The Measure of Time and Space: Mystery of the New Dynasty

When Wang Mang's vernier caliper pierced the wall of historical dimensions If you think that time-travel dramas are still following the routines of "Kowloon Seizes the Progeny" and "Brother Loves Me" - please accept this book "Time and Space Ruler: The Lost Traces of the New Dynasty", it may use a bronze caliper to knock your view of history to pieces. When a "traveler" meets a "traveler": the worst peer involvement in history The most wonderful setting of this book is that the protagonist Qin Feng is not the only time traveler. The Wang Mang he meets is the real senior. When the 21st century archaeologist fell into Chang'an in 9 AD and was about to use modern knowledge to flex his muscles, he found that the new emperor Wang Mang was smiling at him with a homemade vernier caliper: "Brother Qin, are you here too?" At that moment, Qin Feng's expression probably resembled that of a wanderer who heard the local accent in a foreign country - if "local accent" refers to quantum physics and the theory of the primary stage of socialism. The author used this wonderful counter-routine to complete the dimensionality reduction attack on the time-travel theme. Other time-travelers were still reciting Tang poetry and Song lyrics to shock the literati. Qin Feng was already facing a "socialist pioneer emperor" who nationalized land, banned the slave trade, and promoted a planned economy. What's even more absurd is that this senior's reforms are on the verge of collapse because they are too advanced, and what the protagonist has to do is to help him "take a smaller step" - this is probably the most frustrating golden finger in history. History is a programmer, and we all live in bugs The core philosophical proposition of this book is hidden in the shocking reversal in the fifth volume: the so-called "corrective force of history" is actually a "time and space order system" guarded by the national master. Those mysterious symbols are not witchcraft incantations, but maintenance codes from high-dimensional civilization. When Qin Feng found out that every suggestion he made was accurately predicted, the feeling of horror was no less than finding out that he was living in the world of Truman. What's even more amazing is that Liu Xiu, the real executor of the system, was acting out the drama of "destined destination" while complaining in his heart: "This generation of time travelers is really difficult to lead. We need him to play his role, but we can't let him change the script." This setting allows the entire book to jump out of the binary opposition of "changing history/following history" and enter into a more profound discussion: If history is a program destined to be written, what is the significance of individual struggles? Qin Feng's answer is: "Even if the trunk cannot be changed, the branches and leaves must grow better." - It can be called the "Sisyphus Declaration" of the world.
