Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chapter 190 I am now considered a stone, right?
After taking Old Mr. Nong to meet His Majesty, Chu Ze took him to find Prince Zhu Biao, and told him about the Seedling Research Institute.

After Zhu Biao heard about the artificial incubation, his reaction was almost the same as that of Zhu Yuanzhang.

But the biggest difference between him and his father is that when Chu Ze mentioned that he was going to give awards and honors to the people on the test site, Zhu Biao agreed without thinking about it.

And said that if his father is unwilling to complete the matter, then he will complete the matter.

The same thing, but the father and son hold different opinions.

This may be the generation gap between the young and the old.

"How is the construction of your school?"

After Chu Ze arranged for someone to send Mr. Nong back to the test site, Zhu Biao and Chu Ze also came to the edge of the pond where they talked for the first time in the East Palace.

By the pond, there is a wave of light, a tea table and two chairs.

Everything is so calm and peaceful.

"The hardware of the school is basically completed, and the most important thing now is the problem of teacher resources."

"Because they are all new textbooks, let alone those students have to learn, even those teachers have to learn from the beginning before they can teach and educate people."

"It is estimated that a group of people must first be trained to serve as teachers."

After taking the tea cup handed over by Zhu Biao, Chu Ze took a sip of tea silently, and then threw a pebble that he had been playing with for a long time into the water again.

Looking at the gradually spreading ripples on the water surface, Chu Ze's eyes gradually deepened.

"The progress is still a little slow. I don't know when the school will start to operate properly. Even if the school starts to operate. Those students who will be successful in their studies in the future don't know what to do."

"To be honest, I don't know if my plan is correct."

Establishing a school to spread an academic that completely runs counter to current popular knowledge.

People who have accepted this knowledge will find that what they have learned is useless when they really walk out of school in the future.

If so, that would be such a sad thing.
Even though he knew it was so, Chu Ze had no choice but to do it!
If this knowledge is not passed on, wouldn't it be so redundant for him to go through a journey?

"Whether it's right or not, at least we did it, didn't we?"

Zhu Biao looked at Chu Ze who was full of sadness. Although he didn't know what Chu Ze was melancholy about, he still gave him some encouragement.

"No matter what the result is, let's just ask for a clear conscience."

Zhu Biao's words made Chu Ze's hands slightly stiff.

Then, he shook his head with a wry smile.

"You're speaking lightly! Then, do you know that once the knowledge I spread gradually takes root in this era, things like imperial power will gradually disappear as the knowledge gradually penetrates into the hearts of the people?"

"The more advanced the technology, the weaker the imperial power will be. Because if you want to explore technology, you must have the courage to pioneer. Once the pioneers appear, the latecomers will follow."

"The era of imperial power will eventually come to an end, and the era of human rights will gradually rise."

"You and I are just a pawn under the general trend. When the general trend comes, everyone is a victim."

Originally, Zhu Biao wanted to encourage Chu Ze, but after hearing his words, he looked up at Chu Ze in disbelief.

His eyes were full of shock and bewilderment.

What did he just hear?
The era of imperial power will come to an end.

And what caused all this to happen was Chu Ze and what he was doing.

He, the next ruler of the imperial power, is gradually disintegrating himself.
"Are you surprised? Do you feel incredible! Do you have a feeling that you are rebelling against yourself?"

Chu Ze looked at Zhu Biao who was stunned, and a teasing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

And Zhu Biao looked at Chu Ze who was still sitting opposite him and drinking tea quietly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

A very strange feeling gradually rose from Zhu Biao's heart.

"Did you know there was such a result from the beginning?"

After a long time, Zhu Biao finally recovered from the shock.

However, after reacting, Zhu Biao lowered his head at this moment, staring dully at the teapot and teacup in front of him.

The expression on his face was very indifferent, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

"Almost. Actually, I told you from the beginning, the longer I exist, the more I will change about the future. This is called the butterfly effect."

"However, the ending of history is always similar. With the gradual development of the times, once some things start to spread, they can no longer be contained."

"Actually, it is not me who ended the era of imperial power, but our culture itself."

"To be more specific, it is your old Zhu family who started this era."

As gunpowder gradually flowed into the West, the West has been in war with each other because of its many countries.

The successive wars have led to the explosive growth of science and technology between each other's countries.

In just a few hundred years, it surpassed the Chinese civilization in one fell swoop.

And the beginning of all this can be said to have begun in the Ming Dynasty.

"I haven't heard you talk about the future for a long time, why don't you tell me about it today?"

"I still have to go to work in the Ministry of Rites, why don't you talk about it? I'm afraid that after you tell me, you'll be so mad."

"Is the history of later generations so unbearable?"

"Uh, what do you think?"

Looking at Chu Ze's half-smile look, Zhu Biao couldn't help hesitating for a moment.

It is true about the curiosity about the future, but it is also true about the fear of the future.

Facing the unknown, who wouldn't be afraid?

And Chu Ze looked at Zhu Biao who was still hesitating, and he didn't mean to urge the other party, but just silently waited for Zhu Biao to make a decision.

If he really made enough preparations and wanted to hear about the funeral, then Chu Ze didn't mind telling him something.

Some things are always carried by one person, which is actually quite tiring.

"Huh, let's talk about it. If I faint from anger...you can wake me up in a while."

"If I also know what happened in the later generations... Maybe I can understand your thoughts better?"

"If everything is really inevitable, then it is better to be a promoter than to be a victim when it is inevitable. Those who take the initiative at least have room to turn around, don't they?"

Maybe it's because the two are similar in age, or maybe Zhu Biao's thoughts have changed after spending time with Chu Ze.

At this time, he actually had a sense of freedom similar to that of Chu Ze.

