Chapter 164: Disturbing Dreams
So much gunpowder in a confined space, what if it explodes?
Zhu Youcheng's cold sweat flowed out at once, and he asked, "Is all the gunpowder in the capital stored here?" â
Gao Di smiled proudly and said, "How can it." This is only a very small part, most of the shells and gunpowder are stored in the gunpowder bureau of the ZĂ i Wang Gong factory. â
It was too careless, and the gunpowder was concentrated in one place, so it is no wonder that the world's first explosion of an arsenal occurred -- the explosion of Wang Gongchang, also known as the explosion of the apocalypse. On the sixth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the day after the Dragon Boat Festival, Wang Gongchang had a large explosion, with an explosion radius of 75o meters, killing more than 20,000 people, and the death of the deceased was tragic.
In fact, it is best to place the arsenal in a sparsely populated place, but unfortunately the city of Beijing has been besieged by aliens several times, and it will be troublesome if it is served by the enemy. So what exactly to do?
Zhu Youcheng pondered silently, and when he returned to the children's paradise, he wrote a note, talking about the hidden dangers of the arsenal of the Ministry of War and the gunpowder bureau of Wang Gongchang, and especially predicting the tragic image after the explosion of Wang Gongchang. Here, he proposed three constructions, the first was to split the Wang Gong factory, and split the gunpowder bureau into four, which were located in four directions of the city of Beijing, and each gunpowder bureau only stored a quarter of the gunpowder. In this way, even if a fire is accidentally missed, the power of the explosion is only a quarter of the original. The second is to try not to store the finished gunpowder, but to store charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur separately. Anyway, the craftsmen are all skilled. The daily output of gunpowder can reach two tons, and if the situation is urgent, additional craftsmen will be dispatched. The production of gunpowder will be greatly increased, and there is no need to worry about running out of gunpowder. The third is to place the research department for new weapons outside the city. In this way, the new weapon, even if it is unstable, will not harm civilians. Moreover, there are not many tools and finished products in the institute, so it is easy to transfer in case of emergency.
After writing the recital, he wanted to ask one of the guards to give it to Wei Zhongxian. After thinking about it, this matter is very important. Afraid that the guards would not be able to speak clearly, he took the guards to Wei Zhongxian's mansion in Tieshi Hutong.
It was nearly late at night. Wei Zhongxian had already fallen asleep, and when he heard Zhu Youcheng asking to see him, he put on his clothes and met him. After listening to Zhu Youcheng's report, Wei Zhongxian was also shocked. Hurriedly took him to the palace to ask to see the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse had already gone to bed, and when he heard Zhu Youcheng asking to see him, he thought that he was afraid of going to the front to fight, so he said: "Brother Cheng, if you don't want to go to war, just tell me, you don't need to rely on outsiders." It is important to know that the more people know, the more risk of leakage. â
Wei Zhongxian heard this. I couldn't help but feel a little jealous in my heart, and said secretly: "Okay, our family has become an outsider." Fortunately, Cheng'er is the grandson of our family. Otherwise, our family will have to do a black hand and bring him down......"
Zhu Youcheng was moved in his heart and said: "The emperor's grace to Weichen is engraved in Weichen's heart. However, Weichen's coming at this moment has nothing to do with the matter of Cangzhou. Today when I received artillery and ammunition at the military headquarters. Seeing the gunpowder piled up in a room reminded me of a dream I had some time ago. â
Then Zhu Youcheng said vividly. On the morning of May 6 next year, when Tatsumi intersected, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was about to eat breakfast, when he suddenly heard a loud noise, and felt that the ground was shaking. At this time, a tile fell from the top of the Jiaotai Hall and hit the inner servant. The waiter's brain burst and he died on the spot. The Emperor of the Apocalypse survived by hiding under a large table in the Jiaotai Palace. And the craftsmen who repaired the Jiji Hall and the Middle Pole Hall fell from the scaffolding and fell into a pulp. Outside the Forbidden City, black smoke filled the air, and tens of thousands of houses and people turned to dust with a loud bang. Yushi He Tingshu and Pan Yunyi were shocked to death; Dong Kewei, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, broke his arms; Xuanfu Yang Zongbing and his entourage are missing; The sedan chairs of officials Xue Fengxiang, Fang Zhuangli, and Wu Zhongwei were damaged. On Shijuma Street, a 5,000-thousand stone lion was thrown out of the Shuncheng Gate by the shock wave; The elephant house collapsed, and the elephant was frightened, ran out frantically, and trampled to death and injured many surviving people. Subsequently, human stumps kept falling from the sky, and it was a scene of apocalypse.
