Chapter 1104 A member of my generation

Chapter 1104 A member of my generation
Alfred Wegener was also reading The Road to Extinction.

When he saw Zhao Chuanxin put forward the "continental drift theory", he inevitably felt a great sense of loss.

Both Shengyu and He Shengliang.

I also feel that great minds think alike.

He was talking about continental displacement, while Zhao Chuanxin was talking about continental drift.

Zhao Chuanxin's description is more accurate.

However, Zhao Chuanxin, like him, did not know the mechanism of continental drift.

This encouraged him, at least he still had a lot of room for improvement.

The complicated mood did not affect his enjoyment of the book.

There are not too many novel scientific theories in Zhao Chuanxin's book.

Alfred Wegener participated in various discussions among German geographers, and they widely discussed geographical hypotheses including continental drift.

"I object."

"I don't agree with that either."

"Zhao Chuanxin may be able to deceive ordinary people, but he cannot deceive real geographers."

"Although he took photos, the evidence was vague."

Alfred Wegener would defend Zhao Chuanxin at this time: "You can't judge Mr. Zhao by the ability of ordinary people. He can go to the North and South Poles at the same time, and he can go to various parts of Africa to investigate. He can even take his children with him to protect them from harm. I think he must have more evidence in his hands, but the book "The Road to Extinction" is limited in length and cannot be any thicker, so he can only give a brief account."

Some people were convinced by him, while others still opposed.

"Wegener, have you ever seen a person who is proficient in geography, biology, chemistry, economics, politics, meteorology, history and so on? Have you seen one?"

Alfred Wegener was speechless.

"Haha, you haven't seen it, I haven't seen it, and no one here has seen it. Wegener, then what makes you agree with his various hypotheses?"

"Let's see what experts in other fields have to say."

Just like these geographers' workshops, scientists from other fields are also having discussions.

"How ridiculous! He actually talked about what humans looked like tens or even hundreds of thousands of years ago."

"He also cut off the earth's generation?"

"Does he understand economics? Well, he does, otherwise he wouldn't be able to reap the rewards on Wall Street..."

In every field, there are various kinds of dissatisfaction.

The final chapter of "Road to Extinction", which foresaw the future, was even ridiculed by the public.

What about the ozone hole, global warming, ocean garbage mountains, and car exhaust that can make cities several degrees warmer than suburbs...

It sounds like a true story.

Ah…tui!
We admire your ability to fight, Zhao Chuanxin, but who are you among the scientists?

The British Prime Minister even gathered people to refute Zhao Chuanxin's views and reject his unreasonable request to set up a protectorate.

Until many years later...these doubters were gradually slapped in the face.

……

Zhao Chuanxin is playing a film at the Lugang Town Military Academy.

He was wearing glasses and standing on the podium. Slides and films were played on the screen, and lights were turned on from time to time for everyone to take notes.

"Gentlemen, it is obvious that the methods of warfare have fundamentally changed compared to the fierce battle between Japan and Russia."

Zhao Chuanxin talked freely.

"This change is based on the development of tactical technology and equipment."

“The first is the increase in the explosive power, range and rate of fire of artillery ammunition.”

"The second is the large number of machine guns installed. The Balkan Alliance Army was equipped with at least 400 heavy machine guns, and the Ottoman Empire was equipped with more than 500."

"Then they used grenades, and I even saw weapons that were the prototypes of mortars. These were things we had already mastered, and they were no longer secret weapons."

"Everyone, what you are going to see next will definitely surprise you."

As Zhao Chuanxin finished speaking, the lights went out and the video started playing.

The video that appeared on the screen really surprised everyone in the Lugang Town Insurance Team.

First are the aircraft responsible for reconnaissance and bombing.

Then came armored cars, radio equipment...

However, the picture on the screen kept moving higher and higher, and when it reached the altitude of the plane, everyone saw a look of fear on the pilot's face.

The pilot pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Zhao Chuanxin. At this moment, the camera shook.

The scene changed, and the pilot's head drooped unnaturally...

"Ah this..."

At this point, the lights come on and the projector pauses.

The lights, slides and projectors are coordinated by puppet arms made by Xingyue.

Zhao Chuanxin slammed his fist on the podium: "Our armored vehicles are still in the research and development stage, but they are already using them. Our radios have just been put into use and there is still a long way to go, but they have already used them in war. This shows that we are lagging behind the world."

This is not a self-reflection conference.

Zhao Chuanxin doesn't need them to blame themselves.

He was just warning everyone.

Everyone was shocked by the change in the form of war in the Balkans.

