In the plan of the class leader, Qin is going to expand its territory, and the power of explosives should not be underestimated. Otherwise, the impact of war on people's livelihoods will make it quite difficult to implement subsequent policies. Therefore, by making explosives through alchemy, it can reduce the loss of population in Qin Dynasty. When the senior students from the chemistry department arrived at the alchemy furnace, they had already prepared the formula for the landmines, considering everything from where to obtain saltpeter to the proper proportions.
The remaining task is to test the purity and complete the production of explosives.
I looked at the hurried crowd in the palace and couldn't help but marvel at the diversity of life.
Occasionally when Qin Shihuang comes to inspect, I will emerge from the corner and calmly start directing them, then feed him a Godly Nascent Elixir.
After that, Qin Shihuang happily left.
Half a month later, the explosives were made.
On the day of the test explosion, Qin Shihuang was still in court and heard that his harem had exploded with a loud bang.
After the morning court session, as expected, Qin Shi Huang came to find me immediately. I stood with my hands behind my back, looking at him with a mysterious expression, gesturing for the senior brothers and sisters to demonstrate for him.
"Your Majesty, while refining elixirs, I accidentally discovered this secret, which I believe will be helpful for Your Majesty's ambition to dominate the world. Therefore, I present this prescription to Your Majesty," I said confidently.
In the eyes of Qin Shi Huang, there was a gleam of light. He was an extremely intelligent person, unparalleled in military and political matters. He understood the use of gunpowder better than I did.
"I think with it, Your Majesty will have a better grasp on the lands of Baiyue and the barbarians," he said.
Qin Shi Huang heard this and burst into laughter, "With you like this, what need have I to worry about the world?"
It was just a moment, and the gaze of Qin Shi Huang turned cold. "I have never revealed my plans to attack Baiyue and the barbarians to anyone. How did you come to know about it?"
In an instant, I broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that I had completely forgotten about this matter.
It's only 221 BC, why would we be attacking Baiyue and the barbarians?
In the midst of a whirlwind of thoughts, I pretended to be nonchalant, smiled gracefully, and said, "Your Majesty, you will eventually understand the reason." Qin Shi Huang remained silent, seemingly trying to read my mind. Fortunately, the decree promoting me to the rank of a beauty was issued that very night.
We all breathed a sigh of relief. With the emergence of gunpowder, Qin Shi Huang's war against the Baiyue was also advanced. The army moved, with provisions leading the way.
I stand in front of the Xianyang Palace, gazing earnestly at Emperor Qin Shi Huang, "I am willing to share Your Majesty's worries."
Emperor Qin Shi Huang's gaze towards me changes, no longer as a palace maid, but as his subject.
"What do you seek?"
I thought for a long time and only said, "I hope that when the great army returns victorious, I will already be Your Majesty's wife." The next level above a beauty is a wife, and above a wife is an empress. The expression in the eyes of the Qin Shi Huang of Qin changed again. Perhaps he thought that I was attracted by his charm.
But this is actually a difficult problem to solve. The shortage of food in Qin Dynasty has always been an issue. The land of Qin is barren, so it is difficult to gather food in the short term. However, after a night of discussion, the experienced senior students told us the conclusion, "The amount of food and forage needed for the Qin army to attack the barbarians is a very large number, but a significant portion of this number is consumed during the journey."
It means that transporting food to the front lines requires soldiers and horses, and these soldiers and horses will also need food while escorting the food. Because of the massive amount of transportation, the more soldiers and horses are needed, the more the number will increase exponentially. "So, what about canned food?" Suddenly, the senior student studying food technology interjected.
He has been busy re-planning the rice cultivation of the Qin Dynasty and researching issues such as improving soil fertility. He has been away on a business trip for several days.
Canned food is convenient to store, easy to carry, and very suitable for our purposes.
"However, I'm not very clear about how those iron cans are made."
The senior students from the science and engineering department shook their heads, "We need iron!"
This is a big deal, not something that can be easily accomplished.
"It's time for the Elixir of immortality to be further refined," the class leader said sincerely to the senior student from the traditional Chinese medicine department.
In the silence, I can still feel the disdain from my senior brother. Without stopping, I started to improve the Godly Nascent Elixir again. Fortunately, I have a background in traditional Chinese medicine, and many of the ingredients are recorded in ancient texts. The preservation of these things from the Qin Dynasty is quite complete, and my senior brother has also received a lot of inspiration from them. A fragrant pill is now ready.
Next, it's my turn to shine and deceive, Ms. Li Ran. She has a way with words that could confuse even Qin Shi Huang, and even her father, Li Si, can't help but feel embarrassed for his precious daughter. Until he heard the last sentence, he suddenly stood up, "You know the location of all the mineral veins in the country!"
Ying Zheng sat on the high platform, the dark robe on his body adding to his majesty. He waved his hand to silence Li Si. His eyes, burning with fierce ambition, were fixed firmly on me. I stood calmly below, meeting his gaze without fear.
For a long time, he finally spoke, "Li Ran, is this true?"
"I dare not deceive Your Majesty."
So the vigorous iron ore mining began nationwide, and Qin Shihuang stopped all manual labor and invested all human resources into it.
My fifty-one classmates also left me, and on the night they left, I was summoned to the Xianyang Palace. It wasn't the attendants who usually followed Qin Shi Huang, but the Imperial Guard. I knew something was wrong, Ying Zheng still suspected me.
Cold sweat dripped down, but I kept a straight face as I followed him, trying to leave some traces behind for the squad leader to find out that I had been taken away. Unfortunately, it didn't work. In the vast palace, there was only me facing off against Qin Shihuang, or perhaps he was just observing me unilaterally.
Li Ran's father, mother, and so on, everyone who knows Li Ran was called here. They dissected Li Ran's life and past events in front of me, bit by bit. Obviously, she and I are two different people.
