It accurately summarizes its form and characteristics, using cloth to wrap the explosives, which is simple and direct, yet full of ingenuity.
However, when Shi Xingbai thought about the process of developing cloth-wrapped explosives, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
In the dimly lit and stuffy workshop of the Ministry of Works, the pungent smell of gunpowder filled the air, and those days were filled with tension and danger.
This type of explosive is extremely unstable and difficult to control; the slightest carelessness can trigger an explosion.
To overcome the difficulties, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works worked day and night. Their faces were full of fatigue, and their hands were blackened by gunpowder, but they still stuck to their posts.
Even so, many people were injured as a result, and painful groans echoed through the workshop.
Fortunately, in the early stages of the experiment, everyone was cautious and used a small amount of explosives, which prevented a more serious disaster.
Even so, the pained expressions of the injured craftsmen still deeply pierced Shi Xingbai's heart.
Now that he heard that King Jinrui Zhao had instructed Feng Qingyun to organize the relevant information, Shi Xingbai knew that a turning point had arrived.
Jin Ruizhao Wang must have a way to solve these thorny problems; Shi Xingbai was convinced of her wisdom and insight.
Perhaps before long, this cloth-packed explosive, which embodies the hard work of countless people, will be able to truly unleash its power and become a magic weapon for defeating the enemy on the battlefield.
Upon hearing this, Minister of War Yang Yizhi's originally serious face broke into a relieved smile.
The idea for developing this cloth-wrapped explosive originated from his ingenious idea.
He had personally witnessed the awe-inspiring power of the cannon during its test firing; the shells roared out like thunder, instantly creating a cloud of dust in the distance.
At that moment, the flame of innovation ignited in his heart, and he longed for a more flexible and convenient weapon.
It can be easily operated by one person, allowing them to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy anytime, anywhere on the battlefield, giving soldiers more initiative in battle.
After having the idea, he quickly organized the craftsmen to carry out the research and development work.
He personally participated in the discussions, put forward various ideas, and worked day and night with the craftsmen.
However, reality dealt them a heavy blow; the samples they produced were far from what they expected, and the results were far from ideal.
Those samples either lacked explosive power or were extremely unstable, and could detonate prematurely at any time, posing a great danger to users.
During that period, his high expectations shattered like bubbles, and he once thought that his ideas were too unrealistic and that this attempt was destined to end in failure.
He began to doubt his own judgment, and his mood plummeted. He would even sit alone in his study late at night, looking at the design drawings with a heavy heart.
Fortunately, he later listened to Shi Xingbai's advice and, with a try-it-out mentality, displayed these seemingly failed half-finished products in a prominent place.
He didn't have high hopes, only thinking that he might be able to find directions for improvement from the feedback of others.
Unexpectedly, this unintentional act attracted the attention and praise of King Jinrui Zhao.
Moreover, they will soon receive more detailed production methods.
At this moment, Yang Yizhi was filled with emotion. Facts proved that as long as one dares to innovate and persevere, even the boldest ideas can become reality.
Hope rekindled in his eyes, as if he could already see the day when cloth-packed explosives would prove their worth on the battlefield.
The other officials, seeing the smug and self-satisfied expressions on the faces of the officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War, suddenly realized what was going on.
A complex emotion flashed in their eyes, a mixture of envy and regret.
These people secretly cursed in their hearts, muttering under their breath, "Those two old foxes are really cunning and scheming!"
At this moment, a strong sense of frustration spread through their hearts like a surging tide.
Everyone here is doing their best and offering advice to the court.
How could I be so stupid as to not think of such a clever and clever way to attract the attention of King Jinrui Zhao?
Seeing others so easily seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and about to reap all sorts of benefits, how could one not feel envious, heartbroken, and filled with resentment?
The officials of the Six Ministries saw all of this, but kept it to themselves.
They all subtly turned their gazes to their own ministers, their eyes exchanging meaningful glances that were practically overflowing with unspoken implications.
They kept exchanging glances, their eyes filled with eager urging and anticipation.
It was as if they were shouting silently at the top of their lungs: "Look at their skills, how brilliant they are!"
We can't fall behind; we need to get moving, think things through, and find an opportunity to show off our skills!
The ministers, as if by unspoken understanding, instantly grasped the deeper meaning in their subordinates' eyes and nodded slightly.
On the surface, he remained calm, but in reality, he subtly memorized the method.
They were already secretly planning in their hearts, thinking about finding a suitable opportunity to try and do the same.
He eagerly anticipates securing more resources and opportunities for his department, hoping to elevate his political achievements to a higher level.
Those officials of lower rank engraved this matter firmly in their hearts.
