Chapter 60 Gentlemen, please listen to the dragon's roar!
[Gentlemen, please listen to the dragon's roar! ]

on the screen.

As the researchers pressed the detonation button.

Throughout the dynasties, countless people witnessed this scene that they will never forget.

Only seen in the video.

As if it was a punishment from God, a huge fireball ignited!

The mushroom cloud that rose into the sky swallowed everything, and the earth-shaking explosion, like the wrath of the gods, swallowed up the entire world in a sea of ​​​​hot light.

“Is this the atomic bomb?”

There was a slight tremor in Zhu Di's voice.

Even though he had experienced countless wars, the scene before him was beyond his imagination.

Looking at the doomsday-like scene, Zhu Di felt an unprecedented threat.

"This thing actually has the power to destroy the world!"

At this moment, Zhu Di's mind flashed through the battles he had experienced over the years.

Even if all these brutal wars were added together, they are nothing compared to the power of the atomic bomb.

"With such terrifying power, it can easily destroy a city, right?" Zhu Di exclaimed repeatedly.

It's not like he hasn't seen the explosion of gunpowder before.

Through the sky curtain, he also witnessed the power of modern grenades and explosive packs of later generations, but these things were completely incomparable to the magical object called the atomic bomb!

The gap between them is like that between a firefly and the bright moon!

[The effective killing radius of an atomic bomb with a yield of 100 million tons is 6.93 kilometers, covering an area of ​​150 square kilometers.]

“150 square kilometers!”

At this moment.

In the court, countless people gasped when they saw the power of the atomic bomb.

"This thing is extremely powerful. If it falls into the hands of evil people, it will cause great disaster."

Zhu Gaochi said worriedly: "If this power is not used with caution, it will probably bring endless disasters to the world."

"Yeah! How could later generations come up with something like this?"

The ministers were discussing the matter, and worry was evident in everyone's eyes.

The power of the atomic bomb has exceeded their understanding.

When anything powerful and unknown appears, many people's instinctive reaction is fear, which is human nature.

"Everyone, don't forget, according to Tianmu's introduction, this thing was not invented by China!"

"We are just trying to protect ourselves!"

Zhu Zhanji was young and energetic after all, and he quickly got rid of the shock and fear.

Looking at the ministers around him who were in panic, he said loudly: "I remember Tianmu said that having a sword in hand and having a sword in hand but not using it are two different things!"

"This thing is like a sword hanging over our heads all the time. If we don't have it, the sword will always be in the hands of others. How can we Chinese people tolerate the threat from foreign races?"

"How can we, the great China, be controlled by an enemy country?"

Following Zhu Zhanji's loud shout.

Many ministers later realized why the younger generations in the video said: Without the atomic bomb, the Chinese people would not be able to stand up straight and would have no confidence!

Just imagine, if there is a sword hanging over your head all the time, who can sleep soundly?

"No wonder those people said they would build an atomic bomb even if they had to sell everything they had."

There was a strange light flashing in Zhu Di's eyes.

He secretly made up his mind that he would never let the Ming Dynasty be controlled by such a terrible force!

The best way is to build an atomic bomb and then study ways to counter it.

Moreover, Zhu Di knew very well that once the Ming Dynasty possessed such weapons, it would completely change the pattern of war.

Perhaps it can also become the life-saving talisman of the Ming Dynasty and deter villains!
Of course, Zhu Di would not express these thoughts in public.

It goes without saying that once he expresses these ideas, it will cause an uproar in the court.

The best way is to select some reliable people and conduct secret research!

……

"Oh my god, is this a magic trick?"

Just as the Ming Dynasty's rulers and ministers were horrified by the power of the atomic bomb.

At this moment, more than 1600 years ago, the Qin Dynasty's first emperor Ying Zheng was also shocked.

Destroy heaven and earth.

This is no longer a power that ordinary people can possess, right?
If it weren't for the magic, how could one achieve this?

However, reason told him that this was definitely not the power of an immortal.

