Chapter 28 The Differences in the History of the Two Worlds

In the Deputy Minister’s office,

Faced with Xie Zhongquan's anger, Zhao Jianguo told him everything he knew.

After learning that Wang Xiaoming would not die suddenly, Xie Zhongquan's expression eased. However, he could not make the decision on the matter and still needed to report it.

Because of Wang Xiaoming's becoming a ghost rider, the headquarters began to report the matter up the chain of command.

In the experimental base,
Wang Xiaoming received a call from the courier, saying that the history books he bought online had arrived.

He left the laboratory directly and put the books he bought in the dormitory. There was not much he needed to do in Laboratory No. 3 now, so it would be okay even if he didn't go there for a day or two.

Since the Zhurong Fire experiment ended, Wang Xiaoming has arranged new projects for Pang Dong and his experimental group. Cui Chongshi's experimental group has performed very stably, but Chen Wei's experimental group is still groping in the dark.

Wang Xiaoming only needs to check the data from time to time and give his own ideas and opinions.

After packing up the new books, he did not return to the laboratory, but started reading directly in the dormitory.

At this time, his spirituality had not yet recovered, so it was a good time to kill time.

Li Jun was sitting in the living room watching TV, bored, to kill time.

Wang Xiaoming first took out a book called "An Outline of History" and prepared to start from the basics.

On the other hand, the news that Wang Xiaoming became a ghost rider and created more than a hundred pieces of yellow paper for fake death finally reached the Ministry of Rites.

The telephone conference of the fifth department was started again because of Wang Xiaoming.

"What happened?"

"Are you ready to attack the Spiritual Volcano?"

"It was the Ministry of Rites that started the meeting."

There was a buzz of discussion during the conference call.

"I called the meeting. There have been changes with Professor Wang Xiaoming. You can check your phones. I have already sent you the information." The Minister of Rites spoke, interrupting everyone's discussion.

The entire conference call fell into silence as the other four departments were checking the information.

a long time……

"Awesome, we didn't expect that Wang Xiaoming became a ghost rider quietly and was able to make more than a hundred pieces of fake death yellow paper in one breath." The military spoke first.

“Young people nowadays are really good. The importance of the fake death yellow paper is no less than the supernatural gunpowder.” The Ministry of Finance sighed.

"He is a talented person." said the Minister of Law, who was very frugal with words.

"I also recognize Wang Xiaoming's contribution," the Ministry of Political Affairs also said, "but the supernatural formations in the information are really hard to believe."

"First of all, I have no problem with the supernatural formation, but this formation looks a bit weird." The military also said. "What do you think?"

"Xiao Yizi, please tell us what you think. He is from your Ministry of Rites. Please tell us what you think." said the Minister of Finance.

There was a lot of discussion and everyone expressed their opinions during the conference call.

Faced with the invitation, the Minister of Rites did not refuse and said directly:
"First of all, I have read Wang Xiaoming's personality analysis and psychological assessment report. He is a person who focuses on supernatural research and is a pure person. I believe what he says."

"As for everyone thinking that the supernatural formation is weird, I think it's normal, because supernatural means weird, so it's understandable that the supernatural formation looks weird."

"From Wang Xiaoming, we learned that he was the one who controlled the evil spirit during the Longmen Town incident, and then he gained stronger research capabilities."

"Based on his subsequent invention of the ghost-exorcising bell and the supernatural gunpowder, it is confirmed to be true."

"It was after Wang Xiaoming mastered the evil spirit that his research results began to explode."

"So I think there is nothing wrong with Wang Xiaoming's control of evil spirits, and the spiritual formation he mentioned is also trustworthy." "We should trust him more and give him more authority to study the spiritual formation. I have a hunch that the spiritual formation may be our hope to fight against the resurgence of the spiritual in the future."

The Ministry of Rites' speech was thought-provoking. Indeed, faced with the increasingly frequent occurrence of supernatural events, the supernatural formation in Wang Xiaoming's hands was a new breakthrough.

They have not forgotten that evil spirits are immortal. Ghost-chasing bells, supernatural gunpowder, etc. only give them means to fight against evil spirits, but cannot guarantee victory in the fight against evil spirits.

"I agree." The Ministry of Justice spoke for the second time.

"agree."

"..."

All five departments are unanimous in their opinion that times are different from the past. The times are progressing and things are developing, and they will not stick to the old ways.

Wang Xiaoming was not nervous at all about the upcoming suspicion and scrutiny. He leaned back in his chair and leisurely read the book in his hand.

Just now he saw an interesting piece of history.

Qin Shi Huang collected all the soldiers in the world and cast twelve golden men. The same record can be found in the history of his previous life.

However, when Wang Xiaoming compared his memories, he found that there were still some differences between the two. The twelve golden men in his previous life were made of copper. Although they were called golden men, they were essentially copper.

But now the "Outline of History" he was reading clearly stated that the twelve golden men made by Qin Shihuang were made of real gold.

It is said that there was not enough gold in the whole country at that time, so Qin Shihuang sent the alchemist Xu Fu to sea to look for gold. In the end, Xu Fu lived up to the trust of the Qin Emperor and brought back dozens of ships of gold, helping the Qin Emperor to cast the Twelve Golden Men.

Yes,

The records of Xu Fu's voyage to the East in this world are also different from those in the previous life.

In previous history, Xu Fu sailed out to sea in search of the elixir of immortality for Qin Shi Huang, but in the end he never returned to Qin to report.

However, the history of this world has clear records that Xu Fu returned to his country after several years at sea, bringing back countless gold. The Qin Emperor was very pleased and rewarded him with mansions, countless beauties, and appointed him as the Grand Coachman.

The history of the two worlds began to deviate drastically here.

As for where Xu Fu got the large amount of gold, there are three mainstream views nowadays:

The first point of view,
Most people believe that Xu Fu came to America by ship and that the gold on his ship came from America. The evidence is that at that time, America had the largest gold reserves in the world, and many of them were open-pit mines, which were convenient for mining and smelting.

The second point of view,
Some people also believe that Xu Fu only went to Fuso and it was he who mined the gold in Fuso, because with the shipbuilding technology at that time, it was impossible for Xu Fu's fleet to reach America.

The last view is supported by fewer people. They believe that this period of history was fabricated by the ancients and is not true, because people have not discovered the Twelve Golden Men until now. If the historical records are true, at least some of the Twelve Golden Men would have been passed down.

The author of "Historical Outline" lists all three viewpoints and makes his own evaluation of them.

This author is very interesting. He does not try to hide anything but directly states his views.

He supports the first view and refutes the second and third views in all aspects.

Some incomplete historical data are listed to prove that the shipbuilding technology of the Qin Dynasty was not weak and it was possible to travel to America.

Some historical books have recorded the Twelve Golden Men, proving that the story of the Qin Dynasty casting the Twelve Golden Men was not fictional. It was just that they were melted by Dong Zhuo in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and became the wages of the soldiers in the army, so they were not passed down.

The reason why Wang Xiaoming is interested in this period of history is that he sees the possibility of the revival of the supernatural in history.

He even suspected that the purpose of Qin Shi Huang in this world using gold to cast the twelve golden men was to imprison the supernatural.

In the original novel, there was a mention of a ghost dressed in gold and jade clothes. It was obtained by Zhou Deng from a museum and was said to be from the Han Dynasty.

This shows that supernatural revival existed during the Han Dynasty, so it is not impossible that supernatural revival occurred during the Qin Dynasty a few years earlier.

Just as Wang Xiaoming was thinking, the magic potion in his body suddenly vibrated, giving him feedback, as if to prove that what he thought was correct.
