There are many, many time-travelers in history, and these time-travelers are generally divided into two kinds, one is to travel to the ancient times, and the other is to travel to the future. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Depending on the world or era you have traveled to, you will not be able to achieve the same things.

However, compared to those who have traveled to the future, most of the lucky people who have traveled to ancient times (of course, one or two unlucky ghosts who are killed as soon as they pass through are not counted) have lived a happy life of crushing the ancients with thousands of years of knowledge and three thousand beauties in the harem.

Of course, if you want to stand firm, you can't do it by seeing it, even if you strategize and win a thousand miles, but in ancient times, no matter how good your brain is, you have to give way to strength.

All right! No matter what era it is, no matter what the best brain is, it can't compare to absolute power, so it is very important for those who have traveled through the past and become alone.

For the fortunate or unfortunate people who have traveled through the past from the afterlife, the power of fire and gunpowder is like the imprint engraved in the depths of their souls, so that no matter how many lifetimes they are reincarnated, they still have the fear and yearning for the powerful power of fire and explosions in their hearts.

For example, the current Chen Jincai, as a person with strong hands-on ability, black powder, even the strongest black powder is not a matter for him, although black powder may only be used to make firecrackers for ancient people, but even during World War II, the powerful black dragon powder can still come in handy.

This by-product of the ancient alchemists' alchemy, after generations of improvements, even if the materials in it are still saltpeter charcoal and sulfur, but the accurate ratio obtained through countless experiments makes this very convenient and obtainable terrifying weapon that can open mountains and split stone and destroy the country to the limit it can reach, even in modern times, in the turbulent areas of some countries, there are even a large number of powerful earth planes made of black powder, and even the people who used to be beautiful have suffered this kind of loss.

So now, Chen Jincai is digging a well, no, it should be said that it is the mud that has been dug into the bottom.

The sulphur content of the hot springs, which was so hot that they could scald people to death, had reached an astonishing level, which was the conclusion that Chen Jincai had come to after using the mud at the bottom of the well to extract the sulfur he needed.

Chen Jincai locked himself in the house, he didn't want people to see when he was dispensing gunpowder, and the old man Wang Qi asked all the white hairs in all the places in the village that could grow white hairs to be shaved off, and now he was pouring them into a pot to purify them.

These white hairs are nitrate, which is very common in rural areas, and usually grows on the walls of toilets and livestock pens, where people or livestock have been soaked in urine.

This kind of white hair is called miscanthus nitrate, although it can also be used as a raw material for making gunpowder, but it is still not pure enough, put it in a pot to boil, and then pour out the nitrate except for the impurities at the bottom of the pot, and after drying, it becomes pure nitrate.

Sulfur is there, nitrate is there, then the next is charcoal, in fact, they all say charcoal, who knows that charcoal and charcoal are not the same, watering charcoal is not the same as covering kiln charcoal, pine charcoal is not the same as camphor charcoal, but willow charcoal is better than the two!

Sulfur, nitrate, and charcoal were ground into powder, mixed together in the best proportions, and then the gunpowder was made into small particles with egg whites, and then these things were packed into small jars, compacted, and put on the prepared fuse, and then all the stones the size of a thumb and the size of a child's fist were filled into the jars.

Less than fifty miles away from Wangjia Village, the hooves of the war horses were banging on the ground where the axes could only smash out a white mark that had been frozen by the cold wind, and the sky was already dark, but for these people who have lived on horseback since childhood, there is nothing terrible about this darkness, not that they are not afraid of the night, but that the horses under their seats know how to walk here.

They were the sand thieves, and the leader was a burly and rough man, the leader of this group of sand thieves, and the huge mace hanging on the side of the saddle was once the weapon of an iron harrier in Western Xia.

However, since that small group of iron harriers were killed by their own people, he has been invincible in this desert, the leader of the sand thieves thought to himself.

They are the kings of this land, more than 400, not more than 200 as Wangjiacun thinks.

More than 400 sand thieves are a powerful force in this desert, as long as it is not a large group of soldiers, even if it is a Western Xia army, as long as there are not many people, they dare to fight to the death, if the soldiers are far more than the sand thieves, then these sand thieves will flee into the desert, until the soldiers disappear and come out again.

Therefore, in this desert, their will is more important than the will of the emperors of the Western Xia, Great Liao, Great Song and other countries, but today their authority has been provoked.

When the dozen or so people from the water team ran back, the leader of the sand thieves was furious, how many years, how many years no one dared to provoke them like this, even if it was that kind of powerful caravan, it obviously had hundreds of guards, and it obviously had bows and arrows that were stronger than the standard bows and arrows in the Great Song Army, and after seeing them, they still didn't obediently send their share of contributions.

But today, a small village like a flea actually drew a knife against the water team he sent!

It was really unforgivable, and now his anger surged from the bottom of his heart, and he felt that if there was no blood of all the people left in Wangjia Village, he would not be able to extinguish the fire in his heart.

So tonight's Wangjia Village has already determined the end, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!

No one in Wangjia Village knew that the sand thieves had arrived not far from the village, and the women had already used sand and gravel and hot spring water at the entrance at the gate where they had left, and soon after the cold wind blew, it was already freezing tightly.

The half-zhang wide ice wall was already thick to the point of madness, and the height of two zhang and the slippery wall formed by the water splashing on it gave the women and children in the besieged city a rare sense of security.

Chen Jin only looked at the bamboos that came in from the ground, only he knew where the fuse in the bamboo was leading, maybe hell!

Looking at the dark sky outside, maybe tonight, there will be a massacre here!

Shaking his head, he scratched the white cow that had been following him step by step since he entered the ice castle, this was just a juvenile cow, although it was very strong, but it was still very much like a child emotionally.

Like Chen Jincai's feeling about it, maybe Bai Niu also knew that only Chen Jincai came from the same place as it, so he was always afraid that Chen Jincai would suddenly disappear, and he followed him as soon as it was dark.

Several children climbed on top of the white cow, they were still young, they all forgot that they had relatives who had just died this morning, and followed Chen Jincai on the back of the cow to distill the hot spring water, and the distillation utensils were of course the things that Chen Jincai used to steam wine in Jianlu.

The night was darker, the old horse brought murderous opportunities, the cold wind howled had already covered the footsteps of the horses, and the women and children who had been tired for a day slept soundly at the moment.
