Chapter 156: The Gunpowder Test Was Successful
After eating, a few people took a nap, and at the end of the day, the people below came up to play: "Your Majesty, the mud has dried up." ”
I got up and stretched, and commanded, "Let everyone come up, the lead is halfway up the mountain, right?" ”
The visitor arched his hand: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
I nodded: "Send someone to point the lead, and after you finish it, hurry up to the top of the mountain, I don't know how powerful this earth bomb is, or be careful." ”
The people who came quickly ran to the bottom of the valley, and soon all reached the top of the mountain, and one person ran to the top of the mountain quickly after lighting the lead, and just halfway through the run, I saw that the lead had burned more than half of it.
I was shocked, how did this lead burn so fast? Before I could remind him, the lead had already burned into the clay pot.
"Bang!"
A loud bang resounded at the bottom of the valley, and with the blessing of the surrounding earth and mountains, it resounded far into the sky like a thunderclap, and even the earth and mountains under his feet felt a little tremor, and then a small mushroom cloud rose.
The man who lit the fuse was startled and collapsed to the ground with his legs limp.
"Protect Your Majesty!" Meng He let out a loud shout and quickly blocked Li Si and Gong into the three of us.
At this moment, the craftsmen who were building the Temple of the Son of Heaven were working hard when they suddenly heard a thunderclap, and they all looked up and saw a puff of white smoke rising from the bottom of the valley not far away.
"Li Da, what's that?" A man was stunned and humanized to the people around him.
Li Da had already stayed where he was, muttering in his mouth, "Could it be that the mountain god is angry?" ”
But this mountain was artificially piled up when the construction of Shanglin Garden began, could it be that there were mountain gods to move in so soon? This immortal's movements are too fast.
Zhou Chi, the right colonel who took over Bai Chong, hurriedly ran out of the official office: "What's wrong?" What's moving? ”
Zhou Chi was in a cold sweat, good guy, could it be that the Temple of the Son of Heaven was struck by lightning? But on this sunny day, how can thunder in vain, this is a bad omen.
When he raised his eyes, the Temple of the Son of Heaven was safe and sound, and he saw the white smoke in the distance, confirming that it was not the Temple of the Son of Heaven that had an accident, and he felt a little at ease, and hurriedly beckoned the guards: "Send someone to take a look, what happened?" ”
The guard bowed down and said, "Right Colonel's order, Your Majesty went there this morning, there are forbidden troops around, and we are not allowed to approach." ”
When Zhou Chi heard this, he was immediately shocked, and roared angrily: "Bastard, why didn't Your Majesty come to Shanglin Yuan to greet me?" ”
The only thing that is being built in Shanglin Yuan now is the Temple of the Son of Heaven, although it is a royal garden, but I have never been here since I ascended the throne, so there are very few guards here, except for Zhou Chi, there is only one centurion. If something happens to me, I can't say that it will hurt the pond fish.
At this time, Centurion Yishan hurried over, and he didn't have time to salute, so he said nervously: "Right Colonel Order, what happened?" ”
Zhou Chi was on fire, but the centurion belonged to the Qin army, and it was not his turn to care, so he could only snort coldly and said angrily: "You still ask me?" You are the centurion of the Forbidden Garden, and you don't know that Your Majesty is here? ”
Yishan also noticed the white smoke at this time, wasn't it where His Majesty went? Dengshi's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "The right colonel orders forgiveness, I originally wanted to come here, but the subordinate said that you are drawing drawings, and no one should disturb ......."
After all, he is an official of 400 stones, although he has no affiliation, he can't afford to offend a centurion.
Zhou Chi waved his hand irritably, and hurried to the mountain: "Okay, let's go and have a look!" ”
Yishan hurriedly followed.
On the mountain, I was also stunned, and said to myself, "What's the situation? Why is it so powerful? ”
Logically speaking, powdered gunpowder is definitely inferior to granular gunpowder, and when I estimate the power, I estimate it according to the powder, at most it can be fried, how can it be so earth-shattering.
When I came back to my senses, I said, "It's okay, let's go, go down and have a look." ”
Li Si woke up when he heard my words, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, this thing called gunpowder is so terrifying, Your Majesty must not put yourself in danger." ”
I raised my feet and walked towards the valley: "It's already blown up, what are you afraid of." ”
Li Si was helpless, so he could only give Meng He a look. Meng He naturally knew, and hurriedly walked a few steps and fanned the three of them in the center.
When they reached the valley, everyone broke out in a cold sweat, only to see that the area around the explosion was already a scorched earth within a radius of three meters, with no grass and trees, and many clay pot fragments were inlaid on the trees next to it.
I nodded in satisfaction, and although the smoke was a little louder, the explosion was far more powerful than I had imagined. But we have to figure out why it's so much more powerful than expected.
"Let's go see the other one."
Now the three of them were not calm, Li Si bowed down and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not, the other one has not been blown up yet, what if it is blown up, it will ......"
Gong Yi Jin and Meng He also persuaded: "Your Majesty think twice! ”
Ignoring the dissuasion of the three, I walked to the mountainside: "What are you afraid of, don't panic. ”
Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, he didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, so he walked quickly in front of me and waved his hand to surround me in the middle.
Halfway up the mountain, Meng He stopped, turned around and suggested: "If Your Majesty has orders, the ministers can do it for you, and Your Majesty must not come forward." ”
I thought about it for a while, and I was also a little worried about the instability of this landmine, so I nodded: "Okay, you pour out the gunpowder inside, and the gunpowder poured out is not so powerful even if it is exploded." ”
Meng He bowed, turned around and poured out the gunpowder from the jar.
Li Si and Gong Jin stepped forward with me, and I reached out and picked up a pinch of gunpowder and twisted it gently. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder it is so powerful." ”
I turned around and smiled, "Normally, granular gunpowder is more powerful than powdered gunpowder, but I have overlooked one problem, that is, this gunpowder is made on the spot, saltpeter, stone flow yellow, and charcoal are mixed very evenly, and there is not much difference between granular gunpowder. ”
Gong Zhijin wiped his sweat and wondered: "Your Majesty, is there any difference between granular and powdery forms?" ”
I briefly explained the principle: "The reason why it is made into granules is because the gunpowder has to be transported after it is made. If it is in powder form, the three components will gradually stratify due to the weight of the turbulent transportation, and the unevenly mixed gunpowder will reduce the explosion power sharply, and the heavy will only smoke and will not explode. If you make it granular, you are not afraid that the three will be layered. ”
Then I explained in detail how to make granular gunpowder, and the three of them were terrified. Such a dangerous thing that is afraid of fire, it is necessary to stir-fry it in an iron pot to dispel dampness, good guy, if the temperature is a little higher, it will not ascend to heaven on the spot......
At the end, I smiled and said, "If you are afraid that you will not be able to master the heat, you can dry it naturally, but it will take too long." Remember to dry it, not to dry it, it will fry 100% in the sun......"
"Alright." I wiped my hands and said with a smile: "With this earth bomb, what Huns, what Baiyue, all kneel down and sing conquest for me!" ”
