Chapter Ninety-Eight: Black Powder and Horseshoe
Out of Xianyang Palace.
Su Mo soon arrived at Meng Tian's house.
Since Meng Tian recognized Yi Xiaochuan as his younger brother, Yi Xiaochuan changed his name to Meng Yi, and then joined the Meng family's army.
With Meng Tian, the secretary of the military department of the dynasty, as the backstage, Yi Xiaochuan's official road will undoubtedly be much smoother, and Meng Tian sent Yi Xiaochuan to the Meng family's army, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is planning to let Yi Xiaochuan take over his class.
I have to say that Yi Xiaochuan is even castrated.
But shit luck is still ongoing.
It's a blessing.
Worthy of the protagonist.
When Su Mo saw Yi Xiaochuan, the other party was wearing armor, his face was a little more gloomy, and his face looked a little haggard.
Since this guy was castrated, it seems that his personality has changed a lot and has the potential to be blackened.
"What are you going to do?"
When Yi Xiaochuan saw Su Mo, there was a little more jealousy and hostility in his eyes.
If it weren't for Su Mo's high position and power, coupled with his terrifying strength, Yi Xiaochuan would definitely rush up and fight him without hesitation.
Hearing this, Su Mo smiled: "It seems that you have been doing well recently, I naturally came here for the gunpowder thing, I have already helped you save Princess Yushu, it has been so long, when do you plan to develop gunpowder for me?" ”
When Yushu was caught in Xianyang City, Yi Xiaochuan was afraid that Yushu would be killed or sent to build the Great Wall, so he made a dirty deal with Su Mo.
And Su Mo did save Princess Yushu in front of the First Emperor.
But Yi Xiaochuan's face looked very angry at this time, and he shouted: "You bastard, I asked you to save Princess Yushu, but you actually got her to be a maid in your own house." ”
"I only promised you to save Yushu's life, but I didn't promise anything else."
Su Mo replied very calmly, looking at him with a dangerous light in his eyes: "Do you want to regret it?" ”
Feeling the murderous aura bursting out of Su Mo's body, Yi Xiaochuan couldn't help but shudder, don't look at him as Meng Tian's younger brother, but if Su Mo is determined to kill him, can Meng Tian still be able to stop him?
One is the hot prime minister of the dynasty, and the other is just an inconspicuous little person in the Meng family.
Even if he killed Yi Xiaochuan, would Meng Tian still fight with him, and would the First Emperor blame him for this?
Yi Xiaochuan clenched his fists, stared at him a little unwillingly, and then it didn't take long for him to turn away like a deflated ball.
But soon it came back again.
This time, he hugged a wine jar and said: "This is the black powder I developed during this time, you have to be careful, once you see an open flame, this gunpowder will explode, and the power is enough to blow up a palace into the sky." ”
Seeing this man-made bomb, Su Mo's eyes were a little jealous.
This is also the reason why he knows the formula of gunpowder, but he does not dare to make it himself, and he may finish playing with it if he is not careful.
"And this, this is the experimental data I did when I was developing gunpowder, with this thing you can make gunpowder in batches." Yi Xiaochuan took out another notebook, which was written with dense formulas, the ratio of gunpowder, and even how powerful the dose of gunpowder would burst out of, which was very clearly recorded.
After Su Mo took this experimental data book, he had a surprised expression on his face.
With these black powders, he could use them on the Huns.
At this time, Yi Xiaochuan was a little hesitant on his face, but he still asked, "Is the jade gargle okay?" Can you let me see her? ”
Although Yi Xiaochuan also has an official position now, Yushu stays in the palace most of the time, and it is naturally impossible for him to enter and leave the palace casually as a foreign minister, so it is impossible to see Yushu even if he wants to.
Su Mo didn't speak, and slowly put away the gunpowder and other things.
"You have become a eunuch, and you still miss women, even if you see Yushu, what if you see Yushu?" Su Mo squinted at him, and there was a bit of playfulness in his mouth: "But I'm the most honest person, as long as you help me do one more thing, I will promise to let you and Yushu meet." ”
"What's the matter?"
