When Zhang Ning said at the beginning, Liu Yi faintly guessed that a place could instantly become a sea of fire, except for fire or oil, I am afraid that there are not too many things that can be updated as quickly as possible, and Liu Yi also knew that long before the Han Dynasty, there was already gunpowder, but the technology of making gunpowder was in the hands of those people who practiced Dan outside the party, and it was not widely used in the people.
Zhang Jiao can also be regarded as a person who practices pills outside the party, and it is not surprising that he knows how to make gunpowder, he has already practiced drugs that can stimulate human physical energy, so he must be very proficient in practicing pills.
Such strange drugs can be practiced, so it is not strange to know how to practice gunpowder. Therefore, Liu Yi had a conjecture at that time, it is estimated that Zhang Jiao practiced a batch of substances similar to gunpowder that can be ignited and detonated, and buried these substances under his altar.
As soon as Liu Yi entered the vicinity of Caitan, he desperately sniffed with his nose and observed the ground with his heart to see if there was anything abnormal, and whether there was any smell of sulfur and gunpowder.
To Liu Yi's surprise, he didn't smell the smell of sulfur and gunpowder, but he smelled a faint pungent smell, which was the smell of oil!
Can you see oil in Middle-earth? Liu Yi is really extremely strange, it stands to reason that oil could not have appeared in Middle-earth so early.
Well, what Liu Yi didn't know was that in fact, oil has been available in China for a long time, and it was the first country to record the use of oil for oil drilling.
In the Northern Wei Dynasty, about 500 A.D., there were books on how to extract lubricating oil from oil. And the history of drilling oil wells to extract oil and using it will be much earlier, then. The Chinese use drill bits fixed to one end of a bamboo pole to drill wells to a depth of about a kilometer, and they incinerate oil to evaporate salt to make table salt. It can be seen that Liu Yi does not have a good understanding of the history of the emergence of oil in China.
So. Oil appeared in the Han Dynasty only a few hundred years before the Northern Wei Dynasty. You must know that the Han Dynasty was the era of the official rise of Chinese Han culture, and many technologies were developed and flourished in the Han Dynasty. After the Three Kingdoms, China entered and exited the chaotic era of Wuhu Chaohua, many science and technology did not advance but retreated, and many humanities and cultures. Therefore, during the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were still people who wrote books and said that the exploration and use of oil was definitely not unique to the Northern Wei Dynasty, but must be traced back to a much longer era, the Han Dynasty. It is the era when oil is most likely to be the first to be used, and it is not surprising that some people discovered and used oil during the Qin Emperor period.
But. At this moment, Liu Yi is indeed very strange, of course, strange and full of joy, because as long as there is oil, then there is a way to find it. With oil, many of the technologies on Lew's solar-powered mobile phone may be the first in the world.
Lewy even thought about it. Whether you want to get electricity, lights, engines, etc. Of course, to get these, it will take ten years, or even decades, to tell all the encyclopedia technology of solar mobile phones, so that people can develop them according to a goal, and after a long time. It's possible to really figure it out. With the current scientific and technological knowledge of the Han Dynasty, it is far from being able to produce and develop those things, and the school organized by Liu Yi has just been established, and some knowledge has not really been imparted, so it is too early to think about this.
However, because of the oil, Liu Yi decided to get the gunpowder out, after all, even if he didn't take the lead in using it, it would be used by the world sooner or later, since he knew, why didn't he use it first? Since we plan to unify the three kingdoms, we must do our best to reduce the loss of the vitality of the Han Dynasty With gunpowder, with oil, we can make some explosive bombs or something, so that we can no longer fight like in the past, when facing a fortified city, we must use human lives to attack, and at that time, as long as we blow up with gunpowder and the city wall falls, we can capture the city, which greatly avoids the excessive sacrifice of the soldiers on both sides of the siege war.
Well, if you really want to unify the three kingdoms, siege battles in the future will definitely be indispensable. Therefore, the application of gunpowder and oil is very important.
