Chapter XXXVII
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw Tiezhu and Wang Blacksmith coming up, and they had already returned to the bottom of the ditch first. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Iron Pillar's injuries are no longer serious.
I saw Tie Zhu hurrying up to meet him, and said with an anxious face: "Brother Qi, you are back, in the past few days that you are no longer here, there has been a big incident at home." ”
Tie Zhu didn't catch his breath, and Uncle Wang continued: "In the past few days, a group of horse bandits have popped up out of nowhere, with a fierce temperament, and they have targeted our village, coercing and intimidating, but those people have knives and guns in their hands, and the village chief Li has slipped away again, and the township soldiers have long been disbanded." ”
Sun Qi was angry in his heart, but he saw that Tie Zhu wanted to speak and stopped, afraid that there was something unspeakable.
"Brother Tiezhu, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"It's just that, Brother Qi, the robber plundered Mr. Tea and Sun Carpenter, and we are in a hurry to find a way!"
When Sun Qi heard that his father and teacher were robbed, a wave of hatred rose in his heart, and he said that the disaster was not as good as his family, and this Luban would act in a way that was really shameless.
"Damn, Brother Tiezhu, Uncle Wang, let's go back and talk about it, Xiaosheng will definitely not be able to spare this horse bandit."
At that moment, Sun Qi rushed back to the village, and sure enough, there were traces of arson everywhere in the village, Sun Qi scolded in his heart, this group of robbers is really not a thing, fortunately, there were no casualties.
"Qi'er, your father was intercepted by the bad guys, and he took Mr. Tea away, and now his life and death are uncertain, and his mother can't live."
As soon as he got home, he heard Chang Xinyan's crying, and Sun Qi was also very sad.
"Don't worry, mother, Qi'er will definitely eat as much as this horse bandit eats, spit out, and let him return it doubly."
Sun Qi said word by word, gritting his teeth.
At this moment, although the weather in the third autumn is cold in autumn, Sun Qi's heart is very hot, because he has not made improvements in armaments before, because many places are restricted, but now he can't take care of so much.
Gunpowder is a precious inheritance of the Chinese nation, and many folk artists use gunpowder to perform magical actions, such as spewing fireworks and clouds to escape people.
Gunpowder first originated in the hands of some alchemists in the Han Dynasty, who mixed a certain amount of chemical agents in proportion to make 'elixir pills', but this is also the earliest origin of gunpowder in the Han Dynasty.
But here in Sun Qi, it became a one-star blueprint of weapons.
However, as long as there are drawings, this gunpowder will be studied and promoted.
"Saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur, mixed in a certain proportion, consume a white essence."
As for the raw materials, Sun Qi is not worried, charcoal was discovered in the Neolithic Age, and used for heating or smelting metal. Charcoal is now available in every household, and it is not difficult to collect.
Sulphur is a natural occurrence, and there are several sulphur mines near the village, which have been abandoned and are now being used.
Saltpeter is even easier, and the corners of rural walls or under the eaves are covered with soil nitrate.
In less than half a day, Sun Qi had a lot of raw materials in front of him.
A pile of saltpeter, a pile of sulfur, a lot of wooden towers, as long as these three things are mixed and ignited in a sealed environment, the power can be like thunder.
"Brother Qi, don't you want to do alchemy, these things are all raw materials for some elixirs, why do you want this?"
Tie Zhu was puzzled, he had read the ancestors' descriptions of alchemy in ancient books such as Hug Puzi, since he wanted the elixir of life, just spend a lot of money to buy it in the capital, there are many alchemists there, why do you want to do alchemy yourself.
"That's right, Qi'er, we're not cultivators, but we dare to think about immortality!"
Chang Xinyan looked at the big pile of messy chemical fuels in front of her, and was puzzled, she knew that Sun Qi wanted to recapture Sun Chao, but what were you doing with these things.
Sun Qi is currently in order to catch up with the schedule, collected gunpowder that can probably make many bombs, and he is also going to get some more old-fashioned, but compared to this era, it is an extremely advanced tube-type shooting firearm, which is commonly known as 'musket', due to the current mechanic level restrictions, he has to retreat to the second.
"According to this drawing, these three things are mixed according to the proportions on the drawings and made into something called 'gunpowder'."
Sun Qi had explained this problem to all the craftsmen in Goudi Village more than three times, the first time when someone asked him if he could eat this gunpowder. Sun Qi was not angry, after all, it was the first time he accepted it, and it was inevitable that some people would misunderstand.
The second time, he was asked what the gunpowder was for. At first, Sun Qi really wanted to scold his mother, and the questions he asked one by one were even more naïve than elementary school students.
"Charcoal, saltpeter, sulfur, mixed mixture, called 'black powder', this is not to eat, this is used to kill, this gunpowder, extremely flammable, and the burning is quite intense, if this gunpowder is sealed in bottles and jars, after ignition, the volume of black powder will expand many times, and then explode."
Looking at the eyes of everyone who had some understanding, Sun Qi felt that the comprehension of these craftsmen was not bad. It's a little bit clear, unlike some people who will resist this kind of thing.
According to the drawings illustrated, these workers sorted out the mountain of three raw materials, then mixed them, and finally added a small amount of ingredients to achieve a more flammable and explosive effect.
As long as Sun Qi waited for these three fuels to mix, and then consumed a white essence, the mixture would naturally change into 'black powder', directly skipping the process.
"Two taels of sulfur, two taels of nitrate, and three and a half cents of aristolochia. The right is the end, mix well. Dig a pit and put the medicine in the tank and the ground. Put a piece of cooked fire, the marble is big, put it inside, the smoke gradually rises, cover it with four or five layers of wet paper, use a square brick piece to poke it with a mound of earth, wait for it to be cold and take it out, and its sulfur is subdued. ”
This process is too cumbersome, and now it is important to save people, make this kind of thing according to the process, and then slowly introduce it later, anyway, as long as there are drawings and processes, craftsmen can make gunpowder by themselves, as they like.
At the moment, the division of labor is clear, and Sun Qi still has to prepare some bottles and cans and leads, so that these black powder can be loaded into them and made into bombs and explosives.
"Brother Tiezhu, Uncle Wang, the two of you are going to the village now, collecting glass bottles that the villagers don't need, etc...."
All afternoon, Goudi Village was immersed in a busy, which was a big deal next to Goudi Village, the leader of the horse bandits on a hill, I saw him standing on the top of the mountain, looking at Goudi Village from afar, Ma Dalong's scarred face was wrinkled, and he thought in his heart, why didn't this Sun Qi come to save people.
"Wu Zhixian didn't say that this Sun Qi cares about his parents, my Ma Dalong has now arrested his father and teacher, isn't this Sun Qimo afraid? Or do you want to ignore it and let Sun Chao be kidnapped by me? ”
Ma Dalong decided that if Sun Qi did not come to save his father and teacher within three days, he would lead the bandits to kill them down the mountain and wash the village of Goudi in blood.
Sun Qi looked at the bottles and cans placed in the courtyard, and the black powder contained in them was tight, and thanks to the help of Caiyun Pavilion, the lead had also been obtained.
"This explosive is enough to blow up that bandit's nest!"
Sun Qi has always left no way back for the enemy.