"I heard that Meng Tian has a bloody BMW named Heifeng, I want Heifeng's blood, you help me get it." Su Motu was poor in the dagger, and finally said his purpose.
That black wind is General Meng Tian's favorite horse, even if Su Mo goes to find Meng Tian in person, people may not agree to this matter, but if Yi Xiaochuan goes to ask Meng Tian, it will naturally be another matter.
After Yi Xiaochuan heard this, he turned around and left without saying a word.
It didn't take long for him to come over with a bottle.
"This is the blood of the Black Wind you want." Yi Xiaochuan threw the bottle in his hand over.
Su Mo opened it and took a look, and a pungent smell of blood wafted inside.
After getting the blood of the black wind, Su Mo nodded with satisfaction: "In this case, you will come to the palace at noon tomorrow, and I will have someone take you to see Princess Yushu at that time, but I think it will be in vain for you to go, I suggest that you die sooner or later, licking the dog will not end well." ”
He wasn't very optimistic that Yi Xiaochuan and Princess Yushu could be together.
Every licking dog is not innocent.
Lick the dog, lick until there is nothing left.
After finishing speaking, Su Mo didn't care what Yi Xiaochuan's expression was, and left Meng Tian's General's Mansion directly.
Halfway through.
Su Mo thought of one thing, so he went to the Ministry of Engineering again.
"Sanguni-sama!"
After Zhang Han saw Su Mo, his expression was even more flattering than the last time.
After seeing Zhang Han, Su Mo thought that he was going to fight in the grassland this time, and the Huns were mostly cavalry, and this time he went to attack the Huns and basically brought cavalry, so he was going to equip the iron cavalry of Daqin with an artifact.
In ancient times, because of the long-term running of war horses, so the hooves of horses are easy to damage, basically a war will be scrapped a lot of war horses, and this year war horses are scarce resources, Daqin every year because of this loss of war horses reached a terrifying number.
So Su Mo planned to find Zhang Han to create an artifact called a horseshoe.
The so-called horseshoe is not mysterious, it is to put shoes on the war horse, so that the war horse can be non-slip and prevent excessive wear and tear of the hoof soles.
In short, this thing is tantamount to an artifact for cavalry, and it is not complicated to build.
If the horseshoe is equipped, the combat effectiveness of Daqin's iron cavalry will be increased by at least 30%.
After telling Zhang Han how to make the horseshoe, this guy was full of exclamation: "Lord Xiangguo's invention can amaze Xiaguan every time, this method of putting shoes on a horse seems simple, but since ancient times, I haven't thought of it, Xiaguan's admiration for Xiangguo is like a surging river, endless, and like the Yellow River flooding, out of control......"
"Stop, stop, stop slapping my ass."
Su Mo hurriedly stopped, and said in his mouth: "In short, before I go out to fight against the Xiongnu, your Ministry of Industry will make 300,000 pairs of horseshoes for me, and then transport them to the front line to equip every iron horse in Daqin." ”
"Xia Guan understands!"
Zhang Han hurriedly nodded and replied.
Seeing this last general of the Qin State, Su Mo always felt a little sorry for others, this guy seems to be addicted to being a craftsman, and he won't take a future general to waste?
Thinking of this, Su Mo opened his mouth and asked: "Zhang Han, now that I am about to go to the Huns, have you ever thought of going with me to lead the troops to fight, when the time comes, it will be much better than your lifetime in the Ministry of Industry." ”
"Ah, going to war?"
Zhang Han was stunned, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "Compared to leading the troops to fight, Xiaguan still prefers to study some gadgets in the Ministry of Industry, such as the paper and printing technology invented by Lord Xiangguo before, and the horseshoe this time, these are all cross-era inventions, everything is an artifact that benefits the country and the people, and Lord Xiangguo is the idol of Xiaguan, I am determined to be like Lord Xiangguo, and invent more things that can benefit the people of Daqin." ”
Seeing Zhang Han's resolute face.
Su Mo was moved by his dedication to science.
Forget it, this guy is hopeless.
Carry it away!
