Chapter 669: Subjective Chance
When Lin Ye came out of the shipyard, it was already late at night, and he spent the whole day discussing various technical issues at eight feet. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He is well aware that history has inevitability, and that inevitability needs to be triggered by a contingency, such as in the era in which he lives now.
It is certainly impossible to build an airplane, but if it is a steam engine and a railway, it is completely feasible, and the existing technology meets this condition.
What is lacking is nothing more than a fortuitous trigger, like the first Taoist priest who made alchemy by accident by putting saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal together in the right proportions.
After triggering a small explosion, gunpowder came into being, whether it was saltpeter or sulfur or charcoal, these are all inherently there, which is a historical inevitability, but to put these things together to trigger the result, it takes countless contingencies to have the right one.
Obviously, Lin Ye is to do this accidental with subjective will, and use the existing technical conditions to continuously upgrade and develop.
With the progress of the times, the improvement of education, and the emergence of more and more talents, the miracle continent that has a long history will be upgraded explosively in technology, just like the world in which he was once active, after the precipitation accumulated by human society for thousands of years has reached a critical point.
The period of rapid development brought about by the industrial revolution has made a qualitative leap in the whole era in two hundred years, and the productivity has greatly exceeded the accumulation of the previous two thousand years, and when the industrial revolution has come to a critical point again, after the outbreak of war, the post-war period of high-speed development has been triggered again.
After a short buffer, the productivity in just 20 years will be more than the previous 200 years combined, and the renewal cycle is getting faster and faster.
"What I'm doing now is to artificially create this tipping point, and then let the world explode to grow? Thinking about the next few decades, I really don't know whether to be excited or afraid, maybe the first person to trigger the industrial revolution is also like me, not necessarily?"
"Or maybe there was a certain time-traveler in the era when I was active, and then forcibly raised the level of the whole era, if there was such a person, I really wanted to talk to him, but this is just a hypothesis after all, and the future can only be judged subjectively. ”
Lin Ye looked up at the crescent moon above his head, and he could smell the gust of sea breeze blowing from the sea on the harbor, with a little bit of unique sea smell.
"Forget it, how can there be so many perfections in this world, I want to do everything well, and in the end I often can't do anything well, aside from being a traveler, I know more, and my luck is a little bit better, I'm just an ordinary person, why do I have to ask for it like a saint?"
He smiled self-deprecatingly, the waves crashing on the shore, the lights still coming from the shipyard, and the energetic Eight Feet still working all night.
Most of the rest of the port is already asleep, as it's not a modern city and doesn't have as much nightlife to enjoy.
"My lord, you're finally busy, won't you have dinner again? You're still young, you can't keep tossing your body like this. ”
When Crouff saw Lin Ye coming out of the shipyard, he immediately greeted him, originally he also wanted to wait in the shipyard, but Eight Feet thought he was in the way.
Punched him out, plus he had other things to do, and when he was busy several times, he wanted to go to the shipyard to find out.
But he had already been blacklisted by Eight Feet, and the workers of the shipyard rushed outside when they saw him, and he could only paced outside.
"For dinner, why don't you go to that place, if I'm not mistaken, he should be here, and he shouldn't have slept now. ”
Lin Ye touched his stomach, he and Bachi were busy all day, during which it seemed that someone did bring food, but they ignored it.
At this time, being reminded by Crouff like this, he finally remembered this incident, and the sound of "cooing" came out of his stomach at the right time.
"Well, that place? So, sir, which place are you talking about? Why don't I understand a little, sir, you wait for me. ”
Crouff didn't understand what he meant, and he didn't know who he was referring to, so he had to chase after him.
After a busy day, the leaves quickly disappeared into the night, and they knocked on the door of a wooden house in the harbor that was still lit.
At this time, the Far East was bathed in a soft moonlight, and so was the royal capital thousands of miles away, and even in the middle of the night, somewhere in the city was still brightly lit.
After several years of civil war, the royal capital has finally stabilized, even though rumors of various border instability have been spreading rapidly in the city recently.
But people's reaction after receiving the news was only "Oh, is there a war on the border?" and there was not much shock or turmoil.
After all, even the area around the royal capital has been fighting for several years, and they are already numb to the border or something, who have experienced the war.
"Is there another war? It sounds dangerous, but no matter how dangerous and difficult it is, we have survived it, so what are we afraid of?"
"That's right, and isn't there a duke, there was news that he was commanding the battle in Stormwind Fortress before, absolutely no problem. ”
"He can defeat even such a powerful elven army, let alone other opponents, peace won't be too far away from us, right?"
People always talk about it, but after the civil war, the empire's national power suffered a heavy drain, and the population of the royal capital was reduced by a third.
A large number of chambers of commerce and shops have closed, and even the lights at night are much dimmer, and only the palace can still remain bright.
At this time, someone stood in the tower of the palace and prayed secretly to the crescent moon in the sky, wearing an ornate crown, which had only recently been made by craftsmen.
After all, the new emperor has to have a new crown to match her when he ascends the throne, not to mention that this emperor is still a woman, and it needs to be tailor-made.
There is naturally only one person who can have such treatment, that is, Wendy, the current female emperor of the empire, a strange girl who was once lawless and petite in the royal capital, is now slim, and the whole person exudes a sacred and solemn temperament, but that is when dealing with government affairs during the day.
At this time, after she took off the crown, what was the difference between her and an ordinary girl? After all, she was only seventeen or eighteen years old.
"I don't know what happened to you, the only thing I can do for you is to stay here, I really envy that guy Miria, at least, at least she can keep a silent eye on you, and I can only watch from afar. ”
The girl pinned her thoughts on the moonlight, but she didn't know when she would be able to respond to her.
