Chapter 39 The Incomplete Qin's World
For Cheng Yuan and the Trisolaran civilization, the primary issue in developing the Qin Dynasty dimension was confirming the existence of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, figuring out the state of this potentially existing deity, and what attitude she held towards their cross-dimensional exploration.
Otherwise, a lot of resources were invested in the Qin Shi world, but just when it was halfway developed, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden suddenly appeared: I will not allow you to develop the world I created, Otherworldly Demons, get out!
Thus, the two sides went to war. If they won, things would be better; if they lost, they would lose both resources and troops.
In response to this, Cheng Yuan and the officials formulated a development plan for the Qin Dynasty plane: it cannot remain inactive, but it also cannot be drastic; it must be planned and executed carefully, starting with some small actions to observe the situation.
According to the probes launched in the past, something is very wrong with the Qin Dynasty dimension.
This plane does not have a complete universe or even a complete solar system.
Apart from the sun, the moon, and the incomplete Qin-era Earth, the other stars hang far above the sky. They are celestial bodies and possess some of the characteristics of celestial bodies, but they are not as large as real planets. They are somewhat like Earth and globes.
The Trisolaran civilization referred to them as "mini-planet".
The probe traversed the solar system and found that the other seven planets in the solar system were the same.
They move in the heavens in a certain order, allowing people on Earth in the Qin Dynasty to see the starry sky at night and observe changes in celestial phenomena.
The probe wanted to fly further, to leave this miniature solar system, but before it could leave, it disappeared. No matter how hard the Trisolaran civilization tried to contact it, there was no news.
Something there seemed to have completely swallowed the probe, including its body and the signals it emitted.
After discovering that some probes had disappeared, the Trisolaran civilization did not make any further attempts to leave the Qin Dynasty solar system.
Not only is the starry sky strange, but the Earth in the Qin Dynasty world is also quite strange. It is still a familiar ellipsoidal star, but it is not a complete ellipsoid, but only a small part of it.
Only the territories of the seven kingdoms are intact; the other regions seem to have grown out of this main trunk, like branches extending from it.
To the north lie grasslands and snow-covered landscapes; to the west, desert oases; to the south, mountains and dense forests; and to the east, the sea.
However, at a certain point eastward, the sea inexplicably disappeared. The seawater continued to flow, but the sea surface simply vanished.
To the west and south there is land and humans, but after reaching a certain point, the land disappears and humans cease to exist.
If we consider the seven continents, then the Asian region, where the Seven Warring States, Loulan in the Western Regions, and the Xiongnu (called the Wolf Clan in the Qin Dynasty) were located, exists, while most of Europe, the Americas, Africa, Oceania, and Antarctica do not exist.
The Trisolaran civilization sent a probe to the "border" and discovered something very interesting:
At the "boundary," faint shadowy images of the sea and mountains could be seen, but the probe did not cross the "boundary," so the specific situation could not be determined.
However, judging from the situation of flying out of the solar system, if a probe were sent to cross the "boundary" to explore, it would most likely disappear.
This probe also eased the tension between Cheng Yuan and the officials. They had deployed quite a few probes, but the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had not been detected, so the danger level could be lowered; she might not be as strong as they had imagined.
The probe did not detect any trace of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, but it captured an image of a young girl while passing through a certain place in the Western Regions.
She was a very spirited young girl, wearing yellow and blue boots, a tight-fitting short outfit with decorations on the shoulders, and a short skirt made of semi-transparent gauze and stiff fabric. Her long purple hair was tied into a big braid, which came out from a headscarf adorned with silver ornaments and then fell down.
However, after this girl was photographed by the Trisolaran civilization's probe, Cheng Yuan ordered her to be listed as one of the most dangerous individuals in the Qin Dynasty world, second only to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, with the file name "Tears of the Goddess".
The girl was unaware that she had been photographed by the detector and continued to happily wander around.
This girl is Xiao Li from the movie "Qin's Moon: Dragon Soars Across the Land," who was also transformed from a tear of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
After hearing Cheng Yuan reveal the girl's identity, the Science Administrator exclaimed in surprise, "A single tear turned into a girl?"
"Theoretically, if we could master the ability to convert elements, we could indeed transform the elements contained in tears into the various elements that make up the human body. However, the amount of elements contained in a single tear is insufficient. How exactly is this achieved?"
This technology is equivalent to adding mass out of thin air; if the "Zeroing" movement and the "Return Movement" knew about it, they would be drooling.
Cheng Yuan said, "If you have the chance, you can ask her about it later, but not now. It's a good thing that she hasn't found us. Record her whereabouts, but don't disturb her for now. Go find her later."
"Our actions in the Qin Dynasty world can be scaled up a bit, but not too much. Just because the 'Goddess's Tear' hasn't discovered us doesn't mean the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden won't. A single tear of a goddess is different from the goddess herself."
Seeing Xiao Li's appearance, Cheng Yuan's heart finally settled down. With Xiao Li present, it was basically confirmed that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden existed in this Qin Dynasty world.
It's good to be sure; uncertainty would only cause more worry. I just don't know where that Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is.
After gaining a general understanding of the world situation in the Qin Dynasty dimension, the Trisolaran civilization continued its small-scale operations, only this time with more audacity.
The State of Qi, Sanghai, is home to the world-renowned Xiaoshengxianzhuang.
This is a sizable architectural complex with white walls, blue tiles, flying eaves and brackets, and a layout that exudes a sense of grandeur and stability. The wooden structures of the buildings are mostly in a deep red tone, which also reflects the Confucian sense of composure.
The complex features a spacious seaside plaza, winding corridors, and exquisite pavilions and terraces, offering a picturesque view at almost every turn, exuding Confucian elegance.
Today, the sun shines brightly, a gentle summer breeze blows, and the sound of students reading aloud drifts from Xiaoshengxianzhuang.
Confucius said: "Is it not pleasant to learn with a constant perseverance and application? Is it not delightful to have friends coming from afar? Is it not the mark of a gentleman to remain unperturbed when others do not recognize his merits?"
Amidst the sounds of reading, the clatter of hooves echoed outside the manor as three carriages approached the gate of Xiaoshengxian Manor.
When they were still some distance from the gate, two disciples from Xiaoshengxianzhuang appeared in front of the three carriages: "Xiaoshengxianzhuang ahead, those coming, please stop!"
The three carriages came to a stop in perfect unison. If the two Confucian disciples were observant enough, they would have noticed that the three carriages stopped at almost the same time, and the distance between them and the angle of their wheels were also almost identical.
The curtain of the lead carriage was lifted from the inside, and a young man stepped out.
The young man wore a light blue, wide-sleeved robe, with three sun patterns adorning the lapels and cuffs. His black hair was tied up with a simple hairpin, giving him a graceful and lively appearance.
