At this point, Li Lin was truly in a dilemma.
He was telling the truth, but His Majesty didn't believe him.
He was naturally out of options.
However, the First Emperor did not, as he had imagined, immediately unleash his wrath, causing millions of corpses and rivers of blood to flow.
Instead, he smiled.
This puzzled him.
[What's wrong with Your Majesty? Why are you suddenly not angry? You really scared me just now. Your Majesty's aura is so powerful that it's truly incomparable to that of ordinary mortals.]
The First Emperor couldn't help but laugh again.
He now understood Li Lin: This brat, can't you just say what you mean? Since it's so difficult to create these four great inventions, I won't be urging you so much.
As for what exactly this Eastern Han Dynasty is?
And what kind of dynasty was the Tang Dynasty?
It took five hundred years, from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, for gunpowder to be invented.
So, what country is the Tang Dynasty now?
Is it also in the West?
etc!
Could it be that these four great inventions were all created by Western countries? And Li Lin just happens to know about the history of Western countries, so he also has some understanding of these four great inventions?
As he thought about it, he suddenly felt a sense of dread.
If those Western countries really possessed the artifacts of these Four Great Inventions, how would the Qin Dynasty face their threats after his death?
With this sense of vigilance even in times of peace, the First Emperor immediately asked, "Li Lin, tell me, where did your depiction of the Four Great Inventions come from? Or is it that there are other countries in this world besides the Qin Empire?"
[Huh? Your Majesty's thinking is quite impressive; you immediately connected it to other countries. I've got it! Now I can explain it to you!]
"Indeed, there is more than just the Great Qin in this world. There are more than two hundred countries or regions, among which there are quite a few whose sphere of influence and territory size are comparable to the Great Qin. Of the Four Great Inventions, gunpowder originated in the Great Tang Dynasty, papermaking was invented by the Great Han Dynasty, and printing and the compass were invented by the Great Song Dynasty."
"What? These Four Great Inventions were actually invented by countries I've never even heard of? What are their capabilities?"
"Haha, Your Majesty, you've come to the right person!"
In an instant, the First Emperor became like a curious child, pricking up his ears to listen to the fabricated story by Li Lin.
