505: Chapter 505 A Spaceship

“Old Qin, it’s already this late, aren’t you going to tell me some useful information?” Oriental Chen said with a wry 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?” Oriental Chen asked, feeling frustrated.

“Do you think I didn’t want to? Did I tell you any less yesterday? Did you believe it?” Old Qin retorted.

“…” Oriental Chen was speechless.

Fairly speaking, if Old Qin had told him yesterday that he had accidentally entered a folded space while exploring the Qin Emperors Mausoleum, he most likely would not have believed it.

“I ask you, is there still something left in the Qin Emperors Mausoleum that you haven’t brought out?” Old Qin asked.

“This…” Oriental Chen felt a bit awkward.

“Tell the truth!” Old Qin said.

“Yes,” Oriental Chen replied helplessly.

“You, you, I told you to retrieve everything, but you just wouldn’t listen,” Old Qin also felt very helpless.

“You mean to say that the reason we entered the folded space is related to leaving things in the Qin Emperors Mausoleum?” Oriental Chen understood.

“Exactly!” Old Qin replied.

“How is that possible? Does the Qin Emperors Mausoleum have the ability to fold space?” Oriental Chen found it hard to believe.

“That’s not it. Actually, there are other things in the Qin Emperors Mausoleum,” Old Qin replied.

“Other things? What things?” Oriental Chen asked.

“A spaceship,” Old Qin replied.

“A spaceship?” Oriental Chen was shocked.

“Yes. Were you also teleported deep into Li Mountain?” Old Qin asked.

“Exactly,” Oriental Chen replied.

“Alright, listen to me. Dig 3 meters vertically down from where you appeared. Do as I say, and everything will be clear,” Old Qin said.

“Okay!” Oriental Chen nodded.

After hanging up the phone, he dispatched a robot to clear the snow directly beneath the battleship.

Then, he deployed a Bee Queen.

It was safer to scout first before digging.

Since the detection area was very small, the results came quickly.

Indeed, a box was buried three meters deep in the soil directly beneath the battleship.

Oriental Chen ordered the robot to excavate downwards, and it didn't take long to dig out the box.

It was a square aluminum box, looking like it was meant to hold some special instrument.

Moreover, this type of box was very popular twenty or thirty years ago.

Oriental Chen opened the box, and what greeted his eyes was a bundle of jade slips woven with gold thread.

His heart skipped a beat.

Old Qin hadn't lied to him; the jade slips truly existed, but their location wasn't quite right.

Oriental Chen tremblingly opened the jade slips; the content was carved in small seal script.

“Since I ascended the throne, I have risen early and retired late, attending to governance day and night…”

It seemed this should be Qin Emperor’s self-narration.

To be honest, this classical Chinese written in small seal script was really awkward to read and difficult to understand. Oriental Chen could only have Xiao Lin translate it.

From the translation results, some of the content in the jade slips was similar to what Old Qin had said.

Before Qin Emperor unified the six states, there had already been major problems within the Qin state.

Years of famine and reduced land yields meant many common people starved to death every day.

Therefore, launching wars outwards had become a reluctant choice at that time.

To have food, they could only seize it.

At the same time, a sect called the Huo Xian Sect appeared among the populace.

With the famine coupled with the Huo Xian Sect's rampant destruction, many vassal states were actually already in turmoil. Some royal families had even been completely controlled by the Huo Xian Sect.

Originally, the Qin state did not have much of a chance, but one day, a meteorite fell from the sky, landing precisely deep within Li Mountain.

The Qin Emperors Mausoleum, located north of Li Mountain, was under construction, and a bright light streaked across the night sky; many people saw it.

A team of Soldiers went to investigate, and as a result, they were affected by the radiation, becoming incredibly strong.

Qin Emperor thought this was a gift from Heaven, so he took the opportunity to form a powerful army. The commander of this army was General Wang Jian.

Thus, in the following years, General Wang Jian, as if blessed, led this army, conquering every battle and sweeping across the land. Besides the Han state, which had already fallen, the other five states were all destroyed by him.

After the world was pacified, this meteorite became the greatest threat to the Great Qin Empire.

After all, anyone could rely on it to form a powerful army, which was simply too dangerous.

At this time, General Wang Jian’s army also encountered problems.

Large numbers of blood patterns began to appear on their bodies, which were extremely terrifying.

At this point, Qin Emperor realized that this meteorite might not be a gift from Heaven, but rather a curse from a demon.

Therefore, Qin Emperor ordered the conscription of laborers from the other six states to excavate Li Mountain, planning to bury this meteorite underground and hide it permanently.

It should be noted here that the excavation of Li Mountain and the construction of the Imperial Mausoleum were not carried out by the same group of people.

The two construction sites were very close to each other, and no one besides Prime Minister Li Si understood the full inside story.

But all of this was just an introduction; the content later in the jade slips was what Oriental Chen cared about most.
