Chapter 423 Arms
For several days, Han Mu said he was sick and did not go to court. He calmed down and began to study a note. It was the notes left by Lu Xun. It recorded the production of various pills and the interaction between various substances. Of course, there were also various strange theories, such as the principles of heaven and earth, the way of yin and yang, the theory of gods and ghosts, and other horrifying things.**()
A few years ago, Han Mu obtained this note when he killed Lu Shu. He read it roughly and did not study it carefully. First, there was no time, and secondly, there was no need. This time, Han Mu spent several days studying this note, and he had to do it.
The city of Xiangyang was broken, and the secrets of the thunder chariot in the army were leaked. The Qin people could only quickly imitate thousands of thunder chariots. Moreover, there were many wild yaks in the northwest. The bowstrings made of wild yak tendons would greatly increase the power of the thunder crossbow. At that time, the Qin people's thunder chariot range would probably reach 1,500 steps away. When thinking of this, Han Mu was frightened. When he first transformed the crossbow, he never thought that this thing would one day shoot at him.
Han Mu naturally could not allow such a thing to happen. He wanted to create a more powerful suppression weapon to deal with such a situation. The giant catapult cart was mass-producing when attacking Health City, but this extremely distant weapon only shot several hundred kilograms of stones, which really made Han Mu unwilling to accept it, so he turned on Lu Xun's notes.
His focus was on looking at the formulas of Lu Xun's explosion pills and gas pills left by Lu Xun. However, although Han Mu was a college student in later generations, his professionalism in this area was obviously not as good as Lu Xun's demonic path. The nouns and principles mentioned by Lu Xun made Han Mu confused, and this now made Han Mu a little disappointed.
"Come, go and invite Mr. Cao." Han Mu closed the notes and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Abide by the order." The eunuch hurriedly went out to pass the message. Han Mu got up and found a jade bottle with his mouth sealed in the back of the rack in the room and placed it on the table.
A smell of alcohol came to his nose. Han Mu knew that Cao Dong was coming, so he quickly got up to greet him.
"See Your Majesty." Jieshi bowed to the ground with a long beaker: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, why do you have time to ask me to come?"
Han Mu smiled and said, "I got a bottle of fine wine, but I don't know how to use this one, so I asked the sir to give you this bottle of good wine. Giving the sword to a hero, the wine will naturally be given to someone who knows the goods. If I drink it, it is wasting the wine."
Jieshi opened his eyes wide and said, "What wine is there?"
Han Mu reached out to the jade bottle and pointed, "No, just such a small bottle, it is said to be..."
Jieshi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't talk about it first, wait until I smell it and see if it's right."
Han Mu looked at him with a smile without being interrupted. Jie Shi held the jade bottle in both hands and observed it up and down, left and right. His face changed, and then he put his nose on the seal and smelled it for a while. He suddenly said in surprise: "Is this the ancient jade liquid "Cold Pond Fragrance"?"
Han Mu praised, "It can be seen that it is amazing. The person who gave this wine told me that this small bottle of wine can be worth tens of taels of gold. I don't understand that this small bottle of wine is actually worth tens of gold. What a strange thing."
Jieshi waved his hand and said, "No, it's nonsense to say that gold is a nonsense."
Han Mu smiled and said, "I said so too, how can I have such valuable wine?"
Jieshi opened his eyes wide and said, "There is a lot of gold. This bottle of wine is worth a lot, no, no, no, money or property may be renewable. If you drink it, you will not be able to get it again. It is comparable to a priceless treasure."
Han Mu rolled his eyes and thought to himself: Damn, this is true for you alcoholics. For people who taste the same thing, what is the difference between this and the three-cent pound brew made in street workshops?
"This wine is an ancient wine that has never existed in the world for a long time. According to legend, there was a wine fairy in the Zhou Dynasty who was good at brewing this wine. He picked wild fruits and millet grown on the clouds of mountains and mists, brewed several jars of fine wine, buried it underground for decades, put it in a jar and put it in a jade bottle, and placed it in a deep pool of ice. A hundred years later, the water in the pool was all the good wine, and the fragrance spreads for a hundred miles. As for the wine under the pool, no one knew about it. I didn't expect that I could actually see the original liquid of "The Fragrance of Cold Pond" today, which is a blessing in my life."
Jieshi said while rubbing the jade bottle, and she couldn't let go of it. Seeing that he was talking very well, Han Mu didn't expect that the wine was so good. He was just fiddling around in the imperial palace warehouse. Seeing this bottle of wine, the treasurer told Han Mu that the wine was called Hantan Xiang. Han Mu didn't know that it was such a good wine, and he thought it was just an ordinary wine to please Jieshi. At this moment, he heard that the wine was so precious and had a good background, and his heart was heartbroken.
