Chapter 730: Shocking Mohist Mechanical Creation
"General, this is the picture of 'Flying Thunder God'."

Liu Hui Niang took out a roll of drawings from her sleeve and slowly unfolded it. The drawing detailed the structure and usage of the Flying Divine Thunder.

Wu Qi took the blueprint and saw that it was densely packed with details clearly marked, and he couldn't help but marvel at it.

"This mine is made of hard wood and equipped with thick rope pedals. It requires 25 strong soldiers to operate it, 5 of whom are responsible for replacing the thunder, and 20 for pedaling the pole. The thunder is made of cast iron and is shaped like a watermelon. It contains poisonous smoke, divine fire and 36 small thunders. The small thunders contain gunpowder and lead bullets. Once triggered, the thunder will roar and the men and horses will be crushed into dust!"

Liu Hui Niang spoke slowly and her tone revealed her pride in this work.

"What are the 'steel wheel fire cabinet' and the 'underwater rapid-fire cannon'?"

Wu Qi was shocked after hearing this. If such a weapon could really be used on the battlefield, why would the Yellow Turbans not be defeated? He hurriedly asked.

"The 'Steel Wheel Fire Box' is a type of mine. It is a steel box with gunpowder and agate inside. When it is triggered by a mechanism, sparks fly and the gunpowder burns. It is incredibly powerful."

"As for the 'underwater chain gun', it was designed specifically for naval warfare. There are multiple doors inside the gun, and each time a lead bullet is loaded, the gun muzzle is sealed with asphalt after the line is passed through, so it will not get wet in water. Once the mechanism is moved, the gun bullets will be fired continuously, like beads on the bottom of the water, hence the name chain gun."

Liu Hui Niang smiled slightly and continued to explain.

"General Wu, the three mechanical creations have been completed. Are you willing to go to the training ground with Hui Niang to witness their power with your own eyes?"

Then there was a hint of uncontrollable excitement in Liu Hui Niang's words, and her eyes were shining, as if she had foreseen the shocking scene that was about to come.

When Wu Qi heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He stood up and strode out of the tent, as if at this moment, all his worries and pressures were temporarily thrown behind him.

Now he had a hunch that these three mechanical creations might be the key to his solution to the current predicament and the chance for him to prove himself and become famous.

The group arrived at the parade ground, which was empty and quiet, with only the breeze blowing gently, making the flags flutter.

Liu Hui Niang stood in the center of the parade ground. Behind her, three mechanical creations lay there quietly, waiting for their debut.

"First, let the general see the power of the 'Flying Thunder'."

As Liu Hui Niang spoke, she walked to the Flying Divine Thunder and began to operate it skillfully.

She commanded the soldiers to set up the Flying Thunder on a special wooden frame, and then adjusted the angle to ensure that it could accurately shoot at the intended target.

Following an order, the soldiers began to step on the pedals hard, and the mechanism inside the Flying Thunder slowly started up, making a low buzzing sound.

Suddenly, a loud bang broke through the sky, and the Flying Divine Thunder rose into the sky like a roaring fire dragon, and then exploded in the air, releasing dazzling flames and deafening roars.

For a moment, the parade ground seemed to be illuminated by flames, with smoke and dust rising, as if one was really on a battlefield.

Wu Qi stood aside, staring at this scene in amazement. He had heard among the military strategists about some of the powerful mechanical creations of the Mohist school that had the power to destroy the world.

But when I actually witnessed such a shocking scene, I still felt a little nervous.

Because the power of this round of volleys is somewhat dispersed, if a god-level warrior is wrapped in internal energy, he may not be able to hurt them.

However, its killing power against those captain-level Gangqi warriors or ordinary soldiers is absolutely devastating.

He could already imagine how powerful and shocking such a weapon would be if used on the battlefield.

"Next, it's 'Steel Wheel Fire Chest'."

Liu Huiniang's voice sounded again, and she walked to the steel wheel fire cabinet and began to introduce it. She told Wu Qi that this kind of mine needed to be buried on the road that the enemy must pass through. Once the enemy triggered the mechanism, it would cause an explosion and cause huge damage.

In order to demonstrate the power of the steel wheel fire cabinet, Liu Hui Niang specially asked someone to make a simulated trigger device.

She pressed the button on the device, and suddenly sparks flew from inside the steel wheel fire cabinet, followed by a loud bang, and flames and smoke instantly filled the air.

Wu Qi felt the vibration under his feet and gained a deeper understanding of the power of this weapon.

Finally, it was the turn of the “Underwater Rapid Fire”.

Liu Hui Niang had a simple pool built on the training ground, and then put the underwater rapid-fire gun into the water.

She explained that the gun was designed specifically for naval warfare and was able to fire shells underwater to inflict continuous blows on enemy ships.

Following Liu Hui Niang's operation, the underwater rapid-fire cannon began to fire.

I saw shells being fired continuously from the muzzle, each shell splashed on the water surface and then accurately hit the designated target.

Wu Qi looked at these three mechanical creations with a hint of amazement in his eyes. Such weapons would undoubtedly play a huge role in naval battles.

After the demonstration, Wu Qi stood there, unable to come back to his senses for a long time, looking at Liu Hui Niang with eyes full of appreciation and admiration.

He knew that he had really found a treasure this time. Liu Hui Niang and her mechanical creations would definitely be his greatest help in this war.

"Miss Liu, you are truly a genius! Each of these three mechanical creations is a masterpiece."

"I dare say that as long as they can be used on the battlefield, we will be able to defeat the enemy this time!"

Wu Qi looked at Liu Hui Niang and couldn't help but admire her.

Liu Hui Niang smiled modestly. Although her mechanical creations were indeed ingenious, their power was not that exaggerated. They were of no use to the real generals and gods of war.

Moreover, the real battlefield is far more complicated than this parade ground. Soon after her mechanical creations appeared on the battlefield, military leaders like Wu Qi and Sun Bin were able to think of countermeasures quickly.

At the very least, the impact of these mechanical creations could be minimized before this type of gunpowder technology was updated to the modern times of Su Ye's previous life.

The power and practicality of firearms are far inferior to ordinary bows and arrows or even cold weapons.

In Su Ye's previous life, firearms officially suppressed cold weapons during the Napoleonic era, that is, the 17th century, when field artillery appeared.

Napoleon brought firearms to the fore in warfare through innovative tactics and weaponry, such as the use of field guns and horse artillery.

And through Napoleon's military reforms and tactical innovations, the French army was able to sweep across Europe. The importance of firearms was fully demonstrated during this period.

When the Ming Dynasty was still using matchlock guns, firearms could not have an overwhelming advantage over cold weapons.

In that era, artillery dominated the battlefield. The red cannon (changed to red-coated cannon in the Qing Dynasty) imported from Portugal was not very successfully imitated. It weighed more than twice as much as the one produced in Portugal and could only be placed on the city walls for defense. It was too heavy to be pulled out for field battles.

By the time of Napoleon, the concentrated use of flintlock rifles, line infantry, and light cavalry in conjunction with artillery was able to crush cold weapons.

When rifles and machine guns came out, the British in colonial times usually had only a few hundred people fighting against thousands or tens of thousands of African natives in Africa.
