The new weapon that Ji Kang, Shi Kang, and Tian Guang mentioned was a hand fire mine made of gunpowder.

As an engineering student trained by the Huaxia system after nearly 20 years in his previous life, Ji Kang knew the composition of gunpowder very clearly.

Coming to this era, Ji Kang has long been eager to make this advanced thing.

But after a conversation with the old dean Zou Yan, I learned that the thing "gunpowder" had been invented in this era. In the eyes of one of the top representatives of Taoism, Dean Zou Yan, it is not an unusual thing at all.

A group of Taoist friends of the old dean Zou Yan, in this era, a group of guys who are called "alchemists", when refining the elixir of life, they actually got the gunpowder out hundreds of years ago.

"Alchemist" is a branch of Taoism, and its voice in the "Hundred Schools of Thought" is "Alchemy obtains Taoism, immortality". These alchemists used gunpowder as alchemy, but they never thought of using it for military purposes.

In order to become an immortal, and even immortality. These alchemist guys, in this era, can be said to be the most sacrificial group of people, the craziest people, and the most fearless of death.

These guys, in order to become immortals, can do anything. Dare to go to sea on a small wooden boat, and dare to climb the snow-capped mountains in a single clothes. As for these strange "elixirs" refined, there are not a few who eat and die.

But it is undeniable that in Ji Kang's eyes, these people are called "neurotic" by him. They are also the founders of science in this era, and they are also the founders of many disciplines.

Among this group of people, there are many excellent astronomers, geographers, medical scientists, martial artists, health scientists, etc., and of course, there are many wise scholars who will not devour this so-called elixir, such as the old dean Zou Yan.

At that time, Ji Kang, who heard the news, opened his mouth in disbelief.

When the old dean Zou Yan saw Ji Kang's expression, he thought he didn't believe it, so he went to the bookshelf, and in a pile of wooden bamboo slips, he took out a book of bamboo slips that looked very old, and opened it for Ji Kang to read the description on it.

Ji Kang hurriedly picked up this book, I don't know who built the bamboo slip, on the right side is written "fire alchemy" four big characters, what alchemy method is written in it. What is "calcining (long-term high-temperature heating), refining (heating of dry substances), moxibustion (partial baking), melting (melting), pumping (distillation), flying (also called rising, that is, sublimation), excellent (heating to denature substances)".

Ji Kang was completely stunned, these methods are the most basic chemical methods, my God! My Huaxia, you have once again refreshed my opinion of you, what a great invention this is! But you pay attention to alchemy, you pay attention to immortality, Ken Ben never thought that this would have a great effect on society, and how much effect this would have on the military.

Looking at this bamboo slip carefully, in the later alchemy recipes, there is a paragraph on it that reads, "Sulfur, realgar saltpeter, and dense burning", the phenomenon of "flame rising, burning hands and burning houses" will occur later.

The "dense" here should be the "honey" of honey, which can be turned into charcoal when heated. Sulfur and saltpeter are mixed with charcoal, and this is the recipe for gunpowder. Although there is no specific ratio, yes, this is really the recipe for gunpowder.

Ji Kang only remembered that he was holding this bamboo slip and stood there stunned for a long time. Zou Yan saw Ji Kang's scene and thought that he wanted to make alchemy, so he solemnly said to Ji Kang, "Kang'er, the old man is also a member of the Taoist family, and the alchemist has not refined any elixir for hundreds of years, you must not be obsessed with this technique, it will harm others and yourself." ”

Ji Kang looked at Zou Yan, he was already incoherent, and said something that made the old man Zou Yan half-understood, "Old dean, the kid won't take these elixirs, these are all poisons." But this alchemy, these are all chemistry! It's science! Old dean, this can greatly promote the development of productive forces! It can be used more in the military aspect! And it is of epoch-making significance. ”

Seeing Ji Kang's "crazy" appearance, the old man Zou Yan was afraid that Ji Kang was "demonic", so he hurriedly hugged Ji Kang, who was not even ten years old at the time, in his arms, and comforted him again and again, "Okay, good!" It's science, it's productivity! Kang'er, don't do this! ”

thought of the scene when he frightened the old dean Zou Yan. Ji Kang couldn't help but smile on his face.

After that, Ji Kang set up a factory specializing in gunpowder in the mountains of the Juju Industrial Zone. For the sake of safety, this is strictly regulated.

