Chronicles of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 29 29. The Great Qin
Qin Shi stepped forward slightly.

As a person of lower status, she casually stepped up the stairs and approached:

"Your Majesty, this shortest hand rotates once during the day and once at night, which makes up twelve hours in a day, or twenty-four hours."

This timing method was different from the current one, and she didn't know whether the other party could accept it, so she didn't notice that King Qin suddenly tensed up all over and clenched the dagger in his sleeve.

Zhou Ju also felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.

At this moment, he hesitated: Why did Qin Qing rashly go up the stairs and get so close to the king? He saw that the back of the king's other hand, which was half exposed in his sleeve, was tense and the veins were bulging.

Is he going to say it or not?

Qin Shi really didn't notice.

She thought she was being very cautious, careful with her words and actions, but some of her habitual behaviors were still difficult to change.

The first impression Ji Heng had on her was that he was cold, deep, and quite distant.

But as time goes by, a few more entries about "tolerance and kindness" have been added, and the rewarding of handsome men in court makes it seem very domineering and open.

With all these impressions piled up, it was normal for the other party to want to get a closer look at the watch, so it was normal for her to get closer to explain.

So, he continued to point at the dial: "The characters in the middle are the calendar display, only the text is different from today - now it is July 26th."

Then he pointed to the watch face on the side of the dial and said, "The watch will become inaccurate after a long time. It needs to be rewound and calibrated again..."

This is an automatic mechanical watch, so if you wear it every day, you don't need to wind it. But I'm afraid Ji Heng can't wear a women's watch strap these days, so I have to explain everything.

Ji Heng's breathing was deep and slow, and his vigilant limbs did not relax, but he nodded calmly, his expression very calm: "Indeed, it is exquisite."

But as a king, he could always count on the sundial and clepsydra. The watch was small and exquisite, made of novel materials, like a treasure in his treasury.

To say that she is stunningly beautiful is not the extent of it.

As for the precision mechanical components inside - they are just craftsman's work, don't worry about them.

There are only two things that make him care -

"The dial is crystal clear, even clearer than the finest jade—what kind of material is this?"

"The wristband feels like gold or iron to the touch. I wonder how hard it is? Can it be used as a weapon?"

Qin Shi: ...

Your Majesty, you have a keen eye.

But the dial is made of sapphire crystal glass, and the artificial synthesis method is quite complicated, which she cannot explain.

The wristband is made of titanium alloy. In this era when bronze is still the mainstream, how can we extract titanium with its active properties?
Qin Shi racked his brains and could only smile apologetically and said, "Your Majesty, it is beyond human power now."

The King of Qin felt a little regretful and put the watch back into the box. "In that case, Qin Qing, please keep it."

This unique item naturally belonged to him, but like a pearl in a treasure house, it was of little use.

and……

Ji Heng thought silently: This is too small.

The 42mm diameter dial is big enough for a girl, but it is really small in his palm.

I don’t like young ones!

They were too close, and the slight disdain in his eyes was so obvious that Qin Shi realized it belatedly and quickly distanced himself.

At the same time, I couldn't help feeling helpless: The king is really a pragmatist!

Since that was the case, she simply said calmly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. I have another treasure to offer you, but it's running low on energy. Once opened, it will soon become scrap metal." She pulled out her phone and said, "Your Majesty, I can take a picture of this. Would you like to see it now?"

Nowadays, a phone without internet access is limited to timekeeping, lighting, taking photos, and playing music. She did download a lot of documents and books, but that was enough for her own reference. To the King of Qin, text conversion requires downloading an installation package...

This is also the reason why she hasn't turned on her phone for so many days.

It is really of little use if it is presented to the King of Qin!
But she has no say on how big the effect will be.

The greatest treasure in the world should be enjoyed by the king. Even if he doesn't want it, it is still a gift from the king. As for the lack of energy, it will be discarded after a long time of use.

It is a blessing for this thing to be used by the king.

Zhou Ju spoke at the right moment: "Then please let Qin Qing present it."

Qin Shi silently pressed the power button, held up the small phone with both hands, and presented it to King Qin again.

She pondered what interesting images she could find in her photos and videos. Fortunately, she had become so emaciated after her illness that she no longer took selfies. Otherwise, if the King of Qin asked her about any miracle cure, what would she say?

At this moment, Ji Heng was sitting in front of the desk, and she was sitting below on a flight of stairs. The moment he bent down, Ji Heng lowered his eyes, and his scrutinizing gaze was fixed on Qin Shi.

The candlelight was bright, and the people on the high platform swayed with the candlelight, their expressions occasionally disappearing into the shadows, making it impossible to tell whether they were happy or angry.

Qin Shi lowered his head and stared at the red carpet under his feet, reviewing his previous behavior. His chaotic thoughts gradually subsided and calmness returned to his heart.

Neither of them made a sound.

When the phone's startup music started playing, everyone in the hall was startled, and Zhou Ju felt like he was facing a formidable enemy:

"This thing actually makes a sound!"

Not only was there a sound, but there were also strange patterns moving around, and a dim light gradually emerged from the black board.

Qin Shi raised his head and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, may I come closer and interpret this?"

Ji Heng said nonchalantly, "Yes."

Qin Shi was not polite. He went up the stairs again, knelt down beside King Qin, and handed over the phone.

The more natural her movements were, the greater the shock in Zhou Ju's heart, which in turn made them less sensitive to such offensive behavior.

Qin Shi took a deep breath, remembering how bold he was when explaining the watch just now. At this moment, he couldn't help but try to continue to create a "natural and unrestrained" personality.

At this moment, the phone has entered the opening screen.

On the ordinary lock screen interface, the fingerprint unlocking area at the bottom is particularly obvious.

Ji Heng's eyes swept across the strange characters above and he immediately looked over: "What does this mean?"

Qin Shi pressed his finger on it: "To use this thing, you need to unlock it again and again - this is fingerprint recognition."

Ji Heng raised his eyebrows: "Fingerprint?"

The Qin State has always used this method to identify identities, seal documents, and investigate crimes, relying on the lines on the fingertips.

At this moment, although the heavenly beings before us are in different forms and mysterious, they still use the same method.

His eyes swept across the bamboo slips and pen on the desk, and he once again thought of the "Da Qin Code" which he had not yet published, and his heart was suddenly filled with heroic feelings.

My great Qin!
The great Qin!

Looking at Qin Shi again at this moment, Ji Heng only felt that there was nothing wrong with him——

Although their origins and identities were still unknown, no one, no matter who or what, had ever asked about this matter, as it would violate a taboo. But now, Ji Heng could conclude that Qin Qing must also be from the Qin State!
