How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 321

Tang Xia Encounters Big Trouble

About half an hour later, Yang Chen safely landed the helicopter on the roof of the building.

Fang Yingqi and the injured person’s girlfriend, who were cleaning the water stains and mud in the car, ran up.

As soon as Yang Chen got off the plane, Fang Yingqi quickly stepped forward and asked, “How is it? Was it smooth?”

Yang Chen: “Yes, I’ve already handed him over to the ambulance. He’s conscious and there are no problems.”

The injured person’s girlfriend quickly stepped forward and bowed to thank him.

Yang Chen said, “Don’t stay here, quickly go to the police for help and have them send you to the hospital. Family members must be present for surgery and other procedures at the hospital.”

The girl nodded, quickly put down the rag, and ran away.

Yang Chen and Fang Yingqi worked together to cover the plane and quickly went downstairs to clean up.

More than two hours later, the road finally opened.

There was a long queue behind, and Yang Chen didn’t want to waste everyone’s time, so he quickly started the car and left.

……

Ten days later, Yang Chen and the Oriental Preferred team finally arrived at the Potala Palace.

In the hearts of some people, this is a sacred place.

Therefore, many devout people were prostrating every step of the way.

Yang Chen thought it was quite spectacular, but he probably hadn’t reached that level of spiritual devotion and couldn’t fully understand the practice of prostrating every step of the way.

After visiting the Potala Palace, this trip to Sichuan and Tibet was considered complete.

The live broadcast performance of Oriental Preferred was very good, and Lao Yu [Old Yu, likely referring to the head of the company] temporarily added several cities for live commerce on the way back.

Moreover, the Starlight Scientific Research Base has officially started operations, and Yang Chen needed to return and hand over the quantum chip technology to the Huang Guangxiu team as soon as possible.

So Yang Chen didn’t go with the Oriental Preferred team and returned along National Highway 317 in advance.

Half a month later, Yang Chen and Fang Yingqi, who had been traveling for over a month, finally returned to Haicheng.

Yang Chen parked the RV in Fang Yingqi’s parking space and drove his Bugatti Veyron home.

Yu Shishi and Maya heard the car and quickly ran out to greet him.

“Sir, you’re finally back. If you didn’t come back soon, I was going to starve,” Yu Shishi said playfully.

Maya nodded and said, “I feel uncomfortable too.”

Yang Chen: “What’s wrong? Why are you starving?”

Yu Shishi: “When you’re not at home, I always feel like I don’t have a good appetite. Nothing tastes good.”

Maya: “I also feel like something is missing. I don’t have the energy to go to work.”

Yang Chen laughed and parked the car in the garage.

As soon as he turned off the engine, the system issued a reminder.

“Congratulations to the host for completing the special transportation mission. The current special mission completion progress is 10/10. The overall mission is completed, and the host is rewarded with the Gate of Time and Space. However, the host needs to find a safe and private place to open the Gate of Time and Space to ensure its secrecy and safety.”

No wonder the last special transportation mission was so difficult to encounter. It turned out that it was necessary to fulfill Yang Chen’s previous promise to Fang Yingqi to experience the Sichuan-Tibet line together.

Such a mysterious thing should not be opened in a random place.

Yang Chen got out of the car and took the travel bag from the passenger seat. It was full of clothes to change and wash, etc. Yu Shishi needed to take it to wash.

Maya pulled Yang Chen to sit down in the living room and said, “Brother Chen, you have to help me. My mother sent me a message saying that my brother brought people to Dragon Country [a common nickname for China] to find me.

If they find me, you must find a way to keep me here. I can’t go back with him; otherwise, there will be no meaning in my life.”

Yang Chen: “I will do my best.”

Maya: “Okay.”

Yang Chen: “Have you eaten?”

Maya: “No! Knowing you were coming back, Shishi and I were waiting for you.”

Yang Chen: “Good girl. I’m going to take a shower, change clothes, and we’ll eat soon.”

……

It had been more than a month since he had driven a ride-hailing car, so Yang Chen went out early in the morning to drive.

Yang Chen: “Welcome to Bipi Dache [likely a play on words for a ride-hailing service]. Are you the passenger with the last four digits of 9387?”

Passenger: “Yes! Young man, please hurry up, I’m in a hurry.”

Yang Chen: “Okay. I’ll be as fast as possible.”

Before he had driven far, the passenger received a call.

Passenger: “Hello, I’m on the way. Yes. Oh, those foreigners are just so shameless. They use the ‘Iliad’ as history but don’t admit that our Xia Dynasty existed. I’ll be there soon, you deal with them first. Okay, bye.”

Listening to this old gentleman’s words, he seems to be an expert in historical research.

Yang Chen asked with a smile, “Old sir, what did you just say about who doesn’t admit the existence of the Xia Dynasty? Are you talking about the Xia Dynasty established by Dayu who controlled the floods in the history books?”

The old gentleman nodded and said, “Yes! That’s the Xia Dynasty.”

Yang Chen: “Isn’t that a dynasty in the history books? Why do you say someone doesn’t admit it?”

