Chapter 1082 Don’t worry, I’m not a fool who stops eating because of choking (please subscribe and vote)

A huge sound wave instantly hit the mountain with exposed rocks on both sides.

The rocks that were originally eroded by wind, frost, rain and dew rolled downwards.

The sound wave bounced back after hitting the mountain walls on both sides, and once again impacted forward.

A group of important civil and military officials from the Tang Dynasty were present. The first wave of roaring made their ears ring in their ears immediately, and then the second wave of sound came over.

Everyone felt only a buzzing sound, as if the sound had disappeared, and the sound wave seemed to turn into a strong wind, causing everyone to squint their eyes.

Li Shimin stared hard, and the huge ball of flames expanded in all directions.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the flames were quietly replaced by billowing smoke, and the billowing smoke flew upwards.

And below, the dummies who were standing firmly all fell to the ground with the center of the explosion as a dot.

But the two armored dummies in the center had been blown into pieces and thrown several feet away...

A group of people were picking their ears as they moved closer, and everyone's steps seemed so cautious.

Even if it's an experienced driver like Hou Junji or Changsun Wuji who doesn't express emotions or emotions.

At this moment, the hippopotamus opened his mouth wide and enjoyed the sunshine at noon.

In the middle, there is a deep pit nearly a foot long, and all the dummies around it have been overturned to the ground.

It was as if the angry God of Thunder had struck the ground with his hammer, creating a huge crater.

Only three of the four dummies in the outer circle were knocked to the ground without any loss.

There was only one dummy left, and a piece of broken shrapnel penetrated the leather armor and penetrated deeply into the dummy's body.

Li Shimin finally couldn't help but reached out and took out his ears, shook his head, and waved to Cheng Chubi.

Cheng Chubi rushed forward, and Li Shimin raised his voice and shouted, "Cheng Sanlang! Can you hear me?"

Seeing His Majesty talking loudly while picking his ears, Cheng Chubi almost felt happy.

What's this called? If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences. However, seeing his father next to him grinning and picking out his ears, Cheng Chubi decided not to complain about it.

"Uncle, you don't have to be so loud, I can hear you."

"Why is this thing so powerful?"

"Uncle, the grenade just now only contained three ounces of gunpowder. This thing weighs two kilograms. The amount of powder alone is nearly seven times that of that one."

Although there was still some tinnitus in his ears, Li Jing's face turned red as his hearing gradually recovered.

"Cheng Sanlang, this thing, can you control when it explodes from such a distance?"

Cheng Chubi nodded matter-of-factly and pointed to the hillside about dozens of feet away.

"This is natural. As long as this cable is long enough, I can even stand on the other side of the mountain and control it..."

"If you don't control it, will it explode on its own?"

Qin Qiong came closer and slapped Cheng Chubi on the shoulder. His face was also red with excitement.

After hearing this, Cheng Chubi understood that what Uncle Qin meant was to ask if it could be made into a trigger landmine.

Cheng Chubi smacked his mouth, but still spoke the truth.

"This is not impossible, but in that case, this thing will become very dangerous, and no one can be sure when it will be triggered."

"It's even possible that if you're not careful during installation, the mechanism will be triggered."

Thinking of such power, Qin Qiong's face turned pale. It would have been triggered during installation.

Come on, don't think about anything, there will definitely be no one left alive.

"My dear nephew, how much can this thing produce in a month?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that this thing is a very dangerous thing. It must be guarded and guarded tightly. It must not be left outside..."

At this moment, both civil servants and generals, after seeing the deep pit blown by the mine, were so excited that they couldn't express their opinions in a sentence.

Li Shimin was once again so confused that he could only raise his hands to suppress the chattering ministers.

#####

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not make any announcement on the spot, but before leaving, he rewarded Cheng Chubi with two thousand pieces of gold and two thousand pieces of silk.

Li Chengguang was given a thousand pieces of gold and a thousand bolts of silk, and all the craftsmen were also rewarded.

On the way back to Chang'an, Li Shimin called Cheng Chubi to him and deliberately walked a dozen steps forward, leaving behind all the civil and military personnel of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin slowly rode his horse and looked north along the bank of Ba River. He glanced at Cheng Chubi, shook his head and sighed.

"Cheng Sanlang, you really gave me a big problem."

After hearing this, Cheng Chubi immediately reacted, not just those civil servants.

Even among the generals, there are a few who are opposed to this kind of hot weapon. It's not that it's not powerful enough, but it's too powerful.

I feel that this thing is not like a cold weapon. Its terrifying level has already begun to make people feel the power and terror of gunpowder weapons.

"Why did uncle say this? Is it because they said that this thing is very dangerous?"

"In fact, in my nephew's opinion, a knife can kill people, but it can also be used to treat illnesses and save people.

Therefore, whether a knife is a good tool depends on the person in whose hands it is."

After hearing this, Li Shimin stroked his long beard and looked towards Cheng Chubi in astonishment.

"Why, could it be that this gunpowder weapon can not only kill people, but also save people?"

After hearing such questions, Cheng Chubi smiled confidently and saluted Li Shimin.

"Uncle, since you saw its astonishing destructive power, you only considered its use on the battlefield.

But think about it from another perspective, just like when we mined mountains and mines in the Tang Dynasty, in the past we could only rely on manpower to burn water and pour water.

Not only does it consume a lot of manpower and material resources, but the effect is not good, but if you use this thing, you may be able to obtain a large amount of ore in just a few times.

When building roads, if there are rocks blocking the road ahead, you can use this device to cut rocks.

In addition, the construction of buildings and bridges in the Tang Dynasty required a large amount of stone materials.

In the past, if the stone was removed manually, it would not only be very labor-intensive, but also very time-consuming. Now if we use this tool to open the stone..."

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Chubi, who was riding beside him and talking freely, but he really couldn't think of anything to refute.

Cheng Chubi's words really surprised Li Shimin.

"I didn't expect that my nephew, your vision is so broad, that you can think of so many uses for that gunpowder. It's really rare."

"But why do I feel like you are worried that I will abandon this thing because of its huge destructive power?"

Seeing Li Shimin stroking his long beard and looking very happy, Cheng Chubi smacked his mouth.

I am embarrassed to say that this was influenced by the conservative governing thinking of a feudal dynasty that was both unenlightened and closed-minded.

Li Shimin believed in the horse's rein and continued to move forward, looking far into the distance.

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool who refuses to eat because of choking."

"Whether the firearm is sharp or not depends on who is using it."

"You can just supervise the construction with Li Chengguang. If you have any difficulties, just come to me."

"In addition, you said that if you want to use these weapons well, you need a long period of professional training, right? Let's talk to me later..."

After hearing these words, Cheng Chubi looked at the tall figure of His Majesty Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and saluted him with sincerity and respect.
