Books I personally find good and interesting.
Mainly Otherworldly Stories and Romance (Game Stories Are Otherworldly Too)
I haven't found any good romance fluff to read lately T^T Could you leave a comment after you find a book here? ⊙▽⊙ P.S. I haven't found a book that suits me in ages. I'm in tears.

Author Teacher 🙂 This Age of Mythology Retelling can provide a lot of inspiration. In the form of a battle, Greece, Northern Europe, Egypt, and Atlantis are connected with myths and legends😊The story unfolds to crush the conspiracy of the previous Titan King Cronus. This game adds "mythical creatures" and heroic units to the basic framework of "Age of Empires". In addition to adding more restraint relationships between arms, a variety of mythical creatures of different sizes and styles make the battlefield more enjoyable. As the saying goes, it is very exciting to fight. The prototype is from Greek mythology, the mechanical bronze giant The four major camps that can be played in the campaign are also completely different in experience, from the most basic and conventional Greek civilization to something like "Age of Empires" 4", the Chinese civilization requires pharaohs to cast spells on buildings, the Egyptian civilization, the Nordic civilization where military buildings can only be built with combat units, and finally the New Atlantis civilization that adopts the policy of elite troops per capita hero units. All camps have completely different gameplay from operations to combat ideas. The same camp can also choose to worship different gods and focus on different schools when "upgrading". You can adjust your play style and ideas according to your own preferences or the configuration of enemies in the level. There are many levels in the entire campaign, but different civilization characteristics provide a strong sense of freshness. In order to produce special arms such as "mythical beasts", this game requires special resources "favor value". Each camp has a different way of obtaining "favor points". Greece requires farmers to kowtow around the temple, Egypt requires building monuments (up to 5), and Northern Europe is the simplest way to directly let the controlled units fight. 😝😝😝 In the "upgrade era" of this game, you need to choose the one that corresponds to the god. After selecting, you can produce the divine beast unit and the corresponding divine power, similar to the confidential agreement super weapon in "Red Alert 3". Hera's divine power is to create a large-scale thunder storm, Xuanyuan Huangdi's divine power is to summon the super elite unit divine beast Yinglong, Athena's divine power is to heal a large area… Currently, the game has released new DLC. The plot of the Chinese camp has nothing to do with Europe. The key is The design is very good and there is no disgusting "inherent impression". The quality is high and it is not like the design of Wai Guo Ren There is also this picture, Xuanyuan Huangdi's summoned beast (Ying Long). Of course, except for the fact that the wing design is not feathery, it is a pity that there are no other problems. Yinglong's wings in paintings during the Qin and Han Dynasties resemble bird wings, but in some small paintings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Yinglong's wings are like bat wings like Western dragons
Ballistics
The mathematical basis of external ballistics is Newton's three laws and the law of universal gravitation, first published in 1687. Otherwise, there is no way to calculate ammunition at all. In other words, before Newton's three laws, only empirical formulas could be used for gunfire. The "New Science" published by Tartaglia in 1537 was actually Tartaglia's public advertisement for job hunting. However, his work was kicked out of the textbook in 1590 because it was not accurate enough. ("New Science" laid the foundation of modern ballistics, but the book "New Science" believed that the cannonballs would fall vertically at the highest point. It made me laugh to death😃😃😃hahaha) Tartalia claimed that he had never fired a cannon. The book "New Science" had nothing to do with artillery at the beginning, but it was later practiced by Spanish people in large numbers In fact, it was written by Western ballistics has always been relatively slow to respond to mathematics and physics research. Artillery production and use systems are often inconsistent (for example, the British artillery during the Peninsular War once pulled out a bunch of Spanish Harborg-era cannons for supplementary purposes). The projectiles of muzzle-loading guns often use shrinking bullets, and the people who teach mathematics may not know how to shoot artillery. European artillery-related mathematics education can only cultivate intuition to a large extent (this was even the case in the 20th century. The preface to the US military-related textbooks in the 20th century also emphasized that practitioners who introduced the use of artillery were more capable of training and practicing artillery officers than mathematics professors. Benefits), many of those equipment are simply money-making gadgets - Galileo started to engage in ballistics back then just to promote his own equipment, but if you really plan to use these things that may even be based on Aristotelian mechanics to defeat the enemy, then you can only say good luck. The accurate hit range of traditional general artillery and Western artillery in the Ming Dynasty was actually the same "two hundred steps", and the Ming army had better conditions to spend money on target training. At the same time, those European