In his previous life, Zhu Youcheng was very curious about the occult, and he naturally knew it by heart, and he knew that the Indian Death Hill, the Wang Gongchang explosion, and the Tunguska explosion were the three major mysterious events in the world. Besides, at this time, Zhu Youcheng was not afraid to say the wrong situation at the scene.
Zhu Youcheng said it with emotion, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse was shocked and frightened when he heard it. In other words, if others were so alarmist, the Emperor of the Apocalypse would push that person out and behead the public. But it was his "sincere brother" who spoke, and he said it head-to-head, there was time, there was a place, and even the dead and wounded had names and surnames, as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes, how could the Emperor of the Apocalypse not believe it?
"Honest ...... Brother Cheng, are you telling the truth? â
"I don't know. I only remember that later, there was a very kind old man with white eyebrows and a white beard who asked me, do you see clearly? I replied, "I see it clearly." He just pushed me from behind, and I woke up. When I woke up, I forgot about the dream, and it wasn't until this afternoon that I vaguely remembered it. Zhu Youcheng knows the power of superstition and talks nonsense.
"That old man must be Emperor Taizu Gao, he is warning me. Although I am ordinary, I can be regarded as diligent and loving the people, why does God punish me like this? The Emperor of the Apocalypse remembered what Zhu Youcheng said outside the delivery room, believing that he was descending from the heavens, and automatically supplemented his words.
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Since Emperor Taizu Gao told Zhuang Yuanlang about the disaster in the future, he believed that Zhuang Yuanlang had a way to solve this problem. â
The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhu Youcheng with expectant eyes and asked, "Brother Cheng, is there a way?" â
Zhu Youcheng nodded firmly, and said: "Your Majesty, the location of the explosion in my dream is in Wang Gong Factory, as long as Wang Gong Factory is peaceful, Beijing City will be peaceful." â
As he spoke, Zhu Youcheng handed the chapter to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse opened the concerto, and the attendant hurriedly took down the candle and illuminated the concerto so that the Emperor of the Apocalypse could see it more clearly.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded while looking at it, his face was full of joy, and said: "Brother Cheng, only you, only you will come up with such a good way, and sure enough, it is the Heavenly Machine Star who came down to assist Da Ming." â
After reading the recital, the Emperor of the Apocalypse issued an order: "Go and call Dong Kewei, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry." â
The chamberlain hesitated: "Your Majesty, it's so late now, Lord Shangshu must be asleep." Would it be better to call him again tomorrow? â
"I'm saving his life right now. As you heard just now, if Wang Gong's Gunpowder Bureau exploded, he would first have his hands blown off, and then he would be removed from his post as a citizen. Now that Brother Cheng said this method and saved his life, shouldn't he hurry up and eliminate the hidden danger? â
The waiter went out in response to the sound and disturbed people's dreams.
Dong Kewei was definitely not the only one who was woken up tonight, there were many people.
Set the location, change the warehouse, transport the raw materials, move the gunpowder, and hurriedly finish this series of tedious things, and the time has reached the middle of the night on the fourth day. Everyone hated and scolded the person who raised this lack of morality.
But on the sixth day of the second month, the scolding stopped. Because of thousands of precautions, Wang Gong's factory finally exploded. Fortunately, only two tons of gunpowder were stored in the Wang Gong factory, and the explosion only blew up the four walls of the Wang Gong factory's gunpowder bureau, but did not hurt too many people except for the guards.
Dong Kewei worth mentioning. He was afraid that Wang Gong's factory would explode, so he stayed there all night. As a result, when it exploded, the shockwave tore his clothes to shreds, and he became the pioneer of naked running in the capital. In addition to being ashamed, he told the old man to return to his hometown. Xu Guang Qishun took his place and became the new secretary of the Ministry of Industry. This can be regarded as some people are happy and some people are worried. (To be continued)
