When these spies passed this so-called intelligence back to their respective countries, the monarchs and ministers of each country, after learning about these situations, all laughed at the stupidity of Wei State and believed that Wei State was courting its own destruction by doing so.
After all, in the minds of the rulers of these countries, the strength of a country does not depend on the ordinary people, but on the aristocratic families and martial arts sects. Only by gaining the support of these forces can the country become truly strong.
The Wei court was simply trying to please the people and ignore the power of the aristocratic families and martial arts sects. Sooner or later, this would make these forces dissatisfied, and by then the Wei court would fall apart without being attacked by other countries.
After learning about these situations, the monarchs and ministers of these countries relaxed their vigilance against Wei, believing that Wei would not launch a war against them. After all, the Wei court had even sold its army's weapons, and it was obvious that it had no intention of fighting again.
After learning about Wei's situation, the people of these countries all laughed at Wei's stupidity, believing that the Wei court was digging its own grave by doing this. The army is the foundation for maintaining a country's stability. If even the army's weapons are sold, then what deterrent effect can the court of this country have? How can a country with soldiers without weapons resist the invasion of foreign enemies?
The Emperor of Wei did this completely without regard for the lives of the people in his country. If there is no army that can resist foreign enemies, even if he treats the people in his country well, it will only be a passing cloud. When the enemy invades, all the benefits given to the people now will vanish into thin air, and the prosperity of Wei will only be a flash in the pan.
Some more radical people, after learning about the current situation in Wei, have begun writing letters to their country's emperor and court ministers, asking their country to take the opportunity to launch a war against Wei. They believe that as long as they can defeat Wei, all the wealth and resources in Wei will belong to them, and the people of their country will be able to live a prosperous life.
Although the proposals of these radicals resonated with some ministers, many countries did begin to secretly prepare their military forces, intending to launch an aggressive war when Wei was at its weakest and plunder its wealth.
Of course, the Wei court was not surprised by the reactions of these countries, and found it ridiculous that these countries took the initiative to station their troops on the border of Wei. You know, after all the new weapons were unleashed, the combat effectiveness of Wei's soldiers was not comparable to that of the soldiers of these countries.
If they hide in their own cities and rely on the city walls for defense, it may cause some trouble to the Wei army, but once they enter the open area, the new weapons of the Wei army will exert great power. In addition, His Majesty has developed a powerful weapon in recent days. The court ministers of Wei have sufficient confidence that Wei can unify the Shengwu Continent.
The new weapon, a powerful weapon developed under Chu Fan's leadership and in collaboration with the Ministry of Industry, is called the "Sky-shaking Thunder." This weapon not only possesses powerful lethality, but also produces a resounding roar when deployed, creating a powerful psychological deterrent for the enemy. Therefore, after consultation, His Majesty and the court ministers named this weapon the "Sky-shaking Thunder."
As for how to make the Sky-shaking Bomb, we have to talk about the method of making the black gunpowder that Chu Fan obtained by signing in. After the wedding with Wen Xuexuan, Chu Fan taught the method of making the black gunpowder that he obtained by signing in to the system to Tang Hongwen of the Ministry of Industry.
After Tang Hongwen received the black powder production method from Chu Fan, he immediately led the craftsmen in the Ministry of Works to make the black powder according to the steps and proportions Chu Fan provided. Although Tang Hongwen and the members of the Ministry of Works did not know what His Majesty wanted them to make, since it was His Majesty's request, they did not dare to neglect it.
They all knew that His Majesty would not let them make useless things. During the two years since His Majesty ascended the throne, the various items that His Majesty asked the Ministry of Works to make were undoubtedly of great help to the State of Wei. So when His Majesty needed them to make this item called black gunpowder, they just had to do it according to His Majesty's requirements. His Majesty would tell them the specific use of this item after they made the finished product.
Of course, Chu Fan did not disappoint them. After the Ministry of Industry produced black gunpowder, Chu Fan took Mu Xi and others as well as Tang Hongwen to make a simple bomb. When the bomb was detonated, everyone was shocked. Although such an item did not have fatal killing power for top-level warriors, warriors below the fourth rank would definitely die on the spot if they were in the center of the explosion, and even warriors above the fourth rank would find it difficult to escape from such an explosion.
Seeing such a powerful force, Mu Xi and the others were actually very frightened. Because the warrior strength they were so proud of was completely vulnerable to such a bomb. Once such a weapon appeared in the world, the era when ordinary people could not harm warriors would come to an end. At that time, warriors would no longer be high and mighty, and ordinary people would also have the ability to harm warriors. This would undoubtedly be a huge change for the entire Shengwu Continent.
Although Mu Xi and others did not use force to bully ordinary people on weekdays, they were still very proud of being warriors. After all, not everyone in the Shengwu Continent had the talent for martial arts, and not everyone had enough time to practice martial arts.
In the past, Mu Xi and others always regarded the fact that they were warriors as a very honorable thing. After all, warriors have a transcendent status in this world. They not only have powerful strength, but also have rights that ordinary people do not have.
However, after seeing the power of the bomb, they knew that their identity as warriors, which they were proud of, was completely vulnerable in the face of such weapons. As long as there were enough such weapons, they could completely crush warriors like them with their numerical advantage.
Such thoughts made Mu Xi and others feel terrified. You know, the reason why these warriors had a transcendent status in the past was because they had strength that ordinary people did not have. They could crush ordinary people with their own strength, but now there are weapons that can threaten their lives. Once such weapons become popular, their status as warriors will be greatly impacted.
