114: Chapter 114 Terracotta Warriors, General Meng Tian
After listening to Murong Aotian's analysis, Jiang Chen felt it made no sense at all.
As pirates, they should at least have some basic professional ethics.
How could they possibly get off work at five o'clock?
Being a pirate is equivalent to starting a business.
It's a get-rich-quick scheme!
How could they clock in and out on time like corporate slaves?
That is definitely not the reason.
Jiang Chen looked at Yunhai Mary.
"Mary, what do you think?"
Yunhai Mary used her beautiful brain to think for a moment, then replied.
"Reporting to Master, pirates also need rest and entertainment, unlike us."
"So I guess they are also scrolling through TikTok right now..."
Jiang Chen nodded approvingly.
He said.
"Hmm, both of your analyses are very good."
"Don't analyze next time."
Jiang Chen felt that both mechas were talking nonsense.
What 857, TikTok...
What decent person scrolls through TikTok for no reason!
"There must be some other unknown reason."
Jiang Chen rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.
Around ten o'clock at night.
Jiang Chen had been wandering around the waters of Somalia for more than four hours.
He had even encountered several cargo ships nearby.
But there wasn't a single pirate to be found.
While passing by a small cargo ship, Jiang Chen shouted to the guy on the deck: "Brother, didn't I hear there are pirates around here?"
That guy was watching beauties dance to 857. He turned his head to look at Jiang Chen's small fishing boat, which had a somewhat peculiar shape, and said: "There are, be careful."
"Then why aren't you nervous, still watching beauties dance?" Jiang Chen asked.
The guy pointed to the supplies not far away on the deck and said: "It's fine, our cargo ship boss is rich. If we encounter pirates, we just give them what they want. It's no big deal; besides, the insurance company will cover the claims..."
"..."
Jiang Chen drove the small fishing boat away.
This sea area is truly full of talented people.
He shook his head, seeing that the small fishing boat was almost at the coast of Somalia.
The small fishing boat, Pan Zhoudan, turned around and began to head south.
Around twelve o'clock at midnight.
The bright moonlight descended from the sky, falling on the deck and the sea, shimmering with waves.
"The moon abroad isn't that round either; it's also incomplete."
Jiang Chen sat on the deck, feeling that the second half of the night might be a bit cold, and was preparing to return to the cabin to sleep.
Just at this moment.
A sudden voice from the system called him back.
[Congratulations to the host for catching a big haul, please retrieve the net in time!]
Jiang Chen let out a long sigh.
"Murong Aotian, retrieve the net!"
Murong Aotian received the order and pulled the fishing net up forcefully.
Splash!
A huge wave of water rushed towards him, soaking the entire deck!
At the same time.
A burly figure followed the fishing net and landed on the deck with a boom.
The deck strained under the weight, causing the small fishing boat to sink a little.
However, this burly figure did not fall down but stood tall and straight.
"Damn, what is that?"
Jiang Chen was startled.
Judging by the appearance, this was clearly a person.
But this person was motionless, just standing there.
Jiang Chen leaned in to take a look.
Only then did he realize with shock.
This damn thing was actually a Terracotta Warriors!
I saw that the Terracotta Warriors was wearing Qin Dynasty armor on its head, covered in heavy armor that seemed to weigh tons, holding a rusted ancient sword in its hand. The facial features were vivid, but everything was made of clay. Seawater flowed down its face, but the clay did not wash away.
Jiang Chen stretched out his fist and threw a punch.
This punch had considerable force; normal steel would at least buckle.
Not to mention that this Terracotta Warriors looked like it was made of clay.
It should at least dent a little to show some respect, right?
However.
It did not have any dents...
Instead, the eyelids made of clay suddenly opened, and countless seal script characters flashed in its eyes, like code, as if it were booting up.
Jiang Chen quickly stepped back, looking at this thing with suspicion and uncertainty.
And at this moment.
The Terracotta Warriors also spoke.
The voice was ancient, as if it had been sealed for a long time.
"What year is it now?!"
What year is it?
Jiang Chen frowned and replied: "2022 AD!"
"Has it been two thousand years?"
"Where is my Great Qin!"
The Terracotta Warriors stretched its limbs, producing a clicking mechanical sound.
With its movements, not only were its eyes emitting countless seal script characters.
The armor on its chest.
And on the long sword.
Familiar yet strange seal script characters emerged on them.
"Great Qin has fallen."
Jiang Chen told him that Great Qin fell in 207 BC.
Now it is the 2022 Dragon Country!
The current Dragon Country, although completely different from Great Qin in many aspects, is still influenced by Great Qin in terms of standardizing writing, standardizing axle lengths, and the unification of the world.
"Great Qin has not fallen; it is just hidden in the long river of time."
The Terracotta Warriors whispered softly.
Jiang Chen didn't quite understand what he meant by this, but still asked: "May I ask who you are?"
"I am General Meng Tian."
"By the grace of His Majesty, although my body has rotted, my memories remain within this clay figure."
The Terracotta Warriors said.
General Meng Tian?
Jiang Chen immediately remembered.
During the Qin Dynasty, there was indeed a famous general who left his name in history, named General Meng Tian.
His martial arts were enough to hold off a thousand men.
The only thing Jiang Chen couldn't understand was, didn't General Meng Tian die?
Why could he still be alive to this day in the form of a Terracotta Warriors?
No.
Is this General Meng Tian really alive, or is he already dead?
Just when Jiang Chen was suspicious and uncertain.
The system poured some information into his mind.
[No. 1 Terracotta Warriors, codenamed General Meng Tian, through the Terracotta Warriors production technology of the Immortal Qin master craftsmen, his brain retains the memories of the Qin Dynasty's General Meng Tian. Not only are 99% of the memories preserved, but the body is also exactly the same as the original.]
[Combat power is fierce, comparable to an S-sequence supernatural biological entity.]
Immortal Qin master craftsmen?
Terracotta Warriors production technology?
Jiang Chen's brain was buzzing.
According to the system, the General Meng Tian Terracotta Warriors in front of him is actually a mecha.
But!
Did the Qin Dynasty have such high-tech mechas back then?
Being able to accept a supernatural biological entity.
Even Jiang Chen, who had seen kangaroos evolve to breathe underwater.
At this moment, his brain was shocked once again.
For a long time, modern people have been known for thinking that the ancients were backward and ignorant.
But now, looking at this Terracotta Warriors that has endured for two thousand years without collapsing, and the ability to replicate 99% of the original owner's memory, Jiang Chen just wanted to shout, Great Qin is awesome!
Just at this moment.
Some information about the Immortal Qin Terracotta Warriors production technology also flooded into Jiang Chen's brain.
Although this information was in seal script, Jiang Chen digested it quickly.
"Immortal Iron Master Craftsmen, Terracotta Warriors Production Outline, Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Engineering, Ingenious Craftsmanship, Creation of Heaven and Earth, The Power of Heaven and Earth for Levitation Boats..."
A full nineteen disciplines from ancient times shocked Jiang Chen once again.
"It's completely different from modern science!"
Jiang Chen compared the ancient academic knowledge he had obtained in his mind with modern knowledge, as if he had opened up a whole new world.
In the entire knowledge system created by the Pre-Qin era, levitation boats are not propelled by artificial power but rely on the power of heaven and earth.
And this power of heaven and earth, in modern terms, is actually the Earth's magnetic field.
But!
Current technological standards cannot yet utilize the Earth's magnetic field.
Therefore, the non-powered levitation boats described in ancient times became superstition and nothingness.
