Another cannon shot rang out, and the sound shook the field.
The people in Jinguan City have long been accustomed to these sounds. When they heard this sound, only some people raised their heads or turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound. There was no pause in the work in their hands.
Even the chickens and ducks raised in the tribe, as well as the dogs scattered around the tribe, did not feel the slightest panic about this, and continued to do whatever they should do.
After such a long time, the species living here in Jinguan City have become accustomed to these sounds.
…
"Boom!"
There was an extremely loud roar, and many rocks flew out from the smoke.
Seeing the many broken stones that appeared in front of them with the sound of the cannon, everyone present couldn't help being stunned!
It was a late summer morning in the Tieshan residential area. The tranquility that belonged to the early morning was broken by the explosion.
People who saw the power of gunpowder for the first time were as stunned as the people of the Jinguancheng tribe who saw the power of gunpowder for the first time.
After standing here for a while, someone couldn't help but gasp!
Even the elders in the tribe, the second senior brother who was left by Han Cheng to take charge of the overall situation in the Tieshan residential area, was also stunned at this time.
After a while, he looked frightened and spoke to Han Cheng with some concealed excitement: "God, Son of God, this, how is this thing so powerful?"
…
"Boom!"
There was another sound, and the birds perched around them flapped their wings and flew away in panic.
Amidst the smoke of gunpowder, the second senior brother couldn't help but beam with joy.
"Son of God, this is really a good thing! If an enemy comes here, I will light this thing and throw it out to them. After the explosion, even if it cannot defeat them, it will frighten them.
They were scared to death!"
The second senior brother, who had just lit an explosive bag with his own hands and threw it far away, listened to the loud noise and looked at the smoke that had not dissipated in front of him, and said to Han Cheng excitedly.
Han Cheng smiled and nodded, then shook his head again.
"This explosive pack is very good for blowing up enemy tribes' caves, but it is a bit inappropriate for throwing it outside.
On the one hand, this thing is too big and not easy to throw. On the other hand, the explosive bag itself is not strong enough. If thrown, it will easily fall to the ground and break.
Moreover, although the impact generated after it explodes is not small, it still tastes a little different after all.
If its shell was replaced by one that could not be broken when thrown, but the gunpowder inside could be blown to pieces after it exploded, then its power would be gratifying.
Not to mention the sound and impact caused by the explosion, just the fragments that are shattered by the explosion of gunpowder and splashed around can cause great damage!
It is not impossible that people who are close to you, or those who are more unlucky, will be directly penetrated by the flying fragments!
And this is where the real killing move and power of this weapon lies."
Han Cheng said this to his second senior brother.
After hearing what Han Cheng said, the second senior brother suddenly felt a lot of longing in his heart.
"Son of God, it would be great if such a thing could be made. It would be better if it could be made lighter so that I can throw it out with a sling. If an enemy really comes, I will lead the people to throw this weapon out with a sling.
Throw it hard, hit this person first, and after hitting the person, it will explode, blowing up those people..."
The second senior brother said this with excitement, and he couldn't help but get excited as he spoke.
This guy has obviously sketched out this wonderful scene in his mind.
When Han Cheng saw this, he couldn't help but want to laugh, and also felt a little emotional.
Second Senior Brother also has some gray hair on his head.
However, some things have not disappeared in the passing years.
For example, in terms of attacking the enemy's enthusiasm...
"Right."
After Han Cheng came over for a while, he seemed to remember something and spoke to his second senior brother.
"Gunpowder is extremely powerful and lethal. It is very useful to tribes, but it is also extremely dangerous. It needs to be well preserved and the formula should be kept secret to the greatest extent.
Especially the gunpowder with better effect based on the original ordinary gunpowder technology.
When mining, things like placing gunpowder and lighting fires cannot be done by slaves in the tribe, but must be done by citizens in the tribe. What the slaves need to do is carry stones and sift ore.
Slaves in the tribe are not allowed to touch gunpowder, and even third-level citizens in the tribe are not allowed to touch it. Only second-level citizens and above can touch these things.
Of course, this does not mean that everyone from second-level citizens to above can have access to these. There is also a need to make a selection among these people, and let those who have the ability, confidence, and enthusiasm for this matter do it.
Let’s study this matter in depth..."
Han Cheng explained to his second senior brother seriously.
This matter must be properly explained. Things like gunpowder are indeed too important.
And the power is really too great!
Without strict restrictions, Han Cheng himself would not be able to rest assured.
Especially when there are people like slaves in the tribe.
If any slave is unhappy, has a lot of dissatisfaction with the tribe, and has mastered something like gunpowder, he will risk his life by secretly poking at some important places in the tribe and blowing up important people.
Just imagining the consequences will make people shudder, and they have to be extremely careful.
Han Cheng gave the explanation solemnly, and the second senior brother couldn't help but become solemn as well.
Recalling what he had seen in the past two days about the power of gunpowder, the second senior brother nodded even more solemnly.
This thing is indeed just as the Son of God said, it is too important and dangerous. It is related to the property and personal safety of the tribe. I really need to be extremely careful...
At an iron stove in the Tieshan residential area, craftsmen from several tribes are pouring some hot red molten iron that has just come out of the furnace into a row of molds.
After a lot of work, there were some fist-sized iron shells with empty centers.
The shape of the iron shell is somewhat similar to an edible vegetable called bergamot, but it is more like the grenade that can often be seen in later anti-Japanese war movies and TV dramas.
