Han Xu straightened up and said in astonishment, "What's that?" Extinguished? ”

Lin Qiang and Liang Shuopeng, as well as Little Warrior and Thompson, nodded at the same time.

Han Xu turned around with a bitter face and muttered, "I really didn't see it at all." ”

Lin Qiang took a step forward and walked towards the corner where the gunpowder was burning, and several other people followed. Lin Qiang said as he walked: "How can I describe it to you? Did you let go of the hanging whip when you were a child? Han Xu and Liang Shuopeng both nodded.

Lin Qiang continued: "The feeling just now is a bit like pouring out the gunpowder in the whip when I was a child, and then rubbing it into a pile, lighting a fire, and it's gone." ”

As soon as he said this, the two people behind him could understand.

Liang Shuopeng turned his head and said, "No, Thompson." What kind of gunpowder did you get for us, is it damp? ”

At this time, Thompson was a little dissatisfied, and said angrily: "I have always been honest in business, when have I ever hurt you." Besides, can you still light it when you get wet? ”

Lin Qiang didn't say anything, just squatted on the ground and looked at the corner. It was found that Robin still had putty scraping on the brick wall, but now even the wall skin was not blackened, which shows that the power of this gunpowder is too small.

Lin Qiang squatted on the ground, looked up at Thompson, and waved his hand to interrupt Liang Shuopeng's words and said, "Okay Liangzi." He touched the ground, felt the temperature, and felt that it was not hot at all, and then he stood up, clapped his hands, turned his head and asked Thompson, "I said Thompson, you got this gunpowder for us, the power is relatively low." Is this the only way to get it? ”

As soon as Lin Qiang's words came out, Thompson was puzzled, he shook his head and explained: "No, what this and that." There is only one kind of gunpowder in this world, and that is the one in front of you. ”

The little soldier had been expressionless, and Lin Qiang signaled that it was okay and asked him to go back to stand guard. Liang Shuopeng and Han Xu glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Lin Qiang nodded and said, "Okay, it's okay." Then he put a professional smirk on his face, put his arm around Thompson's shoulders and said, "Well, anyway, I have to thank you first." Let's go, let's go down the mountain to the small courtyard, the meal is ready. ”

Liang Shuopeng also planned to pack up and go down the mountain to eat, but Lin Qiang waved his hand and said, "Liangzi, don't go down the mountain." What, I'll find someone to bring you food in a moment. You think about the gunpowder first, and I'll go up the mountain tomorrow to ask you about it. ”

Liang Shuopeng instantly made a bitter face and complained: "Brother Qiang, you really treat me as a person." ”

Lin Qiang smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything. This has happened more than once, but I believe Liang Shuopeng can understand it.

The road down the mountain was short, but it was extraordinarily long in Lin Qiang's heart. He thought that the arrival of gunpowder could change something in an instant, but it turned out that this gunpowder was too weak to be used at all.

But in fact, he can understand it when he thinks about it. If the gunpowder is strong, with the intelligence of the people of this world, such as Cheng Shaowei and Hou Pai, it is estimated that someone would have come to "explosion is art". What else can you do with these people?

Thinking about it, he also threw out the distracting thoughts in his mind, and there is a saying that "there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the bridge is naturally straight from the bow of the boat". No matter how difficult it is, it can be solved. He cheered himself up in his heart.

The next day, Lin Qiang went up the back mountain early in the morning and went to Liang Shuopeng's research center. Thompson's caravan left yesterday after dinner, as it had always been Thompson's habit, never spending the night with the mines.

Lin Qiang can't say much about this habit, but maybe businessmen, especially businessmen like Thompson, who are not "law-abiding" for this country, should be the norm for night walking.

After Lin Qiang arrived at the R&D center, he saw Liang Shuopeng still lying on the table. It is estimated that after a night of research, the headlights of the glass building are still on. The guards have all changed their guards, and Liang Shuopeng has not come out of the house.

Lin Qiang waved his hand to stop the salute of the guards sent by the mine guard, and then signaled that he did not speak. I just tiptoed around the room and watched, especially the gunpowder and instruments in front of the table where Liang Shuopeng was lying on his stomach. He watched it for a long time, and thought in his heart that he might not be able to live up to his good friends.

Everyone is now tired of thieves all day long, not to mention, and their lives are not getting better. Everything in the mine is based on lies, and if one day the lie is exposed, with the strength of the mine now, it will definitely be a disaster for the people in the mine.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiang couldn't help but sigh. But he didn't expect that he would wake up Liang Shuopeng, who was sleeping on the table, with a gentle sigh. Liang Shuopeng raised his head, rubbed his eyes, saw that it was Lin Qiang, and then said in a daze: "Brother Qiang, what time is it?" ”

Lin Qiang glanced at the old-fashioned mechanical clock made by Liang Shuopeng in the glass house, and said softly: "It's just past six o'clock." Why don't you talk about it later, is there a bed here? ”

Liang Shuopeng nodded and said: "Yes, with the original blacksmith shop, now the old house is more commemorative than practical, so I moved the bed and some living facilities there." The workers' quarters were also over there, next to the blacksmith's shop. ”

Lin Qiang smiled and said, "Are you going to sleep for a while?" Liang Shuopeng stood up, stretched, and then hammered his waist and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it later." I've also had a bit of a nervous breakdown lately. When I wake up, I don't like to sleep very much. ”

Lin Qiang suddenly saw a few white hairs popping out of Liang Shuopeng's head, and he realized something in his heart. Yes, the pressure is not just on him, but in the hearts of all. Only by solving the current predicament is their only way out.

