146: Chapter 146 Such a deadly weapon exists in the world! The entire Qin Dynasty leadership was stunned.

He Zhi also plopped down onto the ground.

Not just him and the First Emperor; almost all the onlookers were shaken by the shockwaves and blast waves, unable to stand and falling to the ground.

This included Xiang Yu.

He never imagined that even though the epicenter of the explosion was clearly so far away, it would still make them lose their footing.

Xiang Yu had never been this panicked.

The earth-shaking explosion just now had already filled his heart with infinite dread.

After seeing the effects of the explosive packs, he was completely stunned.

If these explosive packs were used on people, what kind of scene would that be?

After the blast, wouldn't hundreds of people die in an instant?

This is comparable to divine punishment!

Even though Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng had prepared themselves mentally, they still gasped when they saw the scale of the explosion and the resulting scene.

Even though they had psychological contingency plans.

But the world-destroying scene still terrified them.

With the Qin Army possessing such a terrifying weapon, wouldn't it be even harder for them to rebel and fight the Qin Army in the future?

The Qin Army wouldn't even need to get close; they could use these world-destroying cannons to bombard them from a distance.

Under such world-destroying bombardment, how many people would still have the morale to keep fighting?

Even their commanders were terrified, let alone the ordinary soldiers.

Zhao Fusu's Artillery demonstration was definitely a massive blow to the Anti-Qin forces.

"To think such a lethal weapon exists in this world!"

Li Si, Feng Quji, and General Wang Jian were all stunned.

"If I had this weapon back then, why would I have needed to exhaust my wits using schemes and sowing discord to make the Zhao State collapse from within? I could have just blown open the Zhao capital directly."

General Wang Jian shook his head repeatedly.

He keenly sensed that the birth of such thermal weapons would directly change the course of warfare.

From now on, cold weapons would likely decline.

And these city walls built with massive amounts of gold would also be useless.

No matter how sturdy you build a wall, three thousand six hundred explosive packs could still blast it into collapse!

In a battle between two armies, if one side still held cold weapons like swords and spears while the other possessed thermal weapons, a single round of bombardment could shatter the opposing army.

General Wang Jian lamented once more that if their Qin State had possessed such thermal weapons earlier, conquering the Six Kingdoms would not have been so difficult.

However, Great Qin's path of expansion could not stop yet.

In his mind, General Wang Jian couldn't help but think of the Map of the Whole World released by Zhao Fusu.

Great Qin only occupied a corner of that world map.

The lands occupied by surrounding powers were twice the size of Great Qin.

Great Qin must continue its path of expansion and annex all these surrounding forces first.

General Wang Jian believed that after seeing the world map, the First Emperor must also be thinking about continuing the path of expansion.

"Too terrifying..."

Li Si exclaimed, "Is this still something humanly possible?"

He couldn't help but recall something Zhao Fusu once said: 'Our physical bodies are weak, but technology can help us break through the shackles of the flesh, allowing mortals to wield the power of gods!'

For the first time, Li Si began to take technology so seriously.

Reading a thousand books is not as good as technology advancing a single step.

If technology cannot be eliminated, then it must be vigorously developed.

Otherwise, if you don't develop technology, others will. When that time comes, others will use technology to defeat them.

Li Si really couldn't imagine how a mortal body could withstand such a horrific explosion.

Even city walls were reduced to ruins; if a person were at the center of the explosion, there probably wouldn't even be any flesh or blood left to find!

"Husband, this is too terrifying!"

Wang Xia was horrified.

She instinctively drew closer to Zhao Fusu, her pretty face deathly pale.

Zhao Fusu maintained a calm expression, but on the inside, he was panicking like crazy.

He had set off firecrackers before and even blown up a dog bowl, making his family's Xiao Bai stare at a wall for days.

But such a massive blast—this was his first time setting one off too.

The power was too terrifying.

Even from 1.5 kilometers away, he still felt the deafening noise, the ground shaking constantly, and the shockwave sweeping in like a gale, all of which filled him with fear.

To be honest, he had still underestimated the power of 3,600 explosive packs detonating together.

Had he known, he should have stayed three kilometers away.

"It is indeed terrifying!"

Zhao Fusu suddenly said, "This should give those Nobles of the Six Lands a memory they'll never forget for the rest of their lives."

The Nobles of the Six Lands were dug out of the trenches by the Artillerymen.

They were closest to the center of the explosion, and the massive shockwave had covered the trenches with a vast amount of soil.

The Artillerymen had been prepared, so they quickly climbed out of the soil.

Those Nobles of the Six Lands were in a miserable state.

Many were knocked unconscious on the spot.

Those who weren't knocked out were scared witless.

Their eyes were vacant, unable to focus for a long time.

Their ears throbbed with pain, sounding as if countless bees were buzzing inside.

All of them suffered from some degree of psychological trauma.

It would be hard for them not to have any.

The moment 3,600 explosive packs detonated before their eyes, it felt as if the entire sky had exploded.

That immense power felt as though it would grind their entire being into dust.

They were in utter panic and extreme terror.

At the moment of the massive explosion, they felt like they were going to die.

Fortunately, they were some distance from the epicenter and were hiding in trenches, so they weren't hit by flying debris, but it still dealt a massive blow to their psyche.

Even though the explosion was over, they still found it hard to recover from the massive blast.

The more they thought about the explosion, the more terrified they became.

All the Nobles of the Six Lands looked as if they had lost their souls.

This wasn't an act; they weren't like Zhu Di, feigning madness and eating feces to avoid being stripped of his domain.

Zhao Fusu watched these nobles through his binoculars.

He thought to himself that this should serve as a stern warning to them.

Zhao Fusu wasn't worried about them rebelling.

If they rebelled, he would use Artillery to blast those rebellious nobles.

And then, he would seize their properties.

If one were to talk about the fastest way to get money, it would be to directly plunder their wealth.

A wicked smile appeared on Zhao Fusu's lips.

Today's Artillery demonstration was destined to trigger a massive upheaval in Great Qin.

The onlookers were all horrified by the terror of this era-defining weapon.

This carefully arranged Artillery demonstration by Zhao Fusu would become the talk of the town among the people of Xianyang.

"Prime Minister Father."

"Uncle."

Xiang Yu said despondently to Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng, "Is that something human power can contend with?"

Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng both fell silent.

Even Xiang Yu, who had always been blindly confident in his own strength, had fallen into self-doubt, let alone them.

If they couldn't obtain this kind of lethal weapon used by the Qin Army, it would be nearly impossible to oppose them!
