Although Mu Xi and the others were terrified, they also understood the significance of such a weapon for Wei. With such a weapon, Wei's army would possess unprecedented combat power. By then, fewer soldiers and warriors would be sacrificed in the unification of the Holy Martial Continent, allowing Wei to achieve the greatest victory on the battlefield at the lowest cost. This would be the best outcome for everyone in Wei.
Chu Fan looked at the shocked expressions of Mu Xi and the others, sighing inwardly. He had originally been reluctant to bring out something as powerful as black powder, but after several days of careful consideration, he decided to share the method for making black powder with the Ministry of Industry for production.
As for why Chu Fan was determined to reveal the method for making black gunpowder, it was because when Chu Fan discussed war with Mu Xi and other women, he realized that war had brought nothing but pain to the State of Wei. As long as war was launched, people would die.
Chu Fan was thinking about the martyrs' cemetery he had just built, which had buried hundreds of soldiers and civilians who had died heroically for the State of Wei in just a few months. These were also the dead who had made great contributions to the State of Wei. There were also countless soldiers and civilians of the State of Wei who had died on the battlefield while fighting for the State of Wei.
After considering this situation, Chu Fan finally came to a conclusion. Since war was bound to bring endless suffering and sacrifice, he should at least minimize the casualties among Wei soldiers and civilians. As the emperor of Wei, he had to consider the people of Wei, and not abandon such a powerful weapon out of a pitiful sense of mercy.
Some people might say that after Wei conquered their territories, the people of other countries would also become citizens of Wei. At that time, the enemies killed by the black powder bombs would also be the relatives of these ordinary people. Does this count as using bombs to kill one's own people?
People who ask such questions need to understand that only after Wei occupies their country and land will they be considered citizens of Wei. Before occupying the other party's land, those people are just enemies.
Chu Zhenglin from the Royal Government Affairs Office, as well as the six ministers and Prime Minister Cao Mengde were summoned into the palace by Chu Fan. When they saw Chu Fan demonstrate the power of the "Sky-shaking Bomb", they were all shocked by its destructive power.
You should know that many of them are not only court ministers of Wei State but also top warriors of Wei State. However, even such strength seems so small and powerless in front of such bombs, not to mention those ordinary soldiers.
If such bombs were used in war, the combat effectiveness of the Wei army would be greatly enhanced. At that time, even if facing enemies that were several times larger than themselves, they would not have to be afraid, because such bombs could completely defeat the enemy.
Of course, Chu Zhenglin and others also asked everyone present to keep the "Sky-shaking Bomb" a secret. After all, if their strength was revealed too early, it would likely alert other countries and make them wary, making it difficult to defeat them.
After demonstrating the power of black powder bombs to the court ministers, they were allowed to return to their posts and work, while the Ministry of Industry was required to closely monitor the production and storage of black powder. After all, black powder is something that cannot withstand fire.
While Chu Fan was making black gunpowder and thunder bombs, the world's number one martial arts tournament held by the Wei royal family also began. As the emperor of Wei, Chu Fan personally attended the first few matches of this martial arts tournament and generously rewarded the warriors who performed well in the competition.
You have to know that the purpose of holding this world's number one martial arts tournament is to unify all martial arts forces, allowing them to join the Wei army in its campaigns. As the emperor of Wei, rewarding these martial artists is also a means of winning them over.
After all, these warriors all possess powerful strength. If they can be used by the State of Wei, the combat effectiveness of the Wei army will be greatly improved.
Of course, the royal family would specifically arrange for members of the royal family of similar strength to prevent spies from other countries from achieving a higher ranking. After these royals won, they would feign serious injuries and then simply surrender in the next match. This way, they could maintain fierce competition in the martial arts tournament while ensuring that the Wei championship title would not fall into the hands of outsiders.
After learning about the prizes for the world's best martial arts competition held by the State of Wei, these spies also signed up to participate in this martial arts competition. After all, the secret martial arts manuals are not easy to obtain. These spies from other countries thought in their hearts that if they won the first place in the world's best martial arts competition of the State of Wei, they would be able to win the first place.
These spies thought that after returning to their own forces with the secret manuals of peerless martial arts, they would definitely be able to gain higher status and power.
However, they could never have imagined how powerful the royal family of Wei was now. It was absolutely impossible for these spies to win the first place in the world's number one martial arts competition.
When the Wei Kingdom's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament was held, the Wei Kingdom's court and royal family began to negotiate with the various forces in the Wei Kingdom that came to participate in the No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament, so that these sects and forces would obey the orders and commands of the Wei Kingdom's court in the future.
Even though these sects had reservations about the imperial court's orders, after experiencing the imperial court's authority at the martial arts competition, they began to weigh the pros and cons. Some factions friendly to Wei also pledged their support for the imperial court's policies. Chu Zhenglin, in his capacity as the head of the Imperial Government Affairs Office, invited them to witness the explosion of the "Sky Thunder."
When these forces saw the explosive power of the "Thunder Bomb" made of black gunpowder, they realized that Wei was starting with diplomacy before force. If they chose to support Wei, then such a terrifying item would not allow them to dare to witness the power of the explosion.
If any sect is unwilling to obey Wei's orders, they will face the wrath of the entire Wei army and the attack of this terrifying weapon called "Zhentianzhong".
Under such intimidation, the sects and forces that had witnessed the power of the "Thunderbolt" began to persuade the sects and forces that were on good terms with them after returning to their temporary residence, asking them not to have any other thoughts and to obey the command of the Wei State in everything.
Many sects that had been on the sidelines expressed their willingness to submit to the Wei court and obey its orders. They understood that in a world where the strong reigned supreme, strength was the key to everything. With such powerful weapons, the Wei Kingdom undoubtedly stood at the pinnacle of the Shengwu Continent. They did not want to invite catastrophic disaster due to a momentary stubbornness.
