I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 570 [2 More] 570

In fact, if you want to completely dispel Liu Che's idea of ​​seeking immortality, the best way is to shatter all his hopes now.

It's just that Liu Tan hesitated for a moment and was a little bit reluctant. Anyway... the current society is like this, and the exploration of science cannot make people completely abandon the myth system.

What's more, even if the science of later generations is so advanced, it can't stop people from being superstitious.

Moreover, it is better for Liu Che to set his goal on the starry sky than on the sea - at least he can't go to the sky now.

If you want to go to heaven, you have to develop technology. As long as Liu Che is determined to develop technology, no matter what his purpose is, it will be good.

What's more, Liu Tan is right in saying that, the stars that can be seen by human eyes may be light-years away from the earth, maybe there are creatures living on them, and aliens may exist.

When Liu Che asked this question, he didn't expect to get any answer. Although Liu Tan was not sure, he also sent out some signals. He couldn't help being a little surprised: "What? Really?"

Liu Tan said: "I haven't seen it either, but it should be there, and it may be completely different from ours."

Liu Che became interested, and asked while looking at the stars: "Oh? Why is it different?"

Liu Tan immediately started talking nonsense: "Maybe there is a creature with a human head but no body and tentacles underneath, or it may have a human head and a human body, but the hands and feet are like mantis and sickles. It is also possible. It is completely different from humans, with a big head and a small body, eyes like copper bells, smooth skin, and blue or purple in color."

The nonsense that Liu talks about is what he read in science fiction magazines or science fiction books before. In fact, this also represents the imagination of human beings.

And human imagination has always been based on scientific progress. With the development of science, human brain supplements have also undergone various changes.

Liu Che was still looking at the stars seriously, but now he heard what Liu Tan said and couldn't help turning his head to look at him with some surprise, all over his face was: You still say you haven't seen it?

If you really haven't seen it, how can you know it so clearly?

Liu Tan blinked at Liu Che: "This is all guessed by Erchen. In fact, even what Erchen guessed can be found in various animals, so it may not be...cough cough, those The inhabitants of the stars are beyond my imagination."

His enumerations are actually related to the various totem changes of the flower planters in ancient times. For example, the change of the dragon, from the snake with four legs at the beginning, to the later image is a little more specific. Basically, people have seen many things that they have not seen before. The mysterious animals that have been used, and then decorate those things on the body of the dragon, and evolve into the final appearance little by little.

So no matter how much you let go of your imagination, you can still find the shadow in reality.

What Liu Tan said was true, but from Liu Che's point of view, he felt that he was making excuses.

He asked thoughtfully, "Could it be...is there no one?"

The things Liu Tan said are too strange. Could it be that the fairyland is made up of these strange things?If that's the case... what was his son... like before?

Liu Che ran through all the images that Liu Tan mentioned just now in his mind, thinking of the ones he could imagine, and throwing aside the ones he couldn't imagine, until finally he felt like none of them.

Because the things Liu Tan said all felt dangerous, whether it was the tentacles or the sharp sickle of the praying mantis, they all carried a certain degree of aggression.

And his son... is the most harmless kind among ordinary people, how is it like those things?

Liu Tan didn't know at all whether he was suspected by Liu Che to be another species, so he thought for a while and said, "There should be."

As long as there is a place with a living environment similar to that of the earth, it is not surprising that carbon-based humans appear.

As soon as Liu Che heard it, since there were, then his son should be that kind.

As for Liu Tan's uncertain tone, he just ignored it. After all, every time his son did something, he would leave a little room for it, and he would never boast.

Liu Che is already very familiar with his habit, and will automatically and spontaneously ignore those uncertain meanings.

Liu Che asked enthusiastically: "Then how can we get to those stars?"

Here comes, Liu Tan said calmly, "Going to the stars? This...seems a bit difficult."

Liu Che heard that it was a bit difficult, but if it was not very difficult, or completely impossible, it meant it was possible.

Think about it, going to the stars does sound more stylish than going to the sea to find immortals.

Liu Che gave up going to sea because he went so far and never saw the fairy world. Obviously, the fairy world doesn't exist.

Luzon Island was already very far away to Liu Che, so he really thought that when he arrived in Luzon Island, he had already reached the end of the world. He didn't even see the fairyland, either the fairyland had disappeared or it didn't exist.

Either way, Liu Che was very disappointed.

But now he thinks about it, since it is a fairy world, how could it be the same as the place where ordinary people are?If he became a fairy and had the ability to fly to the sky and escape from the earth, he would also want to live on the stars and overlook the human world, instead of choosing to live in the human world.

Liu Che suddenly ignited his longing for heaven.

However, going to the sky is more difficult than going to the sea.

There is still a boat to go to sea, even if the boat is not advanced enough, even if it is dangerous, it can still go to sea.

But God... Now the way for human beings to get closer to the sky is to build taller platforms, and the platforms are accumulated little by little with rammed earth, and the manpower and material resources consumed are absolutely unimaginable for future generations.

