"Why are you sure you will be the last one? I don't really understand the logical relationship here."
"I'll look at it for you."
Miaoyan slowly sorted out the timeline. One hundred and fifty years ago, the first crosser arrived in the Persian Gulf, but for some reason, he failed, but he still left many things, such as the water forging machine that Song Beiyun first used and the water-cooled machine gun.
The reason why that prophet was called the first is that nothing like it had appeared before him.
Song Beiyun asked back, why can't there be time travelers who can achieve nothing and wait for death? Miaoyan smiled and denied his guess.
"Is that still a time traveler?"
Song Beiyun slapped his head and suddenly realized that if a time traveler cannot bring the future into the present era, then his meaning as a time traveler will no longer exist. What he is exploring now is not the time traveler himself but the changes brought by the time traveler.
In other words, those travelers who traveled to Egypt, Aztec civilizations were then sacrificed as sacrifices, were not counted at all because they did not fulfill their mission.
"Then let's continue to look at the timeline, starting from the first time traveler a hundred and fifty years ago, until I was. The original world line of this world changed as many as seven times." Miaoyan drew many circles on different nodes in the book: "These seven changes in the world line have led to rise and fall and iterations different from the original trajectory, and then the Central Plains dynasty was affected by the butterfly effect."
Song Beiyun raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean is that...we are we exposed to a timeline that is different from the original historical trajectory because of the time traveler?"
"Yes." Miaoyan snapped his fingers: "Then now it's the most important part, why do I say I am the last time traveler?"
Song Beiyun became serious.
"We have said before that you came to this world at the age of eight, and I am also eight, but I should be one year later than you. Until now you are nineteen years, I am eighteen years. So why do you say I am the last one? Here is the question. Because before you show the power of a time traveler, there is no particularly strange civilization that suddenly rises."
Song Beiyun recalled that it seemed like this, but he always had a question, that is, why so far, I seem to have never had any contact with Europeans, and I have been playing with people from Asia all day long.
Where are the Europeans? All dead?
"Hey, don't say it, I have considered this issue too." Miaoyan narrowed his eyes and began to seriously: "I asked those Central Asian businessmen, if they had ever done business with people from the West and Western countries. Guess what the result is."
"Of course not, because theoretically, China and Europe had already had exchanges with each other in the Han Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, the trade route between China and Europe was opened up by those Persian traitors. Although there was no serious official exchange, there were many business exchanges. But as soon as I remember, I didn't seem to have heard of European merchants."
Miaoyan nodded: "Right, then in fact, it was like this before you and me."
"You said this is a time traveler?"
"What else?" Miaoyan thought for a moment: "Although Europe is now in the dark medieval era, it has actually reached the middle stage. Europe in the middle stage is no longer that bad. Around 1000 AD, with the development of technology and agriculture and the prosperity of trade, Europe can be said to have ushered in a highlight moment before the Renaissance. Especially between 900 and 1000 AD, they quickly recovered more than 60% of their vitality in this century. But according to the time when Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, it is now around 1020, but what about the Europeans?"
"so what?"
"They are closing the country." Miaoyan said with a narrowed eyes: "Or they gave up on the eastward advance and instead held their breath toward Africa. Even for some reason, their rulers had inexplicable fear of the East, so they locked down all the guests in the East."
Song Beiyun raised his eyes: "Oh, this guess can be found, I will send an advance team to Europe."
"Yeah." Miaoyan nodded: "We need to find out what is happening in Europe as quickly as possible."
"Then do you think there will be time travelers in the future?"
"That depends on where it is. If our guess is correct, Europe is holding three books, unless Einstein travels through it, it will be dead. And here, you have copied the poems you should copy, and you have developed the business models you should develop. The productivity has been squeezed out to be rich. The rest is waiting for the natural transformation of society. What can a time traveler do when he comes?" Miaoyan raised a finger: "You have to know that this era is about to be squeezed out by you."
"Um..." Song Beiyun scratched his chin: "I'm so embarrassed to praise it."
"Be serious." Miaoyan patted him, and then continued: "I know more about history and you know more about politics. Under what circumstances will a time traveler open the door and close the country."
