Chapter 421 Success
The sound last time had no pattern at all and was made continuously.
This time, it appears once every certain period of time.
He Zhiran could roughly determine from the time intervals between the sounds that it was probably the result of his fifth brother successfully making gunpowder and putting it in a bamboo tube and igniting it.
In other words, the bomb has most likely been successfully developed.
Mrs. He didn't know what the sound was that she heard a few days ago. When she heard it again today, she just thought someone was setting off firecrackers.
However, this time the firecrackers did not last as long as last time.
"Ran Ran, are there any customs here? Why are you setting off firecrackers when it's not a festival?"
Mrs. He couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
He Zhiran was not sure how to explain this question. She said vaguely, "There is no custom. I guess it's just someone's child who likes to play."
Mrs. He didn't take this matter to heart. She just asked it casually. After He Zhiran explained, she didn't worry about it anymore.
At this time, He Zhiran could no longer sit still, and she slowly stood up.
"Mother, I'm going to see what my husband is busy with."
When she heard that her daughter was going to see her son-in-law, Mrs. He was tactful and did not follow them. The young couple wanted to be alone, and it was inappropriate for her, as a mother-in-law, to follow them.
"Okay, let Lan'er accompany you. Be careful on the road."
Mo Jiuye has been taking time to visit the farm recently, and he is probably there now.
The path leading up the mountain was just behind He Zhiran's courtyard. She did not go towards the farm, but went straight to the backyard.
The noise just now was so loud that Mo Jiuye planned to go up the mountain to check as soon as he heard it. As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he met He Zhiran.
He Zhiran sent Lan'er away and walked towards Mo Jiuye.
"Husband, from the noise I just heard, the bomb must have been successfully made."
Mo Jiuye also had the same feeling, but after all, he didn't know as much about bombs as He Zhiran. Now hearing her say this, the excitement on his face was beyond words.
"Ran Ran, if you say it's a success, then it must be a success. I'll go up the mountain and take a look."
In fact, He Zhiran came out to look for Mo Jiuye for this purpose. After all, she was judging based on experience, and whether the research and development was successful or not would only count if she saw it with her own eyes.
Just now, He Zhiran had sent Lan'er away in order to tell him about the bomb. Even if Mo Jiuye was anxious, he had to send He Zhiran home safely before leaving.
He Zhiran returned home to wait, while Mo Jiuye went up the mountain as quickly as possible.
This time, the scene was completely different from last time.
The fifth and sixth brothers were standing a few hundred meters away from the cave, staring at several deep pits.
They heard footsteps and turned around. Seeing that it was the ninth brother, they both raised the corners of their lips and revealed a bright smile.
"Ninth brother, you came at the right time. This is the result of our experiment today. The crater created by the explosion is much deeper than the last explosion." The fifth brother could not hide his excitement.
The Sixth Brother added, "And compared to the crater created last time, it's also much larger, which means the power has increased."
After listening to his two brothers, Mo Jiuye strode to the deep pit to check.
Just as they said, the pit created today was deep and large. Although its power was not as strong as the grenade he used to bomb the people in southern Xinjiang, its lethality should not be underestimated.
Besides, my wife has made it very clear that the bomb made of gunpowder she developed will not be as powerful as a grenade. If it can achieve 30% of the lethality of a grenade, it will be considered a success.
Mo Jiuye silently compared the power of the two weapons in his mind. He was sure that the power of the bomb made by his fifth brother and others could reach more than 40% of that of a grenade.
"Fifth brother, Sixth brother, we succeeded."
As soon as he finished speaking, a small, rustling sound came from the distance.
The brothers are all martial artists with extraordinary hearing ability. They can tell without even looking that this sound is not made by humans.
Especially the fifth brother, he has many years of hunting experience.
"There are wild boars."
This is a deep mountain, so it's not surprising to see wild boars.
If it were in the past, if a wild boar appeared, the brothers would undoubtedly hunt it and bring it home for everyone to taste.
However, Mo Jiuye thinks that today's wild boar has a greater use.
"Fifth Brother, Seventh Brother, do you still have the bombs you made?"
Seeing the ninth brother ask this, the two elder brothers also figured out his purpose.
The fifth brother quickly took out a small bamboo tube from his waist and held it in his hand.
"There's another one I was planning to bring back to show you its power, and it just happened to come in handy now."
The experiment of using bombs to blow up wild boars is much more effective than throwing them into the open ground.
After the brothers reached a consensus, they tacitly retreated several dozen meters.
As soon as I stood still, I saw two huge wild boars running out of the jungle.
Without saying a word, the fifth brother lit the fuse on the bamboo tube with a fire stick and threw it towards the two wild boars.
In just a moment, there was a deafening roar.
The two wild boars were in the sight of the brothers. The wild boar closest to the bomb was blown high into the air, and its body was torn into pieces in mid-air.
Flesh and blood mixed with dust fell into the deep pit.
Another wild boar that was farther away from the bomb was also covered in blood in the deep pit, without a sound.
You know, the wild boar's skin is quite hard, and it can be blown into such a state by a bomb. It is conceivable that if it hits a person, it would probably be even more tragic than this.
The brothers looked at the scene in front of them, and they couldn't hide the joy in their eyes.
Especially the fifth brother, no one knows better than him how much effort he has put in developing this weapon these days.
The three brothers hugged each other excitedly.
"Sixth brother, ninth brother, did you see that? It's a success. The weapons research was a success."
The Sixth Brother was also very excited: "Well, with such a weapon, we no longer have to worry about anyone doing harm to our Mo family."
At the same time, he had already determined a fact in his mind, why did his ninth brother's wife say so confidently that only a thousand people would be needed to support the army.
With such weapons, let alone a thousand people, even if there were only the nine brothers of the Mo family together, they would be able to accept everyone.
The brothers simply cleaned up the traces left by the experimental bomb and went down the mountain together.
Such a big thing naturally needs to be informed to my father and brothers as soon as possible.
Fourth brother also participated this time.
Ever since his fifth brother and his friends went up the mountain to research weapons, he had been extremely anxious at home, always hoping to help.
Although he couldn't help at all at the moment, he was still concerned about it. Therefore, when he heard that all the men in the family had gone to their father to talk about things, the fourth brother insisted that his wife help him come over.
