After the court session, she and Qing Xing came to the Pepper Room to write. Three quarters of an hour ago, they did hear an explosion in the city.
But because of the distance, she didn't really care.
Now when I heard Zhao Wenxiang talk about it, I immediately remembered it.
Could it be that the sound came from the Neishi Yamen?
Zhao Wenxiang said: "Your Majesty, that sound was made by the explosion of the thunder bomb."
Jiang Wan'er took a deep breath and asked anxiously, "Lord Zhao, where is the thunder bomb you mentioned? Did you bring it with you?"
Zhao Wenxiang said, "Your Majesty, there are ten bombs in total. I just tested one in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There are nine left. I have brought all of them here. Please test them yourself."
Jiang Wan'er said excitedly, "Okay, Lord Zhao, I'll leave it to you to arrange it. Carry out another experiment immediately. I want to see it with my own eyes."
Zhao Wenxiang said: "Your Majesty, the experiment needs to be carried out in a fairly open area!"
Jiang Wan'er pondered for a while and said, "My dear Zhao, let's go to my imperial garden. It's spacious enough!"
Zhao Wenxiang nodded, and everyone walked out of the Pepper House and headed towards the Imperial Garden.
Two eunuchs carefully carried the wooden box and found a spacious enough place in the imperial garden.
Zhao Wenxiang asked one of the young eunuchs to open the wooden box and take out a bomb.
Seeing that the thunder bomb was a wine jar, Jiang Wan'er immediately frowned.
"Lord Zhao, is this the thunderbolt?"
Zhao Wenxiang said quickly: "Your Majesty, this is indeed a thunder bomb. Your Majesty will know how powerful it is later."
Jiang Wan'er was skeptical and asked, "Lord Zhao, can we just light the fuse with a fire stick?"
Zhao Wenxiang nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right, but when the fire is lit, no one can be around, and the person in charge of lighting it must leave immediately after it is lit."
Jiang Wan'er understood and said, "Okay, let's get started."
Zhao Wenxiang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Please ask someone to find a few strands of thin hemp rope and some paper to connect to the fuse."
Jiang Wan'er asked in confusion: "Lord Zhao, why is this happening?"
Zhao Wenxiang explained, "I dare not deceive your majesty. When I was conducting the experiment in the Internal History Office just now, I did not understand the burning speed of the fuse, so the person who lit the fuse did not escape to a safe distance in time and died!"
Jiang Wan'er was shocked when she heard this: "What? Is this true?"
Zhao Wenxiang said: "Your Majesty, this thing must have just been researched, and the researchers were not sure about the burning speed of the fuse, so the accident happened."
Jiang Wan'er nodded and ordered someone to bring paper and hemp rope.
Zhao Wenxiang instructed the young eunuch to tear the paper into long strips and then roll them into thin paper ropes.
Finally, the hemp rope was carefully wrapped around the paper rope in the middle and tied to the fuse of the bomb.
This was an idea he came up with on the spur of the moment, and he felt it should be useful.
In this way, the fuse was extended more than ten feet. After Zhao Wenxiang measured it himself, he nodded with satisfaction.
He walked up to Jiang Wan'er and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, you can start the experiment now. Let's stay away."
Jiang Wan'er nodded, and then followed Zhao Wenxiang to a distance of thirty feet.
Zhao Wenxiang looked back and still felt uneasy, so he asked Jiang Wan'er to retreat a distance. They only stopped when they had walked almost forty feet.
He shouted to the young eunuch, "Eunuch, you can light the fuse now. Remember to run away immediately after lighting it!"
The young eunuch agreed, blew gently on the fire stick, and then lit the fuse.
Hiss hiss hiss…
The fuse began to burn, and because it was made of hemp rope and paper, it burned quite quickly.
Seeing the fuse burning quickly and gradually becoming shorter, everyone's expressions became nervous.
As the fuse burned out, a loud bang was heard by everyone.
Then everyone saw that a deep pit appeared almost instantly where the thunder bomb exploded.
The sound was so loud that it hurt their ears, and the mighty air waves seemed to be transmitted to everyone. It was simply terrifying.
Jiang Wan'er's beautiful eyes widened, she swallowed hard, then rubbed her eyes hard, still unable to believe what was happening before her eyes.
Qing Xing, as well as a group of maids and eunuchs standing by, all covered their ears tightly at this moment, and some of the younger ones even wet their clothes.
Some were so frightened that they could not stand and collapsed to the ground.
Jiang Wan'er was also frightened and her heart was trembling. Fortunately, the maid Qing Xing was there to support her arm, so she managed to stabilize herself.
Even Zhao Wenxiang was quite shocked.
The previous experiment in the Neishi Yamen had such a huge impact on him that he didn’t even have time to watch the whole process carefully before it was overturned.
Having witnessed with his own eyes the terrifying power of the thunder bomb explosion, the shock in his heart not only did not decrease, but increased!
He took a deep breath, thinking that his bastard son had really created a weapon of destruction that could destroy the world.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Wan'er finally came back to her senses. She quickly looked at Zhao Wenxiang and asked, "Lord Zhao, who made this thing?"
She had completely understood why Zhao Wenxiang said that once this bomb was equipped in the army, it could turn the tide of the war in an instant. This was even more terrifying than what Zhao Wenxiang said.
If the Gan country's army had this thing, why would they need to be afraid of those barbarians?
No matter how many come, we will surely destroy them all!
Zhao Wenxiang had already thought about the whole process before coming. When he heard Jiang Wan'er asking about it, he secretly said, "Here I come."
