My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Weapons such as explosives and incendiary bombs were originally prepared secretly in a mine in Yingchuan County.

The first successful explosion was extremely powerful.

After many experiments and mastering the process and technology of safe production, it was put aside.

It was not until Qin II ascended the throne that these weapons began to be officially and secretly put into production.

Well, gunpowder weapons were the trump card of Qin II, and also a scientific research project that Qin II had kept secret from the outside world.

This secret scientific research project was also an open secret within the Qin Empire.

Everyone knows it, but no one dares to say it openly.

Qin Ershi was such a person. Since he came into this world, the thing he was best at was pretending to be weak.

In the eyes of the country folk, pretending to be weak means being cowardly and cowardly.

But in the court, people called this strategy.

The purpose of pretending to be weak is not to prevent others from attacking you, but to allow yourself to kill everyone with one strike. This is the fundamental purpose.

If you want to ensure your ultimate victory on a stage where everyone has the potential to be the ultimate winner, you must have two sets of cards, one set of cards are the visible cards, and the other set is your own trump card.

The trump card will never be used until the last moment.

The cards on the surface are only used at critical moments.

The most capable politicians are often the ones who reveal their cards at an appropriate time, while the stupidest politicians always reveal their cards at every turn.

How to put it, the person who shows his cards first is always very majestic, extremely majestic, everyone is afraid of him, and he lives a very happy life.

But unfortunately, such people died while they were still powerful. Most of them did not live past the age of 40 in history.

Because once all his cards are revealed, there will be no reason for people to be afraid of him anymore, and his capital for arrogance will finally be used up.

At this time, the master only needs one trump card to kill the opponent.

Experts often have more than one trump card in their hands, just to prepare for a rainy day.

People who know how to pretend to be weak are not easily hit by others, and the most important thing is that they hold a trump card in their hand but never show it.

As the saying goes, a silent dog bites. The more cowardly, amiable, humble and submissive a person appears, the more lethal he or she can be.

On the contrary, we see those strong and powerful people disappear from history in a few jumps.

Everyone knew that Qin II was preparing secret military weapons, but what made everyone even more panicked was that Qin II never told anyone about his preparations.

Qin II was hanging a sword of Damocles over everyone's head.

The point of the Sword of Damocles is not that it is hanging over everyone's head, but that the person sitting on the throne never knows when the sword will fall.

Compared to death, the fear that death can bring to people is more terrifying than death.

Qin II was always like this, which made everyone dislike playing with him.

Because he's an old pervert.

The ministers and the Second Emperor of Qin sat together, and everyone was trying to show off their power and capabilities. If the Second Emperor of Qin did not show off, he would secretly kill you.

The main reason is that many people are not prudent enough and not ruthless enough. When they meet Qin II, they are like sheep walking into the tiger's mouth.

In life and in the court, people like Qin II are extremely terrifying.

Because he is good at disguising himself and makes himself look like an ordinary person.

But the vast majority of people in this world have this mentality.

I am the greatest in the world.

So when people like Qin Ershi interact with others, with his low-key personality and modest style, he likes to tell everyone about his shortcomings. When others interact with him, their first impression is always that this person is not as good as me!
After he had finished bragging about what he had done, Qin II showed off his own abilities.

At this time, the other party will be irritated, ashamed, jealous, and feel extremely uncomfortable.

When anger and jealousy cloud their minds, they become impulsive, and impulsiveness will lead them to actively offend others.

Exposing the last bit of one's pitiful side, he became the laughing stock of the world.

In fact, Qin II has never been a positive image.

He is just a politician who is pursuing power and intrigue. How can he be so upright?

No one can beat him, and he can beat everyone.

It is really not fair at all, but only this kind of person can become the final winner.

After these years of contact, the ministers also hated Qin II very much.

There were only a very small number of officials who admired Qin II.

The majority of people hate and detest Qin II.

There are also some people who do not comment on Qin II as a person. They listen to him and do things for him, but they neither approve of him nor slander him.

Qin II did the worst to people and saw through them.

When a person has a higher mountain to climb in his heart, he will not care about the mud under his feet.

The ministers all thought he was a filial son, but he ended up deceiving everyone.

His ministers all thought that his abilities limited himself, but it turned out that he had so many more hidden abilities that he had not revealed to anyone for even more than a decade.

The ministers only liked power, but when they sat with Qin II, he always held a sword and pressed it over everyone's head, making everyone afraid of him.

The Industrial Revolution is not something that humans can create.

Although we all lived in the backward pre-Qin ancient times, the brain is a good thing, and we can still see that the gap between Qin II and normal people is not a little bit.

There is no God in this world. God is just that kind of being who does things beautifully and is omnipotent.

When the gap between people is greater than the gap between people and dogs, some people will become gods in people's minds.

How do people in this world evaluate Qin Shi Huang, Qin Er Shi, and Li Si?

With the power of one person, one can accomplish what thousands of people cannot accomplish.

However, even so, the Qin State's technological development did not end amid everyone's amazement, but instead ushered in a new era.

The birth of gunpowder will completely change the world's map, completely change this era, and completely safeguard the interests of the lower classes.

In that distant era of cold weapons, in the ups and downs of the world, too many heroes were created; and too many heroes, relying on their own abilities, changed the trajectory of the times and altered the pattern of the world.

The emergence of thermal weapons will change the times.

Because hot weapons have completely ended the drawbacks of the past cold weapon era where wars were limited by the number of people, future wars will no longer need to be limited by the number of people.