But what was even more shocking was that Zhao Chuanxin broke the pilot's neck when he flew into the sky...

I can never say to anyone again - Why don’t you go to heaven?

The following video mainly shows the combat between the two armies.

The projector is temporarily turned off and the slides light up.

The slide showed a photo of a battlefield overhead, with formations and attack route lines manually added to it.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Due to the upgrade of the above war equipment, the army has switched to a dispersed combat formation instead of the group charge formation of the Japanese and Russian forces. When Benjamin led the army to resist the tax in Liangzhou, he used a dispersed formation of three people in a group."

"This formation makes more use of ground folds and trenches for concealment. It also protects its own troops from bomber attacks."

"The army will not stay in one place, but will be deployed over a hundred-mile section of the front line. Both sides will deploy their basic forces in the main directions."

"I call this tactic of attacking in a centripetal direction - centripetal attack."

"This battle proved that concentric attacks and outflanking and encircling attacks are extremely advantageous."

"It also shows that it is very feasible for our Insurance Team, Gray Axe Army, and Backwater Army to establish a huge firepower advantage to implement an effective impact. This is also the mainstream tactic on the battlefield in the next stage..."

"However, they are still in the transition period to positional warfare. Our advantage is that we have already learned and gotten used to this way of fighting."

“The Balkan League was able to defeat the Ottomans, which shows that if you want to win, you have to organize the allied strategy well.”

"If the Japanese start to gamble with the fate of our country and attack us again when I am not around in the future, as long as there is such a clue, we must immediately make combat deployments and dispatch troops from all over the country, including Lubin Prefecture."

"From the Yalu River to the Tumen River, defend the main direction of these hundreds of miles."

"Even if we don't have the ability to fight back..." Zhao Chuanxin drew a line on the curtain: "At least, I ask you not to let any soldiers in on this line!"

If they can't get in from here, the Japanese can only attack Fengtian from Lushun.

At least it won't be like the late stage of cancer, where its spread cannot be suppressed.

Everyone was in awe...

Zhao Chuanxin copied a lot of films, left photos, etc., and naturally someone made them into teaching materials.

Afterwards, the insurance team sent people to give lectures to the Backwater Army and the Grey Axe Army.

With Zhao Chuanxin around, at least we can race against time in the arms race.

What you have, I want.

What you don't have, I also want.

I haven't taken any action now, but if anyone makes a fuss, I'll beat them up.

Beat him up!
A hundred years later, these images were made public, causing an uproar.

After the meeting, Zhao Zhongyi and Zhao Chuanxin walked out side by side.

"Pass on the torch, aircraft designer Feng Ru successfully tested it, and we now have a reconnaissance aircraft."

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes were burning: "Not only reconnaissance planes, but also bombers and fighter planes."

"fighter?"

"Yes, the plane is equipped with machine guns and deflector devices, which makes it capable of aerial combat. Once enemy reconnaissance planes and bombers are spotted, shoot them down!"

Zhao Zhongyi was shocked: "That's really amazing! But what is the deflection device?"

Zhao Chuanxin lit a cigarette and gestured, "You've seen an airplane, right? An airplane has a propeller. There are several problems with installing a machine gun on an airplane. The first is the recoil problem, and the second is that the wind from the propeller will interfere with the bullet. The deflector device is specifically designed to solve the problem of propeller interference."

Zhao Zhongyi was confused and said, "I will tell Feng Ru to speed up the research and development."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Feng Ru could have developed abroad, but he resolutely returned to China. Don't worry about the salary. Those who do scientific research should do scientific research. Brother, you must not force the scientific research department to mix too much human relations and official habits, otherwise it will lead to talent loss..."

Lugang Town has already shown this trend, and it is also a necessary path for Chinese people at a certain stage of development.

Zhao Chuanxin once had a classmate who studied abroad and was engaged in scientific research.

When he was studying, he vowed to come back and pledge his loyalty.

Zhao Chuanxin could see that he was sincere.

But then he stayed out.

Given Zhao Chuanxin's personality, he would not hide anything and asked directly during the call.

The classmate smiled bitterly and told him: "Lao Zhao, I want to go back. Before I went back, the person who hired me told me a lot of things to pay attention to, including how to speak and do things... I know nothing about the ways of the world... Here I can do what I am good at."

Who wants to go down a dead end? How effective is it?
Zhao Zhongyi's face became more serious after hearing this: "In the past, you always said that a small boat is easier to turn around, but now the boat is not small anymore..."

"Brother, the Titanic, the world's largest cruise ship that sank this year, didn't always run in a straight line..."

