Chapter 240 238, this thing will subvert the world, make you Dao heart
Chen Yuan stopped the furious Zhang Fei. This matter should not be rushed, otherwise it may affect the relationship between Liu Bei and Lu Zhi.
However, Chen Yuan will definitely not let Lu Fang go.
This person not only hates Liu Bei, but also has a sinister temperament, which is a big problem.
This is also the reason why Liu Bei and Chen Yuan did not have an incident after they learned about this incident.
Liu Bei was very angry at that time. If Chen Yuan hadn't stopped him, Liu Bei would have written to Lu Zhi asking what the Lu family meant.
Although Chen Yuan stopped Liu Bei, Chen Yuan was not the kind of person who would just settle down after suffering a loss. He had already made arrangements for Lu Fang.
The reason why Lu Fang is able to dominate is because he belongs to the Lu family. If the Lu family kicks him out of the house, he will be a lost dog and someone will take care of him.
Therefore, Chen Yuan directly ordered the Jinfeng Guards of Zhuo County to collect various evidence of Lu Fang's crimes, and then let Lu Zhi know about it in a clever way.
With Lu Zhi's temperament, once he knew these things, Lu Fang would be close to death.
How could Zhang Fei not understand at this time that Chen Yuan seemed to be blackmailing him, but in fact he was helping him.
So, Zhang Fei said: "Fourth brother, you can just take the inkstone, what are you talking about whether to gamble or not?"
Chen Yuan waved his hand: "Third brother, no matter what, it is your beloved thing, how can I just take it like this? Am I, Chen Yuan, that kind of person?"
Zhang Fei couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
He finally figured out that it was not a big deal for him to accept the inkstone, otherwise Liu Bei would have talked to him long ago.
The most critical thing is that Nalu Fang's purpose is too despicable and vicious.
It was true that Chen Yuan came to rescue him, but it was also true that he wanted his own inkstone.
Fortunately, Zhang Fei already knew who his fourth brother was.
Therefore, Zhang Fei could only nod: "Okay, those three will bet with you."
Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile.
Get a precious inkstone.
Chen Yuan's handwriting is indeed average, but that doesn't stop him from liking things like pens, inks, paper and inkstones, especially inkstones, which he can even play with when he's bored.
While talking to Zhang Fei, the craftsman's department was already ready and asked Chen Yuan whether to start the experiment.
Chen Yuan's face turned pale: "Have all protective measures been taken?"
The official of the Craftsmanship Department replied: "Military advisor, everything is ready."
"Okay, let's start."
After saying that, Chen Yuan directly closed his ears.
He didn't want to hear a buzzing sound in his ears later.
After hearing Chen Yuan's order, the fuse that had been prepared was ignited.
I saw the sound of sparks coming out of the lead and burning all the way.
The speed is very fast, and the lead is very successful.
Everyone stared closely at the lead, with a kind of expectation in their eyes.
You must know that Chen Yuan was boasting to them, saying that what he showed them today would definitely overturn the whole world.
Although it was all for Chen Yuan's sake, I was still dubious in my heart.
After a while, the lead wire was burned into the iron barrel.
For a while, there was no movement.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Chen Yuan, and the scene was a little awkward for a while.
Chen Yuan was also embarrassed, but as long as Chen Yuan adhered to the principle that as long as he was not embarrassed, others would be embarrassed, and there was an unpredictable smile on his face.
When everyone was confused, a sudden violent explosion sounded in everyone's ears like thunder.
With a "boom", the iron barrel exploded, countless iron pieces flew in all directions, and a large plume of smoke and dust rose directly on the spot.
Fortunately, Chen Yuan had already kept everyone away, so there was no accidental injury.
However, everyone was still stunned by the scene in front of them.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, a large crater with a diameter of more than 20 meters was directly exploded on the spot, with a depth of about three to four meters.
To be honest, Chen Yuan did not expect the power of black gunpowder to be so powerful.
In fact, Chen Yuan underestimated the power of black gunpowder.
In reality, the charge of a 76mm high-explosive artillery shell is about one kilogram, which can turn a small two-story house into rubble.