The old gentleman: “The existence of the Xia Dynasty is inferred from the books and texts of later generations, but so far no definite cultural relics and sites from the Xia Dynasty have been found. We have discovered oracle bone inscriptions from the Shang Dynasty, but there is no record of the Xia Dynasty. So foreigners do not admit the existence of the Xia Dynasty and think that it was a dynasty fabricated by the Zhou Dynasty to prove the legitimacy of its regime. We are now working hard to find evidence of the Xia Dynasty to prove the authenticity of this history to the world. It wouldn’t matter if they didn’t admit it, but they treat mythological novels like the ‘Iliad’ as history, look for evidence everywhere according to the descriptions in the novels, and don’t admit our legends, which is just too biased.”

Yang Chen: “Ah? A dynasty that has already been included in history textbooks has no cultural relics and sites to prove its existence?”

The old gentleman sighed and said, “The earliest written record about the existence of the Xia Dynasty is the ‘Shangshu’ [Book of Documents], compiled by Confucius, which is more than a thousand years away from the existence of the Xia Dynasty. So we don’t have enough strong evidence to prove its authenticity in this regard.”

Yang Chen nodded. Putting aside other factors, purely from a literary and historical perspective, without the discovery of cultural relics and sites of the Xia Dynasty, it should not be regarded as definitive history.

If the existence of the Xia Dynasty is determined by legends, wouldn’t that mean that Pangu creating the world and Nuwa creating humans are also real history?

But Yang Chen also felt that people of Confucius’s level should not fabricate things. He must have had his own evidence to dare to compile “Yushu” and “Xiashu” into “Shangshu.”

The best way to get foreigners to admit that we have a five-thousand-year history is to find evidence to prove the existence of the Xia Dynasty, and they will not dare to talk nonsense.

Soon, Yang Chen sent the old gentleman to the Haicheng History Museum.

The “Dragon Foreign History Exchange Conference” is being held here, and anyone interested can enter for free.

Yang Chen had nothing to do, so he found a place to park his car and went in to watch the excitement.

At nine o’clock, the exchange conference officially began.

The first part was for historical experts from various countries to briefly introduce the history of their respective countries.

As the old gentleman said just now, some Western countries’ historical experts really regard the “Iliad”, “Bible-Old Testament”, “Greek Mythology”, etc. as history.

But they don’t copy and paste and treat these contents as history in one go, but look for and “create” evidence based on written records. As long as it can match the content inside, it is history.

If that’s the case, Dragon Country can treat “Shan Hai Jing” [Classic of Mountains and Seas] and the like as history. It’s difficult to find evidence, but isn’t it easy to “create” evidence?

When it was the turn of Dragon Country historians to elaborate on Dragon Country history, the representative was the old gentleman Yang Chen had just driven. According to the introduction, his name is Li Chuanen, a professor in the History Department of Haicheng University, a doctoral supervisor, and also the deputy director of the Haicheng History Research Institute, the director of the Archaeological Institute, and the honorary curator and consultant of the Haicheng History Museum.

Looking at this series of titles, it shows that Li Chuanen has a very high status in the history and archaeology circles.

But Yang Chen didn’t know much about the history and archaeology circles, so he didn’t recognize him when he picked him up earlier.

Li Chuanen still followed the content of the Dragon Country history textbook, starting from the Xia Dynasty.

The second part was for historians from various countries to exchange their experiences and opinions.

At the beginning, everyone could communicate well, but somehow it turned into foreign historical experts questioning Li Chuanen’s statement of “Yao, Shun, Yu followed by Xia [referring to the legendary sage-kings of China before the Xia Dynasty].”

“Mr. Li, so far, your Dragon Country has not been able to find any evidence of the existence of the Xia Dynasty, which cannot be considered part of the history of Dragon Country.”

“That’s right, history needs evidence, not just what you say. If you say that legends and documents are evidence, then we will directly regard the ‘Iliad’, ‘Bible’, and even Greek mythology as history, and your Dragon Country will regard Pangu’s creation of the world as history. Is it even necessary for us to sit here and communicate?”

“The non-existence of the Xia Dynasty is an internationally recognized fact, and this is not a matter of a day or two. Since Mr. Li is an expert in the industry, how can he make such unprofessional claims?”

……

Li Chuanen certainly had to argue on the basis of reason and even expose their evidence of falsifying history in person.

“Everyone can take a look at the comparison of these two photos. Figure 1 is a stone carving of Ma Ta Xiongnu [Horse Trampling the Xiongnu] from the tomb of Huo Qubing, a famous general of the Han Dynasty in our country, which is 2,200 years ago. Figure 2 is a stone lion in front of the Palace of Nebuchadnezzar in the ancient Babylonian period, which is 4,000 years ago. Everyone can see that the stone carving styles in these two photos are the same, and it can be said that they are products of the same civilization period. Western countries claim that ancient Babylon was in the Bronze Age 4,000 years ago. May I ask what was used to carve this stone lion in that era? Therefore, I believe that this stone lion is a fake artifact that was later imitated from Ma Ta Xiongnu,” Li Chuanen said very seriously.

This made those foreign historical experts very angry, and they immediately stood up and argued with Li Chuanen.