Liu Yi stood on the Cai platform, observing the entire Cai Tan attentively, and only after a long time did he say to the women on the left and right and Dian Wei: "You smell, do you smell any peculiar smell?" ”
"Smelly?" Dian Wei, the old man, couldn't help but sniff hard when he heard it, and said stupidly after a while: "What's the smell?" It's very fragrant. ”
"Get out!" Liu Yi stretched out his foot and kicked Dian Wei, girl, dare to eat his wife's tofu? Liu Yi was angry, "Go down and clean up the entire Cai Tan, remember, you can't make too much movement, you can't make too much vibration, especially you can't make sparks fall to the ground." ”
"Hehe...... Dian Wei didn't know if it was really stupid or stupid, so he walked down with a smirk.
These women of Liu Yi naturally knew that Dian Wei was saying that they were fragrant, but they all knew that Dian Wei was such a simple man, and now that he married a lady, it was rare to understand the fragrance of women, so they didn't blame him.
Geng Ling's girl's nose was very sensitive, Liu Yi deliberately smelled it, only to smell a trace of pungent oil from the mountain wind, she really smelled it, she said: "Really, why is there a pungent strange smell when the wind blows?" ”
"Right? See which way the wind is blowing from. Lewis turned his head around and looked at it.
"That's easy, you see." Geng Ling didn't say a word, took out a white silk scarf from his arms, let the silk scarf swing in the wind and said: "The wind is blowing from that hill, the south and west winds." ”
"Heh, I can't see that Ling'er has a way." Liu Yi snatched her silk scarf with one hand, put it on his nose and sniffed it: "Well, what Dian Wei said is good, it's really fragrant." ”
"Oops! You, you scoundrel. Seeing this, Ling'er's face couldn't help but turn red, and she stomped her feet to take it back.
"Don't give it, send it to me." Liu Yi stuffed the silk cloth into his arms, "It's so fragrant, keep it as a souvenir." ”
"What, what's the smell? Sister Yi Ji is fragrant, why don't you take her silk scarf...... Geng Ling was embarrassed to snatch it back, and stood beside Yi Ji with a red face.
"Haha, I just like Ling'er like this, and answer shyly." Liu Yi laughed at her, and immediately changed the topic and stood beside Yuan Qing. Stretched out his hand and pointed to the entire altar and said, "Sister Yuanqing, have you found it?" The whole altar seems to be tilted slightly to one side, and a little higher to the southwest. You see, don't you? ”
Yuan Qing and Yin Xiao are both observant people, one is an assassin, the other is engaged in intelligence, hearing Liu Yi say this, they stood in front to watch, and found that the entire altar was indeed as Liu Yi said. It's slightly inclined to one side.
"It's really strange, when Zhang Jiao built this altar, it seemed that he wanted to do it deliberately, whether it was a house or anything, ordinary people had to level the ground first, but here it was tilted, what did he mean by doing this?" Yin Xiao first felt strange.
"Don't be surprised, let's go and have a look. You'll understand in a moment. Lewy took the lead and walked down the altar again.
There is no need to rush the excavation, but the biggest safety hazard must be eliminated before it can be started. Now that Leo knew that there was oil here, he had to get these things out first, so that he could dig them with confidence.
The wind blowing from the southwest carried the smell of oil, and it is estimated that there was oil overflowing, so the smell came down the wind. The altar is sloping, and it is very likely that some mechanism is set up by Zhang Jiao, and if someone excavates the altar, it will definitely trigger the mechanism. Then the oil came from high to low, filling the whole altar, and when there was a fire, there would be a bang, and the fire would ignite, and it would cause a fire. Then those who are in the altar will not escape the fire. If the oil is ignited, if it is splashed on a person, it will only end up being burned alive.
