The happy life of a prodigal

After that, it was deafness for a long time, and I couldn't hear any sound, and there was silence between heaven and earth.

It seemed that at this moment, everything in the world disappeared, leaving only myself.

When they recovered from the aftermath of the loud noise and were able to hear some voices, they heard an urgent shout coming from their ears: "Quick! Get the doctor!"

Chapter 3 and One

Everyone looked around and saw a few soldiers carrying stretchers.

On the stretcher, a person was covered with scars all over his body, and let out a miserable howl.

It's not that this kind of thing has happened before, but this time, the injuries on his body are obviously much more serious than before.

There is a doctor in the camp, who is on call [-]/[-], just for fear of accidents.

There are always doctors in the pro-military camps, which is the only one in the whole Chu country.

The wounded were quickly sent to the doctor's camp, and suddenly they heard a burst of noisy discussions not far away.

Then, there was a burst of shouting, the content of which could not be heard clearly.

The few people who spoke before saw this scene and looked at each other, and they could see the color of surprise in each other's eyes.

This situation, more than half a month, seems to be the first time, could it be... the fireworks have been developed?

Everyone got up one after another and walked towards an open space in the southwest corner.

Here, the original lush trees have already been cut down, and the area is nearly three miles away. It can't be said that there is no grass, but there are not many living things.

This... is where those people experimented.

At this moment, the proving ground, which was previously avoided by everyone, was surrounded by You Yulinwei's soldiers.

The few people who spoke before stood on the periphery, unable to see clearly what was going on inside, so they could only ask loudly.

Finally, someone made a gap.

They followed the gap and looked inside.

After seeing what was inside, they were all shocked. They stood there in a daze, with their mouths slightly open, unable to speak for a moment.

I saw flames burning in the experimental site, which was half the size of a football field, and inside was an extremely huge pit, as if a meteorite had landed and hit it.

But they clearly remembered that this place was still a flat land yesterday.

Unless soldiers are used to dig a hole overnight, it is possible to dig such a big hole, otherwise...

I don't know how long it took before they recovered from the state of shock.

At first, the young man who didn't care about this so-called heavy weapon, and even dismissed it, seemed to have seen something incredible, and murmured in an unbelievable tone: "It turned out...it really happened."

............

On the other side, Fang Xiu, who had just arrived at the experiment site, looked at the huge pit and muttered involuntarily: "It's so fast."

Standing behind him is Liang Hu.

Among the Right Feather Forest Guards, most of them are noble children of the capital, or ordinary people in the capital, and few of them have stayed in the cold and bitter frontier.

Fewer people have seen the cruelty of the battlefield and the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Only... Liang Hu.

However, at this moment, standing in front of this huge pit, Liang Hu's heart beat wildly.

Fireworks are actually capable of such power.

As a witness of the battlefield, no one can understand better than him what this thing means.

If this 'firework' can be equipped to the soldiers of Dachu like a sword, then the begging tribe and the prairie wolf cavalry are nothing.

Even the whole world is in the pocket of Da Chu.

Ordinary school captains or onlookers, when they see this huge pit, the first thing they think of is its terrifying power.

And then... nothing.

Liang Hu was different. He had participated in countless battles with the grassland tribes, and he knew that what this thing showed was not just its power.

The most important thing is its deterrent effect.

The sound like thunder, and the power of a meteorite falling to the ground, if added together, it is equivalent to God's punishment from the sky.

This was a huge blow to the morale of the enemy.

No army can withstand this kind of blow, not even the prairie wolf riding on the grassland.

Looking at the huge crater in front of him, Liang Hu almost shed tears.

Not to mention these ancients, even Fang Xiu, a person who traveled from modern times, saw the power of gunpowder for the first time in reality.

The shock that this giant pit brought to him was no less than that of the ordinary soldiers beside him.

It's just that the shock lasted for a short time.

After all, it came from modern times. Although I haven't seen the real thing, I have seen it in various TV dramas and computers.

So, not too shocked.

After a while, he waved his hand and said calmly, "What are you all doing here? Let's all disperse."

Because the onlookers were all in shock, there were not many voices of discussion.

As soon as Fang Xiu opened his mouth, everyone heard him clearly. He raised his eyes and saw that it was the general who spoke, they hurriedly backed up a few steps, and stood neatly in a queue.

All of this seemed to be just a trivial matter in daily life, so natural.

Can......

If the generals of the sixteen guards saw it, they would be shocked and speechless.

What is the highest level of leadership?

If you ask those generals, nine and a half out of ten will answer...Order and prohibit.

What is a prohibition?

