Daqin: Robbing Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 45 Can I Be Vulcan?
"It is said that Fuxi had a snake-headed human body, and Emperor Shuntian had double pupils. So what?"

"Isn't this just the manifestation of people being deified?"

Ying Qi said calmly, "I admit that some people are born with visions and are born different. For example, our Qin Wu King can lift a tripod, and Gan Tingwei has a photographic memory, but what's the matter? Should all people be the same? ? Some people have genetic mutations, so what’s wrong with their appearance?”

"Our family, Lu Fengxian, whipped the city wall with his big mouth and made a few cracks in the city wall of Xianyang. Is this normal?"

When Lu Bu heard Ying Qi's mention, he straightened his chest unconsciously, and his gaze was overwhelming.

Li Si sneered, "This is contrary to what you said earlier."

"This is not contradictory. Is innate supernatural power or innate intelligence the performance of a god?" Ying Qi sneered, "This is just what our human society thinks. Have you ever heard of Vulcan Zhurong?"

"Zhu Rong, the ancient god and man, who used fire to transform, the god of light. He can make real fire burn the world." Gan Luo explained in a low voice.

Ying Qi nodded, "That's right, but why is Zhu Rong a god?"

The crowd was silent.

They really haven't thought about it.

Because this is what is recorded in the Shan Hai Jing, and various ancient books also directly classify Zhu Rong and others as gods, and they have never doubted it at all.

"This is an ancient record. Do you want to question the ancient book?" Feng Quji said disdainfully, "It's good to have a desire for knowledge, but you are somewhat unfounded."

"Is it true that what is recorded in ancient books must be true?" Ying Qi asked back, "And, have you really seen the power of God?"

"Why Zhu Rong is highly credible as a god, because it says so in the book. It is also said in the Shan Hai Jing that Zhu Rong summoned real fire with both hands, burned Yao to death, and took back Xiyang. Is it difficult to summon flames with both hands?" Why, why is the Book of Mountains and Seas a book that records strange spirits and gods, rather than a book that records a group of people who brought the laws of nature to the extreme?"

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, Ying Qi's words really opened his eyes.

To be honest, based on Ying Qi's performance this time, if Ying Qi was not the prince, he might have directly appointed Ying Qi as a bachelor.

Li Si also frowned. He felt that Ying Qi's thoughts were really wide-ranging, and he was not limited to books at all.

In fact, this was also his advantage before, because he was a student of Confucianism, a disciple of Xunzi, and a representative of Legalism. One membership is limited.

After thinking about it, he agrees with Ying Qi's words, but the problem is that he can't show it now.

"My lord, you said that summoning flames with both hands is not difficult?" Li Si rolled his eyes and caught a loophole in Ying Qi.

"Yeah, why, do you want to see it?" Ying Qi said with a smile, it seemed that the preparation was not in vain.

"I'd like to take a look."

Ying Qi smiled lightly, this is not a problem at all.

He rolled up his sleeves and waved his arms, "Fire!"

Two flames instantly burned in his palms, Ying Zheng, Li Si and the officials all stared wide-eyed.

"Blue flame?"

Xu Fu looked at Ying Qi, then at the shocked crowd, and silently lowered his head.

Ying Qi sneered, what does it mean to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well and travel all over the world.

Isn't that what it is?
Just a simple phosphorous fire,

Look at this group of people who have never seen the world!
Li Si coughed twice, "Ahem, Zhu Rong is really hot."

"Have you ever seen real fire? Or do you want to try this flame?"

Li Si fell silent, as if there really wasn't one.

Seeing everyone slowly recovering, Ying Qi extinguished the phosphorous fire in his hands, "Are you convinced?"

Li Si said lightly, "In fact, Xu Fu can do it too. We've seen it all. Can you show some other, higher-standard ones?"

Xu Fu glanced at Li Si, and met Li Si's indifferent gaze, so he silently closed his mouth.

"Honestly, I'm afraid to scare you."

"It's okay."

Ying Qi took out a black ball wrapped in an iron sheet, which contained sulfur, saltpeter and carbon in a certain proportion.

I will not disclose the specific ratio, it is easy to be harmonized.

"Then please invite everyone outside, the space inside the hall is too small to display it."

Li Si glanced at Ying Zheng, then slowly got up, he wanted to see what kind of moth Ying Qi could make.

Now he doesn't care what his purpose was at the beginning, he just wants not to be refuted by this kid.

Outside the hall, standing on the steps, Ying Qi was holding a small black ball, but he was actually a little apprehensive.

Although this thing has gone through many experiments, the explosion rate is still only 60.00%, and it is very affected by the weather.

Because with the current steel smelting technology, it is impossible to make steel with stronger airtightness. That is to say, if the wind is stronger or the humidity is higher, the mine will not explode.

As everyone came to the steps one after another, Ying Qi walked down slowly, stood beside the torch, holding the ball high.

Under the gaze of everyone, Ying Qi slowly lit the fuse and threw it out.

"Lei Gong help me!"

Everyone frowned and stared at the black ball closely, but found that it hadn't moved, so they couldn't help but look at Ying Qi.

Ying Qi also looked a little embarrassed, is the lead wire long?

I can't.

Ying Qi was a little embarrassed holding his hands high, but just as he was about to put them down, the black ball underneath exploded!
A soaring sound echoed in everyone's ears, and the surrounding soldiers were so frightened that they couldn't stand upright.

The black smoke dissipated, leaving a black hole in the ground.

Li Si stared blankly at the ground, lost in thought.

He doesn't understand, what's going on?
Ying Qi heaved a sigh of relief, and then slowly returned to the crowd.

"How about it?"

"Young master. Heaven and man!"

A group of veteran officials looked at Ying Qi with a look of shock that could not be concealed.

Although Gan Luo couldn't hide his shock when he saw this, he soon showed excitement.

"With this method, even if I say that I am Vulcan, Zhu Rong can't push the coffin board to refute it?"

The officials were silent, and Ying Zheng asked after taking a deep breath, "Ziqi, how did you do it?"

"Because I have seen the essence of everything in the world since I was a child, whether it is gods, people, or phenomena that are difficult to get acquainted with."

"What is it?" All the ministers looked sideways at Ying Qi.

"Science." Ying Qi vowed, "All of this is all because of science! I can start a fire or create an explosion, as long as I understand the laws of everything in the world and understand everything, I am a god!"

"If you want to have a deeper understanding of science, then buy genuine books printed and distributed by Zhenggangou, including physics, chemistry, biology, Chinese, and mathematics."
