Chapter 4: Making Chinese civilization stand at the pinnacle of the world!
Chapter 4: Making Chinese civilization stand at the pinnacle of the world!
Just as Zhang Fan finished speaking!
In the conference room of the Beijing Municipal State Security Bureau, a flash of white light appeared on the table in front of Zhu Feng!
"Bang!"
A muffled thud.
A heavy bronze wine cup appeared on the table!
In the conference room, everyone held their breath!
Time seemed to stand still.
A few seconds later.
"sky!"
A white-haired historian was the first to react; he put on white gloves and rushed over.
He picked up a magnifying glass, carefully held up the wine cup, and examined the patterns and rust on it closely.
His lips were trembling, and his eyes were red.
"It's true!"
"These taotie patterns, these traces of the casting method... this is definitely something used by the Qin Dynasty's royalty and nobility!"
"A first-class national treasure! No! This is a living national treasure!"
The historian was so excited he almost couldn't stand up straight.
Zhu Feng's body was also trembling.
Really!
It really can teleport things!
Although the power went out, it meant they could still send modern equipment there!
We can also bring over things from the Qin Dynasty!
This is a cross-temporal and cross-space exchange of matter!
Zhu Feng suddenly picked up the phone, his voice filled with excitement:
"Comrade Zhang Fan! We received it! We received the wine!"
Stop randomly clicking send and receive buttons! Battery level is likely the key to successful data transfer!
Protect yourself! Protect your phone!
"Remember, behind you stands the entire nation!!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan felt a surge of heat rush to his head, and his eyes instantly reddened.
He is no longer alone; he is now a bridge connecting two eras!
He gripped his phone tightly, his voice trembling with excitement, yet unwavering:
"Rest assured, sir! I will definitely complete the mission!"
"For the country! For the nation!"
As Zhu Feng listened to the young and energetic voice on the phone, he was filled with emotion.
He took a deep breath, his tone becoming extremely solemn:
"Good comrade! The country will not forget you!"
"Remember, in case of any emergency, contact us immediately using this number! Use your battery wisely!"
After leaving an internal hotline number, Zhu Feng promptly hung up the phone.
He suddenly stood up, his face more serious than ever before.
"Immediately activate the highest level of emergency response plan!"
"All relevant personnel must sign the highest level of confidentiality agreement!"
"quick!"
The entire National Security Bureau instantly sprang into action at high speed.
Zhu Feng did not linger for a moment.
He personally filled the bronze wine vessel with a specially made constant temperature and humidity chamber, and then strode out of the conference room.
A Hongqi sedan with a special license plate was already waiting downstairs.
"Go to the central command!" Zhu Feng said succinctly.
The car sped off towards the heart of Beijing without honking its horn.
……
Late that night.
Zhu Feng returned to the brightly lit conference room of the State Security Bureau.
He was travel-worn, but his face showed an undisguised excitement and exhilaration.
The conference room was already filled with top figures from various fields.
Historians, physicists, agricultural experts, military strategists...
Everyone looked solemn, awaiting the final instructions.
Zhu Feng walked to the head of the table and placed a document stamped with the highest-level confidentiality red seal on the table.
"Comrades!"
He surveyed the entire room, his voice loud and powerful.
"With the approval of the highest level, the following decision is hereby announced!"
"First, classify the time-space communication incident—namely, the conversation between Zhang Fan and the First Emperor—as a top-level state secret!"
"Anyone who dares to leak even a single word of this information will be prosecuted for treason!"
The entire audience fell silent!
"Second, restart round 749!"
"Integrate all relevant resources and establish a special task force!"
"There is no upper limit to funding, and all departments must cooperate unconditionally!"
749 innings!
Upon hearing this long-forgotten name, some of the elderly people present had their pupils shrink sharply.
That's the organization responsible for handling all supernatural events!
It's restarted again!
"third!"
Zhu Feng's gaze sharpened considerably. "This operation is codenamed—Yanhuang!"
"We have only one goal!"
Zhu Feng slammed his hand on the table.
"Using all the knowledge and resources we possess, we will do everything in our power to help Zhang Fan support Ying Zheng and build the Qin Empire into an unprecedented, eternal dynasty!"
"Let Chinese civilization stand at the pinnacle of the world!"
"only!"
Someone instinctively responded with a traditional greeting, instantly igniting the passion of the entire audience.
Just then, a researcher rushed in and handed over a report.
"Mr. Zhu! The test results are in!"
"We captured the entire process of that bronze wine vessel being transported using our highest-speed camera!"
"Its appearance is not spatial displacement in the conventional sense, but rather... a spontaneous reorganization of particles!"
"What do you mean?" Zhu Feng frowned.
"Simply put, it's formed by the instantaneous condensation and combination of the most basic particles in the air of our conference room!"
"This...this is completely supernatural, violating all the known laws of physics!"
After the report was finished, the meeting room fell into a deathly silence. Everyone stared in disbelief.
Creating something out of thin air?
This is simply divine intervention!
Zhu Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and turned his gaze back to the silent audio line.
