Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 88 Gunpowder

Wei Hao and Minister of Industry Duan Lun had just arrived in the room when they heard that the water was running out. Wei Hao didn't react immediately, and all the others ran out. Wei Hao then followed him out and found one The room was smoking, and many people rushed in with water. Wei Hao realized at this moment that it was on fire.

After a while, no smoke came out of it, and Duan Lun walked over with a black face.

"What's going on?" Duan Lun asked unhappily.

"This, Duan Shangshu, I was researching that gunpowder, and I didn't control it well, and I accidentally gave it." A middle-aged man walked over shyly and said to Duan Lun,

When Wei Hao heard this, he said, he is a researcher of gunpowder, so he also walked over.

"You say every day that you want to study gunpowder. Gunpowder is definitely useful. It's been three years, and there's still no movement, you, eh." Duan Lun looked at the middle-aged man angrily at the moment.

"Research on gunpowder, what did you find out?" Wei Hao hurriedly picked it up next to him, looking at the middle-aged man and asking.

"This is still not good. Sometimes it can be lit, and sometimes it can't be lit." The middle-aged man looked at Wei Hao and said hesitantly.

"What's wrong with this, let me see." Wei Hao looked at the middle-aged man and asked, while the middle-aged man looked at Duan Lun.

"This is Lord Wei, who has just been named a marquis, to instruct us to make fine salt. Lord Wei, this is a principal of our Ministry of Industry, called Wang Jun, hey, every day he said he wanted to study gunpowder, but he saw some rivers and lakes. The liar has made flammable soil, and he wants to make it himself, but it has been three years with no progress." Duan Lun introduced Wei Hao as he spoke.

"Well, gunpowder does have a very big effect. If it is researched, it will bring great help to our Tang Dynasty." Wei Hao nodded and said with appreciation.

"Master Wei, you still have a good eye. If the gunpowder is made well, it will definitely have a great effect. For example, it can burn some things that we can't burn. If our army is fighting against the enemy, we will give them food and grass. Sprinkle some gunpowder, a little fire, the gunpowder can spread quickly, and the enemy will be too late to put out the fire, so it can quickly destroy the enemy's food and grass." Wang Jun said to Wei Hao excitedly at this moment, feeling as if he had found The same as the bosom friend.

"What the hell? Isn't it better and faster to use gasoline? Gunpowder is used this way, you?" Wei Hao heard that and felt that the other party didn't know the purpose of gunpowder at all. Too big for too little use, right?

"This, what is gasoline? Does it burn better than gunpowder?" Wang Jun was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"You don't know. Gunpowder is more useful than you think. Let me see what materials you have prepared." It was found that the saltpeter was a lot of impurities. Wei Hao also found the sulfur, but it didn't work. Wei Hao looked at it carefully and shook his head, and Wang Jun also came over at this moment, looking at Wei Hao.

"This, Lord Wei, do you know how to make gunpowder?" Wang Jun looked at Wei Hao tentatively and asked. "Yeah!" Wei Hao nodded.

"I, Lord Wei, you're a lot older than you, but don't make a big deal out of it. How can gunpowder be made by someone your age?" Wang Jun heard it and wanted to say that what Wei Hao said was Bullshit, a hairy boy actually came to him and said he knew how to make gunpowder, but now Wei Hao is Marquis, and he didn't dare to say it when it came to his mouth, so he could only change it in a tactful way.

"Cut, it's not difficult, you go out, I'll make something for you, so that you can see and see, and also, get some bamboo tubes over here!" Wei Hao looked at Wang Jun contemptuously and said, Wang Jun heard it and hesitated for a while.

"What are you afraid of? Afraid that I will burn your room? Ask me, Wei Hao, how rich I am. I earn several houses a day for such a house." Wei Hao said while staring at Wang Jun.

"This, yes!" Wang Jun nodded helplessly when he heard Wei Hao say this.

"Master Wei, otherwise, let's go get some fine salt first, this gunpowder is not important." Duan Lun came to Wei Hao at this moment and said to Wei Hao.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of a while, save the people on your side who always look at me with contempt, as if you are the most powerful. No one dares to say number one." Wei Hao said to Duan Lun,

When Duan Lun heard it, he looked at Wei Hao with a sigh, that's all, isn't it just blowing?However, I also heard His Majesty say this person before. The young man in front of him never speaks without thinking. I don’t know how many people offended by this mouth. His Majesty also specially reminded himself not to be irritated by his words. Those words Wei Hao said were not heard.

