my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 312 Zhao Ying: I’ll let them try it

Zhao Ying and others arrived too quickly.

It was completely beyond the expectations of Gong Xue and Lu Yi. As a result, Zhao Ying arrived with Shi Lu and Zhang Liang before they had time to carry out the greeting process.

"I have seen His Highness——"

Gong Xue and Lu Yi hurriedly came out of the yard and bowed to salute. They were still quite uneasy. They felt that they were not respectful enough and had neglected His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson. What if they made the Emperor's eldest grandson unhappy and took it away again? The job of being the manager of my own glaze workshop...

Who knows, Zhao Ying was not thinking about them at this time, nor was his eyes falling on them. He continued to stride in and asked aloud.

"Where are the two stewards Chen He and Bai Rong now?"

"We are still studying the explosive gunpowder that His Highness mentioned in Xikua Institute. They said that the ratio just now is not perfect enough. Although it is relatively stable, it is not as powerful as the last explosion..."

When Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and a satisfied smile appeared in his eyes.

I was right. I really picked up two talented people with great scientific research spirit!

Zhao Ying walked for a while, and when he looked back, he saw that Gong Xue and Lu Yi were still following him respectfully, pausing slightly and waving their hands casually.

"You go and do your own business, don't worry about us..."

Gong Xue and Lu Yi looked at each other and knew that the emperor's eldest grandson's thoughts were not on their side, so they could only retreat awkwardly.

For the two of them, they no longer have much desire to explore knowledge and continue to study in the past. Instead, they have gradually become accustomed to the job of being the steward of the glaze workshop.

You only need to follow the original formula every day, gradually adjust and improve it, and strive to launch a product that satisfies His Royal Highness, the Emperor Changsun. Then everything will be fine for the rest, and you can enjoy your wealth in peace.

This kind of life is countless times better than the miserable days of the past.

People's minds have changed, and they think about many things differently.

Of course, Zhao Ying was not interested in caring about the little thoughts of these people. When he fished these people out, he originally wanted to use their knowledge that was beyond this era but was messy and fragmented.

Some people say that these people are the chemists of this era. In fact, they are not that comprehensive. In fact, in a sense, they are more like the naturalists of this era, and they basically know a little bit about everything.

Because they need to refine elixirs, they have a wide range of interests.

Similarly, the ability to accept new things is also very fast. Zhao Ying has already asked people to select more than a dozen potential talents among them. One person sent them a set of biology textbooks and chemistry textbooks that he compiled based on his past life memories. textbook.

He prepared to be his first biology and chemistry teachers in this era. As for physics teachers, he selected a group of young Mohist apprentices.Of course, these people are still in the self-study stage for the time being and have not officially started classes.

According to Zhao Ying's plan, these subjects will not be introduced until at least the spring of next year, when the royal children have adapted to the new learning.

When Zhao Ying walked into Xikuoyuan, Chen He and Bai Rong were squatting on the ground without any protection, sticking out their buttocks and holding round jars, which made Zhao Ying's eyes jump.

What a fucking ruthless person.

The key is that not only the two of them, but also the others, were all standing in a circle looking at something rare, squatting there, looking at it, and pointing at it.

"cough--"

Zhao Ying stopped subconsciously and coughed heavily.

"Your Highness - I have met Your Highness..."

At this time, everyone in the yard noticed Zhao Ying's arrival and stood up to salute one after another. Chen He and Bai Rong each held a solidly filled ceramic jar with happy faces and hurried towards Zhao Ying. Came over.

Zhao Ying: ...

"Stop, stop, stop - you two, put down the guys in your hands first..."

Chen He and Bai Rong were a little confused, but after hearing this, they still bent over and put the jars on the ground with puzzled faces.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is this the gunpowder you developed?"

With a person like this who only focused on research, Zhao Ying didn't bother to say any polite words. He walked straight over, looked at the two jars on the ground and asked.Originally, the two of them were preparing to salute, but they were half-bent down. When Zhao Ying asked about this, they immediately became excited.

"Your Highness, we have lived up to our expectations. After repeated attempts during this period, we have found the thing that makes the alchemy furnace explode - the gunpowder you mentioned..."

Having said this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he pointed to the jar on the ground with some lack of confidence.

"The two jars on the ground contain the first batch of products we matched - but we haven't found the best ratio yet, and the explosion seems not as powerful as last time..."

