Suddenly, Xue Qing even found some bead-like gunpowder particles like BB bullets. Xue Qing was surprised: "Why do you want to make it beaded?" ”

Yuan Zhouzi said: "Jin Dan, of course if this is the case, hehe, in fact, after trying, one or two particles of different shapes are not as good as one or two pill flames like this, and I don't know what the truth is." ”

Maybe there is some scientific basis for this thing, it should be that the gap inside increases the combustion index or something. For example, if a piece of wood is thrown into the fire, there is a gap between each other, and the hot gas flame is circulating, the bigger the fire, but you throw a pile of sawn wood into it, then ...... The firepower is only enough for the people of Sichuan to smoke sausages and bacon......

Yuan Zhouzi said: "These balls are all hand-rubbed, so they are relatively round, but the number is much less, the ones over there are all wet and ground with water and then condensed into lumps, and then broken, and the ones here are ground with water and poured into the mold, and the number is also very small." ”

Xue Qing vaguely remembered a relatively simple method: "In this way, break the gunpowder that has condensed into lumps, and then put it in a wooden barrel, shake it vigorously, you can get pills, and the remaining powder can be added with water and reused." What do you think. ”

Yuan Zhouzi instructed a priest to take a wooden barrel, smashed a piece of gunpowder by himself, put it in and shook it a few times, took it out and saw that the edges and corners were rounded, and it was estimated that it would be round if he shook it again.

Following Xue Qing's instructions, the warlocks used the ratio of 7:15:15 as the benchmark, and after trial and error, slightly increased the ratio of saltpeter to 70%, and decreased the ratio of sulfur to 10%. Although I don't understand it very well, I grind it over and over again according to what Xueqing said. The end result is the finished horse.

Xue Qing was dazzled as the warlocks experimented with various proportions of recipes on the big rocks by the stream, and the sound of gunpowder burning one after another. Bursts of smoke rose from the air.

Xue Qing frowned and fanned the pungent smell of gunsmoke with her hand, which felt similar to setting off firecrackers during the New Year, Xue Qing asked, "This palace can't see much difference." ”

Yuan Zhouzi said: "Every time we test, we use the same amount of medicine, spread out the same area, let's look at the height of the flames, as well as the amount of smoke, and the burning marks left on the stone slab to determine the medicinal power, just look at the more." ”

Xue Qing pointed to the round gunpowder particles in front of her and said, "This is the best batch at the moment?" ”

Yuan Zhouzi nodded: "That's right, but Your Highness, the old man still doesn't understand the function of this medicine, otherwise you can point out, how to take this medicine, but according to the old man's eyes, this firepower is so fierce that it is like a thunderbolt fire." It must be stronger than Samadhi, if it is the critical time of alchemy, add this fire, tsk, there is a thunderbolt to help. Do more with less. ”

Virtue, either want to eat gunpowder, or want to throw gunpowder into the alchemy furnace to burn, which of the two is more dead, Xue Qing really can't imagine. Gunpowder making is such a dangerous job, don't think it's so magical to make tofu, it's okay, and eat it, it's really worthy of being born in grinding tofu.

Xue Qing asked hesitantly, "Shouldn't you have tasted this yet...... This one...... Elixir? ”

Yuan Zhouzi smiled shyly: "I want to eat it, it is our duty to test the medicine for the master, but the function is not clear, and the usage is not clear, so I didn't dare to try it, whether Your Highness swallowed this thing directly, or took it with wine, or ......"

Xue Qing waved her hand: "Come on, this palace will let you see how this thing is eaten in a while." Give you a wake-up call, staring at it for a while, and looking at the miraculous effect of this golden pill. ”

Huo Quzhi and Huo Guang ran over from a distance, and Hou Ye shouted: "Xue, are you cooking, I saw the fire from afar, but unfortunately I didn't get a fish for half a day." ”

Xue Qingyin smiled: "That's right, I'll give you a big dish later." ”

Xue Qing rolled up her sleeves and commanded Zhang Quandan and a few people to get busy, everyone found a lot of things, all of which were put on the wooden platform, Xue Qing pondered, and poured two catties of gunpowder particles into a clay pot, and threw a few small nails left over from the wooden house they built, and smashed a clay pot, knocked the pieces into small pieces, and threw them all into the jar, used a long hemp rope soaked in gunpowder juice as a fuse, and covered the lid of the clay pot, this thing will not explode, I lifted the lid and drained most of my strength, and after thinking about it, I tied it firmly with a rope. Turn it upside down on the ground with the lid facing down, so it should be able to resist and create a confined space.

What to use to test the lethality is a difficult problem, you can't use real people, and the guards can't use dummies for training, that thing can be firmly pierced into it when practicing archery. Practice immediate assassination, swordsmanship and slashing, you can also see obvious results, I'm afraid that this thing has no effect, I can only see a wave of qi overturned to the ground, after all, there are so many gaps in the straw man and it is relatively tough.

It's not reliable to put in the house, and you can't see the effect. After thinking about it, I still brought four sheep, nailed a stake to the ground, and put the rope short, so that the four sheep surrounded the land mine, less than a meter apart. I'm sorry, little sheep, I'm going to be killed and eaten anyway, and it can also reduce the workload of the cook. Go to heaven, don't be a sheep in the next life. If you want to be happy, you should be happy.

Everyone was confused, and even Yuan Zhouzi wondered if this princess should want to burn wool. Or do you want to roast four sheep with Jindan? No, no matter how big the fire is, it's just a matter of a moment, can it be cooked?

Huo Quzhi took a branch to poke the ground mine: "This thing is your big dish?" What is this way of eating? ”

Xue Qing smiled, led everyone back a hundred steps, thought about obsessive-compulsive disorder, or let the guards use shields to surround the front, in case it is not a joke, the ghost knows how powerful this thing is, in case a stone jumps over, tsk.

Xue Qing called Yuan Zhouzi with a malicious face, handed him a torch, pointed over there and said, "You go there, light the hemp rope soaked in gunpowder on the ground, and after it is burned, quickly throw away the torch and run over, how fast you can run, you know no." ”

Yuan Zhouzi instinctively felt that something was wrong, and his legs trembled and said, "Your Highness, you won't be old." ”

"Don't you want to know how to use this golden pill, and you don't want to know?"

Yuan Zhouzi thought about it, but he still resolutely went up, went to the fuse, and carefully stretched the torch far away, and wanted to run before it was lit, useless things. Finally, it was lit, and the fuse stabbed with a burst of fire and burned fast. Yuan Zhouzi threw away the torch with a strange scream, turned around and ran wildly. (To be continued.) )
