The fish pond connects the past and present, and the tyrants of the fallen country seek fame every d

Gradually, many people have become accustomed to and numb to this situation to a certain extent, although they are still full of curiosity in their hearts.

However, due to the principle of military secrets, except for a very small number of people who are in the know, others can only endure and not talk about it even if they are full of doubts.

"Brother Cheng," a muscular young man in his early twenties whispered to his equally young but more dashing friend beside him, "Do you think the sound has gotten louder and harsher? It's obviously much louder than the last time we heard it."

"Yeah," the young man called Brother Cheng tilted his head slightly and nodded, while casting his gaze towards the nearby mountain range that was perennially shrouded in mist. "It's indeed several times louder than the noise we heard yesterday or even last week. It's truly bizarre!"

"I really can't guess what kind of treasure or monster is hidden in that valley behind?"

Another young man in a coarse battle uniform continued the conversation, "There's a commotion every day at a certain time."

"Ugh!"

A somewhat immature soldier couldn't help but sigh, "My heart feels like it's being scratched by a cat. I really can't help but want to find out what's going on."

"I've seen some unusual things happen before, but nothing of this magnitude."

The comrade standing nearby sighed in agreement and nodded vigorously in agreement.

Cheng Jing stared at a place on the back mountain where thick smoke was billowing.

At this moment, his eyes were shining with excitement but also mixed with a bit of confusion.

"Isn't this surprising? The prince himself told us a long time ago that the court is conducting some special experiments or a project to create unprecedented new weapons."

"And they didn't say we were completely forbidden from watching. Maybe they're not ready for a public appearance yet!"

Another companion added, his tone full of anticipation.

At this moment, a warning came from the side: "It's very dangerous to rush over at this time! Just listening to the posture is enough to make people terrified. Who knows what will happen next. You can see that they don't want everyone to peek at the inside story in advance. If someone really steps on a landmine and is blown to pieces..."

The speaker paused deliberately to emphasize the last few words.

Everyone who seemed interested at first immediately recalled the tragic scene when they heard this.

Those bloody and horrific scenes seemed vivid in their minds, making them shudder, and their hearts were suddenly filled with fear.

He immediately shut up.

Everyone lowered their heads silently, not daring to say another word, and the air seemed to become heavy.

The other end is deep in the back mountain.

"It's done!"

An excited voice broke the silence in the valley.

"Guard Wu, we've made black powder!"

A young researcher excitedly announced the good news loudly.

"It's quite powerful."

Another companion couldn't wait to add, his face beaming with immense pride.

"Maybe we can make a stronger version. Even if we can't actually hurt these people, it should be enough to scare them."

The man's tone was full of confidence. He believed that with such a weapon, the enemy would definitely be afraid.

One of them excitedly reported the current situation.

His words were full of longing and expectation for the future, hoping to bring more security to the team.

"That's right!"

Another colleague echoed this, completely agreeing with the researcher's opinion.

"I think we're now capable enough to take them down easily."

He said firmly, his eyes revealing unprecedented confidence and determination.

A hint of joy appeared on Wu Le's face.

After hearing the results reports from his subordinates, he, who was usually as calm as water, also showed a rare smile.

At this moment, he was standing there in a neat military uniform, looking heroic.

He quietly observed the smoke rising in front of him. The smoke and dust coming from the center of the explosion made him feel full of a sense of accomplishment, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. His complicated feelings were hard to describe.

The other people nearby were also wearing military uniforms, and they were all looking excitedly at the large crater formed by the explosion in the distance.

It was a huge circular pit, surrounded by stone fragments that had been shattered beyond recognition by the shock wave. The scene was extremely shocking.

"Put together the research results. I'm going to report to the master."

Soon, the smile on Wu Le's face disappeared, and he returned to his usual serious and rigorous state.

His orders were concise and powerful, without any unnecessary elaboration.

Everyone present was used to it and did not show any surprise.

Everyone is very familiar with this situation.

Whenever an important task is completed or there is new progress, Wu Le always reports the details to higher-ups.

"Ok."

The response came almost simultaneously, and everyone sprang into action.

After a short while, a thick research report was delivered to him, and after repeated checks to confirm that all the details were accurate.

Only then did he walk down the hillside with steady steps.

Every step he took seemed so firm and confident, as if the whole world could not stop him from moving forward.

At the same time, in a tent at the foot of the mountain,

Su Yuan snuggled in his arms, enjoying the warmth while playing a game on her tablet. The screen displayed a vibrant display of game graphics, but she was more concerned with the warmth around her. From time to time, she would look up at Xiao Yanheng, her smile revealing a sweetness and peace of mind.

Xiao Yanheng was busy dealing with the piles of documents and reports on his desk. Although the workload was heavy, it was all worth it to him in order to protect the safety and happiness of those around him.

However, his attention would often be drawn away by the girl in his arms, making it difficult for him to concentrate on the matters at hand.

But he didn't mind it, instead he liked this warm feeling.

The surrounding atmosphere is quiet and harmonious.

Suddenly, a familiar loud noise broke the silence, shaking the air.

Su Yuan was so scared that she instinctively hid in Xiao Yanheng's arms, and the latter immediately held her firmly.

"Yuan'er, are you okay?"

Xiao Yanheng asked the girl in his arms with concern.

"I'm fine."

"Heng, don't worry too much!"

Su Yuan knew very well that something was going on in the back mountain, and there would be occasional noises.

But this time the noise came too suddenly, which scared her a little.

Seeing that she was safe and sound, Xiao Yanheng finally felt relieved.

Fearing that he would ask more questions, Su Yuan quickly changed the subject.

"Heng, do you think today's explosion was louder than the previous ones? It seems to have more power this time."

"Yes."

The events of the past few days flashed through Xiao Yanheng’s mind quickly.

As he was speaking, someone outside the door reported: "Master, Wu Le wants to see you."

The two looked at each other and immediately understood Wu Le's intention.