This....is strictly prohibited!

After the onlookers dispersed, a space was naturally vacated.

Fang Xiu took a few steps forward, squatted down, and observed the giant pit on the ground closely.

It can be smelled that there is still a strong smell of gunpowder in the air.

That's right...this is what the emperor ordered himself to develop.

After Fang Xiu confirmed it, he felt a little bit confused.

He just pointed out a direction for these soldiers participating in the experiment, without too much interference.

Because Qiu Wei is coming soon, he still needs to spare some time to read again.

It was not originally planned that these people would be able to develop it.

But I didn't expect that it only took more than half a month...

Fang Xiu sighed, then stood up from the ground, looked at Liang Hu behind him, and asked, "Who adjusted this formula?"

Liang Huduan stood upright, and said solemnly, "It's Kong Liu."

Kong Liu... Fang Xiu seems to have heard of this name.

When recruiting experimenters, this person was the first to stand up. I heard that when I was young, I made fireworks myself.

Originally, he planned to use this to support his family, but because he was reprimanded by his parents for not doing a proper job, in a rage, he joined the Sixteenth Guards of the pro-army.

Sure enough...this kind of thing still needs a certain foundation and a certain talent.

Fang Xiu nodded, and asked again: "Where is Kong Liu?"

As soon as the words were finished, a very strong-looking man came out from the crowd, saluted Fang Xiu respectfully, and said loudly, "Report to General, humble Kong Liu."

Fang Xiu glanced at him, and really felt that people should not be judged by appearances.

In the thinking of later generations, scientists and inventors must be the kind of white-haired old men with thick framed eyes.

Otherwise, it is the kind of lean man.

I didn't expect that it turned out to be such a strong and strong man.

Chapter 3 Rewards

Fang Xiu took two steps forward, patted Kong Liu on the shoulder, and with a warm smile on his face, he said encouragingly: "Yes, as the first person to develop this device, I should reward you... ..."

Having said that, he paused, glanced at the soldiers, and then said, "5000 taels!"

Hearing this, a burst of heated discussions broke out in the audience.

Even Kong Liu himself felt a little afraid to question it.

He looked at his general with a confused look on his face, and subconsciously asked, "5000 taels... what?"

At this time, Fang Xiu had already pulled out a 5000 tael silver note from his pocket, handed it to Kong Liu, and said with a smile, "Of course it's silver."

Kong Liu looked at the bank note, a little afraid to reach out to pick it up.

He couldn't imagine the concept of 5000 taels of silver.

This is just a silver ticket in front of him. If it is exchanged for real gold and silver, he will probably be able to smash himself to death...

"For...for me?"

Kong Liu's voice trembled a little.

If it was in the past, Fang Xiu would have already kicked him up.

What is given to you is yours, why ask so many?

But... Seeing the deep pit behind him, Fang Xiu was really happy, and his temper eased, and he said tirelessly, "Of course it's for you."

Kong Liu still didn't dare to answer it, he stretched out his hand, then took it back, his whole body seemed to be crazy, trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu felt a little helpless, and simply stuffed the bank note of Baolefang into his arms.

Then, he turned around and looked at the other soldiers, and said loudly: "This is only the first version, you still have a chance in the future.

If anyone can improve this device to a controllable level, the general will reward him with 5000 taels! "

As soon as this remark came out, there was another heated discussion.

All the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, their eyes were almost red, and they wished they could do the experiment now.

For ordinary people like them, it may not be possible to see a 1000 tael bank note in their lifetime.

Ten taels of silver is already the limit they can think of, a full 5000 taels... What is that concept?

Even if he left You Yulin Wei now, he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

It is not impossible to be rich in life.

This reward...really is...

Everyone didn't know what to say anymore.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu smiled, waved his hands, and said loudly: "Okay, there's nothing to do, let's all go!"

As soon as the words fell, all the soldiers scattered, needless to say, they knew that they must all be doing experiments.

5000 taels, this is an opportunity for them to change their lives, it depends on who can grasp it.

But for Fang Xiu, this is just a means of motivating people.

A few months ago, he might not have been able to get 5000 taels of silver.

now......

Not counting the newly opened Kite Workshop and Firework Workshop, Zhuxuanzhai, Chunfeng Building and Beijing Normal University Theater alone will earn more than this amount of money in a month.

If only paying this little money can make the powerful improved gunpowder come out, why not do it?

"General."

At this time, Liang Hu came to his side, first saluted respectfully, and then said seriously: "I think that if a heavy weapon is made, the general should write a letter to announce the good news to His Majesty."