The charge of a grenade is about 50 grams. It cannot survive within a range of 10 meters. One kilogram is equivalent to 20 grenades exploding at the same time.
The one Chen Yuan tested weighed about three kilograms, which is equivalent to sixty grenades exploding at the same time. The power can be imagined.
However, because it exploded in an iron barrel, a large amount of kinetic energy was absorbed by the iron piece.
The broken pieces of iron flew in all directions like flying swords, hitting the ground like sharp swords and creating countless small craters.
Fortunately, everyone was relatively far away. Although some iron pieces flew closer, their power was lost.
But you have to know that everyone is nearly a hundred meters away from the iron barrel.
This power is truly terrifying.
Everyone was extremely shocked.
There has never been such a weapon with such power. It is indeed as Chen Yuan said, it is going to subvert the world.
Because if the amount of this thing called gunpowder is large enough, it will be powerful enough to destroy the world.
This is only three kilograms, but it is already so powerful. What if it were thirty kilograms, three hundred kilograms or three thousand kilograms.
It's not impossible to blow up a mountain.
Wouldn't that be comparable to or even surpass the strength of a first-level powerhouse?
What is the meaning of their hard work in cultivation?
These people present were all smart people, and they keenly discovered that gunpowder had a huge impact on their way of cultivation.
Chen Yuan saw the shock and confusion in everyone's eyes, and he was already prepared in his heart.
These people now are just like the masters of martial arts in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.
Many people have been hit by firearms and have lost their moral integrity.
Because in practicing Chinese martial arts, unless you reach the pinnacle of practice, a musket can kill a great master who has been practicing for many years.
But how many people can reach the pinnacle of cultivation?
After all, they are a very small number of people.
However, those martial arts masters are indeed strong in their spiritual cultivation. Even if firearms are rampant, they can still find a new path.
That is to strengthen the body, strengthen the country and strengthen the species.
This is also the significance of Chinese martial arts. Practicing Chinese martial arts is not about being brave and ruthless, but about cultivating blood and martial spirit.
If a country or nation does not have blood and martial spirit, even if it has advanced weapons, it will be in vain.
The failure of the Beiyang Fleet is one of the manifestations of this evil consequence.
Therefore, although Chen Yuan has developed gunpowder and will even develop more advanced weapons in the future, the way of cultivation must not be abandoned.
Otherwise, the martial spirit of the Han Dynasty will be lost, which is one of the most precious legacies left by the Han Dynasty.
Chen Yuan absolutely cannot be destroyed.
Therefore, Chen Yuan said to the shocked and confused people: "Is this gunpowder powerful?"
Everyone nodded: "That's pretty strong."
"Do you feel that years of practice are somewhat meaningless?"
No one spoke, but it could be seen from their silent expressions that they had this idea.
However, this is not the case for Zhang Fei.
Although Zhang Fei's face was solemn, he still said: "This gunpowder is indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful it is, the person who uses it is still a human being. If I kill him before he detonates the gunpowder, wouldn't it be over? So in the end, it's still
It depends on the person."
Chen Yuan suddenly looked sideways.
Good guy, the third brother is really as wise as a fool.
None of these smart people can understand as well as Third Brother.
Yes, no matter how powerful the weapons are, it is still humans who use them.
If you understand this truth, you will not be intimidated by the power of gunpowder.
Chen Yuan originally thought that he needed to explain this truth to them himself, but now that Zhang Fei has said it for him, the effect will naturally be better.
Chen Yuan praised: "The third brother really has great wisdom, and he hit the nail on the head."
"No matter how powerful gunpowder is, it is still in the hands of people. Maybe one day we practitioners will not be able to match the strength of gunpowder or even stronger weapons, but we can deal with people."
"Besides, this gunpowder is now in our hands."
"Moreover, there is no end to the path of spiritual practice. In the future, the strength of our practitioners may not be able to surpass those in the past and reach an unprecedented peak. Maybe it is just a matter of nothing."
After hearing Chen Yuan's words, everyone came back to their senses.
In one sentence, it means that the Taoist heart has not collapsed.
However, although everyone agreed with what Chen Yuan said, their faces were still very serious.
