Setting up the problem

Of course this is a TV show, it's pure and boring, so it's just nonsense.
First of all, I'm sorry to have just read the general history of the world recently, so I still remember the steam age before the electrical age, the great voyage discoveries and even part of the industrial revolution. So when watching this drama, I really can't help myself to complain.
According to JJ Great God’s understanding, people would basically go back to the Middle Ages when there was no electricity. There was no other use except human and animal power. Weapons were basically cold weapons, and people would go back to the rural era. But I want to tell you that almost all the inventions that laid the foundation of the modern world were not original in the electrical age. Of course, the progress was huge, but the beginning was basically in the steam age.
You say it's useless except for human and animal power? Trains, ships, windmills, and steam engines are all indispensable to electricity. If I remember correctly, there are times when cars do not rely on electricity at all. Even factory-oriented industries appeared in the steam age.
The weapons are all cold weapons? Don't be funny, most of the rifles used in World War II were not connected to electricity. We had muskets and cannons in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the war was not a problem for tens of thousands of people. To put it bluntly, there were tens of thousands of guns. I dare not say about the airplane, but I don’t know how many naval battles have been fought in the steam age.
Rural area? Don’t be funny, London is a giant. When Paris became the center of the world, it definitely started in the steam age. If you remember correctly, Holmes’s era was not the electrical age (of course, if you remember it wrong, I didn’t say it). In short, the British When the sun never sets, the empire has no electricity when it starts to develop. You can change the countryside as soon as the power goes out. What makes Watt feel so embarrassed.
Of course, people will be chaotic for a while when the electricity is suddenly gone, but it’s like Japan was blown out of slag, but it will become a world power after a few decades. Although the steam age is far away from us, it is not so far away. At that point, so it’s not impossible for Niu’s place at that time to turn over and become the overlord after a power outage after more than ten years. Who is that? America, Europe, or these places.
By the way, when the world's leaders started colonies in Europe and America, there was no electricity.
Of course, if you are more rigorous, this drama should play the celestial dynasty. I personally think that the world is out of power. It is definitely a good opportunity for a second-tier country like the celestial dynasty to turn over and become the master, because we can't keep up with technology because of the electrical age and even the information age. People have always been so aggrieved. Now that we have returned to the steam age, manpower is valuable, so it's really hard to say whether we can be the boss.
Actually, the key point is that this "no electricity" setting is indeed a bit embarrassing. I know that JJ is actually trying to make a drama "what should humans do if they suddenly don't have modern technology" this time, but this era of no electricity is too close. A little bit, the level of human development before was a bit too high. For example, if this setting is replaced with alternative energy and alternative power after the era without any steam, to put it bluntly, it will directly bring people back to the Middle Ages, which feels a little smoother. As for the explanation-does the lost director still care about the explanation?
Of course, this is pure nonsense. Watching TV is good, but sometimes it is unavoidable to think that this kind of TV series is rampant in the United States, which shows that Lao Mei’s historical common sense is really ordinary. . .

Revolution quotes

  • Miles Matheson: We lived in an electric world. We relied on it for everything. And then the power went out. Everything stopped working. We weren't prepared. Fear and confusion lead to panic. The lucky ones made it out of the cities. The government collapsed. Militias took over, controlling the food supply and stockpiling weapons. We still don't know why the power went out, but we're hopeful that someone will come and light the way.
