Chapter 1227 Within the scope of the explosion, is the truth
Although the rules of different worlds are different, Di Xin had actually researched the gunpowder formula of the Ancient Moon World a few years ago.
However, at that time, he had not yet fully established himself in northern Xinjiang, and if he came up with powerful firearms and explosives, the imperial court would definitely come and ask for the formula.
The restrictions on the extraordinary path in this world make it impossible for even the strongest in the second level to ignore the power of gunpowder.
In order to prevent King Cheng or other princes from using firearms and explosives to suppress him, Emperor Xin did not go any further after researching the formula of gunpowder.
He just used gunpowder to make a firework and gave a few women in his house a little surprise that year.
At that time, although God Xin did not manufacture firearms and explosives on the surface, secretly, he had been improving the formula of gunpowder.
As for these things, he originally planned to extend them to the military after he seized power in Dali.
Then, after forming an alliance with the old emperor, Di Xin was keenly aware of the opportunity.
There are no hot weapons in the army in the capital, which shows that King Cheng, who is also the descendant of the World Lord, has the same plan as himself. Those things that can improve the strength of the army will not be promoted until they take control of the power.
This gave Di Xin a chance.
Although the prehistoric world controlled by Di Xin is a world of high demons with countless great powers attributed to him, he, who was formerly a Blue Star man, has never underestimated the power of technology.
And even if the prehistoric world where thousands of great powers are attributed to oneself, it does not exist without external objects.
Those magic weapons and immortal weapons cannot be underestimated in terms of improving their strength.
And even in the realm of Dao like Di Xin, his desire for Dao weapons has not diminished.
Therefore, he deeply understands the huge gap that can be created if one side has hot weapons while the other side can only use cold weapons.
The guards that Di Xin brought with him when he returned to the capital were not more than those in Prince Cheng's palace, but they had the absolute upper hand with the ball explosives in their hands.
Now not only did not a single person rush out from Prince Cheng's Mansion, but there were also countless casualties due to the power of the explosives.
On Di Xin's side, not a single guard was injured.
Even now, Di Xin still has time to see the "scenery".
Although the scenery in front of me is not pleasant.
…
"However, in the end, we can only do this."
The palace guards had a remarkable performance, but Emperor Xin sighed leisurely.
If the role of thermal weapons is to be fully utilized, explosives are not the best choice, firearms are.
For example, a musket.
For example, artillery.
However, with the current manufacturing level of Gu Yuejie, it is far from enough to produce sufficiently precise muskets and artillery.
But it stands to reason that even guns and artillery with errors and shorter service life are much better than explosives simply thrown by hand.
However, once you start making artillery, it is still a trivial matter to train enough craftsmen, but the consumption of a large amount of materials will inevitably attract the attention of the court.
And once attention is drawn, the presence of the firearm may not be concealed.
By then, Di Xin's plan would naturally not be able to proceed normally.
Therefore, he chose a simpler grenade.
As long as there is a stable enough gunpowder formula and a safe activation method, there is almost no difficulty in using grenades, and it is very simple to get started.
The iron sheet wrapping the explosive consumes much less minerals than muskets and artillery.
As long as it is reported as a loss of military training, it will not attract the attention of the court.
In this way, headed by the five blacksmiths who were responsible for the invention of the coal stove on behalf of Di Xin, a group of craftsmen trained by Di Xin began to work overtime.
The level of secrecy surrounding this matter is even higher than in the camp under Eagle Beak Cliff.
In this way, today's surprise was guaranteed.
But it’s natural to give up when you have something to gain.
Although grenades are simple to make and use, their effects are naturally inferior to those of guns and artillery.
For example, the accuracy of a musket.
Although the power of the grenade is not small and has a certain range, it may not be able to kill the person unless it is thrown directly on the person.
Although there are many broken limbs among the collapsed walls and gates, the repeated cries of pain prove that many people survived the explosion.
Through the splashing smoke, it can also be seen that several people with quick reactions even avoided the scope of the explosion early.
And if there is a musket, then the practitioner's five senses can easily train the accuracy of aiming. The bullets fired through the barrel are not comparable to the bombs thrown by hand, and almost no one can dodge them.
What's more, the range of the artillery.
Even Zeng Hongshen, who had innate cultivation, could not throw a grenade from outside the mansion directly to the center of Prince Cheng's palace, let alone those who only had acquired martial arts cultivation.
It doesn't take much. If there are three cannons here, Di Xin can directly blow up the entire Prince Cheng's Mansion into ruins.
And the power of artillery shells is not comparable to grenades.
The royal guards and the powerful men of the second realm can all be bulldozed by the power of artillery.
But now, because they only had grenades in their hands, Di Xin and his guards could only push forward slowly by stepping on the blasted area.
In this way, the final disadvantage of grenades is inevitable.
Although the power of grenades is not small, in order to prevent accidental injuries, they can only be thrown far away, and once they are close, they are basically useless.
It would be fine if the people we were dealing with were ordinary people.
By virtue of dying together, these grenades can also play a certain role.
However, although the Ancient Moon World is only a low-demon world, the path to transcendence still exists after all, and it cannot be dismissed without a high upper limit.
After embarking on the path of cultivation, the physical fitness of cultivators has exceeded that of ordinary people.
And with the improvement of cultivation level, physical fitness also continues to strengthen.
The five senses and reactions of practitioners are very sensitive.
Their five senses allow them to detect the impact points of those grenades, and their body reactions allow them to avoid the scope of the explosion in time.
The reason why the guards of Prince Cheng's Mansion suffered heavy losses was because, firstly, this was the first time they saw grenades, and they had no idea that the ball thrown at them would explode. Although they escaped the fate of being hit, they did not leave the scope of the explosion.
The second reason is that too many grenades were thrown at the same time, covering the entire area.
The coverage area of the grenade is where the truth lies.
The guards of the Prince's Palace could dodge one or two grenades, but they could not dodge the explosion range of all grenades.
And once you are injured by a grenade, it will be even more difficult to avoid subsequent grenade bombardments.
Not to mention, among the guards under Emperor Xin, some of the advanced ones threw grenades faster and more violently, making it impossible to dodge even if they wanted to.
But it's different when you get close.
To the people of the Ancient Moon World, gunpowder and grenades had just been invented, but to Di Xin they were just familiar things reproduced in another world.
Therefore, he will naturally avoid some pitfalls that have been stepped on by his predecessors from the beginning.
