"Flame nitrate 112 coins, toner 224 coins, sulfur 224 coins...... This is your Shenxiao Sect's secret ingredient for gunpowder? ”

In a small and secluded workshop made of gunpowder by the right army of the artillery army, Chen Dexing, who was ready to prepare ** by himself, took over a neatly folded talisman from the hand of Taoist Ren, on which someone wrote in red letters a gunpowder formula that was quite close to the best formula of gunpowder theory - obviously, this is a secret recipe passed on to his son by a certain old Taoist of the Song Dynasty!

"No, this is not a gunpowder formula," Daoist Ren told Chen Dexing in a rather affirmative tone, "This is the High Divine Xiaoyu Halal King Zishu Lei Fa!" It is the secret method that our Shenxiao Sect ancestor Chong and Ziwang Zhenren obtained from the fire master Wang Jun and the electric mother, and it can be used together with the talismans and scriptures of our Shenxiao Sect, which can serve ghosts and gods, cause thunder and lightning, and call for wind and rain......"

What the? What the? Serve ghosts and gods, bring thunder and lightning, call for wind and rain...... Chen Dexing was inexplicable when he heard this, and was stunned for a while before he said, "Daoist, are you really right?" ”

"Of course it's true! That's the secret method passed down to me by my family! Daoist Ren looked proud. Our Shenxiao Sect is thriving because of this. ”

"Well, tomorrow I will recommend you to the Privy Council as an official, and you will use this...... What a secret method to cause thunder and lightning, a thunderbolt pulled the Mongol Khan Meng Gelei to death. ”

Daoist Ren didn't seem to know that Chen Dexing was teasing him with words, so he just sighed when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "Qingzhi, you don't want to eliminate harm for the country?" But there are also high-ranking people around the Great Khan of Tartars! ”

"Superior? How tall? ”

"Of course, it is a very high master, listen to my old Tao, there are two masters around the Great Khan of Tartars, one is the sixth generation of the Quanzhen Sect to teach Zhenren Qing and Zhenren Yin Zhiping!"

Yin Zhiping? Isn't it the one of the little dragon girl? Why is there really such a person? I don't know if there is any Yang, if there is, the Mongol Khan will hand it over to him to solve it......

Chen Dexing shook his head, drove these unrealistic years out of his mind, and asked casually: "Is there another master who is the Golden Wheel Dharma King?" ”

"Golden Wheel...... The Dharma? No, but he is also a Dharma King, called Phags-Pa Dharma King, a Tibetan monk, I heard that he has cultivated a good Buddha and has high mana, even my old way is not an opponent. ”

'Is there really such a powerful Dharma King?' Chen Dexing glared at him and said: "Tell Ren Daoxing (Ren Daoshi's father) to make a grenade and throw it over, and the ten Eight Sipas will be blown up...... Not an opponent yet? I don't know what these Shenxiao faction's bull noses think, they obviously have the best gunpowder formula, but they only know that they are used to pretend to be gods and ghosts, isn't this a delay? ’

"Okay, your old way can't beat Ba Si Pa and Yin Zhiping, so I'll fight it! Let's make gunpowder first. Chen Dexing returned the thunder method talisman to Daoist Ren, and gave a special warning, "This thunder method must also be kept secret, but it can't be learned by outsiders." ”

"Well, of course I know that." Daoist Ren took the talisman and stuffed it directly into his mouth and swallowed it.

"Okay, Taoist priest, then take out the saltpeter and sulfur you have purified and take a look." Chen Dexing did not argue with the Taoist priest about the difference between thunder law and gunpowder, but asked him to take out the purified gunpowder raw materials. The purification technology of gunpowder raw materials has long been available, not only can any Taoist priest do it, but even the pretty lady in Chen Dexing's family knows how to do it - gunpowder is also medicine! Sulfur and saltpeter are both used in medicine in this era, so I don't know if they will eat the dead?

Of course, Daoist Ren and Guo Fu'er mastered manual purification, which was very time-consuming, and of course they didn't know the method of industrial purification, even Chen Dexing himself didn't know - he was a seafarer, not a chemist.

