Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 308 - 306: The Advent of Hand Grenades

Upon hearing that Lin Yi had more than 1000 specifics, the young Emperor got excited instantly.

"Moreover, the daily production capacity exceeds 1000. In three months, equipping every soldier with five of these devices should pose no problem."

The Emperor was already thrilled, but now, with Lin Yi’s further remarks, she was momentarily stunned on the spot.

What had she heard?

She actually heard that Lin Yi was going to provide each soldier with five such powerful devices.

This made her momentarily disbelieve her own ears.

Indeed, if each man could have five, that would be an absolutely terrifying number.

It’s no exaggeration to say that if it could really be achieved, she was confident she could march these tens of thousands straight to the Royal Court of Lakers.

"Are you teasing me? Can it really be achieved?"

Seeing the Emperor’s skeptical expression, Lin Yi helplessly rolled his eyes.

"We’ve borne arms together before. Would I lie to you?"

Hearing Lin Yi’s flippant words, the already excited Emperor couldn’t help but glare at him.

This scoundrel always says anything he wants, without considering the situation, just spouting nonsense.

Hadn’t he seen that Ying Yi was already blushing at such remarks at this very moment?

However, in this moment, the young Emperor was so astounded by these powerful iron clumps that she ignored Lin Yi’s interruption.

"Good, very good, such great power, what are these things called?"

Upon hearing the Emperor’s question, Lin Yi blurted out without thinking:

"They are called Hand Grenades."

However, upon hearing this, the young Emperor frowned and then shook her head, denying Lin Yi’s term:

"Hand Grenade? Did you come up with this name?

The name is too crude for such a powerful treasure.

No, this name is too unsophisticated; I must bestow a new one upon it."

This really confused Lin Yi; it was just a Hand Grenade, was there really a need to rename it?

But at this moment, the Emperor was already deep in thought, and after a moment, her eyes brightened and she clapped her hands, saying to Lin Yi:

"Given its compact size that fits in the hand and unleashes the force of thunder, why not call it a ’Thunder Bomb’?

Lin Yi nearly choked on that comment.

Internally, he couldn’t help but complain:

"Well, your majesty, you really know how to name things. You’ve just renamed it to what it originally was."

Of course, he also blamed himself since he had blurted out the term Hand Grenade without mentioning ’Thunder Bomb.’

If he had initially called it ’Thunder Bomb,’ maybe the Emperor wouldn’t have renamed it.

Otherwise, she might have ended up calling it some absurd name like ’Divine Thunder God Bomb.’

Thinking of such a preposterous name, he shuddered.

Thankfully, it wasn’t named that.

If it had been called ’Divine Thunder God Bomb,’ every time he wanted to use it in battle, he would have to shout, "Behold the Divine Thunder God Bomb."

Goodness, just thinking about it made him want to cringe.

Thankfully, her majesty directly chose the name ’Thunder Bomb,’ which was indeed apt.

"Who else knows about this?

This Thunder Bomb is a secret weapon of our great You Country; it must not be disclosed to anyone.

Everyone aware of this must be placed under strict surveillance, not allowed any contact with outsiders!

Nor should this be disclosed to any irrelevant outsiders."

Lin Yi nodded in agreement, especially considering that this matter should absolutely not be divulged, particularly not to the princes.

After all, they each harbored their own schemes, each aiming to overthrow the young Emperor and seize the throne for themselves.

If they knew about this weapon, they might harbor sinister intentions.

What could those intentions be? It isn’t hard to guess—they might undermine or forcibly steal people!

Steal the craftsman who made this Thunder Bomb and lure him to their camp—wouldn’t that enhance their strength?

It’s no exaggeration to say that if the Thunder Bomb fell into their hands, the young Emperor would stand no chance.

Whether it be the Fourth Prince or the Sixth Prince, they would surely rebel with possession of the Thunder Bomb—it’s undeniable.

After all, this kind of mighty weapon could definitely support any army towards unparalleled conquest.

Once their army possessed this Thunder Bomb, the Emperor’s trusted aides would be utterly powerless.

It’s no exaggeration to say that even the most formidable foreign cavalry would have to concede defeat upon encountering the Thunder Bomb.

Not to mention this weapon’s formidable power, just the earth-shattering explosion alone would be enough to scare their horses into fleeing in all directions on the battlefield, completely crippling their combat capabilities.

That’s precisely why the young Emperor valued this Thunder Bomb so highly.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, the Hand Grenade Workshop is exceedingly covert, unknown even within Nanshan Base, only those who work there are privy to it."

Hearing this, the young Emperor nodded with satisfaction:

"Very well, then. Let’s encircle everyone involved in the production and defense of the Thunder Bomb, not allowing them contact with the outside world."

Lin Yi felt somewhat helpless at this declaration; he never expected the young Emperor to be so stern as to restrict personal freedoms.

But considering this was an ancient society, such measures were all too common.

In the Emperor’s eyes, those craftsmen were merely slaves, just mere servants.

Indeed, that’s the current state of affairs, the norm within society today. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

"There’s no need to restrict personal freedoms; I will handle everything appropriately, so Your Majesty need not worry.

Moreover, keeping this a secret won’t be easy.

For instance, once distributed to the soldiers below, it will inevitably leak out.

I believe that as soon as we begin distribution here, the Fourth Prince and Sixth Prince will have them in their hands the very next moment."

Lin Yi wasn’t unreasonable, and this immediately caused the Emperor to furrow her brow.

Indeed, considering the Left Martial Guard, for instance, previously belonged to the Fourth Prince.

It’s unknown how many of his spies might still be among them.

And for the Fourth and Sixth Princes to obtain the Thunder Bomb was only a matter of time.

"The guards at the Hand Grenade Workshop must be thoroughly vetted to prevent any spies from infiltrating, ensuring no craftsman is taken by others."
