"Yes, yes, this time I have an explanation for beating my brother." The telescope was successfully built, Qin Baichuan was still very happy, the academy was more than Ou Jinhua at the beginning, and he sent a sergeant to send him to Jiangling afterwards, and this kindness could not but be repaid.

Qin Baichuan was satisfied, the two Westerners were greatly encouraged, and Abraham muttered a series of Western words, which meant that they were not very familiar with Da Song, and the transportation was not convenient, and they could not find suitable ores, otherwise they would definitely improve the quality of the telescope.

Although Qin Baichuan attaches great importance to this kind of auxiliary battlefield prop, it is not as important as the fire gun, so he decided to match the two of them with some manpower and specially collect ores for the two to analyze, Qin Baichuan got down to business. After organizing the language a little, Qin Baichuan said in Western dialect: "I came to the two of you today to discuss something with you." With that, Qin Baichuan asked for the fire gun from Old Man Chu and handed it to them.

“Thisis…… Hackbut！ Juggul had studied these things, and when he saw the drawings, he exclaimed, "No, No, No, Thisgunismoreadvancedthanthehackbut!" ”

"Little Brother Qin, what kind of bird language is he talking about?" Although Old Man Chu didn't understand what he was saying, he thought that what he was referring to must be a fire gun.

"Oh, they say your arquebus, old man, is similar to their arquebus, but it's much more advanced than their arquebus." Qin Baichuan scratched his head, it seems that he has seen it in film and television dramas before, when China used firecrackers in history, other countries used fireropes that could be hung around the neck in terms of trigger devices, which was stronger than the trigger method of firecrackers, but it was not as good as his trigger pull.

"It's just nonsense, how can the things of the Celestial Empire lag behind the barbarians?" No matter how enlightened Old Man Chu is, he has some feudal thinking of locking the country.

"Mr. Qin, this gun is a drawing drawn by your own hands?" Zhu Geguli's face changed, although he could not understand the language and writing, but he could understand the structure of the musket, and his heart was shocked, he asked nervously. In fact, during this time, he saw the industrial model of Da Song, and he was quite unimpressed, in terms of productivity, he had lagged behind their country, but now this weapon of war was beyond a large margin, and he suddenly dared not underestimate it anymore.

"It's not me, it's Old Man Chu." Qin Baichuan pointed at the old man, quite a little understanding of Zhu Geguli's thoughts, and he said: "We are a country of etiquette, and we are modest and cautious, unlike your country, if you have something good, you have to show off, as if you are afraid that others will not know it." ”

Zhu Geguli nodded again and again, what Qin Baichuan said was unfathomable, and he didn't dare to despise it.

"You have been in Dasong for a long time, you should know that Qin is a businessman, and what he does is also a business that Tong Su does without deception." Qin Baichuan's face was serious, and he planned to tap their value: "In the past month, you have eaten and drunk for nothing here, and Qin Mou has not bothered with you in the face of the telescope. But from now on, what skills do you have to use to prove that Qin has the need to continue to support you? ”

Qin Baichuan's Western dialect was not very fluent, for fear that they would not understand, and added: "If you are worthless, or only have the ability to build telescopes, then don't blame Qin for throwing you into the river to feed the fish." ”

Juggul showed a strange expression, and said a lot of words, and finally shook his head, with a helpless expression. He spoke a little faster, Qin Baichuan couldn't hear it clearly, but he probably understood the meaning, he said, there is a saying in Da Song called "Zhi En Tu Bao", if he hadn't met Mr. Qin, they would have died long ago. Now that they are far away from home, they have nothing to rely on, and they have the heavy responsibility of preaching, so they must rely on Mr. Qin. Therefore, if Mr. Qin has anything to say, there is no need to scare them, otherwise they will think that Mr. Qin is hypocritical.

Qin Baichuan also smiled bitterly, Westerners speak directly, and they are even more outspoken about what they want, not like Da Song who cares about any etiquette and etiquette. Zhu Geguli said it so clearly, Qin Baichuan didn't hide his secrets, searched his intestines and found the words, and even said that he wanted to build a fire gun, hoping that they could give some suggestions.

The two Westerners were not ambiguous, especially Zhu Geguli, who was originally an expert in weapons, and even pointed out some irrationalities in the structure of the gun, he focused on the problem of continuous firing of the chamber, and proposed that mixed materials could be used to improve the toughness of the chamber, and the loop structure could be used to reduce the recoil of the explosives. After saying this, Zhu Geguli also confessed his doubts: "Mr. Qin, the only thing I can't understand about this gun is that this trigger is bracketed, there is no fuse, how to detonate gunpowder?" ”

"That's what I'm looking for you for." The connoisseur knew if there was one as soon as he made a move, although he didn't understand some professional terms, but from Zhu Geguli's words and expressions, he also knew that this product was no stranger to guns, which was equivalent to finding an assistant for the old man, and he said seriously: "Have you ever heard of 'phosphorus'?" I can't say this kind of thing, it may be extracted from stones, ashes, the ignition point is very low, and there are many ghost fires in the cemetery......"