The purified saltpeter is called snow nitrate, and the purified sulfur is called Kunlun Huang, which is used by Taoist priests for alchemy. Of course, the Shenxiao Sect's Lei Fa performance also needs these two raw materials. Ren Taoist learned this ability from the old Taoist when he was a child, and the refined snow nitrate and Kunlun Huang knew at a glance that it was the best grade, that is, there were fewer things, and the snow nitrate was installed in a water tank, and Kunlun Huang had three basins, and three basins had been ground into powdered wood. In addition, Ren Taoist also took the rod and weighed it, as long as the amount is weighed according to the recipe and mixed well, it is the best **...... Or what kind of thunder!

Daoist Ren took out a large copper basin that he didn't know where to come from and put it on the table, and then weighed the snow nitrate, Kunlun yellow and charcoal powder with his hands and feet, and then poured them into the copper basin one by one......

"Mix well and add some water." Chen Dexing was talking, carrying a copper kettle containing water and about to pour it. The Taoist priest on the side jumped up three feet high, "You can't add water!" Big man, you should treat this as a noodle, gunpowder can't be used in water, these snow nitrate and Kunlun yellow are all good things, expensive ......"

"Bang la la......" The water still fell.

Chen Dexing smiled, stretched out two big hands and really opened it in the copper basin, "If it is wet, it can be dried in the sun, but pay attention to fire prevention, and then break the fine sieve, so that the powder powder is particles, so you don't have to worry about the separation of nitrate and sulfur from the charcoal due to bumps during transportation." ”

"And this?" Daoist Ren looked at Chen Dexing suspiciously, and already suspected in his heart that he was the descendant of Chen Lu's ancestor Fuyaozi, and he also had some ancestral thunder method and Taoism.

"Of course!" Chen Dexing nodded, his brows furrowed again. That's all he knows about explosives, no matter how advanced the TNT and other explosives he can't get out, and he doesn't even know the solution to industrial production. Moreover, even the method of hand-producing pellets must be kept secret, otherwise it will fall into the hands of the Mongols, and he Chen Dexing will be blind!

Chen Dexing thought for a while, sighed and said, "The raw materials here can be equipped with 200 catties of gunpowder at most...... It's too little, and it seems that the tactic of only one shot is still correct. ”

"Isn't there another gunpowder? There are more than 20 craftsmen, and now they are all following the carpenter and blacksmith, so it is better to let them do it together. Daoist Ren reminded Chen Dexing while helping with "harmony".

"No, no, no, what's the difference between those craftsmen and those who are suing?" Chen Dexing shook his head, "Beiyu has a lot of work in Yangzhou City!" Daoist, if you can't be busy alone, you can let someone who makes gunpowder help refine snow nitrate and Kunlun Huang, and the final preparation must be done by yourself, at most you can recruit a few reliable apprentices. ”

Even if you don't have a detailed work, you can't say it! Particles** are indeed a sharp weapon, but what really constitutes combat effectiveness is not the weapon, but the person who owns the weapon! Not to mention anything else, just the shipbuilding and navigation capabilities of the Southern Song Dynasty are among the best in the world. Even without its own contribution of the three-story paddle warship, the Song Dynasty had the ability to build a fleet across the eastern sea.

But how did history develop? Cliffs and mountains...... And the Mongols, who had gained the ability to build ships in the Southern Song Dynasty, were able to cross the sea to expedition to Japan and Java!

Therefore, Chen Dexing does not plan to hand over the secret of ** to the Southern Song Dynasty now, in case he is unlucky, he can't change history, and he can't let the particles fall into the hands of the Mongols. Otherwise, Zhu Hongwu and their troubles will be big in the future.

"Qingzhi, I have prepared a total of seven and a half catties of snow salt, one catty of three taels of Kunlun yellow, and one catty of four taels of charcoal...... If you don't count water, you can just prepare ten catties of gunpowder. At this time, Daoist Ren had already reconciled the "face", and folded his fingers to settle the account for Chen Dexing. "The power of this gunpowder should be about the same as my family's thunder method, if an iron cannon is loaded with two and a half catties, this explosion will be powerful!"

"Two and a half pounds...... The power should be big enough, I don't know if the iron shell is strong enough? Chen Dexing probably knows that the ratio of the power of this kind of ** to fierce explosives is about seven to eight to one, two and a half catties is 1250 grams, divided by seven is a little more than 178 grams. Isn't the explosive power of 178 grams of TNT explosives a bit too much?
