The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 219 Test Gunpowder and Look to the Future

After the deal was concluded, Lin Yifan ordered someone to carry the 1 taels of silver into the lobby. Ten wooden boxes containing silver were placed on the ground, and when they were opened one by one, dazzling silver lights refracted out, dazzling people's eyes.

Jia Shidao threw himself into the wooden box, stretched out his trembling hands, and gently stroked the cute and charming silver coins, his face fascinated.

"Ahem, Taoist priest, have you seen enough?" Lin Yifan walked over, without looking at the silver in the box, and looked directly at him, "Here is the 1 taels of silver, and the Taoist priest can take it away at any time, so, this Should you give me the formula for gunpowder?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes." Jia Shidao woke up from the pile of money, reached out and took out a thin booklet from his pocket, and handed it to Lin Yifan respectfully, "My lord, this is The villain has refined the so-called gunpowder formula and experience for more than ten years. There are more than a dozen different formulas recorded in detail, and the effects they produce are not the same. The villain does not want this 1 taels of silver for nothing. Among them In addition to palm thunder, there are also methods of making Thunderbolt, Piercing Cloud Rocket, Thunderbolt Bead, Flame Light Flowing Fire, etc."

"What, there are other recipes?" Lin Yifan took the booklet and quickly opened it to browse.As Jia Shidao said, this booklet not only records the production process of gunpowder in detail, but also lists more than a dozen kinds of gunpowder prepared in different proportions, and their different effects.This is simply a precious book, I didn't expect it to be in my hands so easily.

After reading it, Lin Yifan carefully put the book in his arms, looked at Jia Shidao, his eyes became even hotter, although the gunpowder formula is rare, but the person who invented gunpowder is even more rare, it can be said to be a priceless treasure.In any case, Hengshan must keep him.

"My lord, the villain has given the formula to the lord now, so, then the 1 taels belong to the villain." Jia Shidao looked at Lin Yifan with a fierce look at him, thinking that he would not keep his eyes. Credit, having swallowed the 1 taels alone, couldn't help being terrified, protecting the money, and said boldly.

"Haha, Taoist priest, don't worry, the 1 taels are already yours, and no one can take them away." Lin Yifan was in a good mood, "I will send someone to carry the silver to the government office room, and the Taoist priest will stay here for now." Let's stay here for a few days."

"This, isn't it good?" Jia Shidao turned pale and forced a smile, "The villain has a place to live in the city, so I won't bother you, my lord. I will send someone to give you the 1 taels of silver." Just come to my place."

"Hehe, the Taoist priest should understand what I mean, right?" Lin Yifan smiled slightly, "This gunpowder matter is of great importance. There is no one else in the world except you. If I let you go, then wouldn't this gunpowder be yours?" Want to spread it to the whole world? Then if I exchange this 1 taels of silver, wouldn’t it be a big loss?”

"No, no, my lord, the villain will never let it out. I swear to God, if I let out the matter of gunpowder, there will be a thunderbolt, and I will die." Jia Shidao thought that Lin Yifan was going to kill someone to silence him, but he panicked. Yes, immediately fell to his knees and said tremblingly.

"The Taoist priest misunderstood. I didn't intend to kill anyone. On the contrary, I value you very much. I am going to invite the Taoist priest to join me in Hengshan and make gunpowder for me." Lin Yifan stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile , "Tao is better than the way of gunpowder, and no one in the world can compare. I, Hengshan, are thirsty for talents. I don't know if the leader is willing to join me in Hengshan?"

"This, this?" Jia Shidao naturally refused, but now his own life is in the hands of the other party, if he doesn't agree, he may anger the other party, and his life is hard to save.Now that things have come to an end, we can only compromise for the time being, save our lives first, and then say, "The villain is willing, willing."

"Okay, Taoist priest really knows the current affairs, I appreciate you very much." Lin Yifan smiled happily.

Jia Shidao quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking in his heart that he was very dangerous, glanced at the silver on the ground, and hurriedly bowed his waist and said with a flattering smile: "My subordinate pays homage to my lord, this, my lord, that 1 taels..."

"Of course it's still yours. The Daoist deserves it." Naturally, Lin Yifan didn't care about the 1 taels of silver. In his opinion, the gunpowder formula was worth even 10 taels.Since the other party is so greedy for money, it is just right to use property to win over and buy it.

