The structure of the Fat Man is different from that of conventional Kongming lanterns. Because it is too big to be hoisted with ropes, it can only be supported by a bamboo frame.
The design of the fuse device is also different from that of other bombs. It is not locked at the wick, but connected to the lampshade.
According to the set time, after reaching the target location, a special fuse will be triggered, which will directly ignite the lampshade, and the bamboo basket at the bottom will fall off, triggering the fuse of the giant bomb at the same time.
Next, it’s time to witness the miracle!
In the Ming army's position, everyone raised their heads and stared at the big fireball over Constantinople.
"coming!"
Someone shouted, with great excitement in his words.
Needless to say, this person must be from the Academy of Sciences and participated in the research and development of Fatty.
Zhu Qizhen immediately became nervous. When he originally designed this thing, it was purely a whim. When will our Ming Dynasty enter the age of nuclear weapons?
Unexpectedly, the Academy of Sciences is so powerful that it actually managed to create such a big guy.
What's even more unexpected is that just using the most primitive Kongming Lantern can make this big thing fly.
The power of a bomb does not mean how many explosives it contains, but how much it can move.
There are a lot of explosives in the ammunition depot, but they can only blow up your own people.
Therefore, when the Academy of Sciences completed the design of the super-large Kongming Lantern, Zhu Qizhen was shocked.
He even had a hunch that maybe in the near future, these scholars would really be able to develop a nuclear bomb...
In the night sky, the fire suddenly became brighter, like a supernova explosion.
After a brief flash, the fire quickly extinguished, leaving only a black shadow that hit the ground like a meteorite.
The devout Ottomans were still praying, but found that the surroundings turned dark again.
Where is God?
People didn't know why, so they looked up and looked for their miracles.
boom--
Ten feet above the ground, Fatty exploded.
This distance is calculated and the error is controlled to be very small. It can be said that it is very successful.
However, such success was a devastating blow to the Ottomans.
In the Ming army's position, Zhu Qizhen saw with his own eyes a huge fireball and a rising mushroom cloud.
The surrounding ground was shaking. You can imagine what it was like for the Ottomans who were within the scope of the explosion.
At that moment, Constantinople seemed like daylight.
Ancient granite buildings were destroyed by the shock wave generated by the explosion. No man-made building can withstand such force.
Zhu Qiyu was already shocked. After a long time, he said: "Brother, the power of this fat man is really..."
It was difficult for him to find suitable adjectives, because in his knowledge, such power did not exist.
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "This war can be over."
"Shall we attack now?"
"Don't worry, let's go to bed. We will launch a general attack early tomorrow morning."
The Ming army's position was peaceful. It was time to sleep, eat, and prepare for the decisive battle.
The next day, the morning sun rose as usual.
The artillery of the Shenji Battalion was pulled out again, lined up in a row, and aimed at the hole-riddled city wall, preparing to launch a fatal blow.
Chen Ying took command from the center and said: "Aim all the guns at the city gate and blast a way out for me!"
Although the city gate is filled with bricks, stones and debris, it is still the weakest point compared to the city wall made of granite.
"Prepare!"
The herald standing in the front row raised the flag in his hand, and when the flag fell, thousands of cannons fired.
"Wait a moment!"
Chen Ying suddenly changed his order. The messenger's hand shook and he almost dropped it.
At the city gate, the scattered stones that had been bombarded by cannons collapsed. Several people walked out, holding a stick in their hands. They tore a piece of white cloth from somewhere and inserted it into one end of the stick to serve as a white flag.
"Go with a few people and see what happens!"
"yes!"
In the position, a small team rode out and came to the city gate.
When the Ottomans leaving the city saw the Ming army, they hurriedly waved the white flags in their hands and at the same time shouted, sometimes mixed with a few jerky Chinese sentences.
"Surrender, stop fighting, surrender..."
…
An hour later, the city gate was completely cleared.
Li Zhen led three thousand battalions into the city first to prevent an ambush and sneak attack.
However, when he took the first step into the city gate, he knew that he had been worrying too much.
As far as the eye can see, there is ruins.
The whole of Constantinople has become a hell on earth, with charred corpses lying scattered on the streets, collapsed buildings everywhere, and the struggling and wailing of seriously injured and dying people.
