502: Chapter 502: Ghost Wall
Second, what exactly does "turning earth into soldiers" mean? There is still no answer. He originally guessed that the Terracotta Warriors must hide some secrets, but after testing, no discoveries were made.
Dai Zheng's question reminded him that the Terracotta Warriors without weapons might not be what he was looking for.
So he immediately went to the Qin Emperors Mausoleum.
He guessed that real Terracotta Warriors must be buried inside, but in fact, there were none.
This left him very confused.
If it doesn't refer to the Terracotta Warriors, then what is the true meaning of "turning earth into soldiers"?
Third, Qin Emperor's mausoleum is too simple. Besides two kneeling pottery figurines, there is nothing else. Did hundreds of thousands of laborers work for 39 years just to build nothing? This is unreasonable. Moreover, the material of the coffin is very different from historical records, which is also very strange.
Logically, as the Grand Historian of the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian should have had access to all the historical documents of the Great Qin Empire. The Qin Emperors Mausoleum was also a very massive project, involving many departments. The records of each department should corroborate each other and be very easy to verify, so there shouldn't be any major omissions.
Unless Sima Qian deliberately fabricated or slandered, it should have been extremely detailed.
So why do the investigation results not match historical records?
Where is the problem?
Fourth, why would Old Qin know the words "Those who trespass the imperial mausoleum shall die"?
He was very sure that the Qin Emperors Mausoleum had never been opened. Unless Old Qin, or relevant departments in Hua Xia, also have such investigative technology that allows them to know what is below without excavation.
But that should be impossible.
If Hua Xia had such technology, it would be impossible for a Mosang Ark Base to remain unconquered for two years.
So if there was no prior investigation, how did Old Qin know?
It certainly couldn't have been a guess.
Fifth, are the jade slips and the Huo Xian Sect mentioned by Old Qin real or fake?
Although Old Qin fabricated many stories, it always felt like he was mixing some fake elements into the truth, rather than completely making things up.
After all, the Maya High Priest also said that the Hua Xia Civilization at that time was indeed secretly attacked and almost went extinct like other civilizations.
The existence of the Huo Xian Sect is indeed very consistent with this statement.
It seems that Old Qin must know more, but is unwilling to tell him.
"Forget it, I won't bother my brain with this."
After thinking for a long time without understanding, Oriental Chen decided to stop thinking.
Since it has now been confirmed that Mordo is a puppet civilization, all he needs to do next is to be careful of them.
He couldn't figure out "turning earth into soldiers," but he had something better.
These simulated robots are definitely much stronger than those Terracotta Warriors.
Next is to strengthen weapon construction and improve defensive capabilities. Only strong military power is the greatest reliance against risks.
"Commander, something seems wrong!" Dai Zheng suddenly said with a grim expression.
"Get to the point, don't be so startled." Oriental Chen was pulled back to reality by his shout.
"It seems we've encountered a ghost wall!" Dai Zheng replied.
"Have you been watching too many ghost stories? How can such a thing exist in real society?" Oriental Chen didn't believe him at all.
He was a firm atheist.
"It's true! We clearly flew over here once already." Dai Zheng said, pointing at the navigation on the screen.
"You must have remembered wrong! Don't be nervous, relax!" Oriental Chen patted his shoulder.
"Absolutely not! When I mentioned Peacock River just now, we had clearly already reached here. But now 20 minutes have passed, and we're back here again."
"How long have we been traveling?" Oriental Chen took it seriously when he heard Dai Zheng say that.
"72 minutes." Dai Zheng replied.
The straight-line distance from Chang'an City to Batuo City is 1500 kilometers. At the current cruising speed, the battleship should have already entered the Ulan Neutral Zone.
But now it hasn't even flown out of Qin Chuan Province!
"Something is indeed wrong!" Oriental Chen frowned.
"Keep a close eye on the navigation and see what the problem is!" Oriental Chen commanded.
"Yes!" Dai Zheng accepted the order.
Oriental Chen went to another screen and opened the travel log.
It reported an error!
"Xiao Lin, check the battleship and see why the travel log is reporting an error." Oriental Chen commanded.
"Understood, Commander."
"Commander, the navigation log error due to time frame error has been fixed." Xiao Lin quickly returned the result.
He opened the travel log again, and it showed a very strange zigzag path.
The map showed that the battleship had been repeatedly going back and forth in the northern Qin Chuan region several times.
"What's going on?" Oriental Chen was stunned.
"Commander, look!" Dai Zheng shouted, pointing at the screen.
"What's wrong?" Oriental Chen walked over.
"Our battleship suddenly jumped from here to here." Dai Zheng pointed on the map.
