Heaven's Punishment

"Sir, is this a bathtub as well? Why does it look so small?"

Fusu approached the toilet, seeing that the middle was empty, somewhat like a bathtub, and there was water inside, very clean. He couldn't help but reach in and stir it twice, then cupped the water with both hands and washed his face.

"Hey, hey... don't..."

By the time Zhou Ping'an reacted, it was already too late.

Fusu had already finished washing his face, let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "Comfortable."

He had drunk some wine earlier, so washing his face naturally felt comfortable.

"Sir, is there something wrong with this water?"

Qin Shi Huang noticed Zhou Ping'an's reaction and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Uh... this is actually a toilet," Zhou Ping'an said.

Fusu, however, looked confused and walked toward him. "A toilet? What is a toilet?"

Zhou Ping'an quickly took two steps back, his face full of disgust. "It's a place to relieve yourself."

Hearing this, Fusu froze on the spot.

"This is the sink, hurry up and wash here." Saying that, Zhou Ping'an helped him turn on the faucet.

...

Early the next morning.

The bus parked downstairs at the hotel.

After Qin Ning and his group finished breakfast, they took the bus to the zoo.

"Wow, it's a giant panda!"

Inside the zoo, Princess Chengyang spoke with a face full of surprise, and the other little ones quickly gathered around.

"It's a black and white beast!" Sizi said.

But everyone's attention was on the panda, ignoring her.

Ying Zheng spoke, "Is this the iron-eating beast? I didn't expect it to look so docile."

"It's a black and white beast!" Little Sizi said stubbornly.

...

After seeing the pandas, the group visited several other scenic spots.

It wasn't until the afternoon that they took a plane and left Shu Province.

Over the next few days, Qin Ning took the group to scenic spots all over the country, as well as big cities like the Magic City for fun.

They also made a special trip to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

Looking at his own tomb, Qin Shi Huang felt a bit weird inside.

The group's final stop was the capital.

On the first day of their arrival, at noon, Elder Zeng personally came to receive them and arranged a banquet.

"Xiaofei, you take Sizi, Chang'le, and the others to play in the capital for these two days. We need to go to the base."

After eating, Qin Ning and Qin Fei left this sentence behind, then left with Elder Zeng, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Ying Zheng.

Inside the cultivation base.

The few of them arrived here.

They saw an aerospace aircraft carrier parked in the open space, everything ready, just waiting to take off.

"All personnel have boarded the ship, just waiting for you guys. We can depart at any time," Elder Zeng said.

A few days ago, this aerospace carrier had already completed various inspections, preparing to head straight to the Great Ming.

"Elder Zeng, aren't you going?" Qin Ning asked.

"Haha, I won't go. Just have fun," Elder Zeng laughed.

"Alright."

Qin Ning nodded, then led Ying Zheng, Li Shimin, and Zhu Yuanzhang onto the ship.

"Can such a big iron thing really fly?"

On the deck, Ying Zheng's face was full of wonder. On the way here, they had briefly learned about some of the uses of this giant from Qin Ning.

They just didn't expect it to be such a behemoth.

Standing on the deck now, they could feel its majesty even more.

"Naturally."

Qin Ning smiled and nodded. "This thing uses nuclear power, with technical support from 'Weixing', but all the materials for the parts are produced right here on Earth."

As he spoke, a layer of light screen appeared out of thin air, like some kind of barrier, enveloping the entire aerospace carrier.

The carrier started up, and the sound was much quieter than imagined. At this moment, Qin Ning and the others standing on the deck were completely unaffected, the decibel level not much different from sitting in an electric tram.

Not only that.

When it flew in the sky, it was pretty much the same.

Coupled with the light screen covering it, the sound outside was even quieter than what could be heard inside. If you didn't deliberately look up, you probably wouldn't even know when such a big thing appeared above your head.

Because the sound and commotion were simply too small.

Soon, the carrier floated up, but the altitude was very low because it had to pass through the portal.

The portal wasn't big, at least much smaller than the carrier.

But this didn't prevent it from passing through smoothly.

With a swish, by the time Li Shimin and the others on the deck reacted, they had already ridden the aerospace carrier to the space-time of the Great Ming.

Outside Yingtian City.

Above the base, there were many people from later generations who were busy.

They only felt the sky suddenly go dark, and when they looked up, they realized it was a carrier flying over from the portal.

"Young Master Qin, Young Master Qin! I haven't gotten on board! Take me! I want to go too!"

On the ground, Xia Fei held a jade pendant given by Qin Ning, shouting as he flew up, appearing in the sky outside the aerospace carrier. This jade pendant was a special magical artifact; Xia Fei only needed to inject his spiritual energy into it to fly.

On the deck, Qin Ning waved his hand, and Xia Fei appeared there as well.

"Young Master Qin, are we going to take the Iwami Silver Mine?" Xia Fei asked.

Qin Ning nodded. "Aside from the Great Ming, we'll also go to the Great Tang and the Great Qin later."

"Isn't this a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?" Xia Fei said.

"It's fine, just treat it as playing around," Qin Ning smiled.

At this time, the aerospace carrier had already flown away from the land, reaching the sea, and was heading eastward.

A middle-aged man in military uniform came to the deck and handed a device similar to a tablet to Qin Ning.

Qin Ning recognized this person; he had seen him next to Elder Liu before, and he was now the captain of this carrier.

"Young Master Qin, this is the carrier's backup control device, basically like a remote control. Also, I've opened up some permissions, so you can use it to operate some weapons."

Qin Ning nodded upon hearing this, took the tablet, and looked at it. The screen displayed surveillance from various angles of the carrier, clearly showing the surrounding situation and environment, and could zoom in and out.

On the left and right sides of the screen, there were various control buttons, looking just like playing a game.

"Mr. Qin, can you let me operate it? Over the years, our Great Ming has suffered a lot from the harassment of these sea Japanese pirates. We've wanted to wipe them out for a long time!" Zhu Yuanzhang's face was filled with fervor.

"Sure."

Qin Ning didn't refuse, handing the tablet to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then taught him how to operate it.

The operation wasn't complicated, and Zhu Yuanzhang learned it quickly, immediately eager to try.

When the aerospace carrier was still fifty nautical miles away from the Japanese islands, he used the display screen to zoom in, then selected a location, and without hesitation, pressed a launch button.

The next moment, a missile soared into the sky. Moving at a speed countless times faster than the helicarrier, it struck somewhere on the island like a falling meteor.

A deafening boom echoed like thunder or the roar of a giant dragon, clearly audible even from fifty nautical miles away.

On the screen, when the smoke and dust cleared, nothing but absolute devastation remained in the footage. A small hill had been completely leveled by the blast.

The terrifying destructive power left Ying Zheng, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Li Shimin utterly dumbfounded.

"Wait, Old Zhu, you wasted a missile just to blow up an uninhabited barren hill?" Xia Fei could not help but ask.

"Ha, I just wanted to test its power beforehand, didn't I?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, however, spoke with a face full of excitement, "With the next shot, I will let those Japanese wretches on the island know the true meaning of heavenly punishment!"
