"What's going on?" Even in the Liangyi Palace, Li Er also heard this loud noise.

Don't look at him as an emperor, but for people in this era, there are still some lingering palpitations about this god-like power.

He was not afraid of this power, but angry that this power could not be controlled by him.

Duan Lun was also a little frightened, that movement was really not small!

At this moment, a thick puff of black smoke floated up.

"Seems to be the direction of the prison?" One of the chamberlains whispered.

"Biography." When Li Er heard this, he immediately ordered, "Spread Yan Lide and see what the hell they are doing." ”

After speaking, Li Er looked at Duan Lun again and asked, "Do you know what the situation is?" ”

Duan Lun shook his head, he knew a fart, but looking at this movement, he always had a bad feeling.

It didn't take long for Yan Lide to run over with an excited face, he really ran over.

"What are you going to do as prisoners? Look at the billowing black smoke, do you want to burn this Chang'an City? Originally, Li Er was not angry, but when he saw Yan Lide's squeamish appearance, he always felt sorry for himself if he didn't scold him.

Yan Lide didn't take it seriously at all, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, it's done, it's done!" ”

"What can't be done?" Li Er was a little puzzled, but he looked forward to Yan Lide's demeanor.

"Your Majesty." Yan Lide hurriedly said, "Did you hear that loud noise just now?" That's the new type of ordnance I've just developed!

In the future, it will definitely be a great weapon to influence the battlefield! ”

"New ordnance?" As soon as he heard these four words, Li Er's eyes suddenly lit up, "My Datang's new ordnance?" ”

"Exactly!" Yan Lide said, "Actually, we have been studying for a long time before, but there has been no breakthrough, and this time, by chance, we finally have some results."

Your Majesty, do you want to take a look? ”

He was so excited!

"Go, go to the prison." When Li Er heard this, he immediately waved his hand and prepared to go to the general prison.

On the side, Duan Lun immediately said: "Your Majesty, if you don't wait, that thing is too dangerous." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The chamberlain on the side also said, "Why don't you let General Yan take it to a safe place?" ”

What are you kidding, just the movement just now, how dare they let Li Er go to be a prisoner, if this happens again, then they won't live.

Yan Lide is also a smart person, and when he saw this, he immediately said: "It's Weichen who is abrupt, in this way, Weichen immediately asked people to fetch some, Your Majesty can rest assured, Xiaoliang is not moving much." ”

Li Er nodded, but he didn't say much, just as the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, he will not put himself in danger.

This is not only responsible for himself, but also responsible for Datang.

Soon, Yan Lide arranged for someone to go back to the prison to get things.

"Tell me, what is it, how can it be so powerful?" Li Er asked curiously.

"Back to Your Majesty." Yan Lide said, "Wei Chen calls it black powder, but it is actually inspired by the incendiary bombs of the Ming Dynasty.

Didn't General Niu get some incendiary bombs back at that time? That thing has so much power, and it can explode with a bang, Weichen thought about it, don't those alchemists in my Datang explode once in a while?

So Wechen wondered if he could try it from this, but there was no progress at first.

But later, Weichen heard that Sun Daochang had also indulged in alchemy for a period of time, and heard that he had a lot of pills in his hands......

No, Wei Chen went to the Ming Dynasty this time and asked Sun Daochang to ask Dan Fang to come over. ”

"Sun Simiao's recipe?" Li Er was a little surprised, "You asked him if he wanted it, and he gave it to you?" ”

"Hey...... Sun Daochang, although he is a medical idiot, he is definitely an enlightened medical idiot, as long as he can cure diseases and save people, he will definitely not refuse.

Moreover, if it is not a coincidence, today's movement is still Sun Daochang's recipe that has played a big role. ”

Yan Lide said that Sun Simiao was a medical idiot, but why wasn't he obsessed with engineering?

Of course, while he is obsessed with engineering, he is not a fool, and Li Eryi heard what he said, and he knew it in his heart at the moment.

At the beginning, Yan Lide said that he wanted to go to Sun Moon Mountain to exchange and study with the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, but it was all a pretense, and the main purpose was for Sun Simiao's recipe.