If the outcome of a war is determined solely by gunpowder weapons and wisdom, the numerical advantage of the army will be greatly reduced. In other words, war no longer requires more people.

But the essence of war is the continuation of the economy and is caused by unfair distribution of resources.

War is essentially politics.

In other words, wars from now on will have nothing to do with the poor; they will simply be a game for those in power.

A terrible era is coming, but it is also an opportunity for a bright era to be born.

If the king is unjust, the people will suffer.

And if under such circumstances, once a strong and wise ruler ascends the throne, he will be able to achieve world peace with his ability.

And this is the fundamental significance of the invention of these gunpowder weapons.

This is also the reason why those princes and ministers are afraid.

Because Qin II no longer needed them to maintain his rule. Not needing to use them to maintain his rule meant that the king did not need to be bound, and the ministers had no reason to gnaw at the country's wealth and resources.

At the beginning of March, a muffled thunder suddenly erupted in the Xianyang Palace.

Everyone in the palace, from the Queen to the servants in Yongxiang, heard the muffled thunder.

During the reign of Qin II, people could see new things every day. Surprise was already the most familiar word in the dictionary.

But no one will forget this morning.

The second reason why this muffled thunder brought such a huge shock to people was that it made everyone's awe of the imperial power reach its peak.

In other words, Qin II took a shortcut and used science and technology to help China take a detour and directly reach the era pattern two thousand years later.

The centralized system of power stabilized directly without having to go through the trials of war.

Gunpowder changed the thinking of Emperor Qin II. The era of the emperor and the princes being on equal footing did not end, but the princes would go to distant places to expand their territories.

To be honest, Fusu is not a saint, let alone a saint.

When a person has ability, he will either oppress inwards or expand outwards.

So, which one should Fusu, the king of Qin, choose?

Maybe it would be better to expand outwards.

In the face of all kinds of great justice, it is more important to safeguard the interests of your own family first.

And according to experience, either we attack or they attack us.

In this illusory world, it is difficult to distinguish what is real and what is false.

But the strength is real, the fist is real.

If you don't hit yourself, you will never know the pain. Now that you know the pain, make it short-lived, more intense, and end it quickly.

This is the meaning of war. This is also its sadness.

Preparation for a war takes years, but the technology for a war takes fifty years or even longer.

What is numbing is that wars break out on Earth every day.

In other words, everyone is immersed in the endless secondary disasters of war.

The result of the struggle is that the negative energy becomes bigger and bigger.

What cannot be digested in this lifetime will be passed on to the next generation. Before the next generation has finished digesting the previous generation, the negative energy of this generation comes again.

Sometimes, many people feel that life is hard and tiring, and their hearts seem to be a big black pool full of negative energy.

Don't blame yourself, because the things in your heart that you can't carry are not your fault, but are brought to you by your ancestors who were unable to digest them.

So, what if there is a chance to end all wars on this earth with just one war, and cut off the source of negative energy?

The essence of war is the allocation of resources.

Why not allocate it all at once?

Is there such a possibility? This is what Qin II wanted to know.

So how can you know the answer? Naturally, you should do it first.

The gunpowder explosion caused the ground in a palace courtyard in Xianyang Palace to collapse, and a large crack appeared on the surrounding wall. The ground was full of rubble, black ash, and broken floor fragments.

The wall cracked, and the person in charge of leading the experiment, with black dust on his face, showed two rows of white teeth and smiled at the emperor.

At that moment, sand jumped into the emperor's eyes and a few tears welled up in his eyes. He quickly wiped his eyes and acted like nothing had happened, chatting and laughing with the old craftsman in charge of the project.

In order to make such a destructive gunpowder, he lost a pair of eyes and his best friend lost a leg.

There are countless countless...

How many nameless people died in the mines, how many nameless people died in unknown explosions.

There are always many lonely ghosts in this world who have no descendants to worship them. People don’t ask where they come from, but only ask how much money they have left to spend.

People always wonder why the ancient people in that distant ancient time didn't work harder and devote more effort to scientific and technological weapons, as if the situation would have been changed if China had worked harder on gunpowder weapons and scientific and technological inventions thousands of years ago.

But is this really the case?
Perhaps, in that era of extreme material scarcity, the birth of a mill was the result of a skilled craftsman, but there were countless pairs of feet broken by huge stones.

Behind the records of so-called explosives and alchemical formulas, there are actually countless accidents hidden.

It’s not that people don’t continue research based on the efforts of their predecessors, but that later generations see that everyone who has studied this task has died a violent death or has become paralyzed for life.

In an era where there is no trust between people, and there is only endless exploitation, deception, greed, and exploitation of each other, once a person loses his value, what awaits him will be a slow and painful death on the bed.

Maggots would cover his blasted legs, rendering them completely useless; his blind eyes would fester and eventually affect his mind.

How many people have died on this road.

Qin II witnessed these things with his own eyes. Every year, people who followed the chief officer would lose a few accessories, and some people were even left in the experimental site forever.

That's how, relying on blood, flesh, tears, and countless separations and deaths, the Qin people made explosives and mastered the precise and even perfect formula.

The explosion of the explosive package caused an uproar throughout the palace, and everyone was asking why thunder suddenly sounded on such a sunny day.

Everyone was whispering, saying that God had given another terrible omen...

Until the news of the explosives was officially announced.

The legendary killer finally met everyone in Xianyang City.

The noble families had just experienced a wonderful winter, and they thought that their happiness would last forever.

As a result, the thunderous sound of the explosive package shattered the dreams of the old nobles in Xianyang and awakened all the nobles and common people.
