The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"Ritsuka successfully signed a contract with Chen Gong and Red Hare, but received an unexpected communication from Da Vinci."

"Hello, hello, can you hear me, Ritsuka?"

"Huh?" Ritsuka was also shocked when she heard this sudden communication. Wasn't she captured by the First Emperor along with Shadow Border?

"Ah, it looks like the communication is working fine," Da Vinci said delightedly. "I never thought communication could reach this level. I'm truly worthy of being able to create such a wonderful device!"

“No, it’s not a communication distance issue right now…” Jing Ke didn’t know what to say.

"Yeah, weren't we all caught?" Mashu asked.

"Yes, he was brought all the way to Ankang and is now locked up in a solitary cell," Holmes replied.

“Holmes, I, and the entire staff, including the director, are all in this prison… though we’re in different cells,” Da Vinci added.

"Even though he was caught, their communicator wasn't confiscated?" Ritsuka asked, puzzled.

“I find that strange, too.” Da Vinci tilted his head in confusion. “It’s unlikely they’d do something as stupid as deliberately setting us up to have a conversation and then eavesdropping on us.”

"We were in the same prison, but we were in separate cells. It was clear they didn't want us to discuss things."

"The security doesn't seem to be lax either. All weapons and other items have been confiscated."

"Although it's unlikely, it's the only possibility... They didn't notice the communicator, or rather, they didn't even realize it was a communication device."

Holmes analyzed it carefully.

"Eh? What does that mean?" Li Xiang asked, puzzled. "This Great Qin's technology is clearly more advanced than ours! They even built a space wall to protect against aliens. How could they not detect them?"

"Good question." Holmes exhaled a puff of cigarette smoke. "My guess is that it's because they have communicators and can't carry them with them, so they have this preconceived notion and fall into a blind spot."

"Oh, Holmes, judging from your tone, have you discovered something?" Leonardo asked curiously.

“Hmm.” Holmes nodded. “The First Emperor achieved immortality through the mechanization of his body. Although he continued to enhance his functions, ultimately developing that gigantic body… don’t you think it’s too big?”

"...Now that you mention it, it's true." Ritsuka nodded. "In our world, the first computers were so large that they required an entire room to house them. But through continuous miniaturization, they eventually even became small computers like laptops. But the First Emperor... he didn't seem to have considered shrinking himself at all?"

"Hmph! Magnificence is the only way to achieve power! Why must it be so small? As an emperor, you should use this gigantic figure to overlook the entire world!"

Liu Bang snorted.

These young people know nothing!

How can the emperor be so insignificant?

Of course, he is an extremely tall and majestic person, worthy of the admiration of the world!

"The First Emperor, they don't understand, but I do!"

"So, you really want to become like this?" Lu Zhi raised her eyebrows and looked over.

"Uh..." Liu Bang froze for a moment: "Then forget it."

If I become a lump of iron, unable to find a beautiful woman or a handsome man, what is the fun in life?

…………

"Yes, because the First Emperor believed that knowledge was the source of sin, science and technology were not popularized among the general public."

“Okay, let’s do a thought experiment. When there’s no need to consider widespread adoption or mass production, what’s the most easily overlooked thing?”

Holmes inquired.

Mashu immediately responded, "It's about miniaturization and efficiency, right?"

"Excellent," Holmes praised. "It's precisely because technology has become smaller and cheaper that it's becoming accessible to the masses. Major businesses, driven by the desire to profit from the masses, will naturally promote miniaturization... but in this Lostbelt, such thinking doesn't exist. In this world, even the concept of 'money' no longer exists."

"I see." Da Vinci nodded in understanding. "Besides, the First Emperor doesn't need a small portable communicator to monitor the empire. After all, he can always be in touch with the Emperor from anywhere!"

"That explains why their communication devices weren't confiscated."

"Because in the minds of everyone in the Great Qin Lostbelt, this kind of portable communicator doesn't exist!"

"Hmph, to have made such a blunder! Even the First Emperor, who unified the world, has become rigid in his thinking." Jing Ke sneered, "In any case, the enemy's mistakes are our advantages. We must exploit them."

"Jing Ke, this bastard!" Ying Zheng felt so angry when he looked at Jing Ke.

This guy keeps mocking him for no reason, it's so annoying!

But it must be said that this was indeed a case of carelessness on the part of him in the sky.

"We must learn this lesson. We must be cautious and consider everything we do. Do you understand, Fusu?"

Fusu looked up in surprise: "Father, are you still willing to trust me?"

Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at him: "What else?"

Among his children, even if Fusu is not very promising, he is still the most powerful one!

It seems that the seven consecutive wise rulers of the Qin Dynasty really drained the card pool in one go and used up all the SSR cards.

The rest are either SR or R.

There are even N cards like Hu Hai!

As expected, he still wants to live forever. Either he continues to be the emperor, or he keeps having children and tries to give birth to another SSR card.

…………

"Yes, that's how we know your location." Ritsuka turned and asked, "Mashu, how far is Ankang from us?"

Mashu immediately checked her device. "It's still about two days away. If we speed up, we might be able to reach the destination in a day."

“I hope you can come as soon as possible, or…” Holmes hesitated.

Ritsuka frowned slightly, sensing something was wrong: "Come to think of it, the director hasn't said a word since a while ago, right?"

"Hmm." Da Vinci said anxiously, "Goldruff is sleeping. To be more precise, he has lost consciousness due to exhaustion."

“How could that be!” Mashu’s eyes suddenly sharpened. “It should still take a few days!”
