Wei and Jin Cooks

   Chapter 464 Gunpowder

   Zhao Hanzhang valued spring ploughing very much, and repeatedly warned: "This land has been opened for you, so we must not delay spring ploughing."

  Ping Xun responded and was stunned when he saw Zhao Hanzhang mount his horse, "Is the envoy going to leave?"

   "I'm passing by, stop by and have a look, you guys are busy."

  Pingxun could only watch them ride away with regret, he still wanted Zhao Hanzhang to enter Yushantang to see.

However, it will take a long time to come to Japan. Yushantang has just been built a few days ago. At this time, no results can be seen. When they have finished the field and the school, and the children have achieved their studies, they will be able to see him when the emperor comes back. achievement.

   Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan came out today to test explosives.

   The group went into the mountain, a stone mountain, the stones used to build houses in Luyang City were collected from here, but it is not easy to mine now, so they changed a mountain.

  This mountain was abandoned, Zhao Hanzhang asked people to surround the mountain and not let idlers approach, so he brought Fu Tinghan to test.

   Qiuwu came up with two wooden barrels, put them down and saluted, "Girl, Dalangjun, I have brought everything."

  Fu Tinghan opened the lid of the wooden barrel, and inside was a section of bamboo as thick as a child's arm.

   He took it out carefully and motioned Zhao Hanzhang to look at it, "It's just filled with gunpowder. I haven't tried it. I'll see the effect today, and then adjust the formula."

   He took out a box from the bottom of the barrel, opened it, and inside was a coil of wire.

Qiu Wu felt pain in his fingers when he saw this coil of thread. He twisted the thread. It was made of paper, not a big piece of paper. It was wrapped with a little saltpeter powder, and then rolled up thinly and brushed again. Dry the rice after drying.

   This long thread was twisted by him. Qiu Wu didn't understand why he, the head of the guard, would do such a thing.

  Fu Tinghan's hands are quite handy, he put the thread into the bamboo knots lightly, and then twisted the bamboo knots together.

   Qiuwu counted and wrapped a total of twelve bamboo knots.

  Fu Tinghan looked at the mountain, and finally chose a large rock to lay down the bamboo knot under the side, and then began to pull the line out.

   pulled out all the way, and then he cut the line.

   Zhao Hanzhang saw that he was ready, so he ordered: "Let everyone retreat, stay away from this mountain, squat and watch."

   Qiuwu: "Huh?"

   Zhao Hanzhang glanced at him.

   Qiuwu responded immediately: "Yes."

   He immediately made the soldiers and guards back.

   Seeing that they all retreated to the safe area, Fu Tinghan took out the fire book, blew it, and when the fire came out, he squatted down and lit the lead.

   The lead squeaked, and then quickly burned all the way...

   Zhao Hanzhang pulled up Fu Tinghan and trotted out, ran all the way and squatted on the ground with his ears covered.

Qiu Wu several guards saw it, hesitantly touched his ears, hesitating between covering or not covering, suddenly there was a loud noise, everyone's heart jumped, Qiu Wu subconsciously pulled out his sword, his heart almost jumped out , As soon as he looked up, he was shocked to see the stone mountain where the smoke and dust rose to the sky in the distance.

"This……"

   The guards and soldiers panicked for a moment, and then together with Qiuwu, they stared at the rocky mountain that made a loud noise.

   When the smoke cleared, the rocky mountain that was difficult to mine collapsed, and the blasted stones were scattered all over the floor.

   Zhao Hanzhang was very excited, he grabbed Fu Tinghan and rushed up to see it.

   Seeing that the blasted place was not small and filled with falling rocks, she nodded with satisfaction, "This is not small, is it because you used a good formula, or because you used a large amount?"

  Fu Tinghan also looked at the stones on the ground, and felt that the power was too strong, "Try it again, try it with only six bamboo knots later."

   Zhao Hanzhang nodded.

   They re-select the blasting site.

   Qiuwu couldn't calm down for a long time, not to mention other guards and soldiers, this... seems to be a bit powerful.

   Qiuwu started to follow Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan step by step. Seeing that Fu Tinghan was tying the wire again, he could not help but ask in a soft voice, "Da... Dalang-Jun, did you make this thing?"

  Fu Tinghan tied the wire and handed it to him, "You have seen how to light it just now, you can try it now."

   Qiu Wu nervously took it, Fu Tinghan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, as long as this thing doesn't collide violently or see fire, it won't explode."

   Qiuwu is even more nervous.

  It's no wonder that when they went out this morning, Dalang-Jun asked them to **** the contents of the bucket carefully.

   Qiu Wu carefully carried the gunpowder up the mountain, put it on the position selected by Fu Tinghan, and then walked down with the line.

The    line is naturally impossible to pull down the mountain, and the rest of the mountain road is rugged and not easy to run.

   So Zhao Hanzhang didn't let Fu Tinghan come forward, but went up and lit the lead.

  Seeing that the lead was burning up quickly, Zhao Hanzhang turned around and jumped down the mountain with Qiu Wu. The two of them were nimble in shape. They jumped down the mountain in three or five steps, then ran all the way, and jumped into the previously dug gully.

   She and Qiu Wu just fell, and there was a loud bang on the mountain. Fu Tinghan kept counting the time in his heart, and raised his hand to cover her ears when she fell.

   He knew that she was sensitive to hearing, and the loud noise was uncomfortable for them, not to mention her.

   Qiuwu has been paying attention to protection. Seeing that Dalang-Jun took their girls into his arms and covered their ears, he frowned, so he obediently leaned in the gully and waited for the explosion to pass.

   The power of this explosion is much smaller, but there are also a lot of rocks.

   Zhao Hanzhang was very satisfied, "It seems that this recipe is very successful, it's just the first test, it doesn't need to be modified at all."

   She asked Fu Tinghan curiously, "Do you usually do research on this?"

   Seeing Fu Tinghan frowning slightly, he asked, "Why, can't you tell?"

   Fu Tinghan raised his brows, shook his head and said, "If in the past, this was to be kept secret, I really can't say it, but now it's nothing."

He said: "I have participated in military research before, mainly to help them calculate some parameters. Some laboratories hold early arsenal materials. Because it is a confidential project, sometimes it takes several months to come out. When I was idle and bored, I read all the materials that could be seen in the laboratory."

   Those things can be regarded as historical materials, and the weapons and equipment have been improved many times, so they only play the role of understanding the hardships and hardships of their ancestors, and do not prevent people in the laboratory from borrowing them.

   "I have a good memory, so I picked a formula from it, just tried it out, but I didn't expect it to be so successful."

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "After all, it is a mature formula."

  Fu Tinghan nodded, this research is very labor-saving, because everything that should be available in this era does not need to be laborious.

   Qiu Wu ran over excitedly, "Girl, Dalang-kun, are the remaining six tubes bombed?"

  Fu Tinghan pondered for a while and said, "This one-tube, two-tube, and three-tube blasting just happens to test their power."

   Qiu Wu was eager to try, "Girl, this is too dangerous, let the lowly position lead the rest."

   Zhao Hanzhang nodded and waved: "Go, be careful."

   Qiu Wu responded excitedly.

See you tomorrow
