Faced with Li Er's excitement, Li Sheng was not so optimistic.
Everyone knew about the birth of Black Fire Yao in Li Sheng's time. It was the work of the Pheasant Taoist priests who were practicing alchemy all over the country during the Song Dynasty.
The difficulty can also be said to be very average.
How difficult can it be to make sulfur and saltpeter? There is no guidance from chemical theory. In terms of the proportion details of the formula, there are some more and some less, which are not scientific enough. It takes some attempts to fit the standard and the proportion that conforms to the chemical formula.
But...compression, compression of black fire yao, this is a pure technical activity.
Although Lao Li was very excited, Li Sheng knew that this matter could easily go wrong.
It requires very slow hand speed, a metal-free workshop that is safe enough, and... in short, various operating specifications are indispensable.
Li Sheng himself was extremely careful and it took him so long to do this.
If Li Er really opened a yao bombing workshop, it would be okay if it simply failed. The key is that he was afraid of some explosion.
First of all, Li Er was very embarrassed.
If Li Er loses face, then Lao Li will lose face. Then how can he be good as a person who offers advice?
So Li Sheng knew that he had to explain this matter to Lao Li repeatedly, not only the necessity and urgency, but also the need to be careful.
"Lao Li, don't get too excited yet."
"This thing, I assure you with the Y chromosome of my old Li family, its power will definitely not disappoint you. However, the production process is very dangerous, and one bad thing..."
"Let me tell you this, in a workshop accident, at most 20% of the living creatures will be left within a radius of five miles."
"This...why is it so scary?"
Li Er was immediately frightened, and Wei Zheng and others also frowned, "Isn't this an evil thing?"
"Sir, are you planning on exorcising ghosts or casting a curse?"
"In a place where soldiers live and die, using this insidious technique may be unlucky for the country."
Everyone thought it was very problematic.
Li Sheng laughed directly.
"Your concept is really primitive and superstitious. But don't worry, this thing is definitely not from the underworld. You can't find anyone with more yang energy in the world than this one. Come with me."
…
After a while, Li Sheng led Li Er and others to a small mountain col.
In the wilderness, there is no one around.
The forest is dense and the rocks are rugged.
Not only is it quite desolate, but it also seems very dangerous because there is no human habitation. After the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the security of China has become... there is no security at all. In the past, Shi Chong, the richest man in the Western Jin Dynasty, led troops in the northwest area
Made a fortune from robbery.
In addition, there were Turks appearing nearby, so Li Er and others cheered up.
Li Jing even turned on the battlefield mode, watching all directions and listening in all directions.
Du Ruhui frowned and said, "Sir, why do you come to such a remote place to test?"
Li Sheng waved his hand.
"This is the right place to come. The village needs to open a canal nearby. There happens to be a stone blocking this area. I'm here to lift the stone."
"Stone? What stone and which stone?"
Li Er looked around, then Li Sheng pointed to the hill next to him with his chin.
It is about seven or eight meters high and is a pile of strange rocks.
For a moment, Li Er and others were stunned.
This thing... can also be opened manually???
Your Highness, are you going to put on this show of Jingwei Reclamation?
then……
Then Li Sheng took out a small paper bag and a strange-shaped kettle from his arms.
…
Opening the cloth bag, he carefully stuffed a strange black-gray object into the kettle.
Hand speed is extremely slow.
But after stuffing it in, Li Sheng placed the kettle under the rock pile.
Then, a long rope was used, and somehow it was connected to the mechanism of the kettle.
Then he took Li Er and left quickly.
"Let's go, go quickly."
"Leave? Why are you leaving?" Li Er also looked confused.
Weren't you here to test weapons? Why did you leave?
At this time, Wei Zheng, Li Jing and other ministers were frowning.
Because they discovered that His Highness, who had always been calm and calm, showed a rare serious expression.
After a while, I walked two to three hundred meters away and came to a pit.
The rope is also very long and Li Sheng prepared it in advance.
Just when Li Er and others looked confused,
Li Sheng pointed to a pit and said, "Come on, let's hide in it together. Fortunately, the folks in our village dug the pit big enough! It's no problem for us to go down together."
The pit Li Sheng pointed to was about two meters deep and long in shape. It was actually a temporary trench.
But in this era, how could Li Er and others have ever seen such a thing as a trench?
It looks like a real burial place!
Wei Zheng thought for a moment and frowned and said, "These pits are used to bury people. It would be...unlucky to go in."
The other people felt the same way and nodded.
Li Sheng chuckled, "Don't come in? Then I'll pretend it's nothing, and you don't have to report to His Majesty. But the weapons are about to be activated. In order to avoid hurting innocent people, please go back first..."
"No, no, sir, I'll come down right away!"
Li Er and the others mainly didn't understand what Li Sheng wanted to do. Since they were talking about testing weapons, why did they have to leave and dig into the earth again?
It is completely a deceptive behavior in the human world.
But after a while...
Everyone jumped into the pit. Li Sheng's eyes narrowed and he pulled out the long rope in his hand.
Then, they pulled Li Er and a group of people around them and quickly lowered their heads and hid under the pit.
next moment……
boom!
…
There was a loud noise, as if the world was created.
At this moment, whether it was Li Er or Li Jing, two battle-hardened generals, or Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and other civil servants.
Everything went blank in my mind.
A pair of ears lost all hearing, only a buzzing sound...
After the explosion, the whole world was pure.
Li Sheng, on the other hand, had covered his ears early.
Then, I received a few looks that looked like I was seeing a ghost...
"Okay, buddy, let's go and take a look at the scene. The effect looks pretty good..."
After saying that, Li Sheng immediately turned over and left the pit.
Li Er, Li Jing and others quickly came to their senses and quickly climbed out of the pit with Li Sheng.
Afterwards, I jogged a few hundred meters and arrived at the explosion site. Finally... I saw a terrifying scene.
The original hillock made of large rocks has completely disappeared.
There are scattered rubbles everywhere...
And in place, there was a large pit with smoke rising...
Li Er and others understood instantly...
Why did Li Shenghui say that five hundred people were enough to break the city...
This thing...
If one person carries twenty kilograms, not to mention five hundred people, I'm afraid two hundred people can break through the city wall!
The thunder just now shocked them so much!
"Sir, this, this new weapon... I'll wait... I'll wait..."
Except for Li Er, Wei Zheng and others were all trembling at this moment.
Li Sheng rubbed his temples, "But I still want to remind you, if you are not sure, don't rush to produce this thing..."
