"Cough cough."

Hua Dexing coughed twice and looked at the palace maids and eunuchs standing around him.

Jiang Hetang waved his hand gently, and Eunuch Su asked them all to leave. He then followed him out, not forgetting to close the door.

However, even after everyone else was dismissed, Hua Dexing still hesitated and couldn't explain clearly.

"I, was, many years ago, uh, the princess..."

Mingyue was speechless. "Forget it, stop talking. I'll do it!"

Hua Dexing fell silent instantly.

He was really a little excited now, and wanted to tell everything at once, but it seemed that he couldn't explain it clearly.

Hey, you’re such a deadbeat! You let me down at the critical moment!

"It's like this," Mingyue walked to the center of the hall. "In short, Imperial Doctor Hua has created something that can explode, which is what caused the explosion last night."

"Once this technology matures, it will be a huge boost to the military power of the Great Zhou!"

"They're still brandishing swords and guns, let's just fire our artillery at them! Blast them to pieces without leaving a single piece of armor!"

Seeing that they had no expression on their faces and didn't speak, Mingyue thought that what she said was not attractive enough to them.

I racked my brains and thought that I could make fireworks.

"You can also make fireworks and firecrackers, um... small explosions. They'll pop and crackle during the New Year, which is so much fun."

But in fact, when others heard that this thing could be controlled at will, especially that it could be used on the battlefield, they were shocked.

Hua Dexing had never been so excited as he was at this moment. It turned out that this thing he had tinkered with could be used in this way to defend the country!

Zhao Yunshan had actually been to the battlefield, and he knew very well that if there really was such a thing at their disposal, then the combat effectiveness of their Great Zhou would be as if they had divine help!

At this moment, her eyes turned fiery as she looked at Hua Dexing, completely forgetting that she had just disliked him for being old.

Jiang Hetang thought of those small countries that appeared to be respectful to the Great Zhou, but actually had evil intentions hidden in their hearts.

"If there is such a magic weapon, the good men of my Great Zhou who guard the border will be able to return home with glory in the future." There is no need to return home in a shroud of horse hide.

He was excited and said that this matter needed to be discussed with his trusted ministers.

Hua Dexing was protected, and Jiang Hetang set aside a piece of land in a remote courtyard in the palace for him to study those things.

The Imperial Medical Bureau had everything he needed, and he remembered the steps and proportions clearly in his mind. Hua Dexing was happy to stay in the palace.

After hearing this, Wen Xun felt like he was dreaming. He was sent to bring back all the things Hua Dexing left at the Golden Summit.

Destroy everything that cannot be taken away and do not let anyone else find out about this.

To this end, he even made up a pretext...

Mingyue was left behind.

"Mingyue, quickly tell your uncle/father about that explosion? What exactly was it? How will it be used in the future?"

Um, how can I, a liberal arts student, explain this specifically?

"Emmm, that's right, we can call it gunpowder. This stuff, if mixed properly and ignited with fire, will make a loud noise and blow people and objects around it to pieces."

She simply started drawing on paper. "Then you can add a fuse, light it, and throw it at the enemy's location. Boom! They're gone."

"It can be made into a cannon barrel, and then fired directly at the enemy. It can also be made into a bird gun, which is easy to carry and more powerful than an arrow."

Looking at the passionate eyes of Daddy and Uncle, Mingyue felt a little guilty...

"But...but...this still requires everyone's hard work in research and production. This is just my imagination, hahahaha."

"There's no rush... There's no rush."

Mingyue smiled awkwardly. She really didn't understand the specific drawings.

Whether it's on TV or in cartoons, all I see is the outer appearance. I have no idea about the internal structure.

Jiang Hetang and Zhao Yunshan did not expect to be able to create such a powerful weapon in a short time.

If it were that simple, anyone could make it!

But they were still dazzled by what Mingyue described, imagining that if these were really possible, they could at least guarantee the stability and prosperity of the Great Zhou for hundreds of years!

"Yes, yes, there's no need for my dear uncle to think about these things. Let those people in the Ministry of Works who eat the emperor's salary do it!"

"Good Mingyue, go play with your grandmother and have some delicious food. You must be exhausted from the journey."

Jiang Hetang spoke in a low voice, holding his throat.

Mingyue was somewhat unable to accept it. After saying goodbye to her father and uncle, she ran to Yongshou Palace.

She was also afraid that if she stayed any longer, the two of them would come to her senses and start asking her all sorts of questions, questioning how she knew all these strange things.

"Have you heard? Have you heard?"

"The loud bang last night was a gift from God!" The young man seemed to have just learned this big secret and ran around excitedly telling others.

Many people were attracted by him and stopped to listen to what he had to say.

"Oh? Where? What gift?"

"Tsk, that noise woke me up from my dream. If you said someone was struck by lightning, I would believe you, but who would believe you if you said it was a gift?"

The woman who bought the pearl hairpin turned around and looked the young man up and down with a look of scorn on her face.

It seemed like he was saying that he was a good-looking kid, so why was he so boastful?

The young man didn't care at all and started explaining, "I heard it was a huge golden ball that fell to the ground and created a big hole right under Princess Mingzhu's moonlit golden roof."

He was afraid that everyone didn't know what the place was, so he explained it in detail. "It's the place that noble people like to go to, where they can cultivate their sentiments. It's on the mountain near Yuexia Village!"

When the princess was mentioned, many people believed it.

After all, in their hearts, the idea that Mingyue is a lucky star sent from heaven is deeply rooted.

"Really?! I wonder if I can go visit the miracle."

"I want to go too!"

"But I feel like these shouldn't be visited. After all, this is the princess's territory."

Everyone was surprised, but also a little disappointed.

"Who said it's impossible?!" The young man took a sip of tea and pointed in the direction of the government office. "Hey, there's a queue over there. I heard that starting the day after tomorrow, a hundred people can visit every day, but they need to draw lots."

"Lottery? What is that?"

"So many people want to go, how can we guarantee that everyone will go? That gentleman said that he will give everyone number plates, and the princess will select ten people who are destined to go and visit!"

"Really? At the government office? I'll go right away!"

"Go quickly, go quickly, I've got it anyway~" The young man proudly took out a brand new piece of paper from the cloth bag on his chest, on which was written his name, date and the words "No. 36".

"Ahhh, don't push me, don't push me!"

"I want to grab one for my eldest brother, he's going to take part in the Spring Examination soon!"

"I'll grab one for myself and ask for a marriage partner."

"I want one too. I want one too. I just want to see this miracle."

In just a few breaths, everyone around the young man disappeared without a trace and ran to the government office.