"But didn't it hit an iceberg?"

"..."

After the meeting, it was time to go home from school.

Zhao Chuanxin went to preschool and prepared to take Zhao Zhengze home.

But Zhao Zhengze was having fun with his friends.

At this time, Yao Jia called and said, "Sir, are you still selling that book?"

Zhao Chuanxin was leading a group of three or four-year-old preschool children in playing slapping.

This is a kind of cardboard disc, which you buy in sets and need to cut yourself at home.

Each one has crudely printed images of characters, some based on the Four Great Classical Novels, and some based on the more upscale "Journey to the West".

Zhao Chuanxin held the mobile phone between his ear and shoulder: "Sold out?"

“It’s hard to find a book.”

A hint of pride quickly appeared on Zhao Chuanxin's face.

Everyone thinks he is a rough guy.

Zhao Chuanxin has said countless times that he is extremely talented and well-read. Do you finally believe it this time?
As for plagiarism, what scholars do is never called stealing.

Zhao Zhengze and his little friend Fan Paji were evenly matched and it was difficult to tell who was better.

The wins and losses are small, and the gains and losses are few, so the new generation of snotty kids focus on the newness of Paji.

Zhao Zhengze had just won, and he pointed at the card in his hand and said, "I want you to change it, this one is all sticky."

No matter how hard it is, it is still paper, and it is of poor quality. It will become soft and warped if you fan it too many times. Zhang Dazhu's son stiffened his neck and said, "I used this one to fan you. If you win, you have to win this one."

"No, you have to change it."

"Don't change!"

My goodness! The two kids set up a cucumber rack on the spot and started fighting with each other.

Zhao Chuanxin sat on the ground, glanced at it, and continued to make the call: "No need to print more, I still have stock on hand, I will ship it from Lugang Town later."

"You can print tens of thousands of copies and make a fortune."

Zhao Chuanxin scratched his ears and said, "Forget it. Selling books in China is still a loss. I still have a thousand Chinese editions on hand. I'll sell them all."

Yao Jia felt very sorry: "This is a great thing that can make me famous. Many people are willing to pay money to print the book."

"Wait a minute. Once the books are sold out, they will raise the price and print more copies later if they are not losing money."

Yao Jia said: "Your eldest daughter Zhao Lingjun called me and said that your book has also been sold out in Europe."

Zhao Lingjun has a mobile phone, but Wilhelmina doesn't.

Zhao Lingjun has the phone numbers of everyone in the local area network, but Wilhelmina only has the phone number of Zhao Chuanxin.

After Zhao Lingjun returned, he called every few days to harass people in China.

Sometimes she could chat with Guotie'er for half an hour, and sometimes she could chat with old Edward VII for a quarter of an hour.

If you don’t have phone bills, you can do whatever you want.

Of course, the calls to Yao Bing were the most frequent.

Zhao Chuanxin was definitely not ambiguous about making money from Europeans and Americans: "As many English versions as you want, I'll send them to you later."

After that, he added: "By the way, let someone find out where Kang Youwei's island in Sweden is."

hang up the phone.

The winner has already been decided on the Snotlout side.

Zhao Zhengze was defeated, but he was unharmed.

Zhang Dazhui's son Zhang Peng won, with a bruised face.

The loser had no choice but to accept the sticky mess, while the winner was gloating with a bloody nose.

Old Zhao seemed to be thinking about something.

Zhao Zhengze emphasized: "Zhang Peng, you must never play with this kind of sticky stuff in the future."

Zhang Peng stiffened his neck and asked, "Why?"

Zhao Zhengze took a step back: "At worst, I won't play with you anymore."

Since there were many children, he immediately chose another equally matched opponent - Jin Baochang.

This child has an interesting background.

He turned out to be the illegitimate son of Benjamin's father, Samuel Goldberg.

Since Rachel Kervis divorced him, Samuel Goldberg simply made the identity of his illegitimate child public.

That was the child he had with a prostitute.

The woman became the concubine of the foreigner Samuel Goldberg.

Samuel Goldberg lived a prosperous life in Lugang Town. For some reason, he gave himself a Chinese name: Jinbao Yanhuang.

So Jinbao Chang, his surname is Jinbao and his name is Chang.

Zhao Zhengze said to Jin Baochang, who had a mixed-race face: "Little foreign devil, let's fight!"

Jinbao often pulled out a card with the image of Zhao Da from "Journey to the West" from his dirty little hands and said, "If you want to play with me, you can only use your card of Sun Wukong."

