Chapter 421

He Zhiran could roughly determine from the interval between the sounds that Fifth Elder Brother had likely successfully made gunpowder and ignited it inside a bamboo tube.

In other words, the bomb was most likely successfully developed.

Madam He had no idea what the sound she heard a few days ago was, and when she heard it again today, she simply thought someone was setting off firecrackers.

However, this time the firecrackers didn\'t last as long as the previous time.

"Ranran, is there any local custom here to set off firecrackers for no apparent reason? It\'s not a festival or holiday, after all," Madam He couldn\'t help but ask curiously.

He Zhiran couldn\'t explain this question clearly and said vaguely, "There\'s no special custom. Maybe it\'s just some child from a family playing around."

Madam He didn\'t really care about this matter in the first place. It was just a casual question, and after He Zhiran explained, she didn\'t dwell on it any further.

At this moment, He Zhiran couldn\'t sit still anymore and slowly stood up.

"Mother, I\'m going to see what my husband is busy with."

When Madam He heard that her daughter was going to find her son-in-law, she understood and didn\'t follow along. It wouldn\'t be appropriate for her, as the mother-in-law, to intrude on the private time of the young couple.

"Alright, let Lan Er accompany you, and be careful on the way."

Mo Jiuye had been taking time to visit the breeding farm recently, so he was probably there now.

The small path up the mountain was just behind He Zhiran\'s courtyard. She didn\'t walk towards the direction of the breeding farm but headed straight to the backyard.

The loud noise just now had stirred things up, and Mo Jiuye planned to go up the mountain to investigate. As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he bumped into He Zhiran.

He Zhiran asked Lan Er to step aside and walked towards Mo Jiuye.

"Husband, I heard the sound just now, and it seems that the bomb has been successfully made."

Mo Jiuye also had the same feeling, but he didn\'t know as much about bombs as He Zhiran did. Now, hearing her say this, his excitement was written all over his face.

"If you say it\'s successful, then it must be. I\'ll go up the mountain to take a look."

In fact, He Zhiran came out to find Mo Jiuye for this purpose. After all, she also relied on her experience to judge whether it was really successful. Only seeing it with her own eyes would count.

After He Zhiran had explained the matter about the bomb just now, she had already sent Lan Er away. Even though Mo Jiuye was anxious, he still had to make sure He Zhiran returned home safely before leaving.

He Zhiran returned home and waited while Mo Jiuye quickly went up the mountain.

This time, the scene that greeted him was completely different from the previous one.

Fifth Elder Brother and Sixth Elder Brother were standing a few hundred meters away from the cave, examining several deep pits.

When they heard footsteps approaching, they turned their heads and saw Ninth Younger Brother. Both of them smiled brightly.

"You came just at the right time, Ninth Younger Brother. These are the results of our experiment today. The craters from the explosion are much deeper than the last time." Fifth Elder Brother couldn\'t hide his excitement in his words.

Sixth Elder Brother added, "And compared to the craters from the last explosion, these have also expanded a lot, which means the power has increased."

Mo Jiuye listened to the words of his two elder brothers and strode over to the deep pit to inspect it.

As they had described, the pit that had been blasted today was indeed deep and wide. Although its power was not as strong as the grenades he used when attacking the people of Southern Xinjiang, the destructive force was not to be underestimated.

Moreover, his wife had made it clear that the bombs made from the gunpowder he developed would not have the same power as grenades. If they could achieve thirty percent of the lethality of a grenade, it would be considered a success.

Mo Jiuye silently compared the power of the two weapons in his mind and was certain that the bombs made by his fifth brother and sixth brother could achieve more than forty percent of the power of a grenade.

"Fifth Elder Brother, Sixth Elder Brother, we have succeeded."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint rustling sound came from the distance.

Being martial artists, the brothers had exceptional hearing. Without even looking, they could tell that the sound was not made by humans.

Especially Fifth Elder Brother, who had many years of hunting experience.

"It\'s wild boars."

It was not surprising to find wild boars in the deep mountains.

In the past, if they encountered wild boars, the brothers would undoubtedly hunt them down and bring them home for everyone to taste.

However, in Mo Jiuye\'s eyes, the wild boars today had a greater purpose.

"Fifth Elder Brother, Seventh Elder Brother, do you still have the bombs you made?"

Seeing his ninth brother asking this, the two elder brothers realized his intention.

Fifth Elder Brother quickly took out a small bamboo tube from his waist and held it in his hand.

"I have one left. I planned to bring it back to show you the power, and now it comes in handy."

Using a bomb to blow up a wild boar would yield much better results than throwing it into an open area.

After reaching a unanimous decision, the brothers silently retreated dozens of meters.

As soon as they settled into position, two enormous wild boars emerged from the jungle.

Without hesitation, Fifth Elder Brother lit the fuse of the bamboo tube with a match and threw it in the direction of the two wild boars.

In an instant, a deafening explosion erupted.

In the brothers\' line of sight, the wild boar closest to the bomb was blasted high into the air, its body torn apart. Flesh and blood mingled with dust as they all fell into the deep pit.

The other wild boar, which was farther away from the bomb, was also reduced to a bloody mess in the pit, devoid of any signs of life.

It should be noted that the skin of a wild boar is quite tough. If it can be blown up like this by a bomb, one can imagine how devastating it would be if it were to hit a person.

The brothers looked at the scene before them, unable to hide their joy.

Especially Fifth Elder Brother, no one knew better than him how much effort he had put into developing this weapon.

The three brothers embraced each other in excitement.

"Sixth Brother, Ninth Brother, did you see that? We did it, the weapon research was successful."

Sixth Elder Brother was also thrilled. "Yes, with such a weapon, we no longer have to worry about anyone threatening our Mo family."

At the same time, he had already confirmed one fact: why Ninth Sister was so confident in saying that only a thousand soldiers were needed to raise an army.

With such weapons, let alone a thousand soldiers, even if it was just the nine brothers of the Mo family, they would be able to repel any attacker.

The brothers quickly cleaned up the traces left by the experimental bomb and descended the mountain together.

With such a significant event, it was only natural to inform their father and older brothers as soon as possible.

This time, the fourth elder brother also took part.

Ever since the fifth elder brother and the others started researching weapons on the mountain, he had been anxious at home, always wishing to be of some help.

Although he hadn\'t contributed anything so far, he still cared deeply about it. Therefore, when he heard that all the male members of the family were going to their father to discuss matters, the fourth elder brother insisted on being supported by his wife to come along.
