"Oh my god! The power of the Heavenly God! This is simply the descent of the Thunder God!"
"That's right! The power of heavenly lightning, this must be the power of the thunder god in the sky…"
"Our Qin country can actually control such terrifying power…"
The ministers were all shocked.
This was the first time gunpowder had appeared. This destructive power that belonged to the firearms era instantly shocked many of the ministers of the State of Qin.
Even though Ying Zheng had already learned about the power of gunpowder from the Heavenly Creations, he could not suppress the excitement in his chest at this moment!
"Good!"
Looking at the huge pit created by the explosion, Ying Zheng couldn't help but praise.
"A divine artifact!"
"Ancestor bless, Ancestor bless my Qin country!”
Among the officials, Wei Liaozi looked at the huge pit and was extremely excited.
Wei Liaozi was familiar with military affairs. With just a glance, he instantly knew the future use of this gunpowder. With this divine item, the Qin army could easily destroy cities and villages!
From then on, no matter how strong the enemy's city was, as long as there were enough gunpowder bags, they could forcefully blast a path out!
"Pass down my order. The craftsmen who participated in the development of gunpowder will be rewarded with 3,000 yuan and a mansion in Xianyang City!”
" Everyone, you must work hard and develop the Fire Cannon and other weapons for me as soon as possible…"
After seeing the power of the gunpowder, Ying Zheng immediately gave the order to reward the craftsmen of the Heavenly Craftsmen Department!
"We thank Your Majesty!"
All the craftsmen of the Heavenly Craftsmen Department knelt down and thanked him gratefully.
After Ying Zheng established the Heavenly Craftsmen Department, he had made all the craftsmen in the department his courtiers, raising their status. Now, many of the craftsmen in the Heavenly Craftsmen Department had titles of nobility!
However, when they heard Ying Zheng say that he would develop weapons such as the Fire Element and the Cannon as soon as possible, the craftsmen revealed a troubled look.
"Your Majesty, we can still develop gunpowder according to the formula!”
"However, the fire element and the cannon are beyond our capabilities!”
The leading craftsman reported to Ying Zheng with a bitter expression.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, a cold look flashed across Ying Zheng's face.
He had given these craftsmen of the Heavenly Craftsmen Department enough honor and favor. Could it be that these people were still trying to negotiate with him?
When it came to state affairs, were there conditions to negotiate?
As if sensing the cold pressure coming from Ying Zheng's body, the craftsmen were so frightened that they knelt on the ground. The leading craftsman hurriedly explained.
"Your Majesty, you might not know this, but to make fire weapons and cannons, you need to make steel pipes that have been refined hundreds of times to make gun barrels and cannon barrels! Otherwise, an ordinary gun barrel would not even be able to fire a single shell before it exploded on the spot!”
"However, the skills of the Heavenly Craftsmen Institute can't reach the level of 100 Refinement. In fact, this kind of skill only exists in the legends of the martial arts world! Even the best steel pipe that we have forged with all our might is unable to withstand the ferocious power of gunpowder!”
Hundred Refinement Technique?
Hearing this, Ying Zheng could not help but frown.
Beside Ying Zheng, Li Si stepped forward among the ministers.
"Your Majesty, I once studied at the Confucian Little Sage Manor. Back then, my teacher, Xun Zi, once said," The Hundred Refinement Technique was one of the most powerful swordsmithing techniques. In this world, there were only a few world-renowned swordsmiths who truly mastered this technique!”
"Only the Gongshu family and the Mo family, two sects that are good at mechanism techniques, have mastered this technique!”
"If Your Majesty wants the Heavenly Craftsmen Institute to be able to manufacture firearms for our Qin country, I'm afraid it will require the help of either the Mo family or the Gongshu family!”
Li Si said and bowed respectfully.
"Gongshu family? The Mo Family?"
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice.
"Then, according to you, how should I recruit them to serve Great Qin?”
When Li Si heard that, he immediately replied respectfully,""Your Majesty, when I was studying in the Little Saint Manor, I was familiar with a disciple of the Gongshu family. I can use the excuse of visiting my good friend to go to the Gongshu family and recruit this sect for my Qin country!”
" As for the Mo Family, their roots are basically in the six countries of Shandong. Moreover, because of the strict laws of the Qin Country, these Mo Xia have always been in the Qin Country. I'm afraid it's not easy to recruit them…"
Ying Zheng could not help but nod and give the order.
"In that case, bring me along and tell the head of the Gongshu family that if you are willing to join my Qin country, I will naturally treat you as a national scholar!”
"I will obey your orders!"
