Iron Dynasty

"His Royal Highness, will this gunpowder really explode?"

In the gloomy night, there was only some light in the side hall of the palace, and Luluo had little courage, and she looked like she was about to cry at this time.

Aster stared at Lu Tong, and said, "Thank you, your Royal Highness appointed you to study chemistry. Go, go, go, let me come."

After all, Aster could not help saying that he took Lutong's job and carefully crushed saltpeter.

Lu Tong looked embarrassed, how could he be a man lose to a weak woman, he calmed down, he didn't speak, and again took a rolling pin to grind.

This time Xiao Ming called Lu Tong over to teach by himself. Although this gunpowder is not a secret in Dayu, it is not something anyone can master.

The ratio of monosulfur, dinitrogen and three charcoal he used this time is the best ratio of black powder.

During this period of time, Xiao Ming inquired about the proportions of a lot of the black powder of the Great Yu Country, and came to the conclusions weird. There are all kinds of proportions, it's a mess.

The power of the gunpowder formulated according to these ratios can be imagined.

Therefore, starting from the production of gunpowder this time, his gunpowder ratio is dominant.

Naturally, Lu Tong didn't know the matching ratio. He didn't understand until after this teaching, and he was also responsible for the production of gunpowder.

After all, the production of artillery is one thing. There are actually many artillery equipment. Gunpowder, artillery shells, and artillery bases are all things in the future.

But tonight, Xiao Ming is not only to teach Lu Tong to produce the traditional black powder of the Great Yu country, but to further upgrade the black powder to granular powder, which is also a way to enhance the power of black powder.

As for the granulation of gunpowder in his era in the 15th century, it had already appeared in the West, so it was not a problem technically at this time.

After the trio of Aster grind all the sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal in their hands into fine powder, according to Xiao Ming's request, Lu Tong mixed the three materials according to the ratio of gunpowder.

Suddenly a small pile of black powder appeared in front of the four.

"His Royal Highness, is this done?" Lu Tong asked, looking excited, this process is not dangerous.

"Well, it's done." Xiao Ming was just scaring Lu Tong. There is no danger in grinding the three materials separately, and it is really dangerous now.

Lu Tong had only heard of gunpowder before, but he had never seen it before. At this time, he said, "His Royal Highness, how do you use this gunpowder?"

The first gunpowder in Qingzhou was born under his own hands. Xiao Ming was also a little excited. He took some of the gunpowder out of the pile and took it farther away.

Then took a small branch and lit it on the candle.

"It's so useful." Xiao Ming finished speaking, and touched the gunpowder with a branch. With a "click", the gunpowder on the ground suddenly made a soft noise, followed by thick blue smoke and the smell of gunpowder.

"Ah..." Lu Luo was not mentally prepared yet, so she screamed and hid behind Xiao Ming.

Although Aster is bold, it is also pale.

The gunpowder burned very quickly, and disappeared after a burst of white light. They had never seen such a weird thing before, and they didn't know that they thought it was a witchcraft.

Lu Tong was still worried, but now that he has really seen gunpowder, he is not afraid anymore.

"His Royal Highness, this gunpowder burns really fast." Lu Tong said, "but it's just that, it can't kill the barbarians."

"Of course not, but you will know if you can." Xiao Ming beckoned, and a servant came over with something like a cylinder.

Lu Tong met and asked, "His Royal Highness, what is this?"

Xiao Ming chuckled. This thing was actually the shell of a firecracker he had his servant roll up with paper.

At this time, the bottom of the firecracker was sealed with yellow mud, and a hole was reserved for gunpowder.

"You'll know by tomorrow." Xiao Ming picked up the gunpowder and put it in, then took some yellow mud and stuffed the top of the firecrackers.

At the same time, a needle was used to leave a hole on it, which will be used for ignition in the future.

After doing this, Xiao Ming took the firecrackers to dry, and when the yellow mud on top had solidified, the firecrackers could be used.

Originally, Xiao Ming wanted to teach Lu Tong how to use the cold mixing method to granulate gunpowder, but it was too late to make black gunpowder, so he planned to leave it to tomorrow.

Let Lu Tong come back tomorrow, and Xiao Ming asked Aster to pack things up, and the gunpowder production teaching ended.

Sending off Lu Tong, Aster and Luluo did not go back to rest, but followed Xiao Ming.

Stretching, Xiao Ming said strangely, "Why don't you go back?"

"His Royal Highness works day and night for government affairs, and now I am tired of going south for the Barbarian people. Luluo and I cannot help Your Highness in government affairs. We can always serve His Highness a lot in daily life." Aster said obediently.

Xiao Ming looked at the two of them. In fact, since ancient times, people have compared their hearts with each other.

These days, Xiao Ming treated the servants of the palace well, and these servants were naturally grateful to Xiao Ming.

The servants in the palace are working harder than before.

"Everyone said that Qin Chen wouldn't let his eyebrows be shaved. Who said that you can't help my king in government affairs. I need your help when I have something to do." Xiao Ming said suddenly.

Now Qingzhou belongs to the quiet period before the war, and everyone here needs to use it as much as possible.

Aster asked in surprise: "What does your Highness need us to do?"

These days, the Qingzhou Army’s armor is temporarily resolved, but the Qingzhou Army can’t wear armor naked.

This involves issues such as army clothes and shoes.

The barbarians were right in front of him, and Xiao Ming had to temporarily switch to Songun mode during this period, all for the army's consideration.

Many soldiers of the Qingzhou Army now wear straw sandals and twine shoes, so problems will inevitably arise when they march.

So Xiao Ming thought about how to make soldiers wear cloth shoes, and in this era, men and women weavers ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ want to solve this solution to organize a large number of women to participate in this labor.

However, this matter is naturally inappropriate for men to come forward, because women in this era basically cannot get out of the door, and the second door is not.

It would be different if Aster and Luluo were involved in this matter.

Firstly, they were people close to Xiao Ming, with enough prestige, no one dared to provoke them. Secondly, both of them were proficient in women's weaving and were familiar with this.

It would be more appropriate for them to participate in the establishment of the first female textile factory and bedding and clothing factory of this era, otherwise the loom technology he mastered would be wasted.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming shared his thoughts with the two of them, and when Aster and Luluo heard the words, they immediately laughed.

"His Royal Highness, we can help with this matter, but when His Royal Highness knows how to spin." Aster smiled covering her mouth.

In this era, men and women weaving, this is purely a matter of women, and it is inevitable that aster will make jokes.
