Chapter 521 521 Papermaking Book (5)
While Xia Tian was heating the kang, she was imagining the wonderful life she would have after having paper.
The audience on the other side of the live screen were also immersed in the fantasy of using paper.
[You said paper is so thin and fragile, it must have been inconvenient for ancient people to use it, right?]
[I think so too. Besides, the production process is so complicated, it shouldn't be easy to get, right?]
[No wonder paper is now hanging in museums, it is the result of being eliminated by the times]
I sometimes wonder why we're so focused on reviving ancient Earth cultures, but these things are completely useless!
The comments on the live broadcast screen attracted Xia Tian's attention, and some of the opinions were indeed very controversial.
For example, papermaking is indeed a very advanced technology in the Beast World where she lives.
But if placed in the interstellar era thousands of years later, it is indeed an "antique" that has been eliminated.
In fact, even on Earth, people have widely used machines to make paper, and all kinds of paper can be produced.
No one makes paper using this traditional method anymore.
So, for the mysterious force behind this live broadcast, what is “his” purpose?
"Do you think that after thousands of years, will anyone still use this technology to make paper?" Xia Tian found it interesting and suddenly wanted to discuss it with Si Ye.
He is a native of this era and may have some unique insights.
When Si Ye heard this question, he paused and tilted his head in confusion, "Why do you ask?"
In his opinion, this technology is already very advanced. What will it become in a few thousand years?
"This is the most advanced thing I've ever seen." Si Ye didn't seem to take the question seriously. "I mean, I've never known these things before. Do you despise me?"
"Ah, that's not what I meant. I don't dislike you..." Xia Tian was a little embarrassed. "I was just thinking, if everyone masters this technology, and more advanced technologies are invented in the future, wouldn't it be stupid to look back on these?"
Si Ye shook his head, "No. Because by then we would have already been gone."
In other words, the question is meaningless.
Everyone has their own limitations in the era they live in, and it is impossible to transcend the limitations of the era in which they live.
"On the contrary, I think that in this place where there is nothing, you can also create these magical things... It's like magic." Si Ye's tone was sincere.
"I know you come from a different time and space, and perhaps the civilization of your era was very advanced. But you have to know that those civilizations weren't invented by the people of that era alone. Without the thousands of years of historical development that preceded them, they wouldn't have emerged out of thin air."
Xia Tian was slightly surprised, "You... really think so?"
She didn't expect that a Neolithic orc could have such profound thoughts.
"We have a famous saying here," Xia Tian said. "A very outstanding scholar once said that he was able to achieve such great achievements because he stood on the shoulders of giants. This saying is exactly what you just said."
Yes, modern people can achieve such achievements, who says that it is inseparable from the efforts of the ancients?
Sometimes, the wisdom of the ancients is even more amazing.
