Dawn of Numbers

The world view is very lightly established, and the whole story is a bit like letting go of the witch. The dramatic conflict is a little lacking, but the description of the characters is pretty good, and the writing is a bit tender. It may not be as eye-catching as the intense conflicts in the early stages of some masterpieces, but it can be unfolded slowly, and it is quite impressive. The investment may not be so high-yield, but I still invested, because the completeness of the entire framework is okay, and there are no problems with expression. Come on, author!

Author, I checked the information and found that there were 100 million people in Europe during the Middle Ages. The author thinks about it carefully. The world view of your book is too small. And there are not many secret organizations in the world. After all, the economic base determines the superstructure. The country itself has occupied most of the resources and people. Although there is such an unscientific thing as the mage's portal. But Europe is a big place, and several people can't see each other for several years. This world is very transparent. You can understand any organization and how much productivity there is in the world? The reason why we feel that the world is very complicated is because the world is too big and people are too small. This feeling is similar to when you are in China and across the ocean in the United States. You have never been there, so the impression it gives you is what others have told you. Of course it touches me even more. I have never been to Shanghai or the provincial capital. To me, it is just a landmark on the map. I hope the author can write about this feeling and not write as if the world is just a small village.

The protagonist cannot build modern society by himself. For example, some farm tools, or the use of chemical fertilizers. Well, as well as some optics, mechanics, a lot, a lot, and a lot of engineering, cranes, and microscopes. Wait There is a magnifying glass, but isn't it the other way around a microscope? The reason why there is such a problem is that the entire public has not been mobilized. The wisdom of the people is infinite. It's easy to deal with the church. History has already told us the answer: Renaissance, ideological emancipation, 95 theses, Enlightenment, rational movement, etc.

Kind of pretty. . The main character is my cup of tea. .

Renaissance thought emerged in the Southern Elf Empire [Constitutional Monarchy]. On the pretext of reviving the art of the ancient Elf Empire, in fact it opposes the supremacy of the name of God in the church and advocates putting people first. Essentially, it is the elves [magicians] who have mastered advanced productive forces and opposed the old order. Dissatisfied with the spiritual rule of the church. It also laid the foundation for the subsequent rational movement and 95 theses.

Due to their beautiful appearance and universal magical physique, elves are used as high-quality slaves by various countries. Because of its terrain, as the only country in the south that can sail to the mainland, it has been the most prosperous port since ancient times. [As such a huge continent, humans occupy such a small territory and have not been destroyed. The only reason is either that the bugs are divided, or the number of bugs is actually very small. The reason why they are unable to farm is that their number is actually very small, so they can actually sneak across and hunt insects in the New World. But in such a difficult environment, an organization emerged. His goal is to make the elves strong and make the elves live a good life. The first goal is to liberate the elven slaves, and the second goal is to revive the elves. The first goal has been basically achieved. The second goal is the source of the Renaissance. This organization accounts for 5% of the elf population. Occupying all bureaucratic and important positions, all elves trust this organization. It is similar to a political party in reality, except that this party is very powerful and implements a one-party system. Those who suffer because of geography are also revived because of geography, and they are the natural winners of the great geographical discovery. In fact, this is very similar to history. Historically, Europeans believed that Africa was a dead land and the Atlantic Ocean was the sea of ​​death. Later, we went around some islands and reefs, and the great geographical discovery officially began.

If the protagonist wants to distribute newspapers, he must have papermaking skills. And papermaking and movable type printing can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. The protagonist writes a newspaper and sells it. I don't know what to complain about. Who are these newspapers for? And these newspapers will definitely be seen by other nobles, mages and churches. It will be clear at a glance that your things have violated everyone's interests. The most likely reason is that the church said that private individuals are not allowed to have movable type printing presses. And papermaking is not allowed to refer to everything belonging to the church. The church prints religious books to preach and declare to the outside world that they are God's will. The nobles don't care, they only care about whether you have devalued the knowledge passed down by them. And the mage will promote that magic needs to be handwritten on vellum to be most effective. In this way, the protagonist not only attracted the attention of all the nobles, but also worked in vain for a day, strengthening the religious authority.

I can't complain about this. Everyone can't read, so what's the use of getting him an ID card?

As the birthplace of the Renaissance and a Protestant area. Very open-minded. It is also a gathering place for merchants, magicians and craftsmen. They pooled their money to buy the city's autonomy. Freestyle appeared, springing up like mushrooms in the Elf Empire. Create a country where all the people are gifted with magic and have extremely high artistic attainments. Gathering 70% of the artists, 60% of the magicians, and 40% of the craftsmen in the human world. The apprenticeship system that was just introduced from the protagonist's country in the north was quickly replaced. Because all the more advanced trade union systems have been replaced. What replaced him was the university with the name of a church school, and the emergence of academia. It was also a systematic education system that evolved from family education due to the sparse population of the elves. It is no longer the nobles who are respected here, but the great magicians, craftsmen, and academic researchers.        Microscopy, periodic table of chemistry, medicine, mechanics, electricity and philosophy. I discovered the microscope by accident. Medicine emerged by buying corpses for dissection behind the back of the church. In the alchemy laboratory, from the original blind experiments to the current qualitative and quantitative analysis, the chemical periodic table emerged. It was not through breaking common sense that I discovered mechanics through personal experimentation. Such things undoubtedly indicate the emergence of a rational movement in such an elven empire. The rational movement, as the name suggests, recognizes that reasoning can be used as a source of knowledge. This is rationality.