Thinking of this, Li Er shook his head speechlessly and said, "After doing it for a long time, I still pick up people's teeth." ”

"You can't say that." Yan Lide immediately said, "Although the black powder we have researched is indeed based on Sun Daochang's recipe, his recipe is two taels of sulfur, two taels of nitrate, and three and a half coins of soaphorn...... (This recipe is true, and it is indeed from Sun Simiao, but you know.) ）

We tried this recipe, but it didn't work at all, and in the end, we talked to a lot of people, tried a lot of things, and finally replaced the soap horn with an aristolochia to have this effect.

In this process, it was not a day or two that tossed us.

However, further research is still underway, and it is difficult to say what the final result will be. ”

Yan Lide didn't know that he directly advanced the history of gunpowder by more than a hundred years!

Of course, even without him, in more than a hundred years, there will be a Taoist priest named Qingxuzi, who replaced the soaphorn with aristolochia when studying Sun Simiao's Danfang, thus officially pushing black powder to the stage of world history.

"Try it first." When Li Er heard this, he didn't say anything more.

But just as he was saying this, the palace guards rushed towards him, saying that it might be a little inappropriate to say that they were pouring over, to be precise, they were protecting him.

Li Er did not deliberately go to the front to show his heroism as a real man, but waited quietly in the back.

After a while, several craftsmen who would be the prisoners came over with a few clay pots in their hands.

As soon as Li Eryi waved his hand, Yan Lide immediately moved.

I saw that he placed a clay pot dozens of meters away from Li Er, and then went to the door with a wooden box and buckled it upside down on top of the clay pot.

After doing all this, he trotted over and said, "Your Majesty, start now?" ”

Li Er didn't speak, but looked at a soldier beside him, who immediately walked out to check it out with understanding, and then walked back and nodded to Li Er.

"Then let's try it." Li Er said, "I want to see if your black powder can really become a sharp weapon on the battlefield!" ”

When Yan Lide heard this, he immediately waved his hand, and the general who was waiting there immediately lifted the box with the cooperation of the two and threw a lit fire fold into it.

After doing all this, the three of them turned around and ran!

It felt as if there was an evil spirit chasing after me.

It wasn't until they found a bunker that they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hands to protect your head!" Yan Lide also shouted when he saw this, and the soldiers also subconsciously protected Li Er firmly behind him, and at the same time protected their own vital points.

Even Duan Lun is the same.

However, even though everyone was trying to protect themselves as much as possible, the little eyes still couldn't stop looking towards the wooden box.

Minutes and seconds passed, but the explosion they had expected did not happen.

"How long will this explosion take?" Li Er asked with some confusion.

Yan Lide didn't speak, he was dumbfounded.

No, according to their previous tests, it should have exploded by now!

After another minute or two, the soldiers were even hesitant to give up their defenses.

"Shouldn't it?" Yan Lide put down his hand and said to the few people who were in charge of lighting the fire just now, "Are you sure you lit it?" ”

The craftsman shook his head and said, "I was pretty sure, but now, I'm not sure. ”

"The old man is going to take a look." Yan Lide is still a little unwilling, but this also shows that he is really bold, in case he blows up as soon as he walks over, such a close distance is definitely enough for him to drink a pot.

"I'll go." The craftsman immediately said, "I ordered it, and in case of any accident, please take care of my wife and children." ”

With that, the craftsman immediately stepped out.

It's not that he is really brave, but he is responsible for the ignition, if he really blew up Yan Lide afterwards, it would be strange that Li Er could let him go.

The key is that it may also affect his wife and children, so he simply took the initiative to ask for help, solved his own problems, and finally gained a good reputation.

Seeing them like this, Li Er immediately signaled to the soldiers around him, and the soldiers immediately stepped forward and said, "Get out of the way, I'll come." ”

As he spoke, he walked straight over with a horse lance.

There was no hesitation at all, and he directly picked up the wooden box with a horse lance, and after checking it, the soldier came back and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the fire is extinguished." ”

"Didn't ignite?" When Yan Lide heard this, he was a little puzzled.

This is the embodiment of illiteracy, in later generations, primary school students can tell him the reason, but at this moment, the leader of the Tang Dynasty craftsmen is puzzled. (This paragraph is by no means for the sake of water word count!) ）

"So, dig a hole in that wooden box, and make sure you set it on fire." Yan Lide continued, "Your Majesty, give Weichen another chance. ”

Li Er nodded, but didn't say anything.

