Chapter 34 Strange Things of the Qin Dynasty, Due to Their High Dimension
While Jingni was communicating with her smart life assistant Xiaoni, Cheng Yuan was holding a meeting of all the governing officials.
Cheng Yuan is speaking: "This meeting mainly has two topics: first, information about the Qin Dynasty timeline; second, the future development direction of civilization."
"I didn't tell you about my plans for the direction of civilization's development back in the Alien universe and the Three-Body world, but I will tell you about them here today."
"Now let's move on to the first topic: information about the Qin Dynasty timeline."
"After the multidimensional portal successfully captured this dimension yesterday, we launched a probe towards it and should have obtained a lot of information about it. Have you made any special discoveries?"
This is His Excellency the Supreme Ruler's inspection of whether they have done a thorough job of exploring this plane.
The Scientific Governor said, "Based on our analysis of the genes of humans in this world, they have also shown similarities to, yet differences from, your genes, Supreme Governor. This undoubtedly proves that they were also created by higher-dimensional beings."
"In terms of genetic similarity, their similarity to you, Supreme Ruler, is lower than their similarity to humans from the Alien universe and humans from our original Earth universe. But..."
The science official then added a "but," before shifting the subject: "We found some previously unseen fragments in their genes, and we speculate that this is the reason they can control this special substance called internal energy."
"As far as we know, internal energy is a substance that usually appears in martial arts novels set in Earth's civilization. Could the Qin Dynasty world be a martial arts world?"
Following the Scientific Governor, the observer listened to the Governor's statement: "This plane is very strange. Judging from the names of the known countries and certain artifacts, their era should be before the Qin Dynasty's conquest of the six states in the history of human civilization on Earth."
"But many things don't match our knowledge of human civilization's history, such as their hair color. On Earth, the Eastern Kingdom in this era would definitely be predominantly populated by people of Asian descent, who should have black eyes and black hair, but in this plane..."
The monitor showed a projection of many photos, all of which featured people with various hair colors: white, blonde, red, purple, blue, and so on.
"Furthermore, their clothing—high heels, stockings, fishnet stockings… none of these should exist in this era."
There's no other way; without high heels and stockings, how can the beauties in anime look pretty and alluring?
"Their food also has problems."
The surveillance officer released another set of photos, showing a cornfield.
According to their knowledge of ancient Eastern history, corn originated in Central and South America and was introduced to Eastern China in the mid-Ming Dynasty, more than 1,800 years ago, which is different from the time in this dimension.
The industrial governor also released a set of photos, saying, "Their technology is also very problematic. I remember that paper was invented by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but they already have it now. And these mechanical beasts and glass mirrors are not things they should have at this time."
Glass existed in this era, and was called "Qiulin" or "Luli," but there shouldn't have been mirrors in later times.
"We analyzed this sword called 'Jing Ni' and discovered an unknown new element in it. Its manufacturing process is extremely excellent, and that element has been almost perfectly integrated into the sword body. The sword's sharpness and strength are very high, reaching the level of medium titanium alloy."
The strength of medium-strength titanium alloy is nothing to the Trisolaran civilization, but in an era set against the backdrop of the Warring States period, it is somewhat outrageous.
Moreover, this sword has an exceptionally high efficiency in transferring energy, especially internal energy, which is a magical form of energy.
Based on their tests so far, none of the materials in the civilization can match the efficiency of this Jingni Sword in transmitting internal energy.
The Trisolaran Prime Minister also said, "Their people are also very special. Haven't you all noticed that, judging by human aesthetic standards, the people in this world are a bit too good-looking?"
"In most parts of ancient Dongguo, commoners struggled to even get enough to eat, so how could so many people be so fair-skinned and beautiful?"
The Three-Body Prime Minister also released a set of photos, all of which are considered handsome men and beautiful women from a human aesthetic perspective.
Actually, there are women who aren't very attractive, but they are relatively few, like Gongsun Linglong. However, if Gongsun Linglong were thinner, she might also be a beauty.
The Three-Body Prime Minister added, "Besides these, have you noticed that their language is also very strange?"
"I've done my research. In this era, there isn't a very unified language. There's only a common language called 'elegant speech' among the nobility and royalty, but it's not something commoners can learn or speak. However, in this dimension, almost everyone speaks the common language of the Eastern Kingdom, and there are no language barriers between people from different regions."
This is also why Cheng Yuan was able to communicate with Jing Ni without using a translator, as they both spoke Mandarin.
Other officials also spoke, pointing out the discordant notes they had identified in this plane.
After the last governor finished speaking, Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "You all observed this plane very carefully. But the strange phenomena that occur are left behind by the high-dimensional organization 'Mysterious Technology,' which created this plane!"
Although it wasn't the first time Cheng Yuan had mentioned it, each time they heard it, it still sent a violent jolt through the minds of the officials.
This is the terrifying thing about higher dimensions; regardless of whether it makes sense or not, or whether it's distorted or not, they can forcefully create a world.
What's even more terrifying is that the intelligent life forms in the low-dimensional worlds they create are unaware of their own existence, no matter how powerful their civilizations become.
For example, the "Zero Returners" and the "Return Movement" are top-tier civilizations in the Trisolaran universe, but so what? They are still just playthings in the hands of higher-dimensional beings!
Even if a low-dimensional being destroys stars, reverses time and space, and reflects the heavens, a high-dimensional being can be denied at any time.
Their Trisolaran civilization was originally like this; under the constraints of higher-dimensional forces, they couldn't even conceive of a very simple method like shielding and filtering brainwaves.
It was only because the Trisolaran civilization was lucky enough to find the Supreme Ruler who had fallen from a higher dimension that they had the opportunity to change their fate and break free from the destiny of a lower dimension.
Praise be to His Excellency the Great Supreme Ruler!
Cheng Yuan continued, "The Qin's Moon universe is an animated series in higher dimensions. When I was exiled from a higher dimension, Xuanji Technology hadn't finished producing it yet, so I don't know what happened to it afterward. This universe might be incomplete!"
Cheng Yuan then changed the subject, saying, "But this is also an opportunity for us. This plane may be incomplete, which means it has room for future creation. Perhaps we can use this to access the creative power of higher dimensions!"
Just like a character in a certain god encountering "Let's explore the area ahead later," if the character has independent consciousness, by actively contacting the unopened area, they might have the opportunity to see how higher dimensions create this area.
Of course, this is just Cheng Yuan's conjecture. But how can we make progress if we don't conjecture and verify?
Cheng Yuan continued, "Of course, this also comes with risks. One risk is the inherent risk of these blank areas themselves; they may contain higher-dimensional power, or dangerous objects deployed there by higher dimensions. The second is..."
At this point, Cheng Yuan looked up, but the other officials knew he wasn't looking up, but rather towards the higher dimensions of creation.
However, they cannot see the higher dimensions of creation from their perspective.
