"More than 300 catties of saltpeter, more than 200 catties of sulfur, if it is an ordinary alchemist, it can only make fifty or sixty catties of gunpowder at most, and a professional alchemist like me can at least double it!"

Zhuo Wenxi counted the saltpeter and sulfur, stroked his chin and said: "But these two materials are not enough, if you want to make explosives, you must also have toner, a container for gunpowder, and a fuse for ignition......

"Miss Zhuo, now we are all revolving around you, if you have any requirements, just ask, I will help you get them." Yan Yunting said with a smile.

Zhuo Wenxi thought for a while and said: "First of all, I need enough dry firewood to boil and refine saltpeter, and secondly, I need to make some charcoal to mix explosives, so I need a few solid woods, and then I also need some old bamboo, the older the better, as a container for gunpowder, and then I also need some hemp rope as a lead." ”

"That's too easy, I'll get you these things right away." Yan Yunting said that he was about to act.

"Slow down," Zhuo Wenxi stopped him again: "I said the general things, but some details haven't been finished yet-solid wood must be absolutely dry, so that the charcoal produced is pure enough; Old bamboo, try to choose more bamboo joints; There is also a hemp rope that should not be too thick or too thin, half a little finger is the most suitable, and the made hemp rope must be soaked in kerosene for two hours so that it can burn. ”

"No problem, no problem!"

If nothing else is in the mountains, there must be the most wood, and how difficult is it to find a dry solid wood?

Ding Jiujiu was responsible for collecting firewood, Yan Yunting was responsible for finding old bamboo and solid wood, and Ouyang Bingyan stayed behind to make hemp rope.

In less than an afternoon, several people prepared all the materials.

Zhuo Wenxi put the saltpeter into the big iron pot in the back kitchen, mixed it with a whole pot of water, burned the stove to a red one, and finally put in solid wood and began to cook and purify.

"Make an earthen kiln in the yard, brush the old bamboo with a layer of lard, and cook it for half an hour, so that the bamboo will become very hard; Don't extinguish the coals in the earthen kiln, don't burn too vigorously, I'll use it to make charcoal later; Also, if the twine is soaked and give it to me, I have to see how well it burns, and if it goes out when the wind blows, then the explosives will not work......"

Scrupulous.

Of course, gunpowder must be made meticulously.

"Miss Zhuo, do you need me to help you light the fire?" Yan Yunting took the initiative to ask.

"No, no! Don't touch my stove! Whether it's alchemy or stir-frying, heat is the most technical test! And it's saltpeter boiled here, and if it explodes, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Zhuo Wenxi pushed Yan Yunting out of the kitchen and advised: "The most important thing in alchemy is meditation, your task has been completed, it is better to stay outside, and if you can, don't bother!" ”

"Miss Zhuo, when will you be able to make this gunpowder?" Yan Yunting asked.

"It may take two or three days for a normal alchemist, but with my skills, I can do it tomorrow!"

"Smack!" Zhuo Wenxi closed the kitchen door in various ways.

Is it true that every alchemist has a somewhat stubborn temper?

Yan Yunting smiled bitterly, went back to the house and got a jar of wine, jumped on the roof and started the vigil, looking at the curling smoke, he really had to take precautions.

But before he could take a sip of wine, the "Boom Boom ......" cable suddenly shook slightly.

Got a cable car coming?

Ouyang Bingyan and Ding Jiujiu also walked out of the post station when they heard the sound.

A cable car came across the mountain, and after a while, it stopped at the connection point, Shen Kuo jumped out of the cable car first, and in addition to that, he was followed by three Tsing Yi swordsmen.

Nalan Yuanxiu.

"Miss Nalan?" Yan Yunting was not surprised, "Why do you ride the same cable car with Shen Zhutou?" ”

Shen Kuo said with a smile: "As soon as I went to Yuzhou City, I found that they were entangled with poisonous people, and then they came back together. ”

The clothes of Nalan Yuanxiu and the two swordsmen were almost stained red with blood, so you can imagine how fierce they killed.

"Aren't you walking along the upper edge of Yuzhou City? How could you get entangled with the poisonous people inside? Yan Yunting wondered.

Nalan Yuanxiu snorted lightly: "You are embarrassed to say that we had already passed Yuzhou City, but suddenly there was a storm in the city. Chaos, I guessed that you must be causing trouble, after a few thoughts, I decided to return to save you, who knew that you had already left, but I fell into the quagmire of corpses. ”

Yan Yunting smiled embarrassedly: "It's good to be safe, it's good to be safe......"

"Yan Shaoxia, did you successfully blow up the mine?" Shen Kuo asked.

Yan Yunting shook his head and told Shen Kuo and Nalan Yuanxiu in detail about what he had done today and the new round of plans.

After listening to this, Nalan Yuanxiu said in a deep voice: "That mine cave must be destroyed no matter what, and those monsters must not be allowed to transport another saltpeter out." ”

Yan Yunting said: "Originally, I didn't blow up the mine because I didn't have enough manpower, but now Miss Nalan and the two brothers from Tsing Yi Lou are also here, which is feasible." ”

"It's better to act now, it's only fifty miles away anyway, and it's not far." Nalan Yuanxiu said.

Shen Kuo was worried: "You can blow up the mine, such a big movement will inevitably make Kun Yucheng realize that our gunpowder has not been made yet." ”

Yan Yunting said with a smile: "Shen Zhutou, don't forget, I and several brothers from Tsing Yi Lou are all assassins, and it is not difficult to assassinate a few monsters." ”

Shen Kuo glanced at Nalan Yuanxiu and the two Tsing Yi guests, and seemed to smile: "To be honest, the people in Tsing Yi Lou are wanted by the government all year round, and I believe in their assassination ability." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, lead the way." Nalan Yuanxiu urged.

"Then Master Ouyang, you and Miss Ding will stay at the post station to protect Miss Zhuo, and we will go and destroy the mine."

"You have to be careful."

"Okay."

Without further ado, Yan Yunting, Shen Kuo, Nalan Yuanxiu and two Tsing Yi guests, a group of five people, each made light work, and ran in the direction of the mine.

……

Several of them had Nirvana force, and they acted very quickly, and they came to the vicinity of the mine in half an hour.

"Is that just a few little minions? It's not enough for me to drink blood! Nalan Yuanxiu glanced at the demon soldiers in the mine and disdained.

Yan Yunting said: "These demon soldiers are naturally chopping melons and vegetables for you, but there are still two poisonous Jiao and three or five hundred laborers in the mine, and they are already miserable enough to die by working day and night, and they really shouldn't be buried with them." ”

"Could it be that you still have a way to get them out?" Nalan Yuanxiu asked.

Yan Yunting pointed to a line of laborers at the gate of the mine, they should be strong men who had just been captured from a nearby village:

"I'm going to follow them into the mines."
