Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

"Miss Yao, please don't blame yourself." Li Changji stepped forward and comforted her: "Such explosive accidents are inevitable no matter how careful we are. The important thing is that we must learn lessons from it, make up our minds to study it seriously, understand the characteristics of this new type of fuel thoroughly, and fundamentally avoid the tragedy from happening again!" Chu Ze on the side also nodded in agreement. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Li Changji is right. Let this accident serve as a long-term warning for us. Only by taking into account the physical and chemical properties of the fuel, especially the unstable factors, can we truly give full play to its maximum potential and minimize the harm."

"What? Your Highness, what do you mean?" Lu Yao looked at Chu Ze in confusion, fearing that she had misunderstood.

"That's right. I have decided that from now on, the Firearms Museum will make physical and chemical exploration the new focus of its courses. You don't need to risk your precious lives anymore. I have invited domestic physicochemists who are proficient in this field to share their true and unique skills!"

"Wow!" Everyone was excited after hearing this, except Li Changji who looked a little suspicious.

"Your Highness, that's a good point. However, such an authoritative person must be well-educated. I'm afraid it's difficult to digest their knowledge with just the superficial knowledge of firearms, right?"

"Don't worry." Chu Ze said confidently: "I will let these authoritative scholars guide us step by step and explain the knowledge in a simple and easy-to-understand way. As long as we are open-minded and ask for advice, we will be able to absorb useful nutrients and turn decay into magic!"

Li Changji and Lu Yao both smiled in relief after hearing this. It turned out that Chu Ze had already planned it, so they didn't need to worry anymore.

Soon, the country's top chemical theorists arrived as scheduled and took a rest in the evening in the Firearms Museum. The scientists were all well-dressed and elegant, forming a sharp contrast with the slightly rough firearms students. However, since they were all determined to serve the country, such a difference was not surprising.

“Tsk tsk, look at them. These are all the most important treasures of the country!” Lu Yao said with a smile to the disciples who were peeking and looking at her curiously, “Remember not to lose your manners!”

"Don't worry, I have taught them everything." Li Changji also hurried to comfort everyone, fearing that he would lose face for the Firearms Museum.

Sure enough, the students of the Firearms Battalion, led by their teachers, stood in the center of the venue. Seeing those dusty and authoritative scholars coming, everyone's eyes were sparkling, but no one dared to disturb them.

"Dear gentlemen, I have prepared some light wine and food as a token of my humble appreciation for your visit." Li Changji stepped forward and bowed, respectfully welcoming the dignified, white-haired dean.

"That's enough, there's no need to be polite when bringing up old matters again." The old gentleman waved his hand amiably and said with a smile, "I think everyone here must have a special interest in the art of firearms. If I have disturbed your studies, I would be unworthy of it!"

"How dare I? The purpose of all knowledge in the world is to be the teacher of Emperor Bingzhu!" Li Changji hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you for your presence today, teacher. I should humbly learn from you."

As they were talking, the group had already sat down in a small pavilion surrounded by trees. On the flat ground were several tables of steaming food and wine. Although not rich, they exuded the exquisiteness of a foreign land.

Just as the two sides were engaged in a polite greeting, a dusty soldier from the survey camp hurried over. He didn't care about anything else and bowed to Li Changji and the academicians and reported:
"Old Sir! You scared the Master!"

"What's going on?" Li Changji asked calmly, not surprised.

"Reporting, gentlemen!" The sergeant gasped with difficulty, trying his best to suppress the shock in his heart: "Just now, there was an explosion in the explosives depot in the northwest corner! A shocking sound was heard!"

"What!" Li Changji could not help but get angry and slammed the table. The old academicians with long beards were also shocked by this shocking news. "I told you that you are too reckless in inventing firearms!" The leading academician said worriedly, "Are you repeating the same mistake and killing innocent lives before you can start?"

"This!" Li Changji couldn't help but laugh when asked this question.

Fortunately, Chu Ze came over at this time. He saw the situation and saw the clues. He immediately said to the old academician:

"To be honest, we did encounter some accidents recently when developing new fuels. But don't worry, this is because we are more familiar with firearms."

As he spoke, Chu Ze pointed to the students from the Firearms Battalion who were already swarming around him, and said earnestly:
"In contrast, these young people have a different attitude towards learning about firearms. They want to experience the mysteries of firearms firsthand, which is why such accidents happen."

"Oh? Is that so?" The academician's frown gradually relaxed after hearing this. "It seems that we old scholars have made a big fuss out of nothing. But this is indeed beyond our expectations, and it does give the young disciples a lot of face!"

Hearing Chu Ze's support, the students of the Firearms Battalion felt proud. Even the sergeant who had just rushed over to report was stunned to see the old academicians' praise.

But at this moment, a dark figure suddenly broke into the quiet woods amidst all the discussion. It was a gunner, with sparks burning all over his body, rushing in in a panic and shouting:
"Oh no! The explosives depot in the northwest corner has completely exploded!"

"What? It exploded completely?" Chu Ze was shocked and immediately rushed forward to question the gunner: "What exactly happened? Are there any casualties?"

"It's so tragic!" The gunner just took a breath and wailed in pain: "Not only is the explosion powerful, but the heat wave hits us in the face... Many of my colleagues died on the spot."

Before he could finish his words, the gunner coughed violently again, and a strong burning smell came to his nose, which was nauseating.

Chu Ze quickly called a few students to help the unrecognizable and wounded gunner. At the same time, he signaled Lu Yao to immediately organize a rescue operation and investigate the casualties.

Looking around, the students from the Firearms Camp who were watching from all sides all had expressions of horror on their faces.

"Is this the new fuel we've been pursuing on a whim? It's so ferocious that it can explode with earth-shattering lethality without any warning!"

"Oh my god, how terrible it would be if there were classmates doing experiments nearby? Maybe not even a trace would be left!"

"It seems that the importance of learning theoretical foundations has become increasingly prominent. We must fundamentally grasp the nature of new fuels. This is the only way out!" (End of this chapter)
