Chapter 880 Nightmare Typewriter

  Due to the relationship of characters, Chinese is not suitable for movable type printing, but English with only 26 letters, or Spanish, Italian and other languages ​​are more suitable for movable type printing.

  It is precisely because of the revolution in the printing industry that new audiences have been created and the rise of public opinion has been promoted.

  The church preached through mass, they could not control the media, such as courts, parliaments, colleges and universities became platforms for debate.

Even though some "banned books" churches banned them, they still have secret printing presses printing. These books are not all good. Many printers are illiterate. They know the letters but don’t know what they mean by combining them. Anyway, they are only responsible for the work. Make money.

  Some of these books are written by scholars, and some are pamphlets of witch hunt organizations to promote disasters caused by wizards. They are constantly flowing into the society, and people are almost schizophrenic.

European rational philosophy excludes all mysterious forces that cannot be explained by science, restricts the involvement of gods in natural laws and mathematical formulas, denies supernatural phenomena in the development of nature, excludes any theoretical basis of devil power, and uses medical, sociological or psychological debates to contain "Wizard fanaticism" or wizard faith, but unfortunately it has never been successful.

"Curiosity is the driving force of human progress." There are always stupid children playing psychic board for divination. China also has similar things, but they call it Dixian. If you play with this kind of thing, you will have trouble, but no one listens to it. .

  China has always paid attention to education. The illiteracy rate in ancient China was probably the lowest in the world. In the 1860s, missionaries conducted surveys in Hunan. The result was that the illiteracy rate was only 60%, and it was still an average county, town or mountain area. The illiteracy rate in cities is less than 50%.

  After the Meiji Restoration, although basically 90% of Japanese people can recognize characters, they are hiragana and katakana. Chinese is the most difficult language in the world. If Japanese people recognize Chinese characters as the standard, the illiteracy rate will soar. Even Japanese college students in the 21st century cannot write a lot of Chinese characters. How many Chinese characters do people in the Edo period know?

  In 1950, the data of the Chinese survey was that the illiteracy rate was over 80%, which was caused by multiple reasons.

  First, wars and natural disasters, from the end of Manchu rule to 1950, experienced warlord melee, World War II and civil war.

  The second is the rapid change of the education system. In January 1912, the Republic of China was established, and the scripture reading was abolished immediately, and the government only recognized the academic qualifications of the new school. Private schools disappeared in large numbers, but the new school could not find teachers for a while.

The innovation of printing is one of the most important changes in modern China. Traditional Chinese engraving is gradually being replaced by Western metal-casting printing, which has greatly reduced the cost of knowledge dissemination and the speed of dissemination. This has greatly affected the intellectual community and the entire society. Has a shocking effect.

  Chinese cannot be printed with movable type, otherwise the word picker will be blinded. The Catholic missionaries at that time used the method of casting and engraving to improve Chinese printing.

  In the corner of this store, she found a Chinese typewriter, which was so different from what she thought.

  Westerners invented the typewriter for the convenience of typing. It can be placed on the desk. Many official documents are printed by the typewriter.

  This Chinese typewriter completely complicates simple things. It is as big as a desk. If you really use it for office, you might as well copy it by hand.

   "Your husband really loves to collect strange things." She couldn't help but sigh.

   "Is there anything I can help you with?"

  At this moment, a middle-aged woman suddenly appeared behind her.

  Pomona felt her hairs stand up.

  She looked back at the place where the old woman was standing. There was no one at all, not even Severus who was here just now.

  She felt a strong sense of suffocation.

  Everyone knew that Severus Snape was dead, and only she herself thought he was married to herself.

  He has always loved Lily Potter.

How could a silly woman like her be willing to be his "mistress", not to mention that Pomona Sprout is so fat and so ugly, and Sindurella is at least very beautiful. Why would she be the half-blood prince? Fancy it.

  She also imagined that Sirius Black would fight Severus for her. What a foolish delusion.

  Women often have hallucinations in their minds. For example, the male priest in the monastery in Provence did not do anything to the nuns, but the nuns thought they were in love with him.