In fact, the things these people are making are indeed grenade shells.
The graphics were naturally obtained from Han Cheng, the Son of God.
…
"Stand behind the earth wall and throw it away. After throwing it out, immediately hide your body behind the earth wall and never show your head."
Behind a thick earth wall made of rammed earth, the second senior brother Han Cheng said solemnly.
The second senior brother nodded vigorously to indicate that he understood, and then used a fire stick to light the fuse of the object in his hand.
After lighting it, he immediately threw it far away with force.
And just as Han Cheng said, after throwing the thing out, without any hesitation, he lowered his body and hid his whole body behind the thick earth wall.
A moment later, there was a roar.
After the roar sounded for about two or three seconds, Han Chengcai and his second senior brother stood up from behind the earth wall and went to check the results just now.
The result was not very good.
The sound just now was loud and the explosion was complete.
But this shell made of iron was not blown open.
If you just listen to this result, it is indeed an excellent thing, because you can continue to use it.
But this is obviously not in line with what Han Cheng has in mind.
In Han Cheng's mind, the iron shell should be able to explode with the explosion.
In this way, the power of the grenade can be expanded and the lethality can be doubled.
The current iron shell looks like this, obviously it's not going to work.
"Go back and throw out the remaining grenades one by one to see if any of them are successful."
Han Cheng took the grenade shell that had not been exploded and looked at it for a while before speaking to his second senior brother.
Then the two of them returned behind the wall together.
Then not long after, there was a series of sounds.
After the noises stopped, Han Cheng and his second senior brother walked behind the earthen wall again to check the results.
The results were not good.
There were a total of twenty grenades, fourteen of them were intact, and the remaining five had some cracks.
What was really blown up were some iron pieces that fell off the whole thing, but only one.
Moreover, the fragments that were blown off from the grenade shell only flew a distance of half a meter, and did not have much power.
This is undoubtedly a complete failure.
Han Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this. When he was smelting iron in the past, he was always worried that the quality of the iron was not good enough and would not be durable.
However, now, I am a little worried because the quality of the iron is too good...
"Let's see if we can make the iron brittle so that it won't break when thrown, but the gunpowder inside will explode and explode the grenade shell."
Here in the Tieshan residential area, after testing the quality of the grenade shells, Han Cheng and his second brother came to an iron smelting furnace and explained to the people who are now mainly engaged in making grenade shells, saying,
issued the latest requirements.
After a few people understood Han Cheng's request, they opened a small book and read it, and then quickly started a new round of iron smelting.
At this time, the people in the tribe still have some experience in smelting iron...
Time passes little by little, and the planted rice grows, heads, blooms, and bears fruit day by day. Day by day it becomes plump and gradually turns golden.
When a gust of autumn wind blows by, there will immediately be the sound of the branches and leaves rubbing together.
Some people had already begun to roll up their trousers, holding sickles in their hands, and beheaded the heavy ears of rice one by one.
"Boom!"
It was at this time that the Tieshan residential area, where smoke was often rising, once again started to rise, and in contrast, there were several continuous roars.
Behind the earthen wall, Han Cheng, his second senior brother, and two other people stood up and headed towards the smoke-filled place.
After a while, several people arrived here.
This place looked very messy. Many pits were blasted out on the ground, and some soil was lifted up and scattered around.
Of course, in addition to these, there are also some scraps of iron.
Looking at the obviously missing iron fragments on the ground, and looking for some iron fragments in the surrounding trees and further afield, Han Cheng, his second senior brother, and others couldn't help but have brilliant expressions on their faces.
smile.
The two technical talents who followed me and had been working hard on the grenade shell for more than two months in the past two months were even more excited!
In these days, they themselves can't remember how many times they and others have failed, and they can't even remember how much suffering they and others have suffered.
Now, finally, all the hard work has come to an end and we have achieved the desired results!
How could they not be excited when faced with such a thing?
One of them couldn't help but shed tears after the Son of God slapped him on the shoulder...
"Mea~"
The cry of sheep sounded outside the earthen wall, along with the crow of chickens.
"boom!"
An explosion followed, and the screams of the animals suddenly became even more shrill.
However, there were also the sounds of some animals, which suddenly stopped.
Han Cheng and his second senior brother walked out from behind the earthen wall and came to the place where the explosion had just occurred.
Han Cheng bent down and picked up a battered chicken that had been blown up. He looked at the sheep tied there next to him. He was bleeding and whining, but it was obvious that he would not survive for a long time. He couldn't help but nodded.
.
This grenade is filled with the latest gunpowder, and its power is still very good.
A sheep covered in skin would be killed by such a powerful blow, let alone a person whose skin is far inferior to that of a sheep!
Up to now, the grenades in the tribe cannot be said to be a big success, but they can be said to be a small success.
At least it can be put into actual combat.
For the tribe, this is simply a feat that spans the ages!
Here in the Tieshan residential area, there is a scene of joy, and sumptuous meals are prepared and laid out for everyone to eat and drink.
Among them, two people were the most conspicuous, sitting in the most conspicuous place, accompanied by Shenzi and the second senior brother, the leader of the Tieshan residential area.
Moreover, the food placed in front of them looked richer than the food placed in front of ordinary people. It was cooked by Han Cheng, the Son of God himself.
This is to commend them!
Everyone looked at this scene and felt extremely envious.
But no one felt that these two people did not deserve such treatment.
After all, they have seen the power of grenades with their own eyes!
