Chapter Twenty-Seven: You Made a Firecracker in a Month?
In the northeast of the capital, thirty miles outside the city, there is a mountain range, where the strange rocks are craggy, and the people are inaccessible. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
One day, a team of 1,000 people appeared in this mountain range, and it took ten days to build a four-sided earth city.
Chen Guang rode a horse, with ten people behind him. This is a man who is Mo Tuo's assistant to him, proficient in Chinese.
"It's very fast, it seems that my old father-in-law is very urgent." Chen Guang rode a horse, looked at the Tucheng in front of him, which had begun to take shape, and said with a smile.
The others laughed and said nothing, and said in their hearts, isn't what this horse master said nonsense? How many years have we been oppressed by the Huns? If you are given a chance to destroy them, let alone ten days, even if you ask for one day, we will make ten times the strength for you.
Chen Guang only wanted to trouble the Huns because the Huns killed Wu Xin, but the people of the Yuan State didn't know how many border raids they had to suffer every year, and they already hated the Huns, and if they could kill them in the morning, they definitely didn't want to wait until the afternoon.
The group came to the outside of the earthen wall, where there were twenty people guarding the gate, and it was also clear from here how much Motuo valued this place.
"Your Highness." When Chen Guang arrived, they saluted together, although they spoke the words of Yuan Guo, but this title had to be heard many times a day, and they could already understand it.
Chen Guang smiled slightly and said, "No courtesy." The man in the back immediately said it in Yuan Guo's words, and these guards separated the two sides and let Chen Guang and them in.
The furnishings inside are similar to Chen Guang's requirements, and on the whole, Chen Guang is still very satisfied. I had just looked at all the places, and Mo Tuo didn't know when he came over, and after seeing Chen Guang, he said, "How is it, are you still satisfied?" ”
"It's okay, barely working. Now it's time for the raw materials, I've written them all here, you can have someone buy them and bring them over. Chen Guang didn't say a word, and directly threw out a list, to this father-in-law, Chen Guang felt that he was becoming more and more unkind.
"You're really welcome, you've commanded me." Although he said that, Motuo smiled, took the list and looked at it, and said, "Saltpeter? Charcoal? Cotton? Kerosene? Iron? And ...... "I can't get together any of the things in it, what the hell is this?"
"You will know when you buy it, remember not to get wet, if it gets wet, it will be wasted. Of course, you can't touch the fire, otherwise it will explode. ”
Soon, the things were bought and stacked in the warehouse, and Motuo began to teach people how to make grenades - this is one of the two pieces of equipment that Chen Guang asked the netizens in the live broadcast room to get.
Chen Guang's plan was to build a trebuchet and launch these things.
A month later, the warehouse was stacked with a lot of ready-made grenades and trebuchets.
In fact, Chen Guang was not here for most of the month, and he didn't stay long every time—because the gunpowder at this time was so easy to explode, and Chen Guang didn't want to stay here all day. But God forbid, there hasn't been a single explosion this month.
Today is the day that Chen Guang and Motuo agreed, Chen Guang came here in the morning, inspected the production results of the month, and said that he was basically satisfied, and then Motuo also arrived.
"A month has passed, how are you preparing?" This was the first question Motuo had after meeting Chen Guang. Motuo has been trying to see what Chen Guang is doing for a month, but every time he comes here, he will be rejected by the danger inside, and today Chen Guang finally stopped stopping him.
"It's ready, what, are you going to declare war on the Huns?" Chen Guang asked rhetorically with a grin.
When it came to declaring war, Motuo obviously had some lack of confidence, and sneered: "Haha, everyone has been safe and sound recently, and I just went to declare war, isn't it true?" If others say that I am unknown and come to me for trouble under this guise, wouldn't it be worth the loss? ”
When Chen Guang heard this, he immediately felt that he was in a groove, what kind of thing is this, didn't he say that he wanted to fight? Why did you end up being nameless again, didn't the Huns always violate your borders before, isn't this a famous division?
However, Motuo had something else in mind, although he seemed eager to send troops to the Huns immediately, but that would be very risky for him. He wasn't sure that these things made by Chen Guang were really as magical as he said, capable of destroying the Xiongnu in one fell swoop. Once it fails...... So he decided not to bet all his treasures on Chen Guang, which is a necessary consideration as a political figure.
Although Chen Guang is extremely depressed, but after being the prince for so long, he can probably understand the thinking of some of these people, and he doesn't force it, anyway, what he promised has been done, what he wants to do next, it's up to you.
"Your considerations are very reasonable, and I am very supportive of you." Chen Guang said.
Mo Tuo smiled and patted Chen Guang's shoulder and said, "Good son-in-law." Let's go, go into the palace, and have a drink with me. ”
"I think it's better to go to Honglu Temple, if you get drunk, someone will take you back to the palace, if I get drunk in the palace, then I can only sleep on the ground."
So the two came to Honglu Temple, and when they saw Motuo, Min'er was very happy, and hurriedly ordered the people below to prepare a table of good wine and food, and the three of them ate around the table.
"Can you tell me by now what you've been messing with all month?" After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Motuo finally didn't resist his curiosity and asked.
Chen Guang seemed to have expected this trick for a long time, he took out a thumb-sized red object from his pocket and said, "This is what I did." ”
"What is this?"
It was about the size of a little finger, wrapped in red paper, white on the inside, smelling a bit of sulfur, and a cotton thread stuck in it.
This is naturally the firecracker that is popular during the New Year and holidays in that world, and Chen Guang made one of these things, just to show Motuo.
Chen Guang took the firecracker, approached the candle on the table, lit the fire and immediately threw it out.
Min'er and Motuo both looked at the little red guy intently, flicked it on the ground, and then made a bang, which startled both father and daughter.
"Gone?" Motuo stared closely at the exploding firecracker, but the firecracker didn't react for a long time, and suddenly asked.
CHEN Guangdao; "It's gone."
"What's it called?"
"Firecrackers."
"It took you a month and 10,000 taels of silver to make this?" (To be continued.) )
