Chapter 452: Explosives
When Ziqing returned to the bottom of the mountain with Yanran, Yonglian and the others had already finished the competition, and Ziqing didn't have much hope, but she just took the child out to see Qing'er's pastoral life for a long time.
Therefore, seeing the disappointed expressions of the two, Ziqing took their hands and said with a smile: "We just came out to play, those things are just false names." ”
In fact, Ziqing originally wanted to say that even if she marries into a high family because of this, she may not be able to get happiness, and this life is a trivial matter that flows for a long time, rather than a piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that does not ask about mundane things all day long. However, as soon as she saw the lady and lady present, Ziqing quickly shut up.
When Ziqing took the children to say goodbye, Grandma Luo took Ziqing's hand and asked, "I didn't see your figure in the blink of an eye. ”
When Ziqing heard this, she had to run away, otherwise, she would not have to be ugly, not to mention that the poems and paintings could not be made, even if Ziqing's words were quite uncontrollable. Thinking about it this way, the unhappiness of meeting Wen San and the others quickly passed.
On the way back, Yonglian and Yongrong chattered, saying that they had made a few friends, including Luo Chuchu, and made an appointment to come to the door to play, Ziqing was very happy to see the two children, and this trip was not in vain.
Within two days, Shurui Shuyan and they all had a holiday, Ziqing saw that the weather was too hot, and he didn't want Xiaoyi and them to always come to Yanran, so he discussed with the Shen family that his family was going to spend the summer in the manor, and the house there had been built and the furniture was complete.
Shen was worried that Ziqing was alone with the child, saying that he was going to send Ziqing over and help her pack up and stay for two days before coming back.
Ziqing brought Mama Hua. Caiyun, chasing the moon, and a few maids such as Xiaobai Xiaozi, Xiaofen stayed to watch the house, and the big rivers and rivers were brought over.
When I came back from Linzhuang during the Qingming Festival. Ziqing took Shurui to see this Zhuangzi, mainly to make some improvements to the furnishings in the house and the design of the clean room, but. At that time, there was nothing in the village.
Ziqing and the others entered the gate, and looked along the way, there were soybeans, peanuts, sweet potatoes, potatoes, sorghum, corn, etc., and a watermelon field on both sides of the road. At the beginning of raising the land, the yield will not be high, the quality is not very good, the watermelon does not grow much, it seems. This melon seed will be shipped from Anzhou this year.
Walking a hundred meters inside, there are two rows of neat houses, similar to the Kangzhuang in Anzhou, which are for the farmers to live, and then go inside, it is a big courtyard, which is where Ziqing and they live, and the yard is two in. There are several small courtyards scattered in the inner courtyard, which are also ready for guests to live.
The house is a typical farmhouse style, all the furniture and furnishings are simple and practical, and they are all a slippery kang, but also simple.
Xiaobai and the girls cleaned up, and the children went out to play by themselves. Ziqing accompanied Zeng Ruixiang and Shen to walk in the village, all kinds of saplings have been planted on the mountain, the capital is good, there are ready-made nurseries, and you can basically buy any saplings you want, not as good as Anzhou.
There is a river in the mountains that meanders down and passes through Ziqing's manor, which is convenient for farmers to irrigate, and it is also convenient for farmers to raise chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep.
Zeng Ruixiang said with a smile: "It's much more Kangzhuang than Anzhou, and in two or three years, it should be lively here." ”
Ziqing called this place Kangyuan, and currently bought a few skilled hands, specializing in fruit trees, flowers and plants, poultry, livestock, and the farmers who farm the land are long-term workers hired from nearby villages, as well as homeless orphans, or old people who have no one to support at home, Lin Xing took some together, but they all signed the deed of sale first, set the rules, and have a ready-made model reference for Kangzhuang, Ziqing doesn't have to worry about it.
Ziqing lived in the countryside, as if returning to the Qing Garden, and also resumed getting up early every day to go around the place, and at night when the sun was sinking in the west, walking in the woods, I felt that my sleep was much better, and it seemed that I could only adapt to this pastoral life.
The Shen family lived for a few days, and when they saw that Ziqing had a lot of people around them, they relieved themselves and went back to Qing'er's idyllic life in the city.
On this day, Ziqing saw that the mountains here were very empty, and there was actually a thatched hut, so she suddenly thought that she had studied half of the explosives, but Ziqing really didn't worry about letting Dajiang and them go back to get this thing, after all, they were Xiaoyi's people, and Ziqing didn't want them to know.
Ziqing's things were bought by Lin Xing, so he sent Lin Xing and Xiaozi to move the things, and secretly hid them in the thatched hut, every day, Ziqing pretended to go for a walk, took Shurui, and entered the thatched house, Ziqing told Shurui some simple chemical knowledge, he followed Ziqing and Lin Kangping in the laboratory, this child didn't ask where Ziqing knew, Lin Kangping told him about the things at home, not to go out.
