History is really regular. From entering the era of reason, natural science began to influence human society, science and technology became the most basic motivation to change human society.
Any breakthrough in basic science could be exchanged for the Giant major change of human society, and even the geopolitics would be greatly shaken.
Without the internal combustion engine technology, without the petroleum refining technology, there would be no oil as a supporting energy source to survive!
Without the oil industry, the Middle East would forever be a nomadic desertification zone. Because without the storage of coal and iron ores, this region would not be able to complete the foundation laid for the first time by the Industrial Revolution.
But the new technology made mankind desperately in need of oil, and oil changed the geopolitical landscape. War broke out, and tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people died because of the oil industry.
The small oil forced Hitler to fight the Soviet Union on two fronts, and the black gold made the Middle East the powder keg of the entire 21st century!
However, the origin of all this was just a small group of scientists researching on the resource of oil. Every small breakthrough in science and technology would profoundly change the world!
What if a batch of technology managed to make a breakthrough? It was a so-called technological explosion or an industrial upgrade!
Only when such a curve appeared would the backward people have the opportunity to overtake the car, and this overtaking was very dangerous.
For example, for people who took advantage of the rise of the Second Industrial Revolution, the United States was a good example of the success of overtaking, and Germany was a painful lesson in the failure of overtaking.
However, it is undeniable that even if the German overtaking fails, they can still reap a lot of benefits during this historical period of overtaking.
If they could not become the world's top military and political powers, then their remaining legacy would ensure that they would become the world's economic powers.
To put it in a thousand words, once there were these 'bends' in the human civilization competition, it would be a golden opportunity. Anyone who saw the bends would have to risk their life to seize this historic opportunity.
Don't be afraid of failure, don't be afraid of sacrifice, don't be afraid of the developing price... You just need to keep charging forward. If you fail, you will also gain some benefits.
Were Japan and Germany thoroughly defeated in World War II? However, a military failure did not mean that their ancestors had failed in their efforts in science and technology, or their efforts in industrialization. In the end, their ancestors were still able to create an economic miracle!
After Xiao Letian left this world, the future generations had organized and refined the Führer's notes and speech for twenty years, and compiled them into books one by one.
One of the lines was titled ”As long as you find a large number of breakthroughs in technology, and have a hunch that a new phase of industrial upgrading is about to come, then the entire Chinese race will have to focus all their resources on quickly seizing the history of the track …”
'It's the best, if not the only, opportunity for us to overtake other races... ' 'In this kind of historical opportunity, the state must use centralization to replace division of power. Even if the welfare of the entire Chinese people is being squeezed, they must still focus their resources to seize this historical time! '
'An opportunity to overtake an industrial level is a rare opportunity. Once this historical opportunity appears, it will prove that the Chinese cannot waste resources on enjoying themselves in the next few decades! '
'All Chinese members, from the sixth and eighteenth levels of nobility, to the commoners, must have a clear understanding! '
'The period of time when the car passing through the bend will be built up is when the people will tighten their belts and plant their foundations! ' 'Since you've been reincarnated for the past few decades, you must understand your responsibilities! '
