When they actually got closer, they were shocked to find that these dummy targets had suffered a great disaster.
After going in, they found that this family had already been bombed to pieces.
Though the cannonballs were solid iron balls, the force they threw was not to be underestimated.
These wooden targets wrapped in a layer of straw and covered with Armor, though sturdy, and difficult to cut through with a sword, were shockingly lethal under the impact of these iron clumps.
After carefully counting, this one cannon shot had actually brought down dozens of targets.
And these targets were all in a tragic state, either with arms and legs broken or cut directly in half.
The scene shocked the young Emperor trendously, his lips trembling uncontrollably:
"Is this really the force of that discharge?"
Lin Yi was speechless at this comnt, thinking the Emperor still misunderstood the device’s function.
Hard to say whether to praise his rich imagination or his carefree mind.
"Hehe, how about it, Your Majesty? Is the power of this thing sufficient?"
"Sufficient? Hehe, you really have a way with words, boy. If this thing went out, it would definitely be a sky-defying weapon of mass destruction.
No exaggeration, if I have a few of these mounted on the city walls, even if tens of thousands of nomadic soldiers co, I would not be worried."
Watching the Emperor’s soaring spirit for battle, Lin Yi felt imnsely gratified. His woman was happy, and that made him thrilled.
Of course, as the Emperor spoke, Lin Yi began to visualize a series of scenarios.
Indeed, he had begun to think about how to use these cannons to attack those nomadic tribes.
He believed that with these cannons, not just for those nomads, but even starting an ever-expanding empire was not impossible.
"However, calling this an enlarged version of a Fire Gun doesn’t quite fit the reality.
I originally thought it was just an elongated and modified Fire Gun.
Now it seems like it’s definitely not that simple.
This thing, while resembling the Fire Gun in concept, truly has no direct relation."
It must be said, the Emperor was sharp to recognize the fundantal difference with the Fire Gun.
Firearms may also have lethal power, but at best, they knock down one person at a shot.
But this device was different. Once fired, oh boy, it knocked down a whole group of people.
Just imagine, if it’s a large-scale siege, and tens of thousands of soldiers are gathered, firing one shot could essentially wipe out a Hundred Households!
"Hehe, it’s just called an enlarged Fire Gun to be more figurative.
I haven’t yet nad this thing, why don’t you take the trouble to na it, Your Majesty?"
Lin Yi knew the true na all too well.
However, he did not directly say the na, but wanted the Emperor to na it herself.
Of course, this was not to flatter anyone, not even the Emperor, but to make his woman happy.
The sense of achievent in naming, Lin Yi could guess, the Emperor would love it.
Indeed, when the Emperor heard that this thing had not yet been nad, she imdiately beca excited.
"The appearance of this thing is very impressive indeed, though it’s mighty, its shape is not much different from that original.
Especially the two wheels at the bottom, they are extrely distinctive.
Hmph, only soone like you could develop such a contraption, couldn’t you change its shape?"
The more she heard, the more speechless Lin Yi beca. He just wanted to exclaim in amazent.
Your Majesty, your imagination really is sothing. This thing has always looked like this historically; it’s not my fault.
Nevertheless, these were clearly not words he could say, so he could only give a wry smile and shake his head:
"Your Majesty, you may be overly concerned. This device is not related to that thing, nor is it modeled after it.
You might look carefully, doesn’t this also share the clever design of the Fire Gun?
Plainly speaking, this is just an upgraded and enlarged Fire Gun.
If you insist on thinking otherwise, there’s nothing that can be done.
Especially the two things you described as distinctive at the bottom, those are wheels, allowing it to be transported anywhere by horse-drawn carriage.
This makes transportation in battle very convenient."
The group that ca with him had already dispersed towards the targets.
Now that there were no others around, the Emperor felt completely at ease to speak without restraint.
Having heard Lin Yi’s explanation, she felt it made sense, perhaps she had indeed overthought.
Her thoughts being swayed slightly by this rogue.
Thus, the Emperor quickly changed the subject, no longer continuing this topic:
"Seeing this thing, it truly is powerful, why not just call it Majestic.
