Great Qin: My Failed Elixir Refining Caught the First Emperor's Eye

He transmigrates into a death-row prisoner who failed at alchemy, with his head about to roll on the execution ground.

Zhang Ye silently opens the System. Reward: the periodic table of elements.

"Your Majesty, the main ingredient in the elixir of immortality you take is mercuric sulfide. It's poison."

The First Emperor's chopsticks tremble, and every court alchemist drops to his knees.

Later, the Yin-Yang School challenges him to a contest in astrology. Zhang Ye recalculates everything using astrophysics. The entire Yin-Yang School shuts down.

The Mohists challenge him to a contest in mechanical engineering. Zhang Ye tosses out a blueprint for a differential gear. The Mohist leader questions his entire existence.

The Confucians denounce him for disrespecting the gods. Zhang Ye predicts a solar eclipse on the spot. The sky darkens as the sun is eclipsed, leaving everyone speechless.

Later, Zhang Ye discovers that something is wrong with this world.

Beneath the Earth's ley lines lie seven fragments of the Heavenly Court, sustaining an enormous lie: Earth is a refuge for civilization.

And the "Great Annihilation" is drawing near.

The First Emperor asks, "Can we stop it?"

Zhang Ye thinks for a moment. "Yes. But first, we need to build an atomic bomb."
