Watching Cai Wenji's beautiful figure walk away.

Reborn in the Han Dynasty, I thought that if I had the opportunity to meet Diao Chan, one of the four beauties; I also want to see how beautiful the big and small Qiao of Tongque Chun Shen Lock Er Qiao are.

Unexpectedly, it was Cai Wenji, who had a rough life, who broke into the heart of the young Emperor Ling.

Since Lao Tzu has been reborn here, he must protect his country and beauties, and develop the Han Dynasty into an existence that surpasses the First Emperor and the Gaozu!

There is not much time left for the Spirit Emperor, and he has to race against time to get ahead of time.

Thinking of this, Emperor Ling ran to the stinking thatched hut and scraped out some white powder from the corner of the wall.

"Is this potassium nitrate?"

By mixing this with sulfur and charcoal powder in a certain proportion, a black gunpowder can be made.

The black-clothed guard watched the Spirit Emperor scrape the thing, and also took the initiative to help scrape, and after a while, he scraped nearly three catties.

"That's enough," the Spirit Emperor muttered to himself, "It's enough to do a few experiments." ”

After an afternoon of grinding, the potassium nitrate is ground into a fine powder, which is also used for sulfur and charcoal. The three substances are mixed in proportion and sealed with a small terracotta jar.

It's time to start experimenting.

Emperor Ling ordered the black-clothed guards to cover their ears, and then lit the fuse, and after two minutes, only a loud "boom" was heard, and the pottery altar with a pound of medicine was blown up to pieces, and the surrounding branches swayed!

Even if the black-clad guards had their ears plugged, they were shocked by the loud explosion.

"Is this the thunderbolt? The emperor made a thunderbolt? ”

"Wow! Boy, why are your pants wet? Scared to pee? ”

"It's scary, if you get any closer, your life will be gone!"

......

Emperor Ling sat beside the emperor and thought about it quietly, he wanted to find a craftsman to fire a spherical clay pot, which could be held in his hand, and he also had to solve the ignition device, like a grenade in his previous life, as soon as he pulled it, he would ignite the fuse, and after a few seconds, it would automatically explode.

The kind of substance that ignites after just impact, as I learned in chemistry class, can be made from mercury thunderate.

Emperor Ling conducted many experiments and finally succeeded.

A simple firing device was placed in front of him, and the Spirit Emperor pulled the pull ring, and the firing pin hit the primer, and with a "poof", the primer was ignited.

The experiment was a success!

It was almost night, and after almost five hours of development, the first palm thunder sample that satisfied the Spirit Emperor had been made.

Small and exquisite, it is not very conspicuous in the hand.

The Spirit Emperor stood in an open place, fixed his mind, pulled the ring, only heard the sound of "呑呑", the fire rope was lit, and it stayed in his hand for a second, and then, the Spirit Emperor threw it out.

In mid-air, a bright light flashed, and a loud sound came again.

"Perfect!"

The Spirit Emperor clapped his hands, and the black-clothed guard appeared lightly in front of the Spirit Emperor.

"Go and ask Huangfu Song, how many eliminated people are in the fifth battalion, send them quickly, I will be of great use!"

"Whoa!" The black-clad janissary took the order and left quickly.

......

The next morning.

Huangfu Song came to the palace with more than 300 older soldiers.

For the first time, Emperor Ling did not have a morning exercise.

Looking at the 300 anxious soldiers in front of him, the Spirit Emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "Soldiers, from today onwards, you will be the workers in my workshop. ”

"Your mission is to find this thing in my hands."

When a soldier saw something in Emperor Ling's hand, he asked curiously, "Your Majesty, is this one in your hand saltpeter?" ”

Emperor Ling was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced, "You know this? Where? ”

The soldier took the saltpeter from Emperor Ling's hand and said, "The mountains behind the villain's hometown are full of mountains. ”

"Good!" Emperor Ling patted the soldier and said, "You have made a great contribution!" Your wages are increased to 3 taels a month! ”

Emperor Ling continued: "Draw 100 soldiers from here, mine those saltpeters, and transport them all to the big open space west of the palace. ”

"Yes!"

"The rest of the soldiers, I have built a wall around the open space to the west, and no one is allowed to enter without my permission!"

"Yes!"

Huangfu Song watched from the side, what is the use of those stones? What are you going to do when you fence off such a large open space?

He really couldn't figure out what the young emperor was going to make!

......

"Chen Li, how far is your home from here?" After the soldiers were divided, one of the soldiers asked the man who had discovered the saltpeter mine.

"Not far away, my house is in the mountains north of the palace, about twenty miles away."

"It's not far away."

"The emperor is really good to us," said a soldier with only one hand: "I thought that I would be useless for the rest of my life, and I would wait for death after eating, but who knows, Your Majesty ordered that when we come here, we can still get a salary of one or two silver a month." ”

"Yes, one or two pieces of silver are enough for the family's expenses for two months."

"Don't worry about it at home anymore, do it well!"

"Good job!"

......

In the open space to the west of the palace, the soldiers were in full swing.

Huge bricks were brought over one by one, and one by one they were built with mortar to form a high, thick wall. On the wall, every thirty meters, another lookout post was built, which was built according to a long-term barracks.

Inside the wall, Emperor Ling called Hua Xin, the little leader of the black-clothed guards, over and gave him full authority to supervise the construction of the boiling pond.

In three days, nearly 2,000 catties of saltpeter were transported! Emperor Ling called Hua Xin to the side and said, "Hua Xin, you can only stay here this time."

As he spoke, he taught Hua Xin to boil saltpeter by hand, and said: "This is my most powerful weapon production base, and no one is allowed to come here without my permission." ”

Hua Xin listened carefully and thought, "What kind of weapon is this, is it more powerful than a bow and arrow?" ”

Then teach Hua Xin how to overthink the liquid boiled out, and finally cool it down, and it becomes a thick white nitrate.

"Hua Xin, when you master these, just try your best to produce, as much as I want!"

And at this time, the Spirit Emperor has no one again!

Factories for making sulfur and charcoal powder, as well as workshops for firing pottery, have not yet begun.

What to do?

Publish a job posting!

At that moment, he arranged manpower, wrote dozens of recruitment notices, posted them in several counties and counties of Luodu, and stamped them with the emperor's imperial seal, and sent black-clothed guards to guard the notices.

Overnight, the black-clothed janissaries rushed to the various counties of Luodu with announcements.

Early in the morning of the second day.

A county guards not far from the yamen.

Two black-clad janissaries guarded a large poster.

After a while, many people came to watch the excitement.

"What is this for?"

"Do you know how to read? Say it! ”

"I read it, what is written on it is that the emperor wants to employ people, one or two silver a month's salary, and food and shelter!"

"Is there such a good thing? Our wages here are only one or two pieces of silver, which is a lie! ”

A black-clothed guard said loudly: "Everyone, the announcement is not wrong, it is an announcement issued by the emperor, one or two silver a month, and there is a sign up if you want to go." ”

He then shouted: "As long as you have hands and feet, you are between the ages of 18 and 30, both men and women." ”

At this time, more and more people gathered around.

"My lord, I sign up, is it okay?" A young man in his mid-18 or 9-year-olds, dressed in tatters, said.

"Yes, you can come here and register."

With the first, there is the second, and more and more people are starting to sign up.

Suddenly, an untimely voice cried out, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" What are you doing, who made you mess around here! ”

The crowd was separated, and a man in a five-rank official uniform, supported by a group of people, swaggered over.

He waved his hand and shouted, "What a bullshit notice, rip it off for this official!" ”

Several of the officers shouted loudly and ran forward to tear off the notice.