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded when he heard this.

"It doesn't matter, it's already great if you can find it. The rest is just to slowly adjust and try..."

With this foundation and premise, the rest is easy to handle. I can naturally come up with new ratios to increase the power of these gunpowders.Not to mention its military significance, this thing is also an unparalleled weapon if it is used to break mountains and crack rocks, build bridges and pave roads, and carry out infrastructure construction.

After dispersing the bystanders and letting Chen He fetch some gunpowder alone, Zhao Ying squatted down and twisted it with his fingers.

Shi Lu and Zhang Liang also squatted down, stretched out their fingers, and slowly twisted them. Shi Lu, especially, even picked up a small handful and tasted it with his tongue curiously...

Good guy, fortunately this thing is not very toxic.

Otherwise, the person will have to be sent away this time.

Naturally, there is no clue about this difference, but it just feels different from what we will see in later generations.

He stood up calmly.

"You know how to use it..."

"Back to Your Highness, based on our previous experience in blasting furnaces, we will roll the gunpowder into relatively dense balls according to the shape of the elixir we are making. After carefully sealing the outside with beeswax and other substances, and throwing it into the fire, a violent explosion will occur. …”

Zhao Ying: ...

No wonder these dogs dared to stuff gunpowder into the jar and didn't take it seriously.

"According to my speculation, after this thing is sealed, it will explode easily even if it is not put in the fire. What you just did was very dangerous. If one of them is not good, you have to explain everything here. Don't be so rash in the future." , you are the top talents of our Great Qin, and without anyone else, it will be a loss for our Great Qin..."

Zhao Ying is not going to hide these people. These are all the research talents he has managed to gather with great difficulty, and he cannot let them all be ruined just because of this.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness - Your Highness treats us as a noble man, how dare we not repay him with death!"

Chen He and Bai Rong looked moved and saluted solemnly.

Zhao Ying did not expect such a big reaction from the two people, so he smiled and waved his hands.

"No matter whether you die or not, living well is the most important thing..."

Zhao Ying came here today to see the power of the Da Qin soil gunpowder. He immediately directed Chen He and Bai Rong to twist out a lead on the spot and stuff it into the well-sealed gunpowder jar.

"Come, let's try the power of this thing..."

Zhao Ying looked around but couldn't find a suitable target, so he simply walked to the base of the wall, kicked a hole in the wall, stuffed the gunpowder jar inside, and ordered Zhang Liang and Chen He to clean up everyone on the left and right. After being clean, he personally held the torch and lit the fuse.

呲——

The lead wire made a hissing sound. When Zhao Ying turned around, he found that the good guys, Shi Lu, Zhang Liang, Bai Rong and Chen He, were all squatting there looking at it as if they were looking at a zoetrope, and he roared hastily. "Run quickly——"

After saying that, he grabbed Bai Rong and Zhang Liang beside him and ran away.

Bai Rong and Chen He were inexperienced after all. The gunpowder rubbed into the fuse was probably too much, and the fuse burned rapidly. As Chen He and Shi Lu were watching, they suddenly heard Zhao Ying's roar.

Chen He had been bombed several times and had some experience. When he saw this, he ran away in a hurry.

Shi Lu's reaction was just a little slower.

By the time I realized I should run away, it was already too late——

As soon as he turned around and ran away for a few steps, a strong explosion sounded behind him.

"boom--"

The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking.

As if his body was pushed by something, Shi Lu fell directly to the ground.

Dust flew and the walls crumbled.

Fortunately, this kind of earthen gunpowder sounds scary, but in fact it is far less powerful than imagined. Shi Lu was only covered in ash from the blast, and there were a few minor wounds scratched out by the collapsed bricks behind him, but there were no other injuries. It's nothing serious, I'm just scared.

He stood there with a pale face. After staying there for a long time, his head felt like it was buzzing.

"This thing actually has the power of thunder!"

Shi Lu raised his sleeves, wiped the ashes from his face, and looked at the collapsed wall in shock.This kind of power, looking at his eyes, already seemed very incredible.

Just now, there was almost thunder on the ground.

What's more, the courtyard wall was blown down, and with a bang, people from the Liuli Workshop gathered around.

When Zhao Ying saw this, he couldn't help but frown slightly and looked at Gong Xue and Lu Yi who were running towards him with a worried expression.

