Chapter 1 Qin's Sorrow
Chapter 1 Qin's Sorrow
The universe is vast, boundless and full of mysteries.
In the current human technology and thinking, the number of uncertain explorations is less than one in a billion.
Before my eyes, a continent in the shape of an inverted triangle was floating in the deep blue sky. This continent was a hundred miles in area, dark brown in color, with no vegetation, no running water, only the heavy air of death and the clear hostility it exuded.
Not far away, a colorful planet that was more than a million times larger than it was staying behind it. Compared with it, the two were like an ant compared to a big tree.
At this moment, the continent was shaking violently like a precarious egg, and making bursts of loud rumbling noises.
In the surging sea of clouds above the continent, two giant dragons were flying up and down, spewing out clouds and mist, each with their own brilliant colors, tightly entangled with each other.
The golden dragon, about a thousand feet long, with golden clouds coming out of its mouth, collided with and tore at the slightly smaller inky black dragon with earth-shattering dragon roars.
However, it was clearly visible at this time that the black dragon was almost exhausted, covered in wounds, and was struggling to hold on.
at last!
"boom!"
As a deafening sound was heard, a strong golden and black shock wave spread outward like a ripple with the continent as the center, drawing a graceful circle in the boundless space and gradually disappearing into the distant sky.
As the loud rumbling sound rang out, a small half of the continent began to collapse, and the broken debris of the continent quickly burst outward with the spreading ripples, floating away rapidly, leaving behind only half of the continent filled with smoke.
At this time, on the mainland, a deep voice came from the depths of the smoke:
"Ying Zheng, you still won't surrender after all this?"
far away:
"Ahem! Surrender? Do you think that's possible?"
The voice was low and hoarse, with weak breath and accompanied by dry coughs.
A gust of wind blew, and the smoke quickly dissipated, revealing a tall figure.
This was an old man, his face was as pale as paper, and the blood oozing from the corners of his mouth had dyed his long gray-white beard red. He wore a purple-gold crown and a golden dragon robe. He had a golden sword sticking on the ground, and he held the hilt tightly with both hands. The sword was trembling and making a buzzing sound.
Although the golden crown was missing and the dragon robe was torn, it still couldn't stop the aura of a king emanating from him. Behind him, the shadow of the hundred-foot-long golden dragon was still slowly moving, with rays of light spraying from its mouth.
"Hey! Why did we have to come to this? Over the past two thousand years, I have seen the changes your appearance has brought to my entire Luoshen Star Region. To be honest, I am very happy, and even a little jealous. I am jealous of your talent, your courage, and also a little jealous of your charm. You are my brother, a brother for more than a thousand years, don't you know how to give in? As long as you!!!"
Before the old man could finish, the hoarse voice from the other side interrupted him:
"Humph! Brother? Don't mention brother again! For so long, for the sake of the word brother, I, Ying Zheng, have donated my divine blood to enhance the blood inheritance of the entire star field. For this, I also personally gave away my Great Qin Dynasty and dedicated my Great Qin culture to the entire Luoshen Star Field without reservation. However, your narrow-mindedness and unnecessary suspicion have killed many of my close friends, and... and them!"
The speaker was a middle-aged man.
This man had a square face, bright eyes, sword-like eyebrows, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a three-inch black beard like a steel needle. At this moment, his face was as white as silver paper, and his mouth and nose were bleeding. The black armor on his body had been broken, the armor pieces were scattered, and his whole body was stained red with blood. In his hand, he held a black sword handle, but the blade had been shattered and disappeared.
The man stood straight, but his body seemed to be shaky.
As he spoke, he shifted his gaze behind the old man opposite.
There were dozens of people standing in the distance behind the old man. Several of them noticed the gaze that man was giving them, and quickly turned their eyes away and slowly lowered their heads.
“Hahahaha! Ying Zheng, even at this point, I still have no regrets. In order for the Luoshen Star Region to safely survive this disaster, I must do this! Ying Zheng, a man of insight is a hero. Since they are willing to follow me, I will naturally not treat them unfairly. I will give you a choice. Look behind you. Your choice determines their fate!”
After hearing this, Ying Zheng turned his head and looked at the two people sitting cross-legged behind him.
It was obvious that these two had just been beaten up. They were covered in wounds and their voices were weak.
However, when Ying Zheng turned around, the two of them looked determined. The silence at this moment already represented their thoughts.
Looking at the two of them, Ying Zheng said loudly:
"it is good!"