It's normal to make mistakes.

Soon, the second time began, and this time there was no need for cooperation, but the craftsman blew vigorously with the fire fold, and even blew out an open flame, and then threw it into the hole, and the moment he finished throwing, he ran away.

"Hold on!" Yan Lide still shouted subconsciously.

Although everyone still did it, because of the first oolong, this time everyone didn't take it seriously, although the action was done, but there was no expectation in their hearts.

Bang!

At that moment, a loud noise sounded loud enough to shock their souls.

The stone that was originally pressed on the wooden box flew up directly, and it happened to hit the craftsman who had not yet run to the cover, which directly caused the craftsman to step on it and fall firmly.

And the wooden box was also blown to pieces, and the sawdust scattered like shrapnel.

As for the original location of the explosion, a thick black smoke also rose at this moment, covering the explosion point under this thick smoke.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

Li Er stood up straight, pushed away the soldiers in front of him, and walked out with an excited face.

"A sharp weapon, really a weapon of war!"

He wasn't scared at all, but he was still a little excited.

Yan Lide ran out quickly before Li Er came out, he thought that the craftsman was injured, but when he got closer, it was okay, he really just fell.

"Your Majesty, you can't go any further." Seeing that Li Er was still walking forward, Duan Lun and a group of guards and attendants stopped in front of him.

Li Er waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you see that General Yan also ran out, since he dared to run out, it means that it is over." ”

Saying that, pushing everyone away, Li Er walked directly to Yan Lide's side: "How is he?" ”

Yan Lide, who was still squatting on the ground, immediately helped the craftsman to stand up together, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, this kid is lucky, this stone flew over his head, and it didn't hurt him!" ”

"Yes, not bad." Li Eryi said two in a row that it was good, but he didn't know whether it was that this black powder was good, or that Yan Lide or the craftsman was good.

But everyone knows that today's Li Er, Longyan Dayue!

"How many people are involved in this black powder matter?" Li Er immediately asked.

As soon as Yan Lide heard this, he immediately understood: "Back to Your Majesty, there are a total of fifty-one people involved in the research of black powder. ”

Just as he was about to speak, Li Er suddenly stopped, thought for a while, and then said, "You take him back to rest first, and then write a detailed piece of music about the black powder to me."

Moreover, the prison will also send a group of people to be responsible for the research of black powder, and no matter what is needed to study black powder, I can meet your needs!

In the future, he will supervise and study anything, and the imperial court will fully support it.

By the way, the fifty-one people who participated in the research of black powder before, according to the amount of contribution, you will make a list in turn, and I will be rewarded. ”

He's so happy today.

Not only is it the excitement of this new weapon of war brought him, but also the excitement that he can control this power!

When Yan Lide heard this, he immediately bowed down and said, "Weichen will arrange it immediately." ”

He knew very well that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come.

And after they left, Li Er immediately sent a military order to transfer one of his own personal soldiers to the general as a prisoner.

From today onwards, the prison will be the most heavily guarded place in Datang except for a few places.

"General, do we really want to study this thing?" In the prison, a craftsman whispered, "This thing will definitely take the lives of countless people in the future, what is the difference between this and killing people with our own hands?" ”

Yan Lide sighed and said, "If we still want to make a difference, then this black powder has to be studied all the time!" How can you have both? ”

He didn't want to study these murderous weapons, but he knew that what Li Er valued most now was the murderous weapon, and he had no choice but to do what he liked.

Otherwise, why do you think he would have started planning this earlier?

Isn't it for today?

The key is that he didn't have a satisfactory answer to Li Er, and Li Er wouldn't even give him a blank piece of paper.

Opportunities, it has always been like this, always to do something that you don't want to do, and strive to do what you want to do.

It's just that he doesn't know that it is this idea of his that will completely change the shape of warfare for thousands of years in human history, and this process may be long, but it may also be short.

As for whether it is good or bad, how many people can tell?

Some people may think that he is a hero, and some people may think that he is a devil.

But after all, it was he who opened Pandora's box with his own hands......

(To explain, free, black powder was first in the Tang Dynasty, and the aforementioned Qingxuzi was tossed out of Sun Simiao's Danfang.) In other words, it appeared in the early years of Zhenguan, in fact, it did not violate the harmony. ）