And after discussing these so-called "alchemy" with the old dean Zou Yan and the executive dean Lu Zhonglian, they were changed and made into a discipline of the Gewu branch under Xiangping College, and were named "chemistry".

There is no shortage of saltpeter and carbon used in gunpowder. Sulfur is not absent, although no large sulfur mines have been discovered, but several small sulfur mines have been discovered one after another in recent years.

Gunpowder is easy to configure, but how do you make it into granular gunpowder? Increasing the power of its explosion is a struggle. Under Ji Kang's reminder, this problem was finally solved with the collective efforts of Lu Ge, the person in charge of gunpowder, and others.

Through the efforts of the Ordnance Research Institute and the chemical research group of the Gewu College, the gunpowder was first packed in a small clay jar and the so-called "fuse" was inserted outside.

Then, according to the requirements of Junhou Jikang, a new-type steel was made of a smaller oval "hand fire thunder" that could be held by hand, and the fuse was also inserted. A few javelin throwers in the army were selected, and when they were used, they were lit with fire breakers and then thrown out, and their own people fell to the ground.

The power of this kind of hand fire thunder, the person in charge of gunpowder, Lu Ge, said in his letter to Ji Kang, "If the thunder explodes, it will shake the earth, and the surrounding area of the test will kill all the livestock." The only way to use it is to fold it with fire. ”

Ji Kang was overjoyed when he saw this. It doesn't matter! The disadvantage is that it needs to be lit with a fire fold now, but can it be improved in the future? In this direction, sooner or later a modern home-made "grenade" will appear, and this probability is very likely.

In September, Ji Kang received the letter and ordered Lu Ge to bring people and send a batch of fire mines to Xiangping City. In the past two days, I will take a few important ministers from Liaodi to go outside the city to see how powerful this so-called hand fire thunder is.

In the twelfth year of King Wucheng, November 14 is an epoch-making and commemorative day.

Early in the morning, Ji Kang took Shi Kang and Tian Guang, who had just returned to him from the navy, as well as Jun Xiangju Xin, Zou Yan, Lu Zhonglian, the old manager Ji Mao and the general Rong Yan. At Shi Kang's request, Ji Kang asked Shi Kang to bring out Wangcai.

Everyone sat in a van and came to a military camp in the mountains south of the city.

Subsequently, Ji Kang and others, led by Lu Ge, the person in charge of the research of gunpowder, accompanied by the chemical research group of the Ordnance Institute and the Gewu College, and several researchers, came to a mountain depression outside the barracks.

This mountain valley is the test site that Luge and the others chose for this time to test the hand fire mine.

For safety, Ji Kang and others stood on the top of the mountain. A few throwers in the valley, holding a fire mine in their right hand and a fire breaker in their left hand, were ready to detonate the fire mine.

After everyone stood still on the top of the mountain, a military brigadier colonel in charge of the grenade detonation experiment stepped forward, knelt down on one knee in front of Ji Kang, and reported, "Qi Yu Junhou, now the hand fire mine detonation experiment is ready, please approve it." ”

Ji Kang nodded and said to the brigadier, "Begin." ”

"No."

Immediately a red flag was erected on the hill, and a thrower was seen in the depression, coming out and standing in a trench dug in advance. lit the fuse of the fire mine in his right hand, and then threw the fire mine in his hand, and then lay down in the trench by himself according to the operation specifications.

There was a loud "boom", like thunder, and where the fire and thunder were thrown, the gravel was splashed.

Everyone on the top of the mountain, except for Ji Kang, was all stunned, and no one could speak.

Wangcai was even more frightened at the valley, and "Wangwang" barked wildly, so that Shi Kang was appeased for a while.

Ji Kang saw this and knew that according to the process, the following movement would be greater, so he hurriedly said to Shi Dang, "Cover Wangcai's ears." ”

Then, the brigadier in charge of the grenade experiment waved his hand and ordered, "Ten thunders in unison." ”

A few more red flags were erected on the top of the mountain, and the people on the top of the mountain, such as Jun Xiangju Xin, had not yet reacted to the explosion of the hand fire and thunder before.

Then he saw the place where he was in the valley, and ten more throwers, like the throwers just now, stood in the ditch, lit the fire mines in their hands, and threw them, and the ten throwers immediately bent down into the ditch.

The loud noise that followed made everyone on the top of the mountain feel that the mountain was shaking, and the explosion of ten hand fire thunders in their ears was so loud that they all "buzzed". At the place of the explosion, rubble flew and a large crater appeared.

