Yin Mountain was located in the western suburbs of the capital. It was deserted and desolate.
Li Jin Nian had chosen this place to test his cannon after careful consideration.
First of all, he definitely couldn't try it in the city.
Eastern Jiujiang was also not suitable.
Because that was the imperial mausoleum.
If he blew up the imperial mausoleum, the empress would probably chop off his head.
Wang Pingchang couldn't stop him.
It wasn't that Li Jin Nian was afraid of death, but it was simply unnecessary.
Although the empress was muddle-headed, her crimes were not as serious as the ancestors.
Moreover, the few emperors before Da Feng were all rare wise rulers and had done many practical things for Da Feng.
Overall, the western suburbs were still the best.
This was a barren mountain. There was not even a single blade of grass to be seen, let alone a forest. Therefore, there was no need to worry about a fire if they were to test the cannon.
Li Jin Nian was still very cautious in these aspects.
Other than not wanting to damage the environment, he was also worried that if a fire broke out, it would bring disaster to China.
After finding an empty space, Li Jin Nian asked Master Wei and the others to help move the metal lump, which was the cannon barrel, down.
The carpenters from the Ministry of Works also made the cannon frame according to Li Jin Nian's blueprint.
Wei Chunlai and the others followed Li Jin Nian's instructions and placed the cannon on the carriage.
"Lord Li, what exactly is this thing?”
Su Fei reached out to touch the pitch-black barrel. He had never seen anything like it.
"You'll know later."
Li Jin Nian smiled at him.
He took out an iron ball from his sack. This was a cannonball he had made in the Ministry of Works.
He stuffed the shell into the barrel and attached the fuse.
"All of you, step back."
After finishing the preparations, Li Jin Nian turned around and said to Su Fei and Wei Chunlai.
Although they did not know what Li Jin Nian was going to do, Su Fei and the rest obediently retreated more than ten meters.
"Retreat again."
To be safe, Li Jin Nian asked them to retreat another twenty to thirty meters.
The cannonball this time was incomparable to the bomb he made in the Imperial Palace that day.
The bomb that day was at most as powerful as a grenade.
As for this cannonball, it was at least ten times more powerful than the previous one.
Li Jin Nian added a lot of gunpowder into it.
Of course, Li Jin Nian wasn't sure how powerful it was.
He would only know if he tried.
After Li Jin Nian lit the long and thin fuse, he immediately jumped back.
At the same time, the cannon began to tremble.
Then,
A violent explosion sounded in the air as a cannonball was fired from the barrel. A moment later, it landed on a small mountain two kilometers away.
"Boom!"
The earth shook and the mountain shook, stirring up dust that filled the sky. The mountain peak was instantly razed to the ground.
This power was indeed beyond Li Jin Nian's imagination.
However, just as he thought that was it, a second explosion suddenly occurred where the cannonball landed.
This made Li Jin Nian dumbfounded.
"What's going on?"
Logically speaking, the bomb would only explode once. This second explosion really puzzled him.
After the second explosion, the place where the explosion happened suddenly burst into flames.
For a moment, the flames soared into the sky, illuminating the sky.
Su Fei, Wei Chunlai, and the others were so frightened by the explosion that they fell to the ground. When they came back to their senses, they saw the sea of fire in the distance. The scene was spectacular.
"This…"
Su Fei looked at the scene in front of her and felt as if she had been petrified.
An indescribable feeling of shock spread from the depths of his heart.
"Back to the Ministry of Revenue, I'll take you to see something.”
"What is it?"
"Something that can destroy this era!”
Recalling the conversation with Li Jin Nian just now, Su Fei felt as if she had just woken up from a dream.
"So, this is what Lord Li said, the thing that can destroy this era.”
Thinking of this, Su Fei couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Her gaze slowly moved from the flames that filled the sky to Li Jin Nian's back.
Su Fei's eyes suddenly turned red.
And then,
She shed tears of excitement.
