Chapter 206: Black Powder
Meng Yifei believes that the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and he has paid so much, it is impossible for these people to turn a blind eye. If the "pawn" will really abolish him and make him another king, then Meng Yifei will ruthlessly destroy the pawn he established with his own hands.
With fireworks, he has a guarantee, a guarantee of life, so the next Meng Yifei can let go and do it boldly.
After finding the oil, they rushed south, and the blackwater swamp was solemnly marked on the map.
There will be more surprises on the way forward.
Along the way, Meng Yifei saw countless creatures that he had never seen before, such as spirit monkeys, camels, beach sheep, wild horses and even wild wolves and tigers that Meng Yifei was extremely happy about, and this was their paradise.
Although it was a walk all the way, it still dazzled Meng Yifei, Helan Mountain, this is his Helan Mountain. He will use his ability and knowledge to develop this place perfectly.
Later, they came to a forest with dense vegetation, and even in winter, the plants were still green. Here, they found many herbs, Meng Yifei is a doctor, after seeing these treasures, almost can't even walk.
This place, just perfect.
This is the emotion he has repeatedly emphasized, and it is not in vain that he Meng Yifei has paid so much price.
Finally, before nightfall, they reached the southern rolling mountains. Here, there are countless veins.
Helan Mountain is located in the seismic zone, so this section is very rich in mineral resources, which is also what Meng Yifei is looking forward to the most, because the crustal movement caused by earthquakes often generates many ore veins.
Although it was getting late, Meng Yifei still insisted on seeing more mines.
As soon as I arrived in the south, I found the first mine, which was shaped like a pen frame, and this is Helan Bijia Mountain, which can mine Helan stone!
Helan stone has a uniform structure and a delicate texture. Rigidity and softness are suitable, and it is a very rare stone. The Helan inkstone carved with it has the advantages of ink, ink storage, protection and durability.
This is a famous treasure in the world, and this mine is even more valuable. The first mountain he saw was a treasure, and Meng Yifei was even more looking forward to the mines behind.
Not long after, Meng Yifei saw the coal mine mentioned by the knife mantis.
After this mountain, it stretches for several kilometers, and a section is crossed, and you can see the black coal several meters high in the middle layer. This is almost close to the mine of an open-pit coal mine, and Meng Yifei immediately highlighted its existence. This is a coal mine mountain found less than three miles after the discovery of Helan Stone.
Besides. Yifei and others discovered sulfur ore in a large crack canyon after an earthquake, and it was in this same canyon that they also found saltpeter mines.
Before Yifei could delve deeper, the wine glass knife mantis grabbed and ran straight to the gold vein he had discovered earlier.
"Your Majesty, it's here, it's almost there, there's really a gold mine ahead." The knife mantis pulled Meng Yifei out of the canyon. It didn't take long for him to turn a mountain col, and on top of a fault, Meng Yifei saw the layers of golden light shining. Under the golden glow of the setting sunset, it sparkles.
"That's the gold mine?" Yi Fei was stunned for a moment, he saw a gold mine for the first time, and took a closer look. In the earthy yellow soil, there are lumps of distributement, although they are not pure. But a golden metal object that is as round as grease. Isn't this what gold ore is?
Meng Yifei knocked out a lump with his sword, scraped the surface soil, and what came into view was a fist-sized lump of gold ore. The gold is so full that it almost covers the whole stone, and the gold content of such a lump of ore accounts for nearly half of it. This is definitely a top-of-the-line gold vein.
"Speaking of which, this mountain really looks like an ingot!" Meng Yifei looked at the mountain in front of him, tried his best to suppress his joy, and sighed at the magic of this mine.
He didn't know about mines, and he didn't know how to find veins, but just by walking around like this, he found such open-pit veins, and the mines hidden in the shadows were not even more abundant?
Helan Mountain is such a magical place!
Meng Yifei sighed again. This is the seventh time he has sighed at the richness of Helan Mountain today, and the discovery of gold has undoubtedly given Loulan the capital of a strong country.
It's a pity that the Turks guarded this treasure land, but they didn't know how to develop it, and now they had to hand it over to others and let him Meng Yifei enjoy all this.
The knife mantis also began to dig gold in a frenzy, and dug more than a dozen lumps in the blink of an eye, but such a large mine, where can he finish digging.
"Your Majesty, there are many gold mines, but they are too difficult to dig. There are only a thousand people, and in addition to building a country, they also have to hunt, farm, fish, and dig that oil. ”
The question raised by the sword mantis is also a concern for everyone.
After hearing this, Meng Yifei pursed his lips and smiled: "Record this mine!" Let's find a place to rest first, it's not getting early. ”
As the sun sets, the mantis is in charge of finding a cave for everyone to rest. He then lit a fire, but the cave was damp and the fire would be extinguished in a few moments.
