Chapter 145 New understanding
Xu Zhen gave him a thumbs up and said with admiration, "What a good eye! You figured it out at a glance. It really does look like a rooster. And the areas covered by this outline are all our Chinese land, as are the islands near the sea."
"Isn't this too exaggerated? According to this map, the countries around us should all belong to Anguo."
"Your Majesty, it is truly precious that the princess came here in person to help us. It is only natural that we give the princess a similar territory as a reward."
Xu Zhen quickly waved his hand to stop them, saying, "Absolutely not! I came here this time just to help you recover and get through the current predicament safely. I don't expect anything in return from you, and I don't want to see a war break out and cause harm to innocent people."
An Chen hurriedly explained: "Zhenzhen, you are worrying too much. When we become strong, there is no need to start a war. Other countries will naturally come to us willingly. Look, didn't the prince of Dongyi willingly become your subordinate, Zhenzhen?"
Xu Zhen's eyes sparkled, and he said passionately: "You can form an alliance like you, and everyone can develop their own countries. You can help each other and share what you have. In my hometown, there are hundreds of similar countries! Therefore, you should not limit yourself to this tiny place in front of you, but look at the future with a broader vision. When we are fully developing, there may be more advanced technologies elsewhere. If other countries become strong and invade our country, even if An Guo and several surrounding countries join forces, they may not be their opponents. Therefore, we must prepare for a rainy day, not only to strive for the prosperity of our own country, but also to lead the neighboring countries to make progress together. For us, neighboring countries are like indestructible shields. If neighboring countries fall, it will be difficult for us to survive alone. As the saying goes, the lips and teeth are cold, this is very clear!"
At this moment, everyone stared at the map as if waking up from a dream, and suddenly discovered that there was still a large area on the map, with many countries scattered across it.
Xu Zhen: "This map is just a map of Asia, but I want to show you the world map of our hometown."
Xu Zhen pointed his finger at a smaller corner of the world map and explained to everyone, "Look, everyone. This is my hometown. It looks so insignificant on the world map. Look at other vast areas. Except for those vast oceans, the rest of the continents are inhabited by humans."
Everyone was so shocked that they could not express it in words. Indeed, from the perspective of the world map, the huge China had become an insignificant existence. They were too narrow-minded before, thinking that apart from Anguo, there were only a few countries around the world. Since the geographical environment of the princess' hometown is similar to this place, then the geography they live in should also have vast land and oceans.
At this moment, they couldn't help but feel fear, as if, as the princess said, in such a vast area, it was very likely that several countries would develop rapidly. If they really attacked, with their current weapons, there was no chance of victory.
Fortunately, the princess arrived in time and taught Chen Jing how to make bombs, which might be able to compete with outsiders. The princess was right. We should not just limit ourselves to the present, but should broaden our horizons, look far ahead, and devote ourselves to developing technology and establishing schools so that more people can have the ability to develop new weapons. We can't just sit there and wait for death! No wonder the princess has been obsessed with building libraries and schools, and asked Chen Jing to learn physics!
The princess said that the items she brought were all made by people from her hometown. At first, everyone thought that the princess just made up an excuse to bring out items used by gods, but now it seems that what she said is true, these things are indeed created by humans.
At this moment, they recalled that the airplanes flying in the sky were so huge and heavy, but they could fly high easily and at an amazing speed; there was also the small and exquisite "bee" that was almost invisible, which could not only detect targets and listen to sounds, but also transmit information. What's more amazing is that people could even give it instructions; in addition, there was the motorcycle they had driven, which had only two wheels, but could stand steadily and move forward at a high speed with a roar of "thump thump thump". The princess once said that if the road conditions were good, it could even run faster, and it didn't need to eat grass at all, it only needed to add some special fuel to drive; there was also the magical object called Polaroid and camera, as well as the monitor installed specifically for the emperor...
Oh, yes! The parachute that the princess rode when she first came here, as well as the sharp sabers given to them, the emergency supplies in their backpacks, the bright mining lamps, etc.
In addition, the prince also used something called a pistol, and when he conquered the Ghost Killing Sect, he used a mysterious robot that was used to detect and confiscate weapons... There are countless of them!
The more Chen Jing thought about it, the more frightened she became. What kind of place is the princess' hometown? Judging from the princess's appearance and behavior, it seems that there is not much difference between them, but why is there such a big gap? Is it really as the princess said that she must keep learning to catch up?
Chen Jing couldn't help but mutter to herself: "Are the people outside the same as us?"
Since the topic has come to this, Xu Zhen also wants them to know more so that they can expand their own perspectives. Xu Zhen simply took out a tablet and found a documentary about the earth. Everyone sat down and watched quietly. The first thing that came into view was a blue sphere. As the picture slowly expanded, it showed the high-rise buildings of cities, roads and bridges, transportation, local customs, and regional culture...
After learning this, everyone showed envy on their faces, and they really looked down on their current lives.
"Princess, when can we live like that?" someone asked.
"Look at that building, it's so high, wouldn't you be scared to live on it? If I could build such a high building, how would I climb up? Could it be that you all have Qinggong skills? That's not right, doesn't the princess have no Kung Fu?" someone else exclaimed.
"There is such a big ship on the water, it's much taller than the tallest building here!" someone else exclaimed.
