Gao Ruone and Wang Wen came very quickly, but in an hour, these two ministers came to Zhao Xin. The faces of the two people of "Guogong ......" were full of joy.

As soon as Zhao Xin saw it, he knew what he commanded, and they should have done it well.

So he said, "Something brought?" ”

"Brought ......" Wang Wen took out a small bag wrapped in cloth from his arms, carefully placed it on the ground in front of Zhao Xin, and then opened it, revealing the white powder crystals inside, which were only about three or five taels.

But the moment Zhao Xin saw it, his eyes lit up.

"Bring it ......up," he commanded, "take a closer look at it!" he commanded. ”

So, this package of powder was sent to Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin lowered his head and sniffed it with his nose, but there was no smell.

He gently dipped his hand a little bit and put it in his mouth to taste, a cool, spicy and slightly salty taste that instantly transmitted from his taste buds to his brain.

"Potassium nitrate indeed!" He laughed, and smiled brightly.

Countless past events in his past life come to mind.

Black powder, as everyone knows, is a by-product of ancient Chinese alchemists.

It was first used in warfare in the Tang Dynasty, and in the current Great Song Dynasty, the first firearms and utensils also appeared.

The most famous is the three early 'gunpowder' recorded in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" that Zeng Gongliang and Ding Du are now writing.

The reason for this is that they are not really gunpowder at all!

The formula of the artillery gunpowder with the best combat effect is also extremely cumbersome, with as many as ten kinds of raw materials.

And most importantly - they don't explode at all!

These gunpowder weapons are not so much explosives as incendiary.

The main lethality comes from the toxic smoke released after the violent combustion or the damage caused by the combustion itself.

As for what impact force or anything like that, it simply doesn't exist.

As a traverser, in Zhao Xin's previous life, he would naturally learn what the traverser's predecessors had done - climbing the technology tree.

And it's the kind of crazy climbing method that holds back the late stage.

Pity......

Reality gave him a slap in the face!

Knowing the recipe makes something?

What is the difference between this and the myth that knowing the drawings can mass-produce caressing the mother?

The fact is that the formula is placed in front of people's eyes, and according to the map, it may not be produced.

Even if it's just the most rudimentary creation in the history of the human scientific and technological revolution - black powder!

The formula of one nitro, two huang, and three charcoal, Zhao Xin has been popularized in countless novels before he crossed over.

So, when he ascended the throne and took power, he immediately began to gear up, wanting to use twenty years to hold back an army that could be shot in line, and then crush all the Liao people to death!

However, reality dealt a blow to his naivety and naivety!

One nitrate, two Huang and three carbons?

Hehe......

The sulfur and saltpeter of the Great Song Dynasty are all ores prepared without purification.

It is full of all kinds of impurities and has all kinds of problems.

When paired together, some can explode, some cannot, and some can only barely burn.

As a result, he had to bury himself in the study of various purification and preparation technologies.

Finally got it, and he found that he still couldn't prepare enough black powder.

What's the problem?

It took him years to figure it out - it turned out that the recipe was fake!

In fact, the purified potassium nitrate needs to account for the absolute majority, at least more than seventy percent!

The ratio between saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal should ideally be fifteen to two to one.

With black powder, the first step of the Long March began.

Muskets, even the simplest muskets, tested the metallurgical technology and craftsmanship of the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty.

And Zhao Xin thought about holding back the late stage, and refused to play with the low-level goods like the musket, and thought about holding back the flintlock pistol.

The result was a tragedy.

It took twenty years to hold back a few inferior goods that exploded as soon as the gun was fired!

This gave him a blow to the head and made him finally wake up to a truth - weapons and equipment cannot be held back by holding back.

Only actual combat and practice can promote the upgrading of equipment, cultivate sufficient industrial talents, and maintain the continuous upgrading of the entire production chain.

Recalling the past, Zhao Xin gently kneaded the boiled nitrate powder in his hand.

He knew that this epoch-making weapon should be installed as soon as possible.

Let them go into battle, play their part, make the enemy wail, and make the world tremble.

As a result, we can enrich talents and resources and accelerate the frequency of their use.

Weapons and equipment are all like this, the more times they are used, the better the effect, and the faster they will be updated and improved.

