Chapter 43: Thunder and Fire Bombs

Riding in the carriage, Zhao Hongxing took Le Aya and Hongyi to follow Zhao Hongwei to the camp in the western suburbs of the capital.

Fifty miles from the capital, the western outskirts of the city is a large dense forest that stretches to the northwest. The westernmost side stretched to the edge of the plain where the battle against the Ice Barbarians had been fought, and the northernmost part stretched almost to the foot of the northern mountain range.

Therefore, it is also an important timber production area in Yanbong.

The camp in the western suburbs is in this forest, slightly northwestward, five or six miles away from the western suburbs of the capital.

This camp was not a large camp for soldiers, but a place for the Yanfeng royal family to train elite soldiers (such as cavalry) and experiment with various new weapons. The forbidden army and patrol battalion in the capital also often come here for training, so there are often nearly 10,000 soldiers stationed here who can go to the battlefield at any time.

And this place does not need to be deliberately hidden, in this era when there is no air force, building facilities in the forest is the best way to hide.

As Zhao Hongwei said, this large camp built in the forest is indeed very cool. The forest is nature's air conditioner, and when Zhao Hongxing approached the edge of the woods in this carriage, the burning sensation in the air had disappeared, and the temperature dropped to a very comfortable degree. When they entered the woods, they were soon surrounded by a pleasant coolness, and when the heat disappeared, their mood suddenly improved.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the gate of the main camp.

The entire outer wall of the camp is made of logs ten meters high, and each log has two people and a thick hug.

The sentry standing on the top of the gate confirmed the royal emblem on the carriage and hurriedly called the soldiers standing guard in the gate tower to open the door.

The gate of this large camp is not an ordinary door, it is also made of several two-person and thick logs. And the door was not yet pushed open, but was hoisted upwards with a block of pulleys from the door, and when it was raised, there was a loud boom.

One of the advantages of this design is that if you need to close the door quickly in an emergency, as long as you cut the ropes hanging from the door on both sides, the door will be smashed down directly, and those who want to break in must think about whether they are smashed into meatloaf, and the possibility that they will not be able to go out after entering.

Passing through the gate and into the camp, the carriage drove directly to the wide area where the weapons were to be tested.

Zhao Zongyang and several masters of the Technical Hall had already arrived here, and Qi Huan, who was the developer, was also there, talking to Zhao Zongyang with his eyebrows.

After getting out of the carriage, Zhao Hongxing and his party hurried over.

“...... Therefore, Your Majesty, through the efforts of me and all the masters of the Technical Faculty Hall these days, the power of this new type of thunder fire has risen to another level. As soon as he got closer, Zhao Hongxing heard Qi Huan say very proudly.

"Hmm, has the problem of how to reach the detonation temperature solved?" Zhao Zongyang nodded and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, we've settled it. Qi Huan picked up an iron pipe the thickness of an adult's forearm, and there was still a fuse on top of this iron pipe.

Zhao Hongxing estimated that this was a "thunder bomb" equipped with a new type of thunder fire, but this thing looked like an iron sheet two kicks that had been magnified several times.

"Your Majesty, the middle part of this thunderfire bomb is filled with a modified old-fashioned thunderfire. Qi Huan introduced: "Although the improved old-fashioned thunderfire explosion is still not very powerful, it has accelerated the burning speed and the temperature of the exothermic. ”

Qi Huan pointed to the fuse, "As long as the old-fashioned thunder fire inside is ignited through the fire rope, the temperature generated in an instant is enough to detonate the new thunder fire filled in the thunder fire bomb." ”

"And it's hugely powerful. Qi Huan added.

"Well, show me the way. Zhao Zongyang nodded again, and then ordered Qi Huan.

The meaning of Zhao Zongyang's demonstration is to let the soldiers bury the thunder bomb in the test explosion area two miles away from here, and after being lit by a special person, everyone will stand in the area of this safety belt to watch the explosion effect.

But Zhao Zongyang never expected that Qi Huan was also a guy who made himself stupid by doing research, he took out a fire fold, and lit the fuse of the thunder fire bomb in his hand.

Then, holding the lighted thunder bomb, he asked the people present lightly: "That, that one came and threw it out, I can't throw it far, it's a little unsafe to blow it up too close." ”

Damn, you still know that this thing is not safe! Zhao Hongxing looked at the half-burned fire rope, and the hairs on his body stood up.

Zhao Zongyang is not a person who has entered the big scene, he snatched the thunder fire bomb that was already lit in Qi Huan's hand, and instantly activated the power of the bloodline, and threw the thunder fire bomb out of the place where there was no one in the test explosion site.

"Bang!"

"Boom !!"

