You Were Just Asked to Play a Game, So How Did You Become a National Hero?

A common problem with this kind of books is that in order to make the protagonist appear wise, you have to delete the things that have been used in the achievements of civilization for thousands of years, and then there will be a weird feeling. The protagonist is obviously very powerful in the book, but he will appear stupid. This problem is difficult to solve

If China had not had the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project since the Qin Dynasty, its impact would have been far-reaching and multifaceted, and could have completely changed the historical course of southwest China and even the entire country. The following is a specific analysis: ### **1. Agriculture and Economy: The Disappearance of the Land of Abundance** - **Desolation of the Chengdu Plain**: The construction of Dujiangyan (about 256 BC) allowed the water flow of the Min River to be scientifically distributed, transforming the originally erratic Chengdu Plain into a stable irrigation area. Without Dujiangyan, the Sichuan Basin would have been plagued by alternating floods and droughts for a long time, making it difficult to cultivate the land. - **Grain production plummets**: Dujiangyan supports an irrigation network of approximately 5,300 square kilometers, making the Chengdu Plain one of the most important granaries in ancient China. Without this project, Sichuan's grain production may not be able to support large-scale population growth, and it may even need to rely on external inputs. - **Shift of economic center of gravity**: In ancient China, the economic center of gravity may have been more concentrated in the Yellow River Basin, and the development process of the Yangtze River Basin may have been delayed for hundreds of years, resulting in an imbalance in the economic structure between the north and the south. ### **2. Politics and Military: Weakening of Strategic Locations** - **It is difficult for Shu to become the center of separatist regimes**: Historically, Shu (Sichuan) has become the base of separatist regimes many times due to its wealth and dangerous terrain (such as Shu-Han in the Three Kingdoms, Shu in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms). Without the economic support of Dujiangyan, Shu may not be able to remain independent for a long time due to lack of resources, weakening its strategic value. - **The control of the central government declined**: After the Qin Dynasty surrendered, the Central Plains Dynasty strengthened its management of the southwest frontier by controlling the Sichuan Basin. If the area is barren, it may be difficult for the central government to station troops or collect taxes, making border governance more challenging. - **Expansion blocked**: During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he explored the southwestern barbarians and opened up the southern route of the Silk Road through the Shu region. If the economy of the Shu region was weak, the Han Dynasty's expansion to the southwest might lack a logistical base, which would affect the formation of the frontier territory. ### **3. Population and Culture: Immigration and the stagnation of civilization** - **Hindered southward migration of the population**: Historically, wars in the Central Plains often triggered southward migration of the population, and the prosperous Sichuan was one of the important destinations (such as after the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Anshi Rebellion). Without Dujiangyan, immigrants may shift to other areas, resulting in long-term depopulation in the southwest. - **Reduced cultural diversity**: Due to economic prosperity, the Shu region has given birth to a unique Bashu culture (such as Sanxingdui-the subsequent development of Jinsha civilization, Shu brocade in the Han Dynasty, and Shu studies in the Tang and Song Dynasties). If the economy falls behind, cultural development may stagnate, and the historical roles of Shu literati such as Li Bai and Su Shi may be rewritten. - **Changes in the interaction of ethnic minorities**: The barrenness of the Sichuan Basin may have reduced the interaction between the Central Plains dynasty and the southwest ethnic minorities (such as the ancient Qiang and Nanzhao), and slowed down the process of ethnic integration. ### **4. Technology and Engineering: Faults in Water Conservancy Tradition** - **Water Conservancy Technology Lags**: Dujiangyan is a model of dam-less water diversion, and its concepts of "deep shoals and low weirs" influenced later water conservancy projects (such as Ling Canal and Zhengguo Canal). Without Dujiangyan, the development of water conservancy technology in ancient China would have lacked key examples, and the accumulation of water control experience would have been limited. - **Regional development model changes**: The success of Dujiangyan promoted the idea of ​​"taking advantage of the situation" in water control. Without this case, the ancient regime may have been more cautious in investing in large-scale water conservancy projects, and even affected the planning of national projects such as the Grand Canal. ### **5. Environment and Disasters: Chain Reactions of the Ecological Chain** - **Frequent Floods and Ecological Deterioration**: The water coming from the upper reaches of the Minjiang River is fierce. Without the flood diversion and sand discharge functions of Dujiangyan, the Chengdu Plain may have been plagued by floods and sedimentation for a long time, and the land will become more salinized and eventually degraded into swamps or deserts. - **Biodiversity reduction**: The stable irrigation system supports the rice field ecosystem in the Sichuan Basin. If the environment deteriorates, local animal and plant species may be significantly reduced, affecting the regional ecological balance. ### **6. Alternative possibilities and historical assumptions** - **Limitations of other water conservancy projects**: It is difficult for ancient small water conservancy facilities (such as Pitang) to replace the systematic function of Dujiangyan, and the development of the Chengdu Plain may be limited to scattered areas for a long time. - **Risk of external dependence**: If Sichuan cannot be self-sufficient, the Central Plains dynasty will need to transfer grain supplies from Jiangnan or Guanzhong, which will increase the cost of maintaining political stability and even trigger more frequent famines and civil unrest. ### **Conclusion: Subversion of historical trajectory** Without Dujiangyan, Southwest China may have been marginalized for a long time, leading to the following chain reactions: - **Economically**: The pressure on the Yellow River Basin has intensified, and the development of Jiangnan may be advanced, but the national economic map will be more uneven. - **Political**: The centralized control of the southwest has weakened, border conflicts have increased, and the stability of the unified dynasty has declined. - **Cultural**: The Bashu culture withered, the interaction between the Yangtze River civilization and the Yellow River civilization decreased, and the diversity of Chinese civilization was damaged. Dujiangyan is not only a water conservancy project, but also a key node in shaping Chinese history. Its absence will lead to a China with uneven resource distribution, unbalanced regional development, and weakened civilizational vitality, and may even rewrite the overall trend of East Asian history.

It's very interesting, but the poison started in Chapter 48 But it felt too much to say poison. In Chapter 48, the supporting characters started to lose their wits, and the ancient conflict routines came into play. It was so annoying to watch.

I don't want to read so many exchanges and pretentiousness. I read your book because I want to read about big infrastructure and big projects. In reality, big projects are too slow and are the work of several generations. I've long been tired of pretentiousness. Hurry up and write about infrastructure, data, and effects.

The subject matter of this book and the plug-in settings are very good. But the flood of criticism started before it even hit the shelves. What did the author think? If you use routines and slaps over and over again, how about you stop writing a paper? Regarding the necessity of repeated use of routines and slaps?

This book is both cliche and cliché. A story about Dujiangyan flooded for more than 40 chapters before a seminar was held to discuss the correctness and feasibility of the project. There are also cliche plots of pretending to be a slap in the face.

It's still interesting at the beginning, but when it comes to the emotional line, it doesn't look good. After skipping seven or eight chapters, it's still there, and it also has a clichéd trick of being smart and a slap in the face, which I can't stand anymore.

On one side is a rapidly developing society, on the other side is a clear and ignorant barbarism that has no brains and is screaming in the head.

Let's not talk about the plot for now. There is really no need for the male protagonist's inner drama. He knows in his heart that it is indispensable to help the country. There is no need to keep emphasizing what benefits he will prepare later. Especially when I saw the male protagonist thinking about coming over after seeing the price of the pen, I was really speechless. Has the author never seen money in real life? The layout is too small.

Selling dog meat by pretending to be a sheep, this should be from Xuebawen, and has nothing to do with the game, 7 points, not bad
