Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Chapter 74 Really? What Mei Yin said is actually true? !

After hearing what Li Jinglong said, Mei Yin didn't know what to say for a moment.

This nephew is really good at making jokes.

But looking at himself, he understood the matter of adding egg whites to gunpowder, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

"How can that be possible? This is making gunpowder, not food.

This step is called gunpowder granulation. After adding these, the gunpowder is made into small particles one by one.

This will help the gunpowder to fully burn in a short period of time. "

As Mei Yin spoke, he started to put the eggs into the gunpowder and turned it into lumps, and then started to turn it into small particles.

Then put it in a ventilated and sunny place to dry, so that the moisture in the gunpowder can evaporate quickly.

This process was not fast, and it was not completed until the next day, when Mei Yi came to Shuangshui Village.

In the process, Mei Yin smashed the candy she bought into small particles.

Sugar in this era is basically large crystals.

It needs to be smashed by hand before it can be mixed into the gunpowder.

After doing this, Mei Yin mixed the sugar into the gunpowder according to a certain proportion.

In this way, he made the gunpowder with greatly increased power.

Li Jinglong, who was standing by, was even more stunned.

"Second uncle, you still said this is not making food?

If you add egg whites and sugar to it, what are you doing instead of cooking it? "

Mei Yin smiled when he heard this.

“You’ll find out later.

Uncle Er, I never lie to others.

Come on, let's go to Mingyue Gang and give him a hardcore to test our power! "

With that said, he excitedly took the prepared gunpowder, as well as the corresponding fuse and other things, and headed to Mingyue Gang.

"Second uncle, how about... wait until night, go after dark, there are many people now."

Li Jinglong looked at Mei Yin and said.

Mei Yin was stunned for a moment when he heard this. What does the eldest nephew mean by this?

Why wait until dark before going there when there are so many people right now?

He said that if he fucked it, it would be a serious blow. What was he thinking of?

“That… your explosiveness is too outrageous.

If it doesn't work when you get there, wouldn't it be embarrassing if so many people are watching?

It damages your image as Mr. Mei! "

Li Jinglong still thinks about Mei Yin, his second uncle.

Mei Yin laughed when he heard this: "Nephew, no problem.

I believe your second uncle, this thing of mine will definitely work! "

Li Jinglong also wanted to believe that the gunpowder produced by Mei Yin was very powerful.

But thinking about it carefully, after Mei Yindu added something to the gunpowder, his confidence could not be raised.

Mei Yin and Li Jinglong soon arrived at Mingyue Gang.

Think about how we saw villagers using gunpowder to explode rocks in later generations.

Mei Yin asked someone to take a large iron drill used to pry stones, and began to hammer it downwards on the stone slab.

Use this method to make a hole in the stone slab.

The hole is very deep, almost 1.5 meters.

After doing this, Mei Yin filled the gunpowder he had prepared along the hole.

And carefully compact it with a wooden stick.

After finishing, the lead wires were added, and the hole was sealed with mixed yellow mud of moderate hardness and softness.

Put a long enough fuse.

I thought for a moment about the powerful power of the stone explosion.

Then he had people finish twenty or thirty large bundles of branches used as firewood, and covered the hole for lighting the fire and the stone slabs in the nearby area.

They also put wooden poles on top and rocks to hold them down.

This is to effectively prevent rocks from flying all over the sky under the strong impact of the explosives when it explodes later.

But even after doing this, Mei Yin did not light up the fire immediately.

Instead, a sufficiently strong safe house was built at a suitable distance.

While doing this, Mei Yin also asked people to go around Mingyue Gang to remind people not to get close to it. And let everyone here in Mingyue Gang enter the safe house.

After doing this and confirming the safety, Mei Yin went to light the fire himself.

Li Jinglong took note of what Mei Yin had done.

In my heart, I was very dissatisfied and felt that my second uncle was making too much fuss.

As for the gunpowder he made, it's unclear whether it can explode or not.

Now there is such a big movement, which is really unnecessary.

While he was thinking this, Mei Yin had already lit the fuse and ran away.

I got into the safe house and waited for a while, but there was still no movement outside.

Mei Yin knew that this was because he kept the lead wire long enough for safety.

Li Jinglong didn't know.

He coughed and said to a few people in the safe house from Shuangshui Village who were working in the preliminary designed cement factory in Meiyin:

"Um...this gunpowder was newly invented by my second uncle, and it is currently in the trial stage.

Even if something unexpected happens, it's normal..."

He said this to ease Mei Yin's embarrassment.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, an earth-shattering sound was heard!

Li Jinglong felt the ground shaking and his ears buzzing.

So much so that the safe house has some dirt falling from above...

Li Jinglong and others couldn't help but turn a little pale, and they were somewhat panicked.

Mei Yin waited for a while in the safe house to confirm that the aftermath of the explosion had passed.

Even if the rocks were blown away, they should have landed long ago before getting out of the safe house first.

Li Jinglong, who looked a little dazed after tugging at it, said, "Let's go over and see how it works."

……

After a while, we came to the place where the explosion occurred.

I saw that some of the big bundles of firewood had been overturned.

Even though Mei Yin made these protections, some stones still broke through the obstruction of the bundle of firewood and flew outside.

The farthest one flew forty or fifty feet!

That stone weighs no less than a hundred kilograms!

After cleaning up all the covered bundles of firewood.

I saw that the place was in a mess, and there were many large and small gravels.

An irregular pit about two feet in diameter, filled with large and small stones, appeared in front of him.

There are also some cracks spreading around.

Seeing this scene, both Li Jinglong and the people from Shuangshui Village who followed were all shocked!

Such a shot is much faster than using people to mine stones!

Especially Li Jinglong, at this moment his head was buzzing and his eyes almost popped out of his head!

It turned out to be true!

Is this actually true? !

The second uncle did not lie to him!

After adding eggs and sugar to the gunpowder, the power of the gunpowder increased so much? !

Is this... the same gunpowder that I am familiar with?

The power is too outrageous!

At this moment, Li Jinglong's world view even collapsed.

After being extremely shocked, he turned to look at Mei Yin, full of shock and admiration!

It's like looking at a god!

The second uncle is really a god! !

Mei Yin was also cheerful.

I am quite satisfied with the effect of this shot.

With this enhanced version of gunpowder, the efficiency of making cement here will be greatly improved in the future!

It can also significantly reduce costs, which is really a good thing!

Li Jinglong thought more. If such gunpowder is not used to explode rocks, if it is used in firearms...

Then...will the power of firearms also become greater?

Li Jinglong couldn't help but get excited when he thought of this!

Perhaps... the second uncle can use this merit to offset his previous sins.

It is really possible to renew our relationship with my second cousin!

……

At noon, Mei Yin and Li Jinglong returned home.

At this time, the people from Lingxi Pavilion who came to get the soap also happened to arrive.

Not far behind them was Mei Yi, who was riding a horse and showing off his power all the way.

Seeing Mei Yin from a distance, the smile on Mei Yi's face became even stronger...