He turned around and laughed at the old man:
"Hahahaha! Luoshen, you should understand very well that those who are not of my race must have different hearts. You are doing this to bring the entire Luoshen Star Region into the abyss. Do you know that this is a road of no return? Alas! There is no point in saying more! The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I, Ying Zheng, have already expected today's defeat. I also know that it is useless to say so much to you. Since this is the case, from now on, you and I will fight to the death! Come on, there is no need to fear death!"
The old man Luoshen looked at Ying Zheng who straightened up again and sneered:
"Hehe! Seeking death? How can I bear it? The essence and blood of the three of you are precious!"
After the old man finished speaking, he suddenly raised the sword in his hand and shouted:
"Five-clawed golden dragon, lock!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the thousand-foot-tall dragon behind Luo Shen roared and stretched out a claw, with the tip of the claw shining with golden light!
Dozens of golden iron chains with hooks appeared out of thin air beside Ying Zheng and the two people behind him. The huge curved hooks at the front of the chains instantly pierced into the scapula and limbs of the three people's shoulders, and one hook pierced through the three people's heart veins.
"Ah!!!" The three of them raised their heads. Although they tried to endure the pain, they couldn't help but groan.
"Imprisoned in Hell!"
Luo Shen shouted loudly, and three golden chains appeared out of thin air, gradually disappearing with the three people.
At the moment when the three disappeared, Ying Zheng looked back into the distance, and then his eyes focused on one place. His expression moved slightly, and his eyes became soft. He muttered silently in his heart, "Qin Shang? Hey! Old man, I'm relying on you there!"
In the deep sky far away, nine planets of different colors, from near to far, except for the last one, the other eight planets are almost lined up in a line, and Ying Zheng's focus is on the third planet, which is a planet that is emerald green and full of vitality.
... ... ... ...
"Qin Feng, it's done! The nitric acid mixture has worked. The mercury here has been diluted and the mercury concentration has dropped below the safety standard. How is your side?"
Looking at the long dark corridor in front of him, and hearing Zhao Gang's excited words, Qin Feng, who had been shot to death more than a hundred times in a row, silently replied:
"This damn mechanical crossbow, the mechanical art of the Mohist and Gongshu schools, is very difficult to deal with! Come over here first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a phantom and a figure appeared beside Qin Feng.
Qin Feng glanced sideways and muttered:
"Gangzi, you cheated again. How shameless!"
"Brother! This is just you. You've been killed more than a hundred times. If you're not annoyed, I'm annoyed too. No wonder everyone calls you a stubborn person! We are NPCs! Brother, I just need to move my fingers and Qin Shi Huang will come out and dance hula for us!"
Qin Feng turned around and glared at Gangzi:
"Do you believe that I will let you dance the hula dance right now?"
Gangzi shrank his neck in fear:
"Okay, okay! Class is about to start. Last one, hurry up!"
Seeing Qin Feng glaring at him, Gangzi was so scared that he quickly changed the subject.
The two of them groped their way towards the depths of the dim corridor, one in front and one behind.
"Three-three combination, poison-tempered self-firing crossbows, Gongshu Lian's masterpiece. One group every three meters, a range of thirty meters, 180 degrees without blind spots, just enough to cover this passage. Gangzi, is this what the information says?"
"That's right, but no one has figured out how these crossbows are triggered. The 3D images formed by the MRI scans show that I can imitate the overall structure of the mausoleum and every detail. But! Look at the stone slabs under your feet. I estimate that each one weighs about 1,000 kilograms. Using the weight change of the stone slabs to trigger the crossbows is the only possibility. This is all I can do now."
As soon as Gangzi finished speaking, Qin Feng thought for a moment and said:
"Yes! Laser scanning, 3D printing! It's just strange that some important hubs of the entire region are always blurred. This shouldn't be the case! Take this crossbow mechanism for example. Apart from the basic structure of the crossbow, we know nothing about it."
Gangzi scratched his head:
"So, I can only make the structure of the internal mechanism. I am still trying to figure out how to trigger the mechanism! It's so confusing!"
Qin Feng began to unlock the key carefully while speaking:
"Look here, three layers of mortise and tenon joints, and circular buckles all around. Look here, the three crossbows are connected to this place by this nine-section wood. This is the overall control of the nine crossbows. If I'm not mistaken, I can solve it in a few more attempts!"
Just as Qin Feng was speaking, he inserted a foot-long caliper into the main control and turned it gently. Suddenly, they heard a series of "clicks! Whoosh!"
