Can you live forever

Chapter 151 Train Tracks, Technological Explosion
"choke--"

The moment he set foot on Zhoushan Island, the Celestial Master's sword moved.

Zhang Zhixiang raised his eyes to the sky, and saw the demonic aura in a daze. The demonic aura spread its teeth and claws, as if the whole island had turned into a monster...

In a trance, the memory returned to the previous life.

When he was still young, before he went to seek medical treatment from Taoist Zhang Zhishun, his father took him everywhere to seek medical treatment. He visited both the imperial capital and the devil capital. Perhaps it was a coincidence that every time he entered the city, it was at night.

Looking at the steel jungle under the neon lights in the dark is like looking at a terrifying monster.

Every time, he was terrified.

But he never said it out, because his father had an expression of hope on his face. After checking one by one, and after various machine checks, when the doctor told his father that "it can't be cured", the disappointment on his father's face, and leaving Zhang Zhixiang frowns when he checks his deposit balance and loans when he is in the city. Even if he is a man in two lifetimes, Zhang Zhixiang is still impressed.

"This is a man-eating monster..."

He murmured, and the demonic atmosphere dissipated in a trance, only showing a bustling and bustling city, dazzling treasures from all over the world, almost every few steps, there is a street stall, different ethnic groups, They are all shouting Chinese with a strange accent and selling.

Zhoushan has a population of one million, but half of them are of different races.

This is money heaven.

People try every means to earn more money. In a materialistic world, morality no longer exists.

Thieves, liars, robbers, everywhere.

Because the guards of the Wang family have distinctive features, there is no one who is not open-eyed to provoke them.Passing through the market at the port, the sky bridge and railroad tracks were in front of me. I stood at the station and waited. After a while, the sound of sirens came from the west.

Accompanied by the sound of the train running, a steam train slowly stopped on the platform.

Zhoushan actually has a railway around the island.

The overwhelming sense of the times made Zhang Zhixiang even more dazed.

With the open doors, there is no need to buy a ticket to get on and off the train. You can sit on the train and watch the train slowly move forward. Zhang Zhixiang did not expect that they would push the technology to this level in just ten years.

Wang Zhi sat opposite.

He looked at Zhang Zhixiang's astonishment, and said: "All technology starts from the actual needs first, and only when there is a need, will we study the technology. Once there is a technology, after in-depth research in this field, we can sum up experience and then draw conclusions. theory."

"When we practice martial arts and Taoism, we all talk about mental methods, so since ancient times, we have all had the habit of summarizing theories."

"And the Mohists did this kind of thing the first time."

"As far as technology is concerned, every family must cherish their own broom, for fear that if it spreads out, they will have no food to eat, and the Mohist School has integrated hundreds of thousands of technical workers as early as the Warring States period."

"With the strict organizational discipline of Mohism, in order to better spread technology and cultivate technology."

"It is necessary to integrate all the technologies, and a special person is responsible for summarizing and summarizing, and introducing new ones, and then educating newcomers."

"Adhering to the core concept of 'Tianzhi', the Mohists can be accurate to numbers, so they will not express ambiguously, and must summarize the theory with the most objective and accurate description."

"The steam engine appeared because Zheng He's voyages required new power, larger steel giant ships, and global voyages during Zheng He's voyages."

"Steam engine technology has existed since the Yongle period, and the theory has naturally been summarized."

"In Zhoushan, we merchants are just shareholders, and the Mojiao is the 'treasurer'. Whether it is the Zhoushan shipyard, the arsenal, or the machinery factory, it is all run by the Mojiao. According to the theory we already have, it is estimated that there has been More advanced technical reserves."

"It's just that Mojiao didn't take it out."

"Of course, we also have related theories in Yizhou's shipyard and machinery factory, but the description framework may be different, and we don't have such a deep technical reserve."

Not only the Wang family, but the entire Ming Dynasty, basically everyone who can eat enough will read books.

But only more than 3 scholars are admitted every year, and the life expectancy of people is limited. Basically, the number of scholars existing at the same time is only a million, and there are only a million scholars in Ming Dynasty?

This is not the Qing Dynasty where 99% were illiterate!
In Daming, educating the common people and having a high literacy rate were counted as political achievements. The more schools there were, the better the political achievements. Even tenants would send their children to learn how to read and write. Whenever possible, they had to study and take the imperial examinations!
Because the imperial examination is the only way out.

In Daming, there are at least 3000 to [-] million scholars. With so many people, they can't even pass the exam for scholar. Are they not employed?Can't take the imperial examination, does it mean that IQ is not enough?

neither!
It is nonsense to say that there were no scholars in ancient times to participate in the technical summary, and that in ancient China there was only technology but no science!As soon as later generations said that the capital sprouted in Ming Dynasty, they would never admit that Ming Dynasty was prosperous in business.

The bottom line is that, in order to pursue profits, what methods can't be used?

You read sage books, don't you want to engage in technology?accountant?How can I use so many accountants? I don’t feel at ease if I don’t use my own person as the accountant. If I want to get a job, find a way to make better products for me!
thus.

In all walks of life, there are a large number of scholars. Because they failed to pass the imperial examination, they are forced to engage in related industries for their livelihood. After decades, these scholars have not concluded anything, which is surprising.

When later generations talked about the Xiluo people, they talked about logic and so on, saying that the Xiluo people had theories.

Theory appeared before technology, which may be considered common sense in later generations, because it is true at the levels of theoretical mathematics and theoretical physics, but what about at the beginning of science?
When laying the foundation, it is natural to have technology before theory.

In addition, Mohism also has the basic theory. As early as in the Warring States period, Mozi said, "If you take a stick of one foot, take half of it every day, and it will last forever." What is this?This is the limit.

Mozi also said: "Strength is the reason why punishment is vigorous."

Some people always think that the word "Xing" is a fake character and should be related to "shape", but in fact, what Mozi wants to express is the concept that force is the cause of action similar to slashing.

For example, there are also theories such as "force, weight is called down, and weight is also vigorous." These theories.

Of course, if you insist that Mozi has no formulas, these are not counted, they can only be regarded as philosophy, but Mozi separates gravity from mass, and what needs to be found is just a coefficient.

This cannot be regarded as a preliminary step of theoretical research, but can only be regarded as philosophy, which is quite interesting.

After all, Chinese characters are not science.

The Mohism did inherit the most advanced technology of the Mohist school, but the thinking logic of the Mohist school has long been integrated into the Chinese civilization. Therefore, whenever a unified dynasty, the technology of the Chinese civilization is the most advanced in the world.

Zhu Di also had the ability to edit the "Yongle Canon". In the most prosperous age, because the entire civilization provided a complete "industrial system", the technology could even surpass the Mohist religion.

In fact.

If the Ming Dynasty can develop smoothly, there is no need for those technologies in the hands of Mojiao, because there is no difference between Mojia and Mojiao, but unfortunately, there is no such thing as wishful thinking in this world.

The gentry is a hurdle that Daming cannot get around.

This is an endogenous contradiction belonging to Chinese civilization, and it must have existed since Qin Shihuang unified the world and established the Guanliao monarchy.

The dragon slaying technique to solve this problem will not appear until more than 400 years ago.

Before this.

Now in the 16th year of Jiajing, it is true that Mojiao has more advanced technology, while the Ming court is getting more and more backward...
