I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

Back in the castle, Char leaned lazily on the quaint sofa that had a history of more than a hundred years, baking in the heat emanating from Calcifer.

Alicia took out the pocket watch that Tony gave her, pressed the button on it, and the other Alicia slowly disappeared from the place.

Not just another Alicia, but the rest of the Alicias in the library will be returned to their original timelines.

Since those who were summoned were Alicia from the past, Alicia who held the pocket watch during this time period would also have the same memories of everything they did.

So Alicia can use this method to speed up her learning time, but she has enough time herself and doesn't need these things.

"Go sit outside." Alicia said.

Xia Ya nodded, got up from the sofa, and came to the courtyard with Alicia.

The castle is now located in a gorge near the Meuse River east of West France.

There is a long and narrow river under the canyon, the Meuse River. The blue water sparkles in the sunlight, adding a layer of mystery. On both sides of the river, on the towering stone walls, various species grow. Rich vegetation.

The clear water flows next to the steep stone walls, the gentle sandy beaches and the deep green mountains and forests. All the beautiful scenery here reminds people of a fairyland. There are huge cliffs, gentle beaches, gurgling creeks, and rolling mountains. It is a good place to embrace nature.

It was evening at the moment, and when the sun was setting, the orange-red glow lit up half of the sky, reflecting on the clear lake water. It was a beautiful place with rugged waves.

To their right, they could also see the city's buildings.

Xia Ya leaned on the armchair and looked at the sunset quietly in the distance. Alicia also sat on a chair on one side. There was a complete set of tea sets and tea trays on the round coffee table in front of her - Alicia recently I really like tea art, so I collected a lot of tea sets and teapots.

Alicia picked up the kettle on one side, raised her hand slightly, and the kettle was automatically filled with a lot of clear spring water.

The kettle is also specially made and is a birthday gift from Xia Ya. Xia Ya will give her something every year on her birthday.

The bottom is connected to the Beichen Baotu Spring, which can flush water automatically. The tea produced in this spring is mellow and sweet. An emperor once named Baotu Spring "the best spring in the world".

As the spring water began to fill the kettle, the kettle began to heat itself, and some bubbles emerged from the bottom of the water.

Alicia closed the lid of the kettle, waited for it to boil, and then stared at the sunset quietly.

Although they watched it many times, Chara and Alicia would often watch the sunset together until the moon rose.

"That Tesla reminds me of Arthur," Alicia said, "They are the same kind of people."

Xia Ya's eyelids closed, "This world is bustling, either for fame or profit, but there is always a group of people who are not doing it for profit or fame, but for what they hold on to in their hearts. Even if there is purgatory ahead, they will still move forward. .”

"Do you think the appearance of that weapon is a good thing or a bad thing?" Alicia asked.

"Who can say clearly what will happen in the future?" Xia Ya said with a smile.

“Maybe it can really maintain peace, or maybe, this is the source of the destruction of mankind.

However, it is at least certain that the emergence of this weapon can indeed accelerate the end of this war, and may even reduce the possibility of the next war.

Just as Tesla said, the technological process of human civilization is not changed by personal thoughts.

Even if such weapons do not appear now, they will appear in the future.

As I said to Arthur before, if humans choose to develop civilization and go beyond natural selection, they will have to constantly fight against nature.

When resources cannot supply everyone, wars occur to reduce the population.

And if you want to get out of this cycle, you need to get out of this planet and explore the wider starry sky.

In the process of technological advancement, the emergence of more powerful weapons is inevitable.

Therefore, what really relies on is the thinking of human beings themselves. "

"Alicia." Xia turned her head and looked at Alicia, "Do you think humans are smarter today than humans 10,000 years ago?"

"It must be a current human being." Alicia said.

Xia Ya shook his head, "Don't underestimate the human beings at that time. From the perspective of primitive physiological structure, today's humans are actually not much smarter than the humans in the past.

As Tony said, building a tall building requires a foundation, and can you say that the people who built the foundation were stupid? "

Alicia shook her head.

"This is actually based on science." Xia Ya said, "According to some data, the human brain has not changed significantly in these ten thousand years. What they lacked from today's humans is only the knowledge and thousands of generations of human beings in the past ten thousand years. accumulation of knowledge.”

“The formation of human civilization was only over 5000 years ago during Einstein’s time, and it was even earlier than the Stone Age.

Among these more than 5000 years, more than 4700 years have been the era of handicraft industry.

During this period of time, human civilization has experienced the changes of various dynasties, but there has not been much change for thousands of years.

Until the arrival of the scientific and technological era, the pace of human beings accelerated, and half a century of development surpassed thousands of years of human development.

It even laid the foundation for development for thousands of years to come.

Maybe you can't notice it when you are in the midst of human history, but look back outside of human history.

This period can be called a miracle.

But why is this happening?

Apparently, in the past five thousand years, human hardware has not changed much?

Why has it been a handicraft industry for most of the past 4,700 years? "

Alicia fell into thought.

"I actually have a better answer." Xia Ya said.

He pondered for a moment and continued, "The reason why people have not entered the industrial age in these 4,700 years is because they are developing a more important thing - how to use technology.

They are thinking about the philosophy between people, thinking about

How to make human civilization survive for a longer time.

Confucian "benevolence", Taoist "the best is like water", as well as Aristotle and Socrates of ancient Greece, etc., are all practitioners of human thought. "

Char looked at Alicia.

"Tell me, what would it be like if this world-destroying weapon were mastered by humans in the Stone Age?"

Alicia fell into deep thought. After a moment, she said, "Human beings at that time did not understand what the future was. They only wanted to live in the present, and of course they had no regard for the use of these weapons."

Xia Ya nodded, "Or, if it's closer, let humans use it two thousand years ago."

After a pause, Xia Ya whispered softly, "Have you heard of Bai Qi?"

Alicia nodded.

"He has gone through more than 70 major and minor battles in his life without losing a single battle. He is called the God of War. In the martial arts temples of famous generals in the past, Bai Qi is always regarded as the top one.

However, behind his title of "God of War" are countless corpses. Bai Qi is also known as the "human killer" because he killed too many people.

During the entire Warring States period, a total of two million people died in the war, and Bai Qi occupied one-half. In other words, Bai Qi killed as many as one million people.

Among them, some were killed on the battlefield, some were innocent people who were implicated, and some were brutally killed after surrendering. There were 400,000 people in the Changping Battle alone.

If this kind of weapon appeared in that era when human life was at stake, and there was such a fast and convenient weapon, I think he would not mind using it. "

"But this era is different. The number of human beings is larger, they have the ability to communicate remotely, and there are more moral people than in the past.

People will think about the future, and the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind is gradually emerging. "

“In the future, the weapons at the disposal of human civilization will become more and more powerful.

Weapons that can destroy a country, a world, or even a planet may appear.

But the progress of technology cannot be stopped and cannot be stopped.

To survive among these powerful weapons, all humans can rely on is their own thoughts.

It is the wisdom and ideological leaps that our ancestors and future forerunners have brought to human civilization.

I have always believed that it is necessary to advance simultaneously in technology and thought. This is why, even though Tony has such advanced technology, I have never asked him to publish it to benefit mankind.

Whether the weapon is powerful or not is not the key. The real key lies in the human beings who control it."
