The next day, Xia Lun went to a weapons testing ground outside Whitewash City and watched the entire test of the Star Ore Explosives.
The destructive power of the Star Ore Explosives was astonishing. A tiny amount could completely demolish a three-story reinforced-concrete building. Even its sturdy steel framework would be snapped by the blast's instantaneous shock wave.
Even Xia Lun, who was used to large explosions, could not help being surprised after watching the test.
The Star Ore Explosives were far beyond the scale of an infantry weapon. Their destructive power was almost comparable to an aerial bomb.
After the explosion, there was no acrid smell of gunpowder or burning. Even the testing ground's original smells had vanished, as though the blast had annihilated them too.
The temperature and pressure had been so high that bits of glass appeared among the sand and gravel. Brilliant azure flecks drifted through the lingering flames like fireflies.
"Lord Xia Lun, are you satisfied with the results?" The man in charge of development was a doctoral student in his early thirties who had yet to graduate from Whitewash University.
He was still young, but his hairline had already retreated to the top of his head. One look at him, and anyone could tell he was a seasoned, trustworthy researcher.
"Very satisfied." Xia Lun could not help applauding. "Do you have any prototypes left? I want them now."
As the Scenario rounds increased, their difficulty rose with them. And as they grew harder, conventional firearms were gradually beginning to fall short.
But that did not mean conventional weapons were useless. They simply lacked a large enough explosive yield. The Star Ore Explosives had enough to make a qualitative difference!
By Xia Lun's estimate, with planning and the element of surprise, blowing up a Fourfold
