Chapter 152 Confused

Queen Victoria succeeded to the throne from 1837 until her death in 1901, and this period of her reign was called the Victorian era and belonged to the Golden Age of England.

The Victorian era followed the George era and the Edward era later, and was considered to be the peak of the British Industrial Revolution and the British Empire. Putting aside all emotional tendencies to make objective evaluations, the British Empire during this period really went to the top of the world.

The Victorian era was considered the pinnacle of the British Industrial Revolution and the heyday of British economy and culture. At that time, Britain's economy accounted for 70% of the world. At that time, Britain's industrial production capacity was larger than the sum of the world except for it, and its foreign trade volume exceeded that of any other country in the world.

This unprecedentedly prosperous empire has attracted the attention of both the old and new worlds.

In this era, the wave of scientific inventions was surging, people believed in scientific progress, and were full of unprecedented optimism and confidence in the industrial revolution. The emergence of steamships led to unprecedented prosperity and prosperity in transportation and trade, and well-connected railway transportation ran through the east, west, south and north.

The politics, economy and society in Britain were changing rapidly, and it was a prosperous and prosperous era in which science, culture and industry developed greatly. The development of printing technology promoted the unprecedented prosperity of literature and art. During this period, the progressive concepts of gender equality and racial equality were also formed. The abolitionist movement in the United States was a manifestation of this progressive idea.

It can be said that this is the most powerful so-called "Empire in the Sun" period in Britain.

Many historians even believe that the true end of this fascinating era is after the end of World War I-

It was not until 1936 that the Crystal Palace, which was built during the First World Expo, collapsed, and truly declared the end of the Victorian era.

Although Mr. Smith is not a specialist in history, as a successful person who has no one behind him but has reached a certain level of success, he is naturally not a fool who is ignorant.

Therefore, after two days of ignorance, he determined the background of his time, which was close to the Victorian era at the end of the 19th century.

Of course, the rational confirmation of this matter does not mean that his sentiment can be taken for granted. The United States is not as prosperous as China's online literature industry, nor is it the baptism of various time travel novels that are popular, so Mr. Smith naturally does not have that ability to accept it.

In the 19th century, London was seriously polluted and filled with fog. It was thick and lasting for a long time. The weather seemed cold and humid and gave people a depressing feeling...

The rain fell on the streets of Baker Street, and the street lights on both sides were lit. The dim orange-yellow color reflected the trajectory of the sloping rain line. The rusty black iron railings slowly dyed with wet water vapor...

Except for the flashing fireplace fire in the windows of some houses, many houses on both sides of the street are actually pitch black, and there are no lights on. Occasionally, there are bulky four-wheeled carriages passing by this street...

God knows how shocking and inexplicable it felt when he saw such a scene for the first time!

Smith even doubted that he had walked into a Victorian landscape painting. This must have been a joke between God and himself. He survived the explosion of five conventional-equivalent nuclear missiles. Not only did he not die or even was injured, but he was intact and woke up again in the British capital during the Victorian era?

If God who is not the perfect God who has contributed all this, he must be a demon with great power and can easily subvert the lasting past!

Smith didn't doubt that it was a dream or hallucination, but in the past two days he suppressed all kinds of complex emotions and used his advantages of being cautious, careful and careful, starting from the details—

Then he was shocked to find that this was a real world...or it was not real, but humans no longer had the ability to distinguish the problems!

If the devil can't find any problem in details, if he can't even find any details, then there is no difference between whether he has fallen into a virtual world like a brain in the tank, or has truly returned to a past period of history.

Just like those 3A masterpieces that cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, a world reflected in various next-generation games, it is naturally very realistic, with real pictures, delicate characters, and reasonable plot background...

Anyway, you can blow whatever you want, just like a real virtual world.

——But if you start from various details, it will not be enough.

For example, in the file archives in the game, except for the related texts, when you walk into a library, thousands of books will definitely have only one sticker, and you can't open it at all...

For example, every NPC in the game world looks vivid and lifelike, no different from a real person. "They" can fluently engage in various plot dialogues, with reasonable and logical principles, and can even express corresponding emotions based on the scene.

