[k] @Goredolf Qin Shi Huang is from the B.C. era.[sr]How could he possibly still be alive in 2020? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 17] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Well, normally you'd be right. But are you forgetting the tsar we just recently fought who had been living for around five hundred years? [k] [charaFace C 12] @Da Vinci So is it REALLY such a stretch that a Chinese emperor might have managed to survive over two thousand years? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Holmes The Qin empire had a legal system, standardized units of measurement, paper money... It was very much ahead of its time in many ways. [k] @Holmes China would go on to see the rise[sr]and fall of many other dynasties... [k] @Holmes ...but when it comes to making progress as a civilization, such instability is...unhelpful. [k] [charaFace B 6] @Holmes If Qin had remained as the sole power in China, no doubt it would have reached a point where it would easily swallow up neighboring countries... [k] @Holmes ...which could, in turn, have sped up humanity's overall progress considerably. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Yup. I could easily see that happening if someone like Qin Shi Huang had been able to keep on ruling. [k] [charaFace C 12] @Da Vinci In fact, he actually spent a lot of his later years searching for a way to achieve immortality. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Qin collapsed due to political instability[sr]after Qin Shi Huang's death...right? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Holmes In which case, if Qin Shi Huang somehow succeeded at becoming immortal in this history, much like how Ivan the Terrible did so by becoming a Yaga... [k] @Holmes ...it would theoretically be possible for China to skip all of its years of instability and civil war and go straight to modernization. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 26] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Da Vinci That could definitely explain how they were able to build something so huge along a satellite orbit path. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Da Vinci Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the sort of thing Qin Shi Huang wanted to build all along. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Holmes One thing we do know is that this nation has not seen the kind of societal change that typically accompanies scientific progress. [k] @Holmes The advancement of science inevitably makes authoritarian regimes obsolete past a certain point, but just look at that village. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 3] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Meunière Yeah. They might as well still be stuck in the B.C. era.
