Chapter 270: The Power of Qin from Its Smallness
Hu Suo walked to the microscope and pretended to examine it carefully to see if the Qin people had tampered with it.

Although the Qin people were operating the microscope right under their noses, who knew whether they had done anything wrong.

But after his inspection, he couldn't see anything. Of course, this might also be because the Qin people were so skilled that he couldn't see it.

He examined the slide most carefully. After confirming that there was nothing visible on it, Husuo imitated Qin Ren's just now action and moved closer to the eyepiece to take a look.

Suddenly, Husuo felt that his vision seemed to have expanded a little, and a scene he had never seen before appeared in his eyes. It seemed to be a body of water, but is water like this?
There were a lot of debris in it, including suspended unknown fragments, some of which looked like grass whiskers, and some like tiny grains of sand. The most terrifying thing was that there were living things in it, wriggling in his field of vision.

The shape of the creature was different from the tigers, wolves, chickens and dogs he knew. It was not so regular in shape and had no fur. It looked like a shrunken river shrimp or a skinned leech. Seeing it, Husuo, a man who feared no heaven, no earth, and no Qin people, got goose bumps all over his body.

If these creatures crawled on them and moved on them...

But Hu Suo did not believe what he saw. He thought that this might be the work of the Qin people. They were trying to scare them and scare them so as to force them to agree to the conditions.

Tu Sui, who was standing by, said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, Chief Husuo, you can move the slide a little. Everything you see is on the slide. When the slide moves, the things you see will move as well. Just don't move it too much, or else you won't be able to see anything once it leaves the observation range."

This is a way to prove it. Another Qin man handed him a pair of tweezers and asked him to use it to move the glass slide first.

Hu Suo took the tweezers and operated according to Tu Sui's instructions. The picture he saw really changed, which also proved that what he saw was on the glass slide.

While Husuo was observing, Tu Sui acted as a guide: "The glass slide is also made of linden, there is nothing on it, what Chief Husuo is seeing is actually what is in the water dripping on the glass slide. If the king and you still don't believe it and think we have tampered with it, there is water here that was taken from other places, and you can see it later."

It turns out that the Qin people went out of the city to play these days in order to get water from the surrounding water sources. Fortunately, I can show it to them today.

It is not difficult to guess the purpose of the Qin people. They probably wanted to give them a warning, but this warning was rather special. At the same time, they might also want to tell them that the power of the Qin Dynasty was far beyond their imagination. There was no need to show off their weapons, and they could show their power from the smallest details.

But King Xiou and the other leaders still did not believe Tu Sui's words. King Xiou waved to a servant and gave him a few instructions. Soon, the servant returned with several people, each holding a pottery jar in his hand.

King Xiou pointed to the pottery jar in the servant's hand and said to Tu Sui, "Since the microscope can see tiny things, can you check if there are any tiny things in it?"

Tu Sui knew exactly what the King of Xiou was thinking. He thought that they might have tampered with the water samples used for observation, so he asked someone to fetch the water himself.

Tu Sui didn't care about this distrustful and vigilant attitude: "If the king wants to see it, then of course it's fine!"

The delegation brought along personnel who specialized in operating microscopes. They took over the pottery jars, took water samples from them, made them into observation samples, and adjusted the microscopes...

After some operations, Tu Sui said to the King of Xiou: "Your Majesty wants to know if there are any small things. Now you can take a look."

With Hu Suo at the beginning, King Xiou came here in person this time. He followed Hu Suo's movements when observing, and put his eyes close to the eyepiece. He immediately had the same feeling as Hu Suo, but the picture he saw was different because of the different water samples. But this did not prevent King Xiou from knowing one thing: they always believed that there was something in the clear and clean water.

When he thought about how he usually drank those squirming, insect-like creatures, and how much he had drunk in his many years...

King Xiou also got goose bumps on his body.

“You guys come and see it too!”

So a very interesting scene appeared in the royal palace of Western Europe, where a group of ancient people dressed in ancient costumes gathered around a microscope to observe.

After looking at the water samples brought by King Xiou, King Xiou and the leaders all looked unhappy. No one would be happy if they suddenly knew that they had drunk a lot of insects and they didn't know what happened to those insects in their stomach.

One of the leaders asked, "What on earth is this tiny thing? Why is it so tiny and still alive in the water?"

Tu Sui smiled and said, "In fact, the tiny things you saw are not the 'tiny things' that Master Li Nian mentioned. These are insects and water plants in the water. They cannot be called tiny!"

It is so small that it cannot be seen with the naked eye and requires the help of a microscope to be seen. If this is not called small, then what is small?
The King of Xiou and the other leaders also noticed that Tu Sui mentioned Master Li Nian again. They knew something about Li Nian, but it was all learned from the neighboring Qin area and might not be accurate.

Now I hear Tu Sui mention Master Li Nian many times. He should have a very high status and great influence in the Qin Dynasty. Could it be that this bastard let the Qin people use the method of curing malaria to threaten them?

Although they had never met Li Nian in person, the King of Xiou and the other leaders already had a bad impression of Li Nian in their hearts.

"According to Master Li Nian, the tiny things in the world can be roughly divided into three categories: viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Most of the diseases in the human body are related to these three, and their tinyness is even greater than what you have just seen."

This was a completely unheard-of concept, but the Qin envoy did not seem to be lying. However, the more this was the case, the less happy the people of Xiou were.

Because this shows that the gap between them and Daqin is too big, and what the other party said has reached a level that they cannot understand, as if an elephant is telling a story to an ant.

Unexpectedly, the Qin people have developed to this extent without knowing it. Do they still have to hide here and stay isolated? If they don't go out to know what the Qin people have developed into, when the Qin people become extremely strong and can break through the dangers of the mountains and forests, will they still have a way to survive?
The King of Xiou and the other leaders felt that only at this moment did they truly understand the Qin people's intention of showing them a microscope and letting them see tiny things.

Directly displaying military strength is a form of demonstration, but isn’t it also displaying the huge gap between the two sides in their understanding of the world?
The Qin people let them know that there was a way to cure malaria, not only to threaten them with it, but also to tell them one thing: your miasma is useless to us, and it can no longer be your natural barrier!
They originally wanted to close their borders and not deal with Qin in the north, but now, this plan seems to be unfeasible.

Concentrating his thoughts, the King of Xiou said: "How do these diseases cause illness? How can we solve them? Cholera and malaria are also caused by them?"
