"Your Majesty, this fairy tablet given by the God of Selenium Empress, one tablet a day can cure all diseases and prolong life!"
Lin Mo held up a shiny piece of selenium and lied seriously to the sallow-faced Qin Shihuang sitting on the dragon throne.
Who would have thought that he, a modern salesman selling selenium supplements, would travel through time and become a "spy" on Xu Fu's fleet?
In order to save his life, he had no choice but to fabricate the myth of "Se Empress":
——Using selenium-rich spring water to detoxify Hu Hai who was poisoned by lead, falsely claiming that "the sacred spring cleanses the turbidity";
—— Add selenium-rich grains to soldiers' rations to create "invulnerable" warriors of the Qin Dynasty;
—— He even used the principle of electrochemistry to demonstrate the "divine nature" of selenium, which frightened Xu Fu's group of alchemists into kneeling down in collective worship!
Qin Shihuang: "Master Lin, when will you be able to refine the Selenium Pill of Immortality?"
Lin Mo broke out in a cold sweat: "Come on, come on, this 'Se Queen' is quite arrogant, she needs to be coaxed slowly..."
Xu Fu gritted his teeth: This guy is clearly stealing my secret recipe for the elixir!
Xu Miao (Xu Fu's niece): Where's the promised science? How can you do better than the alchemist? !
When modern nutrition collided with the Qin Dynasty's craze for immortality, when the knowledge of trace elements was packaged into ancient myths——
Lin Mo discovered that tricking the First Emperor into taking selenium tablets was just the beginning. He also had to teach the ancients to engage in selenium-rich agriculture, make selenium batteries, and even... Use selenium to fight the "poison pill monster" refined by Xu Fu!
"Don't panic," Lin Mo patted his chest, "Remember, if you take a piece of selenium every day, living to ninety-nine is not a dream! Even in the Qin Dynasty!"