If Liu Yi hadn't forcibly conquered Zhang Ning, and Zhang Ning hadn't told Liu Yi the secret of the altar, and he was greedy for money and rashly came to excavate, then even if Liu Yi himself could escape the fire, the soldiers who dug together would definitely die here, and the food treasures in the ground would also be burned by the fire, and Liu Yi would not get anything.
Let the sergeant carefully lead the way with a torch and search all the way to the chaotic post in the southwest.
At the bottom of the hill in the southwest, only about a mile from the altar, there is a cliff, and there seems to be a small cave between the cliffs, and the entrance of the cave can only be entered by two people.
Standing at the bottom of the cliff, Liu Yi and the others all smelled the smell of oil, and the smell seemed to emanate from the mouth of the cave.
The entrance to the cave is not high from the ground, only a little more than a zhang high.
Liu Yi ordered someone to get a ladder and climbed up.
Yuan Qing and the other girls couldn't help but be curious, and they also followed.
When Liu Yi climbed up, he had already noticed the bamboo pipes hidden between the cliffs, which should be the pipes that led the oil to the altar, except for a section between the cliffs, everything else was buried in the ground.
Of course, Liu Yi did not rush in, but used a spear to trigger the mechanism arranged in the cave, and there was a clanging noise, countless crossbow arrows were sent out from the shadows, and there was a spear array.
They were all shocked to see that there were so many dangerous mechanisms arranged in this cave.
The entrance of the cave enters, twists and turns, about ten meters, and then a turn, the eyes will light up, and suddenly open up.
Inside is a big hole, it is a natural stone milk cave, there are a lot of stalagmites hanging down on the top of the hole, under the firelight, it seems to be a kind of luminous light, it is very good-looking.
"Wow, it's so beautiful, I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful place in this inconspicuous hole, it's just...... It smells terrible. Geng Ling exclaimed a little happily, but he spoke tightly and covered his nose.
Now all the women cover their noses, because the smell of oil is indeed too pungent.
The cave is natural, but in this big cave zhōngyāng, a large pond was built artificially, and on the edge of the pond, many wooden barrels were stacked in a mess.
Liu Yi understood as soon as he saw it, naturally there would be no oil here, it should be where Zhang Jiao got it from, these wooden barrels are the wooden barrels for transporting oil.
Liu Yi handed the torch to the soldiers far away, and then took the women and carefully approached the pool full of oil.
"Have you ever seen anything like this? The weird smell is what it emits. ”
Lewy pointed to a pool of oil that seemed to be tumbling a little.
A pool of oil, Liu Yi doesn't know how much it estimates, but looking at the wooden barrels in the cave, I'm afraid there are as many as one or two hundred barrels.
"Husband, what is this, black, thick, and disgusting." The princess couldn't help but be curious, poked her head at the black pool, and then retracted and said.
Geng Ling glanced at Princess Changshe and Liu Yi, it was weird, but he didn't think much about it. "It seems to be oil, black oil." I've never seen such a black oil. ”
"Clever!" Liu Yiqinni slapped Geng Ling's back of the head and said, "That's right, this is oil." Originally, it was called black oil, but it was not ordinary oil, to be precise, it was called oil, and they were good things. Seriously, this is the real treasure, much more precious than the food and belongings under the altar. ”
"These black black oil are treasures? What's so good about them? And you can't eat it. It stinks to death. Huang Wudie turned her head and drove away, she was not interested in looking at the smelly oil.
"Oil? Why is it called oil? Stone oil? Geng Ling was a little stumbling and wanted to go over and take a look.
"Hehe, it's called oil, but it's not stone oil, and it's very useful, huh. I can't tell for a moment, but you'll know later. It was the first time for Liu Yi to see oil and crude oil, and he couldn't help but walk to the pool. He picked up a little gooey oil.
"Ah, it's so dirty, don't touch us with that stinky hand for a while." Seeing this, Huang Wudie ran away disgusted, and the women also retreated.
"Haha, if that's in ...... Well, anyway, this oil is more precious than gold. Lewi almost said that if he was postmodern, he would have been able to keep his mouth shut.
