When there was a thunderclap in the flat ground, the debris flew up, and the soil used to hold the explosives was shaken open by the shock wave, and there was a big crater on the ground.

Thanks to Wang Xiaolai's reminder, the empress and they hid far away so that they were not injured by mistake, but this time, after seeing the power of explosives, they were all stunned.

Good guy, is it so powerful?

When I stepped forward to check, even the straw man wearing the Qiushan armor with the best protection of Sui Yang was pierced by many small holes in the iron nails.

The empress turned her head sharply, looked at Wang Xiaolai who was hiding behind the cowhide shield, frowned, and shouted: "Little Laizi, didn't you say that this thing can't hurt people?" ”

Wang Xiaolai also wondered, he knew the power of this black powder, he did it himself when he was in school, and he didn't have such a great power, could it be that he added gravel and iron pieces to it?

Wondering in his heart, Wang Xiaolai stepped forward to take a look.

There was a pungent smell of sulfur in his nose, and Wang Xiaolai couldn't help but cover his nose.

Lu Gongyou on the side was also obviously shocked by what was happening in front of him, as if he didn't expect this thing to have such great lethality.

"Your Majesty, I think something may be wrong, that's why it's so powerful." Wang Xiaolai muttered.

The empress was puzzled: "What can go wrong, isn't it all explosives made by yourself?" ”

Wang Xiaolai shook his head, and said in his heart that he might have accidentally made a mistake in the proportion when he was stirring the gunpowder, but he made a mistake and made a mistake.

Over there, the Eight Sages King and Lu Gongyou were still squatting in front of the straw man to check, looking at the armor on the straw man's chest like sifting chaff, the same surprise appeared in their eyes.

If you can bring thousands of these weapons when you fight, then no one on the other side can afford such a blow.

If you don't believe it, don't you just look at the scattered straw men that have been blown up.

Liu Maolin smiled beside him: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

The empress asked knowingly, and said with a smile: "Old Xiangguo, why do you like it?" ”

Liu Maolin glanced at Wang Xiaolai, who was obviously still in a state of confusion on the side, and said with a smile: "Of course, the good news is on Lord Wang. ”

Wang Xiaolai looked back and was stunned, pointing to his nose: "Me? ”

Before Liu Maolin could answer, the empress laughed, turned around and went in the direction of the imperial study, and instructed: "Narcissus, clean up the scene, don't let today's events spread out." ”

Narcissus clenched his fists.

On this side, a group of people returned to the imperial study, and the empress immediately ordered the door to be closed, and at the same time issued a decree that no one was allowed to approach within a hundred steps of the imperial study.

The empress's seriousness proves that this is not a simple trifle.

In the imperial study, Wang Xiaolai sat in the first position on the left hand side of the empress, like the three of them like the Eight Sages King Lu Gongyou, and they only sat on the accompanying seat.

Not to mention anything else, just from this seat, it is not difficult to guess how far Wang Xiaolai's status in the empress's mind has climbed at this time.

The empress didn't speak, and everyone didn't dare to speak.

Even if it is the Eight Sages King who is the uncle of the empress, after all, the empress is now in power, and she is becoming more and more like an unpredictable emperor, under the world, that is, Wang Xiaolai still has the courage to smile with the empress, you try to change others, and when you see the empress, don't you immediately become a good baby?

Looking at Wang Xiaolai, the empress pinched her chin, and her heart became lively.

As far as Wang Xiaolai's explosives just now are concerned, the power is indeed extremely powerful, and it is completely different from the rest of the weapons of the Suiyang Empire at the moment.

This is a completely new field, and the empress feels as if she has touched a new world tonight.

Since before the empress, no matter what era, any force, to fight, always rely on cavalry to charge, infantry to sweep the formation, and then the two sides compete for financial and material resources.

Even the famous generals of the past generations can't jump out of this habitual thinking.

For example, three hundred years ago, the first military god Ning Baiyuan was known to be invincible and invincible, but if you look closely at his battle, that time, it was not a head-to-head victory? It's not that Ning Baiyuan is speaking ill, but by doing so, while winning, it is also an astronomical amount of money for military spending.

