C2311 Genius and Madman

"Dear Xiao …" This was a clear signal to Xiao Letian that he had passed.

"Dear Xiao, someone said that you are a genius even if you are half a step ahead of the era. If you are a step ahead of the era, then you are a madman!"

"What you said today is best not to tell anyone else, because it really surpasses this era by far. The vast majority of people will think that you're a madman!"

Xiao Letian raised his wine cup and clinked it with Gladstone's, "Of course, I am very clear of this principle. Sometimes crazy people and heaven's ability can communicate, and geniuses and ordinary people can also communicate, but lunatics and normal people can't communicate …"

He was laughing in his heart, cursing silently. Weren't you afraid that I would reveal too much and make the other races realize that the great change of this era is just right in front of their eyes?

If he wanted to maintain the position of England, he would have to use every means at his disposal to trample other races to death. If he was not of my race, then his heart must be of another race.

However, Xiao Letian really liked the comparison between a genius and a madman. In this era, Xiao Letian was truly a madman.

People can't go beyond an era too much, once you think what nobody can imagine, then you are crazy. Geniuses, on the other hand, were only half a step away from ordinary people. People would at least be able to imagine what they were thinking about.

This was also one of the important reasons why the whole of the elite in Britain blacked out. Why Xiao Letian was able to understand the crux of the Second Industrial Revolution? Why was he able to realize that the big tech explosion was coming?

Why are the top British elites unaware of this?

The crux of the matter was that humans had a common problem, which was their shortsightedness.

Don't talk to ordinary people about too much avant-garde technology, because they really will take you for a lunatic. Take a simple example, when the steam engine is invented, you tell them that the huge machine in the future can carry cars on the tracks, ordinary people will think that your idea is very bold and talented.

But if you tell them that this machine will be able to sail on the sea with a battleship, they'll probably call you a lunatic.

The hot air balloon has just been invented, and you told him that in the future the army would use this technology, and that humans would even add a power system to the hot air balloon, allowing it to escape from the shackles of the wind.

So you tell them that one day a hot air balloon will be equipped with a high-end hotel where people can drink and eat, dance and enjoy the view from the window, and use the hot air balloon as a means of transportation for humans.

If you dare to say that, the title of a lunatic will never escape you.

Big Bro hasn't even invented it yet, so don't talk to them about smartphones!

Jets are not available yet, so don't talk about space rocket technology!

Actually, this was where the dark world came from. In the era that Xiao Letian was in, the end of this nineteenth century, was not far away from where humans dreamed of technology.

Using Xiao Letian's words to describe it was short-sighted.

Originally, the steam technology and steel smelting technology had already reached the standard, but the various countries' navies were still unwilling to carry out large-scale reforms, and the new Steel battleship s still used the design method of the Sail battleship from before.

If the Zhiyuan Warship had not appeared, it would have been difficult to reach an agreement on the arrangement of the main cannons on the battleship. The Iron-armored Ship produced by the English and French still used many cannons on both sides of the ship, so the design method was still the same.

Can you talk to them about gas turbines and power systems at this time? Can you talk to them about more than 500 mm bulletproof steel plate and 300 mm caliber naval gun?

You dare to say they dare to take you for a lunatic!

Their vision had limited them to thinking. As a result, everyone was trying to cross the river by touching a rock. Everyone was trying to find their way carefully.

Only Xiao Letian, the transcender, knew the mystical technique of touching the surface of the water. He did not have to cross the river by touching the rocks, and every step he took was made with solid rocks.

This was surpassing the limit. If they were to overtake a car at a curve, they would not be able to trample on it so arrogantly. If they did, they might just end up like a ruined car!

But at the moment, Xiao Letian was also very happy. He was glad that this madman did not discuss such a serious problem with ordinary people, but with a genius like Gladstone.

As Gladstone's thought process had already surpassed this era by half a step, he was able to feel Xiao Letian's thought process that spanned one whole step. In other words, he could understand and understand what Xiao Letian was thinking.

Those eavesdrovers were the same, they were all characters at the top of the British Empire's pyramid. Their skill level was actually about the same as Gladstone's, and they could understand the future that Xiao Letian was describing.

If Xiao Letian were to stand in the House of Representatives at the moment, when he spoke these words to the members with uneven levels of skills, the only thing he would gain would probably be booing and wagering.

Prince Edward exhaled a long breath for Xiao Letian. He rubbed his swollen temples and said softly, "Alright, gentlemen. Everyone has the answer that they want, right? "Since the exam is over, let's leave through the back door …"

"Wait a moment …" At the critical moment, someone stopped everyone from entering. It was one of the patriarchs of the Tory Party, the current Foreign Secretary of the Empire, Countess Lalenden.

Lalenden was originally from the Tory Party. Although his identity was outside of the party's today, he still could not accept Tory Party's defeat emotionally. Therefore, even if the final loss was already decided, he still had to struggle on as if his life depended on it.

"Hehe …" I admit that I do not have the ability to refute Xiao Letian's reasoning, and I agree with everything he says … "

"But... But everyone, don't forget, no matter what, he is still Chinese. How could he have the kind intentions to advise my British Empire? "

"Don't forget, that Chinese courtesan fought with her life on the line to see Xiao Letian! He even took out his gun … Shouldn't that give us an explanation? "

Everyone could not stay calm anymore, and upon thinking about Fang Guan's crazy power, all of them started to doubt themselves again, "That's right! Fang Guan is the spy of the Chinese, everyone in Europe knows that, she is trying to see Xiao Letian with all her might, is he trying to stop this negotiation? "

"Could it be that the Chinese knew about the Berkeley's Restaurant's secret in advance?"

"Could it be that Xiao Letian already knows that we are eavesdropping right next to him?"

"If that's the case, we can't believe what he says!"

Bitter, bitter! Even Prince Edward started to cry for Xiao Letian, thinking to himself, your life is really not good, you just managed to pass the test, how did you end up with such a change?

Fang Guan, oh Fang Guan, you are also an intelligent woman, how can you do such a retarded thing?

"Alright, then let's wait a little longer. I believe that Gladstone will help us find the answer!"