mercenaries even skipped musket shooting because the economy and wages could not support it: (frontier fortress in the Jiajing period) and could see beyond the trenches. The terrain is vast. If you encounter a large enemy approaching the border and the officers and soldiers unexpectedly fire their weapons and crossbows from far and near, you should consider placing them outside the wall of the enemy's tower. This method is suitable and a mound of six to seven feet should be erected about two hundred paces above the suspected thief. If the thieves come to this pile, use the extremely distant divine cannon to attack. Invincible gunslinger. Use the cannon tip to point out the machine and other weapons to attack it. It's about a hundred and fifty steps up. Another mound of soil five or six feet tall was erected. Like thieves here. Then use weapons such as the Sub-far Divine Spear, the Erlang Machine Seven-Eyed Gun, etc. To attack them. About a hundred steps further. Then set up a mound four to five feet tall. Like thieves here. Then use the long-range arm, crossbow, arrow, rocket, three-eyed gun, Fran machine and other weapons to attack them at the same time. Then every shot will hit the target. No one is safe from harm. You will see thieves running and hiding. Don't dare to spy on my frontier. The 1849 "Supplementary Readings and Records" believes that the range of the open artillery and the foreign artillery in the Opium War are the same, two hundred paces: there is also a test target, the close one can only be one hundred lunges, counting fifty feet; the far one is two hundred lunges, counting one hundred feet; further away, it is vague and subtle, and the inspection is unreal. This is consistent with what Chen said, exactly. The most effective way to use early artillery is to put it close and aim directly. 😊 European science and technology also developed step by step. Some people think that Europe has been advanced for three to five hundred years or even more because of its advanced technology in modern times. How is that possible?
Lightning protection
The plot of the story ten years ago started out too cliche with the two women, with the eldest young lady opposing the protagonist, going through crises, and having their wishes ups and downs.
It looks good. The farming content is well written. The author has a rich reserve of knowledge. However, there is a small problem. The protagonist in the article pursues technology and engages in industry. The development process is a bit too "conventional" and lacks some "fantasy" elements. Although there is a magic setting in the book, the expressiveness is a bit poor. Many things are too common and lack some imagination. One of the books I read before, Sword of the Dawn written by Big Eyeball, was very well integrated. It brought out the sense of science and technology and industry in the magical world. The author can refer to it. Finally, I also look forward to the author's follow-up plot. Come on 😁
If an evolved officer is re-employed, it is
Are there any novels about the Industrial Revolution in a different world like this?
The author has a misunderstanding about the tactics of the volleyball era. The kind of machine-like shooting in rows is rare in reality, and it is of no use. Most of them are free shooting, and the firepower is more powerful.
It's really good-looking, the logic is rigorous and the plot is smooth. It feels comparable to Sword of the Dawn.
The one used by the protagonist is also socialist
It's not capitalism at all. Seeing what he did is like seeing Roosevelt's New Deal using socialist means. For real capitalism, you can look at the shock therapy currently being used in Argentina From the Great Depression in the United States to shock therapy in Argentina, history has repeatedly proven that completely laissez-faire capitalism is a dead end. Only reformed capitalism that draws on socialist regulatory tools can continue. During the Great Depression of 1929, the laissez-faire capitalism pursued by the United States completely failed: disorderly expansion of capital, market collapse, massive unemployment, and society was on the verge of revolution. The core of Roosevelt's New Deal was the introduction of "socialist" means such as state intervention, relief for work, labor protection, and taxation of the rich, which put shackles on capital, supported the bottom class, and ultimately saved the capitalist system. These "non-purely capitalist" measures are precisely the key to getting the economy back on track. Argentina's shock therapy is a negative example: it will fully privatize state-owned enterprises, abandon state regulation, completely let the market go, and hand over economic sovereignty to capital and foreign investment. The result is that key industries are monopolized, people's livelihood costs soar, and the gap between rich and poor is torn apart. The country is unable to fight back in the face of external shocks and repeatedly falls into economic collapse. Contrast shows that capitalism itself cannot solve its own periodic crises and class contradictions. The capitalism that has survived to this day is essentially an "improved version": retaining the foundation of private ownership, while using tools such as state intervention, welfare guarantees, and distribution adjustment to ease contradictions.
Just this group of druids... The protagonist should also consider adding political commissars to the army as a precaution 😰. If this group of druids are ignored, they may become the kind of mechanical guy next door who chants binary language in the future.
