Chapter 1372 Large-Scale Application

Below.

Someone said respectfully.

"Your Excellency is right. I didn't expect that the barrier would be opened on our side one day. I hope the forces inside are not too weak. This will cause us to lose a lot of supplies and interest."

"If they dare to break the barrier near us, they will have to bear our attacks. Such newly emerged countries can only be abused by us. I hope they have been purified to the Stone Age, otherwise we really don't know how to start."

"Hahaha, don't be like this. Maybe they don't even have a few people. This is too depressing."

"It's unlikely. I seem to hear that they said that this area that suddenly appeared seems to be very large, much larger than the areas that appeared before."

"It doesn't matter. Aren't they still natives? We have been out for so long. They are closed to the outside world. How could they beat us?"

"..."

Everyone teased.

Above.

9999 looked at the people below with a smile.

Who doesn't like to hear flattery? He likes these people to flatter them so much.

However.

Just then.

A white man hurried in, looking a little anxious.

"Sir, something unusual happened in the outside world."

This sentence interrupted the business flattery of the crowd.

"Oh?"

9999 sat on the top, crossed his legs, and just let out a light exclamation, not really caring.

Unusual things, could it be that someone died, or the glacier melted?

"Speak!"

The subordinate quickly said: "Our people found a huge empty island. There was no one on this empty island, but they were still flying."

9999 looked angry.

This is also called a thing.

If there is no one on an empty island, they have to report to him, then how can he handle so many things every day?

"You'd better say something, otherwise I can't guarantee whether your life can still survive."

9999 said with an unhappy look.

An uninhabited empty island may be used by other forces for fishing. Do you have to report this kind of news?

The subordinate continued.

"Sir, not only that, our people found a lot of gunpowder smoke and... pungent fireworks on that empty island."

"Then, someone discovered that the pungent smell of smoke was actually the smell of gunpowder."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone was stunned immediately.

What?

Gunpowder?

Everyone was puzzled. They had not yet developed gunpowder, and it had not appeared anywhere on the market. How could there be gunpowder if there was news of gunpowder?

"Is it possible that you checked it wrong? The smell of gunpowder might not be gunpowder?"

"That's right, this kind of news can't be misleading, otherwise we can't be sure of the authenticity of the news. Anyway, we have never heard of the appearance of explosives anywhere. You must be spreading rumors."

"You didn't make a wrong judgment, right? There is no material that can make explosives in our area. How could anyone use explosives? You must have seen it wrong."

"This joke is not funny at all."

"..."

Everyone frowned.

Although they said they didn't believe it.

But they had already begun to doubt it in their hearts.

After all.

This subordinate is not a fool. Such a major matter will definitely be reported after a strict inspection, rather than reporting it hastily after smelling the smell.

So.

What is the situation of that sky island?

Above.

9999 sat on the chair with a blank expression.

"Can you confirm that it is the smell of gunpowder?"

The subordinate nodded firmly.

"It can be confirmed."

"Not only that, I am afraid that you will not believe it this time, so we also used a bottle to capture a little smell on the sky island. As long as you smell it, you may know whether it is the smell of gunpowder."

"Bring it up for me to see."

9999 said immediately after hearing this.

The subordinate took the bottle and walked up to hand it to 9999.

Soon.

9999, who smelled the smell of the bottle, frowned.

This smell... is indeed very similar to gunpowder.

Although he did not have much contact with gunpowder before, he could still touch that kind of derivative firecrackers.

This smell is very similar to the smell of burning gunpowder.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

The people below asked expectantly.

"That's right!"

9999 was silent for a moment, and slowly said: "This is the smell of gunpowder, but gunpowder must be made with saltpeter. Now there is gunpowder, where is the saltpeter?"

"And how can there be a smell of gunpowder on an empty island?"

"Could it be that they provoked someone, and that group of people happened to have gunpowder, so they killed those people on the island, and the island was exiled, and then it was discovered by our people?"

Everyone thought.

"It is very likely that the people on the island provoked other forces, and that group of forces used gunpowder to kill all the people on the island and exiled the island."

"That's right, there is only this possibility, but who is this force with gunpowder, and where did they get the saltpeter?"

"Saltpeter is a necessity for making gunpowder. If we can get saltpeter, doesn't it mean that we can also make gunpowder?"

"Sir, we have to find that group of people and ask them to hand over the saltpeter. At the very least, we have to learn from them where to get saltpeter, so that we can make gunpowder ourselves."

"I think this plan is great!"

"..."

They were discussing how to better get the saltpeter and then make gunpowder.

However.

What they didn't know was that those were not gunpowder, but explosives!

Although explosives and gunpowder are very similar, their power is different.

The lethality of gunpowder depends entirely on burning, but the power of explosives comes from burning and explosion.

9999 nodded.

"I also have this idea. I want to find that mysterious sky island and ask them how to make gunpowder."

"Give orders to let others find that mysterious sky island."

"Yes."

The subordinate nodded and left here.

…………

…………

At the same time.

As time goes by.

More and more people from the sky island world have appeared outside the barrier.

They relied on explosives to win with fewer troops and gained a reputation.

However.

This also made more and more people begin to notice the appearance of explosives.

After all.

The sound of explosives exploding cannot be reduced.

And the smoke after the explosion is difficult to deal with and can be easily discovered by others.

In the area.

It is said that many forces can already make gunpowder and start to use it on a large scale.

…………

…………

9999 Sky Island.

At this moment.

Everyone's face is solemn.

They have received the news about this area in the past two days.