But "they" are always programmed in advance, and they only have specific plot dialogues, and do not have a complete life and past.

Moreover, once they go beyond the scope of the "plot", "they" will not respond in any way.

Although it is not about copying the game's settings, it is probably just like this, the devil is in the details.

If it is a false world, if you want to reproduce everything from the Victorian era and simulate real history 100%, it is definitely an unimaginable advanced technology and a huge project.

Mr. Smith, who always had some concepts and understanding of this aspect, tried his best to think about it, and tentatively started from these aspects and studied some details about this strange world, but it made him dizzy.

This world is absolutely true for human perception and ability. No matter what the truth behind it is, it is absolutely true for him!

——As long as you make this clear, it will be enough!

I didn't actually die in the nuclear explosion, but instead returned to London, England in the 19th century?

...

...

Standing in front of the window, looking at the gloomy night on Baker Street outside, the dim street lights were not illuminated, and Mr. Smith was in a state of confusion. He looked back at the living room and saw the blazing fire in the fireplace emitting a warm light.

The fire illuminated the dim living room and brought warmth, dispelling the lingering cold and dampness of London during this period.

This made Mr. Smith feel a little relieved. Although he didn't understand why, after he woke up at the house at 44 Baker Street, some vague memories appeared in his mind.

To be precise, it is more like a piece of his personality information in this historical period and in this world.

This prevented him from becoming a black man, and he had a reasonable past. The most important thing was to give him enough finance to live here without considering other troubles for the time being.

The role he played in this world seems to be a lawyer, a middle class, with an annual income of nearly 500 pounds... If it were before, Mr. Smith would definitely not be able to convert how much it was.

However, because of the inexplicable impressions and cognition that came out in his mind, he knew that this was already considered a high-paying class. Generally speaking, if a single lady at this time had an income of 60 pounds, she could live a good life.

Although it refers to a "good" that suits one's own social class, it is definitely not comparable to those nobles, bankers and industrialists who earn more than 10,000 pounds a year.

Mr. Smith has not been to work these two days, and the problem does not seem to be big. He vaguely "remember" that he seemed to be sick a few days ago, so he has been resting at home these two days, which is also ridiculous.

Because the heavy fog in London was particularly severe two days ago, "he" could not see the road, so he fell into the Thames. It was originally a cold and wet weather, and the cold wind blew back all the way back, and naturally he fell ill...

This is really reasonable and convincing.

There are some faded wallpapers on the walls of the living room, and the floor is painted dark brown, with sofas, chairs, carpets, books and other things. The middle class has some spare money, so it is natural to have some decorations.

Although the house is not Mr. Smith, whether it is the person he woke up now or the person who represented the previous identity... This house was rented by Mr. Smith for a three-year lease period. During this period, he can use furniture carefully, but cannot destroy the interior decoration, and the landlord will assume the responsibility of renovating the house.

"What the hell is going on..."

Back in the seat in front of the fireplace, sitting down and staring at the fire, Mr. Smith frowned tightly, thinking about what he should do next, whether he should make a long-term plan or something.

He is not a fool. When he thinks about what he encountered before coming to this world, he has reasonable associations.

No matter which great and secret unknown existence planned this scene and created his current encounter, there is definitely a reason. It is impossible to simply compensate for his tragic experience, so he specially made his life come back...

Taking a step back, he didn't think he was a good person. Although he was not completely full of sin and blood, he was definitely the kind of person who could not go to heaven.

Mr. Smith is quite a bit of a b-sense about himself. During these two days, he gradually accepted reality and made up his mind that whether it is a god or a demon, he would kneel down to praise the other person's greatness.

It is precisely because he knows how terrible it is to be killed by a nuclear explosion that he is now kneeling so simply and decisive. For him, the greatest god who can make him live and have life again is the greatest god, even if the other party's essence is a demon.

And another key point is that his heart is filled with anger and hatred towards the US government...

Now, Mr. Smith is just wondering what the unknown great being wants to do and what purpose he wants to achieve... Why did he not give himself any instructions or orders?
