"It's decayed?"
"If we use this method, we can only throw it less than two miles with manpower?"
"This is way too short!"
"It's only two miles. If there's too much of an army, won't the enemy take advantage of the situation and launch a surprise attack? It's definitely not within a safe range..."
The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves.
As Li Lin's explanation deepened, everyone realized that using manpower to throw gunpowder was the most foolish thing to do.
If bows and arrows or crossbows are used to bind gunpowder and launch it.
The amount of gunpowder applied was too small, resulting in insufficient effectiveness in causing damage.
As the First Emperor listened, he couldn't help but nod. Clearly, he understood the principles Li Lin was explaining. Of course, he didn't take in a single word of Newton's laws of motion.
But that doesn't prevent him from understanding.
As a monarch, the most important thing is to have a certain learning ability.
The First Emperor had no shortage of this ability; his learning capacity was among the best in the Qin Dynasty.
He's not a genius, but he's one of those rare individuals.
Seeing Li Lin, who was supporting his chin with both hands, the First Emperor was overjoyed.
[Phew! His Majesty is finally not in that furious state anymore. I've practically talked myself hoarse. But His Majesty is usually a reasonable person, so why would he get so angry just from a friendly glance? If no one had deliberately spoken ill of me to His Majesty beforehand, he probably wouldn't be this angry.]
Now, he has finally calmed down.
Thinking of the First Emperor's unusually angry actions, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Ying Xi beside him!
[Could it be Ying Xi? These past few days, aside from offending the Wang family and Li Si's cronies, I don't think I've offended anyone else in the Construction Bureau, right? Could it be Manyin? No, no, no, it can't be Manyin. That girl is completely fooled by me, how could she possibly harm me like this? It seems, nine times out of ten, it's Ying Xi pulling the strings behind the scenes!]
Li Lin thought about it repeatedly, going through all the people he had offended in recent days, and finally concluded that the person who was most likely behind this was Ying Xi, who looked completely harmless at the moment.
When the First Emperor heard Li Lin's quick reaction, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "This rascal, I never expected that he would be so calm and thoughtful on the surface, daring to give me attitude, and even able to quickly figure out who is framing him behind my back."
Such a powerful mindset.
Even I, the Emperor, probably cannot reach it.
If I had his mindset back then, I might not have revealed my abilities too early, thus preventing Lao Ai from making a murderous decision and taking action prematurely.
In this way, Lü Buwei's faction will be crushed even more thoroughly by me.
The undercurrents of turmoil within the Qin Dynasty might finally subside as a result.
Just as the First Emperor was praising his attitude,
Yingxi's emotions, however, were rather unstable.
When he saw that the First Emperor couldn't help but nod when he heard the wonderful part, he knew that something bad was about to happen.
so.
Seeing that Li Lin had stopped and there was no chance to continue his explanation, he whispered, "Your Majesty, this Vice Minister Li is far too audacious! How dare he be so disrespectful and defy Your Majesty, deceiving the emperor! He's too arrogant! Your Majesty must punish him severely..."
"Yingxi, you don't need to say anything more. I know what I should do. Let him finish his lessons first. I don't need to rush to deal with him. You agree, right?"
The First Emperor's words were like a reassuring pill, instantly putting his mind at ease.
It seems His Majesty is still furious. Right now, he's just giving Li Lin a lot of face. Once class is over, Li Lin will be in deep trouble, if not dead!
pity.
He hasn't realized it yet, mistakenly believing that this is what the First Emperor intended.
In fact, when the First Emperor heard that the content of Li Lin's lessons was closely related to the invention of gunpowder and its use, he was no longer angry.
Just now, he genuinely believed that Li Lin had deceived and fooled him, which is why he flew into a rage.
Now he knows that he had misunderstood.
As for what to ask him after class, isn't it just to ask him why he took such measures at the construction company?
And Yingxi?
Heh, the First Emperor has always despised such despicable people who maliciously slander others, but considering that they are members of the imperial family, he can't retaliate. If he still can't understand the situation later...
Let him suffer a bit.
"Alright, that concludes this morning's lesson. Everyone, we will have another lesson here at the agreed time this afternoon. After you return, you can pass on the course content to others and strive to ensure that everyone in the construction company can master this basic mathematical knowledge, as well as some content in physics and chemistry, within a month!"
"You've worked hard, sir. We will definitely teach the others when we get back!"
"You've worked so hard, sir. We'll head back now!"
"Farewell, sir!"
......
After Li Lin saw off his ten "good students" with a smile, he immediately regained his composure, turned around, and greeted the First Emperor, who had just gotten up.
At this moment, the First Emperor was looking at him with a forced smile, giving off a rather sarcastic feeling.
