It took a while for Bai Zhou to wake up from his thoughts. This was mainly because the object that Wei Fu brought him was so shocking. Originally, even if it was just a little oil, it would be difficult for Bai Zhou to bring in his heart. Unexpectedly, Wei Fu was so powerful that he brought the gunpowder directly.

It can be foreseen that in the future, no matter which country, if it fights with the Western Qin people, it must first bear the roar of gunpowder!

Of course, just gunpowder cannot fundamentally change the current combat methods of the Western Qin people. That is to say, now, the Western Qin still needs to use cold weapons to fight the enemy. However, in some special occasions, gunpowder alone is enough for all the enemies of the Western Qin tribe to drink a pot, but this premise is that the Western Qin people have enough gunpowder.

Bai Zhou seemed to understand why Weifu knew that a single Huihuan could not play any major role, but he insisted on bringing it to Basel. He thought that he wanted to use its range and the explosive power of gunpowder to produce a one-plus-one-to-two effect. After all, even if the accurate head of the Huihuan was not good, as long as the explosion radius of the gunpowder was sufficient, the killing effect it could be produced, especially against enemy generals, would be quite considerable.

"How much gunpowder has brought?" Bai Zhou temporarily suppressed a trace of excitement in his heart, because he was a little worried that Wei Fu would say "It's just so much". In that case, Bai Zhou held the cloth bag handed over by Wei Fu, and could only cry without tears.

"Not many, but not many, about a thousand pounds." Wei Fu gave Bai Zhou a number that sounds acceptable. But everyone understands that one thousand pounds, that is, the sum of the weights of seven or eight men, is a number that is too small for a war.

To put it in a more intuitive statement, the maximum weight of the ammunition carried by the Hui cannon is 150 kilograms, which is 300 kilograms. One thousand kilograms of gunpowder is not enough for the Hui cannon to fully load the four launches. It can be said that four launches will not play a decisive role in a war, unless it can defeat the command center of the paralyzed enemy every time.

But then again, this kind of thing is better than nothing. It is particularly worth mentioning that its "audio and video" effect is more shocking than those bee crossbow machines. If it is used well, it will be better to use it to attack the morale of the enemy.

"By the way, how powerful is it." Bai Zhou asked. This is also another topic of concern to Bai Zhou. After all, if it was a thousand kilograms of **, then Bai Zhou believed that it would definitely blow the Burgundians to the point of howls, but now Xi Qin is in his hands with a thousand kilograms of black gunpowder. Moreover, depending on the situation, it is still the most primitive black gunpowder. Bai Zhou was not very optimistic about its power. If he knew that he would have such a chance, he had to study how picric acid and smokeless gunpowder were made.

"This..." Wei Fu was speechless, as if he was looking for words to describe their power. But at the end, he found that it seemed that no language was easy to describe, so he simply said, "Young Master, let's take a look for it myself. I'll ask someone to demonstrate it to you."

After saying that, he took Bai Zhou to the other side of the square. The soldiers around him obviously knew what Bai Zhou was here to do, and each performed his duties and led a way out.

These people were brought by Weifu from Bern, which means that they knew the use of the gunpowder they carried this time and how to demonstrate its power. After receiving Weifu's instructions, they began to prepare step by step.

Bai Zhou looked around and found that in addition to these soldiers, only Wang Xiaobao and a few secret guards followed him and Weifu all the way. However, it was obvious that they were well prepared for the upcoming "test" of gunpowder. The expression on their faces seemed a little cautious, but also very relaxed and natural.

After all, they are not ignorant people. They who have been in the army for a long time naturally know that there are many weapons in this world that are led by gunpowder. Although no one has ever used gunpowder weapons, they have always seen them. Therefore, they are not surprised by the things prepared by the soldiers who came from Bern.

Bai Zhou saw that these soldiers didn't prepare much, but just carefully took out a bottle-like thing from a box, revealing a white strip on it.

It could be a grenade, it was Bai Zhou's first reaction when he saw this thing. After all, this image is too similar.

"This is called Zhentian Thunder, which is about half a pound of gunpowder. After igniting the fuse, it is immediately thrown out. The power generated by the explosion is enough to make no living things within one meter of the explosion point." Wei Fu introduced, "Due to the haste, we did not produce too many gunpowder devices. This Zhentian Thunder is the only one."

Thunder of the sky? One meter? Bai Zhou ignored the name that sounded very intimidating, but paid special attention to the number "one meter".

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, of course, no matter how the world was shaking. The first "performance" of the thunder was quite normal. Of course, this kind of normality refers to the performance in hot weapons. If compared with cold weapons, it is uh, it is completely uncomparable.

Although it was more than a hundred meters away, Bai Zhou still felt some scum splashing on his face, and the air waves were coming. Moreover, the explosive firelight in the moment, and the thick smoke that could not be dissipated for a long time seemed to tell everyone that its power is not bad.

Although compared to its momentum, a one-meter killing radius seems a bit pitiful, Bai Zhou knew that a one-meter effective killing radius is indeed a good data in this era. Although it cannot be compared with various types of grenades in later generations, in this era, this can be regarded as a considerable killing weapon. Having said that, let alone not mention the obviously ceramic bottles and jars, there seems to be too many left in Xiqin (after all, this kind of fragile thing is naturally difficult to preserve during the migration along the way). There are not many for the army to use. More importantly, one thing requires about half a pound of gunpowder, that is to say, if Xiqin uses all the gunpowder to make the so-called thunderclap, it can only make two thousand pieces.

It seems that using it to scare people is obviously better than using them to kill people. Bai Zhou curled his lips and thought helplessly.

A middle-aged man threw an object weighing about one pound with one hand and could not shoot it far away; and, because the workmanship of the thunder was actually very rough, the throwing hand dared not use force suddenly, for fear that it would explode before it was thrown out, so it was usually only twenty or thirty meters away. Of course, if you throw it from the top of the city, the distance would definitely be farther, but it was also limited.

For this distance, Bai Zhou knew that the current Western Qin craftsmanship was already a good result. You should know that even if the thermal weapons were in later generations, they were still common, and even if they were fired, they would hurt themselves, not to mention that in the Middle Ages, all craftsmanship levels were completely inaccessible.

Just think of it as a medium-distance weapon of destruction. Bai Zhou thought of this, the distance of twenty or thirty meters was no longer necessary for the "Sky Thunder" that had no "handle", which was inconvenient to throw, and was not strong in texture.

According to Wei Fu, they only brought more than 100 finished thunders, and seven or eight hundred empty jars. Because they didn't know how Bai Zhou planned to use this batch of gunpowder, so they did not dare to make all the empty jars into thunders. After all, if the Western Qin army needed to use ready-made gunpowder, they could not break the jars one by one.

When Bai Zhou saw the smoke around the explosion point slowly dissipating, he slowly walked there. Although Bai Zhou was not a weapon enthusiast or a military occupant, he was still quite interested in this explosion, because no matter what, this thing could be said to be the killer weapon of the Western Qin clan in the future, so naturally he had to learn more about it now.
