Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Gunpowder Craft Is About to Emerge

Cao Ying didn't expect Zhao Yan to be so bold, she kissed herself directly, she only felt numb all over her body, and the whole person seemed to have been struck by lightning, standing there in a daze, her mind was blank. After a long while, Cao Ying reacted and saw Zhao Yan smiling next to her, which made her ashamed and angry, and her delicate little face was about to drip blood.

"You...... You...... How can you do that! Cao Ying wanted to scold Zhao Yan a few words, but for some reason she couldn't scold her, and even the anger in her heart quickly disappeared, which made her suddenly feel even more flustered, and after saying Zhao Yan's words without pain, she turned around and fled out of the bedroom.

In the morning, three more imperial doctors came to the palace, these three imperial doctors have been responsible for Zhao Yan's condition, and are also responsible for the examination of his physical recovery.

"The body of the king of the county is recovering very fast, and it can even be described as a god, and now in the old man's opinion, the body of the king of the county is healthier than that of ordinary people, and there should be nothing wrong!" The fat white old man of the three imperial doctors stroked his beard and said.

"Really, the third brother's body has fully recovered?" Princess Shoukang next to her heard the words of the imperial doctor, and immediately exclaimed in surprise, she has not left since she came last night, especially to discuss with Cao Ying how to postpone the age of marriage of the Song Dynasty woman, which makes Princess Shoukang have more reason to stay here, and it is estimated that she will be inseparable from Cao Ying during this time.

"Princess Qiyu, the body of the county king has indeed recovered!" The white fat old imperial doctor smiled at Princess Shoukang.

"Haha, that's great, this king won't have to drink that bitter medicine in the future!" Zhao Yan also laughed happily after hearing this, and then he grabbed the hands of the white fat imperial doctor again, and said with tears in his eyes, "Imperial doctor, my body has recovered now, so can I eat meat from today onwards?" ”

"Huh?" The imperial doctor didn't expect that the first thing a county king would do after he recovered from his illness was to ask if he could eat meat? This made the imperial doctor stunned for a moment before saying, "King Qiyu, there is no problem with your body, so you can naturally eat whatever you want!" ”

"Hahahaha~, little bean sprouts, go to the kitchen and let the nurse prepare, this king wants to eat roast whole sheep, roast duck, braised pork, sweet and sour fish today, ......" Zhao Yan excitedly reported a series of dish names, but he forgot that he was in the Song Dynasty, and most of the dishes he wanted to eat had not yet been clarified.

"Honestly, do you still have the appearance of a county king?" Before Zhao Yan finished the dish, Princess Shoukang stood up and pressed him to the chair and said, but she also knew that it was because Zhao Yan was so happy, so she was a little carried away, so she didn't reprimand him too much like before.

"Hehe, I can't help it, don't be surprised by the third sister!" Even if Zhao Yan sat on the chair, he was still writhing excitedly, and in the end, Cao Ying and Princess Shoukang sent the three imperial doctors out together.

"Little bean sprouts, what do you say we will eat at noon today? Be sure to satisfy your cravings! Taking advantage of the opportunity for Princess Shoukang and Cao Ying to go out, Zhao Yan asked about the little bean sprouts around her, and when it came to food, this little girl was a well-deserved senior foodie, and there were almost no snacks in the entire Tokyo city that she didn't know.

"Want to satisfy your cravings?" Little Bean Sprouts frowned and thought about it, and finally said with a fluttering eyebrow, "Then it's better to eat Jiao'er, Jiao'er has vegetables, meat and noodles, which is not only delicious but also nourishing, my favorite thing to eat is Jiao'er." ”

"Horn?" Zhao Yan felt a little familiar with this name, and when he heard the words behind the little bean sprouts, he immediately remembered and said, "Little bean sprouts, you said dumplings, this is a good idea, the so-called delicious dumplings are more fun...... Ahh ”

Time back to today's early morning, there is an official office outside the Tianbo Gate in the northwest corner of Tokyo City, a radius of ten miles belongs to the forbidden land of the official office, without the consent of the imperial court, no one is allowed to enter, and those who know the inside know that this official office is the place where the Great Song Dynasty made gunpowder weapons, that is, the gunpowder under the bow and crossbow courtyard, the gunpowder was also in the city, but because the gunpowder is too dangerous, the gunpowder has had several major accidents since its establishment, resulting in hundreds of casualties, In the end, the imperial court had to place the gunpowder outside the city alone.

Gunpowder mainly manufactures three kinds of gunpowder weapons, namely rockets, ** smoke balls, and tribulus fireballs, in order to produce these three weapons, gunpowder is also divided into three major regions, each area is responsible for the production of a weapon. However, in the middle of these three weapons production areas, there is a core area, where the best craftsmen of gunpowder are concentrated, and their daily task is to improve the power of gunpowder weapons in a way that is best of all.

