Chapter 325: Discovery
Chapter 325
"Black Powder Technique?"
"Should?"
As soon as Wang Ziming's voice fell, the voices of Zuo Idiot and Deng Si'er were heard together, but it was obvious that the focus of the two was not the same.
Seeing this, the prince was just a little stunned, but after thinking about it, he understood the reason.
Come to think of it, although Zuo Idiot has heard of the art of alchemy, he must not know the mystery, and I am afraid that what he knows is limited to what ordinary people know, and it is natural that he does not know the 'art of black powder'.
And Deng Si'er is different from Zuo Idiot, he is the personal disciple of the alchemy master Mo Lidao, although the time is still short, but the study during this time, plus the fact that Deng Si'er can also refine some good quality pills, shows that Deng Si'er must have already entered the door of medicine refining, and everything he knows and feels and experiences must be more than Zuo Idiot.
Seeing that the two of them spoke together, Zuo Idiot and Deng Si'er couldn't help but glance at each other, but it was Deng Si'er who asked first:
"You don't know the art of black powder?"
Zuo Idiot nodded and said:
"I don't know. The so-called 'black powder technique' is ...... in the end"
Wang Ziming replied at this time:
"It's understandable that this brother doesn't know, although I don't know who passed down this 'black powder' technique, but it has a wide range of uses. For example, our most common fireworks are made of this black powder. ”
"This ...... Can it be refined? Hearing this, Zuo Idiot glanced at the exploded medicine furnace and asked hesitantly.
Wang Ziming shook his head and said:
"No, it's very easy to prepare black powder. However, some powders can be mixed together and ignited with an open flame to give them an effect. It really doesn't need to be put into a furnace for refining. ”
Hearing this, the left idiot pondered for a moment. Raising his eyebrows and frowning, he asked:
"I don't know Doctor Wang, but I think that this black powder technique is the same as the fire and thunder used by the Huiqiang army on the battlefield before. Are there any similarities? ”
But I heard Deng Si'er interject at this time:
"What can be the resemblance?"
Zuo Idiot turned his head to look at Deng Si'er, and Deng Si'er continued:
"You don't know, that black powder is just a mixture of several powders, wrapped in the kind of paper skin on the firecracker, and added to a lead, as long as the lead is lit, it will burst and make a sound. But fire and thunder are different, haven't you seen the appearance of fire and thunder? Not to mention the difference in appearance, just that kind of power. It's not something that ordinary firecrackers can compare. Moreover, I think, even Mo Lidao doesn't know how that fire and thunder are made. ”
When Zuo Idiot heard this, he turned his head to look at Wang Ziming, and Wang Ziming saw that Zuo Idiot was still a little puzzled, so he continued Deng Si'er's words and explained:
"This brother, the little junior brother is right. Indeed it is. I just listened to what the little junior brother said, you should have seen fire and thunder, right? Although the black powder used in fire thunder and firecrackers is detonated by igniting the fuse, the principle is very different. The ends of the firecracker are not sealed. It was just a mud block at the ends to prevent the powder from leaking out, but unlike the Fire Thunder, it was a ball-like object that was sealed and couldn't even get air. What is the mystery in it, I have only learned it lightly. I really don't know. ”
Zuo Idiot combined what Deng Si'er and Wang Ziming said, and roughly understood what they meant. But after thinking about it, he asked:
"The reason why Doctor Wang knows the appearance of the fire and thunder is because the sergeants in the army who were injured by the fire and thunder told each other?"
Wang Ziming shook his head and said:
"No, it's not."
"So how do you know? If you don't listen to the soldiers, you can't be on the battlefield! Deng Si'er was immediately surprised when he heard this.
Wang Ziming stretched out his hand and pointed to the corner of the only remaining ancient book in Zuo's hand, and said:
"The reason why I know the appearance of fire and thunder is that I saw it in that ancient book."
Hearing this, Zuo Idiot looked down at the fragment of the ancient book in Yan's hand, and looked up at Wang Ziming.
Zuo Idiot still hasn't picked up his hat at the moment, but Wang Ziming seems to feel that Zuo Idiot is looking at him with incomprehension at this moment, and there is a trace of ...... Look at.
Although he didn't know why, he still made Wang Ziming feel a little palpitated, and Wang Ziming paused and said:
"That's right, it's this ancient book. In addition to the black powder technique recorded above, the appearance of fire and thunder is also marked, but the method of making it is complicated, and I can't understand it. But in the current situation, the fire and thunder in the hands of the Huiqiang people are indeed not good for our army, and I think of any way to resolve this crisis, so I want to try it first, but ...... Several attempts, but none of them succeeded. ”
Hearing this, Zuo Idiot nodded, but didn't say anything, just lowered his head slightly and didn't know what he was thinking.
But I heard Deng Si'er suddenly shout at this time:
"By the way, since it is an ancient book, and it records black powder and fire thunder, does that mean that this fire thunder was made by the people of Wenyue Kingdom?"
When Zuo Idiot heard this, even though he raised his head to look at Deng Si'er, he saw Deng Si'er asking at Wang Ziming:
"Senior brother, senior brother, in addition to the refining method of fire and thunder recorded in the ancient books, what else does it say?"
Wang Ziming frowned and thought for a moment, then said:
"The pages are not thick, and there are only these two kinds of records, and the others, although they are written some, are also the mood of the person who wrote the book, and it should be of little use."
Deng Si'er couldn't help but muttered with some disappointment when he heard this:
"How so? I thought I could know how these fire thunders came from this ancient book! It seems that it still makes me happy in vain. ”
Wang Ziming didn't hear it very clearly, so he looked at Zuo Idiot suspiciously, but he couldn't see what the expression was on Zuo Idiot's face, so he turned to Deng Si'er and asked:
"Little junior brother, what were you talking about just now?"
Deng Si'er looked up at Wang Ziming and replied:
"Senior Brother Wang, let's not hide it, we have been suspecting from the beginning, where did the Huiqiang people use this fire thunder on the battlefield come from, check and check, have no clue, very distressed and confused, just heard you say that this ancient book actually records the production method of fire thunder, and thought there could be any clues."
Wang Ziming nodded and said:
"I see, but, it's also very ashamed, I used to make the fire thunder according to the ancient records, but there was no success, although I still remember some content, but to say the specific production methods and steps of the fire thunder, it is difficult. It seems that I really blame me for accidentally destroying this ancient book. ”
Deng Si'er sighed when she heard this, so she had to give up.
Whether it is an ancient book or Wang Ziming can remember the refining method and steps of fire thunder, there is one of the two, although they don't know where the source of fire and thunder is, but they can also make fire thunder, and they may be able to win more on the battlefield.
But now......
Zuo was silent and lowered his head slightly, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little low.
Seeing this, the prince felt a little guilty in his heart, and couldn't help but lower his head, but the next moment he suddenly raised his head and said to the two people in front of him:
"That's right, that fire and thunder is only available to the Wenyue Imperial Family!!" (To be continued.) )
