Chapter 151: Yellow Powder

In the past few years, there have been many people who have not met Huaicai, and those who claim to have Huaicai are more like carp crossing the river, and the young man in front of him who looks very terrifying claims to have never met Huaicai, Zhu Jun only smiled dumbly, and said in the Chinese English he had learned before: "Since you have not met Huaicai, let me see your talents." ~~. ~~”

The young man shrugged his shoulders and said regretfully: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't show my results in front of you, my research is very dangerous, you can look at my face, you were injured by these terrible things, you are a noble king, it is really not suitable to take such a risk." ”

Zhu Jun glanced at the young man's face again, his face was full of burned scars, his ears and nose were missing, revealing Sensen's cartilage, the image was very terrifying, Zhu Jun couldn't help but sit up straight, if it was really as this young man said, a person who was willing to ruin his whole face for his research, no matter whether he had made any major results in his research, this stunned spirit alone was worthy of Zhu Jun's admiration, at least he definitely didn't have the courage.

"Oh? What is your name? Zhu Jun's tone was a little more polite.

The young man bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, my name is Churchill, John. Churchill. ”

Churchill? Zhu Jun almost laughed out loud, this surname was a household name in later generations, I didn't expect Zhu Jun to come here, and there was a person with the same surname as Churchill, he coughed, made himself more solemn, and said: "Then Mr. Churchill, I ask you, what exactly do you do?" How powerful is the gunpowder you study? ”

Churchill said, "Your Majesty." My research is not traditional black powder, in fact. I have discovered a yellow powder, which is several times more powerful than black powder, and the only regret is that. To this day, it still has not been able to be used in weapons. ”

"Yellow powder?" Zhu Jun was shocked by this inconspicuous guy's words, and suddenly exposed his rudeness, and when he came back to his senses, he quickly shook his head and said, "Impossible, impossible." ”

In Zhu Jundi's memory, yellow powder was a picric acid synthesized by the Englishman Wolf in the 18th century in 1771. It is a yellow crystal that was originally used as a yellow dye. It wasn't until later that people exploded its features. And it is widely used in the military field. Now it is more than a hundred years before the yellow powder land appeared, how could it be revealed by an inconspicuous Englishman?

"Your Majesty. Do you also know yellow powder? Why is it impossible? Churchill was puzzled by Zhu Jundi's strange expression.

"Ahem, can you confirm that you're studying yellow powder? Is it a yellow crystalline thing? "Zhu Jun returned to normalcy. The progress of science is accidental, and perhaps something has been discovered by mankind hundreds of years ago. But because of a variety of factors lost in the long river of history, 1771 Wolf is only known to mankind as yellow powder, does not mean that he is the first person to appear, such as Dai Zi in the early Qing Dynasty, the first Ming with guns, his guns are more than 200 years earlier than the machine gun technology of the West, and finally exiled by Kangxi for thousands of miles, and the guns were also destroyed, two hundred years later, when Westerners arrived in this once glorious land, the most advanced weapons here are just birds, and who in the world admits that he is the first machine gun Ming?

"It's the ground. There's nothing wrong with that. It is yellow crystalline rehmannia gunpowder. Churchill watched in disbelief as this eastern land reigned. All the time. He was seen as a joke. On the contrary, the Oriental monarch studied it quite a bit. He asked excitedly, "Your Majesty." Do you know it too? It's just great. ”

Of course Zhu Jun knows. I also know the value of yellow gunpowder. In the Hereafter. Black powder is a material used to make fireworks. Yellow powder, on the other hand, is widely used in the military industry. This is the only one. You can see the difference between the power of the two gunpowders. Black powder due to more impurities. The performance is very unstable. And once it encounters an open flame, it is easy to explode. The power is proportional to the amount of land charged. For example, loading artillery. In general, the more black powder is added. Then the power is even greater. It's cumbersome.

Yellow powder is different. It is a fierce one. The performance is also relatively stable. The only drawback was that you had to use Regon to make the potion to make the yellow powder explode.

If this time can be developed yellow powder. The entire military system of Daming will bring earth-shaking changes. First of all, the Divine Warrior Battalion will be cut and merged into the Divine Machine Battalion. Once this horror became mainstream. Cavalry and melee classes will instantly turn into chicken ribs. It's not vulnerable at all. But geochemistry is just getting started in this era. It is not easy to configure the mercury of the detonation mine of yellow powder. And there is no thunder mercury. Yellow powder cannot explode. It's like having black powder but not firing it.

