Bringing the Railway to Daming

Chapter 268: Looking Back at the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhu Biao Selects Videos [Please Subscribe]

Zhu Biao noticed that Liu Kuan's mobile phone operations were so fast that it was almost dazzling. Often, the text on the screen was swiped away before he could even read it clearly.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao got a little anxious and said, "Sister-in-law, please go slower."

Liu Kuan said without even looking up, "The second time the strange fog appeared it was about ten minutes. If this time is also only ten minutes, then time is precious. I wish it could be faster. How could I possibly be slower?"

"By the way, I've already shared my phone's 5G network with my laptop. Your Highness has learned how to use a laptop, hasn't he? Why not help me use it to find some downloads?"

Zhu Biao was eager to try, but he was not confident and said, "I haven't learned much and I'm not very experienced. Can I do it?"

Liu Kuan said, "Don't worry about whether it works or not. It won't hurt for Your Highness to give it a try."

As he spoke, Liu Kuan had already opened his laptop and enabled network sharing.

There are not many software programs for surfing the Internet on Liu Kuan's laptop. If he can input information and search, Baidu is definitely the first choice.

But now that information cannot be input, Baidu is not as good as the website except for being convenient for viewing trending searches.

In addition to Baidu, Bilibili, and Station B, there was also Bihu on his laptop, but Liu Kuan seldom visited Bihu and was not familiar with it, so he simply opened Station B on his computer as well - his Station B account was different from his mobile phone Station B account.

Zhu Biao stared intently from the side and asked, "Brother-in-law, how do I download this video?"

Liu Kuan said, "It's very simple. First, open a video and watch the first ten seconds. Then scroll to the end and watch another ten seconds. Finally, save it."

As he spoke, Liu Kuan casually opened a video on the homepage and saved it, then showed it to Zhu Biao.

In fact, it is not that easy to download videos from the broken site. Special software is required, and you can only download free videos and movies.

When the strange fog came for the second time, Liu Kuan mainly used this method to download videos and movies.

But later he discovered that several short videos he had played and collected at that time also appeared in their entirety on his phone - he didn't understand what caused this and could only attribute it to the magic of the strange fog and parallel time and space.

This discovery made it more convenient for him to "download" videos and movies this time - of course, he could still only download free ones.

As for the payment that needed to be made, although he had money in his account, he could not pay it.

After Liu Kuan taught Zhu Biao this special video downloading method, he continued to use his mobile phone to search for useful videos on the broken site.

For example, "How to make three acids and two alkalis by traditional methods", how to build acid-base industry, petrochemical industry, the principle and structure of internal combustion engine, etc.

The small broken station is all-encompassing, with all kinds of (legally permitted) content being posted there. There are even people who specialize in making videos about how to rebel in ancient times and how to build various industrial bases.

However, the quality of these videos varies greatly, some are nonsense, while others are extremely hardcore and serious.

Therefore, Liu Kuan not only needs to find such videos, but also needs to identify them.

As for some interesting popular science videos, movies and TV shows, he would also "download" them as a stockpile...
Zhu Biao was originally planning to help find a video to download, but when he saw the title of the video that Liu Kuan casually clicked on, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

“It wasn’t until I read the history of the Qing Dynasty in reverse that I realized what the most powerful dynasty was!”

Looking back at the history of the Qing Dynasty?

This imaginative idea immediately attracted Zhu Biao.

At the same time, the video started and he looked subconsciously.

An ugly image of a man with braids appeared on the video, and a man's voice was heard giving a commentary.

"In 1912 AD..."

"In 1911 AD..."

Zhu Biao almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

It was so ridiculous that it was beyond his imagination.

However, Zhu Biao did not understand the history of the Qing Dynasty. Although he felt that the content of the video was weird, he could not get the real "coolness" or "funny points" from it.

So after watching for more than a minute, he came to his senses and prepared to find the video to download.

As a result, he accidentally glanced at the column of recommended videos on the right and was immediately attracted by the title of the first video.

"If we look at the 276-year history of the Ming Dynasty in reverse, we can truly say that the emperor guards the country's borders and the emperor dies for the country!"

Is there anyone who wants to read the history of the Ming Dynasty in reverse? Zhu Biao was stunned. He clicked on the video to play it and did not forget to save it.

After an opening similar to the previous video about the Qing Dynasty, the same man's explanation voice appeared.

"In 1644, Zhu Youjian was resurrected from a crooked tree on Coal Hill in Beijing. He ascended the throne and became emperor, naming the country the Great Ming and establishing the reign of Chongzhen..."

Chongzhen is resurrected?

Establish the Ming Dynasty?

Isn't this nonsense?

Zhu Biao stared in amazement.

At the same time, he also understood that looking at the history of a certain dynasty backwards means literally telling the history of a certain dynasty backwards.

"If someone who doesn't understand history sees this and believes it to be true, wouldn't that be misleading?"

The man in the video continues to narrate history in absurd ways.

"In March of the same year, Zhu Youjian assembled 3,000 eunuchs and stormed the Forbidden City in the dead of night, finally driving Li Zicheng, the leader of the peasant uprising, out of Beijing."

"This battle not only made the Ming Dynasty famous, but also laid a solid foundation for the Ming Dynasty's 276 years of great achievements."

"At the same time, Wu Sangui gained confidence after hearing the news, and led the entire Ming army to drive the Qing Dynasty out of the Great Wall..."

Seeing this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but shake his head again.

"I remember my brother-in-law said that it was the traitor Wu Sangui who let the Qing army into the pass, but here it says that he drove the Qing army out. It seems that this video not only tells history backwards, but also tells the opposite of what happened."

After watching the video for about a minute, Zhu Biao couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He scrolled to the end and watched for about ten seconds before closing the video and returning to the homepage of the website.

Then he began to try hard to control the urge to click on every video and tried his best to find videos that would be useful to Daming.

"Nationwide ratings top! 'I Am a Detective 2' - The Case of the Outlaw?"

"Even though the military and police are so powerful in later generations, there are still lawless criminals?"

"I really want to see what's going on - but this has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty, so forget it."

“Who is transforming humans?”

"This seems to be the popular science video my brother-in-law mentioned, but it doesn't seem to be of much use to the Ming Dynasty."

"Reading all 296 years of Qing Dynasty history in one go?"

"History is a mirror that can help us understand the rise and fall of nations, and the history of later generations can also provide references - this is worth collecting."

"Evil girl...crazy?"

"What does this middle symbol mean? I don't understand it at all."

"How cruel, truly heartless... But why is it another video about a crime?"

"What will be Russia's final outcome? [New Chronicles of Nations 03]"

"Planetary Research Institute? My brother-in-law always seemed to like playing this old lady's videos, saying they were not only well-made but also had valuable content. Yeah, I should download this."

This was Zhu Biao’s first time to use the broken website, so he didn’t know any other ways to find videos and just browsed the homepage.

When he comes across a video that interests him, he will click on it to watch it and save it as a download.

At the same time, he also noticed that many of the video covers on the page were beauties from later generations, and some of them were wearing very cool, even revealing, clothes.

However, over the past few years, he had already gained some understanding of the customs of later generations and knew that it was normal for women in later generations to wear cool clothes.

Although these women seemed to be beauties who were as beautiful as Crown Princess Lu, Zhu Biao just glanced at them a few more times and did not click on any of them.

　First update.

　　I had a long trip today and came back very late, so I could only write two short chapters.
