Imagining Modern Times

At the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong was proud of his powerful dynasty. However, an alien civilization suddenly descended on the earth and handed over the scientific knowledge and technology of his civilization to the royal families of the four most powerful kingdoms on the earth at that time. This scientific knowledge and technology made Tang Xuanzong's world view collapse, but it also shocked him, so the Tang Dynasty began to develop science and technology. The same was true for the Frankish Kingdom, the Eastern Roman Empire and the Arab Empire at that time. The arrival of science and technology caused the rapid development of social productivity. But after the alien civilization left, their royal families and nobles also saw the horror of technology. If technology was allowed to fall into the hands of the people, and if there was a civil uprising, the royal family and the nobles would not be able to compete. Therefore, various countries banned the private study of scientific knowledge and technology, and sent troops to carry out bloody massacres. From now on, scientific knowledge can only be learned by the royal family and nobles, and no civilians are allowed to learn science and technology. Ordinary civilians can only use technology, but cannot produce it. As a result, the entire solar system entered the feudal era. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