Gong Xue and Lu Yi immediately understood.

"Go, go, go, it's all gone, it's all gone -"

Before anyone could get close, they were dispersed by the two chief stewards.Then, the two people bowed their hands to Zhao Ying with a flattering look on their faces, and then bowed their hands to Shi Lu, Zhang Liang and others, with a fawning smile on their faces.

Fortunately, Zhao Ying did not drive the two of them away immediately this time.

Instead, he came over and paid attention to Shi Lu's condition. Seeing that he was indeed fine, he then looked at Chen He and Bai Rong who were standing aside.

"Yes, after I go back alone, I will definitely ask His Majesty for your merits..."

……

Just when Zhao Ying, Shi Lu and others were testing the power of gunpowder in the yard, the carriages of the First Emperor and Hei also arrived. As a result, before they could enter the gate, there was a deafening explosion. Looking at it, I could only see smoke and dust everywhere inside the workshop.Then, chaos ensued.

The war horse trembled and almost ran away on the spot. Fortunately, the First Emperor and Hei, although they were older, were both good horsemen. They reacted quickly enough to rein in the reins and control the horse.

"What is this..."

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the First Emperor.

The loud noise just now was like thunder on dry land, and it was incredible.

When he thought that his eldest grandson was still inside, the First Emperor immediately rushed in. If it were normal times, someone would have come to intercept and interrogate him. But there was an incident in the backyard just now. Everyone ran to the backyard, and they actually let their monarch and his ministers go directly. Breaking in.

"Ying'er, what happened just now, are you okay-"

Seeing Zhao Ying standing there, not far away, the courtyard wall collapsed, and the Emperor's heart felt as if someone had grasped it, and his heart suddenly lifted.

"Father, Mr. Hei, why are you here..."

Hearing the voice of the First Emperor, Zhao Ying turned around and looked with some surprise. Of course, Shaofu Shilu, who was still in shock and had not yet woken up from the shock, finally recovered.

"Chen Shilu, I have met your Majesty..."

Looking at Shi Lu, who had disheveled hair and was in a state of embarrassment, with even a trace of unwiped black ash hanging on his face, the First Emperor couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and almost laughed.

"Excuse me, Shi Aiqing, tell me what happened just now. How did you get into such a mess..."

Shi Lu couldn't help but blush.

Explained somewhat awkwardly.

"Just now, Your Highness was testing the power of gunpowder. The minister didn't understand enough and couldn't avoid it. He almost embarrassed himself in public. Please punish him..."

"gunpowder?"

Upon hearing this, the First Emperor turned his head in disbelief to look at the wall that had just collapsed, and then turned his head again to look at Shi Lu, who was in a state of embarrassment, and his eldest grandson who was in the presence of the old god.

"Are you telling me that some kind of gunpowder caused this wall to collapse?"

"Yes, it's true—His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun secretly developed a thing called gunpowder. This thing can summon divine thunder out of thin air. It can destroy cities and strongholds and frighten Xiao Xiao..."

When the First Emperor heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Being able to summon divine thunder out of thin air..."

He turned his head and looked at Zhao Ying aside in disbelief.

Zhao Ying: ...

Shi Lu looked to the side with a speechless expression, "Brother Lu, you are talking such nonsense, brother, it will be difficult for me to help you reconcile."

"Ahem, Mr. Shi just misunderstood. How can anyone in this world be able to summon divine thunder out of thin air? Most of them are just exaggerations. Mr. Shi was just describing the power of gunpowder..."

At this time, Hei had personally walked to the wall that had just collapsed, squatted on the ground, and carefully examined the traces.

"Judging from the traces, this wall was destroyed directly from the bottom with an extremely terrifying force in an instant..."

Speaking of this, Hei's face couldn't help but reveal a look of disbelief.

"Your Highness, could this be the power of gunpowder you just mentioned?"

Zhao Ying smiled and nodded.

"Some time ago, I accidentally heard that these warlocks in my house blew up the furnace while secretly refining elixirs. It was so powerful that the house was damaged. The two warlocks who secretly refined the elixirs also almost died. Lost his life..."

Having said that, Zhao Ying smiled.

"I just thought that if I could let them extract something that could blow up the alchemy furnace and use it alone, it might have an unexpected effect, so I let them try it. Unexpectedly, it turned out that It really became…”
