As a person who traveled through time, Li Hui believes that his advantages mainly include two points. One is that he is a prophet of historical trends. Second, in terms of personal ability, he has more knowledge than people of this era for nearly seven hundred years.
and cognition.
For the former, there are actually some variables. Because Li Hui is not sure whether the world he came to is the real historical space. Whether the direction of the historical torrent will follow the original historical direction.
From Li Hui's point of view, the process of history may not be completely inevitable. If everything is inevitable, then the influencing factors and conditions must remain unchanged. In fact, the fact that he traveled here is itself a historical process.
A variable. Of course, someone as humble as himself may be just a speck of dust and cannot affect the general trend at all. However, the so-called butterfly effect is that small changes can have unpredictable and huge impacts, just like a balance that is stable, even if only one
The fall of a hair can easily break this balance.
Your own arrival may be just dust submerged by the torrent of history, but it may also be a silver carp stirring up a pool of spring water.
Because of this, Li Hui has always been careful to observe and use his foresight, because he may be misled by the inherent results. Regarding this first advantage, Li Hui needs to maintain an attitude of observation and skepticism at all times.
.
However, regarding the second advantage, Li Hui does not have so many worries. Because it is a kind of process and experience, it is another route. For example, with the development of science and technology, Li Hui can completely conclude that no matter whether the direction of history is in accordance with the
There are inherent lines, and the trend of science and technology will definitely move forward rather than backward. The awareness may be just the speed of time and the sooner or later the progress.
To put it simply, Li Hui believes that productivity will definitely develop. There may be twists and turns, but it will definitely move forward. Production tools and means of production will definitely develop, and the advanced will replace the backward. No one will give up the iron sickle and use it.
Stone sickle. No one chooses to pull a cart to plow the land by themselves when they have cattle and horses.
It is a trend for advanced to replace backwardness and efficiency to replace slowness. Except for extreme situations, such as major wars, floods, disasters, and world destruction, which will lead to retreat, this is the general trend. Therefore, instead of relying on the foresight of the historical process
, it is better to rely on the advanced production tools and production materials that you know, which surpass the science and technology and manufacturing technology of this era, and use the information gap unknown to people of this era to gain advantages. This is obviously more reliable.
In view of this idea, Li Hui will certainly work hard in this area. But the problem is that many things cannot be reproduced due to the level of technology and craftsmanship. This brings great difficulties and must be made according to local conditions. For example, making soap
The thing is, if you can't find caustic soda before, it's all in vain. Without electricity, you can't prepare caustic soda. Even if you know how to get it, you can't use it due to technology limitations, so it's still in vain.
However, the appearance of Ge Yuan made Li Hui seem to see a ray of light. What Li Hui needs is such a person, who can greatly broaden the boundaries and make the super-era things that Li Hui hopes to be copied become a reality.
For example, when Li Hui traveled through time, he felt that he should make gunpowder. However, this thing was not something he could make just by himself. The raw materials could be overcome, but the ratio and performance were not something he could solve by himself.
.If the performance is poor and the cost is huge, it is actually useless.
This requires specialized people to do this. Ordinary people cannot do it. People like Ge Yuan are undoubtedly the best candidates. He has the spirit and enthusiasm to study, and he has the ability and knowledge. So with his hands,
Obviously it will get twice the result with half the effort.
The reason why Li Hui was excited was because he saw various possibilities from Ge Yuan, not only things like gunpowder and water, but also many more possibilities. This will be very important for his own foothold and development in this era.
It is of extremely important significance. It is of great significance for giving full play to one's own advantages.
"If you add charcoal, you can give it a try. The old man turned around and gave it a try. The old man was a little curious. At such a young age, layman Li seemed to know many things that even the old man didn't know. Just when you made the caustic soda, the old man thought that you
Extraordinary. You are not an alchemist and you are so young, how do you know this? Have you ever studied under someone? Can you recommend me to someone who is a seasoned practitioner?" Ge Yuan became more interested in Li Hui and stared at him.
One Eye asked.
Li Hui smiled slightly, and he decided to take the bait of Ge Yuan. For a person like Ge Yuan, the bait was very simple, which was to tell him more secrets of material transformation. Tell him various possibilities of transforming new substances.
"Daozhang Ge, no one taught me. These are all what I have gained from my research. Just like Daozhang Ge, as long as you are interested, you will eventually discover something. I am not bragging, I know a lot of principles of transformation.
, I’m afraid Taoist Ge may not know some of them. If Taoist Ge is interested, I can tell you some.”
"Oh? Come and listen, layman," Ge Yuan said hurriedly.