Zhang Jiao was able to get so much. It is estimated that he must have drilled somewhere, and it would be nice if he could find the original place of the oil, and I don't know if Zhang Ning knows it.
Liu Yi saw that the women were not interested in looking at it anymore, so he asked his soldiers to get some cloth, wiped his hands, and ordered: "Order someone to come in." Put this oil in wooden barrels, take care of it, and never get it into the oil on Mars, these oils, no more than the oil we use to light lamps, they can catch fire without a wick. ”
It is people who have curiosity or awe of some unknown things, Liu Yi took the women to see, and he held the oil in his hand, which was faintly explaining to the soldiers that there would be no harm in touching the oil, so that they could rest assured to fill the barrel.
In fact, if anyone is aware of these black oils, they may also have heard of them, which are also called "beads of devil's sweat" or "devil's blood". Anyway, it's not an auspicious statement, so Liu Yi is afraid that some people will not dare to approach this kind of oil.
However, no one in Liu Yi's personal soldiers seems to know about oil, and when they see Liu Yi, they dare to touch oil at will, knowing that it will not be a harmful poison, so they are all relieved to fill the barrel, but everyone is cautious.
It was not so fast to finish loading a pool of oil, so Liu Yi and the women left first, and when they arrived at the camp set up by Dian Wei, they let the women rest for a while.
By midnight, Dian Wei had already led people to clean up the entire altar, but most of the black oil had not been installed, and Liu Yi had to wait a little longer before he could start digging.
After more than an hour, more than 100 barrels of black oil were finally loaded, and the black oil had been removed. However, due to the fact that some of the casks were damaged, a small part was not finished.
Liu Yi thought about it and felt that that little bit of oil would not cause any more damage to him, so he decided to start digging.
In fact, loading up the oil is equivalent to breaking the altar protection array under the horns, as long as you take care of the mechanism buried in the ground, you don't have to worry about any danger.
Originally, according to what Zhang Ning said, there was a mechanism here that could open the door to the passage into the treasure room, but because Zhang Jiao was defeated and retreated to Guangzong, the mechanism had been destroyed, and the door of the passage could not be opened except for hard digging. Moreover, the mechanism was on the altar, and now that half of the altar was destroyed, it was impossible to open the door of the passage.
According to Zhang Ning, Liu Yi ordered people to start digging before the altar, so that they could find a passage to the treasure room if they dug down.
The soldiers dug up, and Liu Yi stood on the altar and watched the movement around him. The entire altar is actually a gossip formation, Liu Yi has not seen how the formation is, and I really want to see here what the mystery of this formation will be. Ordered Dian Wei to clean up the rubble in the altar, just to be able to clearly see what changes would occur to the altar when he started digging.
It's a pity that after the officers and soldiers defeated Zhang Jiao, the army came here to destroy it, making this gossip array not so complete.
Dian Wei accompanied Liu Yi to stand on the altar, and Yuan Qing, Yin Xiao, and Geng Ling couldn't sleep, so they also came. At the beginning of the excavation, there was no movement in the entire altar, only the sound of the sergeants digging ping-pong.
However, when they seemed to dig into something, Lewis on the altar clearly sensed that the entire altar seemed to tremble.
"My lord! We found some conditions, and we dug up masonry. The general below shouted.
Liu Yi's heart moved, and he immediately stood on the edge of the altar and shouted: "Everyone stop, stand still, no matter what happens, don't be alarmed." ”
As soon as Liu Yi's words fell, he heard some whining sounds coming from all over the altar, as if they were coming from underground, and then there was a booming sound everywhere, and clusters of sparks flashed and exploded in the altar.
With a coax, from the place where the sparks exploded, a fire suddenly erupted, and then spread rapidly, and one by one the snake-like fire snakes scurried around in the altar.
This sudden situation really stunned those sergeants, even if Liu Yi reminded the order, many sergeants shouted out in panic. (To be continued......)
