"You once said that you had to wait until after some industrial revolution to do this. The time must be right now, right?"
Hearing Medici's words, Lin Ruo completely confirmed that he had definitely discussed such matters with Medici before, and had even told him that if he wanted to carry out a revolution and achieve a society of equality for all, he first had to liberate social productivity.
After all, with sufficient social productivity, everyone being able to eat and dress warmly would not be an empty talk. If productivity was not enough, even the best system would only be empty talk, a mirage.
But in the era before Medici was stewed… Lin Ruo thought of the distance between the social state and the industrial revolution in the fourth epoch, and his expression towards Medici became subtle.
He was very sure that he himself had not promoted the industrial revolution. After all, he was once a standard liberal arts student; he couldn't say he knew nothing about the set of things required for the industrial revolution, only that he understood nothing at all.
Even if he could find skilled craftsmen and convey his ideas to them, the effect he could achieve would probably be hard to describe.
For example, the spinning jenny. Lin Ruo did know about such a thing, and even knew this period of history by heart, but if you asked him about its structure, Lin Ruo truly knew nothing.
In this situation, helping craftsmen improve their tools? It would be good if he didn't make things worse.
Moreover, in the fourth epoch, with the chaotic wars of gods, it was truly difficult to have space for an industrial revolution.
And if he had discussed revolution with Medici back then, and told him to wait until after the liberation of productivity, considering that he most likely didn't have the original memory at that time… wasn't that just waiting indefinitely?
Although considering the normal historical process, the industrial revolution was an inevitable outcome when the era developed to a certain extent, no one could really say how long this would take.
Thinking of this, Lin Ruo's gaze towards Medici became even more subtle. He said seriously, "Medici, you are indeed my favorite tool man."
He was just too useful!
"Can't even say a good word, can you?" Medici said grumpily, crossing his arms.
"Then I'll start over." Lin Ruo was serious, then he showed sincere emotion, his tone full of feeling, "Brother, you're truly my brother! Love you, heart-to-heart."
"That's fake," Medici said very pickily. If one ignored his increasingly unrestrained smile, one might truly think he was dissatisfied.
"Alright, such high demands." Lin Ruo put away his sincere expression, rolled his eyes, and then his expression became much more solemn.
He walked up to Medici and said seriously, "Medici, I won't say thank you. It's too superficial, not suitable for our friendship."
"Anyway, I'm really looking forward to us fighting side by side again in the future."
"Although I don't remember, I think we must be the best partners."
He extended his fist. Medici raised an eyebrow at the sight and also extended his fist.
The two fists met, causing Medici's eyes to blur for a moment. He seemed to have thought of something, but he said grumpily,
"So when are you going to change your honorific name? I've said it before, war is my Domain. Your honorific name is somewhat inappropriate, isn't it?"
"Who says it's inappropriate? I think it's very suitable." Lin Ruo would not give in on such a matter. He then seemed to think of something and said seriously, "But I still don't know how to establish such an order in this world, so I'm afraid I'll have to wait until someone who can do it appears."
"Tsk, how long do we have to wait?" Medici clicked his tongue, seemingly unsurprised as he asked.
Lin Ruo's mind flashed with the current state of society. After a few seconds, he said, "It shouldn't be too long. Now, social conflicts have accumulated to a point, and it's the time for various talents to emerge…" For example, Young Miss Justice who betrayed her class in the original work.
Lin Ruo thought of something else and said, "Perhaps you can start with some small battles to practice?"
For example, after dealing with the Sea Serpent, helping the Rebel Army carry out a righteous anti-colonial war.
Lin Ruo was not an anti-war activist. He hated aggression, but he did not oppose such righteous revolutions and anti-colonial wars.
"Huh?" Medici naturally didn't know what Lin Ruo was talking about, but he didn't seem to care either. "Whatever you say. Anyway, I've waited this long, I don't mind waiting a bit longer."
"By the way, Adam said you have a conqueror characteristic?" Medici thought of something else and asked.
"It seems so, but I have amnesia now. If you want to ask me for it, you'll probably have to wait until my memory recovers."
Lin Ruo didn't hide it. Not to mention that he suddenly found that the problem that had been bothering him seemed to be suddenly resolved, even if it wasn't, if Medici asked, he didn't intend to hide this matter from Medici.
"Your amnesia is really annoying." Medici pouted, his tone returning to his Yin and Yang sarcastic manner.
"No choice, it's all to prevent that from awakening in my body!" Lin Ruo shrugged, "Anyway, you're not even Sequence 1 yet, what's the hurry?"
"It won't take long for my memory to recover."
"Tsk." Medici said nothing more. He just looked at Adam, his gaze sharp yet lazy, and said,
"You know the answer now."
Lin Ruo looked at Adam upon hearing this. He thought for a moment and guessed what the two had just been discussing. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
As for discussing revolution directly with Medici in front of Adam, Lin Ruo honestly didn't care too much. Starting such a revolution was no small matter. When it really happened, Adam would know even if he didn't know now.
Moreover, Lin Ruo was almost suffering from Adam PTSD now, highly suspecting that this guy who 'cared' for him in the name of 'love' might occasionally use psychological invisibility to peek at what he was doing.
Since that was the case, there was nothing to hide about these matters.
Considering that a Spectator needed to push the tide of the times to become a god, Lin Ruo even wondered if Adam would take the opportunity to push it along.
However, expecting him to directly become an ally like Medici was unlikely. After all, as seen in the original work, this guy always had several preparations, and Lin Ruo didn't expect him to abandon his original preparations for himself.
Just as he was thinking this, Lin Ruo heard Adam's gentle and emotionless voice:
"Establishing such an order in this world is not easy."
"I know." Lin Ruo looked at him, not surprised by his words, "I know that establishing order in this world is like building a sandcastle on the beach; it might just take one high tide for all efforts to be in vain."
"But someone has to try, and someone has to try."
"Don't you agree?"
Since Medici chose to help him, Lin Ruo dared to try. Anyway, he had originally planned to add fuel to the fire once the sparks ignited.
He never lacked courage in this regard.
Adam was noncommittal.
"You two continue chatting, I'm going to cook." Seeing that Adam had no intention of continuing to speak, Lin Ruo turned and returned to the kitchen, resuming his busy work.
Only, his mood was clearly much better than before.