Seeing this, Yifei poured the pure oil from the bamboo tube on the damp firewood, but after a while, the fire gradually increased. Seeing this, the knife mantis couldn't help but pat his head: "Why did I forget this stubble, this black water is really amazing." ”
"Yes, these are all gifts from nature, and as long as we rely on nature, we will naturally build an amazing kingdom." Meng Yifei also sighed with some emotion, in the final analysis, the survival and development of human beings depend on nature.
"Then what are our plans for tomorrow, Your Majesty?"
"Tomorrow, tomorrow, you and Han Ghost and Bi Long, the three of you take the map, go to find a new mine, find one, mark one on the map, after tomorrow, I should go back to Huaiyuan, and then the three of you will go to meet your people."
"Huh? Isn't Helan Mountain unattended? ”
"Hehe, can you three take care of it again? Don't worry, I'll let my soldiers come to see the mountain in person. "Meng Yifei has been prepared for a long time. In the past two days, he has strengthened the deployment of the eastern and southern parts of Helan Mountain, apparently to surround Ashina Hao in Helan Mountain, but in fact, it is to protect this area in disguise and prevent outsiders from entering.
Only when the Loulan people arrived, they were able to start the construction of Helan Mountain. So now is not the time, and now is the New Year, Meng Yifei can only postpone the plan to establish Loulan until the next year.
This night, Meng Yifei lay in Sang Zi's arms and slept like a pig. And Sang Zi enjoyed this man's childish way of sleeping, remembering when he was still Lechuan. In Baibi, he slept in the same bed with Yifei, once he fell asleep, he would come and go, kick the quilt, and roll uncomfortably, at that time he would cover him with a quilt, and he would hold him quietly, but after a while, he would stop.
By the light of the fire, the sword mantis saw the smile on their faces when they saw Sang Zi's memories on the other side of the fire. I couldn't stop laughing secretly.
"I knew our queen would be conquered by our king."
"Yes, this is also the expectation of all of us, and when the clansmen are here, we will all hold a grand wedding for the king and the eldest sister."
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful of being deposed by the queen of your Pu knife." Bi Long splashed the sword mantis with cold water.
"You guy, do you want to fight?"
"Come on, I haven't done it for a long time, why don't you try?" The two often quarreled, often inexplicably.
This time. When the two of them were about to make a move, they suddenly felt a cloud of cold air around them, and when they looked back, they only found that Sang Zi was looking at the two of them with cold eyes at the moment.
"Woke him up. I'll scrap you both! Sang Zi frowned, and the two of them instantly quieted down, losing their temper like two aggrieved kittens.
"The queen is indeed the queen." Han Ghost Leng Sensen glanced at it twice, and then fell asleep. If you dare to say more, you will definitely be bombarded.
The sword mantis and the dragon also went to lie down quietly and fell asleep, in their eyes. Sang Zi is the queen, this woman with a crescent moon in the corner of her eye, no one dares to mess with her, she is obviously such a strong queen, but she was finally conquered by a cheesy man like Meng Yifei.
The next day, according to Yifei's arrangement, Knife Mantis and the others began to look for more open-pit mines with the map, and there were many surprises waiting for them to discover the treasure land of Helan Mountain.
And he took Sangzi to the mines he had seen yesterday.
When the knife mantis asked him how to mine yesterday, Meng Yifei immediately thought of gunpowder.
Gunpowder was a kind of medicine in ancient times, so with the word medicine, Meng Yifei naturally knew about the preparation of gunpowder. Sulfur, potassium nitrate, charcoal.
Coincidentally, Meng Yifei encountered these three ores yesterday.
Sang Zi didn't understand Meng Yifei's intentions, but she followed him quietly all morning, watching him carefully grind the powder of these three ores. She didn't ask him what his role was, because she believed that Meng Yifei must have done something great.
Yifei grinded sulfur, saltpeter, and black charcoal into powder, and then put them into the bamboo tube one by one according to the proportion, which really helped him a lot.
Just like making firecrackers, Meng Yifei made this big firecracker. Finally, he drilled a hole in the firecracker bamboo tube, then used the flammable clothing thread on his body to make a fuse, and finally sprinkled some flammable charcoal ash on the fuse.
"Sang Zi, be careful, you hide first." Yifei didn't know if this thing could be blown up, but for the sake of safety, he still took Sang Zi to a relatively distant place first, and then ran back to the open-pit gold mine with a big firecracker. Stuff large firecrackers into the loess.
Then Meng Yifei lit a torch prepared in advance, and walked towards the big firecracker with a little nervousness.
"Uh." Yifei's throat moved, he really hadn't tried this dangerous thing. If you succeed, you will naturally solve a lot of things, and if you fail, you will have to spend a lot of brains.
"It should be fine." Meng Yifei gave himself courage, and then brought the torch closer to the fuse with trembling hands and feet.
Not only Yifei was nervous, but Sang Zi was also inexplicably flustered, although she didn't know what Meng Yifei was doing, she always felt very dangerous, so she got closer. At this time, Yifei finally mustered up his courage, and the flame of the torch was set on the fuse.
"Run......" Meng Yifei shouted, turned around and spread his legs, "The first time you play with explosives, you must explode, you must!" ”