Besides, Tianmu had already told him that this so-called atomic bomb was created by one ordinary soldier after another and a group of tireless and dedicated scientific researchers using their youth, sweat and wisdom!
"Could it be that everyone in the future will have immortal methods and everyone can become an immortal?"

Ying Zheng's thoughts were divergent.

Even though he already knew that the fairy island Xu Fu talked about was fictitious, Zheng Ge, who was obsessed with immortality, always thought of immortals in everything.

……

Western Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang looked at this scene in shock.

First there were muskets and warships, and now there’s something so terrifying like this. Doesn’t this mean that swords are useless in later generations?
How cruel must that war be!

What have the descendants of later generations experienced?

"No wonder the Chinese people had to shed so much blood and die so many people before they could win the war of resistance."

Liu Bang couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken.

……

Three Kingdoms period.

Zhuge Liang was carefully recording what he saw and heard through the sky curtain.

While taking notes, he said to Jiang Wei, "Bo Yue, I remember there is a folk legend that some Taoists experienced explosions while refining elixirs. Please take the trouble to come and check it out for me. It would be best if you can find some people who have had similar experiences."

"Prime Minister, do you mean that this matter is related to gunpowder?" Jiang Wei's eyes lit up and a hint of excitement appeared on his expression.

Noticing Jiang Wei's excitement, Zhuge Liang knew what he was thinking, so he shook his head and smiled slightly.

"Don't think too much, Bo Yue. I just think there might be some connection between the two. Everything needs to be verified."

However, upon hearing this, Jiang Wei's eyes brightened even more.

I couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in my heart.

The power of gunpowder has been clearly demonstrated in the sky.

If the Prime Minister could develop gunpowder, he might be able to turn the situation around and make the Northern Expedition a success!

……

now.

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was also in the shock of the devastating atomic bomb.

"Gunpowder, firearms, explosives, and now the atomic bomb..."

Li Shimin never imagined that gunpowder would develop to this extent in later generations.

One bullet destroyed an entire city, how terrifying!
"Huh? I see that this gunpowder and the fireworks are similar in nature. Could it be that the fireworks are also made of gunpowder?"

Fang Xuanling suddenly said.

After his reminder, everyone remembered that not long ago, mandrills and plague invaded Chang'an. His Majesty summoned Li Ting to the capital to use gunpowder to make fireworks to disperse the mandrills and plague.

The scene of the fireworks explosion was similar to gunpowder in later generations, and I don’t know if there is any connection between the two.

"Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit like that!" Changsun Wuji said excitedly, "Your Majesty, why don't you summon Li Ting to come here and interrogate him in detail?"

Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed: "If we can also develop the atomic bomb, wouldn't our Tang Dynasty be invincible in the world?"

Everyone rolled their eyes.

Fang Xuanling said speechlessly: "With our current alchemy technology, we can't even make ordinary explosives, let alone atomic bombs. It would be great if we can find a way to use gunpowder on the battlefield."

Cheng Yaojin scratched his head embarrassedly.

Of course, the use of gunpowder in warfare made history.

After all, gunpowder was first used on the battlefield in the late Tang Dynasty.

The rulers and ministers of the Tang Dynasty understood the principle of eating one bite at a time.

……

Subsequently.

In the sky, the camera changes again.

Above a desert, with a loud bang, a huge rocket streaked across the sky, dragging a long tail flame straight into the sky!

……

Throughout the ages.

Countless people stared at this scene in stunned silence.

"It's gone! It's gone! Could it have flown to the ninth heaven?"

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng stared at the rocket that disappeared into the air with his eyes wide open, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. …

The screen changed again.

This is already a scene of looking down on the earth through a satellite.

……

"This is... the sun... the moon... the stars!"

Ying Zheng's eyes widened, like a primary school student learning astronomy for the first time, staring at everything in the sky:
"That sphere that is so fiery red that it is difficult to look directly at, is it the sun?"

"Could this blue star be the world under my rule?"

"But why is the world spherical? The ancients always said that the sky is round and the earth is square. Is that false?"

