Furnace explosion!
This was clearly beyond the scope of pills!
In this dynasty, other than the pills made from medicinal herbs like Xia Wuqie's, there was also this pill that Zhao Gao had brought.
There were two types of pills.
The ordinary ones were the ones that Ying Wei fed to the fish, and the high-grade ones were the ones in Shi Huang's hands.
Those ordinary pills were actually somewhat similar to pills to a certain extent. Basically, they were all added with Chinese medicinal herbs, and only a small amount of metal was added.
Although the medicinal herbs they chose basically had the effect of consolidating the foundation, no one knew if adding a small amount of metal could prolong life or die early.
However, in this era where even the First Emperor was looking for the Elixir of Immortality, things like this had already been refined and destroyed.
After all, compared to the pill that was refined purely from the pill furnace, which was the pill with heavy metal in the First Emperor's hand, it was indeed much simpler to refine a pill with a little metal added.
Those who were more serious might even boil the medicinal herbs and metal together before kneading them into a ball.
For those who were not particular, he could directly add some water to the powder and metal, and then sell it after it was formed!
Most of the necromancers in this world basically refined such ordinary pills to earn money.
After all, although this pill had a small amount of metal added to it, most of it was still medicinal herbs. There might be some harm in eating it for a long time, but it would not be obvious in the short term.
However, even though the heavy metal in Shi Huang's hand was poisonous, it had an extremely noble status in this era.
Only ordinary people could not eat it.
The main reason was that the refinement of this kind of medicinal pill was much more difficult compared to ordinary medicinal pills.
To put it bluntly, this thing was actually refined from heavy metal.
However, the raw materials needed to refine the pill were rare. In addition, a special pill furnace was needed. Moreover, because gunpowder was needed, not only was it difficult to refine the pill, but it was also very easy for the furnace to explode.
The most important thing was that even if you refined a complete batch of medicinal pills, the appearance of the medicinal pills might not be bright enough or not smooth enough due to the heat or other reasons.
For all these reasons, this kind of heavy metal pill became a good thing that could not be bought with a thousand gold.
Ying Wei was speechless when he heard the news.
Fortunately, the raw materials were hard to find. Otherwise, wouldn't it be something that every household could eat?
At that time, no one would need to do anything. From the First Emperor to the beggar, they would all have to quietly go to see the King of Hell!
Of course, even though he was very clear about the dangers of this heavy metal, if he said it rashly, no one would believe it. The most important thing was that it was very likely that the first emperor would believe it.
After all, this pill contained a large amount of heavy metals and chemical elements. Eating too many of them would have the effect of refreshing one's mind.
To put it bluntly, this thing was actually no different from something like Big Smoke.
After eating too much, other than refreshing one's mind, one would become addicted and eventually empty one's body.
Although this was a kind of harm to the human body, people living in this dynasty obviously did not think so.
After all, there was a lot of metal in the Five Stones Powder, but wasn't it also something that could save lives?
If they could even eat the most popular Five Stones Powder in Great Qin, why would they be worried about pills made from such heavy metals?
However, in fact, besides being addictive, pills made from such heavy metals also contained various heavy metal components. Eating too much of them would only cause irreversible harm to the body and eventually lead to death!
Speaking of which, it was not strange that the First Emperor only wanted to live forever. Not to mention the emperor, in all the dynasties, who did not want to live forever if they had some money and power?
However, if they were to rely on this kind of medicinal pill refined from heavy metal, it was unknown whether there would be other dangers, but it was certain that their lifespan would be reduced!
Fortunately, these ingredients were hard to find. In addition, this pill formula was still in the process of being explored. The fire control and other various problems needed to be careful, making this pill extremely difficult to refine.
Otherwise, how could the First Emperor have lived for ten years?
The First Emperor's workload in a day was already huge. In the past two years, it was also because of his supervision by his side that his work and rest schedule became more regular.
Although Ying Wei didn't know how long the First Emperor's regular lifestyle would last, he was sure that if he ate this pill that contained heavy metals, the body that the First Emperor had spent the past two years to recuperate would definitely be crippled.
Zhao Gao had just said that he had already blown up the furnace several times in order to refine this thing.
Therefore, this thing looked quite shiny, but it was obviously inedible.
The pills and elixirs mentioned before were still fine. Even if they were already on the streets, one was really used to treat illnesses and save lives. The other would not cause any harm in the short term.
But this time, he was not in the mood to eat the heavy metal!
Eating too much of this stuff would definitely kill you!
However, with the status of the First Emperor, how could he be willing to keep eating those kinds of pills that were common on the streets?
He was the greatest emperor in history, so the food he ate was naturally different from the rest.
but
The damage that heavy metal could cause to the human body was completely irreversible!
"Daddy, Zhu 'er's little fish is going to die!”
Just as Emperor Shi raised his hand and was about to swallow the " heavy metal ", Ying Wei, who looked like he was about to cry, ran in with a fish tank full of murky water.
Inside the fish tank was a little goldfish with a white belly.
As soon as he said this, Shi Huang decisively put down the reflective pill in his hand.
Ying Wei didn't see the appearance of the pill just now.
F * ck!
It was even reflecting light, and the bright heavy metal had exceeded the standard!
To put it bluntly, this thing was like a mushroom. The more beautiful it was, the more it could poison you silently!
Qin Shi Huang was obviously hesitating after being interrupted by him.
This had nothing to do with what Ying Wei said.
The main reason was that he didn't think too much about it just now. He felt that since Zhao Gao brought this pill over, it must have been tested by someone and confirmed that it was fine.
However, with the little fellow's interruption, the pill that was supposed to enter his mouth was placed down in his hand.
Although this pill was the only one that had been refined for a few months, and it had gone through an extremely strict medicinal testing process before it was presented to him.
However, because the First Emperor had not yet reached the point of extreme obsession and madness towards immortality, he still did not trust such things.
Nonsense.
If he trusted him, the pill would have already fallen into Ying Wei's mouth by the time he spoke.
