In a blink of an eye, it’s already the 60th year of coming to this World...

Zhang Yuan sits in a comfortable seat and enjoys Wonderful sunshine. The hundreds of old people in front were the captain, first mate, second mate, and some sailors of the last voyage.

The guests and friends are full of seats, and they have a good time talking together. The time with old friends is always happy.

People at the wine table, remembering the difficulties encountered in the final voyage, many sailors suffered depression during such a long voyage; some even wanted to seize control of the ship, Go back halfway.

But these difficulties were all defeated by the sunlight continent that I finally saw...

Now that I miss the time, Zhang Yuan can still remember the time when he discovered a new continent. High-pitched screams.

Human is such a creature!

"Why didn't Dolev come?" Zhang Yuan asked one of the old man.

"That guy, because of his intemperance in life, died on a woman's belly! Being so old is not enough to maintain."

"It's a pity..."

"Where's Asof?"

"I'm old, after all, I'm over 70 years old."

Zhang Yuan shook the head, he didn't care so much. Lifted the glass, "Then Old Partners, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Hundreds of people celebrated the final victory of the great voyage loudly. This kind of celebration is held every five years. The place of the banquet, as it should be by rights, is in the Ducal Mansion of Zhang Yuan.

Looking up to the sky, the morning sun in the distance hangs on the horizon and will never fall.

Yes, in this land, the morning sun hangs in the sky, not the setting sun.

The sunshine continent that countless people yearn for is here!

……

Here is Hoffman continent, a continent named after him!

Since more than thirty years ago, this legendary-level fleet brought the information of the new continent back to the old road, a gold rush has emerged in this sunny land. Countless ordinary people, wealthy aristocrats took huge risks, crossed half of the planet, and came to this huge land to open up wasteland.

Due to the imperfect system of at first, this area is completely chaotic, full of violence, blood and crime.

The changes of the times are turbulent, and the course of history is suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds. Almost all of Zhang Yuan's efforts are devoted to this new continent.

Thirty years have passed...

The gold rush is still continuing, and the crime rate in the largest city in the Hoffman continent, "New Kalundborg", has slowly decreased Afterwards, it became a very livable city.

Most of the old crew members have been doing pretty well these years. After all, the new continent is thriving, with many opportunities, including planting, breeding, steel, coal, chemical, electrical, and new discoveries. As long as China’s oil industry does not degenerate on its own, survival is definitely not a problem.

And Zhang Yuan, the famous "duke," will also give some degree of care to these old acquaintances.

Of course, there are also some people who have gained a lot of wealth and honor at once, lost in it, and cannot control their desires.

If virtue is not coordinated, you will suffer from it. Such a person has more knowledge, and Zhang Yuan will not take care of too much.

A group of people are drinking and chatting about the past. When they are older, they always like to remember the past. Including XX dying on a woman's belly, XX's son taking drugs, gambling, losing all his family property, etc. XX is already a successful businessman.

Time flies fast, life is impermanent, and most of the Old Partner at the time has passed away, which is really embarrassing! To a certain extent, a person's fate is destined by heaven, but a large part of it is in his own hands. Even a guy who can't control his own destiny, what can others do?

After the banquet, a young deacon whispered from behind: "My lord, the queen's fleet is about to reach the port."

"Let’s go, let’s go!" Zhang Yuan greeted.

A group of elderly people hurriedly boarded a car and drove on the wide road. When all the residents in the city saw the old man in this car, they all cast admiring eyes and cheered loudly.

In the square not far away, there is an obelisk-style building, "dang dang dang" beating. Because the sun in this area always hangs in the sky, people's concept of time is easy to be confused. This Big Ben is the standard time in the city, which stipulates people's work and rest time, and even the standard time of the entire continent. .

Workers go to work and students go to school are determined by the standard time of Big Ben.

A huge ship with a scale of 10,000 tons, stopped at the port. After three months of voyage, the passengers on the ship were already impatient and even felt a little sick when they saw the sea.

This is the time required after the route has been greatly improved. In the era of at first land reclamation, there were no lighthouses on each small island, and the water depth of the surrounding Sea Territory was not thoroughly explored. It even took six or even seven months!

