These so-called mines are made of clay pots and filled with black powder mixed with iron sand.
Considering the insufficient power of black gunpowder, Wang Dong deliberately enlarged the size of the clay pot when he had it fired, making it similar in size to basketballs in later generations.
A mine this large, even if made of black powder, would cause a deafening explosion. Add to that the flying iron sand, and its power cannot be underestimated.