  Women value love more than men value their careers. Love is an indispensable part of their lives.

  She couldn't stay in this place anymore, so she ran out quickly. The rain outside the house was not too heavy, but the scenery became hazy. The scenery of Venice in front of her was like a set on an opera stage.

   Then, she heard the crackling sound of a typewriter coming from behind.

  At first, it was one, and then more. She followed the voice and looked at it. Behind her was no longer a small shop that was about to be flooded, but a sunny office.

  There are many women who wear clothes from the 1940s, with their fingers flying as fast as weavers.

  The file they typed is the list of soldiers killed in battle.

  400,000 Americans died in World War II. Printing out these lists is a huge amount of work, and of course many people are required to complete it.

  If you were an American during World War II, which battlefield would you like to go to? Europe or the Pacific?

  The landing battle is like a meat grinder. Many recruits died without even firing their guns.

  Those names are printed on the buttons that have been polished to shine.

  Pomona looked at the women, there was no expression on their faces, whether they were numb or pretending to be indifferent.

   "It's not World War II, it's the Vietnam War." An unusually hoarse voice that made it difficult to tell whether it was a male or a female voice said, "You received my message, why didn't you respond to me?"

   "What news?" she asked subconsciously.

   Then she saw an extra page on the ground with 18 characters written on it:

  EBEORIETEMETHHPITI

  There are thousands of spelling methods for the string of 18 characters, but Pomona chose the most nonsense.

  HEIPMEORIIBETHEETT.

  "It’s not ETT, it’s TET. Vietnamese people are used to calling it New Year’s holiday TET. In 1968, we regained Hue with bombs, tanks and artillery during the Vietnamese New Year’s holiday."

  "Have you committed a war crime?" Pomona asked.

   "The command above is'kill anything that is alive'."

  Pomona didn’t know what to say.

   "War correspondents reported this incident, and the news spread back to China, and the public's support for the Vietnam War dropped. I finally left that hell."

   "This is why you don't use a typewriter?"

   "I think it found me through a typewriter." The hoarse voice said, "Tap, tap, tap."

   Pomona remembered the nickname of the Thomson submachine gun, how the Americans sum up the typewriter bar.

"Nothing can stop the president from launching a war. On January 1, 1968, the newspaper was still saying that the new year would be entered in a beautiful manner. The power of the US president in foreign affairs is far greater than that in domestic affairs. Because external affairs basically represent the interests of the entire country, and it is not as clear as the interests of domestic affairs."

   "No, Betis was killed in 1966."

   "So you think I'm lying?" the hoarse voice asked.

   "How do you think I can help you?"

  No one answered her.

   "Can you see my voice?"

   said a low voice like a cello.

  Her sight gradually returned to clarity.

  At this moment, she is neither in the sunny office full of typewriters, nor in the rainy Venice. She is still in the shop that sells oriental goods.

  The old woman is still here, and the wizard with greasy hair and pale like a vampire.

  He is really suitable for gloomy weather, but his hands are warm, it seems that he is not her hallucination.

   "It's TET, not ETT." She looked at his black eyes and said, "It's the Spring Festival in Vietnam."

"what?"

   "What could be more terrifying nightmare than a shining superhero degenerating into a war criminal of the Shanghai International Tribunal?" She smiled weirdly. "No wonder Zidiac would say he can't hold it anymore."

   "He is harassing you?"

   "It's okay." She hooked his neck and kissed him fiercely.

  Just ask a child what it was like to be beaten up when he was expecting to receive gifts at Christmas. No wonder the Americans can’t beat Vietnam anymore.

  "I believe in America".

  Which idiot said this?

Since the "War of Rights Act" became law, many military operations in the United States have acted in accordance with this law. It was learned in January this year. The House of Representatives passed a resolution with 224 votes in favor and 194 votes against it, aiming to strengthen Congress. Oversight of operations that could lead the United States into war.

  　　 So, without supervision, it feels really good to do whatever you want.
