#505 - Chapter 505 A Spaceship
"Old Qin, it's come to this, can you give me some useful information?" Dongfang Chen said, forcing a smile.
"Actually, a long time ago, I personally led a team to explore this place," Old Qin said.
"Then why didn't you tell me yesterday?" Dongfang Chen asked, annoyed.
"You think I didn't want to? Did I tell you few things yesterday? Did you believe me?" Old Qin retorted.
"…" Dongfang Chen was speechless.
Frankly speaking, if Old Qin had told him yesterday that he had accidentally entered a folded space while exploring Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum, he probably wouldn't have believed it.
"I'm asking you, are there still things left in Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum that haven't been brought out?" Old Qin asked.
"This…" Dongfang Chen was a little embarrassed.
"Tell the truth!" Old Qin said.
"Yes." Dongfang Chen replied helplessly.
"You, ah, you, I told you to bring everything back, but you just wouldn't listen." Old Qin was also speechless.
"Are you saying that the reason we entered the folded space has something to do with leaving things in Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum?" Dongfang Chen understood.
"That's right!" Old Qin replied.
"How is that possible? Does Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum have the ability to fold space?" Dongfang Chen couldn't believe it.
"Not exactly. Actually, there's something else in Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum," Old Qin replied.
"Something else? What is it?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"A spaceship," Old Qin replied.
"A spaceship?" Dongfang Chen was shocked.
"Yes. Were you also teleported to the depths of Mount Li?" Old Qin asked.
"That's right," Dongfang Chen replied.
"Good, listen to me. Dig 3 meters straight down from where you appeared. Do as I say, and everything will be clear," Old Qin said.
"Okay!" Dongfang Chen nodded.
After hanging up the phone, he sent robots to clear the snow directly below the warship.
Then, he sent down a queen bee.
It's safer to probe first before digging.
Since the area being probed was very small, the results came quickly.
Sure enough, a box was buried in the soil three meters deep directly below the warship.
Dongfang Chen ordered the robots to dig down, and they quickly dug out the box.
This was a square aluminum box, looking like it was used to hold some special instruments.
Moreover, this kind of box was very popular twenty or thirty years ago.
Dongfang Chen opened the box, and what came into view was a bundle of jade slips woven with gold thread.
His heart skipped a beat.
Old Qin didn't lie to him, jade slips really existed, but the location where they appeared was not quite right.
Dongfang Chen opened the jade slips with trembling hands, and the content was written in Small Seal Script.
"Since I ascended the throne, I have been diligent day and night, attending to state affairs from morning till night…"
It seemed that this should be Qin Shi Huang's narrative.
To be honest, this Classical Chinese written in Small Seal Script was really awkward to read and not easy to understand. Dongfang Chen could only let Xiaolin translate it.
According to the translation results, some of the content in the jade slips was similar to what Old Qin said.
Before Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, there were already big problems within the Qin state.
Years of famine, reduced land production, and many people starved to death every day.
Therefore, launching wars outward had become a helpless choice at that time.
If you wanted to have food to eat, you could only grab it.
At the same time, a cult appeared among the people, called the Fire Cleansing Sect.
Famine, coupled with the Fire Cleansing Sect's crazy destruction, many vassal states were actually already precarious. Some countries' royal families were even completely controlled by the Fire Cleansing Sect.
Originally, the Qin state didn't have much of a chance, but one day a meteorite fell from the sky and landed in the depths of Mount Li.
Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum in the northern part of Mount Li was under construction, and many people saw the bright fire streak across the night sky.
A team of soldiers went to investigate, and as a result, they were affected by radiation and became incredibly powerful.
Qin Shi Huang thought this was a gift from heaven, so he took this opportunity to form a powerful army. The commander of this army was Wang Jian.
So, in the next few years, Wang Jian led this army as if he had a cheat code, invincible and victorious in every battle, sweeping across the world. Except for South Korea, which had already been destroyed at the time, the other five countries were all destroyed by him.
After the world was pacified, this meteorite became the biggest threat to the Great Qin Empire.
After all, anyone could rely on it to build a powerful army, which was too dangerous.
At this time, Wang Jian's army also had problems.
A large number of blood纹 began to appear on their bodies, which was extremely terrifying.
At this time, Qin Shi Huang realized that this meteorite might not be a gift from heaven, but a demon's curse.
Therefore, Qin Shi Huang ordered that laborers be gathered from the other six countries to excavate Mount Li, planning to bury this meteorite underground and hide it permanently.
It should be noted here that excavating Mount Li and building the imperial mausoleum were not the same group of people.
The two construction sites were very close, and no one except Li Si knew all the inside information.
But all of this was just an introduction, the content behind the jade slip was what Dongfang Chen cared about most.
