Douluo: Rebirth Davis, Zhuqing, you calm down

Boom, boom, boom!

Deafening explosions suddenly erupted, and even the floor beneath their feet shook violently.

"It should be about right now, Master Lou Gao, please come in!" Davis said, opening the forging room's large iron door and walking in with Lou Gao.

Even the well-informed Lou Gao was taken aback when he saw the scene before him.

The sturdy iron barrel had been completely shattered, broken into countless pieces scattered on the ground by the explosion.

The iron plate covering the barrel had also been blown off by the violent impact of the explosion, covered in dense cracks, seemingly on the verge of breaking.

Not only was Lou Gao shocked, but Si Long, Si Yu, and Li Hu were also dumbfounded at the sight!

"This, this is…"

Li Hu picked up a piece of the shattered iron barrel, feeling the residual heat on it, his expression changing drastically as he commented:

"What terrifying power! Just a little powder, and it can shatter a sturdy iron barrel after burning! If one were close enough, even a Defense-type Soul Emperor would be injured!"

Li Hu looked at Davis's back, realizing that he truly couldn't see through this First Prince.

These days, Li Hu had felt too many shocks from Davis.

First, there was the battle against the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, where he had a stroke of luck and obtained an External Soul Bone.

Then there was the ten-thousand-year Whale Tendon.

He had assumed Davis was like other pampered young masters, but he didn't expect that after consuming the Whale Tendon, he would break through to the Soul Elder level in just one week.

Following that, he absorbed a ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring, and now he had researched a powder with such immense power.

Looking at Davis's back, Li Hu was very curious.

If he truly became the Star Luo Emperor one day, where would the Star Luo Empire go?

Lou Gao said in shock, "Your Highness, First Prince, what, what exactly is this thing? It actually has such immense power."

Seeing Lou Gao's interested expression, Davis knew he had taken the bait.

Anyone who felt curious or interested was basically not far from falling in.

Davis explained with a smile, "Master Lou Gao, you should have seen this thing before, it's gunpowder!"

"Ah? Gunpowder?" Lou Gao was stunned.

Of course, he knew about gunpowder, but wasn't that for setting off fireworks?

Could it have such power?

"Your Highness, is this really gunpowder? In my impression, gunpowder doesn't seem to have such power."

"Haha, ordinary gunpowder certainly doesn't have such power, but now, after my improvement, this black powder already has the ability to threaten high-level Soul Masters."

After a pause, seeing that Lou Gao hadn't come out of his shock, Davis continued to entice him, "Master has also seen that such a small amount of black powder has the ability to injure a Soul Emperor.

If the dosage of gunpowder is increased, even Soul Saints and Soul Douluos will be killed, and even Titled Douluos may be injured!

The reason I came here this time is to ask Master Lou Gao to create a weapon using black powder that can change the landscape of the Douluo Continent!

I wonder if Master is willing to lend me a hand!"

"Capable of injuring Soul Saints and Soul Douluos… a weapon capable of changing the landscape of the continent."

Lou Gao was immersed in the pie that Davis had drawn, but to be honest, after witnessing the power of black powder, he was indeed deeply interested in it.

As a Divine Craftsman, Lou Gao naturally had his pride.

Today, blacksmiths have a humble status, only on par with ordinary people, not even comparable to those wealthy merchants.

Where would that leave the face of the Blacksmith Association President?

For many years, Lou Gao had wanted to create a weapon powerful enough to threaten Soul Masters, only in this way could he improve the status of blacksmiths, and the situation of the Blacksmith Association would not be so awkward.

And by creating such a powerful weapon, the status of blacksmiths would inevitably rise, and even the Blacksmith Association would transform into a powerful force no weaker than the Seven Sects.

Thinking of this, how could Lou Gao refuse?

He smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, how dare I refuse the First Prince's request? I am willing to lend Your Highness a hand.

However…"

Changing the subject, Lou Gao frowned slightly, looking at the messy forging room, and sighed, "The power of this black powder is so great, to be honest, I don't know what kind of weapon to make it into for a while.

Swords, spears, sabers, halberds, axes, yokes, hooks, forks, shields, and armor are definitely not suitable.

Bows and arrows can be tried, but in this way, it may take a lot of time to create this weapon, and it may even be a waste of effort!"

He couldn't help but think so.

Today, the technology of the Douluo Continent is still stuck in the age of cold weapons, and the only ranged attack weapon is probably bows and crossbows.

"Hehe, Master doesn't need to worry.

The reason I came here is to exchange and discuss some ideas with Master, maybe we can create a powerful weapon?"

Davis smiled, then took out a pre-drawn blueprint from his Soul Guidance Ring.

The blueprint depicted a firearm from his previous life: a hand grenade!

Originally, he wanted to draw cannons and firearms, but later he gave up after thinking about it.

Although the principles of firearms and cannons are simple, it requires extremely high forging skills to manufacture them.

Not to mention a small conical bullet, Davis didn't think that such a small bullet could be created with the blacksmithing technology of this world.

Even with Lou Gao's forging skills, he could successfully create the bullet, but if there was only one, it wouldn't mean much.

Davis needed a large number of bullets, hundreds of thousands, only in this way could he form fire coverage against the enemy in the war.

And Lou Gao was old, he couldn't let him work there every day forging bullets, could he?

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Davis finally chose the hand grenade.

The hand grenade was large, and the principle was relatively simple, with the forging skills of the Blacksmith Association, it should be able to replicate it.

Lou Gao took the forging blueprint of the hand grenade, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes in an instant.

As a Divine Craftsman who had created countless weapons, Lou Gao saw the clues of the hand grenade at a glance.

"So that's it, wonderful! Wonderful! So it can still be used like this, just fill a large amount of black powder in the center, and wrap the periphery with sharp iron pieces.

Finally, add two flint stones to the bottom of the hand grenade, and wrap a fuse around one of the flint stones…

In this way, you only need to quickly pull the fuse, causing the two flint stones to rub against each other to create fire, ignite the gunpowder, and finally throw it out!"

"The explosive force of the gunpowder is enough to blow the surrounding iron pieces away, thereby killing the enemy!

Wonderful! I didn't expect there to be such a weapon in the world, Your Highness, First Prince, you are really a genius!"
