You must know that the first prince had just gotten out of her bed when he gave her to someone else and took her to a deserted residence.

She knew that the general was the eldest prince's uncle, and everything the general did was to prepare for the eldest prince to ascend to that position.

But she had a question, that is, even if a prince as selfish and cowardly as the eldest prince got that position, could he really sit firmly on the throne?

She didn't know the answer, but she was very clear about one thing, that is, she was the eldest prince's person. No matter what the eldest prince did, she had to stand on his side and hold on to the eldest prince's big tree tightly.

Only in this way can she live a better life in the future. The most urgent task is to develop the explosives first.

"Miss Shen, we've tried it thousands of times as you said, and it hasn't worked once. Is it true that the explosives you're talking about don't exist in the world?"

Shen Yu was thinking about how to solve the current predicament and develop explosives when she heard someone questioning her. She looked up and saw an old man in his teens.

The other party was someone sent by the general. He said that he had been playing with fireworks and firecrackers all his life and his skills were impeccable.

Shen Yu had no doubts about this, and even hoped very much that what the general said was true, because the more experienced and capable the other party was, the more likely he would help develop explosives.

However, she had been working non-stop for more than ten days since she entered the military camp, but there had been no progress at all, and she was still standing still. She was extremely anxious.

Even so, she had no way to change the current situation, because she only knew the three types of explosives, but didn't know the specific ratios or how to make them.

If she had known she would encounter such a thing, she would have searched the Internet for the specific process of making explosives and memorized it by rote before traveling through time, so that she would not be in the dark and conduct experiments blindly now.

Once, twice, over and over again, but even if she knew that the hope was slim, she would never dare to say that she couldn't do it.

After all, she had boasted to the general before that there would be no problem, but just over ten days later, she said that the explosives could not be made. She believed that what was waiting for her would definitely be the general's wrath.

Although she was no longer the eldest prince's woman, she felt that the general would never spare her life out of consideration for her feelings.

How could she change her fate? She was the most noble woman in the Great Zhou.

No, she would never allow herself to do that, but her current situation was very bad. For her mother's sake, she had to find a way to develop gunpowder as soon as possible.

Only if she actually developed gunpowder and brought it to the general, would she have the bargaining chip to make the general and the prince realize her importance and not give up on her easily.

Another point is that she has more advanced knowledge in her mind. With these, she believes that the eldest prince will definitely hold her in his heart in the future.

But everything looks good in her mind. If gunpowder cannot be developed, her life may be in danger, so how can she have a future?

Thinking of this, Shen Yu made up her mind again. No matter what, gunpowder must be invented by her men.

Shen Yu straightened his mind and looked at the old man in front of him again, with a determination to win in his eyes.

She assured the old man, "Master Yang, the world is vast and full of wonders. Just because you haven't seen them doesn't mean they don't exist. I've personally witnessed the power of explosives. At the very least, they can injure a large number of people, and at worst, they can blow apart a mountain. They can be used to create a weapon with immense destructive power. If such a thing were to become available, it would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar. Something this important cannot be easily developed. We've already identified three key ingredients in explosives. All we need to do now is conduct extensive experiments to find the most suitable ratio. Only then can we truly introduce explosives into the world."
