Uncover the mystery of Qinshihuang's Alchemy

In fact, every ancient emperor had a common wish that he could live forever. As the first emperor in history to complete the reunification of the whole country, Qin Shihuang certainly had this wish of immortality. So the plan of refining the elixir of immortality started. In fact, everyone in ancient times was superstitious, so some people who claimed to be able to refine the elixir would be very favored by the emperor. Anyway, the emperor would not care whether the elixir had the function of immortality, especially in the early days. Did Qin Shihuang ever train Dan?

As we all know, after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he wanted to find all the famous people in the world to refine the elixir so that he could live forever. However, Qin Shihuang did not see what the elixir looked like until he died. Many people said that if Qin Shihuang had not died so early, the Qin Dynasty would not have been destroyed so soon. However, in this view, even if Ying Zheng was in power, the Qin Dynasty would not have been destroyed It won't last long.

Emperor Qin Shihuang once sent Xu Fu to the east to search for the legendary immortal for the elixir. However, Xu Fu never came back. Some people said that he was the ancestor of Japan. Others said that Xu Fu found the elixir himself and took it himself. But these are all legends. No one knows what happened.

Not only that, after asking Xu Fu to seek immortality, Qin Shihuang also found many alchemists to refine elixirs for him, so that he could live forever and then sit in the position of the ruler forever. It has to be said that Qin Shihuang was greedy, but his purpose was also illusory. Maybe he didn't believe it, but he still had some hope in his heart.

However, it is unknown whether the fairy is finished or not. It is just like the legend that it was buried in the simultaneous interpreting of the Palace of the Earth, or that Qin Shihuang was cheated. This remains to be verified. We can only give our archaeologists the most accurate answer.
