Some people say that modern Japan began with the "arrival of black ships". This is also a topic that the public has been exposed to but does not understand deeply. This book starts from the earth-shaking changes brought to Japan by the "arrival of black ships". The black ships brought about the energy revolution, and Japan began to modernize. Since then, the state-led, scientific and technological revitalization has brought about the goals of "colonial industry and prosperity, enriching the country and strengthening the military", "economic growth, international competition" and other goals, making the general mobilization system of national unity last for 150 years. During this period, why did Japanese science and technology achieve such "blowout" achievements? What heavy price was paid for this? Technology succeeds and technology fails. Since the Meiji Era, Japan's science and technology has gradually become mature and exposed its flaws. This is a book for those who want to understand Japanese technology, and it is also a thought-provoking book.
