The ceremony to welcome the envoys of Qin Ni was held on the docks of Alexandria, and when Meng Yi, the envoy of Qin, who had been in a strange country for nearly three months, came out of the cabin and saw countless people lined up on the docks to play music, he could not help but be a little frightened.

He was not a real envoy, and he did not have the festival granted by the king himself - in order not to let the king of Great Xia know that he had come to the sea in the middle of the earth, the real envoy Ganluo stopped at Great Xia. He may have been in Persia now, but no matter where he went, he could not have come here—he was just a Qin military officer who had escorted witch medicine here, and with a Sogdian official who knew the Qin language, plus the accompanying advisers, armorers, and scribes, there were no more than fifty people under his command. Such an identity was welcomed by the monarch of Egypt, and he was indeed flattered.

Meng Yi did not have the festival of the envoys, and the banner that was made overnight was held high by a soldier, and the red flag was painted with the sun, moon and stars to show it. On the opposite side is a Qin flag, with a quaint 'Qin' character written on the white flag, lining the tall lighthouse on Faroe Island not far behind, and the flag is hunting and fluttering in the Mediterranean summer breeze.

"An envoy of the Qin Ni Kingdom?" Good deeds preach on the docks.

"It is indeed an envoy of the Qin Ni Kingdom." Another do-good replied: "Qinni is Chuni's enemy, and they have an army of a million. ”

"An army of a million?!" The former Persian Empire also claimed to have an army of one million, and even if it was not the first time to hear of it, the Egyptians present also breathed a sigh of relief.

"In order to form an alliance with His Majesty, the envoy of Qinni specially sent the thunder of Zeus." The do-gooder continued to speak, so loud that it almost drowned out the music. "That's a weapon, a weapon that can blow up Mount Olympus......"

While the good deeds were talking, the Qin Nijia priest holding the banner and the national flag had already disembarked. Bright armor, neat steps, a killing aura different from that of Greek mercenaries diffused on the docks. Everyone including the welcoming Chief Minister Lysimachus held their breath for a moment, and a magical idea was born in Lysimachus's mind: Would the soldiers of Chinney be willing to accept their own hiring?

"The king of Qin ordered his minister Meng Yi to be in Guiyi, and he is willing to be good for all eternity in Guiyi and never add ......," Meng Yi said politely when asking. Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a loud and continuous trumpet, and the crowd in the distance suddenly dispersed to both sides. Behind the military formation that opened the way, hundreds of Ethiopian black slaves carried the throne and appeared in people's sight.

The people on the docks, including Lysimachus, were taken aback, the crowd was like a wheat field blown by a strong wind, countless people were prostrate on the ground, only the Greeks and Jews bowed, and Zaras, who stood beside Meng Yi, said, "This is Pharaoh." ”

Although Meng Yi didn't know what Pharaoh meant, looking at the posture, it was obvious that he was the king of Egypt. He looked at the monarch sitting on a golden stool with some rudeness, except for the strange crown and the stick under his chin (false beard), the striped stick he held in his right and left hands, one with a hook in his right hand, and one with a whip in his left hand.

The decoration of the monarch is strange, and the whole country is also a little weird, this is a country with many bald people, many men have no hair, but they are not temple people, some are wearing Yue people's head clothes, and they are also barefoot like Yue people; The woman's eyes are surrounded by a thick shade of color (Eye of Horus), and her face is white and blush. The headband is decorated with gold and silver jewelry. The only thing that makes people accept is that they are fragrant all over their bodies, and they can smell the fragrance from a few feet away.

A country with strange customs, a prosperous capital city twice as prosperous as Xianyang, and a warboat that makes people smack their tongues on the road. Meng Yi finally knew where the Jing people's warship came from, and it came from here. The war boat of the Jing people is only three people paddling, but the war boat here is four, five, eight, and ten people rowing. The Qin army is invincible to Jing Shi, the most important reason is that it can't build Jing people's war boats, if you can learn the art of boat building from here, the Qin army will also gallop rivers, lakes and seas, and Jing Shi will not be defeated?

Meng Yi, who stood still, remembered his thoughts when he first came, until the group of black slaves carried Ptolemy III to the front, and the guests habitually shouted out the large list of titles, he stepped forward to salute, and then said loudly: "The envoy of Qin, Meng Yi, has met the king, and the king of Qin has ordered his ministers to live in Guiyi, and he is willing to be on good terms with Guiyi for all eternity, and will never be added." ”

There was at least no difference in appearance between the Chuni and the Qinni, and Ptolemy III looked at Meng Yi and smiled. "Welcome to the messenger of Qinni from the far east, I heard that you brought the thunder of Zeus......"

