Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Soon, the group arrived at a separate house. Unlike the other houses, this house was built entirely of brick and stone, while the others were basically made of wood. It was obviously different from the others.

Moreover, Gao Yao's personal soldiers were standing guard at the door. There were more than a dozen of Gao Yao's personal soldiers inside and outside. Just looking at this posture, it was clear that the things stored in this place were not simple.

"Lord"

"Go back"

"Here"

Following Gao Yao's order, the guards at the door immediately stepped aside. Erniu stood aside after opening the door. Xiao He followed Gao Yao into the room.

As the door opened, the room was filled with earthenware jars.

"My Lord, is this the treasure you mentioned? The weapon?"

Even though Xiao He trusted Gao Yao very much, he couldn't even remember how these earthenware jars could be related to weapons. He couldn't just hold a jar and throw it at someone.

"Haha, it looks unremarkable, right? Come on, I'll give you a chance to see it."

Facing Xiao He's questioning, Gao Yao didn't say much. He picked up the two jars and walked out. Although Xiao He was very confused, he still followed Gao Yao outside.

Soon they arrived deep in the woods, where they had dug a large pit nearly fifty steps long and at least three meters deep.

At this time, Gao Yao handed the jar in his hand directly to Erniu, and Gao Yao took Xiao He to the side. Xiao He watched Erniu put the jar on the side of the pit, and then took out a fire starter and ignited a line from the mouth of the jar.

As the thread was ignited, Erniu kicked the jar directly into the pit. As the jar rolled into the pit, Erniu quickly retreated and covered his ears. This scene made Xiao He stunned. When he turned around to look at Gao Yao, Gao Yao also covered his ears.

"Lord..."

"boom......"

Before Xiao He could finish his words, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded, and the ground began to tremble, stirring up countless dust in the pit. Seeing this scene and hearing the clear explosion, Xiao He's face turned pale in an instant, with a look of shock and fear on his face. Even after the explosion ended, Xiao He still did not come back to his senses.

At this time, Gao Yao pulled Xiao He up from behind. Xiao He stood there in a daze, completely shocked by the scene before him. His eyes widened and his mouth slightly opened, as if he couldn't believe what had just happened. The loud noise seemed to be a roar from hell, which made his heart beat faster and his whole body was shrouded in fear.

"My lord, the gods are angry, the gods are angry, hurry, run..."

At this time, Xiao He suddenly shouted loudly. At this time, Xiao He still did not forget Gao Yao. However, when Xiao He saw that Gao Yao did not look nervous or afraid, he was also stunned. However, at this time, Xiao He could not care about anything else.

Xiao He reacted quickly and immediately pulled Gao Yao to run. This time, Gao Yao staggered, which made Gao Yao a little depressed. Who said that scholars have no strength? He almost got pulled down.

"Okay, this is the weapon I told you about. You can call it black powder for now."

Looking at Xiao He's reaction, Gao Yao also smiled slightly. This was a normal reaction. Not to mention Xiao He, a scholar, when Erniu exploded for the first time, he was frightened and knelt down, begging for mercy. There was nothing he could do about it. Theology existed because many things that could not be explained by existing understanding were ultimately attributed to gods.

"Black, gunpowder? Lord, are you saying that you made that just now?" Xiao He looked at Gao Yao in shock, his heart full of disbelief and curiosity. He widened his eyes, looking incredulous.

"Of course, this is the weapon I told you about. Otherwise, what do you think it is? Do you really think it is some kind of god descending to earth?"

After listening to Gao Yao's words, Xiao He's face finally calmed down a little. It was not as pale as before, and he calmed down a lot. However, he was still a little frightened, and he needed time to digest this sudden incident.

Gao Yao was not in a hurry. This was the current black powder. However, the biggest use of black powder was basically this. Even though he knew that the principle of making cannons was very simple, it was not something Gao Yao could replicate at present.

The main reason is the material problem. The power of the explosion is simply not something that bronze can withstand. If it is barely made, the probability of successful launch is basically the same as the probability of explosion. It is too dangerous.

On the other hand, Xiao He was so excited that he was trembling all over. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Now he finally understood why Gao Yao described it as a treasure. It was indeed a treasure, and it was a treasure that ordinary people would not even dare to think about. It was definitely a killer weapon. If this thing could be ignited in the enemy camp, it would definitely make the enemy lose their ability to resist in an instant and be at the mercy of others.

"My lord, this magical object will surely help us!" Xiao He said excitedly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Gao Yao nodded with satisfaction. He knew that Xiao He had understood the value of this weapon. This was the purpose of Gao Yao bringing Xiao He here today, to let Xiao He know the existence of black gunpowder. It was also to give Xiao He such confidence. With the existence of this thing, the Southern Territory could almost be said to be naturally invincible. Although it could not reach the point of winning every battle, it was undoubtedly able to influence a war.

"However, although this thing is good, the production method must be kept strictly confidential and must not be disclosed to others. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous," Gao Yao warned seriously.

Xiao He nodded solemnly to show that he understood. He knew the seriousness of the matter and would keep it a secret. Xiao He knew very well how influential this weapon was. Once it got out, the impact would be extraordinary.

As for Gao Yao, he did not want to expose the existence of black gunpowder. He was not sure whether Yi Xiaochuan could produce it, but Yi Xiaochuan was a genuine college student. He must have a certain understanding of this kind of knowledge that people in later generations would have been exposed to more or less in school.

Of course, just knowing is not enough. It requires conducting relevant experiments to master a more accurate ratio. However, it is not impossible to do it with a certain amount of theoretical knowledge, not to mention the existence of Beiyanshanren.
