Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 598 Wang Shilang Makes Gunpowder

Xie An's move really couldn't fault it, but it could break Wang Mi's little wings.

Wang Mi heard that he must be furious. Now that Wang Mi is generally calm, he is relieved.

"Indeed, since the slaves are here, it will be easier for us to discuss important matters. Maybe we can have better plans."

He Wuji said slowly, with some calculations in his heart.

Today, the group of people around Wang Mi, even if Fan Ning and others are included, still can't escape the frame of the children of a noble family, pure civil servants.

Thinking about the problem, seeing the problem has limitations.

And Liu Yu's background, life experience is completely different from theirs, and his temperament is also very different. His arrival will definitely broaden everyone's vision of seeing problems.

You can also meet Liu Muzhi by the way.

…………

"Common craftsmanship!"

"Pu Jiangzuo, are you alright!"

"Are you ok?"

"Can you still hear the little one talking?"

Bang Bang!
When the sky above the workshop was blasted open, and in a clear sky, suddenly there seemed to be a burst of smoke. The smoke was very light and quickly dissipated.

The craftsmen rushed over from all directions, and they came early, and even smelled the faint pungent smell in the air.

Like brimstone, and like something else.

The masters rushed over and saw Pu Chao, who was lying on the ground after the smoke cleared, panting heavily.

He quickly helped him up, looked at Pu Chao's absent-minded eyes, and thought he was stupid.

Is this bewildered?
Pu Chao sighed for several breaths, and finally eased over. In front of his eyes, all kinds of things gradually became clear.

"This thing is too powerful!"

"Can't hold back!"

"It's really unstoppable!"

"You must remember, these things, before Wang Shilang comes, no one can move!"

"Otherwise, something big will happen!"

The things that Pu Chao said were the raw materials he finally bought from Jinxian Pavilion. In the past few days, because of all kinds of troubles in Wang Mi's family, the work of continuing to develop the pistol was forced to be put on hold.

As a result, Pu Chao's head moved.

These raw materials are not unfamiliar to him, the master of the general workshop.

Although he is not a Taoist, he is quite familiar with the Boss Xin of the Golden Immortal Pavilion, and he also has some understanding of many Taoist alchemy methods.

For example, he can make lead, and lead can also be counted as one of the important raw materials for alchemy.Looking at these delicate ingredients, Puchao's palms are getting more and more itchy every day.

He doesn't care what the serious alchemy method is, just follow his own imagination. Anyway, he has the final say in the entire general workshop, and he is also relaxed.

All kinds of raw materials are piled up in the open air, and soil pits are dug, and all kinds of raw materials are mixed together according to a certain proportion.

Now that it has been mixed, it must be operated.

How to do it?

Hasn't the hole been dug already?
The method is self-evident, Puchao poured these mixed raw materials into the pit, waiting for the golden pill to take shape!
I only heard a sound, and the movement was simply earth-shattering!

Don't say it's a golden pill, I didn't even see a single thing in shape, a plume of smoke rose into the air, and with a loud bang, Pu Chao was choked down.

Is this thing just gunpowder?
That's right!
The power is indeed too great!

If used properly, on the battlefield, it will definitely kill the Quartet!

Boom!

"what's the situation?"

"What happened?"

"exploded!"

The huge roaring sound made the little pony under Wang Mi panic, and the horse hooves roamed. It took a lot of effort for Xiao Wang to control the pony.

Wang Mi, who was familiar with the sound, immediately blurted out when he heard the sound.

"What is an explosion?"

"Is this an explosion?"

Since fighting is still a man's business after all, this time Wang Mi brought the He brothers with him.

Now, the two brothers were looking at Wang Mi with dumbfounded expressions.

Wang Mi waved the whip: "Come on!"

"There must be something wrong!"

It really happened, and it was not small. Fortunately, the general use of sulfur and saltpeter was so little that it did not cause a catastrophe.

If all the raw materials were used at one time, the entire workshop might be cut in half.

Wang Mi rushed to the scene, and before seeing Pu Chao, he already knew what was going on here.

The slightly blackened soil pit, and the smell of gunpowder smoke that had not yet completely dissipated, reminded Wang Mi that an explosion had just occurred here!
"Wang Shilang, you are finally here!"

