“Boom!”

Another cannon shot rang out, shaking the field.

The people in Jinguan City had long been accustomed to these noises. When they heard the sound, only some of them looked up or turned their heads to look in the direction where the sound came from, without even stopping the work in their hands.

Even the chickens and ducks raised in the tribe, as well as the dogs scattered around the tribe, did not feel the slightest panic. They continued to do what they were supposed to do.

After such a long time, the species living in Jinguan City have become accustomed to these sounds.

…

“Boom!”

An extremely loud roar was heard, and many stones flew out in the smoke.

Looking at the many broken stones that appeared before their eyes as the cannon sounded, everyone present was stunned!

It was a late summer morning in the Tieshan residential area. The tranquility unique to the early morning was broken by the loud explosion.

People who saw something as powerful as gunpowder for the first time were stunned, just like the people of the Jinguancheng tribe who saw the power of gunpowder for the first time.

After standing here for a while, someone couldn't help but gasp!

Even the second senior brother, a veteran figure in the tribe who was left by Han Cheng to take charge of the situation in Tieshan residential area, was also stunned at this moment.

After a while, he looked frightened and spoke to Han Cheng with some undisguised excitement: "Son of God, how come this thing is so powerful?"

…

“Boom!”

Another sound was heard, and the birds perched nearby flapped their wings and flew away in panic.

Amid the smoke of gunpowder, the second brother couldn't help but beam with joy.

"Son of God, this is really a good thing! If an enemy comes over, I will light this thing and throw it out with all my strength. Throw it near them. After it explodes, even if I can't crush them, I can still scare them half to death!"

The second senior brother, who had just lit a bomb with his own hands and threw it far away, heard the loud noise, looked at the smoke that had not yet dissipated in front of him, and said to Han Cheng excitedly.

Han Cheng smiled and nodded, then shook his head.

“These explosive packs are very useful for blowing up the caves of hostile tribes, but it is inappropriate to throw them outside.

On the one hand, this thing is too big and not easy to throw. On the other hand, the explosive pack itself is not strong enough. Once thrown out, it will easily fall to the ground and break.

Moreover, although the impact force generated by its explosion is not small, it is still a little less powerful.

If its outer shell was changed to one that would not break when thrown away, but the gunpowder inside could explode and shatter it, then its power would be incredible.

Not to mention the sound and impact produced by the explosion, just the fragments that shatter and fly around due to the explosion of gunpowder can cause great damage!

It is possible that people who are close or unlucky will be directly penetrated by the flying fragments!

And this is exactly where the real killer move and power of this weapon lies."

Han Cheng said this to his second senior brother.

After hearing what Han Cheng said, the second senior brother suddenly had many aspirations in his heart.

"Son of God, it would be great if something like this could be made. It would be best if it could be made lighter so that I can throw it out with a slingshot. If there really is an enemy coming, I will lead people to use the slingshot to throw this weapon out with all my strength, first at that person, and after it hits that person, it will explode and kill those people..."

The second brother said this excitedly, and as he spoke he couldn't help but get excited.

This guy had obviously already pictured this wonderful scene in his mind.

Seeing this, Han Cheng couldn't help but want to laugh, but also felt a little emotional.

This guy, Second Brother, now has some white hair on his head.

However, some things have not disappeared in the passing years.

For example, in terms of attacking the enemy's enthusiasm...

"That's right."

After Han Cheng came over for a while, he seemed to remember something and spoke to his second senior brother.

"Gunpowder is something that is extremely powerful and lethal. It is very useful to the tribe, but it is also extremely dangerous. It needs to be well preserved and the formula must be kept secret to the greatest extent possible.

Especially based on the technology of the original ordinary gunpowder, a better gunpowder was produced.

When mining, tasks such as placing gunpowder and lighting fires cannot be done by slaves in the tribe. They must be done by citizens in the tribe. The slaves only need to carry stones and screen ore.

Slaves in the tribe are not allowed to touch gunpowder and other things. Even the third-level citizens in the tribe are not allowed to touch them. Only citizens of the second level or above can touch these things.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that everyone above the second-level citizen level can have access to these things. We need to select those who are capable, confident, and passionate about this matter to do this and conduct in-depth research…”

Han Cheng explained things carefully to his second senior brother.

This matter needs to be explained clearly. Gunpowder is indeed too important.

And the power is really too great!

Han Cheng himself would feel uneasy if he didn't impose strict restrictions.

Especially when there are slaves in the tribe.

If a slave was unhappy and harbored many dissatisfactions towards the tribe, and he also had control of something like gunpowder, he would risk his life and secretly blow up some important places and important people in the tribe. The consequences would be so chilling that one would have to be extremely careful just by imagining them.

Han Cheng's explanation was so serious that the second brother couldn't help but become serious as well.

Thinking back to the power of gunpowder he had seen in the past two days, the second brother nodded more solemnly.

This thing is indeed just as the Son of God said, it is too important and dangerous. It concerns the property and personal safety of the tribe. I really need to be extremely careful...

At an iron furnace in the Tieshan residential area, craftsmen from several tribes are pouring some red-hot molten iron just out of the furnace into a row of molds.

After a busy period, some fist-sized iron shells with hollow centers appeared here.

The shape of the iron shell is somewhat similar to an edible vegetable called Buddha's hand, but it is more like the hand grenades that are often seen in later anti-Japanese war film and television dramas.

