This gives me three guesses:
First, his blocking ability is limited. Otherwise, he can completely block any path that can improve productivity beyond your era. By then, I won’t be able to do anything new even if I come a hundred times.
Second, he can blockade anything at any time, anywhere, which is not a human capability. I've seen how humans block technology, and they use tactics like technology embargoes and economic blockades, but none of these tactics are 100% effective. But he directly modified the technology tree, just like you can light a piece of paper today, but it won't burn tomorrow.
Third, we will never be able to build a house with only two floors. Both technological and social development must proceed incrementally. But even after the gunpowder technology line was severed, the dynamite technology line still worked, albeit briefly. But it also illustrates that I picked an apple from a branch not connected to the apple tree.
These can explain the problem.
If you still don't understand, then I can say that you can't transfer an army from the easternmost part to the westernmost part of Liang Kingdom in an instant. You can't do it in reality, even if you are the emperor.
But if you're playing chess, you can do it, you can do it with your hands."
"Isn't that also impossible in chess? Each army can only move two squares at a time?"
Xia Junao is trying hard to understand.
"Then you can change the rules so that this army can move infinitely."
"So, back to the point, we are pawns?"
"No, I mean, the world in which the chess player exists might be real, but the pieces on the chessboard are virtual. What we're worried about now is that the other player has won all nine games, but if he wins the tenth game, he'll overturn the chessboard..."
"I think I understand what you mean."
Xia Junao's face looked very ugly.
"To put it bluntly, what you mean is that they have achieved something that no human being can do in this world. Either they are gods, or they are manipulating us, and they can manipulate our rules as they please..."
"That's right."
"And the only person in this world who isn't affected by this is you."
“That’s right.”
"So you're the one playing against them."
"That's right."
"And you lost nine games in a row, and now you want to start the tenth game?"
"Although it's still true, it's a bit hurtful to say it this way."
"Hahahahahaha, I didn't expect it would be so pleasant to chat with you."
"So what is the decision of the Daliang Empire?"
Xia Junao raised his teacup without hesitation and said:
"Integrating the resources of the entire continent, launching a war that will determine the fate of the entire world against an enemy we completely don't understand, and we can't even describe, and fighting for that last glimmer of hope after nine consecutive defeats, sounds incredibly exciting and thrilling. Therefore, my decision is this: I will lead the Daliang Empire to participate in this grand event. I hope Mr. Lin won't object."
Lin Hai nodded and raised his teacup. "Thank you for the support from the Daliang Empire and Your Majesty. Of course, it would be better if you didn't mention the nine consecutive losses."
“Hahahahahahaha.”
They both drank it in one gulp while laughing.
"Will you explain these things to the other monarchs later?"
"It still needs to be explained, but for now, only a few of us need to know. If others need to understand to that extent, we also need to discuss it."
"That's fine. I just heard about Mr. Lin's construction plan. Daliang fully supports it. After all, it will be built within Daliang."
"Right now, we're just doing the basic construction. I'll announce the full construction plan during the meeting. As you said, we've lost nine times in a row, so we must be fully prepared this time."
"I understand. I can order the collection of more supplies right now, and initially concentrate them in Beizhou City, which is the prefectural capital not far north of Liming City. It has convenient transportation and is more suitable as a base for the distribution of supplies."
"I haven't brought many people with me. Although Qinghe College is more efficient in cultivating talents, compared to Liang Country, Qinghe lacks some foundation. Therefore, we need more than just Liang Country's supplies."
"Beizhou Governor Jiang Asi and Tongpan Wu Moder are quite capable and worthy of important positions. I will issue an order to have them directly under your command."
"Regarding how to integrate our resources, I have a plan that will be useful during the meeting. However, your support in the early stages is also very important, allowing us to complete the construction of the basic project in a timely manner. I hope that Asmodeus in Beizhou can bring us surprises."
"Hahahahahahaha, I personally selected this person, please rest assured, Mr. Lin."
The carriage's walls, thick with shielding and imperial decorations, blocked out the emperors' hearty laughter. Although they could hear nothing, those outside the carriage remained confident in the meeting between the two emperors. That evening, Dong Mao, director of the Qinghe Archives, who accompanied the emperor, wrote the following account:
Although we have no idea what the two majesties discussed for an entire hour, and we find it a bit strange that two grown men would remain in a secret room for so long, we firmly believe that during our idle wait, something significant enough to impact the entire world has occurred...
