The rise of the prince

Chapter 155 Explosion is Art
"Xiao Qian, you're here too." Gillian asked happily when she saw He Qian when she came to the back mountain.

"Yeah..." He Qian hesitated, and hurriedly explained: "Yes, my father asked me to come to pay New Year's greetings. I just came to pay New Year's greetings. That's right, Sister Gillian, I am here to pay New Year's greetings."

Gillian held her hand funny: "Of course I know that Xiaoqian is here to pay New Year's greetings, and I didn't ask why you came."

"Really, oh. That's right." He Qian nodded quickly, feeling a little uncomfortable for some reason, always feeling bored, and seeing the beautiful and quiet sister Gillian, who was dressed up in front of her, felt even more uncomfortable.

Sister Gillian is beautiful and virtuous, and she is the most famous talented woman in Kyoto. She has a beautiful heart and can write poems and lyrics
And that bastard too, although he usually has a hippie smile on his face, is never serious, speaks and does things unrestrainedly, and usually doesn't show off, but as soon as he speaks, he can speak well, with outstanding literary talents, Sister Gillian and him are like golden boys and girls, a talented man, a talented woman , it fits very well.
"What's wrong with Xiaoqian? What's wrong with her? Are you uncomfortable?" Seeing that her complexion was not good, A-Jiao asked her concerned, and reached out to touch her white forehead.

He Qian hurriedly shook her head in a panic: "No, it's nothing, I just think you are so pretty today, Sister Gillian."

Gillian smiled happily: "Xiaoqian is also very beautiful, and she is much more heroic than me."

He Qian lowered her head: "Who would like a woman with a gun and a club?"

Gillian was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head and leaned over and said, "This is not something Xiaoqian would say, could it be that she has someone in mind?"

"No, no, not at all! Sister Gillian, don't talk nonsense." The little girl said anxiously, and Gillian also giggled.
The two girls were arguing over there, while Mr. De frowned at the "big firecracker" in Li Ye's hand on the other side: "Don't you think the sound of this firecracker can scare away the horses?"

De Gong shook his head and said: "It's no wonder you think so. Although you are smart and clever, you have a lot of tricks, but you have never been familiar with military affairs. You have never been in a battle. It is normal not to know the secrets. Otherwise, you would not be a master.

The war horses are different from ordinary chariot horses. During training, there are sergeants who specially use the sound of gongs and drums to startle them every day. After a long time, they get used to it. Once they are noisy on the battlefield, they will not startle away at all. And before the battle between the two armies, all the horses will cover their eyes with green mantles, so they are not afraid of the fire. No matter how big your firecrackers are, they will not be able to scare the Liao soldiers and horses. "

Speaking of which, De Gong smiled and shook his head, not disappointed, but rather happy, after all, this kid in front of him is so smart and close to a monster, it's good to make him suffer once, otherwise he will suffer in the future.

Unexpectedly, Li Ye smiled and said at this time: "Mr. De, my firecrackers are not ordinary firecrackers." He said that he personally took the big firecrackers to a low bush more than 50 feet away, and then dug a hole. The pit was buried, and De Gong followed curiously.

"Don't you want to hear it? Why did you bury this firecracker in the soil?"

Li Ye smiled mysteriously: "Just look at it." You can't just bury it. He stuffed about a catty of black powder into this big firecracker. In this era, a catty can be 16 taels!With so much black powder, if there is no soil to block the sound transmission, I am afraid that when it explodes, it will scare the neighbors around.

Li Ye exposed the lead wire after burying it, and then pulled Degong back, leading several people back sixty or seventy miles away, and hid behind a big rock.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so timid, but a small firecracker, why so!" Degong joked calmly.

Li Ye didn't care about his ridicule, and just ordered the five people seriously: "You all hide behind here, remember not to come out, and don't go forward."

The four little girls nodded and agreed in doubt. Only Degong stroked his beard and didn't care. After all, he was a person who had been on the battlefield, and he had never seen any kind of formation. The firecrackers are just bigger. As for it?

Shaking his head, he watched the boy turn over the stone, then carefully lit the fuse with incense in the distance, and ran towards this side as if he was running away. Degong's face turned black.
But then I became happy in my heart, because it was rare to see this kid so timid and fearful, he ran towards this side as if he was running for his life. Soon the kid ran behind the stone and pushed the four standing girls down one by one, not letting them go. They stood, and they themselves watched from the edge of the stone.

Degong disdains, as for what, this kid has never been so promising, it seems that as an elder, he has to be more prudent after going through the world, calmly watching the curling green smoke rising in the distance, it is the fuse that is burning.

The light of the fire moved slowly among the bushes, then climbed the hillside and disappeared on the top of the mound. Dezheng watched intently
Suddenly, a dazzling orange light group rose in the distance. It was the first time I saw such a bright artificial light source, which caused De Gong’s pupils to constrict instantly, and a phantom appeared for a short time, followed by a loud noise accompanied by an invisible impact. Chest tightness, shortness of breath.

The blue smoke rose, and many rocks and soil were like a big net, which was instantly thrown into the sky by the air waves and scattered in all directions. Many rushed to the surrounding low bushes at high speed. At this speed, even ordinary soil clods would become deadly weapons. Many shrubs near the explosion point were blown away by the air current, and those farther away were folded by sand and rocks. The terrifying crackling sound could be heard endlessly. It took a while for the huge sound to echo from the distant mountains.

The whole process took only a few seconds, and Degong was already on the spot in a daze, his hands and feet were trembling, and the faces of the four little girls turned pale with fright. The moment the detonation was just started, clods of soil flew at high speed and hit them around. The speed is too scary.

Li Ye quickly stood up and supported De Gong, who was still shaking all over.

"Tianlei, this is Tianlei!" De Gong said with trembling lips.

Then, ignoring his whole body trembling with fright, he quickly patted Li Ye's arm: "Quick, quickly help the old man over there to have a look!"

Li Ye helped him walk over, deliberately slowing down, because a large amount of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and potassium sulfide will be produced after the burning of a large amount of gunpowder, which will cause difficulty in breathing. Degong is old and unsafe, so he has to wait for the explosive gas to disperse.So he deliberately walked slowly, but there was still a lot of pungent chemical reaction gas left behind near the explosion point.

Degong didn't care about it, and he wasn't afraid of getting dirty. He lay down and touched the large hole that had been opened several feet on the ground, the scorching soil, and the circle of shrubs around him that were blown away. He was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Black powder explosives are relatively weak, much weaker than later generations of picric acid, nitroglycerin, and even nuclear explosions, etc., but they are still shocking and terrifying in the present.

The so-called explosion is art, and explosion is also an ultimate embodiment of destructive power, and the pursuit of explosion by human beings has always been persistent and never-ending.
