After waiting for two days, Lao Zhu was free here, gave a notice in advance, and walked to a secret base, which was heavily guarded, with three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and there were patrolling soldiers everywhere.

The accompanying officials introduced the results to Lao Zhu.

"Your Majesty, the one in front is made of nitroglycerin from the Pharmaceutical Bureau, let's try it, you can use gunpowder to detonate directly, such a small bottle, plus gunpowder, can blow up a big crater, dozens of times more powerful than gunpowder,. However, it is difficult to transport, and if it vibrates a little, it will explode, and many people have died here in Weichen. ”

"Those who die do a good job of the aftermath, you pay more attention. Since you said this thing is powerful, you put one and let's see what happens. ”

"That thing Weichen has added a lot of things here, and please ask Your Majesty Rong Weichen to add some scarecrows, so that you can intuitively see its power."

"Okay, just do what you say, let's bring a pair of eyes over and have a look."

"Your Majesty, please stay away, in case you disturb Your Majesty, your majesty's ministers will not be redeemed."

Lao Zhu didn't say much, he left obediently, and when he saw Lao Zhu leaving, the official gave instructions.

The powder flipped towards the jar containing the explosives, and the jar could be seen to be blown away, and then the entire jar exploded violently, scattering debris.

The scarecrow was cut to pieces by scattered fragments, and the shock wave from the explosion staggered the scarecrow, leaving a large crater in its place.

Lao Zhu, who was far away, could still feel a wave of air after the explosion, looking into the distance in horror, Lao Zhu endured the horror and walked forward in a daze.

"Is this what dynamite is made of nitroglycerin? Get some more, I'm afraid you can blow up a mountain. ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen felt that it should be possible, and he also tried to add some nitroglycerin, and the power has indeed increased greatly."

Lao Zhu, who gradually calmed down, looked at the messy ground in front of him, and then showed a look of ecstasy.

"Haha, such a killer weapon, even if it is inconvenient to transport. As long as a few cans are put on the march of the army, not to mention how many people can be killed, the blow to morale alone is unimaginable. If you attack the city wall and use some, it is useless to have a thick wall, and it is useless to blow him up directly, and the world will not be far away. ”

"Your Majesty is blessed with heaven, the destiny of heaven returns, we congratulate Your Majesty."

"Okay, there are many rewards, each person will be rewarded with five pieces of cloth, and you will be rewarded with ten horses."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Since the power is so huge, can the guns and cannons be used, and the power is even greater?"

Lao Zhu's sudden words made the officials led by him bow their heads in disdain.

"Your Majesty, it is true, even if the dose is reduced by a lot, it is still much more powerful than gunpowder. However, our cannons and firecrackers can't withstand such a great power, and they are easy to explode, and Weichen doesn't have a good way here. ”

The excited Lao Zhu was poured a basin of cold water, and gradually restrained his smile, and in this way, the usefulness of the explosives shrank a lot.

"What are the other uses you said earlier?"

"Your Majesty, you can also open mountains and break stones, and the power of firearms is also greater."

nxp, can you take back the reward you just promised, and this is the waste of your own cloth.

"That's it, you've worked hard, if it can be easily transported, if this thing can't increase the power of firearms, these alone will be enough."

"The ministers are incompetent."

After that, Lao Zhu watched the effect of the explosion of cannons and guns with nitroglycerin, and ended the trip with a little regret.

On the way back, I kept thinking that such a great power was really a bit of a vain.

Mao Xiang, who was like a shadow, looked at Lao Zhu's somewhat dissatisfied look and said quietly.

"Your Majesty, nitroglycerin was made by Zheng Tiling from Huimin Pharmacy, why don't you go and ask Zheng Tiling, maybe he has a way."

A word woke up the person in the dream, Mao Xiang's words made some sense, Zheng Xiong has done so many things, it's nothing to ask, what if.

"Then you go on a trip, bring ten brocades with you, and reward him with 100 copper coins, and ask him to withdraw them at the pharmacy himself."

Mao Xiang got the will and hurried to the pharmacy.

"Huimin Pharmacy Zheng Xiong Zheng received the order."

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says, Zheng Xiong of Huimin Pharmacy has made great contributions, and he will be rewarded with ten horses and 100 copper coins, and he will be admired."

Zheng Xiong looked at the ten brocades in front of him, and carefully looked at the things he brought, yes, ten brocades, what about the money?

As if seeing Zheng Xiong's doubts, Mao Xiang spoke at the right time.

"Your Majesty has a decree, and the withdrawal can be withdrawn at the pharmacy, and in addition, Your Majesty asked the official to come and ask if there is a way to solve the problem of nitroglycerin transportation."

And this kind of operation, it's outrageous, I haven't heard of it at all.

Nitroglycerin wants to stabilize the way, and he knows that since Pandora's box has been released, Zheng Xiong no longer hesitates.

"There is still a way, you can add sawdust to try."

The other Zheng Xiong didn't say much, the effect of Kuitu is worse than that of sawdust, and fibrous nitrocellulose and diatom mud involve knowledge blind spots.

Mao Xiang, who got the answer, was a little excited, Lao Zhu was happy, as the one who put forward the opinion, he must have been indispensable to his own reward, as for Zheng Xiong's credit, there is no need to say much.

Mao Xiang rushed all the way to the palace non-stop, and when he came to Lao Zhu, he hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, good news, Zheng Tiling said that just add some sawdust."

After a matter passes through the mouths of two people, the meaning is completely different, and it becomes an affirmative sentence.

"Are Zheng Xiong sure you said that?"

Lao Zhu was still a little unsure, so he asked again.

"Your Majesty, it's true, Zheng Tiling said it himself in front of the last general."

"Great, you can go over there again and get them to add some wood chips."

Zheng Xiong took the holy decree, first completed the day's teaching tasks, and then took the holy decree and called Wu Wei.

"Look, this is a holy decree issued by His Majesty, giving a reward, without any money, let me withdraw it at the pharmacy, you give me a witness."

The public is public, the private is private, this question can not be overstated, and the corruption will be gone.

Compared with what punishment is not a doctor, it has been passed down to this day, this hundred yuan is a huge amount of money, and Lao Zhu will not care about you.

Under the witness of Wu Wei, Zheng Xiong completed the withdrawal of the money, called a few bodyguards on the construction site, and brought the hundred guan home.

The family was very happy to see Zheng Xiong bring the reward home, money is secondary, the key is the satisfaction in it.

Putting the holy decree in his hand into the holy decree that was being offered by the incense burner, Zheng Xiong gave a reward of 20 wen to each of the strong men and sent the strong men away.

His sister-in-law Zheng Qian looked at Zheng Xiong more and more curious, and after staying for a long time, she could feel the difference between Zheng Xiong and couldn't figure out how such a lazy person was treated differently by Lao Zhu.

On the other side, the ministry arranged a deputy for Huimin Pharmacy, and he only had to take office after completing the procedures.
