9: Lin Fei's plan

Lin Fei figured it out. He didn't care; he would just treat this place as a game. Anyway, he would return to Earth sooner or later.

Lin Fei continued, "Oh, and there's also someone named Zhao Gao. He's an eunuch and one of the key figures who led to the downfall of the Great Qin Empire."

Emperor Qin recalled, "There isn't an eunuch named Zhao Gao here."

Lin Fei thought for a moment, "Hmm, maybe he's not called Zhao Gao now. Perhaps he's called Gao Yao!"

Wang Jian said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will send people to investigate immediately and see if there is anyone among the eunuchs whose name is related to the character 'Gao'."

After resolving the internal rebellion issue, Lin Fei continued to offer advice. He became more and more energetic as he spoke, feeling like he was playing a Three Kingdoms strategy game.

"Your Majesty, also, we must make the worst-case scenario plan: how to preserve the Empire if we fail the Heavenly Dao's test!"

Emperor Qin became interested, "Oh, tell me, what methods do you have?"

Lin Fei was full of confidence, "Build the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor!"

Wang Jian and all the officials were furious, "Audacious madman! Shut up! Your Majesty will live for ten thousand generations; there is no need for a mausoleum!"

Emperor Qin waved his hand, "Let him continue."

Lin Fei: "Ten thousand meters underground, build the most solid underground palace, lay out various Formations, mechanisms, mercury rivers, and also place a million terracotta army for protection! By then, even if the Empire falls, the Mausoleum will still be there! We will have a chance to rise again!"

"terracotta army? What is that!"

"You, you are truly a prophet!" Master Craftsman Ban's eyes nearly popped out. "Your Majesty, your subordinate has recently been researching and building a type of combat Puppet similar to an Immortal Master, whose Realm can reach the Golden Core Stage. I was about to name them 'terracotta army'. I never expected that this young man—no, now I should address you as the chief of the heaven monitoring department—already knew about it. Your subordinate is truly impressed!"

Emperor Qin's gaze was like a torch, and he said in a deep voice, "Li Bing!"

Li Bing responded, kneeling, his back straight, "Your subordinate is here!"

"I order you, starting today, to begin building the underground Mausoleum. You and Lin Fei will discuss the specific structure and design."

Li Bing turned, bowed, and with a hint of politeness in his eyes, said, "Chief Lin, if you are free later, could you come to my residence to discuss this in detail with me?"

Lin Fei quickly nodded, "No problem!"

Emperor Qin continued to press, "Besides the Mausoleum, what other measures are there?"

Countless images flashed through Lin Fei's mind like lightning, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Oh right, there's also building the Great Wall!"

"What is that?" Emperor Qin frowned deeply.

"In my world, the Great Wall is a magnificent fortification against foreign enemies. In this cultivation world, it can also play a huge role! When the fire of annihilation descends, the Great Wall can form a sky-high barrier to resist fires, floods, mudslides, and so on. Even if it can't stop them, it can buy time for the world!"

Lin Fei waved his arms, his tone impassioned.

Emperor Qin waved his hand, "Such a grand project still needs Li Bing."

Li Bing showed a troubled expression, "Your Majesty, this kind of project not only requires an enormous amount of manpower and resources but also needs Formation Masters to set up a protective Grand Formation and Artifact Refiners to forge special building materials to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Lu Chen, seeing this, couldn't help but glance at the unconscious Lin Fei. "Little brother, you're pretty good. You finally brought up something interesting, but it has no substantial effect. At most, it will delay me for a few seconds. When the time comes, I can just kick down the Great Wall."

Lin Fei became more and more excited, "Also, your Heavenly Dao Alliance's strategy of prohibiting Ascension is wrong! This is like boiling a frog in warm water, leading to self-destruction sooner or later. We should encourage Cultivation, abolish the nine-year compulsory profound arts, and encourage diverse, free development."

"Nonsense!" Wang Jian took a sudden step forward, his profound armor clanking. "If Ascension causes a catastrophe, who will take responsibility!"

Lin Fei was unhurried and said with confidence, "First, let's not talk about how difficult Ascension is to achieve. Even if someone really is about to Ascend, there's no need to worry.

Don't you have the loyalty to qin seal? In the loyalty to qin seal, add a thought imprint. As long as the Ascension Realm reaches 900 Heaven Rank, at the moment of impending Ascension, directly lock their Cultivation progress.

This way, when the time is ripe, perhaps the entire Great Qin Empire could have tens of thousands of Ascenders. At that time, if they Ascend simultaneously, one or two might meet the screening criteria and complete the test! Even if they can't pass the test, at worst, let these tens of thousands of Ascenders perish with the Heavenly Dao! That can also save the Great Qin Empire!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall was shocked.

Emperor Qin stroked the jade pendant at his waist, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.

Wang Jian pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "There is a certain risk. Although the ling shu core can monitor, it may not be able to seal off so many Ascenders. However, it can be attempted. If it truly cannot be sealed, my Heavens Punishment Legion can physically seal them and capture them!"

Emperor Qin nodded slightly, "Then that's what we'll do. Lin Fei, do you have any other suggestions?"

"Of course!" Lin Fei said proudly, "Although the weapons of the Tiangong Pavilion are powerful, their thinking is too outdated. They are still just bows, crossbows, and trebuchets. These are useless. In my world, there are rocket launchers that can fire thousands of rockets in a single volley, covering a battlefield of a hundred li in radius;

There are also nuclear bombs, a single one of which can release energy comparable to the full strike of a million Cultivators, instantly turning an entire city into scorched earth."

Lin Fei became more and more excited as he spoke, "There are also 'Rods of God,' kinetic weapons launched from geostationary satellites that generate terrifying power through friction with the atmosphere, capable of easily destroying a city; as well as space orbital laser cannons, electromagnetic pulses, and so on."

Master Craftsman Ban's beard trembled with excitement, and the bamboo slips in his hand rustled:

"Quick! Tell me about the structure of these weapons!"

Lin Fei knew he had exaggerated, but he couldn't say he knew nothing, or he would lose his usefulness. Fortunately, he had once played a space warfare game called EVE, which actually had detailed blueprints for various weapons. Although he couldn't remember them all, he had a rough impression. At worst, he would just draw a bunch of random things and blame Master Craftsman Ban if they couldn't be built.

"Ahem!" Lin Fei gave a tactical cough, "The blueprints are too complex; I can't remember them clearly. I'll tell you more when I have time."

Master Craftsman Ban wished he could sleep next to Lin Fei 24 hours a day, listening to him talk about the structure of Earth's weapons.

Emperor Qin was shocked, "These weapons truly subvert our understanding. From today onwards, the Tiangong Pavilion will be jointly overseen by you and Master Craftsman Ban! At all costs, create these divine weapons!"

Emperor Qin's eyes gleamed with fanaticism, "If this can be realized, how can my Great Qin Empire not flatten this Heavenly Dao!"