Author, I have filled in a setting for you. First of all, as the top predator, bugs must occupy the smallest ecological niche as the top of the food group. And it doesn't produce items. It cannot occupy other ecological niches. So the territory occupied by one insect may be the territory of 34 tigers. Counting the places where they cannot survive, there may only be more than 100 million bugs on the entire continent. Don't think there are many, there were more than 100 million people in Europe during the Middle Ages. You can say that the living environment of bugs is very harsh, or that they require a lot of food. Bugs can only be supplied in rainforest forests and grasslands. But the mainland is so big that you might not even encounter one even if you walk for a long time. So you can sneak over and hunt individually. [This is also why the elves can prosper because of the port. But the protagonist's city wall is not good, because it has gathered a lot of bugs. The reason why the three moons form a triangle is not because of magic but because of gravity. That's when gravity is at its minimum. The tide is minimal, causing the bugs to be very aggressive and need to eat a special food to suppress them. And this food is where humans live. There is a large island or a small island to the east. After all, the continent has drifted. This didn't happen before, but it will happen when the drift passes and you can no longer eat it. Bugs can't swim.            To the east is a continent the size of Japan, with potatoes, tomatoes, rubber, etc. It is the south after all. There is also a special kind of food that has some kind of special pacifier. Can soothe bugs. Understand?           The points represent the distribution of bugs.

The author should not think that reform is simple. You have to consider the interests of all aspects. If you want to establish compulsory education, you have to face opposition from existing engineers and magicians. There is also opposition from the church, and the enemy you face will be the whole world. Give me an example. Your reform of the system is similar to the reform of modern Tsarist Russia. I don't think reform in another world will be simpler than reform in Tsarist Russia, only more difficult. Don't say that the protagonist has an army or something. The army is made up of people. Where did those people come from? Where do people with military literacy come from? It means you are from the nobility. How can you carry out reforms if you don't take care of the interests of the nobility? The talents of the protagonist are all from Guizhou, because only nobles can educate. As for what changed the Tsar? He has turned the military into another interest group. This also led to the subsequent rebellion of the army. Of course the more important thing is what is the reform for? When there is no reform, it is the best time to distribute benefits. Reform is often due to the emergence of new benefits. I suggest no reform. Spread ideas or be spread ideas. Developing technology will only be suppressed by others. Or to strengthen the rule of existing interest groups. And is the reform really useful? If the protagonist universalizes compulsory education, will the protagonist's industry need so many high-quality talents? The first industrial revolution did not require a large number of engineers for the second industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution required workers in large numbers, not educated workers. So knowledge education is produced by the aristocracy. The mage has a mage academy. ′

What spies did you guard against in the Middle Ages? I never understand why the protagonist wants to guard against spies? Spies are basically useless except in times of war. It is said that there were no patents at all in the Middle Ages. Other countries want to make it easy. The protagonist will feel that information is leaking everywhere. It's because the nobles, the masters of the country, and the nobles of the world are one family, and there's nothing wrong with them! It is a fact that when the two countries are at war, the nobles of the two countries can still have parties together, unless it is a blood feud. Does anyone have a relative who can tell me what's wrong with the action plan? For example, the protagonist's steam engine and other small toys! Are intermittent discs useful? I really want others to know that the protagonist's steam engine is very useful. Just poach someone and make him a minor noble. Technology spreads. There are only a few protagonists in total. How easy it is for people to take a peek!          ，，，， Protagonist, do you want me to see it or not? And don't imagine that you always use weapons instead of skills to beat others. Others are not stupid. Don't know how to learn yet? This is something that historically has led to the inability to learn, because there are collective interests that block it. In short, it's just one sentence. To bring in other people's perspectives and identities. Make the choice that is best for you. For example, the Pope knows that the protagonist can calculate a more accurate time, why not spend money to buy the protagonist's method of calculating this time?

Social development and change are actually quite simple. It means that everyone should not put themselves in their shoes and put themselves in their shoes. Everyone is complex, not single. Take an organization in the novel as an example, such as the Senate. The members of the Elder Pavilion are mainly the remnants of the previous generation. Beneficiaries of the current system. Their personnel are basically beneficiaries of the existing system. There is no difference compared to the previous generation. Then why do you still oppose the current system? It's fine if it doesn't require maintenance. No, it should definitely be to maintain the existing system. After all, the current situation of division is better than the situation of unity before, and the power is greater. More benefits. Are those people stupid or stupid, they have to challenge the current system. They are the beneficiaries of the existing system. So how can there be so many conspiracy organizations? Mainly for profit reasons. Why do so many high-level officials conspire? Can't maintain it? The Elder Pavilion is at best a small group. A small circle within an aristocratic circle. Maybe everyone knows him. On the contrary, his brother's brother is another noble. Who doesn't have relatives and friends all over the world? The level of the Senate is at the level between countries. Everyone has relatives everywhere. The author is advised to take a look at European history.