"Mr. Churchill. How do you make these yellow crystals explode? Ahem...... Ames. You can go out first. Zhu Jun pushed aside Arms. This kind of secrecy should be known as little as possible. Although the loyalty of Amsdi is unquestionable.

"Sir. I don't know very well. The site is a kind of white crystals and yellow powder that collide with each other and explode to the ground. But I couldn't figure out what it was. Churchill was also distressed. Since the explosive characteristics of the yellow powder. A piece of his ear was blown off. He began to devote himself to this research. Unfortunately yes. His ideas were not recognized by the people of the time. Many even suspected that the young man was dreaming. Maybe your brain will be blown up. Half a year later. Misunderstood, Churchill set sail in desperation. With the Dutch merchant ships came to the South Seas. Over here. He was trying to find a big man who could provide him with enough money to study his field with peace of mind. But he was soon disappointed. These Nansears are even more ignorant than Westerners. They would rather believe in gods and monsters than in the world of such power. Thereupon. After the Ming army captured Java, Churchill was full of dreams and found the Ming emperor through the Ams-land relationship.

He has paid too much for this little thing, and he can't turn back, if Zhu Jun can't take his opinion, then he would rather be blown up than have any nostalgia for this world.

Zhu Jun knew in his heart that his so-called white crystal should be the material for making thunder mercury, but it was still difficult to refine mine mercury, but it didn't matter, Zhu Jun trusted this young man, a persistent person will always succeed, what they lack is just an opportunity.

"How much silver and manpower do you need to research yours?" Zhu Jun raised his chin, with a faint smile on his face, as long as it was within 500,000 taels of silver, even if there was only a 20% success rate, Zhu Jun felt that it was worth it, once he could apply yellow powder to the military industry, Zhu Jun could at least plunder hundreds of millions of wealth in Asia, and the possibility of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains would also be greatly increased, and the Manchurian iron cavalry would be vulnerable in front of him.

"First...... Sir, you... Are you really going to sponsor me? God, you are such a good person, I think I only need 30,000 silver coins to suffice, if you think it is too much, 20,000 is fine. Churchill's tongue was a little knotted, and his face became even more terrifying.

Zhu Jun is not a good person, as a crossing, although he does not know how to make yellow powder and thunder mercury, but he still has some basic chemical knowledge, and he can see the prospect of yellow powder, which alone cannot be replaced by two or three hundred thousand Dutch silver coins.

Zhu Jun said: "This is obviously not enough, I will now make you a gunpowder consultant, I will set up a research laboratory in the gunpowder workshop, and provide you with 10,000 taels of silver as funds every month, how many manpower and craftsmen do you need, you can go directly to the gunpowder workshop to find it, as long as you want, any craftsman can become your apprentice, let it go, young man." Zhu Jun encouraged him in an old-fashioned manner, completely forgetting that he was not an old man.

"Thank you so much." Churchill's face was swollen and red, the hand holding the triangular hat in his hand was constantly trembling, and his bamboo-like figure continued to bow to Zhu Jun, he didn't expect to get so much, but this oriental monarch was so generous, so that Churchill, who had been treated and ridiculed everywhere, was surprised and full of gratitude.

"Mr. Churchill, you are doing something that no one has done before, and if you succeed, you will be remembered for all ages. You have to do a good job and let those who look down on you know how stupid they are, and the truth is always in the hands of a few. Zhu Jun did not hesitate to encourage this young man, although this guy may not be famous for a hundred years, it is very likely that he will be left for 10,000 years, obviously, this young man does not know how many people will die under this kind of fierceness after his yellow powder research, let alone how many European lives have been hurt in the world war provoked by the Ming Dynasty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I really don't know how to thank you, I will definitely try." Churchill thought of the cold eyes and ridicule he had encountered in the past, and his heart suddenly swelled.

Zhu Jun is a good man to the end, send the Buddha to the sky, recruit Churchill to the opposite side of the imperial case, and talk to this young man about some knowledge of thunder mercury, although Zhu Jun does not know how to refine thunder mercury, but the basic materials still know a little bit or two, he constantly recalls the previous chemical knowledge, and told Churchill in general, although it can not immediately produce yellow powder and thunder mercury, but at least, it can make Churchill's research less detours.

It was until late at night, when the two hungry people stopped discussing, Zhu Jun invited Churchill to have a rich dinner, and this guy left Miyagi with emotion, and tomorrow, he will devote himself to his laboratory and make due contributions to the bomb cause of Daming.
