"Eleventh taels of flame salt, two taels of toner, two taels of sulfur... Is this the secret recipe for gunpowder from your Shenxiao Sect?"

In a small and secluded workshop made by the right army of the artillery army, Chen Dexing, who was preparing to prepare the ** himself, took a neatly stacked talisman from Taoist Ren. Someone wrote a gunpowder formula that was quite close to the best formula of gunpowder theory in red - it was obvious that this was a secret recipe passed to his son by a certain old Taoist in the Song Dynasty!

"No, this is not a gunpowder formula," Taoist Ren told Chen Dexing in a very affirmative tone, "This is the thunder method of the high-ranking Shenxiao Jade Qingzhen Wang Zishu! It is a secret method obtained by our Shenxiao Sect's ancestor Chong and Ziwang Zhenren from the fire master Wang Jun and Dianmu. It is used in conjunction with the talismans and scriptures of our Shenxiao Sect, which can control ghosts and gods, cause thunder and lightning, and call wind and rain..."

What? What? Slave ghosts and gods, cause lightning, call wind and rain... Chen Dexing was confused and stunned for a while before saying, "Taoist, are you talking so hard?"

"Of course it's true! That's the secret technique passed down to me by my old Taoist!" Taoist Ren looked proud... "We Shenxiao Sect was so excited."

"Okay, tomorrow I will recommend you to the Privy Councilor as an official. You can use this... what secret method to cause lightning, and one lightning will bring down the death of the Mongolian Khan Mengge."

Taoist Ren seemed to have no idea that Chen Dexing was teasing him in words. He sighed and shook his head and said, "Qingzhi, do you think my old Taoist doesn't want to eliminate harm for the country? But how could the Khan of the Tartars have experts around him!"

"Grandman? How tall is it?"

"Of course he is a very high-ranking master. I heard from my old master that there are two masters around the Khan of the Tartars, one is the sixth-generation leader of Quanzhen Sect, the real person Qing and the real person Yin Zhiping!"

Yin Zhiping? Isn’t it the one of Xiaolongnu? Why is there really a person? I don’t know if there is Yang Guo. If there is one, the Mongolian Khan will leave it to him to solve it...

Chen Dexing shook his head, drove away these unrealistic years from his mind, and asked casually: "Is there another master who is the King of Golden Wheel?"

"Golden Wheel...Dharma King? No, but he is also a Dharma King, named Basiba, a Tubo monk. I heard that he has cultivated a good Buddha and has high magic power. Even my old Taoist is not an opponent."

‘There is such a powerful Dharma King?’ Chen Dexing stared at his eyes and said, ‘I called Ren Daoxing (Ren Taoist’s father) the old man named Ren Daoxing to make a grenade and threw it over. Ten Basibas were all flat... Isn’t he an opponent? I don’t know what these Shenxiao Sect’s bull noses think. They obviously have the best gunpowder formula, but they only know how to use it to pretend to be a god. Isn’t this a delay?’

"Okay, your old Taoist can't beat Basiba and Yin Zhiping, so I'll fight! Let's make gunpowder first." Chen Dexing handed over the thunder magic talisman to Taoist Ren, and then gave a special reminder, "This thunder magic must be kept secret, so outsiders can't learn it."

"That's right, of course I know this." Taoist Ren took the talisman and stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it.

"Okay, Taoist priest, then take out your purified saltpeter and sulfur." ​​Chen Dexing was not arguing with Taoist priests about the difference between thunder method and gunpowder, but asked him to take out the purified raw materials of gunpowder. The purification technology of gunpowder raw materials has long been available. Not only can the Taoist priest do it, but even Chen Dexing's pretty mother knows how to do it - gunpowder is also a medicine! Sulfur and saltpeter are used as medicine in this era, so I don't know if they will eat it to death?

Of course, what Taoist Ren and Guo Fuer mastered manual purification, which was very time-consuming. Of course, they didn’t know about the methods of industrial purification. Even Chen Dexing himself didn’t know - he was a seaman, not a chemist.

