moment.
There was a loud bang.
The power of the explosion was released instantly, and the impact swept everything around. The yellow sand in the pit was blown up more than ten meters high. The sound was deafening, the earth was shaking, and even the trees in the distance were trembling slightly. Even the surrounding air seemed to rise several degrees, and it was hot and scorching.
Before the cloud dissipated, the small piles of earth around the pit fell down one after another.
The scene was filled with flying yellow sand and smoke.
Wei Mingyuan's pupils suddenly shrank as he felt an extremely violent impact. Although he was mentally prepared, the power was still far beyond his expectations.
With this magical weapon, the Wei family army will be invincible whether dealing with zombies or enemies.
"It's still not powerful enough."
Wei Xiyin shook her head as she walked toward the edge of the pit, only to see that the bottom had grown another half meter deeper and thick smoke was still billowing out. She said to Cookie, "Look, the killing range is too small. If it were facing a city-wide zombie horde, it would be no more effective than a fire cart."
Cookie said helplessly, "Didn't I tell you that the newly developed explosives will take a few days to show their effectiveness? You'll know when you come over and take a look."
Wei Mingyuan remained silent.
"We're running out of time. We'll have to leave once the second group of scouts returns. Even if the power is significantly increased, we won't be able to produce much in such a short time."
It took so long to find a ready-made recipe to make 200 explosives.
As she spoke, she turned to look at Wei Mingyuan and found that something seemed to be wrong with her third uncle.
"Uncle San, what's wrong?"
Wei Mingyuan remained calm and composed, showing no signs of abnormality. "Nothing's wrong. Uncle seems to have been very powerful. With these explosives, our chances of winning are greatly increased."
No wonder Wu Niang dared to intervene in the civil unrest in Zhongshan before the Wei family army returned. It turned out that she had such powerful weapons in her hands.
Wei Xiyin agreed, "That's right! It might not be powerful enough, but it will definitely be very useful for blowing open the city gate."
She didn't believe that the city gate of Zhongren County could withstand dozens of explosives.
Wei Mingyuan was silent, feeling that his niece's ideas were very different from his own...
After witnessing the power of gunpowder, he had a plan in mind and was just waiting for the scouts to report back.
The three of them walked back.
It's getting late.
Wei Xiyin had no plans to go back tonight, so she said goodbye to her third uncle at the gate of Shilin Village.
Wei Mingyuan paused and asked, "Wu Niang stayed because of that mutated... zombie?"
"Yes," Wei Xiyin admitted. "Mr. Chu should be here soon. This mutant zombie is very strange. We must find out its strength as soon as possible to avoid being caught off guard when encountering the same situation in the future."
Wei Mingyuan nodded and said, "You are right. We should be on guard. Then uncle will go back and tell the clan leader for you."
"Thank you, Third Uncle!"
Wei Xiyin watched them leave before returning to Shilin Village with Qu Qi.
Cookie couldn't help but sigh, "This uncle of yours is truly remarkable. He's not afraid of the imperial court's orders, nor the monsters' rampage, and he led his troops back from thousands of miles away. I truly admire him."
Wei Xiyin raised her eyebrows, feeling proud, "Of course."
It's time to get off work.
The others went downstairs to rest early. The Feng brothers packed up their things in the house and stored all the materials and semi-finished products in different warehouses. Then they locked the door with the key, checked to make sure everything was fine, and then left the workshop and locked the outer door again.
"Everyone lives in Shilin Village now, so it's more convenient here."
Seeing her staring at the workshop door, Cookie explained, "There are strict requirements for the storage of each item. Everything must be stored separately. The Feng brothers are aware of the dangers and are very careful. They check everything before leaving. After all, this is no joke. If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid the whole village will be razed to the ground."
Wei Xiyin praised: "That's how it should be."
She looked around again and remembered that the young man who had been following Cookie was gone, so she asked casually.
"The girl is asking about Ah Niu?"
Cookie said, "He's a bit clumsy and not suitable for developing explosives."
"But after following me for a long time, he became very skilled in my work, so I arranged for him to accompany Cheng Qing in mining for raw materials, and occasionally run back and forth to help transport some things."
The last time they met, Cookie sent him to the research institute to get information.
Wei Xiyin stopped talking after hearing that. She added a sentence, saying that Mr. Biscuit could give a long answer, so it would be better for him to speak less.
The two of them went to the main room and sat down, waiting for dinner.
There is no public kitchen here, but we still eat in a big pot.
More than a dozen village houses were renovated, and another one was connected to serve as a public kitchen, where several guards who could cook started to make fire and cook.
Because the girl is here today, the guard rarely hulls and cooks the wheat.
Wei Xiyin sat there with nothing to do, so she simply looked through the letter that Gong Liulang had someone bring back.
When she and her third uncle left home, she put the letter in her pocket and had no time to check it.
The content of the letter stated the progress of mineral mining there and expressed his concern about whether there was enough water in her fort. He had discovered an underground water source on the mountain in Fuyang and asked her not to send anyone to deliver water there next time.
It's a long and rambling article, but it seems to be full of irrelevant things.
end.
Gong Liulang mentioned Zhang Yuanyan separately and asked if there was any news about other Yizhou troops. He suggested that she investigate the Yizhou troops as soon as possible.
Wei Xiyin pondered his words carefully. Gong Chun's implication seemed to indicate that he was certain that Gong Changjun was dead.
She thought about it, asked for paper and pen, and quickly wrote a reply without hiding from him the fact that she had sent scouts to Guangping.
By the time we finished dinner, it was already dark outside.
Chu Yu came over hurriedly.
