The others: "…"
They all looked at Gu Xia Mo thoughtfully and felt that this man was surprisingly useful in his invention. It seed that if he truly wanted to think about it, he could help them to create many things that was useful but would not be beyond cognition.
Like these things…
"Huh?" Yan Jin Nian was still confused.
She's a psychologist in her previous life and in this world, she didn't really participate in war like others. So even if Gu Xia Mo had explained so clearly, Yan Jin Nian still couldn't understand the significance of the invention that her husband made just now.
"To put it simply, you can sneak into the enemy's territory easily without the need to worry about the ember you're carrying died down or be found out by others," Long Qian Xing said. "After all, carrying a burning fire and walking in the forest, even if it's in the middle of the day, there's a chance that you will be found out."
He had also used fire tactic when facing his enemies in the past, but the fire tactic was limited. Because Long Qian Xing knew very well that if he let his subordinates carry fire in the forest, there would be a chance of them being found out by the other party.
So this tactic was usually used during other tis.
But with this fire piston…
Many things have beco easier.
"Technology is really terrifying." Song Yun Xiang laughed and then said, "But I don't think many of us like to use fire tactics."
Because many of their terrains were forest and if they were to start fire recklessly, there was a chance of them starting a forest fire. When a forest fire started, they could accidentally spread the fire to the friendly forces.
At that ti, who knew who would cry in the end?
And the main reason why the six kingdoms back then were reluctant to use fire unless necessary was because there was already a precedent of a big forest fire in a war. It destroyed both armies, so they didn't dare to use fire tactic recklessly.
"Yes, it's true." Long Qian Xing nodded.
He didn't use fire tactic that much.
While he had tried it in so battles, but he was not very fond of using this kind of thod because of the unpredictable consequences.
"You always like to calculate everything, Song Yun Xiang." Gu Xia Mo shrugged helplessly. "Anyway, this can be used for your own private use… but I doubt that you two will need it."
It was only then Gu Xia Mo rembered that these two people in front of him could be considered as 'noble' people in this era.
Have you seen the nobles cook by themselves?
There would be servants helping them to cook when they needed it.
So what was the point of them having a fire starter like this?
The reason why Gu Xia Mo made it was actually for himself and then he thought of bringing to Long Qian Xing and Song Yun Xiang. If they needed it, he could hand it over to them.
But it seed that he was thinking too much.
These two people didn't really need it.
"Thank you for your care." Long Qian Xing chuckled but didn't refuse the gift from Gu Xia Mo. He turned his eyes to the small bombs on the side. "The gunpowder sll is really strong. Is it really gunpowder?"
"Yes, it's really gunpowder, but the raw materials are a bit…" Gu Xia Mo coughed. "Anyway, it can be used."
Song Yun Xiang: "…"
Long Qian Xing: "…"
For so reason, the two of them had the feeling that Gu Xia Mo must have used so indescribable thing when making the gunpowder. This made them a bit unwilling to get close to that small bomb.
But in the end, Long Qian Xing sighed. "I think I can guess what it is if even Yan Jin Nian looks disgusted."
The other two pairs of eyes turned to look at Yan Jin Nian, who looked away in embarrassnt. She didn't an to, but she really knew what Gu Xia Mo used to make the gunpowder.
The problem is…
Ugh, she didn't want to rember that thing.
Song Yun Xiang was silent. "Let's not talk about this or we won't be able to eat later. What I want to know is whether the gunpowder you prepared will be different from others."
"You know, the main reason why guns have not been made until more than 1000 years later is because the composition of the gunpowder itself can vary." Gu Xia Mo chuckled. "The correct ratio has never been found, so the lethality is small but what I made for you is definitely the best that can be made in this rough environnt."
In terms of invention, Gu Xia Mo was sure that if he dared to claim second, no one would be able to claim first.
Even the transmigrator on the northern tribe's side would not be able to.
Because Gu Xia Mo had seen what that man made and estimated his strength. It was really poorer than him.
Of course, it might be related to the limited equipnt.
But if he really wanted to, it was not impossible to make so equipnt that could help him to make it.
So it was either the person was careless.
Or he was simply unable to make it.
"Hmm, then you should be able to make guns…"
"No, the iron is not good enough." Gu Xia Mo rolled his eyes. "I need skilled blacksmith to help to prepare the iron nugget but the existing ones are definitely far from it."
The weapons made for the soldiers were actually quite good for the people in this era, but if it was made into guns…
It was far from enough.
"Unless you want a weapon that will break down after a few uses and possibly endanger your lives, I don't recomnd making such equipnt."
