With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

"We haven't changed anyone, we've just added someone to cook." Bei Chenyan didn't care about these small things. "Try it, and if you like it, he can cook for you from now on."

Nangong Wu stopped talking and tried to eat as much as possible so that he wouldn't bother her again.

The two finished their meal quietly. As Bei Chenyan put the remaining food back into the food box, he asked her:

"Are the three children awake yet?"

Knowing that he wanted to see the children, Nangong Wu moved the three children out of the space.

Bei Chenyan took the two food boxes outside the door, and when he came back, he saw that the three little ones were all asleep again.

"He can really sleep." He felt that every time he went to see his child, he was sleeping twice out of four times.

Nangong Wu was speechless. "A baby who is not even two months old needs to sleep for at least eight hours a day and night."

"Then let's wait until they wake up before we hold them!" Bei Chenyan now knows Xi'er's temperament; if she hasn't had enough sleep, she'll keep fussing and is very difficult to soothe.

Nangong Wu returned the child to her spatial dimension, sat down at the table, and asked, "What did your people find out about last night?"

"News has spread from the Eastern Jin court that the King of Wu suspects you of being behind it." Bei Chenyan smiled slightly.

"Your fame has spread far and wide. The entire capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is plastered with your portrait, for which a large reward is offered. This inn has already been searched three times today."

"Oh? How much am I worth in the eyes of the Eastern Jin Emperor?" Nangong Wu asked curiously.

"One hundred thousand taels of gold." Bei Chenyan laughed again. "It seems the Eastern Jin Emperor still underestimates you a bit."

"Ten thousand taels of gold! I'm only worth ten thousand taels of gold? Fine!" Nangong Wu didn't care. "But this is fine too."

Even if the whole world knew, they couldn't do anything to her.

"The Eastern Jin emperors were ambitious and launched countless wars against the Western Yan over the past century, leading to constant conflicts and contradictions, which brought suffering to the people of both countries."

This time, I will punish them thoroughly. The blood debt of murdering my mother is far more than just confiscating their treasury; the entire Eastern Jin imperial family must be buried with her.

"My men have received information that the Crown Prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has recruited a capable person who has created a powerful weapon, similar to your bomb."

Bei Chenyan opened a drawer and took out a spherical object that looked like a sea urchin, was completely black, and had its surface covered with reverse spines.

When Nangong Wu saw the object, her expression changed slightly. "Black glazed fire caltrop."

"Black glazed fire caltrop? So you do recognize this after all." Bei Chenyan looked at her with a deep gaze.

"How did you get this?" Nangong Wu took the black glazed fire caltrop and examined it.

It is indeed a caltrop, an explosive firearm from ancient times, and one of the earliest prototypes of bombs or grenades.

She was now certain that the people who made these fire caltrops were also from that world.

The core structure of a fire caltrop is: a ball of gunpowder wrapped around a sharp object such as a blade or triangular iron caltrop, and covered with paper, miscellaneous medicines, and a porcelain shell.

But how did something like this end up here?

Could it be that someone else, like her, has traveled here?

The more Nangong Wu thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

If her soul could travel here, so can anyone else's.

"It was taken from the Eastern Jin Dynasty's Armory Bureau. There were my people inside. It took a lot of effort to get this." Bei Chenyan looked at the fire caltrops, a dark glint in his eyes.

"According to our people, that person was brought back by the Crown Prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty during his inspection tour. After this thing was made, they tried to blow it up, and the resulting explosion was quite powerful."

If the Eastern Jin Dynasty were to mass-produce this weapon and deploy it on the battlefield, no amount of soldiers would be enough to satisfy their killing prowess.

"No wonder the Eastern Jin emperor increased taxes to wage war; so this is what they have." Nangong Wu sneered disdainfully. "I'll go kill him and blow up the Bureau of Armory while I'm at it."

She absolutely could not allow the Eastern Jin Dynasty to have the resources to wage war again.

"Nangong Wu, since you know about this thing, can you tell me how it is made?" Bei Chenyan asked.

"Actually, this kind of caltrop is not difficult to make." Nangong Wu felt it wouldn't hurt to tell him how to make it.

The human brain is incredibly intelligent and cannot remain stagnant forever. As civilization evolves, someone will eventually be able to create such a simple and crude bomb.

"Don't you have gunpowder here for making signal flares?"

"Yes, and then?" Bei Chenyan's eyes lit up.

"The formula for gunpowder is just saltpeter, sulfur, and coarse charcoal powder, which you all know. Some tung oil, wax, and lacquer are added to achieve the effect of arson."

The outer shell is mostly made of porcelain, but this type…” Nangong Wu placed the black-glazed caltrop on the table and explained its structure to him:

"This is a bomb that primarily burns and produces smoke. It has a hollow chamber inside, and the high temperature and dense smoke generated by combustion detonate it."

As for the inside of this ball, it is filled with gunpowder, small iron blocks, and sharp iron pieces. It can be thrown by hand or launched by a catapult, and has the combined effects of explosion and shrapnel damage. Some of them can also release poison gas.

Just as you said, it also has considerable destructive power after detonation.

"Hearing you say that, the explosive power of this kind of caltrop fireball is far inferior to the one you used." Bei Chenyan took out an egg-shaped grenade, which was given to him by Nangong Wu.

"Naturally, the recipe is different." Nangong Wu shook her head. "This kind of caltrop fireball focuses on combustion. After it explodes, the sharp objects inside can injure people."

The explosives I used were "molecular-level explosions," releasing energy instantaneously during supersonic bombardment.

"A molecular-level explosion? Is it the instantaneous release of energy during a supersonic bombardment?" Bei Chenyan seemed to understand, but not quite. "What is a molecule?"

"I won't tell you the principle behind it. Even if I did, you wouldn't be able to find the raw materials to make it," Nangong Wu said.

Trinitrotoluene is a chemically synthesized product that requires a nitration reaction. This requires a mixture of concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid to treat the toluene. This technology simply doesn't exist here, and there is no such thing as toluene (TNT).

"Alright!" Although Bei Chenyan didn't understand what she was saying, there was one thing he knew.

The things she used weren't divine artifacts; they were things that humans could make, but they just lacked the raw materials.

"Since you have people in the Armory, keep a close eye on that person's whereabouts. I'm going to kill him," Nangong Wu said.

"Our people haven't seen that person." Bei Chenyan shook his head. "It's said that he lives in the Eastern Palace. The Crown Prince of Eastern Jin values ​​him highly and protects him very well, probably to prevent him from being killed!"
