wants to go out to explore, Rome is indeed far away from here, the Mauryan Dynasty is relatively close, I believe you will know one day." ”
The reason why Fusu wants to teach them a lesson is to tell them that the world is very big, and they should go out to see it, and not be idle in this so-called world.
Only when people have foresight, expand their knowledge, know how big the world is, and know how small they are, can they have a heart, a patriotic heart, and unite the people to be invincible.
Before the Ming Dynasty, they had never seen any foreigners, so China was very lonely in the previous history, and there was no higher ideal when it was strong.
There are really good and bad, since others know the Ming Dynasty, the corresponding technology has also been spread abroad, and finally it was developed by others, and finally there are guns and cannons, and their own things will not be as powerful as others.
The door of the country has been opened, and there is a history of humiliation, and there will be good and bad, which is difficult to accept.
Some of them can't accept it, in their opinion, in addition to the Xiongnu, it seems that there are other countries in the world, except for the Xiongnu, how can there be other countries?
Listening to Fusu's words, the strength of the other party is not bad, some are called empires, some are called dynasties, it seems that they are all big countries, or they are really too far away, so no one has been there, so naturally there has been no news of other countries.
"Is this Mauryan dynasty big?" Tianming couldn't help but ask.
They don't know a lot of what Fusu said, and it can be said that they have hardly heard of it, and today is the first time, and their understanding of the world has taken a step forward.
Fusu said: "It's almost the same as our current world, the key is that there is no war yet, and Rome is the same, it can be said that now these countries want to destroy the entire Qin State, it is easy." ”
Isn't it?
The current Qin State is already in turmoil, like a boat in the rapids, which is likely to be overturned at any time, and the current Qin State really does not have the strength to fight the capital of the Mauryan Empire.
If it has been external, it is no problem, but now there are anti-thieves all over the world, if someone invades, there is no reaction at all, I am afraid that it will be taken down by others!
It's a little far away, or the Mauryan Dynasty doesn't know that there is such a big country in the east, otherwise, I'm afraid it will have to raise troops!
The strength of the Mauryan Empire could not be compared with the Qin State at all, and the Roman Empire was the same, as can be seen from the previous battles, the number of people was not enough, and in the end it was 100,000 people.
It is like the land of the Central Plains, there are hundreds of thousands of people at every turn, and the number of people killed in a battle is more than the troops invested by these countries, and it can be said that the Qin State won a complete victory.
The Mauryan Empire, also known as the ancient Indian "Magadha Kingdom", was a famous slave dynasty named after its founder, Chandragupta, who was born into a family that kept peacocks.
How this dynasty was formed, the Moon Protector drove out the remnants of the Greeks in the Punjab and gradually conquered most of North India, and later in his reign the Moon Protector repelled the invasion of the Seleucid Empire and gained dominion over Afghanistan.
During the reign of Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century B.C., Buddhism flourished and began to spread outward.
After Ashoka's death, his son became independent, and Andula, who had been semi-independent within the empire, also declared independence in the south.
The Mauryan Empire continued to rule in the Ganges Valley for about 50 years, and the Mauryan Empire officially ended in about 187 BC when the last king of the Mauryan Empire was killed by his minister Pushamidoro Sunga.
The Qin State can still fight with this dynasty now, that is, there are still 300,000 people in Fusu, but unfortunately it is impossible for people to invade, and they don't know that there is a place called Qin State.
If there were any networks or the like in ancient times, I am afraid that these countries would not be able to sit still and want to compete and expand their territory.
Xun said: "Are these countries so strong? ”
The reason why Fusu wants to say that he is stronger is that he has his intentions, so that they can have a little crisis and know how big this world is.
Fusu said: "Of course, in the current world, you have also seen it, don't say that this dynasty invaded, that is, we let the Xiongnu invade, I believe that we will be able to capture a few counties soon." ”
The strength of the Xiongnu has not yet recovered, it is impossible to touch the Central Plains, and there are 300,000 troops in Shangjun, if the Xiongnu want to invade, they must pass this hurdle, they do not have the courage.
A few people agreed very much, if there is an alien invasion now, it can be said that it will be caught off guard, and if there are more people on the other side, it will not be as simple as a few counties!
Tianming said: "It seems to look at these countries you said." ”
Tianming is very yearning, the more curious he is, the more he wants to know, look at the people of those countries, what is the difference between them and the Central Plains?
Fusu said: "It is possible to see, let me tell you, in addition to the yellow-skinned people, there are also white-skinned and dark-skinned people, blonde and blue-eyed aliens." ”
All along, everyone has seen yellow-skinned people, as for dark-skinned and white-skinned people, they have not imagined it at all, they have not seen it, and they have imagined it.
Gai Nie said: "There are still such people in the world, it's incredible. ”
Fusu said: "Of course there is, the world is so big, there are no surprises, many things can not be imagined, take the sea as an example, do you know how big it is?" ”
Xun said: "What is the sea?"
Fusu said: "It is ten million times larger than the lake, so to speak, seventy percent of the whole world is water, which means that the sea accounts for fifty or sixty percent." ”
"This doesn't sound very easy to understand, so let's take the ant as an analogy, the mountains and rivers of the world are a whole, and the ants are a whole, and the comparison between the two is the same as when you compare the world with the sea, you sound a little exaggerated."
"But I believe that one day you will understand that our world is like an ant, you throw it in a city, and then you look at it in the sky, you can't see it at all, just to tell you that the world is very big, so big that you can't imagine it."
Xun Jing sighed: "Alas! Hearing your words, I feel like I've lived for decades in vain. ”
Giving such an exclamation, Fusu felt that it was normal, they were already very calm and powerful, just take studying geography when they were children, knowing that the world is so big, they don't want to see it.
But there are 100,000 whys?
Fusu said: "When science and technology are developed and your horizons are broadened, it is really rare for you to be so calm." ”
Xun said: "What is this day like?"
Fusu said: "It's not that the sky is round and the earth is round, and the sky is not square, but we see it differently, or the reference is different, because we don't stand in the sky and look at the whole ground, so you think the earth is square." ”
"It's all our own perception, it's not really time, for example, do you think the sun is closer to us in the morning, or is it near us at noon?"
Fusu said a good example after that, in fact, there was no change, just an intuitive feeling of people, causing this kind of cognition.
When a few people heard Fusu's question, they began to think about it, and they had a sense of déjà vu between the two children.