The people here never imagined that what came to them last night was not their true god, but the God of Death.
After this battle, more than half of the soldiers and civilians in the city were killed or injured, countless buildings were destroyed, and it was a mess.
The Three Thousand Battalion quickly took over the city defense. However, the city defense was no longer important at this time. Soldiers only needed to be stationed in various streets and intersections to stabilize the situation.
Zhu Qizhen rode a tall horse and walked slowly into the city gate.
Behind him, King Zhu Qiyu, Duke of Jing Chen Ying, Academy of Sciences Bei Lin and others followed closely behind.
Everyone was shocked by the sight before them. The Academy of Sciences... was so terrifying!
After Beilin entered the city, she immediately led people to the place where the fat man fell.
It is very easy to identify here. Anyone who is not blind can see it. It is a huge circular pit in the ground.
"Record data!"
"yes!"
The Academy of Sciences does things neatly. They never care about how many people died or how many buildings were destroyed in this battle.
Their focus is only on whether their scientific research results are successful. For example, the fat man last night completely confirmed the theoretical feasibility. It is very important to collect data as soon as possible.
Tong Xuan stood at the edge of the pit, feeling frightened in his heart.
What if... what if, I didn't check carefully last night, I didn't see any flaws, and it exploded on the spot...
Beilin is right, if something goes wrong with this thing, the Academy of Sciences will really be the one to blame!
What's even more frightening is that this thing appeared in the military camp at the same time as the emperor...
Tong Xuan suddenly felt a chill on his back, and secretly swore in his heart that if he touches this thing in the future, he must check it carefully, not to mention three times, thirty times is not too many.

Zhu Qizhen led a large group of troops to the Topkapi Palace and saw that the palace gates were all in ruins, and the unique mottled patterns of granite were exposed in the stubble.
This is the most intact building in Constantinople, but it is also riddled with holes.
At the palace gate, there were about a hundred people kneeling.
Some of them were wearing armor, some were wearing casual clothes, and they all bowed down and bowed down.
One of them said cautiously: "The guilty ministers and others respectfully welcome His Majesty the Ming Emperor!"
Zhu Qizhen squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you Han?"
"I am...nor am I. My father is Han Chinese and my mother is Eastern Roman. I was born on a boat, on the sea..."
This person stammered for a long time and roughly explained his identity.
His name is Carle. His father was originally a merchant who was engaged in maritime smuggling, and his mother was an Eastern Roman prostitute who was engaged in the flesh business. The two fell in love over time, and they had this mixed-race boy who could speak Chinese.
Zhu Qizhen asked: "What is your status here?"
"I have no identity, I am just a businessman. I have been to the Ming Dynasty. The porcelain and silk there are very popular, and every time I make huge profits..."
"Whatever I ask you, just say it, don't talk nonsense!"
"Yes, yes...Excuse me, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
"You have no identity, why are you here? Who are they?"
"I am the translator. They are all defenders in the city. To show their sincerity, they captured King Muhad and some nobles, right there..."
Kalai pointed to a corner, where several people were tied up in random directions, their clothes, beards and hair all burnt black. If he hadn't told them, who would have known that there was a king of the Ottoman Empire here?
Zhu Qizhen asked again: "Which one is the king?"
"this one!"
Kalai stepped forward, pointed at one of them and said.
"Call him over!"
"Can't make it..."
Kalai shook his head and said, "He was knocked unconscious."
"Um?"
"When we caught him, he wanted to commit suicide, and then... he was knocked unconscious..."
Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but laugh. The majestic king of the Ottoman Empire had fallen to such a low level.
Kalai pointed at another blackened corpse and said: "This is Kasha, named Hafez, who was killed by the bomb. The one in green clothes is Duke Hilde, who is in charge of money and food, and..."
Although this person is a businessman, he knows a lot about the Ottoman upper class, so I will introduce them one by one.
It can be seen that the sincerity of these people in surrendering is quite remarkable. Led by King Muhad, almost all the nobles and ministers in the city were arrested.
Some even died on the spot and their bodies were carried over.
Zhu Qizhen nodded with satisfaction. With Kalai and these surrendered commanders, a lot of unnecessary trouble was saved.
The Ottomans implemented a caste system, similar to that of the Yuan Dynasty, which divided the world into several levels.
