Du Qi smiled and explained, "This is a new weapon we've developed. We were just testing the power of the new weapon. That's why there was such a loud explosion. "
Yuan Yin said, "Your Highness, you've developed it so quickly?"
"Yes!"
Du Qi nodded in response.
Yuan Yin said, "Your Highness, can you test it again and broaden our horizons?"
Guo Xiaozheng also spoke up, "Your Highness, the explosion just now was like a thunderclap, it was mighty and powerful. The sound of the explosion was especially forceful and domineering. I'm also curious as to what kind of weapon it is. "
Yi Fusheng said in a low voice, "I just don't know how such a weapon is used on the battlefield."
The three of them didn't know.
They would only know the specifics after they saw it.
Du Qi said, "Dan Yangzi, do you have more?"
Dan Yangzi nodded and said, "I considered the possibility of the experiment failing, so I prepared a backup. And this backup is something I always carry with me. Since you want to see it, I'll test it right away. "
He reached his hand into his sleeve and took out a handful of gunpowder that was slightly larger than a fist. This set of gunpowder was slightly bigger than the previous one.
When Yuan Yin and the others saw this scene, their faces were filled with astonishment and confusion. This was because they really couldn't understand how such a weapon could cause such a loud explosion.
Under the gaze of Yuan Yin and the others, Dan Yangzi had already walked to the front. He skillfully dug a small hole and buried the gunpowder in it. Fortunately, Dan Yangzi had brought enough fuse wire. He directly connected the original fuse wire together, forming a foot-long fuse wire.
Dan Yangzi still didn't light the fuse himself. When he returned, Liu Jian skillfully lit the fuse and ran back to cover his ears.
Du Qi, Dan Yangzi, and Mordor also covered their ears.
When Guo Xiaozheng and the others saw this, they followed suit. Everyone stood in the distance and watched as Tao Wu ignited the fuse. As the fuse got closer and closer, it reached the gunpowder in the blink of an eye.
Boom!!!
Another earth-shattering explosion rang out.
This time, the amount of gunpowder was much larger than the previous one. Therefore, when the gunpowder exploded, the resulting explosion was much more powerful. It was far more powerful than before. For a moment, mud and dust flew everywhere.
As the dust settled, a three meter wide crater appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Good, good, very good."
When Yuan Yin saw this scene, he was completely shocked. He even stuttered when he spoke.
Guo Xiaozheng asked, "Your Highness, what weapon is this? A thunderous explosion was heard, and a nearly ten feet deep crater appeared on the ground. Although the crater was not deep, the power of the explosion was simply too strong. If this power were to explode in a crowd, dozens of people would be seriously injured or even killed in an instant. "
Yi Fusheng exclaimed in admiration, "This weapon simply has the power of ghosts and gods. Moreover, with this weapon, His Highness' overall strength would increase by several times. Even in a battle with the enemy, once this weapon was used, it would definitely be of great use. I can say with certainty that the appearance of this new weapon will change the way we fight on the battlefield. "
At this moment, the three of them were completely convinced.
At this moment, they were full of praise.
Du Qi said with a smile, "With this weapon, it will be of great help to us. However, at present, this weapon is still in the stage of being kept a secret. We can't publicize it to the outside world. "
"I understand!"
Guo Xiaozheng and the others all answered in unison.
Everyone's expression was solemn, and they all promised to keep their mouths shut. The people present, whether it was Yuan Yin, Yi Fusheng, Guo Xiaozheng, or Dan Yangzi, were all Du Qi's confidants. And the stronger Du Qi was, the happier they would be.
Therefore, they could keep it a secret.
Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Okay, since you already know the importance of this, I won't say more."
"Yes!"
Everyone answered in unison.
"Report!"
At this moment, another soldier quickly entered.
The soldier reported, "Your Highness, Yi Provincial Governor Luo Yansheng, Xue Rengui, Xiao Yuanqi, and Ma Yuan, the three generals, request an audience."
At this moment, they all came together.
They all came because of the explosion.
After the first explosion in the mansion, whether it was Luo Yansheng, Xue Rengui, or the others, they all received the news. After all, this county was so small that they were all surprised by the sudden loud noise.
At first, they didn't know that there was an explosion in the mansion. It was just that the explosion in the city came suddenly, so their first reaction was to go to the mansion and ask Du Qi to make a decision, and at the same time, to protect Du Qi's safety. However, when they approached the mansion, there was another explosion suddenly. Everyone knew about the explosion in the mansion, so they were even more nervous.
Du Qi ordered them to enter.
Not long after, Luo Yansheng, Xue Rengui, and the others entered together. All of them had anxious expressions on their faces. However, when they arrived and saw Du Qi, Dan Yangzi, and the others, especially when they saw that they were all unharmed, they all heaved sighs of relief.
Luo Yansheng took the lead and said with concern, "Your Highness, there was a huge explosion in the mansion. What the hell was going on? Did it affect Your Highness? "
Xue Rengui, Dan Yangzi, and Dan Yangzi also looked at him with concern.
Du Qi shook his head and explained, "I'm fine. Don't worry. The explosion is not a big deal. It's because the mansion is testing a new weapon. "
Immediately, Du Qi pointed at the two big craters and said, "These two big craters were caused by the new weapon. This new weapon is still in the secret stage and is still in the process of being developed. You know it, but don't leak it. "
"Yes!"
When Luo Yansheng and the others heard that, they didn't say anything else.
Du Qi said that it was still in the development stage, and that it was confidential, so they didn't ask anymore. However, in their hearts, they were all excited. They were also faintly curious because this new weapon was truly powerful.
The explosion had created a huge crater.
The sound of the explosion spread far and wide.
It was shocking.
Du Qi said, "Alright, go do your own things. Don't make this matter public. Also, in the current situation, you should comfort the people and soldiers and calm them down. "
"Yes!"
At this moment, everyone dispersed.
They all began to busy themselves with their own things.
In the back of the mountain, Dan Yangzi looked at Du Qi and said seriously, "Your Highness, I'll go do my own thing."
Du Qi nodded and said, "Be careful."
"Yes!"
Dan Yangzi immediately replied.
Du Qi led Liu Jian and Mordor back to the study. When Du Qi sat down to calm his excited emotions, another attendant came in and said, "Your Highness, Registrar Liu is back. He's outside the courtyard and wants to see you."
"Let him in!"
Du Qi ordered.
There was a look of anticipation on his face.
As for the gold mine that Bard mentioned, it was up to Liu Zhengxi to inspect it with his men. Because if there were fewer minerals in the gold mine, its value wouldn't be great.
If there were more minerals, it would be of great help to Du Qi. Previously, the territory under Du Qi's control wasn't very wide, so it was fine. However, as Du Qi's forces expanded, even if Du Qi was as rich as a country and Du Qi was constantly making money, it wasn't appropriate. Enough minerals were needed to ensure a good operation.
