Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 184 A false alarm

"Twenty boxes of what?" Shen Haolin was startled when he heard this, "Thunder tube?"

"Yes, Lord Guo!" Ying Wu nodded, "Don't worry, Vice General Shen and Vice General Wei have already taken out the detonator and sent it to the rear army's weapons battalion, and there will be special personnel to check it."

"Has it been delivered now?" Seeing Ying Wu nodding, Shen Haolin stood up, "I'll go and see!"

"I'll go too!" Shen Cha also stood up, "I'm really worried if I don't go and have a look."

Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing agreed, and they also began to wear cloaks, preparing to see what kind of formation twenty boxes of lightning tubes would look like.

Shen Haolin took Shen Cha, Xue Ruitian, and Jin Jing to the military camp to watch. Jin Miaomiao and Hongye were not interested in any kind of gunpowder, and thought that gunpowder was not good for girls' skin. She wanted to persuade Shen Cha not to watch it, but considering that it was her duty as a general of the Chinese army, she didn't say much.

When Shen Haolin and the others arrived, Lu Shengyuan received the news and came out of the big tent to greet him, and Mei Zhu, who came to give him the rules of the martial arts competition, also ran out behind him and stood behind Shen Cha.

"Marshal, Marquis, Military Advisor, General Shen!" Several people saluted each other, and Lu Shengyuan sighed, "The things have already been delivered, and the empty field over there is very empty, even if one accidentally blows up, it won't be too late." It will hurt innocent people, Marshal, please rest assured." He looked at Shen Haolin, "Please Marshal, please take care of the overall situation and don't go to see it in person, right?"

"I'd better go and have a look, so I can rest assured." Shen Haolin patted Lu Shengyuan on the shoulder, and took the lead in walking in the direction he pointed, while Shen Cha followed closely behind him.

"Hey, Master Hou, military advisor, wait a minute!" Lu Shengyuan grabbed Xue Ruitian with one hand and Jin Jing with the other, "What's going on? When Xiaojiu sent someone to ask for someone from me, I was stunned. Why? Will this kind of thing be found in a residential house? Thunder and fire tubes, one box and two boxes, the lethality is only average, but this is twenty boxes, how did Zhen Xing get this? Mainly because this person is now Where is it? We have to catch him and not let him escape, this is a very dangerous man!"

"Hey, Lao Lu, there is no need to arrest this man, he is now in Yizhuang!" Jin Jing patted Lu Shengyuan's arm, "The bombing at the temple fair yesterday killed him. I don't know if it was normal He has done too many bad things and never done them, and the one who killed him was a child, his own nephew."

"Dead? Oh, that's great!" Lu Shengyuan patted himself on the chest, "It's really timely to die. If he wants to use up these twenty boxes of lightning tubes, our Jiaping Guancheng must become the laughing stock of Daxia Let’s not talk about shame, none of us can get away with it, there is no need to send people from Xijing to tie ourselves up, and go back to Beijing to plead guilty to His Majesty.”

"Isn't that the case!" Xue Ruitian nodded, "The so-called lucky people have their own appearance, we are all good people, so we will naturally turn bad luck into good luck."

While talking, a few people came to the empty field, and saw that a few experts from the Weapons Battalion had already opened twenty boxes and were counting the number of lightning tubes inside. When they saw them coming, they stopped their work and saluted .

"Excuse me, it's hard work not letting you rest during the Chinese New Year." Shen Haolin waved his hand, looked at the box, and then at the neatly stacked lightning tubes inside, "How much is it in total?"

"Back to Marshal, each box contains ten pieces, a total of two hundred pieces."

"Two hundred?" Shen Cha frowned, squatted in front of the box closest to her, and picked up one, "Where did he get the gunpowder? Can he make so many lightning tubes at once?"

"Be careful!" Shen Haolin also reached out to take one, and looked at it carefully, "Why is it different from the lightning tubes we usually see?"

"It's different!" Xue Ruitian also came over, "Give me a look."

All the experts in the weapons battalion saw the marshal, deputy marshal, and general all playing with detonator tubes, which made them nervous and collapsed. If something happened to them, they would not be able to bear the responsibility .But they spoke lightly, so they had no choice but to look at Lu Shengyuan for help, hoping that the general of the rear army could stop these people's behavior.

