Conferred Gods: Master Tongtian is my master

Xiao Bai looked at the various strange instruments on display, picked them up curiously, touched them one by one, and asked:

"Master, what are these things used for?"

"I asked the craftsmen to make these according to the drawings I provided. They are also the tools needed to make gunpowder. You will know how to use them later!"

"Oh, that's how it is!"

"Making gunpowder is not an easy task. It requires precise proportions and delicate operations. These tools are used to assist."

As Luo Shu spoke, he started to get busy.

"Xiaobai, just stand aside and assist. Do whatever you are needed for!"

"Yes, Master!"

Xiaobai watched Luo Shu's movements intently, afraid of missing any details.

Luo Shu took out the saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal that he had collected before and mixed them together in a certain proportion.

Afterwards, Luo Shu put the mixed gunpowder into a bronze fire tool, rubbed a piece of fuse, inserted it into the fire tool, and sealed the gap with clay. A cannonball containing gunpowder was ready.

Xiao Bai, who was standing by, saw Luo Shu making a black ball and asked curiously:

"Master, is this the gunpowder you made?"

"This is not gunpowder, this is a cannonball, and it's filled with gunpowder!" Luo Shu explained.

"This doesn't seem strange at all!"

Seeing Xiaobai's confused face, Luo Shu walked to an open space with the cannonball, put the cannonball on the ground, waved his hand, and ignited the fuse with a spell. Then, his figure flashed and stood beside Xiaobai.

Xiaobai was just about to speak when suddenly, a deafening noise was heard. A gunpowder shell exploded not far from them, releasing enormous energy. The huge shock wave made the ground tremble.

Xiaobai quickly ran to the place where the shell exploded, and saw that a large deep pit had appeared on the originally flat ground, with some residual debris and smoke scattered around.

Looking at the deep pit, Xiaobai was filled with shock. He had never seen such a huge explosive force without the use of magic power. This was completely beyond his imagination.

"Master, this... this is amazing!"

Xiaobai exclaimed, with a tremor in his voice.

Luo Shu was delighted, and his excitement was beyond words. He had never expected that his first attempt at making a cannonball would lead to such an amazing success.

This shows that his previous gunpowder ratio was correct. Although it was not as sophisticated and efficient as that of later generations, in this Shang Dynasty, such gunpowder was already enough to become an extremely lethal weapon.

He leaned over and carefully observed the huge deep pit. A faint smoke was still rising from the edge of the pit, as if telling of the power of the moment just now.

Luo Shu's eyes flashed with excitement and pride. He knew that he had just created a weapon that could change the pattern of war.

Xiaobai was also standing aside, his eyes also flashing with surprise and admiration.

Looking at Luo Shu, his heart was filled with admiration and trust for his master. He knew that his master was a man full of wisdom and creativity, who could always create amazing miracles.

Luo Shu looked at Xiao Bai who was standing beside him, and seeing that he was eager to try, he smiled and said:

"Xiao Bai, follow the process I made before and make a few!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai couldn't wait to start making it. Although it wasn't as beautiful as Luoshu's, the explosion effect was almost the same.

Luo Shu looked at the utensils and raw materials placed in front of him and thought:

"Should we change the ratio and see if there is any hope of improvement?"

He changed it as soon as he said it, so in the following days, Luo Shu continued to study and improve gunpowder.

Constantly adjusting the ratio and optimizing the production process, in order to make the gunpowder more and more powerful.

Unfortunately, Luo Shu really didn't have that talent, and the gunpowder ratio of later generations was the best choice, so he could only give up his idea.

......

A day later, Luo Shu returned to the Grand Tutor's Mansion with the cannonballs he and Xiao Bai made, and told Wen Zhong about the gunpowder.

When Wen Zhong heard this, he realized the importance of the matter and immediately decided to go to the palace, meet King Zhou and explain the matter to him.

So Luo Shu and Wen Zhong entered the palace together.

In the royal palace, the Longde Hall was magnificent and golden. King Zhou sat on the high dragon throne with a frown on his face, handling government affairs.

A palace maid walked in, bowed, and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, Grand Master Wen and State Master Luo have important matters to report!"

"Quickly invite the Grand Master and the Imperial Master into the palace!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, King Zhou put down the memorial in his hand, stood up, and quickly asked the palace servants to invite them into the hall.

If only Master Wen came, King Zhou might have guessed that it was a military matter, but since Master Luo came along, it was a matter of great benefit to the country and the people, and King Zhou could not afford to be negligent in it.

The palace servant took the order and left. After a while, Grand Master Wen and Luo Shu walked into the Longde Hall.

When King Zhou saw the two men entering the hall, he waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to salute, and asked hurriedly:

"I wonder what important matter has the Imperial Master and Grand Master come here for?"

Luo Shu walked forward, flipped his palm, and a cannonball appeared in his hand.

He looked at King Zhou with deep eyes and said in a sonorous and powerful voice:

"Your Majesty, I have brought a new weapon today, called a cannonball. This cannonball is filled with gunpowder. Once ignited, it will explode with great power, enough to destroy the city walls and defeat the enemy."

Upon hearing this, King Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of curiosity and expectation flashed in his eyes, and an urge to explore surged in his heart.

"Oh! Is this thing really so powerful? Can you demonstrate it to me?"

"Your Majesty, of course you can. The explosion of this thing will be quite powerful, so we need to find a larger venue!"

"Master Luo, can we use the training ground inside the palace?"

"It just needs to be big enough and open space!"

"Okay, then please ask the Imperial Master and Grand Master to go with me to the martial arts training ground!"

So, King Zhou, Luo Shu and others came to the martial arts training ground.

Luo Shu looked at the martial arts training ground in front of him and thought it was really big!

"Master Luo, we can begin!" said King Zhou.

Upon hearing this, Luo Shu nodded and walked towards the center of the training ground.

He took out the shell and lit its fuse. With a loud bang, the shell exploded instantly, releasing huge energy.

At the moment of the explosion, a dazzling flash of fire streaked across the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar, and the whole earth seemed to be shaking.

A strong shock wave spread out in all directions centered on the shell.

"Grandmaster, I will immediately issue an order to have the manufacturing workshop mass-produce this item. It is strictly forbidden to leak any information about this item. If anyone is found to have passed on the information, they will be severely punished!"

King Zhou realized that this new weapon would play an immeasurable role in enhancing the military strength of the Shang Dynasty, and he must strictly control it.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wen Zhong said seriously.

Then, King Zhou looked at Luo Shu and said seriously:

"Good! Master Luo has made great contributions again. Just ask for whatever you want. As long as I have it, I will give it to you with both hands!"

Hearing this, Luo Shu shook his head and said:

"I am a cultivator, and everything I do is for the sake of Da Shang. I don't ask for any reward!"

"State Master, I will host a banquet today to entertain you!"

Luo Shu thought about it and had some other things to explain, so he agreed!

At this moment, a system prompt sounded in Luo Shu's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Completed the mission of going to Chaoge, helping King Zhou, and improving the fortune of the Shang Dynasty for two hundred years! A set of Chaos Clock geographical coordinates as a reward! ]

[Ding! Mission rewards are sent to the system space! ]

Luo Shu then realized that if Fire was to be recognized by the Human Emperor, the fortunes of the Shang Dynasty would rise again, and it would take more than two hundred years to complete the task.

His mind moved, and he looked at a geographical coordinate map in the system space, feeling very excited.
