The wars between human races were not just swords, spears, or battleships on the surface. The wars between human races were just a small part of all the modes of war.
There was also the cold war, and outside of the cold war there was also the commercial war. After the rise of the commercial war, there would be the war of capital finance. And the crown at the top of all wars is the war of thought.
No mistake, if every civilization wanted to survive, they still had to fight a war of ideas!
There were philosophers who once said that the basic purpose of human existence was not to reproduce, but to perfectly explain life in the universe! This had already risen to the realm of theory and thought.
European Civilization, East Asian Civilization, Latin America, Africa... All these civilizations were actually trying their best to find ways to study the truth of the universe and explain the truth of life.
All human confusion is concentrated in one point, how to get away from suffering, away from pain to ultimate happiness!
You have your explanation, and I have mine. Civilization is ultimately still a different sense of mind!
Sai Mouerbeike was the lackey sent by the British. If this scout sent an emergency signal to Europe, then more European scholars would come to Asia to conduct a higher level battle of consciousness!
This was very scary, but also very difficult to guard against. This was because Europe had already succeeded in obtaining the Industrial Revolution's dividend.
Once they came to fight with Xiao Letian for the right to interpret Western learning, East Asia would definitely enter a period of chaos!
But does East Asia really need to embrace the whole idea of European civilization? Xiao Letian's answer was negative. Different in history, different in living conditions, how could you achieve the same goal?
Actually, the nutrition of the Chinese civilization itself is enough to nourish the continuous development of our people. However, in modern times, it has caused a kind of lack of self-confidence due to the lowest short board of the barrel.
At the end of the day, what the Chinese lacked in modern times was systematic knowledge of natural sciences, while other theories of world governance were never lacking in China.
Just like in Sai Mouerbeike's notes on his exploration, he had a lot of respect for the Chinese habit of promoting history, and it even made him feel terrified.
Thousands of years of thick history, to provide the Chinese with endless experience, you want to do business? No problem looking at history. You want to go to politics, go to the army? No problem, go look for experience in the history books!
Society appears violent turbulence, has the serious class contradiction, how to eliminate? Rest assured, there are many such classic cases in the history of 24 years.
Even if you changed dynasties and continued to fight wars, you would still be able to learn how to ensure that your family survived the crisis or even find an opportunity to overtake them.
In fact, if you want to cultivate Immortal Cultivation and learn Buddhism, there is no problem. The history books have already taught you too many ways to practice the Great Dao!
Everything was there, everything was there. However, there was only one big shortcoming – the Chinese civilization was lacking in everything. That was the system's natural sciences!
It was not that the Ancient China did not have the knowledge of natural sciences, but that they only focused on the surface technical aspects, and did not form a scientific system like the West, nor excavate the origin of science.
Basic Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry... None of this is possible, and the Chinese cannot find the answer in the annals of the Old Ancestors.
But the key point is, if a nation wants to complete a Industrial Revolution, if they want to jump onto this fast train, they must have these foundations.
In Xiao Letian's previous life, in the parallel world, China's national destiny was at a disadvantage.
