When Master Yang heard these words from Shen Yu again, he no longer took them seriously.
After all, Shen Yu had said these words more than once in the past ten days, and his ears were callused from hearing them so much.
But there is one thing he still admires Miss Shen for. After experiencing so many failures, Miss Shen never gave up. Instead, she firmly believed that she could develop gunpowder.
Although he did not hold much hope, he did not believe that the extremely powerful explosives that Miss Shen mentioned really existed.
If it is really as Miss Shen said, it would be too incredible. Weapons made of explosives can definitely be called magical weapons.
Whoever possesses such a weapon will be invincible on the battlefield, defeating the enemy with fewer troops and there is no possibility of losing the battle.
But he always felt that everything he had done so far was in vain.
However, he had no right to refuse, so he could only keep experimenting.
And if he could really make explosives, he would die without regrets.
After all, from the moment he was abducted and brought here, he knew that he would never have a chance to escape with his life.
No matter he succeeds or fails, this will be his burial place.
Fortunately, when someone was looking for him, he realized something was wrong and asked his grandson to hide in time, which saved his grandson from danger.
This old man of his has lived for so many years, which is enough. No matter when he is killed, he will have no regrets. He also hopes that he can develop powerful gunpowder by himself.
Shen Yu looked at the records of the previous experiment and adjusted the amount of charcoal.
Suddenly I felt thirsty, so I wanted to drink some water and come back to experiment later.
What she didn't know was that after she left, Master Yang took away the three raw materials that she had adjusted according to the proportions.
After a cup of tea, there was a loud noise in the cave.
"boom!"
"ah!"
Someone screamed, and the loud noise only lasted for a moment. The soldiers guarding outside the cave reacted and immediately went into the cave to rescue people. They soon found Master Yang who was injured all over his body in the explosion. The loud noise also alarmed the general.
"Meet the General."
"What's going on?"
"Reporting to the General, there was a sudden loud noise in the cave. I don't know what Master Yang did, but he was seriously injured."
When the general heard this, his eyes lit up. Without waiting for the guard to continue, he strode towards the cave.
He had a guess in his mind, but it seemed unbelievable, so he wanted to get into the cave quickly and confirm it himself.
As General Jiang Kui entered the cave, he heard a burst of laughter.
"Hahaha, I've developed explosives. I've developed explosives. I've developed explosives."
When the general heard this, his pace became even faster, and he even broke into a sprint while walking. There was no trace of the general's demeanor left.
But at this time Jiang Kui didn't care about so many things. He only knew that the explosives he had been looking forward to had been developed.
Although he had only seen Shen Yu in person on the day he came to the military camp, he never summoned Shen Yu again after that. Instead, he let Shen Yu stay in the cave to develop explosives. In fact, he asked people to report the situation in the cave every day.
He was fully aware that Shen Yu and the craftsmen's progress in developing gunpowder had been hindered. Although he was dissatisfied and anxious, he also knew that explosives were beyond his knowledge.
He had never seen what explosives looked like, nor had he witnessed the destructive power they caused when they exploded.
Everything he knew about explosives came from spies he had planted in the Beiling Army.
When he first received the letter, he also found it incredible, thinking that it was impossible for such a weapon with such strong lethality to exist in the world.
However, the secret agent in the army was planted with great difficulty and had never been activated. He also did not take the initiative to contact the secret agent in the Beilingcheng army.
That's why the spy wrote to him. The matter of the explosives was too serious. Once the Third Prince really got control of the explosives, the eldest prince's advantage in the fight for the throne would be gone, and the Third Prince would definitely win easily.
Although he thought this matter was ridiculous, a voice in his heart told him that the matter about the explosives might be true. When he told this to his father.
His father pondered for a while, then ordered him to lead the army and secretly station in the suburbs of Beijing, waiting for news from the imperial concubine in the palace. When the time was ripe, he would immediately force the emperor to abdicate and force the throne to the eldest prince.
He was quietly making preparations when the secret guards he sent to protect the eldest prince brought a message saying that the eldest prince brought a woman back to the palace and threatened to use explosives.
When he heard the word "dynamite" again, he didn't seem as excited as the first time, at least he didn't lose his composure.
But he knew in his heart that he was not as calm as he appeared. In fact, his heart was beating fast, as if there was a wild horse running wild in his chest. Every leap hit his ribs, and his breathing became rapid and deep. And with every breath, he felt as if his body was injected with new energy.
He knew why he was like this, because as long as he possessed this magical weapon, he would no longer fear any army, and his powerful army would be invincible.
The general's face turned red with excitement. He was only thinking about the successful development of explosives and didn't care about the injured Master Yang at all.
“Ah, it hurts!”
“Ah, that hurts.”
Master Yang was injured by the explosion of explosives and his body was covered with wounds. For a while, the cave was filled with Master Yang's wailing.
