The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 279 The essence of civilization? Lao Zhu was dissatisfied: Isn’t it just boiling water? What’s there to study!
Just when the grandfather and grandson were curious, Prince Zhu Gaochi was carried to the attic by several eunuchs.

It could be seen that the prince was not in a calm mood at the moment.

He was breathing heavily, and his expression was slightly excited.

"Father!"

"My son believes that we should follow Tianmu's instructions and develop these many mineral deposits!"

"It can not only relieve the emptiness of the Ming Dynasty's treasury, but also provide relief work to help people everywhere have a job to make ends meet!"

"Besides, isn't Zheng He returning to the capital soon? If the minerals can be mined in time, the Ming Dynasty will be able to export more goods!"

Zhu Gaochi's voice made both Zhu Di and his grandson stunned for a moment.

Is this what Prince Renyi would say?

Doesn't he know that if he wants to control those mines, he must send troops?

But Zhu Di quickly realized that if he could make a living for the people of the world, the sacrifice at this moment would indeed be worth it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di nodded heavily.

"I know!"

"Don't worry, when the King of Han returns home from Goguryeo, we will let him march on the Northern Expedition. He will definitely take control of that silver mine!"

"As for the mines in other places, I guess you already have a solution in mind!"

"I'll leave this matter to you and the officials from the East Palace!"

Several people in the Forbidden City reached a consensus.

Elsewhere, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han who led the army to conquer Goguryeo, looked at the sky scene and then at the ground beneath his feet.

My throat couldn't help but growl.

Is the Iron City on the map the place where he stepped?

This is an iron ore mine...

An inexplicable throbbing arose spontaneously, and Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but imagine the scene where he would become the common master of the world after taking control of the Iron Capital.

However, let’s think about it!
As long as the old man is here, he is just a general who conquers Goguryeo.

However, Zhu Gaoxu was not panicking. Based on his understanding of the old man, he would never let go of the "Silver Capital" on the grassland!

When the time comes for the Northern Expedition, won’t he also have to rely on him to lead the army?
At this moment, Gu Sheng was scratching his head.

How many years have passed since graduation, why are you still reading things in geography books?

I can't understand anything!
As soon as the video ended, Gu Sheng exited the related search interface. He moved his fingertips slightly and the picture changed instantly!

[How to understand the sentence that the most advanced technology of mankind is to boil water? #civilization#technology]

[There is a very popular argument on the Internet nowadays that the essence of human civilization is to boil water and throw stones. 】

[The former refers to the way to obtain energy, and the latter refers to the way to utilize energy. 】

[The two are not just "burning", "water", "throwing" and "stone" literally. Even nuclear power plants and future controllable nuclear fusion can still be regarded as "boiling water", and moon landing rockets and strategic missiles can also be regarded as "throwing stones". 】

[Human beings have always been doing these things: 1. How to throw stones farther; 2. How to boil water better. 】

[But back to the basics, what does boiling water mean? 】

"This is reasonable, but discussion is the origin of civilization, but it is not the essence! 》

"The history of mankind, in the final analysis, is about throwing stones and boiling water. In essence, 5000 years of human history can be summed up in one sentence: the use of tools and the industrial revolution, the steam engine! 》

"How advanced a civilization is depends fundamentally on its ability to obtain and utilize energy, of which the ability to obtain energy is the most important. 》

The words "boil water and throw stones" contain enough meaning for mankind to explore for another five thousand years! 》

"Don't worry about what's in the boiled water, just drink it, it's good for your body!" In ancient times, people often fell ill. Many of them were caused by drinking raw water. After boiling the water, they recovered soon? 》

"What to use for burning, how to burn, and how to use the energy generated by burning?" These are big problems! 》

Under the canopy of the sky, countless eyes were raised, and then they fell into deep doubts.

Isn't it just boiling water? What's so hard about this?
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qu Yuan left the Miluo River and sat around the fire after returning to his residence.

He looked at the steaming pot in the stove, and then looked at the so-called discussion on boiling water on the ceiling.

A wave of doubt arises.

Water boils when exposed to fire, isn't it exactly boiling water?

Is there some secret hidden there?
But no matter how Qu Yuan looked at it, he still couldn't understand what mystery there was in this simple matter of boiling water.

Great Qin.

In the powerhouse of the Mohist family, with the common sense of countless Mohist disciples, they finally fully mastered the proportion of gunpowder and cement.

Just when the Mohist giant was about to go to Xianyang Palace to claim credit.

The picture that appeared on the sky screen instantly caught his attention.

what's the situation?
Boil water, throw stones?

Is this the only understanding of the world that future generations have?

As one of the hundred schools of thought, the Mohist master was naturally not a reckless man, but was familiar with many classics.

Because of this, he became even more puzzled by the inexplicable and ridiculous statement on the sky screen.

But Juzi knew very well in his heart that since future generations could say such words, they must have his profound intentions.

Three Kingdoms.

In Shu, Zhang Fei directly expressed that he could not understand.

But he was very curious in his heart.

He looked at Guan Yu with suspicious eyes and a slight confusion in his tone.

"Second brother, when you warmed the wine to kill Hua Xiong, did you drink boiling water?"

"Look at what's said on the screen, maybe drinking boiled water will have miraculous effects?"

In this regard, Guan Yu only said that he had no fucks to say.

Third brother is fine in everything, but his brain is not very good. Can he drink boiled water?
Datang.

Xuanzong Li Longji felt that the sky tonight was particularly exciting, and every moment of the scene would bring a new experience to people.

This is not.

One moment we were discussing the location of the world's mineral veins, and the next moment it turned into a question of boiling water?

Fortunately, Li Longji has long been accustomed to the changes in the sky, and he only feels a little weird at the moment.

What do future generations mean by this?
Isn't it just boiling water? Who in the world doesn't know the process of boiling water?

What to burn with?

Naturally, use a kettle, a stove, and coal!
But it's just a fire, is there any mystery behind it?

Li Longji couldn't understand. What made him even more confused was, what explanation should be given for throwing stones?
The lethality of a small stone is far less than that of a salvo of bows and arrows!
Ming dynasty.

Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang frowned again.

This canopy is real, forget about those fancy and mysterious statements, he hasn't read much, so it's normal that he can't understand it.

But this "boil water" and "throw stones"!
Is there anything else that can be researched into this?
Set up a stove and boil a pot of water. If you use a big pot, you might be able to try those prairie barbarian ways of scalding mutton.

He understood the truth, but when these words were put together, Lao Zhu was dumbfounded.

"We just don't understand!"

"What's there to study about boiling water?"

"Why don't you tell us more about the locations of the mining areas, so that our Ming Dynasty can be stronger, and maybe we can extend our country's foundation for hundreds more years!"
