Chapter 27: If I Were to Cross Over into the Three Kingdoms

  This website is the Chinese Ancient Strategy Research Association founded by Li Zhe. For netizens who boast and brag all day, it's undoubtedly a joke among jokes, although in less than a month, it has gained some fame on the internet.

  Of course, this is inseparable from Li Zhe's behavior of throwing a lot of money into it.

  The current internet is an era where water armies reign supreme! Everywhere is filled with all sorts of rubbish and boring information. A website that doesn't have a long period of careful operation will find it very difficult to establish its own authority in a certain professional field and gain a large number of readers.

  This situation has given rise to the crazy profession of online hype and online promoters. Using a large amount of information bombing to quickly help people or websites become famous on the internet. Li Zhe's Chinese Ancient Strategy Research Association website, for example, threw out a lot of money, hiring a large number of people to promote themselves, and in a short period of time established the website's reputation and gained quite a good traffic.

  While Li Zhefa's post was continuously topped by the moderator, it sparked a lot of discussion among netizens, with the title "If I traveled through the Three Kingdoms, what would I bring with me?" In this post, Li Zhefa proposed a hypothetical scenario: if someone could be certain that they would travel to the Three Kingdoms and could bring a small amount of goods, then in order to maximize their benefits, what modern things would be best to bring to the Three Kingdoms?

  In a post below, he gave his own answer: disposable lighters that cost only a few cents!

  This thing can be carried in large quantities, but it will produce a scarce value at the Three Kingdoms, earning the first pot of gold for itself, and having a decisive help in opening up its future career in the Three Kingdoms. Of course, this is already an established fact for Li Zhe.

  And in some of the following interesting comments, there are also many interesting choices:

  Some think that carrying modern-made soft armor and handguns, first ensuring one's own vitality and combat effectiveness is more important than anything else, after all, the Three Kingdoms is an era where it's easy to lose one's life. Some even suggest bringing automatic rifles and enough ammunition, going back and killing in all directions, which is obviously a typical muscular way of thinking.

  Some people think that they should bring medicine, some modern medicines can be used as divine medicine after going back to ancient times, relying on these to save a few officials, nobles and aristocrats, pretending to be a divine doctor, can quickly establish good social relationships; even if not, bringing medicine, pretending to be a god, creating a sect or something, being the founder of a sect is also okay, didn't Zhang Jiao rise to fame like this? Okay! This is the "become a Buddha and create a sect" faction!

  Others who are more practical think that technical books should be carried along.

  For example, bringing an encyclopedia that records papermaking, printing, and textile technology to the Three Kingdoms to make a fortune. These technologies have already sprouted in the Three Kingdoms, and skilled craftsmen can fully implement them under guidance, generating long-term economic benefits. Furthermore, it can help establish a good relationship of interest between the protagonist and the cultural circle of the Three Kingdoms, laying the foundation for recruiting strategist-type talents. Based on the principle that knowledge is power, carrying practical books is the correct solution.

  This is the standard opening method of technical farming flow, the dominant idea is not to approve the rapid military expansion at the beginning, but to achieve small-scale technical expansion within one's own territory, cultivate technical workers and improve ideas, after improving the overall comprehensive strength in a small range, then use the large-scale established logistics power and military mobilization ability to push flat, which is very suitable for Li Zhe's appetite.

  This view is practical, but Li Zhe can't borrow it for the time being. Because modern people's books are unreadable to ancient people, and modern people's technical views are also difficult for ancient people to accept. When he has time in the future, Li Zhe plans to organize people to do reverse translation, turn modern knowledge books that are convenient for large-scale expansion under the technical conditions of the Three Kingdoms into a familiar style for the people of the Three Kingdoms, and bring them back to the Three Kingdoms for large-scale technological expansion.

  However, the scope of this technological expansion must be within one's own grasp. It is necessary to wait until a stable foundation has been established and ensure that one can obtain the largest share in the technological revolution before executing it. Just like the stirrup and horseshoe technology, which Li Zhe had already identified as a technical reserve, he would not easily bring it out.

  There is another post that makes some sense, which is to improve the transportation capacity of the Three Kingdoms period. Bring back solid rubber tires and axles, and directly transform the large carts of the Three Kingdoms period. After these two things are modified, the carrying capacity of those wooden wheel vehicles can be increased by several times, and their adaptability to road conditions and durability have also improved a lot.

  As soon as this post appeared, it was ridiculed by others in the post, thinking that carrying a small amount of rubber tires and axles would be useless. The thing is big and heavy, at most can only produce a dozen or so "divine cars", which has no direct use for the overall strength of one's own family. Moreover, neither of the three countries had banana trees nor advanced iron smelting technology, making it impossible to replicate the same product, completely lacking practical significance.

  These follow-up posts refuted the idea thoroughly, and soon the original poster disappeared. However, Li Zhe saw this and smiled.

  Haha! Just because others can't achieve it doesn't mean he can't achieve it either!

  He has a portable space, can shuttle back and forth continuously. If the rubber tire and axle are indeed such a big improvement for the chariots of the Three Kingdoms, it would be very useful for him!

  His current load capacity is only two hundred kilograms, still relatively tense. But what about in the future? This situation cannot last forever. Because his load capacity increases by a factor of one level up, which is a typical geometric growth. Once it's doubled, twice it's quadrupled, three times it's eight times... and so on, after reaching level ten, the load capacity of his personal space will reach more than five hundred times that of one hundred kilograms, which is a staggering scale of over fifty tons.

  By then, there was a lot of leeway in the choice of cargo. It was entirely possible to choose some strategically valuable items for smuggling.

  And these rubber tires and axles, the most modified parts for a large vehicle are only tens of kilograms. Modifying 1,000 large vehicles would occupy several tens of thousands of kilograms of carrying capacity, which is equivalent to just a few dozen tons. However, the strategic effect it brings is quite remarkable. Compared to the original transportation efficiency of the Three Kingdoms, it's as if all the heavy troops have turned into rapid reaction forces, what an exaggeration!

  He read through all the replies to this post with great relish, and Li Zhe carefully recorded every valuable idea so that he could use them for himself in the future. These were all flashes of inspiration. Maybe when he accumulated enough, he would be able to help himself greatly.

  These are just chatting and nonsense for netizens, but for Li Zhe, they are real wealth!

  The rest also have gold bars, instant noodles, smartphones and computers, walkie-talkies, sanitary napkins and so on, which can make him smile.