In fact, what these people are making now are indeed the shells of grenades.

The graphics were naturally obtained from Han Cheng, the Son of God.

…

"Stand behind this earth wall and throw it. After throwing it out, immediately hide your body behind the earth wall. Don't show your head."

Behind a thick earth wall rammed with mud, Han Cheng said this to his second senior brother in a serious tone.

The second brother nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood, and then used a fire starter to light the fuse of something in his hand.

After lighting it, he immediately threw it far away with force.

And just as Han Cheng said, after throwing the thing out, he crouched down without any hesitation and hid himself behind the thick earth wall.

A moment later, a loud roar was heard.

After the roar lasted for about two or three seconds, Han Chengcai and his second senior brother stood up from behind the earth wall and went to check the results.

The results were not very good.

The sound just now was loud and the explosion was thorough.

But the iron shell was not blown open.

If this result is just for listening, it is indeed a great thing because you can continue to use it.

But this obviously did not match what Han Cheng had in mind.

In Han Cheng's mind, this iron shell would be able to explode with the sound of the explosion.

This will increase the power of the grenade and increase its lethality exponentially.

The iron shell is in this state now, and it is obviously not going to work.

"Go back and light up the remaining grenades one by one and throw them out to see if any of them work."

Han Cheng held the unexploded grenade shell in his hand, looked at it for a while, and then said this to his second senior brother.

Then the two of them returned to the back of the wall together.

Then, not long after, a series of noises were heard.

After the noises stopped, Han Cheng and his second senior brother went out from behind the earth wall again to check the results.

The results were not good.

There were a total of twenty grenades, fourteen of which were intact, and the remaining five were torn into pieces by the explosions.

There was only one piece that was actually blown up and had some iron pieces fall off.

Moreover, the fragments that broke off from the grenade shell only flew half a meter away and did not have much power.

This was undoubtedly a complete failure.

Han Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this. When he was smelting iron in the past, he was always worried that the quality of the iron was not good enough and not durable enough.

But now, I am troubled by the fact that the quality of the iron is too good...

"See if we can make the iron more brittle, to the point where it won't break when thrown out, but the gunpowder inside can explode and blow the shell of the grenade apart."

Here in Tieshan residential area, after inspecting the quality of the grenade shells, Han Cheng and his second senior brother came to an iron smelting furnace together and gave these instructions to the people who were currently focusing on making grenade shells, stating their latest requirements.

After a few people understood Han Cheng's requirements, they opened a small notebook and took a look at it, and then quickly started a new round of iron smelting.

By this time, the people in the tribe had some experience in iron smelting...

Time passed little by little, and the planted rice grew bigger, headed, bloomed, and bore fruit day by day. It became fuller day by day and gradually turned golden.

When the autumn wind blows, the sound of rustling branches and leaves can be heard.

Some people have already started rolling up their trouser legs, holding sickles in their hands, and beheading the heavy rice ears one by one.

“Boom!”

It was at this time that in the Tieshan residential area, where smoke often rose, some smoke rose again, and in contrast, there were several consecutive roars.

Behind the earth wall, Han Cheng, his second senior brother and two other people stood up and headed towards the place filled with smoke.

After a while, several people arrived here.

The place looked very messy. Many pits were blown out on the ground, and some soil was also lifted up and scattered on the side.

Of course, in addition to these, there are also some broken iron slag.

Looking at the obviously fewer pieces of broken iron on the ground, and after finding some broken iron pieces among the surrounding trees and further away, Han Cheng, his second senior brother and others couldn't help but smile brightly.

Among them, the two technical talents who have been working hard on the grenade shells for more than two months are extremely excited!

During these days, they themselves couldn't remember how many times they had failed, and they couldn't remember how much suffering they had endured.

Now, finally, all the hard work paid off and I got the desired result!

How could they not be excited when faced with something like this?

One of them, after being slapped on the shoulder by the Son of God, couldn't help but shed tears...

"Meh~"

The bleating of sheep could be heard outside the earth wall, along with the crowing of chickens.

"boom!"

A loud explosion followed, and the cries of the animals suddenly became even more shrill.

However, the cries of some animals suddenly stopped.

Han Cheng and his second senior brother walked out from behind the earth wall and came to the place where the explosion had just occurred.

Han Cheng bent down and picked up a chicken that was blown to pieces. Then he looked at the sheep tied there, bleeding and wailing, which was obviously going to die soon. He nodded involuntarily.

This grenade filled with the latest gunpowder is quite powerful.

Even a sheep with skin would be killed by such a powerful blow, let alone a human whose skin is far weaker than that of a sheep!

Up to now, the grenades in the tribe cannot be said to be fully developed, but they can be considered to be somewhat well developed.

At least we can get involved in actual combat.

This is an epoch-making feat for the tribe!

Here in the Tieshan residential area, there was a joyful atmosphere, and sumptuous meals were prepared and laid out for everyone to eat and drink.

Among them, two people were the most conspicuous and sat in the most conspicuous place, accompanied by the Son of God and the second senior brother, the leader of the Tieshan residential area.

Moreover, the food placed in front of the two of them looked more abundant than the food placed in front of ordinary people. It was cooked by Han Cheng, the Son of God himself.

To commend them!

Everyone looked at this scene and felt extremely envious.

But no one thought that these two people should not enjoy such treatment.

After all, they had witnessed the power of grenades with their own eyes!