Jie Shi hugged the jade bottle tightly, his face pressed against the bottle, as if he was holding a naked beauty; Han Mu knew that he would not come back to this bottle of wine even if he was beaten to death.
"Don't hold it to you, can I regret it if I give it to you?"
"That's not sure. I think you don't know the benefits of this bottle of wine at all."
"...I really don't know that I have suffered such a huge loss. I have given you a mountain of gold. Don't you want to repay me if I have something?"
"I just knew there was no good thing. I helped you make medicine and sell medicine for the Han family. Isn't it worth it to make so much money? Now that you have a big Jin Dynasty, are you still short of money?"
Han Mu laughed and handed Lu Shu's notes to Jieshi and said, "Help me get out that explosion pill early. Even if I help me a lot, when the country is stable, I will open a Shangjiujian and let you be the leader. The court will pay you to collect the fine wine in the world and use the best food to make wine for you. In the future, you can do it in the wine jar."
"The conditions are so good?" Jieshi was skeptical.
"The premise is to help me create this explosion pill. If the small one is not enough, the big one should be at least as big as a fist."
"What if I can't make it?"
"The fragrance of Hantan is taken back. From now on, you are not allowed to drink alcohol. You must know that you are a deacon in the attendant's room."
Jieshi studied Han Mu's face and distinguished the true and falsehood. Han Mu said nothing with a stern face. Jieshi looked at it for a long time and sighed, "Well, I'm doing my best."
After saying that, he grabbed Lu Xun's notes and walked out. Han Mu hurriedly called him and said, "No need to leave the palace, just study it in the palace. I have arranged an empty yard, so you can study it there so that I can check the progress at any time."
So from this day on, a small courtyard in the southeast corner of the palace was in peace. The fire and explosions from time to time, as well as the pungent and unpleasant smell of gunpowder smoke made the palace maids and eunuchs scream. However, the emperor issued a strict order and no matter what the situation inside, the guards were notified and were guarding at the gate of the courtyard in fear. The explosions behind the police blocked the idle people from entering and leaving.
Jieshi tried hard and used Lu Xun's vague formula as a model. In conjunction with Han Mu's discussion and reminder, he finally experimented with a big guy called Poison Smoke and Thunder thunder thirty days later. When Han Mu went to see it, he saw that the black gunpowder ball weighed five pounds, 15 pounds of sulfur, 5 pounds of grass bird head, 14 pounds of flame salt, 5 pounds of barbecue, 5 pounds of wolf poison, 2 pounds of tung oil, 2 pounds of small oil, 5 pounds of charcoal powder, 2 pounds of asphalt, 2 pounds of arsenic, 1 pounds of yellow wax, 1 pounds of bamboo jujube, 1 pounds of maru, 1 pounds of maru, 1 pounds of maru, 1 pounds of beeswax, 5 pounds of oil, 2 pounds of tung oil, 2 pounds of small oil, 2 pounds of small oil, 2 pounds of small charcoal powder, 2 pounds of asphalt, 2 pounds of arsenic, 1 pounds of yellow wax, 1 pounds of bamboo jujube, 1 pounds of maru, 1 pounds of maru, 1 pounds of maru, 1 pounds of maru, 1 pounds of beeswax, 5 pounds of beeswax, 1 brisket, or paper on the outside.
This ball will explode after being thrown out and explode. A large amount of poisonous smoke will be produced. People who inhaled will bleeding from their mouths and noses. Although it will not be fatal, they will lose their combat effectiveness.
Han Mu thought that this was a chemical weapon, and if it was criticized by the world for being inhumane in the future, he would not care about so much here. What is the difference between talking about humanity and striving for tigers with a tiger?
By drawing inferences from one example, Jieshi successively made thunder, grenades and other objects. The basic formula did not change. He just discarded the arsenic wolf poison and other objects, replaced it with a large amount of gunpowder and broken iron sheets, and replaced it with firing pottery outside to prepare for mass destruction.
Han Mu chose a good day and secretly conducted live-fire tests in the Imperial Guards in the suburbs of Beijing. The powerful throwing force of the giant threw out a full basket of thunder. The thunder fell on the hill two thousand steps away in a scattered flower shape. The thunder suddenly exploded everywhere. The whole hill flew everywhere, and the trees broke, and the smoke dissipated. A small hill with beautiful scenery and lush flowers and trees instantly turned into a burnt land with bare hills. The generals participating in the secret experiment were shocked.
The test launch of poisonous smoke and thunder was also successful. Then Han Mu couldn't wait to establish the Arms Department, transferred Jieshi to the deacon of the Arms Department, and started to produce it in large quantities. This kind of thing was too dangerous, so Han Mu set up a large field in Fuzhoushan, North City to establish the Arms Department arsenal, and sent 5,000 Northern Palace troops to station there to be responsible for the defense. The level of defense was higher than that of the palace.
