In the autumn of 1793, the comet pocket watch presented by Macartney resonated with the armillary sphere of the Qintian Prison, binding the souls of Qianlong and George III to each other. In the Forbidden City, the "King of England" used the investigation of the Gansu relief case to implant an audit system and hid the steam engine drawings in the folder of "Sikuquanshu"; in the Tower of London, the "Qing Emperor" cut off the opium trade with a smoking ban, but used East India Company cargo ships to transport the archives of the British Parliament back to the British Parliament. The White Lotus Uprising broke out at the same time as the Napoleonic Wars. The two emperors shared the synodic consciousness and conveyed the spark of civilization through secret seals and logbooks: the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau used Birmingham steel to cast cannons, and the Manchester factory improved textile machinery based on "Tiangong Kaiwu". When Humen seized in 1839 not opium but the blueprint of the joint fleet, Lin Zexu and the Duke of Wellington jointly suppressed silver speculators, and the Rothschild family was defeated in the tea brick futures war at the Yangtze River Estuary. In 1840, when the Awakening of Insects struck, the bells of the Imperial Ancestral Temple and Westminster Abbey in Beijing rang at the same time, and the submarine cable passed through the 30th parallel of north latitude that rewrote history - the edict that triggered the Opium War eventually became the opening seal of the Yangtze River-Thames Mutual Trade Treaty. The world has never been so divided, and due to an absurd dislocation, it is moving towards rational fantasy amidst the sound of gears: when the "co-ownership of the world" and the "divine right of kings" deconstruct each other, for the first time mankind has used gunpowder and tea instead of guns and blood to complete the foundation of world history.
