Chapter Eighty-Eight: Thunderball
Let's say that after sending Zhang Shicheng and Shen Wansan to purchase supplies, they passed through the corner gate and came to Uncle Zhang's house to ask him how to prepare gunpowder. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It stands to reason that unless it is his own flesh and blood, Uncle Zhang will never teach this craft to others, even if he is an apprentice who has been with him for several years, he has not spied on the doorway.
But it's different, he's a monk, and he definitely won't master gunpowder and grab a job with himself. More importantly, he is very willing to get closer to him endlessly, so as to pave a way for his nephew's future, and when the time comes, they will be able to enjoy the blessings of the old couple, so naturally they have no reservations and give them their money.
Uncle Zhang sent his apprentice home, saying that there were guests at home today, so he would not open the door to do business, and then led him to the east wing. This room is not big, but Uncle Zhang's workshop for storing raw materials, there is a pendulum type wooden lathe, which is said to be used to roll paper tubes, as long as the length of the pendulum arm is adjusted, the thickness of the paper tube can be controlled. In addition to this window, the rest of the sieves, dustpans, paper knives, tables and chairs are all available.
In his previous life, he starred in and made guest appearances in many war-themed film and television works, countless blockbusters and small films, how to say it, he can be regarded as a real man who has crawled and fought on the "battlefield", and he has also experienced the scenes filled with gunfire and gunpowder!
However, his knowledge of gunpowder is limited to the surface, except for smelling the smell of gunpowder smoke and feeling the devastation of the heat wave, at most he has personally fired a few empty cartridges and let go of a few second kicks.
As for the preparation method of gunpowder, he didn't understand bullshit except for the folk legend of "one sulfur, two nitrate and three carbons".
It was only then that he had the opportunity to really participate in the preparation of gunpowder.
He was very excited, thinking that he had mastered the mantra of "one sulfur, two nitrate and three carbons", that is, he had obtained the "Nine Yin True Scripture" in the scientific community of the Yuan Dynasty.
After Uncle Zhang was slightly surprised, he was relieved, he thought to himself: The little master is a monk, and he must be proficient in the five elements of astronomy and geography.
But after the endless preparation was completed, Uncle Zhang found out that the little monk also didn't understand something.
He took a small spoonful of sulfur, two small spoonfuls of earth and three spoonfuls of charcoal, mixed them together, and made a small pinch of "gunpowder", and when he took it to the patio and lit it, he found that it could not burn violently at all.
He scolded very frustratedly: Damn, work hard for a long time, it's not as big as a fart!
Uncle Zhang smiled: "Little Master, this ratio is wrong. ”
He kept saying, "That's right! 'One sulfur, two nitrate and three carbons' I strictly follow the formula? ”
Uncle Zhang asked suspiciously: "Where is this matching, but the little old man has never heard of it." ”
He wanted to say that it was 'taught by a high school teacher,' but he swallowed it back again, and in order to explain that one problem would lead to more problems, it was too unnecessary, so he excused himself: "I heard about it on the road." ”
Uncle Zhang said: "The person who said this is too misleading. He only blamed others, but he saved some face.
He smiled awkwardly and thought, "Grandma's, the teacher is too bad!" "How did he know that the 'one sulfur, two nitro and three carbons' people said was referring to the chemical formula, not the quantity ratio.
In the end, Uncle Zhang prepared a small portion of gunpowder by himself, and he constantly noticed that Uncle Zhang's preparation method was very different from his own perception. According to Uncle Zhang's approach, the ratio of soil nitrate to sulfur is nearly one to three, and soil nitrate accounts for almost three-quarters of the whole, while charcoal uses a very small part.
The gunpowder was ignited and burned very quickly, but from this point, you can imagine the power of the gunpowder!
Endlessly excited, he praised him sincerely: "Zhang Shizhu is amazing, and the little monk admires it!" ”
Uncle Zhang was slightly polite, and then asked, "I don't know what the little master is used for preparing gunpowder?" ”
He kept saying: "Self-preservation!" ”
Uncle Zhang said with concern: "But can someone hurt the little master?" ”
"It's not true, but it's always good to plan ahead," he explained. To tell the truth, the little monk is about to leave Xuanzhen to explore the rivers and lakes! You also know that the rivers and lakes are too sinister, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the little monk is so kind, simple, and kind, in case he encounters a bad guy, the little monk has no abdominal muscles, and can only rely on weapons to protect himself, and this is incomparable, it must be firearms. ”
After listening to this, Uncle Zhang thought so. His ancestors were craftsmen in the Ordnance Bureau, and he was very interested in firearms since he was a child. When Imada heard that he was constantly making firearms, he also came to his senses and asked, "What kind of firearms does the little master make?" If you use me, you will do it with all your might! ”
I couldn't stop thinking about it: a grenade? Grenade? No, the name is not domineering enough. So, he changed the two to an ancient model of expression, quoting a line in "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", and said: "This weapon is called a thunderbolt!" It can explode and kill people! ”
Uncle Zhang was very interested in the firearm, so he asked for advice on what it looked like. Restless on the ground, he drew the shape of a grenade and explained where to add medicine, where to grip and where to lead.
Uncle Zhang always felt that this thing was familiar, and a book "The General Essentials of the Martial Arts" suddenly flashed in his mind: "Amazing, amazing, at such an age, the little master is actually proficient in the "General Essentials of the Martial Classics", which is really amazing!" ”
He kept asking: "What is the secret book of this "General Essentials of the Martial Arts"? ”
Uncle Zhang was surprised: "Little Master has never heard of it, if this is the case, it is even more difficult to come up with this thunderbolt fireball!" ”
Then, he gave a brief introduction to this book, this "Wujing General Essentials" is a military book of the previous dynasty, which contains detailed explanations of various weapons, and it is a military book of the world. I've also heard the old man talk about it, but I haven't really seen it, and the thunderbolt bomb mentioned by the little master is so similar to the thunderbolt fireball in it!
He was also surprised, so he said, "Really? The wisdom of the ancients is truly amazing! ”
Uncle Zhang said proudly: "Yes! The wisdom of our Han people is unparalleled in the world! He turned to say sadly, "However, the Yuan people are in charge, suppressed everywhere, and it is difficult to see the blue sky!" What a rebellion he said, and if he were not close to him, he would not dare to say it.
He patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, Master Zhang, it is the responsibility of the little monk to revive the prestige of my Han family!" ”
Uncle Zhang suddenly raised his head, and he looked at the little master's eyes with a little more admiration and expectation! "The king set the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family sacrifice did not forget to tell Naiweng!" Lu Fangweng's famous sentence flashed in his mind.
The uncle nodded heavily, he inexplicably believed that the little monk in front of him must have this ability.
"What is the little master going to do? Just command! "Uncle Zhang is very simple, helping the little master is to help the entire people of the Central Plains!
He kept saying: "Don't worry, wait for Zhang Shicheng!" ”
As he was talking, someone outside the door shouted, "Uncle, little master, I'm back." ”
When the two of them watched, it was Zhang Shicheng and Shen Wansan who came back with paper, mustard and paint.
Endless joy: "It's really timely rain!" It's waiting for you! ”