"Either it's extreme confidence or extreme inferiority, or to prevent people around you from being harassed by Japanese pirates. But in fact, in essence, I still feel that I'm a thief and don't need a few melons elsewhere. I can develop well at home."
Miaoyan smiled and said, "What if they had arrived in Australia or the African continent and had enough resources?"
"Impossible. I ask you, if you have a fleet of invincible worlds, would you do a shot of India?" Song Beiyun waved his hand and said, "The South Asian subcontinent is a wonderful place. It has the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau that is isolated from East Asian tigers, the wonderful aroma of curry, and the warm wind of the Indian Ocean. It is simply the south of the Yangtze River outside the Great Wall and the Asian granary. If it were me, I couldn't help it. When my South China Sea Fleet was established, the first thing I did was to do was do a shot of India."
"But you don't need a very powerful fleet to go to Africa, right?"
"Well... it's just a Gibraltar, it's a simple place to cross the Yangtze River."
"What are they thinking about when a Europe that is isolated from Asia?"
The question of Miaoyan made Song Beiyun alert. It would be more interesting to look at this matter with political thinking. One civilization actively isolated the other civilization, and its intention was nothing more than two, that is, to try every means to prevent his advanced culture from accelerating the development of the other party. When the time is ripe, a round of singing will push the other party to the ground and reduce the dimensionality.
Don’t say that the world is not that bad. The civilization that has never eaten anything from ancient times to the present is basically the first thing to do when we meet is to start working. Friendly cooperation can also crush the other party, or both parties have atomic bombs.
In the 110 years since 1840 and ended in 1951, China basically fought with all the white-skinned men. Later... After that, there was a nuclear bomb, so white-skinned men could only move out their negotiating table.
This is how the East Asian tigers cut from the South Heaven Gate to Penglai East Road and then broke out a bloody road. If they don’t want to go to the battlefield, they will have peace unless Song Beiyun is able to rub the nuclear explosion with his hands.
Song Beiyun sat on the rockery stone, pressing one leg against the other, with a solemn expression.
Miaoyan's words directly pressed his dream to the ground and rubbed it into a bloody state. If something really happened, let alone exploring America, the highlands at home would have to be stolen.
"You estimate where their tech tree points have reached."
"Didn't you say they don't have a navy?" Miaoyan laughed: "Since you can hold up the battleship, it's not too much for them to hold up a tank, right?"
Song Beiyun stood up and said, "I understand."
First of all, the current idea is to consider the fastest result. The law of the Dark Forest is officially launched. No matter what the other party thinks, he must report his own idea of having to make a fuss.
Secondly, the other party does not have any zenith star technology tree, and the overall level of civilization and population in Europe are far lower than that of the East Asian tigers of this era, so Europe may not be able to bloom in full like Asia. But not being able to bloom in full does not mean that one cannot be specialized, so according to what Miaoyan said, just follow the other party to hold out a tank and target it.
Finally, the other party is an enemy but not a friend. Now Song Beiyun is about to start a reconnaissance immediately, so as not to be caught off guard.
Finally, the radio that was originally going to be slow must be put on the agenda. After the Second Fleet is completed, the Invincible Fleet will be slow and handed over to the Liao Kingdom to complete the construction of the Third and Fourth Fleets.
Finally, the second appendix is that the Jin Kingdom must be dealt with in the shortest time. No matter what means it is used, it must not be allowed to leave the Jin Kingdom alone. It must be melted in a short time.
“How to say it?”
"Fuck it, it's burning." Song Beiyun rubbed his hands: "I thought I had nothing to do."
"What if the other party really comes out of the tank?"
"Then sing a song for them when the pear blossoms are in full bloom." Song Beiyun clapped his hands: "We don't know their situation, and they won't know our situation, right?"
"But it's going to develop earlier than us."
"You look down on European farmers so much. The peak of technology in this era is at our feet. And do you think it would be easier for a person to mobilize the productivity of the entire Europe than we do?"
Miaoyan's eyes rolled and she laughed: "Maybe they are just starting to mess with the textile machine now?"
Song Beiyun looked at the chimneys in the port from afar, which were also sparkling at night, and chuckled: "In terms of ability, creativity, execution, intelligence, what can those white skins compare to? Whether it is now or the future, as long as I give me a direction, I will give you a miracle."
