Modern machinery and equipment are constantly running, and even if they encounter hard-to-gnaw bones, they will be penetrated by the magical dragon blast of the Dragon Talisman. Modern industrial technology and ancient mysterious magic merge with each other, and the originally long excavation work can be shortened in a short time. It was initially completed in just three days, which I have to say is a miracle.
According to the practice since ancient times, the construction of the tombs of monarchs in the past dynasties began from the moment they ascended the throne, and continued until the death of the monarch. The tomb of the Dragon Emperor can be regarded as one of the best among the tombs of Chinese emperors in the past dynasties. Even though The mausoleum built with such a nationwide effort has also been rediscovered today, two thousand years later.
Just imagine, if it was two thousand years ago, it would have been impossible to organize so many people to dig without modern industrial equipment and explosives (Dragon Talisman). The Dragon Emperor's tomb should have been able to The only way to be safe and sound is to dig down bit by bit with shovels. If too many people are called in, it will attract the attention of the authorities. Therefore, if it is a small-scale operation, it will not be possible to dig out the Dragon Emperor until it takes more than ten or twenty years. The grave was dug out.
It’s just that the ancients who built the tomb at that time could not have imagined the power of modern technology. In the original work, how did Hafzi and his team rely on modern machinery and the help of a large number of Egyptian laborers to excavate Ham, which had sunk deep into the ground after self-destruction? Nata, now he has used the same method to excavate the Dragon Emperor's tomb.
The numb-looking Chinese people help William and the foreigners dig out their national treasures. Jackie Chan has mixed emotions. On the one hand, he is happy for the success of this operation, but on the other hand, he feels heartbroken for the numbness of his compatriots in this era.
"We will give you your wages." Hafz and his team of men in red said, taking out a big bag with money in it and giving it to the Chinese participating in the project one by one.
"Thank you, Mr. Foreigner."
"Thank you, Mr. Foreigner."
Flattery sounds echoed in the crowd. Mr. Hafz, the director of the British Museum, looked relaxed and natural. As an imperialist, he did not feel there was anything wrong with his actions. These were all part of their organization's plan to conquer the world.
"Having not experienced the baptism of the Anti-Japanese War, this nation has no hope and will not be reborn like a phoenix. Jackie Chan, don't mind it too much." Dad saw the discomfort in Jackie Chan's heart and said with relief.
This kind of insensitive look makes people feel really uncomfortable.
The Dragon Emperor was an emperor who received mixed reviews in textbooks. He was not only the first emperor to unify China, and he was also the person who created the Chinese monarchy for two thousand years.
Mr. Lu Xun once commented that China has only two eras, the era of being a slave but not being able to do so, and the era of being a slave for the time being.
In a country after great unification, the monarch and the people are in opposition to each other. All the behavior of the monarch is instinctive to maintain his rule. Whether it is building the Great Wall or burning books and humiliating Confucian scholars, they are all part of maintaining his rule.
Whether it is the Qin Dynasty, which used Legalist ideas such as "Book of Shang Jun" and "Han Feizi" to govern the country, or the past dynasties that governed the country based on Confucianism, they were all the same thing. The vitality of the people has always been regarded as a scourge by the Central Plains dynasties. The past dynasties All will use the most meticulous, perfect and solid autocratic rule to rule the people.
If we want to maintain the traditional Confucian moral values and social ethics, we must keep the social environment there forever and never change. Otherwise, changes in the social environment will inevitably lead to changes in people's thoughts and morals.
The Qin Dynasty was the origin of autocracy, and the Qing Dynasty was the pinnacle of autocracy.
The emperor himself can be a good person or a wise king, but the autocratic nature of the emperor himself has already determined that the emperor is destined to be a monomaniac and a thief.
"Do you want to resurrect the Dragon Emperor?" A young man in military uniform walked up to William with soldiers. At this time, his face looked a little immature, and his official rank was not high. Compared with the great warlord in the third part, At this time, he was still just a small leader.
The plot of "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" is already after the end of World War II. China became one of the five permanent members of the United Nations. Because of the aging of Britain and France, China's voice has been enhanced, so much so that the British decided to transfer Shangri-La to The Eye was returned to the Chinese authorities to improve relations between them, but the country is still divided.
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't." William asked rhetorically.
"My country and my nation have been bullied by foreigners. China has been a big country since the Dragon Emperor ruled the world. A big country has the dignity of a big country, and it must also have the status that a big country deserves. I do not allow foreigners in our land. Show off your power, especially when you dig the tomb of the Dragon Emperor, who is the symbol of our country."
The young officer said with indignation, but his eyes looked at the Eye of Shangri-La in William's hand.
"So what?" William said, "Do you think the Dragon Emperor's resurrection can solve the problem? The current competition between countries and the gap in national power is the gap between technology and civilization. The competition is also between people and people, systems and systems. Competition among people. China is indeed a big country with many brilliance, but this was only in the feudal era. Now in modern society, the huge energy accumulated since the Industrial Revolution has completely changed the world. The navigation industry has exploded and the world has become smaller. , the earth becomes a village. In addition to the wealth of agriculture, the wealth created by industry is like spring water gushing out from dormant underground. This is a power that far exceeds agricultural civilization. This material power can make the small country of Britain become World Overlord."
"The development of industry and improvements in agriculture, such as chemical fertilizers, have allowed European countries to get rid of their dependence on the weather. The people have become rich, have a spirit of freedom, and have a spirit of innovation. Therefore, they want to seek more wealth. Faced with social injustice, they will also Put forward your own opinions and guide social changes. If China wants to rejuvenate and be glorious, it must rely on the people, care about the people, and believe in the power of the people, because the competition among countries in the world is ultimately a competition between the people and talents of all countries. .”
"What do you mean?" the officer asked with some confusion.
"Are you stupid? What age is it? You don't engage in capitalism, let alone communism. You don't emancipate the people, emancipate their minds, and use the power of the people to transform the world. You actually want to restore feudalism. Do you think you can do that? If Emperor Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty is replaced by the Dragon Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, will the country become stronger? At best, everyone in the country will become the slaves of the Dragon Emperor."
William threw "Das Kapital" in the face of the young officer and spat in his face, "Damn it, no wonder he became a villain and failed. With his IQ, if he wants to save his country, there has never been a savior. , you don’t rely on gods and emperors, you actually rely on yourself. If you want to save your country, join the Red Army.”
The young officer picked up the book that fell on the ground, bowed to William in a daze and left. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a bag of packages thrown into his hand. The young officer opened it and saw that it was heavy gold.
"As my sponsor, I believe you will make this country reborn from the ashes." William said with a chuckle. The young officer waved to William to express his gratitude, then mounted his horse and left.
Shouldn't I have created a founding marshal or general? William thought mockingly to himself. At the same time, he also felt that the young officer might not be able to dodge the last bullet and live to the end.
Destiny is so wonderful.