In the future, in addition to nuclear weapons, isn't that weapon going to be used by all means after it is produced?

Because if you don't use it, if you don't practice it, you don't know where the problem might be? I don't know how to improve.

That's how military technology goes.

It is completely based on practice, on constant war, tempered in the flames of war.

Behind closed doors, you can only create unrealistic goods.

So, Zhao Xin looked at Wang Wen and Gao Rune, and instructed them: "Within a month, I want to see a thousand catties of such a colored nitrate!" ”

"Guogong ......" Wang Wen asked cautiously, "Are you planning to use this thing to make some kind of magic medicine?" ”

In contemporary times, nitrate, like sulfur, is much more valuable for medicine than for military!

Coupled with the aura on Zhao Xin's body, it is inevitable that it will not be reminiscent of Pianpiao.

Zhao Xin just smiled mysteriously and said, "Just follow Lone's order to do it!" ”

"Respectfully Fengdeyin!" Gao Ruone immediately grabbed Wang Wen, who was full of curiosity, and bowed down to accept the order.

"Respectfully Fengdeyin!" Wang Wen also came to his senses and immediately bowed his head and accepted the order.

"Go ahead......" Zhao Xin waved his hand and said.

After sending Gao Ruone and Wang Wen away, Zhao Xin called Gan Zhaoji over and ordered him: "Go to the treasurer, transfer 200 catties of sulfur and 100 catties of charcoal to Chunfang for later use......"

"Charcoal should be ground and sifted, and its fine ...... should be taken."

"The same is true of brimstone!"

The Great Song Dynasty itself produced very little sulfur, but there was one country that shipped a large amount of sulfur to the Great Song Dynasty every year - Japan.

And sulfur is something that the Great Song Dynasty also needs.

Because it is widely used for alchemy, deworming, insecticide, and treating various skin diseases.

In particular, the courtiers in the palace were in particular in need of sulfur.

Therefore, in the inner treasury of the Great Song Dynasty Imperial City, thousands of catties of sulfur are stored all year round.

"Respectfully Fengdeyin!" When Gan Zhaoji heard this, he immediately went to do it.

Zhao Xin lay down and closed his eyes.

Now, he is looking forward to how the Great Song monarchs and ministers will react when they see the first artificially created explosives on earth in a month's time.

"This is just the beginning......"

"The first link in the reaction chain ......"

Zhao Xin knows the history of mankind after the appearance of firearms.

He also knew what he was doing?

Be more aware of the consequences of what you do.

When the productive forces increase, the relations of production change, the composition of society moves in response, and the superstructure changes completely.

And so, with the rumbling whistle.

The crown landed, and the monarch tied his hands.

To be reasonable, as the only imperial heir of the Great Song Dynasty, he should have resisted this history and should have rejected all this.

However......

The tragic situation described in the history books forced him to do these things.

Jingkang's difficulty, the clan is like a mustard, and the emperor is like a weed.

The concubines and daughters of Huizong and Qinzong, as well as the people and scholars of the entire Bianjing, will become victims under the butcher's knife.

He didn't want his children and grandchildren to fall to that miserable state.

What's more, the advent of firearms, social changes, will not necessarily lead to the crown to the ground.

Kaiser Wilhelm, the Russian Tsar, and the Neon Emperor were all stable because of the emergence of firearms.

Firearms are not only a weapon of resistance, a weapon of life, but also a weapon of domination! A weapon of repression!

With firearms, peasant uprisings were child's play, and workers' rebellions could be suppressed at their fingertips.

As long as the army is not chaotic, the imperial power will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Besides......

"After I die, who cares about the flood?!" Zhao Xin sneered: "The most important thing is that you are cool!" ”

After experiencing the failure of his previous life, Zhao Xin is no longer willing to be aggrieved in this life.

I'll talk about it when I'm done.

Anyway, those possible consequences and future troubles will not affect him.

Not even his son was a threat.

In that case, of course, it's cool first.

After that, I'll think about other issues.

Anyway, no matter how bad things are, they can't be as bad as Jingkang, and no matter how bad they are, they can't be bad enough to cross the cliff and sink over the mountains.

So, Zhao Xin was at ease, and even eager to try, and couldn't wait!
