Chapter 306: Fuller's Conjecture
As Jules. A loyal reader of Verne, Fuller knew almost all of his works by heart. www.biquge.info Of course, Fuller had a soft spot for Verne's book "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" from a young age, and he was deeply impressed by Verne's depiction of the rich underwater world.
Later, Fuller went to Paris to study law and became a commercial lawyer, and at that age and status, he would no longer believe that there was really such a lost civilization under the sea as he did when he was young.
Recently, however, it dawned on him that perhaps his favorite writer's depiction of the underwater world was not imaginary. Because in the Far East suddenly appeared an army of unknown origin and strong combat power, who claimed to be descendants of the rulers of the Chinese continent for hundreds of years. They have advanced technology and powerful weapons, but their system is closer to today's Western society, completely different from their ancestors, and this information reminds Fuller of Mr. Verne's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea".
When this formidable army claiming to be from the Great Song Empire appeared on the Liaodong Peninsula, Western society had different conjectures about this empire. Some of these conjectures are reliable and some are unreliable, but the mainstream theory is basically that the Great Song Empire was located on a large island that had not yet been discovered by adventurers, although there is still a lot of controversy about the location of this island.
However, Fuller, who has always had a big brain, has his own opinion, and he believes that the so-called Great Song Empire may not be located on a very large island, at least not the size of at least one-tenth of the size of the island of Great Britain, as most people suspect.
Those people's speculation about the size of the Great Song Empire is well-founded, and roughly speaking, in order to have a complete industrial system, you need to have enough resources to have enough land to accommodate many factories, including land to support the workers who work for these factories.
Scientists and accountants in Western societies estimated that even with advanced technology, the Great Song Empire would have to own a piece of land the size mentioned above in order to develop into its current state.
But Fuller didn't see it that way, and although there were still many places on the earth that humans had not set foot in, Fuller did not think that these unexplored places would be enough to hide an island the size of one-tenth of the island of Great Britain.
Perhaps, the development of such an advanced industrial system of the Great Song Empire does not require so much land, provided that the resources needed to develop those industries are not produced on the island where the Great Song Empire is located, then this empire will not have to have so much land as people think.
What if the Great Song people, who fled to the depths of the ocean for hundreds of years to escape the Mongols, discovered an underwater world similar to the ruins of Atlantis discovered by the Nautilus? What if that relic had a lot of resources readily available?
Then, this Great Song Empire may not need mines, and it does not need many things necessary for the development of industry in Western society now, and even many of the technologies in their hands come directly to that lost civilization.
However, Fuller's idea was not shared by too many people, and even Mr. Verne, the author of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", was not optimistic about his speculation. A few months ago, Fuller visited the ailing Verne, the "father of science fiction", who bluntly stated that for hundreds of years, the Great Song Dynasty would not be able to obtain a large amount of resources from the underwater ruins, and they could not rely on the wealth of a lost civilization to complete the initial construction of the industrial system.
Although his favorite writer denied his conjectures, Fuller stubbornly believed that his ideas were the closest to the truth.
When the employers' plan to go to the Song Empire on the grounds of applying for a pardon was about to be aborted, Fuller did not give up his plan to find the Great Song Empire. There is no other reason, the resources on the land of the Great Song Empire belong to the Great Song Dynasty, which is understandable, but the resources located in the relics of the lost civilization on the seabed cannot be regarded as owned by the Great Song Empire, in principle, all those who find the relics of this lost civilization have the right to a piece of the pie. Fuller also wants to be the one who finds the relics of this lost civilization, and by that time he will not only have countless riches, but also be famous all over the world for discovering this lost civilization.
"Let's take a look, this lawyer who specializes in commercial law, his brain is not ordinary, tsk, he actually guessed that our technology and materials came from another civilization, this is really the closest guess to the truth." Lu Xiaobei was distributing materials to every participant.
The crossers were still delaying their application for a pardon from the death penalty from the French, but they did not slack off in the investigation of their opponents, and soon Lu Xiaobei's military intelligence department obtained a lot of information about Fuller.
In the battle room of the green paint area of Thirty Mile Fort, the information in the hands of the traversal people recorded the information about Fuller in detail, including his remarks about the conjecture of the Great Song Empire.
"I'm rubbing, it's true, aren't our supplies from another unknown civilization. I don't know if it's from the bottom of the sea, but it's true that another civilization has provided us with supplies. A person who lived at the end of the nineteenth century can have this brain, I serve! Da Chen Yongqing said.
"Shall we go and kill this white skin?" Hao Dajian said.
"Don't mess around, I didn't see what the information says, this Fuller's statement has hardly been agreed by a few people, and you are going to do an assassination now to attract the attention of others." Lu Xiangyang said.
"Then what should I do, do you just let him beep outside all the time?" Hao Dajian shouted.
"Isn't he making a fuss about going to the Great Song Dynasty, then let him get his wish." Lu Xiaobei said.
"Let's take a look at my document first, this white skin is not safe." Wang He handed the document in his hand to the participants in the meeting.
The documents Wang distributed were surveillance reports from the Department of Homeland Security, which documented information about Fuller's interviews with several indigenous people in Dalian Bay. Originally, Wang He planned to forward this report to the anti-narcotics team of the police station, but after reading the information provided by Lu Xiaobei, he felt that this work still had to be handled by his own homeland security department.
"Hey, this is going to do something, and I made an appointment with a few ruffians! Anyway, why didn't the police station clean up those ruffians? Lu Xiaobei said.
"After clearing this batch, there will be the next batch, it is better to let this group of people who are more disciplined resist those who don't understand the rules to enter. How can we have the manpower to deal with the new ruffians in batches? Lu Xiangyang, who has worked as a policeman, is clear about this.
