In the twinkling of an eye, it is the 60th year to come to this world


    Zhang Yuan sat in a comfortable seat and enjoyed the wonderful sunshine. Hundreds of old people in front were the captain, first mate, second mate and some sailors of the final voyage.


    Guests and friends were full, drinking and talking happily. It''s always fun to get together with old friends.


    On the wine table, people miss and recall the difficulties encountered in the final voyage. Many sailors have suffered from depression during such a long voyage; Others even want to seize control of the ship and go back halfway.


    But all these difficulties were defeated by the sunshine continent finally seen


    Now when I miss the past, Zhang Yuan can still recall the loud screams when he found the new world.


    Man is such a creature!


    "Why didn''t dolev come?" Zhang Yuan asked one of the old men.


    "That guy died in a woman''s belly because of his uncontrolled life! You''re not old enough to maintain it. "


    "What a pity..."


    "Where''s asov?"


    "I''m old. After all, I''m in my seventies."


    Zhang Yuan shook his head, didn''t care so much, raised his glass, "then, old guys, cheers!"


    "Cheers!"


    Hundreds of people loudly celebrated the final victory of the great voyage. Such a celebration ceremony will be held every five years. Of course, the banquet place is in the Duke''s house of Zhangyuan.


    Looking up at the sky, the distant sunrise hangs on the horizon and will never fall.


    Yes, in this land, there is a sunrise in the sky, not a sunset.


    The sunshine continent that countless people yearn for is here!


    ……


    This is Hoffman continent, a continent named after him!


    Since this legendary fleet brought the information of the new world back to the old road more than 30 years ago, a gold rush has emerged in this sunny land. Countless civilians, rich families and nobles came to this huge land to open up wasteland through most of the planet at great risk.


    Due to the imperfect system at the beginning, this area is completely chaotic, full of violence, blood and crime.


    The changes of the times are surging, and the process of history is advancing by leaps and bounds. Almost all Zhang Yuan''s efforts have been invested in this new continent.


    Thirty years have passed


    The gold rush continues. The crime rate in the largest city in Hoffmann mainland, "new kalenberg", has slowly decreased and become a very livable city.


    Most of the old crew members have been doing well over the years. After all, the new world is full of waste and many opportunities. Planting, aquaculture, steel, coal, chemical industry, electricity and newly discovered oil industries are absolutely not a problem as long as they do not seek degeneration.


    Zhang Yuan, the famous "Duke", will also take care of these old acquaintances to a certain extent.


    Of course, there are also some people who get a lot of wealth and honor at once, lose them and can''t control their desires.


    If virtue doesn''t deserve it, it will suffer. If such a person has more knowledge, Zhang Yuan won''t take care of too much.


    A group of people talk about the past while drinking. They always like to recall the past when they get old. Including so and so died in a woman''s belly, so and so''s son took drugs, gambled, lost all his family property, etc. so and so is already a successful big businessman.


    Time is in a hurry and life is changeable. Most of the old man has died. It''s really sad! A person''s destiny is doomed to a certain extent, but a large part is in his own hands. What can others do for a guy who can''t control his own destiny?


    After the banquet, a young deacon whispered in the rear: "Duke, the Queen''s fleet is about to arrive at the port."


    "Come on, let''s go!" Zhang Yuan said hello.


    A group of old people hurried into a car and drove on the wide road. When all the residents in the city saw this car of old people, they all looked in admiration and cheered loudly.


    Not far from the square, there is a square pointed tower building, "Dangdang" knocking. Because the sun in this area is always hanging in the sky, people''s concept of time is easy to be confused. This Big Ben is the standard time in the city, which regulates people''s work and rest time, and even the standard time of the whole continent.


    Workers'' work and students'' school are determined by the standard time of Big Ben.


    A huge ship of 10000 tons stopped at the port. After three months of sailing, the passengers on the ship were already impatient and even felt a little sick when they saw the sea.


    This is also the time required after the route has been greatly improved. At the beginning of the land reclamation era, there was no lighthouse on each island, nor did it thoroughly explore the water depth of the surrounding waters. It even took six or even seven months!