Ptolemy III spoke the words that Meng Yi was puzzled by, and it was not until the Sogdian Messenger translated that he presented a wooden box containing witch medicine, "On the orders of the king of Qin, bring the witch medicine into Guiyi, and if the Guiyi engineer can know the secret, please inform the evil." ”

The box was taken by the chamberlain and handed to Ptolemy III, who did not shy away from opening the box and taking out a small portion of gunpowder in the bag. The gunpowder was caught by him, and it fell into the bag again in the sunlight. The intriguing Doceseos shouted, "Oh my God! This is really the thunder of Zeus. ”

"Zeus's thunder?" Although the good deeds have been preached several times, there are still people who do not understand what 'Zeus's thunder' is. Fortunately, Doceseos arranged everything, and Ptolemy III took the bag in his hand by Eradose, dressed in purple robes, and handed it to Sosibius, the commander of the guard, and carefully placed a small handful of them into a crevice in the prepared rock in the distance.

The open flame ignited the fine powder of gunpowder, and 'boom——! There was an earth-shattering bang, and the debris flew in the lightning, and the rocks several cubits in size were instantly blown into dozens of pieces. The two slaves who lit the fire were killed on the spot, Ptolemy III's throne was also splashed with rubble, and tens of thousands of people on the docks and merchant ships were completely petrified, and they finally understood what the 'thunder of Zeus' was, and this was the 'thunder of Zeus'!

"Amun-la bless!" Zeus was the residence of the Greeks, but this did not affect the Egyptians present from shouting the name of the sun god, and at the same time as the corners of Ptolemy III's mouth curled, tens of thousands of people prostrated themselves and shouted the gods.

"This ......" There are very few witch potions put into the cracks of the stones, but Meng Yi is surprised that such a small amount of witch medicine has so much power. The Sogdian envoy held him down, "Pharaoh promised that once he cracked the secret of the potion, he would share it with Qinni." ”

The witch potion was sent thousands of miles away to decipher its secrets, so that it could be imitated. The words of the general matter reassured Meng Yi, and what he was most worried about was that the witch medicine was given to the king of Egypt, but he did not know the secret. In silence, Ptolemy III stepped down from his throne, cordially took Meng Yi's hand and said, "I swear in the name of Amunla that from this day on, Egypt is a friend of Chenni, and if King Chenni has no wife, I am willing to marry Anossia as his wife." ”

'Ah......h One thing is more sensational than the other. First the envoy of the Qin Ni Kingdom, then the 'Thunder of Zeus', and now he is going to marry the most beautiful princess of Egypt, Anosia, and marry the Qin Ni Kingdom, and the crowd on the dock seems to be watching a drama.

Ptolemy III was pleased with the reaction, believing that soon the 'Zeni' and the 'Thunder of Zeus' would spread throughout the known world, and in a very short time also reach the ears of the Chuni. All of this will prove Egypt's innocence and leave room for future negotiations.

There was cheering on the docks, and nothing in the Alexandria Research Park could affect the discussion of the scholars except for the earth-shattering explosion. Speaking to the crowd in the assembly square, it was Kedasibs. He grabbed his robe in one hand and drew the shape of the cannon on the stone slab with the other: "I think the 'witch weapon' is no different from the pressure pump and air gun I invented before, Zeus powder produces gases, and these gases push the stones in the 'witch weapon', causing it to fly quickly out of the front end of the 'witch weapon'......"

"I don't think so. Zeus powder not only produces gas, but also thunder and lightning, so why aren't the stones pushed by thunder and lightning? "There are arguments and refutations, and at this time the scholars always express their own opinions. The bachelor who spoke was Christops, a student of Krinthes, a representative of Stoic logic. It is said that if God used any logic, it would be the logic of Chrispps. It is precisely because of the logic of Krishpps that later generations have come to the conclusion that 'all men are created equal'.

"But we didn't see any thunder or lightning pushing anything." Keda Sibbs emphasized. "All we see is that Zeus powder, once ignited, produces a myriad of gases that not only push stones, but also break through any container that binds it."

"But lightning can always break trees." Someone interjected. Apollonius, the most famous geometrician since Euclid, said. "If lightning can break through a tree, it can also push rocks."

What Apollonius said seemed to make sense, and the bachelor in the square fell into deep thought. Contrary to Ptolemy III's expectations, they never considered how to imitate powder, but they thought about the truth that caused the phenomenon, and the question of whether it was gas or lightning that arose.

The scholars in the square were silently thinking,Somewhere in the school park,Under the rows of special-purpose utensils and flasks,Raging flames are licking the bottom of the evaporation dish,The clear water in the evaporation dish is boiling,The solution in the vessel is still calm floating on the boiling water。 This is a water bath device designed to maintain the temperature of the solution.

On the side of the bath, the distillation flask is also heated, and the sulfur at the bottom of the bottle slowly melts and sublimates, giving off a pungent taste. The distillation flask passed, and a dark-haired fair woman turned her back to the distillation flask. She wore a linen robe with tassels sewn on the sides of the tassels, and the tassels were nailed to the tassels with thin blue bands, and the Hebrew muttered, "One and two, two and three, three and one, four as one......"

Along with this Hebrew phrase, 'Huh——! Bright flames suddenly burst out of front of her, followed by a thick white smoke. When the assistants were dumbfounded, the woman smiled coquettishly, "I know, it's saltpeter." ”
