Chapter 416: The God Is Angry At A Woman Being Empress
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Bai Wutong showed them the blueprint for the external structure of the pistol, but she did not show them the most important internal structure.
This was the top military secret of their Carefree Kingdom. All the parts of the weapons had to be forged separately to prevent the blueprint from being leaked.
Bai Wutong said, “The structure of this blueprint is complicated, but the power of the fire machine will also increase by more than a hundred times.”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was silence.
Everyone was imagining what it would be like when the fire machine was too times stronger.
Could it be that the huge flames that spewed out could burn the entire city to ashes?
If that was the case, why would they still have to guard against the Ling Kingdom? It was better to directly take down the Ling Kingdom.
Although they were complaining, everyone still agreed with Bai Wutong’s plan to use weapons to increase their military strength.
Bai Wutong could tell that no one believed that the power of the fire machine could increase by more than a hundred times. She smiled and said, “The fire machine has been produced in the state for hundreds of years, but it’s still the same.”
“However, on the other side of the ocean, some foreigners had used fire machines to create astonishing weapons. This is the fire machine they modified and it is called a pistol.”
When the state did not restrict merchants from traveling or suppress them, Western trade was very prosperous.
There were western mirror, magnifying glass, Kunlun road… These were all traces left behind at that time.
Bai Wutong said that the Westerners had used fire machine to create a shockingly powerful weapon. Everyone present was subconsciously shocked. “No way?”
In everyone’s hearts, their state was the smartest and most powerful ancient civilization state.
In any case, they would not be able to travel to the west for a while. Regardless of whether they really had it or not, Bai Wutong nodded affirmatively. “That’s right. I was also very stunned when I saw the records in the book. Our Carefree Kingdom is just opposite them. I’m afraid they will use such a lethal weapon to cross the sea and attack. Therefore, we have to increase our firepower with all our might to prevent that day from coming.”
“The future of Carefree Kingdom requires everyone’s joint efforts. Please, everyone!”
Bai Wutong did not expect them to come up with any lethal weapons in a short time. It would be good enough if they could make a few fog bombs.
She had gathered them together purely to find a reason to explain the source of the blueprint.
If someone pursued the matter, it would be easy to say that one of them was talented and developed it not long after. For the sake of confidentiality and to ensure the person’s safety, they could not reveal his identity at all.
Bai Wutong’s words instantly motivated everyone. They wanted to develop a pistol similar to a foreigner’s in the shortest time possible.
Apart from the pistol, Bai Wutong also mentioned grenades, landmines, rocket launchers, and other inspirations to them. They were greatly shocked and opened up to more ideas as they discussed intensely.
After they discussed for a week, Bai Wutong began to arrange for the craftsmen to distribute the location, the blueprints, and the techniques to make weapons.
The job definitely earned a high salary and required absolute confidentiality. As long as anything was revealed, he would be punished on the basis of treason.
Therefore, even their families did not know what work the workers involved in weapons production were doing.
Assault rifles and grenades were commonly used on the battlefield. The most antique models were not that complicated to make.
After the production of the boilers, steam engines, and cutting machine tools was successful, the production capacity could reach 100 assault rifles per day, 50 grenades, and more than 1,000 bullets.
The production of these weapons alone was enough to threaten Emperor Ling Hui’s throne. They could also produce landmines and rocket launchers.
No one could shake her determination to protect her home.
Assault rifles and grenade parts still needed to be assembled separately.
Bai Wutong arrived at the military workshop and looked at these parts. She felt a sense of familiarity from within. She picked up the parts and quickly assembled the assault rifle in less than a minute.
Qingfeng revealed a strong curiosity about the new weapon. Bai Wutong asked her to familiarize herself with it according to the blueprint, but Qingfeng used about the same time as her to complete the assembly of the assault rifle.
Although it was an obsolete model from the apocalypse, it was still brand new and powerful.
Bai Wutong raised her assault rifle and nimbly loaded it with bullets. She fired three bullets in a row. As expected, all of them hit the bullseye.
She was not as good at martial arts as Qingfeng, but she should be the most skilled for modern weapons.
Unexpectedly, when Qingfeng saw Bai Wutong use an assault rifle and instantly pierce through the target, and her speed and recoil were so shocking, Qingfeng’s eyes immediately lit up. She quickly loaded the bullets. “Pa pa pa pa~” She fired a series of shots.
Bai Wutong looked over and was dumbfounded.
Some people were really talented.
She had practiced for so many years before she was 100% confident that she could hit the target, but Qingfeng did it effortlessly.
The entire bullseye of the target had been shot through by Qingfeng.
Bai Wutong praised, “How impressive!”
Qingfeng touched the pistol as if a new world had opened up. For the first time, she said to Bai Wutong, “Can 1 have one?”
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “Sure. If nothing goes wrong, our great scientific researchers have prepared an even bigger surprise for you.”
Qingfeng smiled slightly. Lin Yue would probably be sad when he saw this. He was actually not as attractive as an assault rifle.
After one pulled the ring on the grenade, it needed to be thrown in five seconds. It was so powerful that it could blow up the concrete floor.
Bai Wutong and Qingfeng arrived at the empty training ground. After the training, the energetic soldiers had already lined up and were waiting to experience throwing grenades.
Bai Wutong did not waste her breath. She emphasized on safety and let them carry out the explosion test.
She was pregnant. Even with the noise-canceling earplugs, the loud noise would still shock the child in her womb.
Therefore, she was standing relatively far away. Even if the grenade exploded, it would not affect her.
The first soldier to obtain the grenade was Lu Ye.
He had already memorized the key points of the grenade’s safety operation and experimented with the core several times.
After all, if he didn’t do it properly, he might explode into meat paste, so he was especially careful.
At the same time, this thrill of hovering between life and death made him feel extremely excited.
Lu Ye took a deep breath. Under everyone’s nervous gazes, he lifted the lid of the grenade, pulled off the ring, and threw it towards the target scarecrow in the distance. “Boom—”
With an earth-shattering bang, the ground seemed to tremble.
In Carefree City, the moment they heard the terrifying commotion, the commoners covered their heads and squatted on the ground, or they panicked and ran around.
Especially the women whose husbands worked in the mine, they stood up and shouted in fear, “Did an earthquake happen? I’m going to look for my husband!”
The man who was extremely dissatisfied with Bai Wutong ran to the street and shouted, “The heavens are angry that a woman is the empress!”
There were many people who echoed him. All of them knelt on the ground and begged for God’s forgiveness. If they wanted to punish someone, they should punish Bai Wutong. It had nothing to do with them.
Some people were still those who usually tried to butter up to Bai Wutong. When they saw this scene, the people who were really convinced by Bai Wutong were immediately angry. “The heavens are angry because they can’t stand you ingrates.. It wants to kill you!”