    Most of the people who landed were young people from the old road. A boat ticket may be their life savings, so they may not return to their hometown for decades.


    There are more opportunities to make a living here. When they saw the new world, they swept away their homesickness and couldn''t help cheering.


    "Finally, the new world, the new world!"


    Even the toddlers are cheering with the adults. Children come with their parents, and there is no so-called hometown emotion.


    The young queen standing in the front tried to step on the solid land and looked at the rising sun hanging in the sky. Suddenly, she had an unreal wonderful feeling.


    "... I don''t know what kind of surprise it was when you suddenly met this land in the vast sea!"


    "What a long journey."


    In Stonehenge, you will never see the sun; Here, new kalenburg is an eternal day, without gas lamps or any lighting facilities. Further away, there are green crops. There is enough light to support more people and livestock.


    Zhang Yuan bent down, stroked his chest with his right hand, saluted the young queen and kissed the Queen''s hand.


    Facing a living legend, the girl was a little uneasy.


    The queen is dead and someone can take over, but there will always be only one such legend in the world. After two failures and two bankruptcies, the man who stands up again and makes the third more difficult exploration is a real living legend.


    A thousand years later, no one will remember the Queen''s name, but someone will certainly remember the name of the legend.


    If he dies, the whole world will mourn for it.


    The young Queen walked around the new city, saw many new things, and soon fell in love with the so-called "new world".


    She recalled that in Boulder City, there were some old stubborn people who despised the "upstarts" in the new world and were unwilling to cross the sea or open up new territories.


    There are such stubborn people in every era. They are unwilling to change and don''t like new things. But every smart person knows that the real opportunity in the future is in this huge new continent.


    Looking at Zhang Yuan''s old face, the girl smiled and secretly asked, "Duke Hoffman, how do you want to discover this continent? Your three expeditions are not only the epic of the whole world, but also your personal epic. May I hear your story? "


    Zhang Yuan recalled the difficulties he had experienced in the past and said with a smile, "this is another very, very long story..."


    "A good ending will always make everyone like it, won''t it?"


    ……


    In the second reincarnation, Zhang Yuan not only discovered the new world, but also promoted the technological revolution.


    This new city is more orderly than the old one. At the beginning, the underground drainage system, including wider roads in the city and various livelihood projects, consumed a lot of funds, but in the next life, we obviously felt the convenience.


    Zhang Yuan also tried to promote the development of the social system. The new city levied higher taxes on capitalists, but most of the taxes were used for urban infrastructure construction. These infrastructure projects have fed a large number of civilians.


    In fact, for the people of this era, it''s good to have enough to eat, and other things won''t require too much.


    The first meaning of man is survival. Only by solving the problem of survival can we have time to consider other things, including education and entertainment.


    On the other hand, he also founded universities, middle schools and primary schools, trying to implement the five-year compulsory primary education system in the whole city. Only more high-quality workers can better promote the times.


    Human beings in this era always have certain limitations. They would rather let their children do child labor than waste their time going to school. However, human nature is always profit seeking. As long as they can see that children''s ability to make money is much more efficient than illiterate children only studying in school for five years, the compulsory education system can be carried out more and more smoothly.


    Through education and class change, this concept has gradually been printed into people''s hearts and become a universal value.


    When he died, almost the whole city lined up and went to see him off spontaneously.


    No one is immortal. It''s a long life to be able to survive here at the age of 70 or 80.


    ……


    In fact, the wish in Zhang Yuan''s heart has not been fully realized. The world is still a capitalist society with a huge gap between the rich and the poor and serious exploitation of the upper class and the lower class.


    Even he himself had to become a big capitalist for the three expeditions.


    Compared with a person''s short life, there is too little that can be changed.


    However, he himself is very satisfied with his results and thanks the world for its kindness to him and mankind.


    The total habitable area of this new continent is more than four times that of those small islands in the past! Moreover, there is sunshine here, which can grow plants and feed more people... Even oil has been found near a bay!


    In this way, the world has greater variables.


