Chapter 35, "On Technological Thinking"! [Please read on! Please vote!]

"Hahaha!"

When the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Chen Hong suddenly laughed and looked at Hu Liena, who was a little taller than him, with a strange look in his eyes. He said cheerfully, "I thought it was something else. It turns out it's this. Dad, could you get out the technical drawings I prepared yesterday?"

Chen Hong called out into the shop, and after a short while, a middle-aged man with a complicated expression came out with a roll of paper and handed it to Chen Hong.

Although the official president of the Technology Chamber of Commerce is Chen Lin, the vice president of the Soto City Blacksmith Association, everyone knows that the chamber was established because of the youngest member, Chen Hong.

wow~

Chen Hong opened the blueprints and glanced at them. After confirming that there were no problems, he rolled them up and casually handed them to Hu Liena in front of him.

"The scroll is fine; it's the scroll I wrote, so there's no need to worry about it being swapped out."

"." Hu Liena gave Chen Hong a strange look, wondering whose side this guy was on. Why did he act like he was one of her own?

They were practically shouting, "Sir, this way please!"

"I believe you, scroll." Hu Liena did not open the scroll, firstly because she did not believe Chen Hong would have the guts to deceive the Spirit Hall, and secondly because she would not understand it even if she looked at it.

Now she understands how harshly Chen Hong had insulted her back then. Coming from a martial arts school, she truly knew nothing about anything except cultivation.

"Actually, I'm very curious, why did you want the blueprints instead of something else?" After the transaction was completed and the Spirit Hall group was about to leave, Chen Hong finally couldn't help but ask.

At the same time, Chen Hong explained, "The technology on this roll of blueprints is not the same as the Soul Engine I currently have. There is a slight difference in performance, which you will need to research and overcome on your own. Can you accept that? After all, our Chamber of Commerce also needs to make money and needs a first-mover advantage."

"None of that matters." Hu Liena turned back to Chen Hong and gently shook her head, saying calmly, "What matters is whether you pay or not."

If he refuses to hand it over, it means he harbors ulterior motives and should not be given more attention.

The fact that he has made an exchange indicates that this person is kind-hearted, doesn't hoard things, and is someone with whom we can continue to cooperate.

"Alright." Chen Hong was also helpless. He didn't ask any more questions and watched helplessly as the Spirit Hall group slowly left.

"Dad, have someone frame this token on the archway of our Chamber of Commerce so that others know we have an official background with the Spirit Hall."

Chen Hong tossed the papal decree to Chen Lin, then went back to the inner room to take a nap.

About half an hour later, a shop assistant suddenly came to call Chen Hong.

"President Chen, representatives from the Barak Kingdom and the Heavenly Dou Empire have arrived."

Chen Hong, who had been sleeping on the table, slowly opened his eyes. After a moment of clarity, he shouted at the shop assistant, who was once an apprentice blacksmith at the Chen family's blacksmith shop, "Tell them to introduce our new archway when they come in. Oh, and tell Dad that if they want the blueprints too, we'll sell them to them as well."

Chen Hong had originally drawn up the blueprints in advance for the Heaven Dou Empire, but he hadn't expected the Spirit Hall to intercept them beforehand. He anticipated the Spirit Hall would make demands, but not something so absurd!

"Have someone inform my mom how much it can sell for and let her negotiate the price. We can't count on Dad, he's such a spineless coward."

Shop assistant:

"Let's make a deal with the Kingdom of Barak. We'll provide the technology and the money to build roads within the kingdom, but we want tax exemption on the roads and the right to erect a monument along the road that says: 'This road is sponsored by the Technology Chamber of Commerce and is for your convenience.'"

In fact, Chen Hong envisioned a scenario where the Spirit Hall would sponsor them, allowing them to spread the Spirit Hall's glory to even more distant places while building the road. The inscription on the monument would then read: "This road is sponsored by the Spirit Hall and constructed by the Technology Chamber of Commerce for your convenience."

As a result, the Spirit Hall wanted something with the least future value.

"Since the Spirit Hall doesn't want this good opportunity to build its reputation, then I won't be polite. I'll leave a good name for people in various places, which will ultimately help the Technology Chamber of Commerce spread to other areas, break down regional barriers, strengthen regional ties, and promote the unification of the continent."

(Ming-chan, open the door! Free trade!)

Chen Hong thought to himself, and only after confirming that nothing had been missed did he send the shop assistant away.

After the shop assistant left, Chen Hong lost his will to rest. Instead, he took out a piece of white paper from under the drawer and began to draft the "Technological Thinking Theory" for the Technology Chamber of Commerce.

(Technological thinking is a localized world cognition theory, which includes a philosophy of life, logic of thinking, and methodology for understanding the world... It can help the Technology Chamber of Commerce to build a new understanding of this world with God, to discover the world, explore the world, and summarize the world.)

(The text in parentheses is a later addition by Qiuqiu; the original text of over a hundred words has been removed.)

After finishing drafting "On Scientific and Technological Thinking," it was getting late outside the window. Chen Hong put down his pen and rubbed his tired eyes.

Chen Hong ultimately changed many things, but he didn't bring his atheistic ideology into this world. That's something only a fool who doesn't even have the chance to think straight would do.

What is the dialectic of thought? If a world has never had a "God," then atheism is undoubtedly correct. But if a God clearly exists in this world, and is even alive, then why blindly copy other people's ideas? Wouldn't that be falling into dogmatism? How could anyone in the world be so foolish?

Just like some time-travel novels Chen Hong sometimes read in his previous life, where the protagonist travels to ancient times and becomes a plagiarist, copying names and place names without error. For people who only have a small head left, Chen Hong's attitude is full of pity. Then he raises his butcher's knife and cuts off the small head as well, so as not to be an eyesore.

The revised "On Technological Thinking" is mainly a guiding theory for reshaping the thinking of members within the Technology Chamber of Commerce and liberating their minds. It does not oppose anyone; it is simply a liberation of thought.

"Countless scholars in later generations have believed that 'The Theory of Scientific Thinking' deviated from its original purpose and gradually evolved from a doctrine of ideological liberation into a completely new canon."

"As people of later generations, we will view the Spirit Hall's historical limitations with a critical eye. But if we put ourselves in their shoes, how could a transcendent force that dominated an era possibly turn a blind eye to the Technology Chamber of Commerce? How could a god lower his gaze to the ants crawling at his feet?"

History cannot be reversed, reality has been set, may the principles of science endure and the eyes of truth forever watch over humanity!