Thinking of this, he was no longer hypocritical, but got up and asked, "What's the matter with this gunpowder?" ”

Liang Shuopeng put on his glasses, and then said with a halt: "Otherwise, this thing can only be used to make fireworks, there are too many impurities in it." ”

Liang Shuopeng took the glass plate, which was full of gunpowder, and pushed it towards Lin Qiang. Frightened, Lin Qiang dodged back.

Liang Shuopeng said with a smile: "You don't need to hide, this thing has a high stability." It's mixed with a lot of ash and dirt. And the ratio is not right. ”

Hearing Liang Shuopeng say this, Lin Qiang also sat down and asked, "Formula, what is it?" ”

Liang Shuopeng sat next to Lin Qiang, pointed to the gunpowder in the plate, and said, "Let's do a simple science popularization with you, anyway, you are a liberal arts student, and you can't understand it if it is complicated." ”

Lin Qiang waved his hand and motioned for him to continue. Now he is immune to the three words liberal arts student. Liang Shuopeng said: "I have always said that I have never touched gunpowder, I am not sure that the material composition of this world is the same as ours, so I need you to get me some." Now it's pretty much figured out. ”

Liang Shuopeng used the glass rod in his hand to pull the gunpowder, and chattered with Lin Qiang: "I still have theoretical knowledge. Let's just say that this gunpowder is basically three things, one is sulfur, one is nitrate, and the other is charcoal. ”

Lin Qiang clicked on the plate in front of him and asked, "Is there all of this?" ”

Liang Shuopeng nodded and said: "Yes, there must be, smell, look at it with a magnifying glass, and after lighting it, you can see some clues from the flames and ashes." But that is to say, the proportion is wrong, there is a way in this. ”

Lin Qiang frowned, he waved his hand and said, "You go on, I'll try to understand." ”

Liang Shuopeng smiled and said, "Just this thing, let's say nitrate." When there are more, this thing will be very powerful and can help combustion. If there is more sulfur, it will burn faster. Charcoal mainly increases stability and does not explode instantaneously. ”

Lin Qiang pondered for a while, then squinted his eyes and said, "Stable." Does that mean there's a lot of charcoal in it? ”

Liang Shuopeng sighed, leaned on the table, and said helplessly: "Yes." If the gunpowder is not in the right proportion, it can only be a cannon, a flower, and just a play. There's a lot of toner in it. Or how hard it is to burn. ”

Lin Qiang asked, "What should I do then?" Do you know the correct proportions now? ”

Liang Shuopeng nodded, shook his head again, and said, "To be honest, I can't remember clearly." But I can probably remember a little bit of it. I'll try it first. But let's just say, this thing is dangerous. Let me make me afraid that something will happen, do you have medical insurance? ”

Lin Qiang said helplessly: "I still have medical insurance, I don't even have a hospital." You can take it easy, you can't come up with a plan and let the workers of this world configure it. ”

Liang Shuopeng said "Huh", patted Lin Qiang's shoulder and said, "Brother Qiang, I said that you are enough to damage." In the past, we still paid attention to equality, so why should we treat them differently. ”

Lin Qiang said helplessly: "Then what should I do?" No one is a virgin, is it? Die in this world, and I can find a new one. Of course, it's also uncomfortable, just more care. If you're dead, I'll look for you. ”

Liang Shuopeng shook his head at this time and said: "Come on, they are all raised by their parents, and if you don't understand, it's easier to have an accident." I'll try to protect myself as much as I can. After all, the experience of the predecessors is all there. If you don't put too much sulfur, you can't blow it up without an open flame. ”

Lin Qiang also nodded and said, "Okay." But let me know one thing, I should really hurry up and get it at the hospital. If you don't want to, you have to be willing. He remembered that he had built a hospital with Gao Ting and Li Xueyuan, and these two people were angry when they pushed themselves out. If you don't get a hospital, who will take a look at yourself when you get sick in the future?

Of course, Liang Shuopeng didn't know about these things in the hospital. Lin Qiang can't talk to others about everything. It's just that it occurred to him that the time to solve these things is also a problem. One of the more tricky things in the mine now is the emergence of negative thoughts. I'll have to figure out how to solve it myself.

So Lin Qiang asked again: "Is there any way to make Thompson's gunpowder also have a little effect?" After all, it takes a long time to engage in formulas, isn't it? ”

Liang Shuopeng frowned and said, "Brother Qiang, this matter is in a hurry." Not to mention the whole gunpowder, even the cannon is laborious. But if you have a solution, it's not like it's nothing. ”
