Chapter 59 Conjecture
He kept writing more than 120 words, and no longer asked Quanhao to ask the old man to write it. He just stroked his beard and shook his head, with a poor expression.
It took him a long time to realize that the old man knew so many words, and the goods in his stomach were empty. No wonder he looked embarrassed. Moreover, the old man was not very energetic and his eyes were half-closed. Perhaps writing so many words took too much energy. Quan Hao no longer disturbed him to rest, but even called the little girl over and asked her to take good care of the old man.
After communicating with the old man, Quan Hao's suspicion not only did not decrease, but became even bigger: In addition to Chinese characters, are there any characters in the world written in square characters? Or is this just a different world similar to ancient times?
When he walked away, the old man also opened his eyes. He looked at the not-very neat word "一" written by Quan Hao, and twisted his beard and thoughtfully.
Time passed day by day, and the health of the refugees was getting better. The food on the island was too rich, not only could they eat enough but also had good food. With nutritional foundation, their bodies gradually became stronger. Adults responded the fastest. Men struggled to carry a bucket of water from the beginning, but they could carry one in one hand in a few days and walked vigorously. Children returned to their lively nature and played and played on the beach from time to time. Only they could throw the crisis of dying so quickly. Relatively speaking, the elderly
The recovery speed is the slowest. He is the only remaining old man among the refugees and the only person who knows how to write. Quan Hao gave him enough respect and did not arrange for him to do things. Anyway, the strong labor available is enough. He can often be seen around the various groups, smiling all the time. Others, regardless of men and women, have a good impression of him and are willing to accept him. However, most of the time, he is still with the group of adult men. If Quan Hao is there, he will come and go around from time to time.
Quan Hao later communicated with him several times. The old man introduced himself to his name Xianlin. Of course, it was not these two words. Quan Hao still didn't recognize his name when he wrote it. He only knew that the two words were pronounced "Xian" and the other pronounced "Lin". According to the composition of ancient names, Xian should be his surname, Lin is his name. He is also the only one among the refugees with a serious name. Other men have a variety of surnames, and their names are one or two numbers. They are probably similar to Zhu Qiqi and Zhu Baba. Women are even more miserable, with only surnames, and some don't even have surnames.
According to Old Man Xianlin, they were all refugees who escaped from war. They walked to a place called "Gu" and were stopped by local officials. The leading county magistrate (Quan Hao guessed) was kind-hearted in front of him and said he wanted to take them in, but secretly gathered them, who had no relatives or friends in the name of working, and gave them porridge. They didn't think much about it, but they fell asleep after eating the porridge and floated on the sea when they woke up.
Quan Hao then understood why these people were unfamiliar with each other. It turned out that they were intentional arrangements. The county magistrate was a little clever, and he didn't want to take responsibility and didn't want to accept too many refugees, so he used a clever approach. The refugees would definitely not care where the people who had nothing to do with him were gone. He not only achieved the goal of slimming the refugee team, but also did not damage his reputation. Maybe he could be rewarded by his superiors for relocating refugees.
As expected, there is indeed a unified ruler on the mainland. Whether he should call him King or Emperor Quan Hao, it doesn't matter. As long as the power arrives, even if he calls himself the village chief, he will be the common ruler of the world. However, the dynasty is not called any name known to Quan Hao, but it is called "Lie". This name completely failed his desire to make strategies according to history books. According to certain categories, this world should belong to the category of superficial history.
However, there are too many places in this world that are similar to ancient China. From Xianlin's mouth, Quan Hao knew that this dynasty called Lie had an imperial examination system and used civil servants to govern the world. The people valued boys over girls, and society valued agriculture and suppressed commerce. In addition, the words they invented were square characters, each word was pronounced, and their clothes and hairstyles were exactly the same as those of ancient China.
Where does the superficial history originate so similar to real history?
Quan Hao has a guess. Time travel novels were popular when he was in college. Several people in the same dormitory had a debate on whether time travelers should change history. His view was that as long as time travelers exist, even if they deliberately did not affect the development of history, the world would become unrecognizable. For example, if he walked by the river and frightened a female fish, which in turn affected the arrangement of eggs in the fish's belly. Then when these eggs were excreted from the body and combined with sperm, several juvenile fish that should not appear. If these juvenile fish grow up, the food they have eaten in the place where they swim will change, downwards will affect the survival of tens of thousands of plankton, and upwards can change the recipes of at least several predators. When they grow into fish and then court, the same
The variables will increase in geometric proportions. Quantitative change causes qualitative change. There will always be one or two fish that are smart or stupid, which makes the hunter who catches them catch them catch them earlier or a few minutes later. This early and one night may affect the time when the hunter returns home to have sex with his wife, thus creating a completely different baby. The baby repeats what the juvenile fish does and then continues to pass on cause and effect. One day this transmission in the food chain will return to humans. Then there will be the hoof effect. A nail is broken, a hoof is dropped, a war horse is broken, a war horse is broken, a general is killed, a general is killed, a defeated battle, a defeated country is killed.
More extreme points, even if the time traveler only appears in a world out of thin air, then leaves, dies, disappears, or disappears. Then he may have stepped on an ant to death, even if there are no ants, bacteria are always everywhere. The causal effect will ferment on the micro level for a long time, but as long as enough time is left, one day it will affect the macroscopic.
It would be even more amazing if the time traveler was determined to integrate into the world. According to the principle of six degrees of separation, five intermediaries could know any stranger. He would spread the virus called "replacement" to the entire human race like a cell with a virus. Many years later, all the people in the world who should have appeared will be replaced.
Quan Hao thought of himself again. The refugees he saved here were also juvenile fish that should not have appeared. From then on, the island world would be mixed with the factors of him as a time traveler. So a long time ago, was there a time traveler who had come? If he had influenced the legendary Three Patriarchs of China, and even the mother of humans in Africa, Lucy, would the world become like this now?
If you think further, is the earth really a constant earth? What if there is a time traveler... uh, I can't think about it anymore, it's terrible.
