Chapter 114: The old man in the middle of the rule spares his life

Liang Ergou said such things in front of Liu Cong, and at this time he became bolder, and he was no longer as restrained as when he first came, so he spoke casually.

He heard Liu Cong talk about the explosion of the Hengyunguan Alchemy Furnace, so he said: "But it's going to explode." These elixirs are made from sulfur charcoal. This sulfur charcoal is something that loves to burn. Put it in the stove and roast it with a fire, and after a long time, the water vapor runs out, and there is only sulfur charcoal left, can he not burn? Can it not explode? ”

When the hunters heard this, they all nodded in approval.

In fact, Liu Cong is clear about the principle of gunpowder explosion.

He brought up the issue here in order to get the hunters to help find the sulphur deposits.

As for how to make gunpowder, it was the task of the old Taoist Wu Yiqing, and Liu Cong didn't expect at this time that these hunters would make gunpowder.

Liu Cong pretended not to understand, and then asked: "Just this charcoal and sulfur, put it in the fire and barbecue, it can explode, it's really incredible." ”

Orion Liang Ergou said: "Oh, my lord in the middle of the country." There's nothing strange about that.

We've been setting off fireworks here for years.

In fact, this elixir exploded in the furnace, just like setting off fireworks. ”

"Fireworks?" Liu Cong heard Liang Ergou say this, and he remembered that on the night of the Lantern Festival before the crossing, the whole village gathered around the village to watch the fireworks.

The fireworks soared into the sky, presenting a splendid scene in the air, which was truly charming.

Thinking of this, Liu Cong asked these hunters from 2,000 years ago: "You also set off fireworks?" ”

Liang Ergou looked at Liu Cong and asked, "The old man in the middle of the rule wants to see the fireworks?" It's very simple, and you can make a cast in no time. ”

"The raw materials for pyrotechnics and gunpowder are basically the same?" When Liu Qing heard this, he doubted the time of his gunpowder invention: "It is recorded in the history books that in which dynasty did the Chinese invent gunpowder?" It seems to be in the Song Dynasty. The use of assault muskets in warfare, as well as rockets, were all in the Song Dynasty, right? ”

Liu Cong couldn't remember accurately for a while.

However, one thing is certain, the time of invention of gunpowder recorded in later history books is definitely not in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But. Mom, after I crossed over, this was in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, why did the hunters here already know how to make fireworks? Is this history book wrong? ”

Thinking of this, Liu Cong glared at everyone carefully, and muttered, "It won't be wrong at all." I'm just back in time to the end of the Han Dynasty. However, this does not match the historical records. ”

Liu Cong suspected this, so he seemed to be a little enlightened, and said to himself: "That's right. History cannot be fully trusted, especially dates, and there is no need to be pursued.

Maybe in China, gunpowder was invented a long time ago!

Liang Ergou and Wu Yiqing are definitely not the inventors of gunpowder, they are just users of gunpowder. ”

Liu Cong had a headache when he thought of this, but he suddenly remembered "Ge Hong", and he thought: "Is the inventor of gunpowder Ge Hong?" However, Ge Hong is not a person of this era!

How are history books written indiscriminately?

Damn. Those royal literati were also fabricated out of thin air at home.

Hehe, the historians of later generations, who have the leisure to travel to future generations for research, can't do it. ”

Liu Cong thought of this and felt that he was thinking a little too much, so he scolded himself: "When I hear these messy things, I love to study." It doesn't matter which fucking dynasty invented it! What Lao Tzu wants is practical! ”

"Lao Tzu is going to use gunpowder to conquer Fancheng. Daoist Wu and Orion here will make gunpowder, okay, what's next? It's to give them the conditions to make gunpowder for me. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Cong directed the conversation to the production of gunpowder: "The raw materials for making fireworks, Master Ergou, where do you buy them?" ”

As soon as Liang Ergou heard that the master of Zhizhong called himself Master, his mind immediately became dizzy, and after being dizzy for a while, he became extremely excited and replied: "Lord Zhizhong wants to see the fireworks set off?" ”

"I didn't want to look at it yet, I was just curious. You answer my question - are there any ingredients for making it? ”

"Yes! After that, there is a sulphur mine on the mountain, and whoever wants to use it will dig some and bring it back. There is no shortage of this thing, we hunters, who doesn't use a ten-pound or eight-pound one in a year? ”

"You set off fireworks?"

When Liang Ergou heard this, he looked straight at Liu Cong, looked at it for a while, and then laughed, and said, "Master, what's so surprising about setting off fireworks?"

We hunters went to the mountains to dig some sulfur and came back, not only to make fireworks, but also to make fireworks. We are making fried, making fried fried, hunting.

Whichever family comes down in a year, it has to use ten catties and eight catties of sulfur. ”

Liu Cong was completely stunned and sighed: "Damn! Gunpowder had already entered the practical stage at this time! I'm afraid it's not just this time, but the practical time has to be pushed back. ”

When Liu Cong thought of this, he no longer cared about the time, and hurriedly urged: "Master Ergou, hurry up and tell me how to make the fried." ”

Liang Ergou got serious and said carefully from the beginning, he said: "You have to be careful in making fried seeds, if you are not careful, you will suffer."

Lao Chen, a hunter in Shanbei, made fried seeds at home, made more than a dozen catties at once, and put them in the house to dry in the shade, but he didn't know how to fall on the spark, and the explosion sounded, blowing up the four houses of the family, and his wife and children died. As for Lao Chen, he cultivated the land in the distance and did not hurt himself.

It's amazing, these things are all fiery objects, so you have to be careful to make them. Otherwise, it'll give you a look! ”

Liu Cong wanted to listen to the production process and process of the fried seeds, and he didn't want to listen to the precautions, so he secretly scolded: "Who listens to you pull the outer chapter!" He urged: "Master Ergou tell me quickly, how to make it?" ”

Ergou said: "It's very simple, grind the sulfur white crystal powder and charcoal, mix them up in proportion, put them in a pot and roast them over a warm fire to remove the moisture, and then hug them into a ball of paper as needed." Then wrap the wax oil and let it cool to make it deeper. It's as simple as that. ”

"So you can blow up the beast?" Liu Cong asked.

"Of course. Yes, it is also important to note that when wrapping in wax oil, wrap the gunpowder wrapped in paper with hemp silk in advance, and then wrap it in wax oil. ”

Liu Cong agreed, and asked, "So you can blow up the beast?" ”

Liang Ergou laughed and asked with a smile: "Don't you believe the old man in Zhizhong?" ”

"You explain it to me, and I will believe it."

"Okay. We took the bomber with us and went to the way where the beasts were infested, put the bomber in the bait, and then put the bait in the right place. Just go home and wait.

Stay for a while and go back to see, and eight times out of ten, the prey will die nearby.

Tigers, dogs, bears, and other big prey are often killed.

On a few occasions, I have killed wild boars. It's bigger than any domestic pig. ”

Liu Cong was anxious and scolded: "Your mother's Liang Ergou, did you deliberately hang me." I'll let you tell me how to blow up the beast, why do you keep pulling the extra story? ”

When Liang Ergou saw Liu Cong angry, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "The grass people are guilty of death." The lord of the rule spares his life, spares his life. ”114