It is as strong as the famous Zhongxing general Ai Lang two hundred years ago, who claims to be good at tricks, every time he anticipates the enemy first, he attacks the enemy behind, but the price is that the frontal army attracts most of the firepower for him, which casts Ai Lang's reputation in a hundred battles.

Don't talk about the distance, let's just say that right now, Lu Gongyou is powerful enough, but even if Lu Gongyou is invincible, his complete victory record after joining the army is also due to Sui Yang, the big money owner, who threw in a steady stream of silver in the back in exchange for it.

If Wang Xiaolai's explosives can be implemented and popularized, then it will be much easier to fight a war in the future, throw thousands of explosives before starting a war, no matter how powerful you are, you will be blown up like a grandson, and it will be much cheaper for military spending.

Compared with human life and ordnance, sulfur powder is always cheaper.

In this way, Sui Yang's future war against the grassland will save more silver.

As soon as she thought of this, the empress, who was born with a picky temperament, couldn't help laughing.

When I looked up, I saw that Wang Xiaolai was still muttering, and I didn't know what he was talking about.

Seeing this, the empress hesitated for a moment, then picked up her teacup, poured a full cup of tea into it, came to Wang Xiaolai's side, and said with a smile: "Little Laizi, you're thirsty." ”

Wang Xiaolai looked up at the empress: "I'm not thirsty." ”

Empress: "···"

"Look at you, be polite to me, come, take it and drink it." Almost forced, the empress forced the teacup into Wang Xiaolai's hand, and watched him drink it clean in one gulp.

The daffodils on the side couldn't wait to stare out, that cup was commonly used by the empress.

"Little Laizi, I think that the explosives you just now are still quite useful..."

"Okay, Your Majesty, don't be courteous, I know what you mean." Wang Xiaolai said unceremoniously.

The empress snorted at the time.

Wang Xiaolai said: "Your Majesty, don't you just fancy the huge lethality of that thing." ”

The empress nodded busily.

Wang Xiaolai said again: "But Your Majesty, don't blame me for not reminding you, just now that I have this broken technology, there is no way to put the explosives into the military at all, but it is somewhat possible to use it to blow up rocks and open mountains." ”

The empress was anxious: "Why, that power is obviously great." ”

Wang Xiaolai looked at the empress: "Your Majesty, I think it is necessary for you to clarify one thing first. ”

"What's the matter?"

"The explosive we detonated on the school field weighs fifteen pounds, and the area covered by such a large one is only thirty to fifty steps."

"What is effective kill coverage?" The empress asked stunned.

Wang Xiaolai sighed: "That is to say, within this range, it is possible to die under the explosion." ”

The empress suddenly realized, nodded to indicate that she understood, and let Wang Xiaolai continue.

So, Wang Xiaolai continued: "But have you thought about it, Your Majesty, how can such a big thing be sent into the enemy formation?" Manpower throwing? No kidding, how far can a person throw, at such a distance, the archers of the opposing side would have already shot you into a sieve. ”

The Eight Sages said: "You can use a trebuchet." ”

Wang Xiaolai pouted disdainfully: "I'm not targeting you Eighth Prince, I just want to say that the trebuchet thing is rubbish." ”

The Eight Sages King instantly glared at Wang Xiaolai.

Wang Xiaolai gave his own explanation: "The trebuchet is such a thing, how do you describe it as good, the play is too unstable, far away, it can be thrown hundreds of steps away, and the close, that is, under the soles of the feet, I don't believe it, the Eight Sages King You have led the troops for so many years, and you have never encountered a trebuchet and accidentally injured your own soldiers." ”

In a word, the Eight Sages King was directly stunned, how could he not have encountered it, Suiyang Ordnance, although it is unique in the world, but there are still shortcomings.

For example, the bowstring breaks quickly and should not be moved.

Usually before a battle is over, the trebuchet rests first.

"Then use a bow and crossbow to launch explosives by shooting rockets." Liu Maolin said.

took it, but it was Wang Xiaolai who greeted him with a disdainful expression.