Now, everything is ready.
We're just waiting for news from Zhang Fan.
Has Zhao Gao been caught?
……
Xianyang Palace, study.
The candlelight flickered, casting Ying Zheng's shadow on the wall.
Zhao Gao was pinned to the ground by two fierce soldiers from the Black Ice Guard. He looked up, his face filled with terror, at Ying Zheng on the throne.
Zhang Fan huddled in the corner, not daring to breathe.
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive!
"Zhao Gao!" Ying Zheng spoke, his voice icy and chilling.
"Your Majesty, I am here!" Zhao Gao kowtowed, his mind racing as he frantically tried to figure out where he had gone wrong.
Ying Zheng sneered, "I have treated you well, so why do you harbor rebellious thoughts?"
boom!
Zhao Gao's mind went blank, and his heart was shaken!
Disloyal intentions?
He had indeed had this thought, and more than once!
Especially when he saw His Majesty increasingly favoring Huhai and becoming more and more dissatisfied with the eldest son Fusu!
But this was his deepest secret, and he had never uttered a single word about it to anyone!
Your Majesty... how did you know?
Does His Majesty truly possess the ability to see into people's hearts?
Overwhelmed by fear, Zhao Gao kowtowed frantically, tears streaming down his face, crying, "Injustice! Your Majesty! A terrible injustice!"
"Your Majesty, my loyalty to the Great Qin and to Your Majesty is as clear as day! Who is framing me?"
"Your Majesty, please investigate this thoroughly and clear my name!"
Ying Zheng watched his superb performance, his eyes filled with nothing but disgust, and he slammed his fist on the dragon table!
"That's enough!"
"Still putting on an act? I say you have it, so you do!"
"Guards! Drag him out and execute him!"
"promise!"
Two fierce soldiers from the Black Ice Guard immediately grabbed Zhao Gao and tried to drag him out.
Zhao Gao panicked completely, and his pleas for mercy were useless.
He immediately shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Your Majesty! What crime have I committed? You cannot kill me!"
"How will history record your unjust execution of ministers? How will the people view you? Do you truly intend to become a tyrant?!"
The word "tyrant" struck Ying Zheng's most sensitive nerve like a steel needle.
He suddenly stood up, and his suppressed anger finally erupted!
"presumptuous!"
"Tyrant? I rule the world! I am the law! I am the heavens!"
"Why can't I kill a treacherous servant?"
Just as Ying Zheng was enraged and about to draw his sword...
Hurried footsteps came from outside the study.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
Several senior officials rushed in upon hearing the news, with Prime Minister Wang Wan leading the way.
Behind them followed a historian holding bamboo slips and a carving knife.
"Although Zhao Gao has committed minor offenses, his crimes do not warrant death! We beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly!"
"Your Majesty has only recently unified the empire; you should use benevolent governance to appease the people and not resort to bloodshed!"
The historian kept his head down, his carving knife hovering over the bamboo slips, and remained silent.
The gesture seemed to say: as soon as Ying Zheng gives the order, he will immediately inscribe the words "The First Emperor is tyrannical and kills his ministers without cause".
Li Si lowered his head, not daring to utter a sound, but his heart was ice-cold.
Looking at these "loyal" ministers, Ying Zheng's murderous intent remained undiminished, but he calmed down amidst his rage.
Later generations said that he died after only two generations and that he was cruel.
Now he has the chance to change all of this, and he must not leave any room for criticism.
Killing Zhao Gao is as easy as turning one's hand!
But we must kill him so badly that he is utterly disgraced and that no one in the world can say a word against him!
"it is good."
Ying Zheng slowly sat down, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Since you all plead for him, I will give him a chance to prove his innocence."
"Take Zhao Gao to the Imperial Court prison! Keep him under strict guard!"
"Li Si!"
"Your subject is here!" Li Si immediately stepped forward.
"Take the Black Ice Guard and ransack Zhao Gao's house! Search every inch of his land! I want to see just how many things he's been hiding from me!"
"Yes, sir!" Li Si accepted the order, his heart trembling violently.
Copy the house!
This is even more ruthless than simply killing someone!
This is to dig up all the evidence against Zhao Gao, so that he can die knowing the truth and that the whole world will know about his death!
When Zhao Gao was dragged away, his face was ashen, and the commotion temporarily subsided.
Zhang Fan breathed a long sigh of relief. What he had just witnessed was even more thrilling than watching a Hollywood blockbuster.
He instinctively took out his phone to check the time.
Sudden.
hum! !
My phone suddenly vibrated violently, and a golden system message popped up on the screen.
【Ding! 】
[A key historical event has been altered: Zhao Gao was imprisoned ahead of schedule, shaking the very foundation of the "Sand Dune Incident."]
[Reward: Battery +30%!]
Zhang Fan stared wide-eyed at the battery display in the upper right corner of his phone.
The number, which had just dropped to 80%, fluctuated rapidly before finally settling steadily at...
110%
Holy crap?
The phone battery... can still exceed 100%?