The general Rong was completely stunned, his eyes widened, and his mouth never closed. Everyone on the top of the mountain was like this, and they couldn't believe it. Oh my god! This is really a product of my Liaodi.

The old dean, Zou Yan, reacted a little, and also said to Ji Kang in a trembling voice, "Kang'er, this is what you saw a few years ago that those alchemists made out of gunpowder and made it?" ”

Lu Zhonglian, the executive dean, also looked at Ji Kang and said to him, "Childe, this is the Gewu Academy, the Chemical Research Group and the Ordnance Research Institute, what they have developed?" ”

Jun Xiangju Xin and others also looked at Ji Kang with a "confused" expression.

Ji Kang looked at everyone's expressions, smiled at everyone, nodded, and said, "Yes." ”

Immediately, the general Rong Yan reacted, clasped his fists and bowed to Ji Kang, "Son, with this thing, my Liao army is like a tiger with wings!" In the future, what army in the world can stop the conquest of my Liaodi army? ”

After listening to Rong Yan's words, everyone understood that this fire thunder was too important to the army, and this was simply something that subverted the mode of war!

Jun Xiangju, Xin and the others looked at each other, and bowed down to Ji Kang together, "Congratulations to the son, congratulations to the son!" ”

Ji Kang smiled, looked at the explosion city under the mountain depression, looked at Lu Ge standing next to him, and said slowly, "Lu Ge, the main person in charge of the research of gunpowder, is a third-class viscount, and the others will be given different baronial titles according to their merits, and the financial rewards will be counted separately." ”

Lu Ge and several researchers behind him all knelt on the ground excitedly and kowtowed to Ji Kang, "Thank you, Junhou." ”

Ji Kang walked slowly and said to everyone, "The invention of this hand fire thunder is only the initial application of gunpowder. In the future, there will be more weapons derived from gunpowder. The invention of this fire grenade has shown that our army has entered a new era. ”

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes showing hope, and they all nodded their heads.

Seeing everyone like this, Ji Kang shook his head and said in his heart, "This marks the beginning of the army's thermal weapons!" It can't be overstated! ”

Then, he handed the few drawings that had been prepared to Lu Ge, and said to him, "I call this thing on this drawing a 'flintlock pistol', and use flint to collide with gunpowder and send out projectiles to injure distant enemies. ”

"The other thing on this drawing, which I call "artillery", is similar to the principle of a hand fire grenade. If you can make it, I will reward you. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised, but they didn't say anything. His own little prince, over the years, has come up with a lot of strange things, and everyone is not surprised.

Lu Ge took the drawings, kowtowed, and said, "I will live up to the trust of the prince!" ”

Ji Kang said that since the gunpowder technology has matured, it is still in place in one step, and there is no need for a simple firecracker. In my previous life, as an engineering student of mechanical design and production, I was not too familiar with the construction principle of flintlock pistols.

As for artillery, let's start with simple earthen artillery! In the future, the quality and technology of artillery will be gradually improved.

After so many years of development, Liaodi's technological level should also be able to make flintlock pistols and simple artillery, which is just the length of time.

Of course, while researching flintlock pistols and artillery, Ji Kang believed that the researchers of these Ordnance Research Institute and Gewu Academy could reach a higher level and develop more thermal weapons.

Ji Kang nodded, and encouraged Lu Ge and the others again, "Do it well, there is great potential in this area of gunpowder, I am waiting for you to bring me more good news." Remember, one is security and the other is confidentiality. Got it? ”

Lu Ge hurriedly replied to Ji Kang, "No." ”

Subsequently, Ji Kang turned to Jun Xiangju Xin and said, "Jun Xiang, the Ministry of Engineering is ordered to choose a remote place in the mountain to establish a large hand fire thunder factory according to the production method and process of hand fire mines. This hand fire mine, the army is going to begin to be equipped. ”

He also said to the senior general, Rong Yan, "From the army's javelin throwers, select 3,000 soldiers with good quality, and the first independent brigade will be specially trained to throw hand fire mines." Moreover, in the future, this kind of weapon will gradually spread to all armed forces of all branches of the armed forces. ”

Jun Xiangju Xin and General Rong Yan, after listening to Ji Kang's words, they hugged their fists together and bowed down and said, "No." ”

With the two of them, talk about it. Ji Kang stood at the top of the mountain, looking into the distance with his eyes, only to see the mountains stacked on top of each other.

The whole world has become different in Ji Kang's eyes.
