It's going to be on the shelves at twelve o'clock at noon tomorrow, and although it's not the first time it's been on the shelves, I can't help but feel a little nervous and apprehensive.

After all, every book is a new beginning, a new story, and a new experience.

Although it is not the first time to write history, it is indeed the first time to write about the Victorian era.

To be honest, I had a lot of discussions with my editor-in-charge, Canaan, before the book was launched, and I am very grateful to him for inspiring and helping me with the story.

In fact, at the beginning, I originally planned to write a fantasy story set in the Victorian era.

But as I prepared for the opening of the book more and more, I read more and more related books, and finally found that even if I didn't change the background, it was already wonderful to create directly from the historical background of the Victorian era.

This is the current book "Shadow of Great Britain".

In A Brief History of Mankind, the author divides human history into stages and divides them into three landmark events.

The first was a cognitive revolution that began in ancient times and ended with the victory of Homo sapiens over Neanderthals and many other races with higher organizational skills.

The second is the agricultural revolution that began 10,000 years ago, which changed the way of human production, from gathering and hunting to sedentary agriculture based on farming, and the dotted city-state was established on this basis, and the fire of civilization began to appear. Slavery, feudalism, centralization...... Various forms of social organization appeared one after another, and all kinds of imperial kingdoms sang and I took the stage.

The third is the Industrial and Technological Revolution that began 200 years ago, and to be honest, there is still a debate in the academic community about why the Industrial Revolution was first started on the isolated island of the United Kingdom. Some say it's the accumulation of colonial plunder, some say that Britain was the first to establish a constitutional monarchy, some say it's because of Britain's naval and trade traditions, and still others say that the Industrial Revolution was purely a coincidence.

I can't figure out why, I can't figure it out, I can only try my best to show you a corner of that era through my personal understanding of this era.

Of course, my perspective is not representative of that era.

Here, again, to quote Marcus Aurelius's famous quote – everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

I hope to entertain you while providing you with a perspective, as for what you can see from this perspective, that is the ability of readers and friends.

Well, with all that nonsense out of the way, it's time to talk about the issue of putting on the shelves.

Here, I would like to thank all readers and friends for their collections, recommendations, voting, and rewards, as well as the chapter push of the old wolf and the magic melon, thank you very much.

On the shelves, of course, subscriptions are still required, and tomorrow on the shelves, first ask for a first order.

Tomorrow's update should be five more, and then the update frequency of three updates will be maintained every day.

The rule of adding a change is that the first order on the shelves is more than 3,000, and every 1,000 additional orders will be added, and every 1,000 monthly passes will be added.

The alliance leader adds a change, the silver alliance or something, and so on.

In addition, just now I troubled the operation officer of this book, Gargamel, to help build a book friend group, and the group number is in the author's words and introduction, and you can enter with 100 fans if you vote for a monthly ticket.

Finally, thank you again for your support, tomorrow at 12 o'clock at noon, if you have time, you must come to order a first order, thank you on your knees!