Other historical experts from Dragon Country naturally could not let Li Chuanen “fight against the Confucian scholars [a Chinese idiom for fighting alone against many opponents]” alone, and they quickly joined the debate.

In the end, the host forcibly separated them, and the two sides stopped arguing.

Li Chuanen seemed to still be annoyed and said loudly: “I haven’t even mentioned your fake pyramids! Those stones weigh an average of 2.5 tons each. How did you lift them up in that era? If you can’t explain it clearly, you say they are civilization products left by aliens. You can say whatever you want.”

The Dragon Country audience applauded and cheered.

“Good!”

“Well said!”

“You suspect our history and want us to find evidence, but you can’t explain your own history clearly. You can’t be too biased!”

“You robbers, you are not satisfied with robbing other people’s wealth, and you even want to rob history. You are really shameless!”

……

After the foreign historical experts heard the translator’s translation, they were all so angry that they left the venue.

These foreigners are really bad at arguing. It’s okay to compare with Dragon Country in the development of the last two or three hundred years. Why do you want to compare history with Dragon Country?

Even if they were allowed to claim the Xia Dynasty, they are not qualified to compare with Dragon Country in terms of historical heritage.

Everyone was praising Li Chuanen for being tough, but he himself was frowning.

Because what he was thinking about was not proving how fake Western history was, but how to make the world recognize the existence of the Xia Dynasty.

Yang Chen walked out of the History Museum, also frowning.

Before today, he didn’t know that a dynasty that had already been included in history textbooks could not prove its real existence.

Dragon Country people have always been upright; how can they let foreigners question them?

Hurry up and open the Gate of Time and Space to bring back some evidence to shut those foreigners’ mouths.

At this time, Huang Guangxiu called Yang Chen.

Yang Chen quickly answered the phone and asked with a smile, “Professor Huang, what’s the matter?”

Huang Guangxiu: “President Yang, I have good news for you. We have verified eight of the 20 guesses you gave us before, and we are only one step away from manufacturing a quantum chip.”

Yang Chen: “Really? I didn’t expect that the guesses I made up casually would actually be correct.”

Huang Guangxiu: “So, we are all saying that President Yang is truly a genius in this field. If you were a professional researcher, your achievements would definitely be higher than ours.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… that’s not the case. I’m just good at association, but I lack professional knowledge and can’t do research. I still have to rely on you to do research. Then you continue to work hard and try to research the last part. I will also look through more books to see if I can come up with some more associations.”

Huang Guangxiu: “Okay. Then President Yang, I won’t keep you, bye.”

At this time, Li Chuanen, the historical expert who had just “fought against the Confucian scholars”, came over.

“Oh, young man, you haven’t left yet?” Li Chuanen said with a smile.

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and said, “I just went in to watch the excitement. Professor Li’s demeanor of fighting against the Confucian scholars really makes me admire him.”

Li Chuanen: “Haha… I have too much experience in dealing with those foreigners. Although I haven’t studied their history too much, I am very clear about some key falsifications and things that can’t be explained clearly. If they dare to say in front of me that the Xia Dynasty does not exist, I dare to say in front of them that they falsified historical relics.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Professor Li is right, we can’t indulge these foreigners.”

Li Chuanen: “Do you have time now? Can you give me a ride home?”

Yang Chen: “Yes, come on up.”

Yang Chen greeted Li Chuanen to get in the car and returned the same way to send him home.

Yang Chen: “Professor Li, why do foreigners want to falsify their history and question our history?”

Li Chuanen: “To put it mildly, it’s a cultural war. To put it bluntly, it’s a resource war.”

Yang Chen: “Can you explain that in more detail?”

Li Chuanen: “Western fake civilizations have several things in common:

1. They are all civilizations that have been cut off for thousands of years.

2. They were all discovered by white people in the 17th-20th centuries, and the locals have never been able to discover them.

3. The locations of these ancient civilizations were once European colonies.

4. Their dead languages were all deciphered by white people in 300 years.

In other words, all their ancient civilizations full of loopholes were ‘handled’ by white people, but the locals never discovered them. This is equivalent to our history being discovered by Americans, not by ourselves. Isn’t this funny? This is also one of the reasons why I believe that Western civilization is fake.”

Yang Chen: “Then why do they do this?”

Li Chuanen: “At first, it was to cover up the history of plagiarism of Dragon Country civilization by missionaries, so ancient Greek civilization was fabricated. The main purpose was to draw a line between Western modern achievements and Dragon Country civilization. But the strange thing is that because they fabricated ancient Greece without any basis, they actually copied the Hundred Schools of Thought [a philosophical movement during the Zhou Dynasty in China] in reverse and fabricated Sumerian civilization. To fake a civilization, they need to make up ten civilizations to cover up the lies. But they ignored one point: the ancient Greek environment could not produce writing and civilization at all. According to their idea, they want to push Western civilization back to more than 8,000 years ago and compress our Dragon Country civilization to within 3,000 years. In this way, Western civilization is the origin of mankind, and Dragon Country civilization is a dispensable appendage. In fact, just look at their Bible to understand. The Bible says: ‘God blessed them and said to them, ‘
