Xu Lai took Qiu Dongye, Tian Zhen and the others walked through a small door under the high wall, embarked on another road, and walked in an inner direction.

"Master Qiu, there are two different systems in the City of Power. Just now you saw the power that His Majesty called another world. What you want to take you to see is the power that destroys the world in His Majesty's mouth. In fact, that is the real meaning of His Majesty's call you over." Xu Lai's tone was relaxed, but Qiu Dongye felt a little astringent in his mouth. After seeing the power of the steam engine, he became more expectant of the so-called power that destroys the world. You must know that after he invented weapons such as Thunderbolt Fire, His Majesty just said a good thing.

What exactly is the thing that can make His Majesty praise so much?

"The development of this thing is not here." As he walked, Xu Lai introduced: "The team specially developed it was on a small island on the sea. Because that thing was too dangerous, many people have died from the beginning of development. After exploring it, we finally had a complete process and precautions, which reduced the accident rate. However, on the island, in order to improve the power of this thing, the research team will always adjust their thinking and add some strange things to it, so sometimes the research process is completely uncontrollable. Just yesterday, news came that another accident occurred on the island, and three people died, one of which was a master who made significant contributions in the research process."

Speaking of this, Xu Lai sighed.

"Uncontrollable?" Qiu Dongye was a little surprised.

"Yes, in order to improve his strength, sometimes uncontrollable situations will occur." Xu Lai nodded: "But the products produced here are mature and the production process has been determined, so the danger has been minimized. As long as you pay attention to the operation during the production process, there will be no problems."

"This thing has growth potential? Can it continuously enhance its power?" Qiudongye keenly grasped the focus of the problem.

"Yes, Your Majesty said, there is no end to this weapon." Xu Lai said word by word.

Qiudongye immediately took a breath of cold air.

"So the research team was set up on that island, and the final mature products were set up here." Xu Lai pointed to the deep canyon ahead, in the deep canyon, rows of bungalows on the hillside. "The salaries of all the craftsmen who produce this kind of thing can be comparable to the salaries of the two of us. Of course, they also lost a lot of things before they received such a generous salary, for example, they were not allowed to leave the City of Power within five years."

“That is, the confidentiality level of this thing is set to be five years?”

"Within five years, his confidentiality level will be the highest level. After five years, the confidentiality level will drop to ordinary, because both Your Majesty and us are convinced that in five years, the things we produce now are already behind, and then, more advanced things will inevitably be developed." Xu Lai said.

"Mr. Xu, what is that?"

"Gunpowder!" Xu Lai spit out two words.

After walking forward for a while, a high wall appeared in front of the two of them. When they stepped into the door, there was a huge hall. An official had been waiting here with a smile: "Mr. Xu, Lord Qiu, please change your clothes."

"Changing clothes?" Qiu Dongye was a little puzzled.

"There can't be a slight Mars or something that may produce Mars." Xu Lai said: "So you can't see any fire-driven objects here, or even metal objects. You are wearing silk-woven clothes, which are also forbidden here."

"Why?" Qiu Dongye asked in confusion.

Xu Lai smiled: "Mr. Qiu, sometimes when you take off your clothes in the dark, will you find that these silk objects will flash light and make a snap sound when they rub against each other."

Akihiro thought about it, "It seems to be so."

"That's it. If you wear such clothes and happen to be in such a situation, and then just in the environment of gunpowder, it will be a tragedy."

"So evil?" Qiu Dongye said in surprise.

"This is the experience our researchers have exchanged for their lives. Let's go and change clothes. Everyone can only wear clothes woven in cotton, even if His descendant inspects here." Xu Lai said.

After changing clothes, the two of them appeared in front of the official again. Xu Lai ordered: "Master Qiu came here today mainly to see the power of this thing. As for how it was produced, there is no need to go and see it. Arrange it and take different types of gunpowder to the experimental field for Lord Qiu to observe. Whether the things you have worked hard to maximize their power on the battlefield depends on the future use of Lord Qiu in reality."

The official nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Lord Xu, it will take some time to prepare. Should the two lords go to the lounge for a while first, and wait until everything is ready, the lords will come and invite the two lords."

