Chapter 168: Undesirable Results
The made ceramic grenade was stuffed with gunpowder, and because the ceramic jar was not very large, the weight of gunpowder was only a little more than a catty.
It stands to reason that anyone present with this weight can throw it more than 20 meters away, but Su Ziheng was not at ease, so he called Shi Meng and prepared to let him try to throw it.
The first time, just in case, the fuse used was long, and it took about ten seconds to burn before the grenade detonated. This point in time was completely enough for Shi Meng and the people present to react, even if they didn't throw far enough, they could run a little farther by themselves.
For reasons of secrecy, the experiment was not carried out near the workshop, but instead chose a secluded riverside, which is inaccessible and has no dense trees around, so that even if the explosion causes a fire, it will not be very dangerous.
A group of twenty people stood on the rocky beach by the river, looking at the river in the distance, Su Ziheng visually measured a distance of about 100 meters, stopped and said, "Let's try it here." ”
Shi Meng jumped off his horse and carefully took out a pottery grenade in his pockets on both sides of the horse. In order to be safe, Su Ziheng asked the ten nurses who came with him to each carry a pottery grenade, so that they were not afraid that the two would collide and explode accidentally.
Shi Meng didn't care too much about this inconspicuous gadget, but what his master said was serious, so he had to be cautious. He looked back at Su Ziheng and asked, "Master, is it just that I need to use the fire fold to light this fuse and throw it out?" ”
Su Ziheng nodded and reminded: "As long as you are sure that the fuse is ignited, immediately throw it out with your greatest strength, and throw it as far as possible." ”
Shi Meng looked at the pottery grenade in his hand, then looked at the river in the distance, frowned, and said secretly: "If you really want to throw it out with the greatest strength, I'm afraid it will be thrown into the river." Forget it, no matter how much, just listen to the master, anyway, the master won't be wrong! ”
I saw him take out the fire fold, pull out the lid, put it to his mouth and blew it, and suddenly the flames came out. Shi Meng lit the fuse near the ceramic grenade at the end of the fire, and when he saw that the fuse made a "zizi" burning sound, he immediately lucked the dantian, and an internal force surged towards his right hand, and then threw it with all the strength of his body.
"Whoosh!"
I saw the ceramic grenade fly high in the air, cross the 100-meter river beach, fall into the river in the distance, and then sink.
Su Ziheng's eyebrows jumped wildly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was speechless at Shi Meng. This is really a stunned person, I let him throw it hard, just because I was afraid that the explosion would hurt people if I threw it close, but I didn't let him throw the grenade into the river.
This grenade got into the water, how else to explode?
Shi Meng just wanted to turn around and ask the master, did he throw it far enough? But as soon as he saw him glaring at him angrily, he knew that this was broken, and he must have overexerted himself.
This time, the master let himself test the power of this ceramic grenade, and he threw it into the river, can you still see the power of this one?
Looking at the others, they couldn't help but look at themselves with a smile, obviously surprised them by what they had just done. Shi Meng drooped his face and said embarrassedly: "Master, if you let me try again, I promise that I won't throw it into the river again this time." ”
Su Ziheng rode over, gave him a shudder, and snorted coldly: "Go aside, let Niu Da Zhuang come." ”
Niu Dazhuang is one of the 100 nurses recruited this time, and he can rank in the top ten every time he trains. Although he does not have a superb martial arts like Shi Meng, he is also a little brute force, and he is very obedient, which is deeply appreciated by Shi Meng and Su Ziheng.
Niu Dazhuang got off the horse and said to Shi Meng with a smile: "Captain, the master said let me come, you will take care of it, and promise not to lose your face." ”
Shi Meng glanced at him stupidly, and had to retreat to the side. Whoever let him throw his ceramic grenade just now, even if he wanted to do it again, there was no grenade thrown at him.
Niu Dazhuang took out the fire fold, also lit the fuse of the grenade, and was just about to throw it out, when he suddenly heard a deafening sound of "boom" from the river in the distance, as if a thunder exploded on the ground.
The sudden sound of getting up was amazing, Niu Dazhuang also shook his hand, and the ceramic grenade that was just about to be thrown out fell to the ground.
Many people have not woken up from the violent explosion just now, only Su Ziheng has always been very calm, he has seen explosions that are much more violent than this in his previous life, and the one just now is not very powerful.
However, Niu Dazhuang took out the grenade that frightened him, and hurriedly shouted at the top of his throat, "Shi Meng, quickly throw that grenade out." ”
After all, Shi Meng is superb in kung fu and has a very sensitive response, and he reacted as soon as he heard Su Ziheng's shout. rushed forward, shook Niu Dazhuang aside, picked up the grenade that was rattling, shook his hand and threw it out.
Before it could hit the ground, the grenade exploded in mid-air. This loud bang was much louder than the explosion in the river just now. The herd of horses, which had not yet settled down, was in a commotion again, kicking the horses' hooves in all directions, and the "sighing rhythm" galloped away in all directions.
Su Ziheng held the reins of the horse tightly, and comforted the war horse under his crotch while patting the horse's head. Thanks to the fact that these war horses have followed the desert wolves all year round, and have experienced many life and death scenes, after the commotion, they calmed down with a little comfort.
After a moment of commotion, the crowd gathered again.
Qi Xing'an, the craftsman who came with him, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said with palpitations: "Master, the power of this ceramic grenade is too fierce, it's almost like thunder." ”
"Yes, yes, sir, this is a remarkable invention." Guo Yuanming also echoed on the side.
"With this thing, I'm afraid no one will dare to provoke our Sujiazhuang again......" The nurses discussed enthusiastically.
Li Pengcheng, Jia Yuguang, and Chen Wenjie also bowed in unison and said, "Congratulations to the teacher, congratulations to the teacher." ”
Zhang Yiming and Qingfeng Mingyue were also surprised, but they didn't expect that the gunpowder made by Su Ziheng's modified formula would be so powerful. The gunpowder, which was less than two taels, was actually more powerful than the gunpowder refined by his master Danyangzi Wang Boyang.
……
Only Su Ziheng frowned, not very satisfied.
Although in the eyes of others, the power of this ceramic grenade explosion is already very powerful, and it is only seen in their lives. But Su Ziheng is different, for him, the power of this ceramic grenade is average, not even one-tenth of the power of the grenade he knew in his previous life.
At best, it is about the same power as the detonator used to blow up fish in his previous life, and even some enhanced versions of the thunderbolt can reach this level.
This can only injure people, but it can't kill people. Unless someone specifically clicks on their backs and is shot to the point by the explosion of ceramic shards.
What Su Ziheng longs for is not as simple as just hurting people, the grenade he wants to make can blow up the people who fall next to it with the least power. Otherwise, if you really want to run into an army that is not afraid of death, how can you deter them?
