At this time, the firearms developed by Zhang Jiao's disciples were more advanced than the Peruvian guns, but they were not yet rifled guns.
However, Su Fan estimates that it won't be long before these people develop rifled guns. Once they develop rifled guns, modern firearms will not be far away.
Historically, rifled guns appeared in the 15th century, but the rifled guns at that time did not take shape at all. It was only in the 19th century that real rifled guns appeared on a large scale.
In the next one hundred years, the earth's technology exploded, reaching that level of development in just one or two hundred years.
The scientific and technological development of the previous hundreds of years is not even as beneficial as the past few years.
Of course, the reason why it exploded was not only the emergence of super physical and chemical masters in the 20th century, but also the popularization of basic knowledge.
This is the most important thing, and the other is the emergence of war. In the first half of the 20th century, there were two world wars, which affected hundreds of millions of people.
War is the catalyst for science and technology. After all, science and technology itself starts with war and military. Even in the peaceful times of later generations, the most advanced frontier of science and technology is military.
For civilian use, it is completely transformed from technology that is not needed by the military.
On the Jiuzhou Taiping Road side, these people may not be able to compare academically to those great masters like Newton, but in terms of this practical technology, these people are definitely not bad.
First, he would use weapon refining methods to refine what he researched, and then research on large-scale manufacturing of machinery. Su Fan couldn't say what he meant by this method.
After all, research on earth does not have the means of these people. This may be a way for monks to study science. You cannot say that they take shortcuts and take evil paths.
As for basic science, Ma Yuanyi leads a group of people to study it anyway, and Ma Yuanyi prefers to study civilian technology.
Trains have actually been developed. Steam engine trains actually don’t have much technology to speak of.
Except for the steam locomotive, there is no other technology at all. All it needs is steel.
As for steelmaking, it is not difficult in itself for Taipingdao.
Steel has actually been around since the Qin Dynasty. After all, during the Qin Dynasty, those Taoist priests or Mohist craftsmen always discovered some kind of alloy during the process of refining weapons.
In fact, those fine golds are all refined and purified from ores. During the process, alloys were accidentally discovered, and steel is just the most common.
Therefore, steel had already been produced on a large scale during the Qin Dynasty.
The high-temperature steel-making furnaces built by monks are actually no worse than those of later generations. At least the output of steel in the Qin Dynasty was definitely not low.
Tens of millions of tons per year is nothing.
This is also because the demand for steel in Da Qin was not as high as in later generations.
Later generations of steel were mainly used in the construction industry, transportation such as automobiles and trains, machinery manufacturing, industrial manufacturing, etc.
In Daqin, the construction industry rarely uses steel, automobiles and other transportation. That is to say, carriages may require steel and machinery manufacturing, and the most common ones are soldiers and armor.
Moreover, for the armor of the elite army, steel is only the basic material, and various alloys need to be added to it.
Yes, Da Qin's alloy technology is also quite advanced. It is not a bronze alloy, but something similar to a high-grade special alloy.
Of course, most of the alloys are refined by monks using real fire. It is impossible to refine them by ordinary means.
After all, the temperature is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Great Qin did not study this kind of thing. After all, the monks' true fire was actually very ordinary. There were more than thousands of monks in Great Qin, and those in the Golden Core Realm could refine He Jin in batches.
Except for some of the craftsmen in the craftsman's office, the rest are Qi practitioners.
Some of Da Qin's technologies are still very advanced, but they cannot be popularized, and many of them cannot be manufactured without monks.
Nowadays, there are not too many qi practitioners in Taiping Dao. Although Zhang Jiao's direct disciples are all very advanced, not all disciples of Taiping Dao are qi practitioners.
Cultivation today is much more difficult than in the Qin era.
In addition to inheritance, the scarcity of heaven and earth spiritual skills made it very easy to get started in the Great Qin era, but now it also depends on qualifications. If the qualifications are not good, it often takes several years, or even longer, to get started.
This is also a kind of selection between heaven and earth. Only those with good qualifications can practice and reach a higher realm.
Getting started in martial arts does not require qualifications, but it does require the consumption of more resources. These resources are food and meat at first, but later they require things that contain wisdom.
The practice of martial arts may actually be more difficult.
Civilians are almost ineligible.
After all, those resources are almost all in the hands of powerful people from aristocratic families. Only civilians who have unparalleled qualifications and work for those aristocratic families will be trained.
Although the Tao of Taiping has the idea that all living beings are equal, it is impossible for every disciple to embark on the extraordinary path.
This is unlikely, there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of disciples.
If they really embark on the path of extraordinary cultivation, it is impossible for Zhang Jiao to afford it, and it is impossible to squeeze him dry.
Of course, the resources in Su Fan's hands are very easy. After all, even if there are hundreds of thousands of disciples, most of them are even in the Qi training period, and the resources consumed are not even comparable to a true fairyland.
Of course, Su Fan couldn't support it. After all, Kyushu would eventually move towards the end of the Dharma. This was the will of the human race.
But the future potential of Kyushu will not really be like that of Earth. After all, Kyushu is just blocked and can still be opened.
That's when the spiritual energy will be revived.
Of course, by that time, Kyushu might be able to leave with its own technology. At that time, it might be a big industry for cultivation.
One side is extraordinary, the other side is technology.
It's just that it's not easy to develop at that level.
We need to see what kind of power the mortals in Kyushu can create. Anyway, if it is just the technology of the first earth, then even if we go out of Kyushu, the power of mortals will still be pitiful.
After all, the power of the most powerful peace messenger on earth can only threaten the Yuanshen stage at most, and it is only a threat, and it may not necessarily kill the Yuanshen stage monks.
This kind of technology is not enough, and stronger power is needed, such as the technology of Swallowing Starry Sky.
But this requires time and talent to study.
This requires a huge intellectual population, which is simply impossible with the current literacy rate.
Jizhou alone has a population of about 300 million. Jizhou is considered to be the top state of Liu Han. There are almost a dozen such large states in the Liu Han court.
Of course, Sizhou, which has the largest population, has more than three billion people. The land of Luoshui is also the most elite place of Liu Han. ()
