He Yunxiao looked at the floating metal sheets and finally understood why Xiaoxiao and Chuchu didn't use weapons. Their internal energy was so powerful that using weapons would only hinder their performance.
“Okay, that’s settled,” He Yunxiao said, holding up a cloth bag. “Xiaoxiao, put all these sheet metal pieces in the bag.”
"Okay," Xiaoxiao replied.
As the sheet metal fell into the bag, He Yunxiao suddenly felt a change in the demeanor of those around him.
He asked in surprise, "Chu Chu?"
In order to prolong her power, Chu Chu only directly controlled Chu Xiaoxiao's body when she needed to transfer power to He Yunxiao through physical contact.
Seeing He Yunxiao's surprise, Chu Chu said irritably, "What? Don't you want to see me? Then I'll bring Xiao Xiao back."
He Yunxiao laughed. Chu Chu was so jealous; he wondered what she was jealous about now.
He Yunxiao carried the tin bag on his back and reached out to hug Chu Chu's small waist.
With Chu Chu, the jealous queen, around, He Yunxiao would never dare to have any physical contact with Xiaoxiao. But when Chu Chu is in his body, he doesn't have so many reservations. He can touch her if he wants; at worst, he'll get a scolding from Chu Chu, but it's no big deal, he's used to it.
He Yunxiao put his arm around Chu Chu's waist and brought his nose close to hers.
"Lord Chu Chu smells so good."
Chu Chu slapped the man's hand on her waist, turned her face to the side, and said angrily and shyly, "Nonsense!"
He Yunxiao shrugged shamelessly, "Your Highness just smells good. It's your own problem, why blame me?"
Chu Chu was speechless after being praised by He Yunxiao, but the thought of him and Xiao Xiao making her uncomfortable made her slap He Yunxiao's hand again.
"Release me! We agreed on half an hour each day, no more touching."
He Yunxiao reluctantly withdrew his hand, thinking to himself: "I actually held the posture for two hours during the power transfer today..." Then he proudly said to Chu Chu, "Chu Chu, I'll show you something fun later."
...
It was already dark, but He Yunxiao's scientific spirit was so strong that he insisted on conducting the experiment even with a torch.
In the dense forest, He Yunxiao held an object resembling a meteor hammer and shook it back and forth.
This item is a "modified hand grenade".
The core of this device is still gunpowder, but around it, a ring of shredded blades is wrapped in gauze. The shredded blades increase the weight, allowing the "grenade" to be thrown farther, while the blades, propelled by the gunpowder explosion, also expand the "grenade's" kill radius and lethality. It's a double benefit, killing two birds with one stone.
At the same time, by tying a hemp rope to this "grenade" and throwing it using the method of throwing a hammer, the throwing distance of the "grenade" can be increased to eighty or ninety meters.
This distance is quite considerable, and it's a distance perfectly suitable for actual combat.
He Yunxiao lit the first "grenade" of the short-sword army that he had just made and threw it out in front of Chu Chu and Zheng Lei.
In the darkness, a bright light appeared first, followed by a loud bang that startled countless birds in the mountains and forests.
He Yunxiao said excitedly, "Let's go! Let's go take a look."
After walking seventy or eighty meters, He Yunxiao found a piece of iron deeply embedded in the trunk of a tree.
He happily hugged Chuchu and said, "Oh! Chuchu, look! We did it!"
Zheng Lei, who had initially given up hope on the "hand grenade," became excited. Based on his experience in making fireworks, he vaguely felt that the He family's son's invention might change the world.