Cao Chong is also responsible for improving gunpowder in gunpowder, originally from a background like him, even if he enters gunpowder, he is just a name, and he will naturally be promoted after a few years. However, Cao Chong is different from the ordinary generals, he really wants to do things in gunpowder, so after he came to gunpowder, he took the initiative to learn the manufacturing process of gunpowder weapons, and devoted himself to research, Cao Song was originally different from ordinary craftsmen, he received a good education since he was a child, and he was exposed to a wide range of knowledge, plus his brain was also smart, so he soon made some improvements to gunpowder weapons, which also made him completely gain a firm foothold in gunpowder, and no one dared to underestimate him.

In the early morning sun, Cao Chong stood anxiously in the courtyard, in front of him, there was a flat-bottomed tray, the tray contained a black-brown earth-like thing, when the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on the tray, Cao Chong's expression became more nervous.

Yesterday, after Cao Chong got the new gunpowder formula from Zhao Yan, he has been thinking about it in his heart, but at night, the more he thinks about it, the more he can't sleep, and he can't wait to prepare this gunpowder immediately to try the power, Cao Chong is a person who does whatever he thinks, so in the end he simply got up from the bed, said goodbye to his wife and rushed to the gunpowder overnight, and then called a few related craftsmen to work, although the craftsmen were a little dissatisfied, but Cao Chong couldn't take care of it much.

Under the personal command of Cao Chong, the craftsmen weighed the purified nitrate, charcoal and sulfur respectively according to the proportion provided by Zhao Yan, and then ground them into fine powder, and then mixed together after wetting them with water according to the method provided by Zhao Yan.

The wet gunpowder looked like a lump of black-brown mud, Cao Chong didn't dare to dry it with fire, so he could only wait until the sun came out to dry, and now the sun finally came out, and it was the hottest time of summer, plus the gunpowder mud was spread very thin with a tray, and it only took half an hour for the gunpowder to be dried.

Cao Chong carefully broke the gunpowder into small particles, and at this time, the blacksmith furnace also sent a few things he ordered, these things may be a little strange in the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty, but in the eyes of later generations, it is simply an iron trumpet pineapple, but the inside is hollow, this thing is the grenade shell designed by Zhao Yan.

The granular ** was poured into the grenade, and Cao Chong inserted the medicine twist prepared by the hydrogen, and tightly plugged it with a wooden stopper, and the most primitive grenade was made, because there was not much gunpowder for the first time, and there were not many grenade shells made by the blacksmith overnight, so only three grenades were made in the end.

"Cao Jianzao, what are you asking us to make?" Looking at the three grenades in front of him, one of the old craftsmen spoke, this old craftsman's surname is Liu, he is the head of gunpowder, known as Liu Zuotou, and Cao Chong is the supervisor of the bow and crossbow courtyard, and he is generally made for Cao, responsible for supervising the business and the quality of weapons in gunpowder making.

"This is a weapon made of a new gunpowder recipe, I just got it, I don't know how powerful it is yet, you all spread out, let me light one to try the power." Cao Chong explained briefly, then turned around and took a fire fold, and then took the grenade and put it in the open space in the courtyard.

The courtyard where Cao Chong is located is quite large, and there is nothing in the open space, so he feels that it is very safe to experiment here, but Liu Zuotou They are a little curious, so they suddenly surrounded again, fortunately, when Zhao Yan drew a grenade schematic diagram for Cao Chong, it was especially explained that this thing was very powerful, so the people around him must stay away during the test, so Cao Chong asked Liu Zuotou to take a few steps back, until they were more than ten steps away from him, Cao Chong put his mind at ease, and he immediately ran away after lighting the medicine twist, Then, with Liu Zuotou, they stood together and watched the power of this gunpowder weapon.

"Boom~" With a loud noise, Cao Chong only felt that the yard he was in was like being struck by lightning, and even the ground was shaking, and his two ears seemed to be deafened by this loud noise, and his head was "buzzing", and he couldn't hear anything for a while, and the yard was also full of dust, although the figures of Liu Zuotou and others around him couldn't see clearly, they seemed to be lying on the ground, as if someone was injured.

After a long while, Cao Chong stopped his swaying body, and he could finally hear the sound in his ears, but the courtyard was full of the ** sound of Liu Zuotou and others, which made Cao Chong no longer care about anything else, and hurriedly checked one by one, but there were two craftsmen who injured their thighs, and Liu Zuo's head was injured on his forehead, and they were all beaten by broken iron, but fortunately, the injuries were not too serious.

"Haha~, Cao Jianzao, our gunpowder is about to come out, I will go and ask the envoy to come over, this matter must be reported to several ministers and His Majesty!" Liu Zuotou was stunned for a while, then suddenly stood up, turned around and laughed while running, this kind of gunpowder weapon has the power of thunder, which can definitely attract the attention of the high-level of the Great Song Dynasty, and these people are naturally indispensable.