Among them, the status of the army is not high, just slightly higher than that of craftsmen, farmers and prostitutes. Therefore, these people have always been obedient to the nobles on the outside but hateful on the inside.
To put it bluntly, I will send you to death, and I will eat the meat. If you want to drink soup, it depends on my mood.
After the battle last night, the palace guards were the first to rebel. They knew that if they continued to resist to the end, they would be dead.
It is better to tie up the king before the Ming army enters the city, and then open the city gate to greet him, and maybe he can save his life.
At this time, Muhad woke up leisurely, looking at everything in front of him, he could only smile bitterly.
Look at the tall horse in front of you, and the man wearing golden armor on the horse... Thinking of it, this is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He looks young, only thirty years old at most, but the calmness on his face is completely
Doesn't look like a young man.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Muhad suddenly laughed like crazy.
Zhu Qizhen said to Kalai: "Ask him, why are you laughing?"
Kalai turned around to send a message, and Muhad said: "Kill me, the Ottomans will not surrender! We still have an army of 200,000 people, and tens of millions of people. Don't think you have won!"
"And you, bitch, piece of shit!"
Muhad suddenly cursed at Kalai: "What qualifications do you have to stand here?"
"This is Topkapi Palace, not your pirate father's merchant ship, and your bitch mother is not here!"
Kalai's face was ugly, but he still relayed the original words word for word.
Zhu Qizhen said: "Tell him, I am the Son of the Ming Dynasty. I came today not to start a war with the Ottomans, but because there are traitors in your court. These people have ulterior motives and instigated the king to detain my Ming Dynasty patrol envoy and intercept my Ming Dynasty ship.
team to instigate friendly relations between Ming Dynasty and Osman, therefore, I am here to help King Muhad eliminate the traitors!"
After hearing this, Karai was stunned.
At this moment, he had doubts about his ability.
Is it because I haven’t been to Ming Dynasty for a long time and my Chinese is unfamiliar?
Why can't you understand...
Zhu Qizhen saw him in a daze and said impatiently: "What are you doing in a daze? Tell me!"
Kalai scratched his head and then told Muhad.
This time, it was Muhad's turn to be confused.
Could it be that Kalai, the profiteer, mistranslated it?
You bombed my Constantinople like this and then said you don't want to fight with me?
And help me get rid of the traitors...
You should tell me who the traitor is?
"Karai, did you hear correctly?"
Kalai nodded and said: "King Muhad, although I dislike you very much, I can tell you responsibly that these words were said by His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and they are absolutely correct."
Muhad thought for a while and said: "Since you are here to help me, well, you tell him that it was Hafez Kasha's idea to seize the people and ships of the Ming Dynasty. I agree to hand over the people to them." , and returned the Ming Dynasty fleet, if necessary, the Ottoman Empire will also provide a sum of gold as compensation."
Kalai relayed it in Chinese, then closed his mouth and waited for a reply.
Zhu Qizhen chuckled and said: "Since King Muhad insists on protecting the traitor, there is nothing more to say."
"no……"
Kalai thought he had not made it clear, so he hurriedly said: "King Muhad promised to hand over Hafez Kasha..."
"You don't have to say it anymore!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand to stop him and said: "The Ming Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire are friendly countries. They could have lived in harmony. Now there are traitors causing trouble. As the king, he does not distinguish between black and white and shields the traitors. He is not only an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, but also the Ottoman Empire." Tens of thousands of people are our enemies!"
"Your Majesty the Emperor, King Muhad promised to hand over..."
Kalai was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, and he thought to himself, where did he say something wrong?
"I know, you said it very clearly, and his meaning is also very clear. Since we are ready to fight to the end, we must give an explanation to the people of the two countries!"
"That...I mean..."
"You don't need to tell me, I already know how to do it."
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, and Yuan Bin stepped forward and drew the sword from his waist.
Muhad was shocked and said quickly: "Kalay, how did you translate it?"
"I translated it just as you said!"
"Then what's going on?"
"I, I... don't know!"
Muhad couldn't help but get angry and cursed: "You piece of shit, are you trying to hurt me?"
"I don't……"
Kalai looked aggrieved and explained: "I, I don't know what happened!"
