Chapter 475 World Technology Center
"If the father wants to tour the west, I suggest you wait another month or two, and it will not be too late to start after the new products and ships of the Engineering Institute come off the assembly line."
Ying Yu thought for a while.
Before the railway was built to Persia, it was too bumpy to travel thousands of miles by land, and the sea route was safer.
However, the current fastest Daqin Treasure Ship is not fast enough, and it will be more suitable after the steamship is launched.
"That's fine, the Xun Xun is not in a hurry, I'll just wait for a while."
Ying Zheng smiled and nodded.
"Your Highness, I have been unable to figure it out. Rome is so sure, can it take Carthage?"
"You must know that they have fought against the Carthaginians for more than ten years, but they have lost more than they won!"
"Carthage's leading general, Hannibal, is not an easy fool."
Wang Ben said suddenly.
As the deputy envoy of the Great Qin Privy Council, although Wang Ben is mainly responsible for guarding the internal history, he also often studies the world map. He also knows a lot about the two main opponents of the Great Qin, Carthage and Rome.
"Hannibal is indeed a rare commander in Carthage, but Carthage has long since sunk into the sky, and it is far from being saved by a single Hannibal."
"The higher Hannibal's prestige in the army, the easier it is to arouse the fear of those nobles. In particular, in order to stabilize the occupied area, Hannibal has recently started to imitate our Great Qin's implementation of some appeasement strategies, which has moved the interests of many nobles. In the Senate of Carthage, the impeachment of Hannibal is not uncommon."
"Furthermore, the high-level people in Carthage have recently put forward a new point of view, that is, under the great threat of my Great Qin, we should abandon the previous feud with Rome and concentrate the power of the entire Mediterranean to fight against the influence of Great Qin. Got a lot of compliments."
"And Hannibal is the gift they chose to win the trust of Rome!"
A look of disdain flashed across Ying Yu's face.
"This is too outrageous. If Carthage really does this, it will cut off its own arm. It's like a loved one hurting an enemy!"
Wang Ben couldn't help being dumbfounded.
"The short-sightedness and greed of the nobles, haven't you all seen it?"
"Not to mention too much, but when my Great Qin destroyed the Zhao Kingdom in the past, Li Mu, the commander of the Zhao Kingdom, died at the hands of Zhao Xiang Guo Kai, who was bought by my Great Qin?"
"Furthermore, when the Confucian Mansion was destroyed earlier, we also found a lot of evidence of collusion between the superficially-sounding so-called Great Confucianists and foreign races, not to mention the Western Regions where the weak prey on the strong."
Ying Yu said lightly.
Wang Ben's face changed for a long time, and it took a long time to calm down.
While mourning silently for these famous generals who fought for the country but died unjustly in the hands of their own people, I am even more grateful that I have encountered a good time.
Whether it is Emperor Shi Huang or Ying Yu, they are extremely tolerant, and it is definitely a very lucky thing to be a courtier under their hands.
"It seems that this Scipio is quite a character."
"It's a pity that I was born in Rome!"
Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hands.
"What the father said is very true."
"Actually, according to the information sent back by Jin Yiwei, the method of the Romans was stolen from us, Daqin."
"Nowadays, while countries around the world are admiring my Great Qin, they are also learning from my Great Qin's culture. All the Great Qin books will be regarded as the Bible when they arrive in Rome, Carthage and other places."
Ying Yu laughed.
Even if the control is stricter, with more and more exchanges, the spread of culture is inevitable.
Moreover, many deeds were originally spread by Ying Yu on purpose, in order to strengthen the attraction of Daqin culture to these exotic places.
Of course, advanced technology must not be leaked in the slightest.
"It seems that the learning ability of this foreigner is not bad."
Ying Zheng laughed immediately.
"Those who can develop into a regional power must have a few brushes, and this learning ability is part of it."
"However, they can't make a big impact. After all, the most critical scientific and technological inventions, my Daqin secrecy work is still relatively in place."
"Besides Daqin, those well-known and most capable scientific researchers and craftsmen were also sent to Daqin by various means, which once again widened the gap in strength between Daqin and foreign lands."
Ying Yu smiled slightly.
Even Archimedes, who had a very high influence in Syracuse, couldn't stay to come to Daqin, not to mention the other low-status craftsmen who can be described as miserable.
In fact, until a certain braided dynasty, the Central Plains was in the leading position in culture and technology, and no matter how bad it was, it was in a flat position. Only in a certain dynasty for hundreds of years, not only did it not make progress, but it regressed a lot. extremely high price.
It's a pity that those elders of the Manchu Dynasty have not been completely eliminated, and even those so-called "sage kings" who are still bragging about them have fooled many people who don't know the truth.
In Daqin, the common people do not lack enthusiasm, only lack of motivation.
To put it bluntly, if you want to engage in technology, the first problem is to make the people have enough food and clothing.
Only after the basic material needs are met, can there be room to consider further spiritual enrichment.
And what Ying Yu did was to let the common people see that as long as they work hard, they can have enough food and clothing, live in a big house, marry a wife, and live a prosperous life.
Among them, the simplest ones are reading and writing, practicing literature and martial arts. As long as you have the ability, you can be reused.
There is nothing more motivating to learn than after seeing how many people live better lives because of mastery of knowledge.
The same is true for technological development.
Today's Daqin, as long as it produces results, there will be generous rewards and various commendations, which are enough to make R&D personnel successful and famous, and they will have great face in front of relatives and friends. Naturally, everyone is full of motivation.
Even the disciples of the Mohist school who used to love non-attack all day long completely forgot this slogan and devoted themselves to the improvement of the machinery. In order to achieve results earlier, they can also cooperate closely with the former disciples of the public loser who were sworn enemies.
Among the common people, reading can change one's destiny, and one cannot be a political party. Studying medicine to help the world, or delving into science and engineering have also become the motto of parents in educating their children.
Among the state, county and county government schools, the students who study science and engineering have far exceeded the liberal arts.
The reason is simple. Science and engineering subjects are easier to be assigned to good jobs, easier to achieve results, and easier to achieve success.
This is the effect of good guidance.
Outside of Daqin, there is no scientific research environment.
If they make some achievements, they are not taken seriously, and they are still miserable, or they are targeted by the nobles, and they are randomly charged with heresy and blasphemy.
Even Archimedes is no exception.
The Syracusans respected Archimedes because Archimedes repelled the Romans several times, but few people were interested in Archimedes' scientific research, and no one was willing to spend money to support Archimedes. Mead's R&D.
In today's world, only Daqin is the real technology center.