"Ah, thank you, sir, thank you, sir." Jia Shidao was overjoyed, and the worries in his heart had eased a lot, thinking in his heart, it's not bad to follow such a bold and generous lord.

Lin Yifan couldn't help being overjoyed to get Jia Shidao's support, and immediately ordered someone to arrange a fancy wing for him to live in.At the same time, he was appointed on the spot as the director of the gunpowder shop of the Qiaogong Bureau, and promised to build a Chaotian temple in Hengshan for him, and appointed him as the master of the temple.

With Lin Yifan's promise, Jia Shidao accepted Lin Yifan's arrangement with peace of mind and prepared to work in Hengshan with peace of mind.

When it was arranged for Jia Shidao to go down to rest, Lin Yifan took out the booklet and began to study it carefully.He wanted to know to what extent the gunpowder produced by Jia Shidao had reached.

After reading it, Lin Yifan realized that the gunpowder technology developed by Jia Shidao was already very mature. From the effect he described, it had almost reached the effect that modern black powder can achieve. So should the development of artillery be mentioned? schedule?However, the records in the brochure belong to the records, whether it really achieves the effect mentioned above still needs to be verified through experiments.

Therefore, Lin Yifan immediately ordered people to collect the three formulas of nitrous carbon and sulfur from the city.The next day, Jia Shidao was invited to make all the things in the booklet on the spot.

After two days of busy work, Jia Shidao finally made the various gunpowder devices listed in the pamphlet, and respectfully asked Lin Yifan to inspect them.

Lin Yifan carefully looked at the various explosives in front of him, and he was so excited that he ordered him to test it immediately, wanting to see the power of these explosives.

Jia Shidao immediately picked up the palm thunder in the first row, and held it carefully in his hand.This so-called palm mine is only the size of a pigeon egg, wrapped in layers of paper, and has a round shape, with a finger-long matchstick exposed in it. When he lit the matchstick and threw it out, he heard a "bang". With a bang, thick smoke billowed.And the target set up not far away is just covered with a layer of black marks, nothing happened.

After Lin Yifan looked at it, he frowned slightly. The power was too small. Apart from being scary, it didn't seem to have any lethal power?Carefully picked up a palm mine, weighed its weight, and couldn't help curling his lips, "Daoist, the weight of this palm mine is too small, I hope you can increase the weight by at least five times. A palm mine is about the same as a fist." It can be big or small, the filling inside should be tighter, and the matchlock should be long enough for the throwing time; at the same time, you can add some hard objects such as iron flakes and stone particles in the gunpowder, so as to increase the power of the explosion. , The paper used for the shell of the Palm Thunder is too soft, we can use other hard things instead."

"My lord, other things are easy to talk about, but if the shell is wrapped with something too hard, the gunpowder will not be able to explode the shell at all, so the effect of explosion will not be formed." Jia Shidao is an expert in this field, and for a layman like Lin Yifan The behavior of the command maven is very unpleasant.But he didn't dare to get mad at him, so he had to say it tactfully.

"This is not a problem, you can carve some patterns on the shell to make it different in thickness, so that the strong pressure generated by the gunpowder can break the shell." After a little thought, Lin Yifan quickly found a way, "And, The harder the shell, the greater the explosive power of the gunpowder. I hope you can make a hand grenade that is portable, easy to throw, powerful, and has high lethality. Daoist, I will leave this to you up."

"Your subordinate obeys orders." Jia Shidao was secretly surprised at Lin Yifan's knowledge of explosives making, and was puzzled in his heart. Since he is so proficient in gunpowder, why did he pay 1 taels of silver for his own gunpowder formula?
Next, Jia Shidao tested the other explosives one by one.Lin Yifan looked down and found that, except for Thunderbolt and Cloud Piercing Rocket, which had some power, the other explosives were just powerful, but not very powerful.In his opinion, the Thunderbolt can be used as a mine, and the Cloud Piercing Arrow can be used to make a swarm of bees.And the so-called thunderbolt beads, fireworks and other things can only be temporarily used as ornamental fireworks and firecrackers.

However, Lin Yifan was not depressed about this, because Jia Shidao was in this world and had the limitations of this world, but as a modern person, his use of gunpowder was unique in this world.The rapid realization of firearms in this world is not a distant dream.Since God sent me to this world, then this world should deviate from the original historical track and honestly transform it according to my own ideas. Otherwise, what's the point of traveling by myself?