    Next, how will it evolve, whether there will be "Marx" in the new era to describe the essence of capital, whether there will be "Washington" to overthrow slavery, whether the contradiction between the new world and the old world will deepen, and whether war will break out, can only be solved by the local human beings themselves.


    He can''t manage so much.


    There will always be more thinkers and revolutionaries in the world to promote the development of the world


    However, no matter how many heroes appear, Zhang Yuan''s historical position in the world will not change.


    "Goodbye!"


    Second reincarnation, end.


    ……


    Zhang Yuan returned to that light blue space again.


    "It seems that you are very satisfied with this trip?"


    He saw the white view again, the "West Tower" of artificial intelligence.


    "Yes, I''m more satisfied than the last cherry world..." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.


    I don''t have much regret this time.


    "Human beings always like to be rewarded after giving. Even if it''s just a psychological return. If there is no return, the motivation to pay will undoubtedly weaken a lot. "


    "Why did you pay? Exploration in the ocean is very hard. You should know that you are not immortal. You will suffer from disease. Once you encounter a storm, you will also die. Even if you don''t really die, you will feel pain. "


    Zhang Yuan said, "I just like to see progress, not retreat... Standing still is also uncomfortable."


    In this space, all memories will become very clear.


    Zhang Yuan wrote a memoir about the world, what he saw and heard, analyzed the gains and losses, including whether he could do better on some details, and the possible future deduction in this world


    In the dark world, the old roads and the new world are too far away. From the inside, the new world is certainly no better than the old road, which also leads to the old aristocrats'' implicit contempt for the newly born aristocrats, just as the British despised the Americans at the beginning.


    Now we can cooperate because the cake has not been divided up and the new world still needs the financial support of the old road. But maybe in the future, no one likes to be exploited for a long time. The struggle around this new continent may last for a long time


    Zhang Yuan sighed. History is always winding, and it can''t be plain sailing.


    There were four views on history on earth: retrogression, progress, circulation and spiral rise.


    Some religions believe that history is backward. For example, human ancestors Adam and Eve were driven out of the paradise of Eden because they stole the fruit of wisdom. The children of Adam and Eve bear the original sin, are born to suffer, and continue to commit new crimes. Finally, God came to the world again to judge the sinners and so on.


    These religions believe that the primitive era with Saints is the best.


    Since Darwin published the origin of species and put forward the theory of evolution. British Spencer introduced the theory of evolution into the field of social history, put forward the "theory of social evolution", and believed that society is moving forward. After that, the theory of historical progress gradually became the mainstream.


    The third view is the cycle theory. History is a continuous cycle of opening and closing and an endless process. History goes up and down along the time axis, but it will not always progress better and better, nor will it always retreat worse and worse, but the good and bad will continue to cycle.


    There is also a fourth view that history is spiraling upward. From the local short-term point of view, it is good and bad, and even worse and worse, returning from the peaceful world to the troubled times; But from a historical perspective, it is getting better and better. The rise and fall of local periods are uncertain, and the decline in a certain stage does not affect the overall rise.


    Zhang Yuan sighed. There is no absoluteness. History is always complex. It is difficult to objectively summarize the simple rise or fall.


    Then he opened his third reincarnation.


    ……


    The third reincarnation reincarnated into a world with developed science and technology. Just like the earth civilization, mankind has occupied the whole solar system, but there is no motivation for external exploration and fell into class solidification.


    All reincarnation had a very good birth, and Zhang Yuan was born again in an upper class.


    In this reincarnation, he spent his whole life to build a spaceship and fly his body to a distant place where there can be no aliens.


    The fourth reincarnation, reincarnated to a world where the red regime collapsed, and human civilization lost its direction


    This time it was even more difficult. Zhang Yuan deeply felt the malice of Pangu''s artificial intelligence "West Tower"


    The fifth reincarnation, the deep-rooted dictatorship, ruled the whole world


    There is no light at all. It is easy to be locked up in concentration camps if you are careless


    After five reincarnations, Zhang Yuan was judged by "West Tower" to have passed the examination and kicked him out of the virtual world in advance.
