The explosion was deafening, and you could feel the ground shaking slightly.

The area where the explosion occurred was filled with smoke, and they had just seen the surrounding slabs vibrate through the glass.

"It looks like it's working quite well..."

"Indeed, the noise has stopped. Let's go take a look now."

"Let's go, buddy... wait, what's up with you?"

Alchemist Zanya, number two, tried to pull Alchemist Karen, number one, over, but found that her old friend was a little slow.

Looking back, I saw that my old friend had somehow gotten a piece of metal on his head.

If this were not a perfect life form, it would probably have been sent away immediately.

"It's nothing, just bad luck. I've had this before. At least this kind of minor injury won't affect my health."

The skull and scalp exerted force, squeezing out the metal plate, but there wasn't a drop of blood on it.

"Look, we're injured from this far away, and you're still planning to get a closer look? Do you really want us to piece you back together piece by piece?"

Karen glanced at Zanya, wondering if her old friend had really passed away...

Good grief, so they're going to have to play some super assembly game then?

After exchanging a few casual words, they arrived at the site of the earlier explosion, following Edward and the Emperor.

"The effect is powerful, incredibly powerful!"

What they saw was that the planks were completely broken, and not just the nearest one, but the next four or five were also broken.

As for iron plates and bricks?

The iron plate had been pierced through, and was covered with pits and marks, and had been blackened by smoke.

Those metal fragments were stuck in the second layer, having been penetrated.

The thick brick and stone walls were barely breached on the first layer, and the second layer only showed a few more marks.

"Gulp... Karen, tell me, how much explosives did we stuff in there?"

"If I remember correctly, it's about the same amount of explosives used by a single person in the military."

The old gunpowder, when thrown among enemy soldiers, could only kill the closest few.

The rest, thanks to teammates absorbing damage and the protection of fighting spirit and armor, are at most knocked back.

"Things are different now. One bomb could turn them into roast meat."

Edward looked at the marks on the ground; these were the results of their efforts over the past few days.

"It's pretty good, it's my type, but it's still not enough, its power could be stronger."

"If we replaced the gunpowder in the bullets with this kind, the bullet's power would probably be even greater, right?"

"Your Highness, that's for sure, but that means we'll need to modify the metal materials of the guns."

More powerful gunpowder requires better alloys to prevent it from exploding.

However, this is not a problem at all for alchemists.

The most amazing aspect of alchemy is its materials science.

Once the alchemy array is activated, the carbon content of the metal, the proportion of the alloy, the temperature required for synthesis, and so on can all be easily determined.

The work's tags were inexplicably changed by Yang Shizi. As you can see, it changed from "Urban Martial Arts" to "Eastern Fantasy".

It took me almost an hour to apply for this update, so the update is late. Sorry.