And it was this freedom that allowed Zhu Biao to learn that what Chu Ze and he were doing was actually laying the foundation for the disintegration of the imperial power era step by step.

The reason why he can still maintain that calmness.

After some deep thinking, Zhu Biao still decided to know what happened in later generations.

Based on his understanding of Chu Ze, Chu Ze generally would not target indiscriminately.

Since he raised this point today, there must be his reasons.

"I won't go into details about things that are too specific. After all, if you talk about the history of hundreds of years in detail, you won't be able to finish it in three days and three nights."

"We're talking about technology today, so let's just talk about technology. What do you think?"

After Chu Ze saw that Zhu Biao was mentally prepared, he did not hesitate, and directly explained to the other party.

After Zhu Biao heard Chu Ze's proposal, he just nodded silently.

It can be regarded as acquiescing to Chu Ze's proposal.

Even so, when the two talked, Chu Ze seemed to be in the dominant position all the time.

But Zhu Biao also knew that if he was talking about the future, he himself had no room to intervene.

"Okay, since we are talking about technology, let's mainly talk about firearms. The flintlock guns that our Ming army is currently assembling are actually originally from the West."

"According to the original history, the firearms in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the early stage, were the simplest firearms, and most of them were made of copper. Later, there were bowl-mouth guns, sharp guns, and three-eyed firearms. of."

"But these things are basically empty names. As time went by, gunpowder gradually flowed into the West from the Ming Dynasty."

"The terrain and terrain in the west are more complicated. They are in war all year round. Some are similar to the Warring States period in our pre-Qin period."

"After gunpowder and firearms flowed into the West, the successive wars made them particularly enthusiastic about researching weapons."

"Compared to them, the Ming Dynasty belonged to a unified dynasty. Although the previous generations of emperors had worked hard to rule and develop in various ways, the disadvantage of a unified dynasty is that the later the dynasty, the more corrupt it will be."

"From the late Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, which is the next dynasty that completely succeeded your Ming Dynasty, their main body was the Jurchens."

"From here, Western firearms and technology have begun to surpass us in an all-round way."

"Let me give you an example, let me think about it, wait a moment."

When Chu Ze gave an example, he couldn't think of a more appropriate example for a while.

And Zhu Biao looked at him who was frowning and thinking hard, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.

Jurchen Qing Dynasty.

Although he has always known that the Ming Dynasty perished, the Great Ming Dynasty will collapse in the future.

However, this was the first time he knew that the dynasty after the Ming Dynasty was not the Han dynasty.

This is simply.
When Chu Ze was thinking hard, Zhu Biao was also thinking.

However, after the two pondered for a long time, they both looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

What Zhu Biao saw on Chu Ze's face was embarrassment, but what Chu Ze saw on Zhu Biao's face was anticipation.

"Biao. It's been too long, I completely forgot. I don't know where to start for a while."

"Uh"

Zhu Biao didn't expect that after he had waited for a long time, Chu Ze would come up with such a sentence for him.
Looking at Chu Ze, who was sitting in a multi-faceted position and was speechless for a moment, Zhu Biao silently gave him a middle finger.

"I said, did you make a mistake! I've been waiting for so long, and you just tell me you forgot?"

"I really don't remember. The history of your Ming Dynasty is rather vague.. let alone the things in the late Ming and early Qing!"

"You also know that this kind of history is generally intended to be erased, especially when a foreign race ruled our Han people at that time. Naturally, it can be erased as soon as it can be erased."

"Anyway, that's what I said. The flintlock guns and bullets with tails that I vacated here. In fact, these things are all produced in the West."

"Technically, I can't remember the specifics at all, let me tell you something else."

Chu Ze, who lost the chain on the spot, actually felt quite embarrassed when facing Zhu Biao's raised middle finger and contemptuous eyes.

Originally, he thought he could remember it, but when he opened his mouth, his mind froze.

In desperation, Chu Ze could only tell Zhu Biao about other things.

From the late Ming and early Qing to modern history.

In the end, it tells about the modern age in which he lives.

As a narrator, Chu Ze's voice was suppressed when he spoke.

And as a listener, Zhu Biao's expression also seemed extraordinarily depressed.

"After the disaster, with the rise of two big mushrooms, the people on this land finally stood up again."

"Many of the martyrs were ordinary people, but in the face of national disasters, they still stood on the front line one after another."

"To be honest, I'm just an ordinary person, but I've only studied a little bit. Because I like some messy things on weekdays, I often watch videos and learn a little bit."

"You can also see that after I built the test site, in fact, I was very powerless in many places, such as carving rifles for guns and making primers."

"I know that the one-piece bullet needs a primer, but I don't know how to make a primer at all"

"And the rifling. If I could rifle the barrel directly, I wouldn't even do any solid bullets with fins."

"To be honest, if I really knew that I would time travel, I would just memorize it by rote, and I should write down some useful things, right?"

"I'm not a great man, even compared to the elites of later generations, I'm just a useless person."

The more Chu Ze spoke, the lower his voice became.

When the book is ready to be used, one hates less. In fact, Chu Ze could not fully understand the meaning of this sentence before time travel.

But now that he has time traveled and he really starts to rely on himself, he realizes how small he is.

Especially when you really need to use what you have learned.

That sense of powerlessness was almost infinitely magnified at this moment.

And Zhu Biao, who was sitting opposite Chu Ze, was already so shocked that he didn't know how to speak.

Looking at Chu Ze with his head down and a little depressed, Zhu Biao could roughly feel Chu Ze's sense of powerlessness at this moment.

"Actually. You've done a good job. If it were me, maybe it's not as good as you"

After Zhu Biao sighed, he looked at the stone at his feet, finally bent down to pick it up, and then imitated Chu Ze, and silently threw it into the pond.

"Now, do I count as a stone?"
