The Ministry of Engineering has its own small school yard in the west of the city, near the river.

Naturally, it is impossible for these guys to jingle or even "boom" in the city, and it is convenient to get water when there is really any accident on the edge of the river.

Now in the small school field, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Engineering have been waiting for it, and their eyes are focused on the center of the school field, on the ground where there are radioactive burn marks, and there is a barrel.

Only these people present knew what was in the bucket.

They are the creators of this thing, and they are the witnesses of today's scene.

"Why don't you start yet?"

"I heard that I'm waiting for some big man to come."

"What big man can be, is it possible that the captain is coming?"

"Then who knows, this Jiankang Mansion is full of big people."

While the craftsmen were still whispering, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the distance, and everyone looked at it in surprise, there were few people who were qualified to ride horses in this heavily controlled school yard of the Ministry of Engineering.

And when the first cavalry moved to the side, the people behind also dispersed, and the stars held the moon like a moon to guard the knight in the middle.

"Your Majesty, it's under the wall!" The sharp-eyed craftsman couldn't help but shout.

"Your Majesty, it's Your Majesty who is here!"

And Wu Ping, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly greeted him: "Your Majesty, the minister!" ”

Li Xinchen turned over and dismounted outside the school field, he still abided by the rule that horses are not allowed to gallop in the school yard of the Ministry of Engineering, and strode up to Wu Ping: "The captain has already told me, you plan to light the fire today?" ”

Wu Ping hurriedly said: "Yes, but today is just the final acceptance experiment, and the minister can't guarantee that it will be foolproof, so please stop here." ”

Li Xinchen waved his hand: "So many people are in the school field, why should I stop here." ”

As he spoke, he strode forward. And Wu Ping was helpless, and hurriedly followed: "Your Majesty, the power of this new thing is not completely certain, Your Majesty is likely to be in danger if you pass it rashly like this, please stop!" ”

"Your Majesty think twice!" Yang Su and Xiao Maha, who were with them, also hurriedly said.

Li Xinchen suddenly laughed and said, "Where the secretaries are, I am there." ”

"Your Majesty!" At this time, the craftsmen rushed up.

"It's the end of the year, and I'm looking forward to you being able to surprise me." Li Xinchen said as he looked at the bucket in the middle, which should contain black powder, and then looked at the radial charred black soil on the ground, you can imagine the power of this thing's explosion.

"Your Majesty will not be disappointed!" The craftsmen suddenly said loudly, their eyes were full of anticipation at this time, although they had not considered how this gunpowder should be further used, but since His Majesty had already come over in person, it meant that the significance of this thing to the Han must be extraordinary.

Li Xinchen bowed his head: "Then I am standing here." ”

"Your Majesty!" Wu Ping suddenly became anxious, if you really want to do something to your old man, then I can't help myself to thank the world.

The craftsmen also gathered around: "Your Majesty thinks twice, and please retreat!" ”

Li Xinchen waved his hand: "Since you can stand here, then I can naturally stand here, I am the son of heaven in the world, and there is no need to hide behind to watch the excitement." ”

Of course, in fact, it was because Li Xinchen still had some idea of the power of black powder, and this distance was nearly a hundred zhang, so it was impossible to hurt himself. Of course, in the eyes of the craftsmen who had finally mastered the general recipe of gunpowder, His Majesty's act of standing with them like this naturally made them proud and trusted.

Xiao Maha and Yang Su had no choice but to stand by Li Xinchen's side, and like Li Ping, they could protect Li Xinchen at any time if something happened.

At this time, a lead line extended from the barrel in the field, and Wu Ping handed the fire fold in his hand to Li Xinchen. Li Xinchen took a deep breath and lit the fuse.

Suddenly, inside and outside the entire school field, all the people watching this scene subconsciously held their breath.

The efforts of so many people in the Ministry of Industry, as well as His Majesty's expectations, what kind of results will be obtained in the end? Eyes staggered, all falling on the slowly burning lead. Soon the flames were devouring the remaining leads, and they were getting closer to the bucket.

"Boom!"

A shock was accompanied by billowing smoke and dust, and Li Ping almost subconsciously dragged Li Xinchen back, and the shield hand also erected the shield almost at the same time. But they were stopped by Li Xinchen. Standing in this position, I really just felt the vibrations and the hot wind coming in, and there was really no real threat.

As the smoke and dust cleared, a large pit appeared in the middle of the school yard, and the iron bucket seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and the ground was full of debris.

It is clear that this time is more powerful and more successful than the previous experiments.

The craftsmen had not yet recovered from the explosion, but after all, Wu Ping, who had seen a lot of scenes, took the lead in shouting: "It's successful!" ”

"It worked!" The craftsmen shouted and rushed into the schoolyard, weeping with joy as they looked at the scorched earth and the scattered pieces of iron.

They actually created something that was unheard of, something that could even attract thunderbolts.

The power of the gods, it seems that this is the case!

Li Xinchen exhaled lightly, and had to admit that it took the Ministry of Industry half a year to toss out a decent gunpowder, which was faster than he imagined, but now this gunpowder is just an experimental product, judging from the expressions of these craftsmen, it is obvious that even they did not expect such a result.

So there is still a long time to debug what kind of proportions to debug and how to really apply them to actual combat.

But in any case, the first step has already come out, so the second and third steps are not so complicated.

Looking at the cheering craftsmen, Li Xinchen was silent.

After all, I released the devil of gunpowder from Pandora's box, but I don't know if the devil who came to this era two or three hundred years in advance and is destined to play a role for a longer time in advance will bring more happiness or suffering to this era?

But in any case, at least with gunpowder, there will be fewer obstacles in the way of your own progress.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to give a name to this newly developed weapon." Wu Ping strode over at this time, his face and hands were covered with black dust, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Li Xinchen nodded: "Let's call it 'gunpowder'." ”

"Mixing is like medicine, and using fire to lead it can be called 'gunpowder'," Wu Ping muttered, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

"How to create a device that matches gunpowder is what you have to work on next." Li Xinchen then said, "There is not much time left for us. ”