After the thunder fire bomb that had leaped a distance of nearly a hundred zhang fell to the ground, it first made a muffled sound, and then a large cloud of dazzling fire brought out an earth-shattering loud sound. The ground under everyone's feet also vibrated at the moment of the explosion, and at the same time, a shock wave composed of sound swept over everyone, and with the vibration of the ground, everyone present felt that their internal organs seemed to follow the position.

Zhao Hongxing, who was startled by the loud noise, didn't forget to complain in his heart.

After complaining, Zhao Hongxing felt that something was clutching the clothes on his waist, and when he looked back, it was Le Aya. Her little face turned white with fright from the loud noise and vibration, both hands were holding the clothes on Zhao Hongxing's waist, and her eyes were even full of tears, looking like she was very scared.

"Touch the hair, don't be scared, touch the ears, be scared for a while. Zhao Hongxing hurriedly comforted Le Aya.

On the other side, the smoke and dust after the explosion had not yet cleared, and the small pebbles that had been blown into the sky were still falling down with a crackle. The soldiers who were about to go over to check the effect of the explosion were also dumbfounded by the scene in front of them, and no one dared to go over to take a look for the time being.

"Hmm...... Is it really too much to pack two catties of medicine......" Qi Huan touched his chin and thought, as if he was not affected by the explosion in the slightest.

When Liang Yu was not watching by Qi Huan's side, this Qi Huan's way of thinking was really different from that of normal people, and normal people would definitely not be able to do this death-like operation after igniting the thunder fire bomb and waiting for someone to throw it. If it weren't for Zhao Zongyang's quick reaction and amazing arm strength, he threw it three hundred meters away, otherwise everyone present would definitely be carried by Qi Huan alone.

So Le Aya was not scared because of the sound of the explosion, she was angry and scared after thinking that she was almost killed by Qi Huan.

Zhao Zongyang forcibly resisted the urge to slap Qi Huan on the ground, and kept persuading himself in his heart, "This is a pillar, this is a pillar, you can't fight, you must not fight, if it is broken, there is no place to repair it." ”

After the emotions in his heart calmed down, Zhao Zongyang instructed the other masters present: "When you experiment in the future, don't give all dangerous things such as thunder bombs to Qi Huan, thank you." ”

"Ah, definitely. ”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. ”

The Taishi were also frightened, although everyone present was a little lacking in ordinary human affairs because they focused on academic research, but no one was like Qi Huan, who lacked roots.

After a while, Qi Huan was already immersed in his own world, and he didn't know what to think about.

After a while, the soldiers who had finally finished inspecting the scene of the explosion came over and handed over the report, Zhao Zongyang took it and looked at it, and asked in disbelief: "Is this the power of two catties of new thunder fire?"

Zhao Hongxing also leaned aside to take a look, and the report clearly drew in scale, these two catties of new-style thunder fire actually blew up a large crater with a radius of six or seven meters, and the iron fragments wrapped in the thunder fire bomb were found by the soldiers at a distance of 200 meters from the center of the explosion.

Judging from the results of this explosion, this new type of lightning fire seems to be far from the explosive effect of TNT, after all, one kilogram of TNT can blow up a 200-kilogram thing for several kilometers. But in this day and age, it's already powerful. Moreover, if the power of this new thunderfire is really similar to the power of TNT, then the distance of 300 meters is not a safe distance, and the power of the explosion can still engulf everyone present.

Zhao Zongyang estimated in his heart that if in a siege battle, the enemy had thousands of catties of this kind of thunder fire in his hands, it would really be useless no matter how thick the city wall was.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zongyang felt a little chill in his back, this thing was made to be an artifact used to kill......

I really don't know what kind of terrible things will happen if this kind of thing falls into the hands of crazy people.

Fortunately, the Taishi seem to have found a way to prevent this kind of thunder fire to a certain extent.

"Was the experiment of using dogs to find the buried thunder fire successful?" Zhao Zongyang asked a Taishi.

"It has succeeded, Your Majesty. A few days ago, experiments had been done in the palace and in the capital, and all the thunder and fire bombs that had been buried in the secret were discovered by trained dogs. The Master replied.

Hmm? What this Taishi said aroused Zhao Hongxing's idea. The special taste and the experiment of being discovered by dogs? After thinking about the reason, Zhao Hongxing suddenly realized.

It turns out that those dogs are explosion-proof dogs! Zhao Hongxing secretly scolded himself for degraded brains, and in his previous life, he introduced many dogs used to find bombs in many documentaries. These human friends are active in airports that need security and battlefields that need to be demined, relying on their keen sense of smell to search for all kinds of dangerous explosives.

Because the world Zhao Hongxing is in now is a little different from the painting style of his previous life, he didn't think about it at all.

Although it cannot directly stop the explosion of lightning bombs, trained dogs can easily smell the smell of thunder and fire buried in a specific location, and then tell people that there is something dangerous here.

In this way, you can stop those who want to secretly detonate the thunder fire and hold back to wreak havoc.
