Chapter Seventy-Four: Standard Gunpowder (II)
The reaction of the two old Taoist priests was good, thinking that they should have seen too many of this kind of scene, although there was also anxiety on their faces, they did not panic at all, and their speed did not decrease at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At this time, a pair of broad and powerful hands held Yang Shen's shoulders, and a warm stream of heat was transmitted, entering Yang Shen's meridians and flowing throughout his body. Yang Shen only felt comfortable all over his body, and the discomfort in his body just now disappeared in an instant.
"Thank you, Uncle Fang." Yang Shen thanked Fang Huaxiang beside him.
"The head of the house is polite." A smile appeared on Fang Huaxiang's honest face, and he had no intention of taking credit.
At this time, the two old Taoist priests finally ran to Yang Shen's side, and they were panting heavily, looking too tired to do anything.
Yang Shen looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "The two Dao Masters have worked hard. ā
An old Taoist priest shook his head and said: "Thank you Guogong for your concern, but you need to run a few more steps, although Xiaodao is old, this little hardship can still be endured." ā
Another old Taoist priest also nodded repeatedly.
Seeing this, Yang Shen stopped mentioning this topic, and when he saw that the bamboo forest in front of him was already burning, he said, "Let's put out the fire first." ā
Naturally, the crowd will not object.
Several people, including Yang Shen, carried a wooden bucket and filled the water tank with water and poured it on the burning bamboo, and after several trips, the fire in the bamboo forest was extinguished.
A few people put down the barrel, and Yang Shen said, "Let's go over and have a look." "What the power of the explosion is, Yang Shen still needs to see it with his own eyes to be sure.
Although several old Taoist priests were reluctant to take Yang Shen over, after all, there had just been an explosion there, and it was not a good time to pass, but they also knew that Yang Shen's decision could not be changed by themselves and others, so they had to lead the way in front with a bitter face, so that even if there was any danger, it would not fall on Yang Shen first.
This is naturally not how loyal they are to the Yang family, but that they know that the family of the others must be under the control of the Yang family, and if something happens to Yang Shen, their family will be over.
With these old Taoist priests, Yang Shen came to a place not far from the explosion. When they arrived here, several old Taoist priests stopped, and one of them said to Yang Shen: "Lord Guogong, you can only come here, and please understand the difficulties of the old Taoists, don't embarrass us." Look at his determined face, it is obvious that he is not willing to take a step forward.
However, at this distance, he could already see the scene of the explosion, so Yang Shen did not insist.
Several people stared at each other, and Yang Shen and Fang Huaxiang gasped at the same time.
I saw a large pit three feet wide and two feet deep suddenly appear in front of everyone.
According to Yang Shen's previous observations, the weight of the gunpowder contained in that small box should only be about one catty, and he felt that the finished gunpowder products that the three Taoist priests had made according to the formula he provided definitely reached the power of modern standard black powder, and even if there was a gap, it should not be big.
Yang Shen is still very satisfied with this effect.
I could only hear a "grunt", and there was a sound of swallowing saliva from the side. Yang Shen turned his head to look, only to see Fang Huaxiang beside him with a red face, his eyes widened, and a ghostly expression.
He said to Yang Shen in anticipation: "Family master, if the amount of this gunpowder is doubled, even with the martial arts of his subordinates, he may not be able to retreat if he is caught off guard." The ordinary first-class masters on the rivers and lakes are even more dead and lifeless when encountered, which is really terrifying and terrifying. ā
Yang Shen nodded, but he smiled silently, if he didn't even have such an effect, how could he be eager to get the gunpowder out.
In this era, this thing is too lethal, and it is absolutely invincible to attack the city.
The experience of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the previous life showed that no matter how strong the walls were, they were scum in the face of the right gunpowder.
Yang Shen smiled and said to the three old Taoist priests: "A few Taoist leaders, there are some things, let's go to the main hall to discuss them in detail." ā
Several old Taoist priests had a premonition in their hearts, knowing that business was coming, Yang Shen ordered them to drum up gunpowder, and they would never leave it alone like this, and there would definitely be further arrangements.
The power of this improved gunpowder is too strong, and those of them who handle it will inevitably be frightened, and this Rong Guogong will not let a few people leave.
There is naturally an independent residence in this small courtyard, which is a two-story small building, and when he entered the hall, Yang Shen smiled and said, "A few Taoist leaders should go and clean it first, and then we will have a good talk." ā
The current image of these old Taoist priests is really not flattering, because Yang Shen has worked for a long time before the future, his clothes are dirty, and even his face is dirty, which is really not suitable for entertaining guests.
After all, people love to be clean, and Yang Shen said this with their face in mind.
Several old Taoist priests were obviously very clear about their current image, and one of the old Taoist priests laughed and said, "Then the old Taoist priests are sluggish." ā
Yang Shen nodded slightly, indicating that it was okay.
Confirming that the three Taoist priests had left, Fang Huaxiang whispered to Yang Shen: "Family master, this improved gunpowder can be an artifact of my Yang family's Zhen clan, if it is used on the battlefield, it can make countless contributions, do you want these old Taoist priests to ......" said and made a cross-cutting gesture with his palm.
Since the formula provided by Yang Shen has been verified by the three old Taoist priests to be correct, even if there are not these Taoist priests who have been dealing with gunpowder all year round, the Yang family also has human hands for experiments, and they can completely prepare it themselves, but it will take a little more time, and the role of these old Taoist priests is actually not much.
Yang Shen shook his head slightly, and said sincerely: "After all, these people have made great contributions to my Yang family, and I can't easily do this kind of thing of revenge." As long as they continue to do things for me, I will not only save their lives, but also give them glory and wealth. ā
Coming to this strange world, although Yang Shen didn't plan to be a saint, he had some bottom lines, and he didn't want to trample on them easily.
Fang Huaxiang said in a low voice: "It's his subordinate Meng Lang." ā
In his heart, he didn't know how to feel for a while. Perhaps it can be regarded as a blessing to encounter a somewhat benevolent Lord who seems to have such a mentality, he thought to himself.
Not long after, the three old Taoist priests came back one after another.
At this time, they all changed into a new set of Taoist robes, with ruddy complexions, white eyebrows and white hair, and long beards, so they looked like fairy wind and bones.
The three of them knew that Yang Shen would never let them come over to drink tea, so they stood in front of Yang Shen with a very respectful attitude, and even called cautious, looking like a dog's leg.
The age of the three of them is enough to be Yang Shen's grandfather, they put on such a pitiful look, Yang Shen was also a little unbearable, smiled bitterly, he waved his hand and said, "That's it, sit down." Don't worry, you are all great heroes of my Yang family, and my father will not treat you like this. ā
