He Chao was stunned when he heard that.
Then, he carefully recalled the scene on the night of their wedding and replied with a smile,
"Father-in-law, are you talking about fireworks?”
"That thing is made of gunpowder. There's nothing magical about it.”
Ying Zheng had never heard of this thing before.
He was completely confused and asked in confusion,
"What is gunpowder?"
Meng Tian was beside him.
He looked at He Chao curiously, waiting for his answer.
"Gunpowder is a very powerful weapon. It can be used to make explosives.”
He Chao chuckled and explained proudly,
"And the power of this explosive is very terrifying. It's not a problem for ordinary people to split mountains and rocks.”
"If it's made into an explosive bag and used on the battlefield, it can instantly kill hundreds and thousands of enemy soldiers!”
As soon as he finished speaking, both Ying Zheng and Meng Tian were stunned!
Splitting mountains and rocks was nothing difficult?
It was easy to kill hundreds or thousands of people?
Was gunpowder that terrifying?
It sounded too scary!
In an instant,
Ying Zheng and Meng Tian felt their brains buzzing.
He couldn't turn around!
The gunpowder and its power described by He Chao,
It directly subverted their imaginations!
He did not expect the power of this gunpowder to be so awesome!
If it's true,
Put this awesome gunpowder on the battlefield.
Then…
At the thought of this, Ying Zheng and Meng Tian felt their blood boiling.
His breathing became rapid.
After interacting with He Chao for so many days,
Ying Zheng knew that although He Chao spoke a little arrogantly, he never lied.
Therefore, what he said about the power of gunpowder was definitely true.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng swallowed hard and said,
With a shocked expression, he asked,
"I didn't expect this gunpowder to be so powerful.
Son-in-law, can you bring us to see it?”
He Chao nodded and agreed immediately.
"Since father-in-law wants to see it, then I'll bring you to the back mountain to take a look.”
After saying that, He Chao took the lead and left the courtyard, heading towards the back mountain of the village.
Ying Zheng and Meng Tian did not even think about it, and immediately followed him with excitement on their faces.
The mountain behind the village was rich in iron ore.
He Chao had built an advanced steel mill not far from the back of the mountain to smelt steel.
He Chao had built the entire steel mill based on the model of the advanced steel mill in his previous life.
Blast furnaces and assembly lines were used to make iron in batches.
The daily production of steel was at least ten thousand tons.
He Chao brought Ying Zheng and Meng Tian out of the courtyard and not far away,
He saw the outline of a magnificent steel factory.
Ying Zheng looked at the iron-smelting blast furnace that towered into the clouds not far away.
His entire body trembled and he could not help but ask,
"Son-in-law, what's that tall building not far ahead for?
This is too shocking!"
Meng Tian also narrowed her eyes.
When he saw the blast furnace that pierced through the sky like a sword,
A shocked expression appeared on his face.
He Chao waved his hand and said nonchalantly,
"That's the steelworks I built.
We'll go see the gunpowder first. I'll bring you guys to see it next time.”
The steel factory built by He Chao?
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's heart skipped a beat.
He Chao actually knew how to make steel?
After all, in Great Qin,
Salt and iron were monopolized by the government, and private iron-making was illegal.
However, He Chao was now his son-in-law, so Ying Zheng did not say anything more.
Because even if He Chao mastered advanced iron-making technology,
In the end, it still became his.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng nodded without batting an eyelid.
She followed He Chao's 'but' and continued to head to the back of the mountain.
Soon, He Chao led them to the back of the mountain.
Ying Zheng and Meng Tian glanced at the back of the mountain and were immediately stunned!
"The steel factory doesn't have much iron ore left, hurry!”
"Tell our brothers in the mine to be careful!”
"The Fort Master is here. All of you, cheer up!”
……
He saw that there were already several mines dug in the back mountain.
There were more than a hundred young and strong men at the scene, and they were well-trained in mining iron ore.
The supervisor at the scene was a burly, dark-faced man. His name was Liu Laosan.
Liu Laosan saw He Chao and his group of people coming over.
A flattering smile appeared on his face. He immediately walked over and said flatteringly,
"Chief, you didn't tell me you were coming so that I could pick you up.”
He Chao waved his hand and scolded with a smile,
"Alright, Liu Laosan, there's no need to flatter me.”
"My father-in-law wants to see the power of the explosives we developed.
Go and bring one out to demonstrate.”
"Alright, just wait and see, Fort Master. I guarantee that I won't let you down!”
Liu Laosan patted his chest confidently and left.
Not long after, Liu Laosan came back with a hemp cloth bag in his hand and an excited look on his face.
Ying Zheng and Meng immediately fixed their eyes on the cloth bag in Liu Laosan's hand.
Was this the explosive that He Chao was talking about?
This appearance was too ordinary!
"I've got the explosives. How do you want us to try it?”
He Chao glanced at the nearby mountains.
Then, he pointed at a small hill a hundred meters away and said,
"Let's blow up that small hill."