As several hidden crossbows in the dark corners on both sides of the corridor extended and retracted, more than a dozen crossbow arrows shot towards the two men rapidly.
"Hey!"
Gangzi looked at the dozen or so crossbow arrows sticking out of the two men and sighed.
"I give up on you. I'm afraid no one will break your record of courting death! Maybe next time! Let's go, we're going to be late!"
In the dormitory, on the AI smart bionic chair, the two took off their smart helmets. Gangzi looked up and glanced at the clock on the wall:
"Ouch! We're really going to be late, let's go!"
Throwing down his helmet, Zhao Gang pulled Qin Feng and ran outside.
Qin Feng, 22 years old, has a precious Qin bamboo slip in his family that looks like a family tree. His ancestors have claimed to be descendants of the First Emperor. When the Terracotta Warriors were discovered in 1974, his great-grandfather, a nationally renowned archaeologist at the time, participated in the archaeological restoration. Later, his grandfather, father and mother were all members of the Qin Mausoleum Archaeological Institute.
Qin Feng has been interested in Chinese history and culture since he was young, especially the history of Qin and the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. In the end, he simply gave up the admission letter from Fudan University in Shanghai and came to study at the National Institute of History, his parents' alma mater. He is now a senior student and is about to graduate.
Because he had been dealing with archaeology since he was a child, this guy had a very different personality. He was bold and had been fighting since he was a child. He believed that he was the greatest. Once, when he was doing archaeology with his parents, he actually slept alone in a tomb passage. When he woke up, he actually used someone's skull as a gourd. However, he was afraid of women and would hide when he saw a woman. So when he fought with others later, if he couldn't beat him, he would find a woman, and then he would be defeated.
During an archaeological excavation in Shennongjia, a chimpanzee that was seriously injured and on the verge of death was rescued and adopted by Qin Feng. Since then, his wildlife protection shelter has been established. He is particularly attentive to animals. This makes many people wonder what this guy was in his previous life!
Gangzi, whose real name is Zhao Gang, is a childhood friend of Qin Feng. His parents and Qin Feng's parents are colleagues, and the two families have a very good relationship, pure old friendship.
Zhao Gang is a computer genius. He gave up a degree from a well-known domestic college to study here with Qin Feng. Influenced by Qin Feng, he also fell in love with Qin history.
Just when they were in their freshman year of college, a piece of news shocked the whole world!
Due to the progress and development of science and technology, the relevant departments will carry out archaeological excavation and protection and repair of the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang after more than ten years of full preparation. It is conceivable that in a few years, this eighth wonder of the world that has been covered in dust for more than 2,000 years will unveil its mysterious veil and appear before the world. By then, all the speculations and legends about the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang will be confirmed one by one, and the truth will be revealed to the world.
Based on this news, Qin Feng and Zhao Gang collected all the literature and materials about the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. Led by Zhao Gang, they spent nearly two years designing a virtual archaeological intelligent AI game about the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.
In more than a year, this game has become popular in the entire archaeological community.
Because the Qin Mausoleum Archaeological Institute is the main department for the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum archaeological excavation, after research and decision by relevant departments, this game has become a compulsory course for the Qin Mausoleum Archaeological Institute to conduct virtual simulations of Qin Mausoleum archaeological excavations.
"report!"
"report!"
Two abrupt reports came from the small teaching building of the college. The old professor of the college who was speaking eloquently on the podium was about to give a wonderful speech when he was interrupted by these two voices. He was so angry that his beard blew up:
"Come in!"
The two men pushed the door open and walked in. None of the thirty or so students in the classroom looked strange, because they were already accustomed to such scenes.
"What have you been doing?"
Hearing the old professor's cold question, Zhao Gang raised his neck and answered loudly:
"Report, we are cracking the crossbow!"
"Oh! What's the result?"
"He was shot to death! Qin Feng set a record today, being shot to death 136 times in a row!"
The old professor was furious when he heard this:
"Get out of here and stand in the back to listen to the class! Look at how cowardly you two are. You've been trying to crack a crossbow for half a year but still haven't succeeded. You're such losers!"
"Oh!"
The two of them agreed and walked to the back. Zhao Gang muttered as he walked:
"Tsk! Haven't you been trapped in the chain of flip boards for nearly three months? And you still have the nerve to criticize us!"
The voice was not loud. Although the old professor was nearly 70 years old, he had sharp ears and eyes, so he heard it clearly and glared at her:
"What did you say, little brat?"
"Oh, nothing! The teacher is mighty and wise! ... "