Looking at the blue planet, Ying Zheng's heart was filled with huge waves.

Many previous perceptions were shattered.

"Can people in later generations escape from this small world and travel to the nine heavens?"

"Will everyone in the future be immortal?"

Not only was Ying Zheng surprised, but all the ancient people in every dynasty were shocked.

……

Jiajing period.

In an official's house, a beautiful woman was crying.

"Master, you can't do that. If you fall, you will die!"

"A woman's view!"

A man who looked like an official shouted, "Flying to the sky is the long-cherished wish of the Chinese people for thousands of years. Even if I die, I will create a way for future generations to explore the sky!"

The person who was speaking was Wan Hu Tao Chengdao, who was known as the world's number one flying person.

At this moment, he has tied 47 rockets to the bottom of his seat and prepared two giant kites, just waiting for a good day to pursue his dream of flying!
And today is the auspicious day he has chosen. In just two hours, he will light the fuse and travel into space!

However, this kind of thing is bound to cause misunderstanding and obstruction from family members.

Just as Tao Chengdao and his wife were arguing, a man who looked like a servant rushed into the room in a panic.

"Master, Master! He has ascended to heaven! He has ascended to heaven!"

Tao Chengdao looked at the servant in confusion: "What do you mean by ascending to heaven? My good time has not yet come!"

The servant took a breath and continued, "The sky curtain! Look at the sky curtain!"

"The sky?" Wanhu Tao Chengdao was shocked and ran out of the house in a hurry, just in time to see the rocket rising into the sky.

Seeing the sun, moon, stars in the endless void, and the blue planet that gave birth to countless lives, he couldn't stop trembling, and then, tears flowed down his face.

"I did it... I, the Chinese, really did it..."

Knowing that people in future generations can break away from their own world and travel into space, Tao Chengdao feels that his life is not in vain!
……

real world.

Chen Yu, who was starving, quit the short video and went out to eat.

At the same time, in the historical planes of all dynasties, the sky quietly went out.

After lunch, he returned to his cramped rental house and continued watching short videos.

Two and a half years have passed quietly in various dynasties.

……

Yongle period.

Although it is not the Spring Festival yet, there is already joy inside and outside Yanjing, because today the Ming soldiers have returned victoriously from defeating the Japanese.

At this moment in the court, Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu was excitedly recounting his experience of fighting against the Japanese invaders over the past three months.

"Your Majesty, you have no idea how weak the Japanese dwarves are. I only brought 20,000 men with me, but within two months I beat 500,000 of them into a pulp. It's really not satisfying!"

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, all the ministers around him burst into laughter.

Who could have imagined that the Japanese pirates who would later defeat the Qing Dynasty would be so weak in combat in this era.

You have to know that the Ming army prepared for a year and a half before deciding to send troops.

Zhu Di originally thought that it would be a protracted war, at least a year and a half. Unexpectedly, in just two months, the Ming army, relying on its rich combat experience and advanced equipment, easily occupied the entire territory of Japan.

During the great victory, only more than 300 soldiers were killed or wounded.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been such an easy battle!

Zhu Di rolled his eyes at him and said, "Okay, stop being so ungrateful after getting such an advantage."

"I have equipped all your Japanese-conquering troops with new firearms."

"You should know that when Zheng He went out to sea to look for sweet potatoes, I only gave him half of the 30,000 men. The rest were equipped with inferior weapons discarded by the Shenjiying. If you can't take down Japan within three months, I don't know what to say to you."

Ever since seeing the power of later muskets, Zhu Di spent a lot of money to find skilled craftsmen and research new weapons.

The range of the muskets carried by the Ming army today is twice as high as before.

Although it was not able to reload as quickly as in later generations, the reloading time was more than twice as fast as before. Facing primitive people holding long knives, it was a complete dimensionality reduction attack.

"Hehe." Zhu Gaoxu scratched his head with a smile, and then said: "Your Majesty, I found a lot of gold mines in Japan this time, at least several hundred kilograms. With this gold, our Ming navy can at least expand three times!"