"Ghost fire?" Abraham spit out two words from his mouth, muttered for a long time, his brows stretched, and suddenly said: "Mr. Qin, you are talking about that substance, but phosphorus?" ”

"What is this?" Qin Baichuan hesitated, there must be some differences in translation between Western and Da Song, Qin Baichuan didn't know much about this word, and he didn't know if it was the phosphorus he wanted.

"It's a beautiful white substance with a soft texture that shimmers in the dark." Abraham was more proficient in these wonderful things than Jugguli, and his last sentence dispelled all Qin Baichuan's concerns: "If it is placed in the air, it will burn when it is combined with oxygen!" ”

"Yes, yes, it's it, it's it, that's it!" Qin Baichuan almost jumped up, the key to hindering the success of the fire gun was this phosphorus, but after the excitement, he was afraid of disappointment, and said tentatively: "Have you just heard of it, or can you refine it?" ”

"Mr. Qin, if I know the refining method of phosphorus, can it be regarded as showing value?" Abraham smiled proudly, just now Qin Baichuan said to throw them down to feed the fish.

"Valuable!" Qin Baichuan gave a thumbs up decisively.

"That'll do." Abraham breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "In our West, there is a profession called alchemist, and they believe that they can turn stones into gold, and some people regard it as a lifelong career. ”

Qin Baichuan nodded, the alchemist was similar to the alchemist of Da Song to some extent.

"The thing you are talking about was discovered by a German doctor and alchemist Blond 230 years ago, it is said that this guy was born poor, but he was lucky, he married two wives with more than gold, and he had no worries about food and clothing, so he studied the way of alchemy all his life." Abraham explained: "He believed that the human body was seventy percent water, that water could multiply, that it was a wonderful substance, and that gold could be made out of the water of the human body." ”

"So Brown began to collect urine, doing research that he had never done before, and he didn't have enough urine, so he went to collect it from his relatives and friends, and he went to the army to collect it, in short, he collected a lot of urine, and put it in a tank at the mouth of the city, and after the foul smell of precipitation, there was some syrup-like liquid floating on the surface of the urine, and he took it out and refined it by distillation." Abraham said with emotion: "It was one night, when Blond entered the laboratory, he saw a green glow in the test tube, which was phosphorus, or maybe the 'phosphorus' in the mouth of the gentleman. ”

"Extracted from urine?" Qin Baichuan's eyes widened, I remember what TV I watched, didn't I say what saltpeter was extracted from the urine? How can white phosphorus still be refined?

"Yes!" Abraham nodded vigorously: "Later, after the research of Westerners, a substance called philosopher's stone was discovered, which can also be refined, and the texture is more pure. If you want to use phosphorus as a detonating device, I think the flexibility of the firebolt will be improved like never before! ”

"Oh oh, no matter what it is, as long as you can refine white phosphorus, even if you have a great achievement!" Qin Baichuan stretched out his hand into his arms, wanting to reward a little silver to stimulate their enthusiasm for work, but thinking that the excitement of these two goods might not be here, he withdrew his hand again: "This matter is done, I will personally go to the Bliss Sect, you explain the teachings, I will translate for you, and then give you at least twenty believers, how about it?" ”

“Really？” The two Westerners were really overjoyed.

"Of course, Qin has never been true to his word!" Qin Baichuan also smiled secretly in his heart, it is not easy to find a few believers, there are so many people in the Bliss Sect, as long as they are instructed to follow the two of them to learn the movements, they don't even need to spend money.

"Okay, we've got that on our side." Abraham said in a big way.

With the help of Abraham and Zhu Geguli, Qin Baichuan was even more confident in making the best performing firecracker in this era, Old Man Chu went back to rest before sleeping all night, and Qin Baichuan ran before and after, arranging various affairs. First of all, the old man said that Fu Python Mountain would be used as his arsenal in the future, and he immediately sent people to send an order to put all the craftsmen recently collected by the Bliss Sect into the second echelon, and undergo strict training together with those teenagers who were eliminated and prepared to serve as security forces in the future;

Secondly, he ordered people to go to the Bliss Sect, the Splendid Villa and even the Wangjiang Tower, anyway, as long as there are free manpower, let them come, and give them a total of two tasks, one is to find stones all over the world to bring back to the Chu family workshop, and the other is to collect urine in the whole range, the more the better;

Again, the firecracker has been mentioned on the agenda, so gunpowder is indispensable, this matter Qin Baichuan directly threw to Tan Jiaotou, and ordered him to use all the resources of the Lord to buy sulfur, saltpeter, and high-quality charcoal; In the end, he ordered the two Westerners to suspend their missionary affairs, and before the raw materials were in place, they worked overtime to build the telescope, and when the raw materials were in place, they had to devote themselves to the research and development of the firecracker!

Qin Baichuan ordered one after another, and the number of words in each task was not much, but the scope involved was too wide, and almost everyone didn't know what kind of trick Qin Baichuan smoked this time. However, his order was conveyed suddenly, needless to say, the Bliss Sect was Qin Baichuan's direct force, and Quxi of the Splendid Villa did not hesitate, plus the family members of the Chu family's workshop, within one day, seven or eight hundred people were dispatched, and they were all over the world.
