Chapter 11: The Birth of Gunpowder
"Hahahaha...... It's finally working, it's finally working...... What kind of public loss class, what vertical and horizontal family, what Mo family, Wu Lu Kun is the first person in the world of mechanical arts! With the power of this gunpowder, who dares to compete with me? Hahahaha! ā
Just when the Huns were pondering behind the skull ~ lewdness, accompanied by a hearty and sharp laughter, I saw that in the southeast corner of the castle, a middle-aged man dressed in a coarse cloth short coat, with a double long shirt on the right side of the collar, a bun on his head, a sweaty face, his hair was scattered, and his body was full of stains, and he looked quite embarrassed and ran out laughing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I saw that his whole body was in rags, his face was smeared with scum of various colors, and he had a big flower face, and his hair was in a bun on his head.
His hands were black, but he was holding two black balls tightly, his eyebrows were ~ upturned, his eyes were almost narrowed into a slit, his face was red ~ moist, and he was obviously very excited.
Judging from the clothes and hair, this person is actually a Chinese who is different from the Huns!
That's right, this person is the so-called "arsenal" under the command of Da Dan, Yan Lu Kun!
Seeing Lu Kun so dissolute, disheveled, and embarrassed, both the skull and Fu Yan couldn't help frowning.
"Has the Great Temple always been like this?"
As if he had smelled a strange sour smell, the big thrifty skull tilted his head behind his head, pinched his nose and asked.
As a celebrity under Da Dan Yu and a big temple, Lu Kun's behavior is obviously a bit unexpected.
Although he is usually a little uninhibited~ uninhibited, arrogant, and empty-eyed, he has always paid attention to his clothing scale and behavior.
A few times before, Lu Kun was still a polite gentleman, but for some reason he suddenly became so embarrassed.
When Fu Yan heard this, he suddenly felt that he couldn't help laughing, but he still forced a smile and said:
"Since the Great Temple came back a month ago, he has become silent, and has been sneaking in the grass hut to do some research, and he has explicitly ordered that no one is allowed to disturb him, but it is the first time that he has been so unrestrained as today."
"Oh?" The brows behind the skull furrowed deeply, and he was naturally very puzzled in his heart.
The first is why the Great Temple built Lu Kun suddenly became like this, and as for the second, it is naturally the hope and longing for the so-called earth-shattering work, a weapon with earth-shattering power.
Thinking of this, the skull queen was very curious, and immediately strode up to meet it, stopped the crazy big temple builder Lu Kun and said:
"This ...... Why is the temple built like this? ā
When Lu Kun heard this, he hurriedly raised his head, and because his eyes were full of tears and dregs, he didn't see clearly for a while, so he rubbed his eyes in confusion and asked, "Your Excellency?" ā
"Uh......" I didn't know how to answer for a while after the skull, and said in my heart, it won't be a month, and the big temple will forget about it.
"Under ......"
"Great temple, you have to see clearly, this is Lord Da Jian!"
Before the skull could finish speaking, the thousand cavalry commander Fu Yan on the side had already grabbed the conversation.
"Great Frugality ???"
Lu Kun was shocked when he heard this, and quickly rubbed his red and swollen eyes, teased ~ Kailing~ messy hair, looked at it a few times, and after confirming that it was a big thrifty skull, his face changed, and he quickly bowed down and apologized:
"Humble Lu Kun, I didn't know that Dajian was coming, he missed the distance, and he offended Dajian, he really deserved to die, and I hope Dajian forgives his sins......"
As the leader of the Xiongnu Da Dan Yu's subordinates, slacking off Da Shan is disrespectful to Da Dan, he Lu Kun has ten heads, and it is not enough to cut it.
Therefore, he can only bear the guilt of pleading in order to obtain forgiveness after the skull.
However, after the skull, he is naturally not one of those people with small stomachs, and how smart and wise he is, he just waved his hand lightly, "No hindrance, no hindrance, presumably the great temple is also obsessed with research, and he is reckless for a while, the so-called ignorant are not guilty, and there is no need to blame himself too much." Just ......"
After the skull, he turned his words, swept his hands up and down, and frowned:
"It's just that before the big temple was built, it was still a handsome little student, why did it become like this now?"
Hearing what the skull said, Lu Kun's heart secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he also had a little more admiration and respect for the big thrifty skull.
"Alas......" I saw him shake slightly, and said with a long sigh:
"Da Jian didn't know that the reason why the lowly position was like this was because Da Shan had given the lowly position an order before, requiring him to make the so-called "gunpowder" as soon as possible in accordance with the proportion he gave! ā
"Gunpowder ???" The skull seemed to understand something.
"Not bad!" Lu Kun nodded pertinently, "Since the humble position came back from the royal court, he plunged into the workshop, looking for raw materials, mixing and testing, because he often failed at the beginning, and his heart was very anxious, and he had no time to take care of anything else, so he became the appearance of this person who is not a ghost or a ghost." ā
Gunpowder, although the ratio is very simple, saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, plus blasting shell, but in this backward productive B.C., it is unattainable.
Not to mention the backwardness of metallurgical technology, the inability to produce reliable shells, and even the names and purities of the ingredients are not the same, Lu Kun also spent a lot of effort to find several main raw materials that Da Dan Yu Mao Dun translated.
Even finding raw materials is so difficult, let alone a dangerous and uncertain experiment.
Didn't the first explosion startle Lu Kun and the soldiers defending the city?
So it's understandable that Lu Kun has become like this.
The skull bowed slightly, nodded yes, and then asked tentatively:
"That'...... Is this so-called "gunpowder" successfully developed? ā
"Not bad!"
Lu Kun was full of energy, nodded very hard, raised his eyebrows, and looked high-spirited.
"Da Jian, please look, this is gunpowder!"
Lu Kun then gestured to the skull and looked at his own gesture, only to see that where his eyes converged, that is, in Lu Kun's dirty palm, there were two black round spheres many times larger than eggs, each with a small red pigtail hanging down.
"This ...... Is it gunpowder? The skull couldn't believe his eyes, "Could it be that the roar just now is the power of this gunpowder?" ā
"That's right, that's it!" Lu Kun raised his eyebrows.
Hearing this, his face changed dramatically, he didn't expect that this seemingly small ball had such a lot of energy, and what made her even happier was that Lu Kun really succeeded......
This also means that the dream of unifying the desert that I have been thinking about for a long time will not only be a dream, but will become countable!
I saw him trembling his hands, slowly taking the so-called "gunpowder" from Lu Kun's hand, looking left and right, his eyes were full of brilliance, and even flashed with crystal tears.
Except for the hands-on planners such as Mao Dun and Lu Kun, I'm afraid no one will be more excited and excited by him, a big thug who knows the inside story, and it's no wonder that Lu Kun is inexplicably crazy.
"This ...... That's a great achievement! The skull did not hide a little greedy excitement at all, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
As he spoke, he also praised Lu Kun, the grizzled temple in front of him.
You must know that as a steady and dignified thrifty, he is the first person under the single, and he rarely praises people after the skull.
The last one he praised and was cited as a man of God was the current Dadan Yu Maudun.
The optimism about Lu Kun can be seen from this.
And Lu Kun, when these praises entered his ears one by one, although he was still happy in his heart and a sense of accomplishment, he still had a hint of sobriety, and only replied quite modestly:
"Da Jian praised it, in fact, all this Lu Kun just did things according to orders, if you want to reward meritorious deeds, the name of this merit, Da Dan Yu is not to be allowed!"