"This old man is in trouble!" The subordinates handed over the wet handkerchief, Pu Chao wiped his face, and when he saw Wang Mi coming over, he felt ashamed.

Wang Mi waved his hand, not angry at all.

"It's very rare for a general craftsman to have the courage to try!"

Science comes from creation, and creation comes from innate curiosity!
Pu Chao is over sixty years old, and he can still maintain a strong curiosity about all kinds of new things. How can we not be admired.

Many former sages arrive late, don't be afraid of the frost on the temples!

Although he is at this age, Pu Chao's thinking is sensitive and his intuition is also very bright.

There is a slight problem with the method of making gunpowder, but the general idea is correct!

This is really not easy. Without Wang Mi to lead the way, Pu Chao has already touched the door handle of the black powder!

"Pujiangzuo, I just went to ask those onlookers, and they also told me how you made gunpowder. In general, your method is correct, but, as you know, the development of medicine pills and other things Things, the details are very important, it can be said that the difference is a thousand miles away."

"In some details, you haven't done enough, and that's why the accident just now happened, but don't worry, with my shot, it's guaranteed to succeed."

Wang Mi patted her chest and blew it out. After blowing it, a cold sweat broke out on her back, and she always felt a little empty.

This, that, in fact, he hasn't really started to make gunpowder yet, and he can't say whether he can succeed in one fell swoop.

But, no way!
If you say it out, the water you pour out, just do it!
In difficult moments, the halo of the traveler will definitely cover him!

Having said that, Wang Mi came to the pit and carefully checked the specific situation. With the current technical means, if he wanted to produce a large amount of gunpowder, he could only use the "fire suppression method" passed down by Sun Simiao, the king of medicine.

The overall ingredients are almost the same as modern gunpowder, but it is X sulfur X nitrate X carbon, these main materials are indispensable.

But the key to the fire-fighting method is that it requires very important raw materials. Don't worry, although it is important, even in Dajin, where material is not rich, it can be found everywhere and is very easy to find.

When it needs to play, we will introduce it again.

Wang Mi called all the craftsmen who were mainly involved in making pistols together. After a while, he opened his cuffs and made an object.

"Wang Shilang, isn't this... saponins?" Pu Chao said in surprise.

For him, the soaphorn thing is used for washing clothes and bathing, and it has nothing to do with making gunpowder in any case.

Wang Mi nodded and said with a smile, "It's really a soap horn."

"We want to make something that can be preserved without spontaneous combustion and self-destruction for no reason. This saponin is absolutely indispensable."

"Also, charcoal is needed."

"Is there any charcoal?"

Hearing that what he did was generally correct, Pu Chao was so excited that Wang Mi had not said he wanted such a thing, but he had already made preparations.

Wang Mi's guess was right. Daily essentials like charcoal and saponin were easy to find in Jiang's workshop.

Soon, the masters brought the charcoal, and when they heard that the production of gunpowder still needs saponins, they made their own decisions and brought in a lot.

All the ingredients were ready, and Wang Mi began to show off his skills.

The so-called fire-fighting method of making gunpowder also needs to be cautious and proceed step by step during the entire operation.

Wang Mi mixed the sulfur and saltpeter in a certain proportion, until this step, which was no different from what Pu Chao did.

However, when Puchao did this, he did not have a clear understanding of the proportion, and just did it at will.

Therefore, the next step has not yet been carried out, and the two raw materials are on the verge of triggering, and an explosion occurs.Next, what Puchao's thoughts are, no one can know.

Wang Mi checked the saltpeter bought by General Chao and found that its color was crystal clear, white and bright, which comforted him.

"Pujiangzuo, the saltpeter you bought is in very good condition, it is indeed the best!"

"Where is this store, I'll take a look when I have time!"

To see, of course to see.

Saltpeter, that is, sodium nitrate, is something that exists in nature. However, because of different purity, it also directly affects the quality of gunpowder.

Of course, the higher the purity of the saltpeter, the better the quality of the gunpowder produced, which can be called black gunpowder.

Natural saltpeter is generally produced in deep caves, natural rock caves and other places. Seeing this high-quality saltpeter, Wang Mi immediately thought that this store must have a good source of supply for the saltpeter purchased by Puchao. .

