Chapter 450: The Ministry of Hongzhou
After telling Yijun that he should take protective measures during the experiment, Yijun prepared to go out to find these three magical materials, and then synthesize them into magical little black powder to see if they can really explode.
After thinking about it, if the gunpowder really came out, although the combat power of black powder belonged to the lowest grade of explosives, and when it was first invented by those alchemists, the power of the blaster could not even blow people up, at most it burned people's beards and faces, but in any case, this ancient black powder was also the ancestor of all gunpowder.
Only when it appears will the world understand that the truth is Patrick.
Yijun is about to go on a trip to tell the world that life is not only about poetry and distance, but also about dynamite and chemistry.
Of course, before leaving, Yijun finally remembered an important matter.
"By the way, you haven't said it yet, what is the name of the Southern Alliance..... It won't be the same as the Yang Emperor Mountain, just called the country of the shallow plains, right?"
That's a superficial name....
Yu Zai said: "The name, in order to commemorate the migration of the original water resistance, so the tribal alliance also used a simple name, just 'Hongzhou'." ”
"Of course, I also suggested an alias. ”
"It's called Changnan. ”
........
Later generations often have a misunderstanding about the development of gunpowder in ancient China, thinking that gunpowder was used as fireworks, of course, that was the operation in the early Song Dynasty, in fact, the production materials of gunpowder, as well as the nature of the material, were discovered in the Western Han Dynasty, as for the person who found it, of course, it is still our comrade Liu An.
The king of Huainan is a person who can do anything except rebel.
Huainan Wang's alchemy is a few blind refining, and finally he refined a lot of strange things, in his alchemy cauldron, the day before just refined tofu, the next day he threw sulfur and saltpeter into it.
Lao Tie, Mapo tofu have all been eaten, have you ever eaten explosive bean [Tian Lai fo] rot, this is strong, absolutely top!
And his colleagues also adhered to the spirit of blind refining, refining a series of strange chemical products such as mercury oxide..... In short, these things that are refined, eating them can indeed become immortals, it depends on how you understand the word "become an immortal".
In the Tang Dynasty, gunpowder was used in foreign wars, but because of uncontrollability, it was often used as a tool for blasting and arson, and during the Northern Song Dynasty, a gunpowder workshop was established, the so-called "sunrise crossbow gunpowder arrows 7,000, bow gunpowder arrows 10,000, tribulus terrestris cannon (gunpowder bag with barbed iron sheets) 3,000, leather artillery 20,000. ”
In the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", three gunpowder formulas and a variety of gunpowder weapons are recorded, which is the earliest record of the production process of hot weapons in the world.....
During the Imjin War, the Japanese attacked Korea with 40 artillery pieces, and the Ming army brought 1,000 guns when they went to support.
And the artillery of the Ming army is still a magic version of the cannon, the kind that solves the problem of exploding.... Upgraded to a charge-strong gun.
Therefore, since ancient times, the tradition has been that if you are poor, you will intersperse tactics, and if you are rich, you will blow up Lao Tzu.
.........
Yu Zai can even imagine that when the mountain needs to be opened in the future, Dayu will grow up to serve as the Sikong, if the gunpowder has achieved results in the opening of the mountain, the Central Plains people .....
Ditch the copper pickaxe in your hand and pick up this magical little black powder!
My lord, this thing is so useful!
After Yijun left, the blacksmith shop continued to operate as usual, and a few friends picked up the beams, and soon, the tribes who came to study also arrived, and the small place of the blacksmith shop suddenly became more populous, resulting in a lot of fur sheds supporting around....
Although it looks like a slum, the architecture of this era is like this, and the people live a very vibrant life, and not too many people think how simple these small homes supported by wood and fur are.
Not to mention, the stone slabs and bonfires that can be seen everywhere, and for a while, this place is even full of people, as if in a short period of time, it has become the largest producer of weapons in the entire south....
The entire Nanqiu, the original area can only accommodate 3,000 people, and the blacksmith shop is not cultivated land, so it is also within the range of the hills of Nanqiu.
After settling down the people and allowing them to develop a place to live and a new gutter drainage system, Yu Zai was ready to start making a ten-year plan, but after Yu Zai left, Ying Long wandered around and came here.
Of course, he was accompanied by Beimen Cheng.
As for the other Qi Refiners, Chi Songzi went back and said that he wanted to participate in the formulation of the ten-year plan, and according to the three of Liang, they continued to discuss the Heavenly Principles of the Great Sound and the Invisible Elephant, and they felt that this argument could be said for a long time.
Ying Long here, although he is said to be the big leader, he doesn't know where to go for the time being, and if he goes back to live in the cave, he can't fit in with others.
"Although I am in charge of indoctrination, the Elder Ancestral Land is not the place where I should stay..."
Ying Long walked around the blacksmith shop, touching here, looking there, he seemed to have nothing to do, and when he saw those places where copper was smelted, he couldn't help but sigh, thinking of Chi You who struck iron back then, and that was his own lost youth....
"You have to make a little contribution in the south, so that others can recognize you as a great leader, from the tribe, to the tribe..."
Beimen Cheng gave him an idea: "You don't want to work in the mill and be hungry for alcohol, but stealing is certainly not in line with your ancient identity." ”
Ying Long admired Beimencheng's dragon fart very much and seriously agreed.
"So, you might as well use your rain master's skills. ”
Ying Long and Beimen Cheng discussed, thinking that Ying Long could go to work at the Great Meteorological Observatory, which happened to be convenient for regulating the wind and rain, and after thinking about it, Ying Long learned about the great wonder that has been famous recently, so he looked happy.
With a place to work, with a work goal, the next thing is very easy to do, just drinks, but it's just equivalent to salary, I am a big leader of the Southern Alliance, I have been fighting since the Nuwa clan, and I didn't rest until after the Yellow Emperor, and now I have woken up and held an important position, do I have no more hobbies in private?
Can't you enjoy it?
"There's something I want to ask you, that Qiao Song, is it a red pine nut?"
Ying Long asked, although he had long known that Qiao Song was Chi Songzi, but it could also be Chi Songzi's younger brother Chi Liuzi, just like the grandson of the Xing, the grandson of the Xingzi.... The main reason is that Ying Long hasn't seen him for a long time, when Chi Songzi came to apply, Ying Long saw him once, didn't agree, and then .....
There is no then.
"He's a teacher now, the old gentleman has a lot of thoughts, and I found that there seem to be too many people gathered in this place in the south, right?"
Ying Long asked Beimen Chengyi, and Beimen Cheng said: "The years are changing." ”
"Hmm..... In short, let's do the things of the moment first. ”