Who would have thought that Lu Shengyuan not only did not stop him, but also joined in the fun, oh, not in the ranks of inspecting the lightning tube.

"Military division, here's one for you!" Lu Shengyuan took one for himself, and another for Jin Jing. He first put it under his nose and smelled it, "It's strange, what kind of smell is it? It doesn't smell like gunpowder." Eh!"

"Really?" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha smelled the lightning tube in their hands at the same time, and Shen Cha nodded, "There is only a little smell of gunpowder, and the rest... feels like some kind of medicinal material." While speaking, she While pulling out the fuze on the top, he pulled out the short knife in the boot shaft, carefully scratched the outer paper, picked up the powdery object inside, and looked carefully, "Most of the fine soil, gunpowder only a little A small part."

"General!" An expert surnamed Jiang came over and explained Shen Cha, "This is not fine soil, but quartz powder, a very fire-resistant raw material."

"No detonation or explosion effect?"

"So far, it has not been found to have this function." Jiang Nengshou nodded and called his brothers to disassemble all the lightning tubes for a careful inspection. "In a detonator tube, quartz powder accounts for eight parts, and gunpowder accounts for two parts."

"But, what's the use of making such a thing?" Shen Cha looked at Jiang Nengshou in puzzlement, "Actually, it can still be used to hurt people, right? It's just that the damage is not as powerful as we imagined Strong, right?"

"Yes!" Jiang Ace nodded, "If it is twenty boxes of pure lightning tubes, if they are ignited together, half of Jiaping Pass City can be blown up. But if it is twenty boxes of such tubes, probably only Blowing up half a street or a small half of a street, if there are still squibs, is even less powerful."

"If it's a house with a shop and three courtyards, it should be razed to the ground, right?" Shen Cha rubbed his chin, "Not only will the house be destroyed, but the people inside will also be killed. right?"

"The general is right! If it is limited to such a range, this level of detonator can be done."

"Cha'er, what do you mean..." Shen Haolin lifted Shen Cha from the ground, "Zhen Xing's purpose is to completely destroy Zhen's Winery, including the people in Zhen's Winery."

"It should be!" Shen Cha sighed, "Unfortunately, before his plan was implemented, he was killed by the bomb first, which can be regarded as a retribution for the world. By the way..." She looked at Jiang Ace, "This quartz Can powder and gunpowder be sifted out separately?"

"There is no problem with this, we have specialized tools to do it."

"Then I'll trouble you!" Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin, "Let's go? Don't disturb the experts' work!"

"Okay!" After taking the thunder and fire tubes that Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing were still studying, Shen Haolin handed them back to Expert Jiang, thanked them for their hard work, and dragged a few reluctant guys away from here. "Fortunately, it's not a real or a complete detonator, otherwise, we would be in big trouble."

"Thank God!" Xue Ruitian bowed, "This can be considered a false alarm."

"It was indeed a false alarm, but where did he get this gunpowder?" Shen Cha asked in confusion, "He is the owner of a food stall."

"If gunpowder only accounts for two shares, his source will be very good." Xue Ruitian patted Shen Cha's shoulder, "Fireball battle!"

"Yes, firecrackers!" Jin Jing and Lu Shengyuan said at the same time, "He obviously hasn't been doing this for a long time. Generally speaking, when the twelfth lunar month comes, there are firecrackers in the city. He only needs to buy firecrackers and put The gunpowder inside is removed, and then mixed with a large amount of quartz powder, these twenty boxes of suspected detonators can be made."

"That's right!" Shen Cha nodded, "This kid is really smart enough, but it's a pity that this smartness is not used in the right place."

"Smartness is misunderstood by cleverness, which refers to people like him." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows, "Hey, Xiaojiu and Zixin haven't come back yet?"

"They said that there are too many good things in Zhen Xing's house, and we have to find them all." Ying Wu, who had just run back from the outside, heard Shen Haolin's question and explained, "This subordinate just went to see the Regarding the situation on the side, my lord, I'm afraid you need to prepare some money to rebuild that street!"
