Chapter 157: The Sky-shaking Bomb is Successfully Developed
Mr. Zhang, who was standing there, was excited and thrilled when he thought of the scene he saw yesterday.
Yesterday morning, after learning the news that the Thunder Bomb had been successfully developed, he immediately ordered someone to prepare a carriage and rush over there.
After arriving there, he didn't even take a rest but hurriedly asked the people there to take out a thunder bomb to test it so that he could see the results.
When he saw the thunder bomb being thrown far away and exploding shortly after landing, Lord Zhang was so shocked by the enormous power that he was speechless.
The scene was so shocking that he couldn't believe that there really was such a powerful weapon in the world.
It was one thing to know it had such power, and it was another to see it.
After Lord Zhang calmed down, he immediately ordered people to protect the thunder bomb closely.
If it hadn't been too late and difficult to travel, he would have wanted to come back immediately to report.
He slept there casually that night, and before dawn the next day, he took a carriage to the palace.
Coming back to his senses from his memories, Lord Zhang looked at Yun Zhi with excitement. He was a little out of breath because he had just walked too fast, and his back was covered with a layer of sweat. "Your Majesty, great joy, great joy."
Liu Anruo, who had retreated to the side when Lord Zhang came in just now, frowned with some dissatisfaction when he heard his words.
What's wrong with Mr. Zhang? Didn't he even check who was inside when he came in? He started yelling as soon as he came in.
If the person standing here was not her, but a spy who had been instigated or planted by another country, wouldn't others be able to hear it?
It seems that I need to have a good talk with him in private. No matter what happens, when I come to report to His Majesty, I must calm down and observe who is around.
Just as Lord Zhang was about to blurt out something, Liu Anruo cast a look at Yun Zhi, indicating that he would take his leave first.
Seeing Yun Zhi shook her head, she stood there motionless again.
Lord Zhang, who was still in the excitement, didn't notice the little movements between the two people at all, but he felt a chill on his back for a moment.
But this is normal. It just got hot, so if you stop now it will cool down.
Soon, Lord Zhang found a reason for Yiliang.
After his breathing became less rapid, Lord Zhang finished what he had just unfinished.
"Your Majesty, the Sky-shaking Bomb has been successfully developed."
The Sky-shaking Bomb has been developed?
Yun Zhi's hand on the desk moved slightly towards her palm, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
When she saw his happy face just now, Yun Zhi had some vague guesses, and now she is sure of it.
She looked at the still excited Mr. Zhang below and asked, "Has it been developed?"
Lord Zhang nodded, his face unable to conceal his excitement, "Yes, it has been developed. I personally went to see it yesterday."
It has been four years since we got the inspiration from Tang Qiuwan and started researching it.
Hard work pays off, and they finally developed it.
"How powerful is it?"
Mr. Zhang took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and recounted the scenes he had seen yesterday one by one.
"Your Majesty, the scene of the thunder bomb exploding was truly shocking. I have never seen such a small thing with such great destructive power."
He seemed to be back at the testing ground yesterday, witnessing with his own eyes the tremendous power of the thunder bomb explosion.
"It's a ball about this size."
As he spoke, Lord Zhang stretched out his hands to compare its size.
"Soon after it's thrown out, it will create a huge pit with a diameter of more than ten feet. The surrounding vegetation will be scorched, leaving only a scorched earth."
"If used on the battlefield, just that one thunder bomb, if used in a densely packed situation, I'm afraid dozens of people would be killed or injured."
Mr. Zhang spoke vividly, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Furthermore, we've conducted numerous tests, and each time the results have been astonishing. Your Majesty, with this weapon, unifying the world is just around the corner!"
After describing the power of the thunder bomb, Lord Zhang paused, looked up at Yun Zhi, and began to commend these craftsmen.
"Your Majesty, the successful development of the Sky-Shaking Bomb is a testament to the tireless work of these craftsmen. Among them, Lord Li Wenyan, whom Your Majesty personally brought back to the palace, played a crucial role. Since his arrival, the entire research process has significantly accelerated."
Yun Zhi nodded slightly, with a hint of admiration in her eyes. Li Wenyan's talent in developing weapons was indeed beyond the reach of many people.
Otherwise, why would Marquis Anding allow him to develop it at home?
It is inevitable that people would like to give talented people some special treatment.
"Lord Li has indeed made an invaluable contribution. Once this matter is settled, I will reward him handsomely. Everyone who participated in the research will receive a reward."
Upon hearing this, Lord Zhang hurriedly bowed to Yun Zhi in gratitude and said, "I thank Your Majesty on their behalf."
"Master Zhang, the news of the Sky-Shaking Bomb's development must be strictly suppressed. No word can leak out at all."
Lord Zhang quickly responded, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I ordered the news to be kept secret before I left, and all personnel involved in the research and development have been properly accommodated to ensure that no news leaks out."
Yun Zhi nodded in satisfaction. "Now that it's been successfully developed, let's have them produce more according to this method to prepare for future needs."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Lord Zhang left, Liu Anruo walked out from that side, and there was some excitement on her face.
She didn't know that Yun Zhi had asked someone to develop the thunder bomb before.
Now that he suddenly knew that such a powerful weapon had appeared, Liu Anruo's heartbeat involuntarily accelerated, and even his hands hanging below his body involuntarily clenched.
No wonder Lord Zhang was so excited just now, losing his usual composure.
Although I now understand why Lord Zhang was so rash just now, I still have to say what I need to say.
Liu Anruo walked to the center of the imperial study and bowed respectfully, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Now that we have this thunderbolt, conquering the four countries will be a piece of cake. However..."
At this point, Liu Anruo's expression grew more serious. "I'm afraid that once the Sky-Shattering Thunder weapon is revealed, the recipe might be stolen, and even the craftsmen might be abducted. That would be disastrous."
"This is inevitable, isn't it? It's easy to hide now, but once it's revealed to the world, it will attract the attention of the four nations, and they will naturally try every possible means to obtain it."
Yun Zhi looked at her with a firm and resolute gaze.
"All we can do now is strengthen the protection of those craftsmen and their families, as well as the defense of the place where the thunder bombs are manufactured. The rest is to quickly destroy these four countries after we produce this weapon. As long as we act quickly enough, they will be captured."
Liu Anruo nodded, "Your Majesty is wise."
Since His Majesty has made up his mind, Liu Anruo doesn't need to say more.
"Then I will take my leave first."
After Liu Anruo left, Yun Zhi ordered the dispatch of 5,000 elite soldiers to secretly go to the site where the Thunder Bomb was developed. In addition to protecting the craftsmen, their purpose was to learn how to use this weapon.
In order to ensure the secrecy of the operation, these 5,000 elite soldiers were divided into several teams and set out at different times and routes.
Moreover, in order to prevent leaks, the mission of this trip was not told to them, and they would only know it after they arrived there.
Next, it’s just a matter of waiting for the right opportunity.
