Chapter 583 New Type of Gunpowder
"Bang!!!"
“Boom!!”
A loud noise echoed in the mountains and forests, and a huge rock that was as tall as a person trembled violently, and then broke into countless pieces of rubble.
Dozens of large trees around also trembled, and the yellow leaves that refused to fall all winter finally fluttered down, mixed with the sand and gravel in the sky, and rolled in all directions.
"cough!"
“Cough cough cough!”
The onlookers all covered their mouths and noses with their hands, but their eyes were filled with excitement as they watched the scene.
That's right.
This is the "test explosion site" of the new type of gunpowder that was just developed by the Tiangong Bureau.
The new year began with the earth-shaking sound of firecrackers.
"Sir! What do you think?"
Beside him, the Minister of Industry, who was in charge of all matters of the Tiangong Bureau, said excitedly, "This new explosive is three or four times more powerful than the previous one!"
"As long as the equivalent is high enough, even a mid-level third-rank warrior can be killed!"
"Even if there is only one cup of it, the detonation will be enough to kill ordinary soldiers!"
"Such power can be used on the battlefield to great effect! Then we will be able to catch the thieves off guard."
The old man with dry skin was spitting all over the place and talking excitedly.
He praised this "new gunpowder" so highly not for the sake of taking credit, but because he really felt that this thing could play a role in the upcoming war.
As for whether it met Wei Changtian's expectations, "Well, not bad."
The three words he uttered calmly showed that Wei Changtian was not particularly satisfied with the power of the new gunpowder.
He looked at the scene after the explosion from afar, recalling the equivalent of that huge barrel of gunpowder.
It just feels so-so!
Although it is true as the Minister of Works said, as long as the equivalent is enough, this thing should be able to kill a third-rank warrior.
But how much is enough?
If that's the case, then the previous gunpowder could also do the job, but the required amount would be larger.
What’s the point of ants killing an elephant? What I want is to exchange an ant for an elephant.
Forget it.
It's good to be progressive.
Besides, even with its current power, it is almost enough for large-scale use in war.
"Lord Min."
Turning his head to look at the Minister of Industry, Wei Changtian slowly asked: "How stable is this new gunpowder? Is it easy to transport?"
"Don't worry, sir. The Tiangong Bureau has already done the test on this matter."
Minister Min quickly replied: "As long as there is no open flame, there will be no problem no matter how much it is squeezed and thrown."
"And the Tiangong Bureau can also build a carriage specifically for transporting gunpowder, which will definitely reduce the risk to a minimum!"
"OK."
Nodding, Wei Changtian pondered for a moment and then ordered: "In this case, immediately send more people to start mass production of this new gunpowder."
"There is no upper limit for now. We will produce as many babies as we can while ensuring safety."
"In addition, research and development cannot stop. We must continue to try to formulate new gunpowder formulas with greater power, and we must continue to build steam engines."
"These are the keys to whether we can repel the thieves in the future!"
"Yes! I understand!"
There was a strong smell of saltpeter and sulfur in the wind. Upon hearing this, Minister Min immediately bowed and accepted the order.
He glanced at Wei Changtian who seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked in a low voice:
"Master Wei, this new gunpowder has not yet been named, so please..."
"casual."
Wei Changtian was too lazy to think about these things, and said casually: "If it doesn't work, just call it black powder."
"yes!"
"Well, you guys clean up here, His Majesty and I will leave first."
"Farewell, young master!"
"Farewell, Your Majesty!"
“.”
Amid the shouts, Wei Changtian and Ning Yuke quickly left the "test explosion site" together and went to the workshop set up by the Tiangong Bureau deep in the mountains.
And Qingxian has been following the two of them.
"Master Wei, the power of this black gunpowder is terrifying."
There was some surprise in her beautiful eyes, and it seemed that Qingxian was not going to say anything polite.
In the opinion of this demon king, or most people, only warriors can kill warriors.
However, the emergence of "black powder" means the birth of another extremely lethal force besides "internal force".
And this power can be used by anyone.
This is really scary.
Because this means that the gap between "practitioners" and "ordinary people" is being greatly narrowed.
The former is no longer a superior existence, and the latter also has the means to break through the "innate barrier".
If the Tiangong Bureau really develops firearms such as muskets and cannons in the future, even if it cannot completely overturn the current power system, it will definitely greatly change the world.
Even if a new school of practice like "Mohism" or "Gunpowder School" is born, it is hard to say.
Of course, this all happened a long time ago.
For a war that is already imminent, it would be good enough to cause certain casualties in the simplest way through black gunpowder.
“.”
"It's OK. The power is actually less than I expected."
Riding a large chestnut horse on the mountain road, Wei Changtian turned his head to look at Qing Xian who was also riding a horse.
There was another sedan following behind the two of them, with Ning Yuke sitting inside.
Without continuing to discuss the issue of black gunpowder, Wei Changtian reined in his horse and moved towards Qingxian, lowering his voice and asking:
"Senior Qingxian, the matter of Tianling"
"Oh, I have already taught all the skills to Ning Nuwa."
Qing Xian knew what he was going to ask, so he didn't hide it: "Ms. Ning practices every day. At this rate, she will be able to achieve mastery in half a year."
"Really? That means."
Wei Changtian looked back at the imperial sedan chair, his expression unchanged: "Half a year later, as long as she is willing, she can transform into a celestial spirit at any time?"
"yes."
“.”
Half a year later, as long as Ning Yuke wanted, she would be able to become an immortal "fairy".
Not only can he succeed Qingxian as the Demon King, but he will also possess the strength of a second-grade demon.
But the price is that she will forget all memories except "Tian Ling" Although Ning Yuke had previously stated that she would not be so anxious to become a Tian Ling, but would obey Wei Changtian's wishes.
But at that time the decision is still in her hands.
If she really wants to change, no one can stop her.
"Okay, I understand."
Nodding silently, Wei Changtian asked in a low voice: "No problems have occurred so far, right?"
"No."
Qingxian shook his head: "According to Ning Nuwa herself, apart from the occasional sudden itching, everything else is normal."
"Itchy?"
Wei Changtian was a little confused: "Is this normal?"
"I don't know. After all, the people and monsters I found before can only feel pain. Even if there is an itch, they can't feel it."
Qing Xian didn't seem to be worried: "Don't worry, sir. As long as Miss Ning can bear the itch, nothing should go wrong."
"Okay."
A breeze blew through the woods, and Wei Changtian didn't ask any more questions.
Itchy. Could it be that because Ning Yuke has no sense of pain, it turns into an itchy feeling? But she has never mentioned it to me.
That being said, I can bear it. (End of this chapter)