Li Hui said with a smile: "Okay, I'll tell the Taoist Priest a little bit. The hot water in the Taoist Priest's arms can corrode gold and iron, eat away flesh and blood, and it looks terrible. But I can drink it without any harm. Taoist Priest believes it.
no?"
Ge Yuan laughed and said: "No need, I don't want to kill you."
Li Hui smiled, reached for a pottery bowl, poured a little water into it, and said to Ge Yuan: "Taoist Master, pour in some water, just a few drops."
Ge Yuan frowned and looked at Li Hui and said: "Li Shi, this is no joke. Even if you add water to dilute it, it will still kill you. Besides, you only have a small mouthful of water, so it is useless. Unless it is a tank of water."
Li Hui smiled and said: "It's okay, just pour in the hot water."
Ge Yuan hesitated in his heart, but felt that he would feel uncomfortable if he did not verify it. So he took out the pottery bottle and carefully pulled out the pottery stopper that tied the mouth of the bottle. As soon as the mouth of the bottle was opened, a puff of smoke rose up, and the smell was extremely pungent.
. Ge Yuan quickly poured a few drops into the pottery bowl. The water was golden in color. Even though a few drops were put into the bowl, the stimulating smell hit your nostrils.
Li Hui saw clearly and knew that the water must be acid, or perhaps a mixture of multiple acids. But as long as it was acid, there was no need to worry. He reached into his arms, took out a small amount of caustic soda that he had just prepared, and poured it with bamboo
He took a small amount of the chopsticks and put it into the hot water. Suddenly the solution in the pottery bowl boiled and steamed up. Fortunately, Li Hui asked everyone to sit farther away, otherwise the liquid that jumped out might hurt people.
After a while, everything calmed down, and there were a few water stains left in the pottery bowl. Li Hui picked up the bowl and said with a smile, "Taoist Ge, I'm going to drink this."
Ge Yuan had been paying attention to this process. Seeing that Li Huizhen was about to drink it, he hurriedly said: "Li Shi, don't take risks, as long as the old Taoist believes it."
Dachun and Dazhuang also said hurriedly: "Xiao Lang, you can't drink. What's the trouble? It's going to kill someone."
Li Hui put down the bowl and said with a smile: "You don't have to drink it. The flesh will fester if the water touches it. I don't actually need to drink it. Just touch it."
As he spoke, Li Hui reached out and touched the water stain on the bottom of the bowl. Ge Yuan exclaimed, and before he could stop him, Li Hui's fingers were already wet.
Ge Yuan hurriedly said: "Rinse it with water, quickly!"
Li Hui chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter. It's just water damage."
Li Hui twisted his fingers and even made a heart-warming gesture. There was nothing strange about his fingers, no damage at all. Ge Yuan was so shocked that he stretched out his fingers to touch the remaining water stains at the bottom of the pottery bowl.
, I didn’t feel anything at all. I finally went from surprise to joy.
"It's really okay. What's going on? How is this possible? My alkaline water is extremely corrosive and extremely violent. I also took a sip of the caustic soda just now. It's extremely hot and seems to be very violent. Both of them
Why is it as light as water even though it is mixed? Why is this?" Ge Yuan shouted.
Li Hui smiled and said: "It's not just plain water, you have a taste, it's salty."
Ge Yuan really stuck out his tongue and took a lick on his finger. It was indeed a bit salty and slightly irritating.
"Taoist Priest, I'm not bragging. You see, this is the principle of transformation that I know. As you said before, poisonous things can be turned into non-poisonous things, and strong things can also be turned into light and harmless things like water.
Objects. This is the principle of transformation. I know more than these, there are many more." Li Hui laughed.
Ge Yuan was convinced, sighed, and felt itchy at the same time. He wanted to know the truth behind this, and also wanted to know what other principles of transformation Li Hui knew. So he kept asking.
Li Hui knew that the fire was coming, Ge Yuan had already bit the hook, and it was time to catch him.
"Taoist Master Ge, I know too much. If I keep talking, I won't be able to finish it in a year. It is a fate to meet Taoist Master today. I also admire and respect Taoist Master very much. How about this, from now on I
Come visit the Taoist priest often. We have a long way to go. We will study and discuss these things slowly, and there is no rush at this moment. What do you think?"
Although Ge Yuan felt itchy, he also knew not to act too hastily. He could only say: "It seems that this is the only way. Hey, I have rarely met such a knowledgeable person in my life. I really wish I could keep talking with layman Li."
I have been obsessed with this all my life, but there is nothing I can do about it. I hope lay people don’t mind."
Li Hui said with a smile: "Of course I don't mind, you and I are of the same religion. Taoist Master has opened my eyes to me. Taoist Master Ge, I have a suggestion. Is it rude?"
