But after Yang Yifei returned to the team and reported the meteorite to Meng Yi, Meng Yi immediately decided to divide his troops into two groups.

Yang Yifei led a team of people to take a carriage and some silk to the place where the meteorite was located, and tried to transport it back to Xianyang. He himself led a large group of people to escort Yu Shu back to Xianyang first.

Yang Yifei took the order. When he returned to the meteorite with silk, basically everyone had gone down to the pit and saw it, each of them had joy on their faces. Obviously, they also saw the words on the meteorite.

The soldiers were very sure that they only heard a few knocks, which were the movements made by Yang Yifei smashing two meteorites, and they did not hear the sound of chiseling.

This proves that the words on the meteorite were definitely not engraved by Yang Yifei, and he didn't have enough time to go down to hedge the words.

They never dreamed that it was because Yang Yifei had an invincible black iron dagger that easily carved those words on the meteorite without using chisel.

Since it was not engraved by Yang Yifei, it means that those words were originally found. Whether it was the will of heaven or someone else engraved them on them in advance, this is a great thing for the Qin Dynasty and His Majesty.

Someone asked Yang Yifei if he carved it, and he insisted that he had already had those words when he went down.

In this way, the soldiers had no doubts. They had to bring back this meteorite, even if they could make their Majesty happy, they were very willing to do it.

Yang Yifei immediately took the soldiers and started working hard. He asked everyone to spread the silk pieces and then tie them into a large piece of crater that was enough to cover the entire crater, and they were thickly stacked several layers.

Then the soldiers pinched the edge, walked over from both sides of the crater, and covered the silk on the crater.

When the silk covers the crater completely, the soil that originally floats in the sky falls down and smashes the silk into the crater, which means that the rays emitted by the meteorite have been completely blocked.

Next, it’s easy to do. Go down to the crater, wrap the silk cloth in the middle, and finally turn the meteorite into tightly wrapped, then pull out the crater with a rope.

Because of transporting meteorites, Yang Yifei and his party were three days later than Meng Yi and the others back to Xianyang. The First Emperor had already received a report from Meng Yi. He knew that the meteorite that fell from the sky a few days ago and that the ground-to-stone meteorite would be transported back by Yang Yifei. He gave instructions early. As soon as the meteorite arrived, he would immediately send it to the palace.

Yang Yifei transported the meteorite to Xianyang Palace as required by Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Emperor Qin Shi Huang immediately took a group of ministers out of the hall and went to the square in front of the hall to see what words were on the meteorite.

Because Yang Yifei wanted to give the First Emperor a surprise, he deliberately told Meng Yi that there were words on the meteorite, but he didn't say what words were. Seeing Yang Yifei's face full of joy, Meng Yi guessed that it must be a good word, so he didn't ask.

Yang Yifei said to the First Emperor: "Your Majesty, this stone is quite magical. If there is no object to block it, it will cause the force of the earth to suck and pull, causing people to fly up. We will still need to make some preparations."

The First Emperor said happily: "General Yang, be prepared, be ready to tell me."

"only."

...

Meng Yi had already told the First Emperor about the suction and pulling power of the earth, and also explained the principle of the meteorite falling to the ground. After listening to it, the First Emperor suddenly became enlightened.

Originally, he had always thought in his subconscious that the meteorite fell to the ground, which was the heaven that indicated that he was about to die. In addition, the previous Ying Huo guarded his heart made him feel depressed and unable to sleep or eat.

But after listening to Meng Yi's retelling and Yang Yifei's explanation of the earth's ability to absorb and pull, he was in a good mood, and could eat and sleep peacefully.

It turns out that there is a reason for this meteorite to fall. There is a possibility that such a thing will happen at any time. Perhaps this thing will happen at any time in places they cannot see, and it does not indicate anything.

He had no reason to doubt these words, because no matter what he thought, what Yang Yifei said was reasonable and reasonable, and he could not even find any point to refute.

So after Meng Yi retreated, the First Emperor summoned the Grand Historian and the Imperial Heavenly Prison officials and asked everyone: "I ask you a question. If anyone can answer it, I will be rewarded."

The Grand Historian, the Grand Historian, said: "I respectfully ask Your Majesty for a question."

The First Emperor said: "A few days ago, there was a meteorite coming to Dongjun. You all know it. Who can tell me why this meteorite fell to the earth?"

"This..." The officials looked at each other. They only knew that there must be a warning from the sky. How could they know why the meteorite fell? If this question cannot be answered correctly, it will lose its head.

Seeing that the ministers could not answer, a hint of lust flashed across the face of the First Emperor, and a sense of superiority that crushed the ministers in his knowledge arose.

"This question is indeed difficult to answer. Then I will change it. Do you know why all things in the world fall to the earth, rather than fly to the sky?"

This question made all the ministers confused. Isn’t it common sense to fall on the ground? Your Majesty specifically asked him, but I don’t know what the purpose was.

The Grand Historian said carefully: "Report to Your Majesty, there is a distinction between heaven and earth in the world, and all things fall from top to bottom, which has been the same since ancient times. This is the ultimate principle of heaven and earth."

The First Emperor asked: "Why is this true?"

"This..." The Grand Historian was embarrassed, and the ministers were also silent. Based on their cognition, how could they answer this question?

"Hahahaha..." The First Emperor laughed out loud, stretched out his fingers to point the ministers, and said, "You guys know what it is but don't know why. Today I will tell you and let you know why this is true."

The ministers hurriedly bowed and said, "Please give me a message, and I will listen carefully."

The First Emperor stood up casually, walked slowly in the hall, and said what Meng Yifei said, "the theory of the earth sucking and pulling" that Yang Yifei said, and finally said, "This is what a general in my Qin army said. Do you agree?"

After hearing the words of the First Emperor, the officials were shocked by the people who proposed this theory. This statement is absolutely tenable.

The Grand Historian was responsible for drafting documents, recording historical events, compiling historical books, and also in charge of national classics, astronomical calendars, sacrifices, etc.

The Imperial Heaven Supervision is a department under the rule of Taishi Ling. In a sense, it can also be considered a scientific one. They specialize in observing astronomical phenomena, calculating solar terms, and formulating calendars.

In this way, aren’t they just experts in astronomy and meteorology? Although their research is still very primitive and cannot even be considered a primary level, they are still people who are engaged in this area of ​​knowledge.

So when they heard this theory, they immediately understood that this was not nonsense, but fact, because no one could explain why everything always fell from top to bottom and would not fly into the sky.

The earth had the power of sucking and pulling, which gave them the answer. Some officials even lost their minds and jumped on the hall thoughtfully, and finally showed a sudden look on their faces.

The First Emperor was not worried about the behavior of these officials, because even they agreed with this statement, which proves that what Yang Yifei said was a new truth of the world and was absolutely correct.

The Grand Historian bowed in great admiration and said, "This general is truly a genius of all ages. This statement has great revelation for me and others to participate in the study of the supreme principles of heaven and earth, and it is enough to be recorded in history. I also ask Your Majesty to give this general the name, and I am willing to worship this general as my teacher."

Looking at the Taishi who was gray-bearded, the First Emperor laughed silently and naturally did not agree to this matter. His general also wanted to train a large army for him, guard the country, and then expand his territory. Isn’t it too much to be a teacher for you old guys?

This also shows that the ancient kings did not pay attention to scientific research. The Taishi was still a minister in the court in the Spring and Autumn Period, and his status gradually decreased since the Qin Dynasty.

However, after this incident, the First Emperor valued Yang Yifei more and more. It was a great achievement to solve the worries in his heart by solving them alone.