Zhu Gaoxu looked very proud.

"I already know about this matter. You don't have to worry about it. I will assign someone to be in charge from now on."

The emperor was the loneliest person in the world. In addition, Zhu Gaoxu had always compared himself to Li Shimin, so Zhu Di had always been on guard against his misbehavior. Naturally, Zhu Di's eyes and ears were indispensable in the army that went to conquer Japan.

Therefore, almost as soon as the army discovered the gold mine, relevant news was brought back to the capital by a special person at the risk of sinking his body to the bottom of the sea.

"Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide it from the emperor's eyes."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled without surprise.

Zhu Di glanced at him and said with a smile: "Tell me, you have made such a great contribution, what reward do you want?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty, when the navy expands in the future, can I be the Grand Admiral of the Navy?"

Zhu Gaoxu was somewhat embarrassed to tell everyone about his plan.

After the conquest of Japan, he completely fell in love with the feeling of conquering the world.

It's so cool to fight barbarians with advanced equipment.

Do whatever you want, whatever you want.

Now he finally understands the joy of conquering the world. Even if he is offered the position of emperor, he will think twice!

"Approved!" Zhu Di was very pleased.

He had this plan originally, so naturally he wouldn't refuse.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed. Looking at the ecstatic Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Di smiled meaningfully.

Let this kid do what he wants. It's a good opportunity for him to explore the way first. If Ming wants to conquer the world in the future, it will need the service of the royal family.

after all.

Zhu Di was not at ease handing this job over to outsiders.

What if these ministers took the Ming army and found a place to establish their own regime?
But it is different for the royal family.

No matter what, we all have the surname Zhu, so at least the benefits should be kept within the family.

"Grandpa Emperor, there is more good news today. Zheng He sent a letter saying that the treasure ship has arrived in Luzon. Not only did it find sweet potatoes, it also helped the locals defeat the local colonists. The local people in Luzon are willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Zhanji didn't want to see his second uncle being so arrogant, so he immediately told him the news he had just learned.

Zhu Di also knew about this, and Zhu Zhanji learned about it from Zhu Di.

Originally, Zhu Di wanted to take advantage of the victory of the Prince of Han's return to announce these two happy events at once and have the whole country celebrate, but he didn't expect that this brat Zhu Zhanji would be so impatient.

Before I even mentioned it, the other party had already revealed it.

Of course, Zhu Di didn't care about such a small matter. He just glared at the brat and then said with a smile: "Today is really a double happiness. Let the Ministry of Rites prepare a charter and we will celebrate together."

"In addition, I have decided to add a new province in Japan. Each department will select some people to see if there are any suitable people to serve in Japan."

"As for Luzon, the people have already submitted to me and are the subjects of the Ming Dynasty. I cannot ignore it. I order Zheng He to select a person of high moral character and prestige to govern together with the imperial envoy."

Zhu Di had completely different attitudes towards Japan and Luzon.

Japan's wolfish ambitions must be guarded against, so Zhu Di would never give Japan a chance to make a comeback.

The current policy of the Ming Dynasty is to find a way to bring most of the men on the island back to the country in batches and send them to remote areas to open up wasteland.

As for women...

In order to avoid the situation where there are more girls than boys on the island, the teachers feel lonely and unbearable.

The imperial court would also arrange some domestic craftsmen to go and mine gold.

These people could not only marry local Japanese women, but also help the imperial court mine gold, killing two birds with one stone.

In order to attract people to go to Japan, the imperial court would also promote the slogan of gold rush and give out wives for free, giving two or three wives for free to each person, so there would be no fear of not attracting people.

I believe that within one or two hundred years, Japan will be completely assimilated and will no longer be able to cause trouble.

As for Luzon.

There was no deep hatred between the two sides, and the people of the other side were determined to surrender.

In addition, the Ming fleet is currently not as fast as it would be in later generations, and the two sides are too far apart to be reached, so for the time being, the main approach is to appease them.
