About This Novel
[During the Renaissance, China's book production speed lagged far behind Europe] China: The woodblock printing technology has been used for a long time to produce books. The cost is high, the speed is slow, and the types are single. It is almost impossible to find any documents related to science and technology. Europe: After Gutenberg invented the movable lead printing press, more than 20 million books were produced in less than 50 years. Knowledge of modern medicine, astronomy, physics and other subjects spread rapidly through books, laying the knowledge foundation for the scientific and industrial revolutions. [During the Renaissance, far fewer people in China dared to question ancient authority than in Europe] China: Almost no one dared to question ancient authority, and all innovations must follow ancient classics. Europe: Questioning ancient authority has become a trend. A large number of thinkers such as Erasmus and Bruno are violently criticizing ancient authority, which has accelerated Europe's entry into the era of scientific rationality. [During the Renaissance, the number of places where scientific research could be conducted in China was far less than that in Europe] China: Almost all important scientific research was monopolized by the government. The places where scientific research could be conducted were very limited, and the number of participants was extremely small. Europe: Countless universities, colleges, guilds, and museums have cultivated a large number of scientists and craftsmen, promoting the scientific and industrial revolutions. Open this book and truly understand why there was no scientific and industrial revolution in modern China!