Everyone talked about it, full of curiosity and yearning for everything on Earth. They began to realize that there was such a vast world outside the world, and their environment was so narrow. This experience might become an opportunity for them to change their destiny and lead them to a better future.
"The roads over there are so smooth and wide, and there isn't even a single carriage on the road. It's not possible that every family drives that kind of carriage when they travel, right?"
"There are so many different types of cars. The big ones are so big and long, and the small ones are even smaller than a horse-drawn carriage."
"The clothes those people wear are so weird! Oh my god, it's unbearable to watch. The women are running around in the street with their arms and legs exposed. This, this, this, this is unbearable to watch. The men don't even have long hair, and look at these women, many of them have short hair! And their hair colors are all different, and even the colors of their eyes are all different."
.......
Everyone asked questions at once, as if they would never stop. However, An Chen had already known all of this through the space, and his inner feelings at this moment were completely different from those of the people who saw these things for the first time. Finally, he couldn't hold back, asked everyone to quiet down, and said: "You asked so many questions at once, how are you going to answer them one by one?"
Everyone was so excited that they became incoherent for a while. It was not until they heard the words of the prince that they came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream. They all looked ashamed and lowered their heads. But the scenes they just witnessed were deeply imprinted in their hearts and became eternal memories. These scenes seemed to inject a new strength into them, making them more determined to follow the footsteps of the princess and the prince. They firmly believed that in the near future, both they and their descendants would be able to live such a beautiful life.
Xu Zhen said: "We can also make corresponding plans and follow them step by step. I believe that one day we will be able to realize the life we long for. Remember I once said that we would solve the problem of food and clothing for all the people within three years? Now, the first sowing has been successfully completed, and the heavens seem to be blessing us and have sent us a timely rain. I estimate that our harvest next year will be enough to meet everyone's food and clothing needs. As long as there are no major natural or man-made disasters, we can start to implement the second plan."
An Chen asked, "Is it a plan to establish a school or build a factory?"
Xu Zhen replied: "Almost. If you want to develop technology, you must let everyone actively participate. However, many talented people are blocked from the door due to lack of cultural knowledge and illiteracy. This not only delays their personal future, but also has an impact on the development of the entire country. Therefore, I think the second plan should be to completely eliminate illiteracy."
Chen Jing asked in confusion: "What is literacy?"
Xu Zhen: "When I say blind, I don't mean blindness, but illiterates, that is, people who can't read or write. We have always advocated: 'Knowledge changes destiny, and technology creates talents.' The key to promoting the rapid development of a country is to allow more people to have the opportunity to receive education, popularize basic education, and improve the overall quality of the people. If people are illiterate, they cannot learn advanced production technology. Even if we distribute technical books to them for free, how can they read these books if they can't even recognize the words? In this way, precious advanced production technology can only be wasted. After the war, my hometown opened many literacy classes. Many illiterate people started learning from scratch. It only took a few decades to achieve remarkable results. Advanced items such as weapons, vehicles, high-rise buildings, etc. were not created until decades later."
Chen Jing: "So can we make a lot of things by studying physics?"
Xu Zhen: "Of course. There is a saying in my hometown: If you learn math, physics and chemistry, you will not be afraid to travel around the world!"
Chen Jing: "What is mathematics, physics and chemistry?"
Xu Zhen: "Mathematics, physics, and chemistry. You can simply understand that mathematics is used for calculations. Physics is a natural science that studies the most basic structure of the material world, the most common interactions, the most general laws of motion, and the experimental methods and thinking methods used. It is referred to as physics.
Physics, as the name suggests, is a general summary of knowledge about the transformation of matter in the inanimate natural world. It is a typical natural science, and its core research focuses on the basic laws of matter, energy, force, and the movement of objects, and explores the composition of matter in nature, the mutual influence between different substances, and the energy conversion mechanism.
If we analyze it from a more detailed perspective, we can find that physics actually covers a very wide range of research areas, including mechanics, thermodynamics, optics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics (this theory mainly focuses on the study of atoms, molecules and elementary particles in the microscopic world), nuclear science and other sub-fields. Since physics is in a leading position in the field of natural sciences, the scope of its research objects is quite wide, ranging from the vast universe to tiny existences such as elementary particles, all of which belong to the research scope of physics. Because of this, physics deserves to be an important cornerstone for the research work of other natural science disciplines.
At the same time, physics is also a highly experimental scientific field that advocates rational thinking and focuses on logical reasoning. It widely uses mathematical tools to assist in expressing its own theoretical viewpoints, and can be said to be the most rigorous and precise subject among all current natural science subjects.
In addition to focusing on the static structure of matter, the discipline of chemistry also pays attention to dynamic chemical reaction processes and the energy changes that come with them. With the help of chemical experiments and their corresponding research methods, we have the ability to reveal the basic laws and operating principles behind natural phenomena. For example, in something like making a bomb, the proportions of different ingredients will lead to completely different effects, and the various reactions that occur between them are actually so-called chemical reactions. The explosion of the bomb is the result of chemical reactions between several substances under specific environmental conditions.
Although the above knowledge may sound difficult to understand, as long as you study and understand it in depth, you can easily master it and figure out the mystery behind it. "