Liu Che said very proudly: "So what if it's a little difficult? Is there anything in the world that is not difficult?"

Liu Tan was caught off guard by his father's full stomach of chicken soup, so he had to smile wryly and said, "The difficulty lies in that...it can't be done in a short time because there are not enough people."

Liu Che was taken aback: "Not enough people? There are not enough big men?"

Liu Tan shook his head: "It's not for ordinary people, but for people who know how to go to heaven. Apart from the ability to fly to the sky and escape from the earth, ordinary people can only rely on other things to go to the sky. You can understand it as magic, but now This 'spell' must first be created."

Liu Che vaguely understood what he meant and asked, "Who do you want?"

Liu Tan said: "These people are already being cultivated. Father, do you still remember that I have vigorously developed Gewu in the academy in the northern border country? The so-called Gewu Zhizhi is to study this aspect, and now everything has just begun to enter. It’s on the right track, but there are too few people interested in this aspect, so we have to take our time.”

Liu Che was thoughtful: "Is Gewu actually a researcher of spells?"

Liu Tan almost choked on his own saliva, and said dumbfoundingly, "That's a metaphor."

However, Liu Che didn't care about these, he was deeply impressed by this.

He waved his hand directly: "How can you have enough people? I will find it for you!"

Liu Tan's expression changed in an instant: "Many... Thank you for your kindness, Father, I don't want to bother you anymore."

Liu Che looked sideways at him: "What are you worried about?"

Liu Tan had no choice but to say: "Gewu also pays attention to talent. If the talent is not good, even if you study hard, you will not achieve anything."

Of course, what Liu Tan is most worried about is that Liu Che stuffed him with a bunch of alchemists just because of the word "skill".

Even if black powder was first discovered by alchemists through alchemy, it doesn't mean that they are really good at it.

The most important thing is that those alchemists may not be reliable. Before Liu Tan hires someone, he must first distinguish whether he is a liar or not. Is he tired?

Liu Che raised his eyebrows, pondered for a while and said: "If you say that... why don't you wait for the next imperial examination and just choose some people."

Liu Tan: ...

Is this connected?

Since Liu Che mentioned the matter of the imperial examination last time, Liu Tan came up with some ideas, but he never cared about the rest, and he didn't even care who was in charge now.

The matter of selecting talents is really too sensitive, if you don’t touch it, you can’t touch it. Before, there was no way. Chang’an couldn’t just copy the routines of the northern border country, and the northern border country’s routine is not very mature, there are many things It's all expedient.

The restrictions of the northern border country are obvious, that is, there is not enough manpower, and the qualifications of the candidates who participate are not particularly good. Even now, the economy of most parts of the entire northern border country has improved a little bit, but reading and educating people is a long-term project. So far it hasn't been noticeable.

It is said that many people from other places went to the Northern Kingdom to participate in this year's imperial examination. Because the Northern Kingdom has no restrictions from the beginning to the end, most of the talents are not natives of the Northern Kingdom.

Liu Tan heard that there were a lot of troubles at that time. Of course, the local people in the northern border country were unwilling. Those scholars basically had no chance of being an official before the king of the northern border came. They couldn't compete with people from other parts of the country. Well, there are even more talented people gathered in Chang'an, and they used to add shame.

At most, he would be a small official in the local area. If he was lucky, he could be the right-hand man of the county magistrate.

But these are not comparable to the imperial examinations set up by the King of the Northern Territory. As long as he can pass the exam, he will definitely be an official in the future.

Even if you are not in the top three, you can directly enter the academy to study for free. Which scholar can refuse this?

In the end, candidates from other places came to compete with them for resources. How could they be willing?

Because of Liu Tan's absence, Huo Guang finally chose to keep those people for the sake of the court's prestige, and he clearly stipulated that people from non-northern countries were not allowed to take the imperial examination, and even if they did, they would not be admitted.

It's just that this time makes everyone a little bit unwilling. After all, after this time, there are still three years to wait. How many three years are there in life?

If it's really because of their own lack of strength, it's fine, but it's because others are taking advantage of the loopholes. How can these people be willing?

Of course, in Liu Tan's opinion, they are still not strong enough, otherwise why are they afraid that people from other places will compete for resources?

But considering the education situation in the northern border country, he had to admit that Huo Guang's regulations were issued in a timely manner.

Later, he specially wrote another hand letter, asking Huo Guang to add a temporary one, and strictly check the household registration, which can be regarded as calming the anger of the public - otherwise, Liu Tan is really worried that something will happen to those scholars, after all Scholars have been difficult to deal with since ancient times.

But he can do whatever he wants in the northern border country, and Chang'an... has too much influence.

Liu Che couldn't help itching when he saw Liu Tan pretending to be a quail. He stretched out his hand to pinch Liu Tan's face, and even squeezed harder than before.

Liu Tan immediately said, "Okay, okay, I'll come."

Liu Che let go and said, "Go and find Sang Hongyang later."

The corner of Liu Tan's mouth twitched, feeling that the last thing Sang Hongyang wanted to see was himself.