The "Journey to the West" themed Paji is different from other ones. You have to go to the store to draw a lottery to get it. You can't buy it with money, so it is extremely precious.

The images of Zhao Da to Zhao Si are like the big and small jokers in a playing card, which are even more rare.

Zhao Zhengze rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, then I will use this Sun Wukong card to fight you."

Jin Baochang looked at him, his eyes widened, and he pointed at Zhao Zhengze and said, "Zhao Zhengze, you are cheating. You are the Monkey King in Journey to the West, and I want the Monkey King in Journey to the West."

Zhao Zhengze saw that it was difficult to get away with it, so he had no choice but to look for his father and stretched out his hand: "Dad, give me my Sun Wukong."

Zhao Chuanxin took out a handful of puffs from his pocket, picked out the majestic Monkey King and handed it to him.

This is the papaji that he kept for Zhao Zhengze.

Soon, Zhao Laoer lost the Monkey King.

He was furious!

He pinched his waist: "No, I want to win back!"

Jinbao Chang, this kid looks dumb, but he has a lot of ideas: "I don't want to play anymore, if I want to play, I'll play other things."

"I'll fight you with two cards for one."

"No."

"Five!"

"Even ten is not enough."

So they started fighting again.

The beating was very intense, rolling on the ground, pulling hair, pinching neck, scratching with fingernails...

In a moment, the winner was decided.

Although Zhao Zhengze was covered in dust and dirt, he was unharmed.

There was a red mark on Jin Baochang's face, as if the oily skin had been scratched.

There was a small scratch on my forearm from a stone.

There was a hole in the back of the pants, exposing the butt.

However, Zhao Zhengze lost.

Jinbao was often very proud: "I won't play with you, you can do whatever you want, but don't bother to yell at me..."

Zhao Zhengze was dejected: "Dad, let's go home."

Zhao Chuanxin grinned and stood up, dusting off his butt: "Let's go."

Halfway through the walk, Zhao Zhengze started to act like a bear: "Dad, I can't walk anymore."

Zhao Chuanxin raised his eyebrows: "Then Dad will hold you."

"No, my mother said that children cannot be held in arms, it is bad for the body."

"Then let's take a break."

Zhao Zhengze nodded and glanced at the store nearby: "Dad, let's go there and take a rest."

"..."

You are quite good at choosing places, aren’t you?
They arrived at the bench outside the store and sat down, one adult and one child.

Zhao Zhengze kept looking towards the store: "Dad, it's crowded inside, I'll go take a look."

Zhao Chuanxin was unmoved: "Okay."

Zhao Zhengze didn't look tired at all. He rushed into the store and lingered around the lottery.

"What do you want to buy?"

"I'm not buying anything. I'm waiting for someone."

"Who are you waiting for?"

"I'll be waiting for whoever comes to draw the lottery later."

"..."

Zhao Chuanxin finally understood what this little bastard was planning.

He walked into the store and pointed to a set of raffle tickets hanging on the shelf: "Give me that one, I'll buy it."

As he said this, he slapped the money on the counter.

Zhao Zhengze's face lit up with joy.

Zhao Chuanxin asked him to pick up the prize.

Zhao Zhengze picked one open and said: Thank you for your patronage.

Open one and say: Thank you for your patronage.

After hearing six "thank yous for your patronage" in a row, Zhao Zhengze's face turned green.

Until the seventh one, a bear mountain was dug out.

Zhao Zhengze gritted his teeth.

Another seven thank yous for your patronage.

The eighth one dug out a Golden Horned King.

Zhao Zhengze knelt on a chair and slapped the counter, making a ping-pong sound.

The boss was annoyed: "Hey, what are you doing? If you break it, you have to pay for it."

Zhao Chuanxin didn't say a word the whole time.

Zhao Zhengze tried to dig it all out, but still couldn't get the pleasure he wanted.

Zhao Chuanxin then said, "So, acting on impulse usually doesn't end well. So, before you act greedily, think about whether you can bear the consequences. Your father and I have money, but there are many things that money can't buy."

The boss gave out the prize - a few tickets.

What a trap.

"Dad, what should I do? I only have a Monkey King."

Zhao Chuanxin told his boss: "Are there any more awards? Can I pick and choose?"

"sure."

The boss took out another stack of awards from under the counter.

Zhao Chuanxin fiddled with it for a long time before finally picking out the prize.

The first one is the jade-faced fox.

The second one is the King of the Kingdom of Women.

The third one is Princess Iron Fan.

Do you think Princess Iron Fan is ugly?

As the saying goes, male Rakshasas are extremely ugly, and female Rakshasas are extremely beautiful.
