Nanming: I can build wonders

Leeuwenhoek pinched the sun-dried sugar powder on the ground next to him.

It feels like glue has been applied.

"This……"

Leeuwenhoek couldn't help but let out an exclamation. Immediately, he looked at the piece of sugar gunpowder in his hand with piercing eyes, only to realize that there seemed to be some kind of transparent crystal substance permeating the surface of this piece of gunpowder. out.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have a new discovery!"

Leeuwenhoek shouted, Louis XIV couldn't help being a little surprised, but when he turned his head, he saw Vincent, holding the sugar gunpowder in his hand, cheering at him, and even dipped his fingernails on it. Gunpowder, then shouted.

"It's sweet, it tastes like fine white sugar!"

As expected of Leeuwenhoek, asking him to peep into the secrets of sugar and gunpowder is really overkill.

Although sugar gunpowder is not too clever technology.

It can be said that as long as there are a few available chemists, they can be researched carefully.

At this time, after hearing Leeuwenhoek's exclamation, Louis XIV couldn't help being taken aback. He didn't expect to be able to crack the sugar gunpowder so quickly.

Immediately, he grabbed the gunpowder, stretched out his delicate tongue, and licked it.

Immediately, the sweet and sweet smell, mixed with the smell of rust, and the problem of saltpeter, passed to Louis XIV's taste buds.

He said to Vincent with surprise.

"Mr. Leeuwenhoek, as you said, the ingredients in it are sugar, and there seems to be rust. Let's try it, and we will definitely be able to find out the ratio of sugar and gunpowder!"

"Your Majesty, you are right!"

Leeuwenhoek said with bright eyes, he realized that he had made a great contribution!
You can tell from the words of Louis XIV that he was called Mr. Leeuwenhoek before, but now he is called Mr. Leeuwenhoek.

Perhaps the charismatic King Louis XIV rewarded him with a knighthood when he pleased.

After knowing the secrets of white sugar, it is much easier to continue researching—you only need to mix saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal with white sugar separately, and then detonate to see the effect of the explosion .

The correct formula can be obtained after dozens of experiments at most.

Three days later, researchers led by Leeuwenhoek came to a conclusion.

That is, sugar gunpowder is a new type of gunpowder made by heating white sugar and then mixing it with other substances.

This kind of gunpowder is different from the previous gunpowder in that only fire salt is added, and no sulfur, saltpeter and other ingredients are added.

Since then, following Kangxi, someone has discovered the secret of sugar gunpowder.

In addition, part of the rust was added to the sugar gunpowder found on the Ottoman battlefield. Although they did not know what the role of rust was, they came to the conclusion after experimenting that a certain proportion of rust was added to the sugar gunpowder. The power is much greater than that of sugar gunpowder without rust.

At this time, after finding the correct ratio, Louis XIV collected all the white sugar in Paris!
It made Parisians have no sugar to eat!

Fortunately, the common people in Paris don't eat sugar very much, but the capitalists in Paris love sugar.

The capitalists are weak, they cannot incite the people who have no money to eat sugar to rebel.

It would be different if Louis XIV left the common people in Paris starved of food, and the French Revolution would have to start earlier.

After Louis XIV and others refined the sugar gunpowder, it was loaded into the imitation rocket body.

Immediately, a test firing was carried out on the banks of the Seine.

Louis XIV saw that according to the structure designed by the Ming people, the trajectory of the fired rocket was very stable, and it accurately hit the distant target, and its power was also very impressive!
All the people present were looking at them, their gazes were extremely solemn, and they shouted excitedly.

"Your Majesty, under your leadership, France will dominate Europe!"

All of a sudden, the French officials on the banks of the Seine shouted.

Everyone present thought that with such powerful weapons, the empire's navy and army would be number one in Europe.

Well, the French Army is actually number one in Europe.

Louis XIV maintained a standing army of more than 20 to 30 people all year round. During the 9-year war, the total strength of the French army even reached 44 people, which reached one-third of the total strength of the European army during the same period.

At the same time, Louis XIV was extremely excited.

He was different from other people's excitement, and he was a little more confident.

Louis XIV was a die-hard Catholic fanatic who believed in the favor of France.

At the same time, he also believes in his own ability, he thinks that he is the most intelligent and charming monarch in the world!
He pointed to the burning target ship in the distance with his slightly majestic voice, and then shouted.

"See, this is the new weapon of France. Now, let us use this latest weapon to fight against all the enemies of France, and let all the enemies tremble in front of the French army!"

"Long live!"

For a while, there were endless cheers on the banks of the Seine.

And amidst the cheers, in the port, a ship flying the red flying lion flag of the Republic of Venice sailed into the port.

Inside the Palace of Versailles.

Louis XIV, who had just had a good time, received bad news through the Venetian merchant ship.

The fleet of Ottoman devils is already cruising near Corsica!

Corsica is located in the south of France and west of the Italian peninsula.

France has always regarded Corsica as its sphere of influence.

"Your Majesty, please continue to send the powerful fleet of France to support the Venetian navy. Otherwise, once the Ottoman army goes to Rome, then the Pope is in danger. You probably don't want to see Rome and be given by the Ottomans." Take it..."

Before, because of the Ottoman rockets, France kept its navy away from the Mediterranean Sea. Seeing this, the Venetians had to continue to ask for help.

Yes, the situation is really serious now.

The military strength of the Ottoman state is in decline.

However, in Europe now, no one dared to deny one thing, the Ottoman army, after receiving the reinforcements from the Ming army, was definitely not inferior to France.

Before, such a military power could not threaten Rome-mainly because Ottoman's naval strength was too poor.

Therefore, at best, it is fighting on land, threatening Holy Rome, and fighting Austria.

But now it's different.

The current Ottoman country has all kinds of new weapons.

The galleys of the Mediterranean are no match at all!
The hegemony of the Mediterranean Sea, for the Ottoman country, can be said to be within easy reach.

In this situation.

The safety of Rome has become a huge problem.

"Damn Mingren, he's throwing a knife at the fire again!"
