C1847 A vast library of raw materials (1/2)
Pictures were always more intuitive than words, and photos were more persuasive than illusions and engravings. The second wave of attacks from the Chinese side caught Alexander II on fire.
What were Pierre's two purses of life? Actually, there were a lot of articles and confessions, as well as countless photographic illustrations.
Using the term ”Xiao Letian” in his previous life, this was actually a warehouse of materials, a very large warehouse of materials.
You can find a lot of professional data, such as population, resources, roads, climate... Wait, these professional data will make your text more persuasive, appear more scientific.
Also, there were pictures and photos, which were the media's favorite. If you say ten thousand things, why not take out some photographic evidence, and say that the Far East belonged to you, Sha Russia? Then we'll go straight to work and show the people of Europe where the natives are.
There were also third party witnesses, many European and American captains, and the written records of the explorer. These were all evidence that could be used in media battles.
Material warehouse! People who were used to living in the online age didn't feel like they were worth much. Sitting on a computer or picking up a phone, you could easily search the vast amounts of data in this world.
Sitting at home, you can see the humpback whales of Bering Strait, the penguins of the Antarctic glacier, the documentary of the South America's elegance, and the TV series of the North America Continent. You can do whatever you want with it.
There was so much material that there was no end to it!
However, in 1869, even the number of telegraphic technique was just beginning to increase. At this time, the newspaper had its own material storehouse.
The human message had just been globalized, and even the Pacific Cable had not been completely laid. It was already a miracle that the Beijing would send a telegram to London this year with just five or six words.
You still want pictures? You still want more details? Dream on, I don't even have any information about this war in the Far Eastern Region, let alone the Thames reporting about it.
This kind of visual impact was undoubtedly huge for Paleogene. Many people could read the newspaper filled with photos for an entire day, and even forget to drink a cup of coffee.
”Oh my god, the Far East is so beautiful. It's completely undeveloped! What kind of people were these? Their faces were close to the blood of the Mongolian Prairie … Orenechun? This sound is very strange … ”
”Freezing? They fished under the ice with mules and horses, and my God, there was a lot of rain... ”
”Wild ginseng? Deer herd? Black Bear caught in a net... What a wonderful photo, it was so beautiful! ”Indeed, they have Chinese faces. This bunch of Russian scammers are lying. The indigenous people over there are Chinese!”
The people looked at the scenery of the foreign land, as if they imagined themselves bringing Expedition to that land, but just as they were immersed in the exotic scenery and could not extricate themselves, the atmosphere started to change from the second edition.
Slaughter! A rusty bayonet stabbed into the ground. There were actually dense white bones in the middle of the weeds, burnt wooden structures in the distance, closed mines in the mountains, and wooden Gold picker equipment in the stream.
”This is the Great Qingdao of the outer seas of the Haishenwai. There is a gold mine on this island. The massacre happened here …”
If you want evidence, then I will give you evidence. The ammunition box that the Russian Army left behind has the Russian alphabet, the standard bayonet, and the bullets that the Military experts uses to distinguish their nationality.
