Chapter 354 Incendiary Bombs

Old Yu became very interested in sheepskin sacs. In fact, the main function of sheepskin sacs in the past was to tie rafts.In the upper reaches of the Yellow River, sheepskin rafts are a common means of crossing the river.I don't know how Wu Yuanshuang came up with the idea of ​​using this thing to hold gasoline.

The sheepskin bag was tied tightly, no matter how much it dangled in the carriage, there would be no problem.When Yunhao saw Old Yu, the old guy was instructing people to load the sheepskin bag onto the trebuchet.

"You came at the right time, this thing is really good. Thanks to your cleverness, why didn't you think of such a good idea. I just used a trebuchet to test it with water. Twenty or thirty kilograms of things affect the range. This kind of range , it is easy to be destroyed by the eight-ox crossbow on the city wall. Taking advantage of the height, the eight-ox crossbow on the city wall is always farther than the shooting range on the ground." Just as Yu Lao finished speaking, the trebuchet behind him "creaked" One sound.A sheep-shaped ball was thrown out.

After flying about two or three hundred steps, it fell to the ground.The force of gravity caused the sheepskin to rupture, and the water inside dripped all over the floor.

Yun Hao stroked his forehead, and just said that he was not smart.The sheepskin is too big, why not change it to a smaller one?Rabbit skin is good, and it should be no problem to pack three to five catties.The gravity lever trebuchet can send this kind of thing a thousand steps, not to mention the eight ox crossbow, even the eight one bar can't reach it.

"Old Yu, what do you think about replacing sheepskin pouches with rabbit skins? The cost is cheap, and rabbits reproduce quickly. A pair of rabbits can produce a litter in three to two months." Yun Hao smiled and cupped his hands, hoping to get the old man Guy's compliments.

Unexpectedly, the old guy slapped Yun Hao on the back of his head. "If you have such a good idea, why didn't you tell the old man earlier. It will make the old man busy for nothing!"

"The kid just arrived!"

"Then beat you too, can't you?"

Unable to offend the old man who became angry from embarrassment, Yun Hao decided to talk to the old and young Yu in the future.The Tang Dynasty established the country with filial piety, and this kind of elderly guy walked sideways in Li Yuan's Golden Palace.In the academy, Yu Lao was like a crab.Poor Wen Daya, I can't wait to make a shrine for this old gentleman.

"Hey...! The old man is anxious! The battle report came from the front line of Luoyang. The city cannot be attacked for a long time and can only be besieged." Seeing the grievance on Yunhao's face, Old Yu sighed helplessly.

"Didn't Mo Sect advocate both love and non-attack? Why are you suddenly interested in fighting in battle formations?" Yun Hao looked at Lao Yu suspiciously. This kind of thing should not be the old guy's excitement.

"What do you know? Of course, people will die if they conquer in a single battle, but the number of people who will die is limited after all. The military laws of the Tang Dynasty are strict, and there will never be massacres in the Central Plains.

But the siege is different. The first to reduce the rationing is the ordinary people.Those in power will always try to keep the army fed and clothed when there is no food to eat.People become food!In the history of the siege, there have been many tragedies of cannibalism.

Do you think the old man likes to study this murderous weapon?But if you don't kill people, you can't save people.Only by quickly capturing Luoyang can Zhu Mi's tragedy be prevented from happening again. "

Yun Hao solemnly bowed to the old guy, although the theory that killing people can save people seems unreasonable.But it is something that really exists.In my previous life, I watched a ridiculous movie "Hero", and the truth in it was the same as that of Yu Lao.

In war-torn times, only great unification can reduce killings.I thought the old guy wanted to be loyal to the Li family dynasty, but I didn't expect that the old guy is the real fraternity.Only when the Li family's Tang Dynasty ruled the world, the killings in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty would stop.No wonder, the old guy worked so hard in researching murder weapons.

"The sulfur purification you mentioned is still a big problem. The production efficiency is too slow. According to this efficiency, it can't produce a few hundred catties a year. This is already the result of 200 people working in shifts!" Yu Lao was very helpless. , Purifying sulfur has surpassed his knowledge.To be able to produce hundreds of catties is definitely the result of working tirelessly.

"Don't worry, gunpowder is a new thing. If you want to get good gunpowder, you have to start with stupid methods. Then gradually simplify it step by step. Everything has a process of accumulation. I believe that if you continue to study at the current speed, It’s amazing that we will be able to find a suitable method to purify sulfur in three to five years.”

When the computer first came out, it was the size of a three-bedroom house and weighed [-] tons.But your calculation ability is only [-] times per second, decades later.Smartphones can be carried in pockets, and a kindergarten doll will have no problem holding them to play.The computing speed is tens of millions of times faster than before.Reading the novels "Lazy Tang", "Using the Qin Dynasty" and "Han Xiong" with my hands is not tiring at all.

Unable to tell Mr. Yu about the evolution of computers, Yun Hao could only briefly talk about it.I hope that the old guy can draw inferences from one instance, and the attitude that researchers should have is the accumulation of accumulation.

Old Yu nodded approvingly, it was indeed so.When many things are made, they are extremely complicated.The last little bit of simplification finally becomes easier and more efficient.

"In fact, there is such a thing as kerosene, which can already cause an imbalance in the battlefield. We used to be foolish, although Wu Yuanshuang is a bad guy, but his head is still very smart. If the incendiary bomb made by a rabbit is too small. We can use pig urine, sheep urine and other things. In short, the actual combat of kerosene has taken a big step. I believe that this thing will appear in the battlefield, whether it is infantry or cavalry, it will appear in their worst nightmare .”

The reasoning makes sense, and the two guys, one old and one young, will no longer be entangled.Old General Yu studied Yun Hao's idea with some Mohist disciples and found it very feasible.A few guys quickly searched for urine bubbles to do experiments!

That thing can't be eaten, so it should be easy to make.Regardless of the cost, there is nothing wrong with elephant urine bubbles.

After a day and a night of experiments, Yun Hao and Yu Lao agreed that soaking in sheep urine is very good.The main reason is that the urine bubbles of sheep are more elastic, which may be related to the habits of sheep.Pigs usually urinate immediately when they urinate, while sheep usually don't urinate while sleeping.

The trebuchet easily sent about ten catties of water-filled sheep urine bubbles to [-] steps away, and then filled it with gasoline and threw it out with a fuse.The shooting range actually exceeds that just now, Yunhao thinks this is the result of gasoline being lighter than water.The leather bag bounced a few times on the ground, and then an orange fireball rose into the air.Wherever countless flames splashed, they burned.This is the result of adding icing sugar, Yun Hao and Yu Lao are very satisfied with the experimental results.

Large-scale production of incendiary bombs was immediately put on the agenda by Wen Daya.For this reason, Li Yuan equipped the academy with hundreds of death row prisoners.Li Yuan was determined not to repeat the last leak.
