Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 245 - 243 Your Majesty’s Oral Decree

After checking the mannequins within a five-meter radius, Lin Yi shifted his gaze to those within a ten-meter radius.

However, this inspection also took him by surprise.

Within this ten-meter range, or rather the ten-step range at that time, these Armor were still studded with many iron nails and shards.

Moreover, the depth of penetration was enough to cause injury or even disability, and the damage capability at this distance was still very strong.

A more important point was the blast radius of the device, which began to spread outward in a circle.

That is to say, within this ten-step range, the attack occurred indiscriminately.

Of course, Lin Yi had considered this before.

After all, the Deputy General was lying at a distance more than 30 steps away and still had two iron nails embedded in his back.

This was enough to demonstrate that the explosive’s range could radiate within a 30-meter radius.

Finally, after a thorough inspection, it was indeed the case; at a distance of 30 steps, several more iron nails were found embedded.

The Iron Armor was an exception; it only had several deep indentations on it but was not penetrated.

Seeing this, Lin Yi could confirm that the blast range of the device exceeded 30 steps.

However, the effective range for leather armor was only about 20 steps, and at 30 steps, it could barely breach Cloth Armor’s defense.

As for iron and leather armor, the intensity of the damage was significantly reduced. Unless it happened to hit critical areas like the eyes, causing a fatal injury would be difficult.

Of course, such a result was already quite satisfactory and had exceeded his expectations.

He had not anticipated that the Landmine he developed currently would have such powerful lethality.

If this device were indeed used on the battlefield, the effect would undoubtedly be unexpected.

Moreover, this kind of device was currently nonexistent; no troop had ever encountered it.

Not to mention the extent of its lethal radius, the ear-splitting noise it produced alone was enough to deter the enemy’s forces and horses; it is believed that the horses would likely scatter upon hearing such a noise.

While Lin Yi was conducting his inspections, the surrounding Soldiers could not help but gasp repeatedly.

After all, they could clearly see the iron nails on the Armor.

If this device were to be lodged in their bodies, what good outcome could they expect?

"Everyone listen, immediately disperse and search for shrapnel!

Remember, after finding the shrapnel, do not bring it here; mark the spot for me right there."

Following Lin Yi’s command, everyone began to act, spreading out to search for traces of the shrapnel.

Although the actual lethal range of the device had been confirmed to be around 30 steps,

Lin Yi also wanted to see how far the shrapnel could be propelled.

After a thorough, carpet-style search by these people, significant findings were soon reported, as the location of shrapnel was occasionally updated.

Approximately two quarters later, no further reports on the location of shrapnel came through.

But when Lin Yi looked towards the furthest piece of shrapnel, he couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

Good heavens, that distance, at a preliminary estimate, must be at least 300 meters.

The distribution of the other shrapnel was found almost entirely within a circular radius of about 150 meters.

Thus, the explosive data of this Landmine was thoroughly understood by him, which also aids Lin Yi in further modifications.

Just as Lin Yi was recording the data, the Soldiers around him were utterly horrified.

Especially when looking at the piece of shrapnel 300 steps away, they couldn’t help but shiver collectively.

If it weren’t for the superior demanding them to retreat to about 300 meters away, their fate would definitely be similar to that of the Deputy General.

Thinking of the Deputy General with several iron nails in his back, and thinking of the blood pouring out, they shivered collectively.

They had never imagined that such a small black lump could have such powerful force and lethality, and even produce such a thunderous noise.

Seeing that the data collection was almost complete here, as for the other one, Lin Yi had no plans to detonate it.

After all, this experiment alone was sufficient.

Thus, Lin Yi waved his hand grandly, ordering everyone to return and telling them to bury today’s events in their hearts, not to speak to anyone; otherwise, they would face military law.

These people naturally understood the gravity of this incident, thus they knew precisely what this matter entailed.

However, at this moment, when they looked at Lin Yi, their gazes carried an indescribable meaning.

Once everyone had returned to their respective workshops, Lin Yi directly took the Landmine to his room.

He carefully placed it behind the treasure shelf behind his desk.

Although this device, compared to the various bottles, jars, and books, seemed utterly out of place.

However, it didn’t matter as long as Lin Yi liked it.

Of course, for safety reasons, he had already emptied the powder from the Landmine and stored it separately.

Then, Lin Yi buried his head at the desk and picked up the charcoal pencil prepared by his side, starting to sketch.

After all, Lin Yi was not accustomed to using the traditional brush pen.

Therefore, Lin Yi had specially commissioned this bespoke charcoal pencil.

Thus, this item was no different from modern pencils.

These points are naturally not the focus; the focus is that he had now begun to sketch the blueprint for a simplified version of the Landmine.

While the Landmine had sufficient lethal power, it had one problem: the size was simply too large.

If it were to be used as a mine, it might be feasible, but as a Hand Grenade, it would be somewhat suboptimal.

Although he couldn’t produce the modern frag Grenade, creating a stick Grenade was perfectly feasible.

As for the fuse, it couldn’t entirely rely on Flint to light.

He needed to figure out how to research the modern pull-wire Hand Grenade.

However, while he was engrossed in sketching various diagrams at the desk,

Suddenly, a report came from outside the door:

"Lord Lin Yi, His Majesty has sent a royal edict, and the messenger is waiting out front."
