Once everything was ready, at a command, the gunner pulled the trigger rope with all his might.
In an instant, the cannon roared and fired, the huge boom shaking the ground slightly, as if the earth itself was trembling at the sound of the roar.
The shell roared out like thunder, drawing an arc in the air, carrying destructive power, and accurately hitting the target.
In an instant, a cloud of dust and debris flew up at the target location, and the surrounding air seemed to be distorted by this powerful force.
The scene before them left everyone speechless with shock; some gaped, while others stared wide-eyed.
I was filled with admiration for the exquisite skills and ingenious ideas of the craftsmen in the Ministry of Works.
Qin Qianluo watched the muskets and cannons with great interest, her eyes filled with amazement at the wisdom of the ancients.
Just as she was about to turn and leave, the neatly arranged, square objects beside her attracted her attention like a magnet.
She paused for a moment, then a strong curiosity flashed in her eyes, and she involuntarily took steps toward the objects, each step filled with an eagerness to explore.
Upon approaching, she slowly crouched down, her movements gentle and deliberate, as if afraid of disturbing these mysterious objects.
She cautiously approached, carefully examining the objects, her gaze lingering on them, not missing a single detail.
Upon seeing this, she was shocked – these were actually the prototypes of cloth-packed explosives!
A complex expression appeared on Qin Qianluo's face, a mixture of surprise at the discovery and a longing for past memories.
She frowned slightly, her mind a jumble of thoughts, a chaotic jumble of ideas churning within her.
She pondered quietly for a moment, then whispered, "Rainbow Dash, did I give the Ministry of Works the recipe for this cloth-packed explosive?"
Feng Qingyun was originally observing the surrounding firearms with great interest through the light screen.
When her gaze fell upon the rudimentary shapes of the cloth-wrapped explosives, her eyes widened in astonishment.
After all, it was the "Militia Training Manual" that contained detailed records of various military knowledge, including information on explosives manufacturing.
It is still safely kept in their hands and has not been handed over to the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works at all.
But now, the prototypes of these cloth-wrapped explosives have actually appeared before our eyes.
Just then, Qin Qianluo's question reached her ears. Feng Qingyun was slightly taken aback, and then said, "Not yet, Luo Bao."
I never even dared to imagine it before. I never expected the craftsmen in the Ministry of Works to be so amazing, actually developing this thing on their own without any reference.
After she finished speaking, she still seemed to feel that she hadn't said enough. Her gaze fell firmly on the cloth bags of explosives again, her eyes filled with disbelief and admiration.
Qin Qianlu nodded slightly, her gaze fixed intently on the rudimentary shapes of the cloth-wrapped explosives before her, as if nailed to the spot.
Her eyes were deep and focused, her thoughts like a wild horse, drifting involuntarily toward a more advanced weapon—the hand grenade.
She pondered to herself, considering the current material reserves, how would it be possible to manufacture old-fashioned hand grenades?
Not only are the required materials scarce and hard to find, but the manufacturing process is also fraught with difficulties, and the slightest carelessness may lead to unpredictable dangers.
In comparison, improving and optimizing existing cloth-packed explosives is undoubtedly a more feasible and reliable approach.
After a moment, Qin Qianluo said, "Yunbao, go and carefully organize the relevant information about the cloth bag explosives."
This contains a lot of information, especially regarding the hand grenades in cloth-packed explosives; it must be comprehensive and detailed.
The most important thing is to master the new method of making cloth-wrapped explosives invented by the blasting expert, Mr. Chai Xuejiu.
The instructions for making the compact explosive charge were also thoroughly explained and compiled, then submitted to me.
At this point, Qin Qianluo paused slightly, her brows furrowing and a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the neatly arranged cloth bags of explosives, and continued, "I just carefully examined the cloth bags of explosives made by the Ministry of Works."
The grenade section inside was found to have significant safety hazards, as its processing technology was not yet perfect and many details were still lacking.
Given the current situation, deploying it directly on the battlefield could very likely lead to unforeseen circumstances and cause unnecessary losses.
Therefore, it still needs careful improvement.
Feng Qingyun responded crisply, her voice as clear and melodious as the chirping of birds in the mountain forest at dawn, instantly spreading throughout the slightly noisy area.
Shi Xingbai stood to the side, his long robe swaying gently in the wind. He seemed to be calmly observing everything around him, but his eyes revealed a hint of scrutiny and contemplation.
In fact, he was secretly listening to Jinrui Zhaowang's thoughts, after all, Jinrui Zhaowang was always quick-witted and had an extraordinary sensitivity to new things.
As he listened to the end, a slight smile crept onto his lips, a smile that was full of smug satisfaction, as if to say, "Just as I expected."
He knew in his heart that his initial plan was absolutely correct.
Looking back, he had specifically ordered someone to place the prototype of that bomb here.
It was an object that embodied the hard work of everyone in the Ministry of Works. Although it was still in its infancy, its unique structure and potential power made it impossible for anyone who saw it not to take a second look.
Shi Xingbai knew Qin Qianluo's keen perception and desire to explore new things. How could she ignore such a unique object?
At that moment, when he learned that the thing they had painstakingly developed was called "cloth-wrapped explosives," he nodded to himself, thinking that the name was indeed fitting.
