I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 583 New Type Gunpowder
"boom!!!"

"Boom!!"

A loud noise reverberated in the forest, and the boulder, which was as tall as a person, trembled violently, and immediately disintegrated into countless broken stones.

Dozens of big trees around also trembled, and the yellow leaves that refused to fall all winter finally fell down one after another, mixed with the sand and gravel in the sky, and rolled in all directions.

"cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The crowd of onlookers covered their mouths and noses with their hands, but their eyes were full of excitement as they watched the scene.

That's right.

This is the "explosion site" of the new type of gunpowder that Tiangong Bureau has just developed.

And the new year kicked off with the earth-shattering "firecrackers".

"Young master! What do you think?"

Beside him, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who is in charge of all affairs of the Tiangong Bureau, said excitedly: "The power of this new explosive is three or four times stronger than the previous one!"

"As long as the equivalent is enough, even a third-rank warrior can be killed!"

"Even if it's only a cup, the lethality after detonation is enough to kill ordinary soldiers!"

"Such power can already show its power on the battlefield! At that time, it will definitely catch the thief by surprise."

The old man with shriveled skin was spitting all over the place, and his words were extremely excited.

He praised this "new gunpowder" so extravagantly, not to claim credit, but he really felt that this thing could play some role in the upcoming war.

As for whether it has met Wei Changtian's expectations
"Yes, Not Bad."

He calmly spit out three words, which showed that Wei Changtian was not particularly satisfied with the power of this new gunpowder.

He looked at the scene after the explosion from a distance, recalling the equivalent of the large barrel of gunpowder.

It just feels normal!

Although it is indeed as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry said, as long as the yield is sufficient, this thing should be able to kill third-rank warriors.

But how much is enough?

According to this, the previous gunpowder can also do it, but the required equivalent is greater.

What's the point of having too many ants killing an elephant? What I want is an ant for an elephant.

Forget it.

It's good to have progress.

Besides, even with the current power, it is almost enough to be used in a large number of wars.

"Master Min."

Turning his head to look at the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Wei Changtian slowly asked: "How stable is this new gunpowder? Is it not easy to transport?"

"Young Master, don't worry, the Tiangong Bureau has already done a test on this matter."

Min Shangshu quickly replied: "As long as there is no open flame, no matter how you squeeze or beat it, there will be no problem."

"And the Tiangong Bureau can also specially build a carriage for transporting gunpowder, which can definitely minimize the risk!"

"Row."

Nodding his head, Wei Changtian pondered for a moment and then ordered: "In this case, then immediately send more people to start mass production of this new gunpowder."

"There is no upper limit for the time being, and as much as can be produced under the condition of ensuring safety."

"In addition, research and development cannot stop. People will continue to try to formulate new and more powerful gunpowder formulas. At the same time, steam engines must continue to be built."

"These are the keys to whether we can repel the thieves in the future!"

"Yes! I understand!"

There was a strong smell of nitrate in the wind, and Min Shangshu bowed immediately after hearing the words.

He quietly glanced at the thoughtful Wei Changtian, then asked in a low voice:

"Mr. Wei, this new gunpowder hasn't been named yet, so it's not as good as you"

"casual."

Wei Changtian didn't bother to think about these things, so he casually said: "If it doesn't work, just call it black powder."

"Yes!"

"Well, you guys clean up here, and your Majesty and I will leave first."

"Congratulations to send your son!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"."

Amidst the cries one after another, Wei Changtian and Ning Yuke quickly left the "explosion test site" together and went to the workshop set up by the Tiangong Bureau in the deep mountains.

And Qing Xian has been following the two of them.

"Young Master Wei, the power of this black powder is terrifying."

There is some surprise in the beautiful eyes, it seems that Qingxian is not saying any more polite words.

In this demon king, or most of his ideas, only warriors should be able to kill warriors.

But the emergence of "black powder" means the birth of another extremely lethal force besides "internal force".

And this power can be used by anyone.

This is scary.

Because this means that the gap between "cultivators" and "ordinary people" is being greatly narrowed.

The former is no longer a superior existence, and the latter also has the means to break through the "innate barrier".

If the Tiangong Bureau really develops guns, cannons and other firearms in the future, even if it cannot completely subvert the current power system, it will definitely change the world significantly.

Even if there is another "Mohist" or "Gunpowder" school of practice, it is uncertain.

Of course, this is all a long time later.

For the big battle that is already close at hand, it is not bad to be able to cause a certain amount of damage through black powder in the simplest way.

"."

"It's okay, the power is actually worse than I expected."

Riding a big maroon horse on the mountain road, Wei Changtian turned his head to look at Qingxian who was also riding a horse.

There was also a sedan chair following behind the two, and Ning Yuke was sitting inside.

Without continuing to discuss the issue of black powder, Wei Changtian reined in his horse and leaned in the direction of Qingxian, and asked in a low voice:

"Senior Qingxian, it's a matter of heavenly spirits"

"Oh, this king has already taught Ning Nvwa all the exercises."

Qing Xian knew what he was going to ask, and didn't hide it: "Nv Ning is practicing every day, and according to this progress, it is estimated that she will be able to practice in half a year."

"Really? That is to say."

Wei Changtian looked back at the imperial sedan chair, his expression unchanged: "After half a year, as long as she is willing, she can be transformed into a Tianling at any time?"

"Yes."

"."

After half a year, as long as Ning Yuke thinks about it, she will be able to become an immortal "fairy".

Not only can he succeed Qing Xian as the demon king, but he will also have the strength of the second rank.

But the price is that you will forget other memories except "Tianling"
Although Ning Yuke had previously stated that she would not become a Tianling in such a hurry, but would follow Wei Changtian's wishes.

But when the time comes, the right to decide is still in her own hands.

She really wants to change and no one can stop her.

"Okay, I see."

Nodding his head silently, Wei Changtian asked again in a low voice: "No problem so far, right?"

"No."

Qingxian shook her head: "According to Ning Nvwa herself, except for the occasional itching, everything else is as usual."

"Itching?"

Wei Changtian was a little puzzled: "Is this normal?"

"I don't know. After all, those people and monsters I found before only feel pain, even if it really feels itchy, they can't feel it."

Qingxian didn't seem to be worried: "Young master, don't worry, as long as Ning Nvwa can bear the itch, then there should be nothing wrong."

"Fine."

As the breeze blew through the forest, Wei Changtian didn't ask any more questions.

痒.
Is it because Ning Yuke has no pain, so it becomes itching?
But she never mentioned it to herself.

That being said, it's quite bearable.