"Okay, go and do your business." Xu Lai nodded.

The official hurriedly left, but another official came over and took the two into a room inside. As soon as he walked into the room, Qiu Dongye was attracted by the rows of glass jars placed in the room, and he couldn't help but walk to the front and look carefully.

Each can contains a small number of powdery objects, different sizes and colors. The labels attached to the outside are arranged from the beginning to the back, and now they are ranked ninth.

"Is this gunpowder?" Qiu Dongye was a little stunned when he looked at these powders of different colors. "Can these have the power as great as you said?"

"Is it so powerful? You'll see it in a while?" Xu Lai walked over and pointed to the jar marked No. 1 and said: "This is the first time that the medicine has been prepared. It's powerful. It's very funny. It burns out with a slap of fire. Nothing is left except for a flash of fire."

When I walked to the second jar, "It was a little interesting, and finally it made the sound we wanted, but I heard the sound, but I could only hear it."

"Nothing can be achieved overnight." Qiu Dongye nodded.

"Yes, even if we know the formula, we don't know the ratio of the formula. Moreover, the recipe we know only has a few main ingredients, but the rest is unknown, so we can only explore it slowly behind." Xu Lai pointed to the third jar: "This is the gunpowder we think is in the true sense. Because he finally gave us hope, and later made this thing."

Qiu Dongye looked at the bottle with a small square glass box underneath, and a paper roll was lying quietly inside.

"After igniting, it exploded with a bang, blowing the roll of paper into pieces." Xu Lai said proudly: "Your Majesty said that he finally saw the firecracker again, so we call this thing firecrackers."

"That is to say, he already has the most basic power."

"Yes." Xu Lai said, pointing to the jars behind, "I've found the right way, and things will be relatively simple in the future. From four to nine, the power is constantly increasing. The finished product we produce now is the sample in the jar No. 9. It already has considerable destructive power."

Qiudongye came to the No. 9 jar, stared at it intently, and lay quietly inside with a slightly yellow fine powder, without telling anything special.

"Do you know what the main recipe for this thing is?" Xu Lai asked suddenly, "You may not believe it when you say it. It's extremely simple. There are only three types: saltpeter, sulfone, and charcoal powder."

Qiu Dongye looked at Xu Lai in shock. These three things were not strange at all, but if the three things were mixed together, would they have the power that Xu Lai said?

"The key lies in the ratio and the process of production. Of course, the researchers later added other things to add their power. I won't go into details. Later, you will see the power of these things. As Your Majesty said, if their power can be further increased in the future, then it is not impossible to destroy the world."

Half an hour later, Xu Lai and Qiudongye appeared in a remote place, which was the pharmacy for this gunpowder workshop, which happened to be on the other side of the mountain where the workshop was located.

The two stood on a high place, watching the operators below busy laying out something.

"Let's start with No. 4 later, so that you can have enough understanding of the power of gunpowder." Xu Lai whispered.

Qiu Dongye nodded. If he wanted to transform this thing into a weapon that can be mass destructive on the battlefield in the future, he naturally had to have a detailed understanding of the performance of this thing.

Every time there is a stick of incense on the experimental field, an explosion will be heard, the smoke columns rise and the earth and rocks will fly, especially when the last section of the city wall completely collapsed in the explosion of the No. 9 finished product, Qiudongye completely turned into a dull wooden man.

He finally understood why the place was full of fragments and rags. It turned out that it was blown up by this thing.

Xu Lai looked at Qiu Donglai's expression with satisfaction. Qiu Donglai was the best weapon maker in the Ming Dynasty. Xu Lai himself was good at all kinds of precision mechanisms, and he was not as good as the one in front of him for murderous things. Just looking at Qiu Dongye's expression, he knew that the one in front of him was completely shocked.

On the way back, Qiu Dongye became a little lost. After asking three questions, he couldn't answer one. Most of the time, he looked like he was wandering around the sky, and he muttered a few words inexplicably from time to time, which was similar to what Yu Cong looked like when he saw the steam engine.