This nitrocellulose is the first difficulty for Ziqing to overcome, because there is no nitric acid, only saltpeter, fortunately, they have sulfuric acid, Lin Xing said what is it called green vanadium oil, and I don't know where he got it for Ziqing.
The alcohol lamp is customized by Ziqing from the glass factory, the alcohol is pure from Ziqing's premise, Ziqing produced nitric acid with sulfuric acid, but the concentration purification of nitric acid encountered a lot of trouble, fortunately, Ziqing also slowly solved it, it took a month, and finally produced nitrocellulose, the first simple explosive package was made, Ziqing was still a little excited, but I don't know how powerful it is.
Ziqing and Shurui took a small explosive bag into the mountain, of course, not in their own manor, Ziqing personally lit the fire, the lead was long enough, and it was enough for Ziqing to run far, but I didn't expect it to be a squib, it seems that the concentration of nitric acid and sulfuric acid is not enough, and the research has entered a deadlock again.
It's a pity that within two days, Shurui and the others were going to go to school, and Ziqing had to return to the city.
As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Yi came over and said, "Auntie, you don't take Xiao Yi with you to the village, and you don't want Xiao Yi to go for such a long time?" ”
Ziqing touched his head and said, "Next time, my aunt will take you." ”
Actually, what Ziqing didn't know was that her behavior had aroused Dajiang's suspicions, but they didn't expect Ziqing to be researching explosives, but they knew that Ziqing was doing something more important, so they didn't let Xiaoyi go over to disturb her.
However, when the test reached a critical stage, Ziqing was really itching in her heart, if this continued, this concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid would volatilize? Didn't you work hard for half a day in vain?
Therefore, Ziqing made an excuse for lying to the Shen family, left Xiaozi to cook for Shuyan and them, and took the original team to the village. However, this time, the walk that Ziqing took became Xiaobai, and Xiaobai was only sentry and working outside, and she didn't know what Ziqing was busy with.
This time, it took another month and four or five trials to make an explosives package in the real sense. The test explosion was also carried out by Ziqing and Xiaobai, and when it exploded, Ziqing and Xiaobai felt a strong vibration lying forty or fifty meters away, and the mountain was blown up into a crater, and the little white people were stupid.
Ziqing was afraid that someone would hear the movement and run, so she pulled Xiaobai and ran, returned to the thatched hut to sort out the test data, and the remaining concentrated acid, Ziqing made nitrocellulose, and also made explosives and hidden, so she took a group of people back to the city.
What Ziqing didn't know was that as soon as she came back from the manor, someone stole into the thatched hut, but she didn't find anything useful, but turned out a few small boxy packages like small quilts, and a long lead, they stole one and took it, and the rest was still hidden.
More than an hour later, Li Han saw the explosive bag, looked at it, but didn't see anything, and asked, "Did you hear the sound yourself?" ”
"Yes, master, it can be described as the sky falling apart, if you don't believe it, the slave will try it, and the master will know it from a distance."
"Bring the rivers and rivers and ask them what they know?"
"Master, I asked, they didn't know at all, the thing was purchased for her by the housekeeper named Lin Xing."
Li Han was speechless for a long time before asking, "What does she want to do?" ”
"This, listening to Mama Hua, it seems that once, this Grandma Lin's family said that their ship encountered the thieves and almost suffered a loss. Then, this Grandma Lin asked Lin Xing to secretly buy some things, all of which bypassed the river and the river, and hid in the room for almost a month, but there was no movement, and I heard that it took more than two months to do it, and it failed many times. ”
"Thieves? In this way, you call Wen San and Luo Chi. ”
An hour later, Wen San and Luo Chi came, and the three of them took the guards to the place where Ziqing was tested, looked at the big pit on the ground, and then looked at the package in their hands, Wen San and Luo Chi didn't know what it meant, they both looked at Li Han.
Li Han watched the guards light the fuse, and then ran away with Wen San and the others, and suddenly there was a loud "bang", Wen San and Luo Chi were startled, and when the smoke dissipated, a few people returned to the place, another big pit.
Seeing is believing, Li Han was still calm, but Luo Chi asked happily: "Master, it's really the first time I've seen such a powerful gunpowder, who made it?" It's so powerful, I want to meet him. ”
The guards led a few of them around the gate of the manor, and entered the hut from the back hill, where there was nothing but a pile of strange glass bottles and jars, and a pile of cotton.
The guards found the explosives bag, Li Han let him tear a small hole, and there was something like cotton inside, and the three of them looked at me, I looked at you, all with questions, and said, "How is this possible?" ”
Wen San reacted and asked, "Is this manor from the Lin family?" This was made by Zeng Ziqing? ”
Li Han looked at Wen San and asked, "How do you know that she made it?" ”
"This is the Lin family's manor, could it be that there are others? The saint can rest assured, Ziqing is just worried about the affairs of the court, and she must not be dissatisfied with the saint. Wen San hurriedly explained.
"Can't you? She is a woman, and she can't make such a powerful thing without leaving the door? Rochi asked rhetorically. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