Such a source must be controlled by oneself!

How can it live in the people and only be used by those Taoist priests for alchemy, it is too overkill!

Wang Mi mixed the mixed sulfur and saltpeter powder together and put it in a small frying pan. The next step is the more important step.

At his reminder, all the masters widened their eyes.

Make it happen!
Wang Mi lit the saponins one by one and threw them into the small frying pan. Just as the saponins fell, a small crackling sound suddenly sounded, and the smoke also evaporated.

Pu Chao was so frightened that he immediately covered his mouth and nose and stepped back slightly. Seeing his actions, many masters who had not watched the details of the explosion just now knew the specific situation.

It turned out that the loud noise just now happened like this!

However, contrary to the expectations of Pu Chao and many masters, Wang Mi's gunpowder, although he didn't know what kind of process there would be in the future, the noise was obviously not as big as that produced by Pu Chao.

Even, it didn't take long for the fire to go out.

If there is no fire, what use is this thing?
Although the masters still don't know the true face of gunpowder, they have vaguely felt that this so-called new medicine must be inseparable from fire.

Fire is the soul of gunpowder!
After the fire was extinguished, Wang Mi picked out the raw and cooked charcoal and mixed them together.

"Everyone, this charcoal is raw and cooked, but we use both to make gunpowder."

From the perspective of modern industrial production, gunpowder making is of course very easy, but in ancient times when there were earthwork workshops everywhere, it was definitely not an easy task.

In many links, as long as there is a little error, it is likely to lead to overall failure.

It's really disturbing.

The masters didn't take the idea of ​​raw and cooked charcoal to heart, and both eyes were fixed on Wang Mi's side.

Wang Mi added raw and cooked charcoal to a small frying pan, mixed with a mixture of sulfur and saltpeter, and fry it repeatedly.

This stir-frying time should be mastered in about three rounds.

Because of the saponin ignited, the fire properties of the remaining saltpeter have faded a lot.

And don't underestimate the raw material of saponin. Its main purpose is definitely to clean. In the process of making earth gunpowder, it mainly plays a role in supporting combustion.

However, igniting the saponin can produce an expansion effect with things such as saltpeter, so that the fire in the saltpeter can be impacted.

At this time, the crackling sound produced is also a kind of explosion.

The saltpeter-sulfur mixture that has not undergone this step can easily cause spontaneous combustion and cannot be stored for a long time.

The fried sulphur and saltpeter mixture can basically be called gunpowder, but these gunpowders are extremely hot and cannot be used yet.

In the small frying pan, raw and cooked charcoal is burning desperately. This process is called "subduing the fire." Its meaning is to subdue the fire nature of gunpowder.

According to the ancient recipe handed down by Sun Simiao, at least one third of the charcoal in the frying pan can be used to put out the fire.

"This charcoal is used a bit too much. It seems that next time I will use less." Wang Mi murmured while looking at the fire.

Although he felt that the time was almost right now, because there was still a lot of charcoal left in the pot, he did not dare to put out the fire directly.

"I think it's a bit too much, but I didn't dare to remind you." Seeing that the whole operation process was getting more and more protracted, He Maiyou jumped out to speak.

The expert of the aftermath, since he saw the problem, why didn't he speak just now, now that the charcoal has been poured in, it is not easy to take it out.

Wang Mi squinted him a few times, disdainfully.

While he was cooking, he had to calm down and not have the general knowledge of them.And make clear some of the precautions that he can explain so far.

Some of the masters around Wang Mi were overjoyed and seemed very interested, while others were still confused.

Wang Mi shook his head. It seems that many things cannot be heard by the masters just by explaining them.

"Amai, don't just stand and speak sarcastically."

"I have an errand for you, you must do it well."

When He Mai heard that he had an errand, he immediately became energetic.

"Speak quickly, I promise to do it well!"

He Mai was on his waist, full of confidence.

He Xiaohe has been traveling for many years. What battles have not been seen, and he has walked on the battlefield. What difficult situations have not faced?
He was confident that the errand Wang Mi gave him would definitely not be difficult for him!

Seeing He Mai's high-spirited appearance, He Wuji had a hunch that later, when Wang Mi's errand happened, someone would have to overturn the car.