Purified saltpeter is called Xueji, and purified sulfur is called Kunlun Huang, which is used by Taoist priests to refine alchemy. Of course, these two raw materials are needed for the performance of the Shenxiao School. The refined snow magic method is also required. Taoist Ren learned this skill from an old Taoist since he was a child. The refined snow magic and Kunlun Huang can tell that it is the best, just a little less. Xueji is filled with a water tank, Kunlun Huang has three basins, and three basins have been ground into powder. In addition, Taoist Ren also took a pole to weigh it. As long as it weighs it according to the formula and mixes it well, it will be a good one... or some thunder!

Taoist Ren took out a large copper basin that he came from somewhere and put it on the table. Then he quickly weighed Xueji, Kunlun yellow and charcoal powder, and poured it into the copper basin one by one. It seems that he has done this since he was a child...

"Mix well and add some water." Chen Dexing said, carrying a copper pot containing water and was about to pour it. The Taoist priest on the side jumped up to three feet tall. "You can't add water! Big man, you think this is a kneading face. Gunpowder can't be used if it is dipped in water. These snow and Kunlun yellow are good things, so they are expensive..."

"Crazy..." The water still fell down.

Chen Dexing smiled and stretched out his big hands and opened it in the copper basin. "If wet, you can dry it in the sun, but you should pay attention to fire prevention, and then break the fine sieve. This will produce pelleted gunpowder, so you don't have to worry about the separation of nitrate and sulfur from the charcoal due to bumps during transportation."

"Is there anything else?" Taoist Ren looked at Chen Dexing with suspicion, and he had already suspected that he was a descendant of Fu Yaozi, the ancestor of Chen Tuan, and he also had some ancestral thunder and Taoist techniques.

"Of course!" Chen Dexing nodded and frowned again. His knowledge of explosives ended here. He could not get any advanced explosives such as Tienti, and he didn't even know the solution to industrial production. Moreover, even the methods of manual production of pellets must be kept confidential, otherwise it would fall into the hands of the Mongolians, Chen Dexing would be blind!

Chen Dexing thought for a while and sighed: "The raw materials here can be equipped with at most 200 kilograms of gunpowder... It's too little, and it seems that the tactic of only one shot is correct."

"Isn't there any gunpowder? There are more than 20 craftsmen, now they are following the carpenter and the blacksmith. Why don't you let them do it together?" Taoist Ren reminded Chen Dexing while helping to "knead".

"No, no, what is the difference between telling those craftsmen and telling Beilu?" Chen Dexing shook his head, "Beilu can have fine works in Yangzhou City! Taoist priest, if you are too busy alone, you can ask the gunpowder man to help refine snow salt and Kunlun yellow. The final preparation must be done by yourself, and at most you can recruit a few reliable apprentices."

Even without careful work, it is impossible to say! Granules** is indeed a powerful weapon, but it is not a weapon that truly constitutes combat effectiveness, but a person with weapons! Not to mention anything else, the shipbuilding and navigation capabilities of the Southern Song Dynasty are among the best in the world. Even without the three-layer pulp warships that it contributes, the Song Dynasty also had the ability to build a fleet across the eastern seas.

But how did history develop? The mountains of Yashan leaped on the sea... And the Mongolians who obtained the ability to build ships in the Southern Song Dynasty were able to cross the sea to expedition Japan and Java Island!

So Chen Dexing is not planning to hand over the secret of the ** to the Southern Song Dynasty. What he is guarding against is that if he is unlucky, he cannot let the particles fall into the hands of the Mongolians. Otherwise, Zhu Hongwu and others will have great trouble in the future.

"Qingzhi, I have prepared a total of seven and a half kilograms of snow salt, three and two kilograms of Kunlun yellow, four and eight kilograms of charcoal... If it is not counted as water, I can prepare ten kilograms of gunpowder." Taoist Ren had already made up his "dough" at this time and settled the score for Chen Dexing with his fingers. "The power of this gunpowder should be similar to my thunder method. If an iron cannon is equipped with two and a half kilograms, it will be amazing when it explodes!"
