You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 79
Chapter 79: An Emperor’s Word Is His Bond!
Watching Xie Yingqing hold the Imperial Seal, Su Qin’an’s doubts arose one after another, endlessly.
He even felt that this place, this Spatial Node, this entire Dongting Lake had become eerie.
Like Xie Yingqing just said, things that looked like mechanical arms…
Where exactly is this?
Before its abandonment, whose Territory was this?
Why are there so many things here with a strong sense of Technology?
But the dust-filled sky wouldn’t give him the answer, no matter how confused Su Qin’an was.
“Alright, what’s the point of thinking so much? ”
Seeing Su Qin’an remain silent for a long time, Xie Yingqing had already understood Su Qin’an’s thoughts: “Let’s solve the immediate problem first, and we’ll deal with the future later! At least there’s Spiritual Energy here, isn’t there? ”
“You’re right. ”
After listening to Xie Yingqing, Su Qin’an suppressed his questions: “Let’s go, we can start construction when we get back. ”
That day, they went to the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Construction, and also returned to the Daojian Sect to check on Yin Wanshan’s recruitment progress.
Conditions were given during recruitment: Cultivators who come to build the school and wish to join the school and become Teachers can be given appropriate priority.
Incidentally, Su Qin’an returned to the Laboratory and also brought Liu Qiming and the entire Nine Heavens Research Group.
The Imperial Seal could appear in such a place, and even make the System utter ‘beep beep beep’, saying that there’s nothing special about it—no one would believe that!
After all, the System had previously said that if there’s a “beep beep beep” sound, it means Earth’s Civilization Level is insufficient to understand the content the System wants to convey.
But an Imperial Seal, no matter how mysterious, was made by Qin Shi Huang over two thousand years ago. Why would Earth’s current Civilization Level be insufficient to understand it?
Could the Qin Dynasty’s Civilization Level be higher than the present?
Su Qin’an refused to believe it, so he brought the Seal back, hoping that the Nine Heavens and the Ministry of Science and Technology would find time to study it.
“Come, everyone, guess what this is? ”
Su Qin’an placed the Seal on the table, looking mysteriously at everyone.
Looking at such a large piece of jade, everyone was dumbfounded.
“Did you buy a stone? ”
Sun Ruilei asked: “Did you buy a stone, cut it, and then there happened to be a piece of jade inside, so you carved it like this? I have to say, the carver’s craftsmanship is pretty good. This dragon, these bizarre runes…”
“No, who bought a stone! ”
Su Qin’an said helplessly: “Guess again! ”
“Did you buy it from the Antique Market? ”
Zhang Xian picked it up and examined it: “I can’t tell, you have this hobby? But the workmanship is quite meticulous…”
“No, guess again! ”
The smile on Su Qin’an’s face became increasingly obvious: “I’ll give you a hint, your Emperor lets you guess again! ”
“What is it? You’re acting like an Emperor…”
Li Weimin picked it up, examined it repeatedly, and then fixed his gaze on the runes at the bottom of the Seal: “This is… Mandate of Heaven, something… Everlasting Prosperity… Everlasting Prosperity? This is the Imperial Seal? ”
“Look at him, Old Li is still the most cultured! ”
Su Qin’an laughed: “That’s right, this is the Imperial Seal! And it’s real! So, Old Liu, when are you going to hand it over to the Nation? ”
“What? Really?!”
Liu Qiming slapped the table and snatched the Imperial Seal: “This… is this really a genuine article? ”
During the great turmoil at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Imperial Seal disappeared, and no one knew who got it.
There were rumors that it was hidden by some wealthy businessman, some said it was overseas, and there were even some who said that China had already found it but didn’t want to show it… Of course, Liu Qiming knew the museum didn’t have this thing.
For so many years, China had been searching for it, but to no avail.
“The Emperor does not jest! ”
Su Qin’an looked serious: “Liu Gonggong, kneel down! ”
“Go go go! ”
Liu Qiming waved his hand: “You should hand this in… no, how are you planning to deal with it? ”
Liu Qiming was just about to have Su Qin’an hand it over to the Nation, but then he remembered that this belonged to Su Qin’an’s personal belongings, and how to dispose of it still depended on him.
“I brought it back to have everyone study it. ”
Su Qin’an took the Seal and said: “This thing is not simple, at the very least, it’s definitely more than just what it seems on the surface. ”
“No, you’re not going to cut it up and study it, are you? ”
Liu Qiming panicked: “China has been searching for this thing for so many years, it absolutely cannot be cut up and studied like that! ”
“Old Liu, this is my personal property now, and I have the right to dispose of it! ”
Su Qin’an looked at Liu Qiming with a smile: “As for the Nation… just keep it a secret for me! ”
“I… sigh! ”
Liu Qiming sighed and shook his head: “Fine, fine, I’ll pretend I’ve never seen this thing! You guys study it carefully and find something out quickly! ”
Saying so, adhering to the principle of “out of sight, out of mind,” Liu Qiming covered his eyes and left the Conference Room.
“Team Leader, is this really the Imperial Seal? ”
After Liu Qiming left, Zhang Xian curiously examined the Seal: “How did you find it? ”
Zhang Xian thought for a moment, if he had found it, he might have “handed it over to the Nation”…
“Well… it’s a long story, let’s not talk about it. ”
Su Qin’an said: “But the study of this Seal must be put on the agenda, but not now. ”
Sun Ruilei scratched his head: “Then what are we doing now? ”
“Researching the Mech! Is it done? ”
Su Qin’an glared at him: “This is the last obstacle for China to dominate the world, we must finish it within two and a half months! ”
There were only three months left, and the school construction had delayed half a month, so now there were only two and a half months left before the deadline for the Quest.
“Two and a half months? Isn’t that too short? ”
Li Weimin frowned: “In two and a half months, it’s unlikely that we’ll have enough time to research it, then test it, improve it, test it again, and improve it again! ”
“It’s okay, I’m here! ”
Su Qin’an smiled slightly: “Tonight, everyone pack up, we’re going to Mobei, and the Mech research will be conducted in Mobei. ”
“Ah? So urgent? ”
“No choice, we only have three months, and we have other things to do after three months! ”
Su Qin’an smiled: “What are you panicking about? I’m going with you! ”
“But you can bring family members…”
“Hm? ”
“I mean, this… I’d better not bring family members…”
“Yes. Good, very perceptive! ”
Su Qin’an looked approvingly at Sun Ruilei, indicating that Comrade Sun Ruilei had a high level of ideological awareness: “Everyone go back and pack up, the tickets are for 5 PM today, I’ve already booked them. ”
“Ah? So sudden? ”
“Don’t worry, at most three months, once three months are up, even if we haven’t finished the research, I’ll bring you back. ”
Su Qin’an smiled: “By the way, I’ve prepared some delicious food for you in Mobei. “