Overwhelming majority are youngsters who come ashore from the old road. A ferry ticket may be their life savings, so they may not return to their hometowns for several decades.

There are more opportunities to earn a living here. When they saw the new continent, they swept away their old homesickness and couldn't help cheering.

"Finally here, new continent, new continent!"

Even the child who is learning to speak is cheering with the adults. The children all came with their parents, and there is no so-called homeland emotion.

The young queen standing in the forefront tried to step on the solid ground under her feet, and then looked at the morning sun hanging on the horizon, and suddenly gave birth to a sense of unreal wonder.

"...My Excellency, what kind of surprise it was when you suddenly encountered this land in the vast ocean!"

"It's really a long journey. "

In Boulder City, the sun will never be seen; here, New Kalundberg is eternal daytime, without gas lamps or any lighting facilities. Farther away, there are green crops, where there is plenty of sunlight and can afford to raise more people and livestock.

Zhang Yuan bent over, right hand stroked his chest, gave a salute to the young queen, and kissed the queen's hand.

Faced with a living Legendary character, the girl was a little nervous.

The queen is dead, someone can take over, but such a Legendary, there will always be only one in the world. After two failures and two bankruptcies, he stood up again and went to explore more difficultly for the third time, the truly alive Legendary.

One thousand years, ten thousand years later, no one will remember the queen's name, but someone will certainly remember the name of this legendary character.

If he dies, the whole world will mourn for him.

The young queen wandered around in this new city, saw many novel things, and soon fell in love with this so-called "new continent."

She recalled that in Boulder City, there were still some old stubborn ones who despised the "upstarts" on the new continent, and were unwilling to cross the oceans and open up new territories.

In every era, there are such stubborn people who are unwilling to change and dislike new things. But every smart person knows that the real opportunity in the future lies in this huge new continent.

Looking at Zhang Yuan’s old face, the girl smiled and asked in private: "Duke Hoffman, how did you want to discover this continent? Your three expeditions have not only It’s only the epic of the entire world, but also your personal epic. Can I listen to your story?"

Recalling the difficulties experienced in the past, Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "This is another story. , A very, very long story..."

"A good ending will be liked by everyone, right?"

……

In the second reincarnation, Zhang Yuan not only discovered a new continent, but also promoted the technological revolution.

Compared with the past, this new city looks more orderly. At first's underground drainage system, including wider roads in the city, and various livelihood projects, consumes a lot of money, but in the following life, everyone clearly feels the convenience of it.

Zhang Yuan is also trying to promote the development of the social system. This new city levies higher taxes on capitalists, but most of the taxes are used for urban infrastructure construction. These infrastructure projects have fed a large number of civilians.

Actually, for the people of this era, it is good to be able to eat, and other things do not require too much.

The first priority of human beings is survival. Only by solving the problem of survival can we have the time to consider other things, including education and entertainment.

On the other hand, he also founded universities, middle schools and elementary schools, trying to implement the city's five-year compulsory elementary education system. Only with more high-quality workers can we better advance the times.

Humans in this era always have certain limitations. They would rather let their children do child labor than let them waste time in school. But human nature is always profit-seeking. As long as they can see that young children have only studied in school for five years and their ability to make money is far more efficient than illiterate, then the compulsory education system can be implemented more and more smoothly. Go down.

And through education, the implementation of class changes, this concept has gradually been printed in people's hearts and has become a universal value.

When he passed away, almost everyone in the city lined up to see off spontaneously.

I am immortal without who, and being able to live here seventy-eighty years old is considered a longevity.

……

In fact, Zhang Yuan’s wish has not been fully realized. This World is still a capitalist society where the gap between the rich and the poor is huge, and the upper class exploits the lower class severely. .

Even he himself must become a big capitalist for the three expeditions.

Compared with a short lifetime, there is too little that can be changed.

But he himself is still very satisfied with the results he made, and thank this World for his kindness to himself and humanity.

This new continent has a total living area that is more than 4 times that of the previous small islands combined! And there is sunshine here, and plants can be planted, and more people can be fed... even near a certain bay, oil was discovered!

In this way, the world has more variables.

