Scene 101 behind the times
"I'm interested in making money!" Drake said loudly.
In this era when marine monsters were still drawn on the navigation map, whether it was near-sea or long-sea navigation, it was very dangerous.
Anyone who relies on going out to sea to earn gold coins by hanging his head on his belt.
So what if Carlton is very powerful in the dye industry? Captain Drake looked at Carlton's back at the door, and was even outlining his rusty chains, like Shen Hai.
"Okay, I wish us a happy cooperation." Doug reached out to try to high-five Captain Drake, but was hugged by Drake.
"I hope you don't regret it! Doug Clayden!" Carlton said viciously.
Although Doug was a little breathless by Drake's arm, he tried hard to open his mouth and replied, "Please inform your nephew not to regret it!"
Even if you do business, you have to make more friends.
However, if you have different interests, how can you become friends?
Doug chose to fight against each other. He didn't mind someone making money with him, but he was worried whether the dominance was in his own hands.
"Nathan, give me a gift from Lord Carlton." Doug said, breaking away from Drake's hug.
After the angry Carlton walked away, Drake calmed down his expression and said in a very serious tone and expression, "Did you really find the color in the dark coal tar?"
"certainly."
"Are you a magician?"
"Of course... not."
"Then are you an alchemist?"
“Not it.”
"Then how did you turn coal tar into dye?"
"This is the power of science." Doug replied that Captain Drake, who lives in an era of rapid development of science, does not have a scientific mind.
In fact, no matter in any era, there are many people like Captain Drake who cannot keep up with the development of the times.
Even if students with a complete education do not conduct in-depth study and research in the corresponding fields, their cognition is no different from outstanding figures hundreds of years ago.
It can also be said that people like Captain Drake who are behind the times are normal people.
If we compare the known knowledge of human beings to a circle, as more and more known knowledge increases, almost no one's knowledge and only depth can cover the entire circle.
Because human energy is limited, because humans will die.
Have the ability to poke the circle outside and turn more unknowns into known people. The knowledge structure is not like a circle, but an awl, an awl that pierces in a specified direction.
Most of the unknown breakthroughs are only known, and will not have any impact on human society in a short period of time, or even in the long run.
Therefore, only a very small number of lucky people who are both excellent and lucky can push the overall human society forward a lot.
Whether it is the launch of the steam engine revolution, the reform of capitalist society, or the transportation revolution.
In short, although this world belongs to all humans, the only thing that can dance on this stage is that some people pay attention to is a small number of people.
However, the development of history is definitely not elitism.
There will be no only emperors, generals and ministers.
Although most humans are only equivalent to a trivial background.
However, outstanding people were born among these people.
"Science?" Drake scratched his head.
In fact, he doesn't believe in science very much.
Because living at sea seems to rely more on luck.
To make this guy who has the bow of every ship carved with the goddess of luck of the sea, believe in science, it is as ridiculous as letting a hamster give up winter food storage and cure hamster disease.
Drake looked at Doug's expression again, and he said, "Whether it is science or alchemy, it can make me money!"