"You don't believe it, do you?" Wei Hao immediately asked after seeing Wang Jun's expression.

"No, no, Lord Wei is young and talented, how can we be compared?" Duan Lun immediately flattered Wei Hao and said.

"Bullshit, you're coaxing me as a child? Still a young talent? Come on, you all go out and talk about it when I get it out." Wei Hao knew exactly what the other party was thinking, but he didn't believe in himself at all.

After Wei Hao waited for them to go out, he began to use tools to carefully filter the sulfur and saltpeter impurities, and then began to mix them according to the proportion. After the mix was completed, Wei Hao took out some, put it on the ground, and took out Flint, hit it, and with a hoot, all the gunpowder was burned, leaving a pool of ash on the ground.

Then Wei Hao opened the door and shouted to Wang Jun outside, "Where's the bamboo tube, besides, get some paper here!"

"Ah, good!" Wang Jun said and handed the bamboo tube to Wei Hao, while he went to get the paper.

After a while, the paper was brought over, Wei Hao looked at the small bamboo tubes, filled himself with gunpowder, then stuffed it with the paper, and then wrapped the gunpowder in the paper to make some simple fuzes. , now can only do simple,

After everything was done, Wei Hao went out with eight bamboo tubes. When he got outside, he asked Duan Lun, "Do you have any space here or there?"

"Behind, there is a large open space behind." Duan Lun said to Wei Hao puzzled, wondering why Wei Hao was looking for an open space.

Wei Hao walked over with the bamboo tube, Wang Jun hurriedly followed, and now he didn't know what to do, and some craftsmen followed. After all, this kid in front of him is bragging, but he is second to what he is talking about here. , No one is the first, if it wasn't for the fact that he was Lord Hou, they insisted on past theories.

When he got to the open space, Wei Hao found some dry mud to plug the bamboo tube, and then stuffed stones in the opening of the bamboo tube. He just didn't want to wait until it was ignited, and the pressure would not be high enough to cause it to explode. After everything was done, Wei Hao said. Hao put one on the ground.

"Stay far away, the farther the better!" Wei Hao squatted on the ground and shouted to the people behind him.

"Master Wei, what do you want to do?" Duan Lun immediately asked Wei Hao, not knowing what Wei Hao was doing.

"Let you all see the power of gunpowder, go back!" Wei Hao shouted to them, Duan Lun and the others heard it, and took a few steps back.

"Continue to retreat, hurry up, I've released a lot, it's better to retreat behind those pillars, if you don't retreat, don't blame me if you're injured later." Wei Hao shouted to those people.

"Master Wei, don't give a shit. We have seen some people make gunpowder, but it burns faster." One of the master craftsmen couldn't stand Wei Hao anymore, so he shouted at Wei Hao.

"If you want to retreat, you will retreat, you are so nonsense, hurry up!" Wei Hao continued to urge them to shout, and after they heard it, they took a few steps back again.

"Okay, you're all masters, okay, I'm going to the front, don't follow me!" Wei Hao was helpless. Those people didn't believe that there were stones in their bamboo tubes, and they would explode and jump. When they came out, they were injured by the time, and they still had to take responsibility.

About 2 meters away from the wall, Wei Hao stopped, turned his head to look behind him, and found that the people behind him did not follow him.

Wei Hao immediately lit the fuse with a fire stick, turned around and quickly ran towards those people.

"Get down, get down!" Wei Hao shouted loudly. After running for a while, Wei Hao began to block his ears and continued to run.

"What are you doing? It's like a lunatic!" Those who saw Wei Hao like this, all looked at Wei Hao with contempt, Duan Lun was also very helpless.

"Get down!" Wei Hao immediately fell down when he got behind those people.

With the sound of "Boom!", the ground shook and the mountains shook, and the people standing there were shocked.

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

"what happened?"

"What's the matter!" Those people stood there, all stupid, some people felt that their forehead was hit by something, and it hurt a little.

"What's going on?" At this moment, Li Shimin also heard a huge explosion on the side of the Ganlu Palace, and then heard the neighing of the war horses in the entire palace, and some war horses even ran.

In the palace, the pets kept by the concubines were all scrambled together, and outside Chang'an City, some dogs also barked, and many people were frightened. The people who came from the place were scared to death, and some people were guessing whether God was angry, otherwise, how could there be such a loud noise.

"Hey, how's it going?" Wei Hao got up from the ground at this moment and smiled smugly at the people who were standing there in a daze.