Next, how will it evolve, whether there will be a new era of "Marx" to describe the essence of capital, whether there will be "Washington" to overthrow the slave system, between the new continent and the old continent Whether the conflict will deepen, whether there will be a war, can only be resolved by the native humans themselves.

He can't control so much.

On the world, more thinkers and revolutionaries will always be born to promote the development of this World...

However, no matter how many heroes appear, Zhang Yuan’s historical status in this World , Will not change in any way.

"Goodbye!"

The second reincarnation, it's over.

……

Zhang Yuan once again returned to the pale blue space.

"It seems that you are very satisfied with this trip?"

He saw the white point of view again, the artificial intelligence "Sita".

"Yes, it should be more satisfying than the last cherry blossom world..." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

There is not much regret at this time.

"Humans always like to be rewarded after giving. Even if it is only a psychological reward. If there is no reward, the motivation for giving will undoubtedly weaken a lot."

"You Why did you pay? Expedition in the ocean is very hard. You must know that you are not an Immortal Body. You will suffer from disease. Once you encounter a storm, you will die. Even if you don’t really die, you will feel It’s painful."

Zhang Yuan said: "I just like to see progress, but don’t like to see regression...Stay in place is also uncomfortable."

In the space, all memories will become very clear.

Zhang Yuan wrote a memoir about this World, what he saw and heard, and analyzed the gains and losses in it, including whether he could do better in some details, and in In this World, possible future deductions...

In the non-light world, the distance between the old road and the new continent is too far. From the perspective of the foundation, the new continent is definitely no better than the old road, which also caused the old aristocracy to faintly despise the newly born aristocracy, just as the British despised the Americans.

We can still cooperate now because the cake has not been divided up, and the new continent still needs financial support from the old road. But maybe in the future, no one likes to be exploited for a long time. The struggle around this new continent may last for a long time...

Zhang Yuan sighed, history is always winding. The twists and turns, impossible smooth sailing.

About history, there used to be four views on Earth: the theory of regression, the theory of progress, the theory of circulation, and the theory of spiral ascent.

Some religions believe that history is backwards. For example, the first human ancestors Adam and Eve were driven out of the heavenly Garden of Eden because they ate the fruit of wisdom. The descendants of Adam and Eve bore their original sins, were born to suffer, and continue to commit new crimes. Finally, God once again descended into the world to judge sinners and so on.

These religions believe that the age with Saint’s primordial is the best.

Since Darwin published "The Origin of Species", he proposed the theory of evolution. British Spencer introduced the theory of evolution into the field of social history and put forward the "Social Evolution Theory", which believed that society is constantly advancing. After that, the theory of historical progress gradually became the mainstream.

The third point of view is the theory of cycles. History is a continuous cycle of division, division, recombination, and never-ending process. History rises and falls along the time axis, but it will not keep improving and getting better and better, nor will it keep getting worse and worse, but the good and the bad.

There is also a fourth point of view. History is spiraling upward. From a local short-term point of view, the times are good and sometimes bad, and even worse and worse, from the retreat to the turbulent times; but from the perspective of the big history, it is getting better and better. The ups and downs in a certain period of time are uncertain, and the decline in a certain stage does not stop, and it does not affect its overall rise.

Zhang Yuan sighed. Nothing is absolute. History is always complicated. A simple rise or fall is difficult to summarize objectively.

After that, he opened his third reincarnation.

……

In the third reincarnation, I was reborn in a technologically advanced world. Just like the previous Earth civilization, mankind has occupied the entire solar system, but never explored outside. The motivation of the people fell into the solidification of the class.

All reincarnations have a very good birth. Zhang Yuan was once again born in an upper class.

In this time of reincarnation, he spent his entire life to build a spaceship, flying his body to a distant place, impossible to exist in the distance of any alien.

In the fourth reincarnation, I was reborn in a world where the red regime collapsed. Human civilization has lost its direction...

This time is even more difficult, Zhang Yuan deeply feels When it comes to the maliciousness of Pangu Brain’s artificial intelligence "Sita"...

The fifth reincarnation, the deep-rooted dictatorship ruled the entire world...

There is no rays of light at all, A little carelessness makes it easy to be locked into a concentration camp...

After five reincarnations, Zhang Yuan was judged by "Sita" to pass the examination and kicked him out of the virtual world in advance.
