Chapter 907: Civil strife in Panda, Utova dies suddenly
The purpose of making weapons is to kill people, so Lin Yun naturally has to pursue the limit as much as possible and put pressure on his subordinates.

Otherwise, if Zhao Ji and Yang Tiexin were allowed to think that their thunder bomb artillery was invincible, it would only stifle their future creativity.

This is not what Lin Yun wants to see.

Zhao Ji clasped his fists and said, "If that's the case, then we have to increase the power of the shells! I don't know much about this area!"

Even though Yang Tiexin had told him a lot before, it would not work without practice.

Lin Yun smiled and said, "I heard that your Fufeng County is rich in white sugar. 70% of the white sugar circulated in our Great Duan Dynasty comes from Fufeng County, right?"

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "That's right! Your Majesty, why did you suddenly mention sugar? Can sugar be used to make weapons?"

Lin Yun had an unfathomable look on his face and turned to look at the sky outside the palace gate.

This is natural. For now, the level of military industry has reached the limit of what he can do.

It is almost unrealistic to reach the technological level of the Earth, and Lin Yun does not have that ability.

But he remembered clearly the catchy saying "One sulfur, two nitrate, three charcoal, add a little sugar and big Ivan."

Obviously, adding an appropriate amount of white sugar to the black powder process can help combustion and increase the power of black powder.

It is the most suitable material for making special artillery shells for the Thunder Bomb artillery.

"When we return to Fufeng County tomorrow, you should bring some more sugar back to the capital to find Yang Tiexin and tell him that when making shells for the Thunder Cannon in the future, he must add a little sugar to the black powder. Let him experiment with the specific ratio himself!"

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty is really amazing! I didn't expect that humble white sugar could be used as military supplies!"

Lin Yun rolled his eyes: "Sugar is originally one of the military supplies. It can be used to manufacture weapons. During wartime, it can also be given to soldiers to increase their physical strength!"

What he wants to develop most now is a new generation of smokeless gunpowder, that is, nitrocellulose.

This thing is much more powerful than black powder.

However, sulfuric acid is needed to make nitrocellulose. Lin Yun still doesn't know where to find pyrite. If he can find it, he can extract sulfuric acid from it, or find alum, which is also natural sulfuric acid.

Nitrocellulose can be made by using sulfuric acid, nitric acid, cotton and baking soda.

However, Lin Yun has secretly arranged for Yang Lin to count the mineral resources and crops in counties across the country.

Once he has gathered all the raw materials, he will definitely take action.

At night, Lin Yun was preparing to go to bed with Una when Qi Rui's voice suddenly came from outside the palace door.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask you!"

Through the door, Lin Yun frowned and said, "If it's important, you can say it now! Otherwise, it won't be too late to say it tomorrow!"

He was also planning to study the project of creating humans with Una. Although he hadn't started yet, he was already preparing for it. He was annoyed by being suddenly interrupted.

Qi Rui smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, my father has returned from the capital! He said he must see you no matter what!"

Lin Yun said angrily: "I know his little tricks very well! Tell him to wait in the study next door tomorrow!"

Just when he thought Qi Rui had left, the voice rang out again.

"Your Majesty, my father not only wants to apologize to you, but also wants to report an important matter! It concerns the urgent matter of Concubine Wu!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Yun and Una, who was already lying on the bed, suddenly lost interest.

"My husband, just go! I also want to know what it is, and it has something to do with me!"

Lin Yun sighed and could only reluctantly put on his clothes, put on a coat and walked out of the bedroom. In the darkness, Qi Rui knelt on one knee on the ground, as if he was sure that Lin Yun would come out.

"I am guilty of disturbing your majesty's rest so late at night!"

Lin Yun jumped past him and headed straight for the study.

"Let's go!"

Soon, the two came to the study. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Qi Changyun kneeling on the ground, having been waiting for a long time.

When he saw Lin Yun, he kowtowed three times.

"Your Majesty! I am guilty of a thousand crimes. Please order me to have my head chopped off, but please forgive the Qi family!"

By now, Qi Changyun had realized that something was wrong.

Lin Yun personally led the army to such a large-scale operation this time, but he did not bring himself, the Nine Gates Admiral, along. This already explains a lot of problems.

Lin Yun ignored him and sat down on the chair in front of the desk. He put on his coat and said in a deep voice, "Tell me! What's the urgent matter? Is it related to my Concubine Wu?"

Qi Changyun clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the day after you left the capital, the King Yunshan of the Panda Royal Court sent an envoy to the capital to ask for your help..."

Lin Yun was shocked and immediately thought of Una’s elder brother Wu Meng.

"Tell me! What's going on?"

Qi Changyun continued, "The Khan of the Panda Royal Court, Utova, died suddenly, and his two sons fought for the throne! Now the King of Yunshan is at a disadvantage and has been forced to retreat to the White Wolf Mountain. I guess he can't hold on any longer!"

Lin Yun's face turned pale, he knew this would be the result, as long as Utova was alive, everything would be easy.

Once his cheap father-in-law dies, there will inevitably be internal strife in the Panda royal court.

But Lin Yun would never let Wu Meng become the next Khan of the Panda royal court. This guy was an ambitious man and he was quite incompatible with him.

If he were to take power, Fengyang County and Chujiang County would definitely be threatened.

But now Lin Yun has really put all his energy into Hanzhong County in the northeast. Once the Panda royal court causes trouble, his attention will inevitably be distracted.

We also have to send troops to guard against it, so rather than leaving huge hidden dangers for the future, we have to help King Wuli of Yunshan obtain the Khanship, no matter how great the cost.

At this moment, the tightly closed study door was suddenly broken open. Una had been eavesdropping and learned that her father was dead and her two brothers were still fighting for the throne. She could no longer hold back.

"Please give an order, my lord. I will return to the Panda royal court immediately!"

Lin Yun understood the girl's current mood and sighed, "Oona, are you sure you can calm the situation when you go back? Your two brothers are both angry, it must be a life-and-death situation!"

Wu Na nodded and said, "I know! That's why we have to hurry back! Otherwise, my second brother will definitely not be a match for Wu Meng!"

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "Qi Rui!"

"I am..."

"Send an order, 800 miles away, to Laocheng, Chujiang County, and have General Shi Bao lead 30,000 elite soldiers from the Shenji Camp from Chujiang County across the border to the White Wolf Mountain of the Panda Royal Court to support King Yunshan! In addition, inform Shi Bao separately that if King Yunshan dies, let him come to see me with his head!"

"According to the order!"

Afterwards, Qi Rui turned and left.

Lin Yun looked at Wu Na again and continued, "Don't worry, Concubine Wu! Your second brother can send people to ask for help, which proves that he can still hold on! What's more, the terrain of Bailang Mountain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is impossible for Wu Meng to succeed in a short time!"