Especially Liu Bei, he said to everyone: "Everyone, the gunpowder matter is of great importance and must be kept strictly confidential. Today's matter cannot be spread to the public. If you feel that you have violated the order, don't blame Liu Bei for not remembering the past.
Already."
It's not that Liu Bei is ruthless, it's that gunpowder is really a world-shaking thing, and Liu Bei cannot help but ignore it.
Everyone present also knew the seriousness of the matter, so no one had any objection to Liu Bei's words.
Liu Bei then said to Chen Yuandao: "All the officials and craftsmen of the Craftsmanship Department present today must be strictly protected. It is best to gather them together and never let anyone get lost."
After hearing Liu Bei's words, Chen Yuan suddenly woke up.
I was careless. I still had some old thinking and thought that there was nothing wrong with testing gunpowder.
But now it seems that I was wrong.
Fortunately, the area around today's venue has been watched by Liu Bei's personal guards, so there is no danger of anything going wrong.
Liu Bei thought for a moment: "Zi Chu, you don't have to worry about this matter. I'll leave it to Zi Shou to take charge of it."
As Liu Bei's guard commander, Dian Wei does more than just guard.
If that's the case, the official position of the Guard Commander would be too undervalued.
Not only must he protect Liu Bei's safety, but sometimes he must also do some relatively private things for Liu Bei.
Therefore, the position of guard commander can only be held by the most trusted person of the lord.
Seeing that Liu Bei arranged for Dian Wei to be responsible for this matter, Chen Yuan also felt that it was appropriate.
Because it is absolutely impossible for Dian Wei to betray Liu Bei.
Moreover, Dian Wei is a man with a resolute mood, and does not have too many twists and turns in his heart, nor will he have any other thoughts because of this.
Liu Bei arranged everything.
Chen Yuan didn't bother to take care of it, he only needed to be responsible for his upbringing.
He looked at Xu Fu, who changed his name to Xu Xian: "Mr. Junfang, can this gunpowder be used?"
The person with the most determined Taoism here is Xu Xian.
Although the power of gunpowder did exceed his ability, it did not dissuade him from becoming an immortal.
No matter how powerful it is, it's useless if you can't make yourself fly to immortality.
However, if there were more of them, there might be hope of using them to deal with that thing.
Xu Xian nodded: "This gunpowder is indeed beyond my imagination. Maybe it can really kill that thing."
Having said this, Xu Xian suddenly showed a thoughtful look on his face: "Boy, will your gunpowder still work when it reaches the outer reaches of the sky?"
Chen Yuan was stunned when he heard this.
Damn it.
broken.
Why didn't you think of this?
Gunpowder explosions require oxygen to release their power. Without oxygen, an explosion would be DER.
According to Xu Fu's description, the thing seemed to live in the stratosphere, which contained oxygen and even ozone.
But can that thing only live in the stratosphere? Can it fly higher? If it flies out of the atmosphere, the gunpowder will be useless.
You have to use atomic bombs.
But the atomic bomb cannot be manufactured now.
Therefore, the first thing to do now is to find out the living habits of that thing.
This requires taking risks.
A first-level expert is needed to fly into the sky to find that thing and find out the specific information about it.
This is one way, and the other way is to ask Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty for information on this thing.
According to Chen Yuan's guess, there must be a lot of information about this thing in the imperial court, namely Jiantiantai.
I just don’t know if Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty will give it to me.
No matter what, try both paths.
Chen Yuan immediately explained the cause and effect to Liu Bei.
After Liu Bei heard this, he thought for a while: "I sent Mi Zhe to the Emperor, but now that the Emperor has eunuchs like Shi Changshi around him, Mi Zhe might also look at them first. Once they look at him,
Things are going to be troublesome. Xianhe can't go at this time, so we must send someone with high status who can directly meet the emperor."
After saying that, Liu Bei began to think about who to send.
Not to mention the military, no one has the status to meet the emperor directly.
The main thing is to choose from civil servants and academies.
Cai Yong can definitely do it, but Cai Yong is old, and Liu Bei definitely can't let Cai Yong run around like this.
As for Pang De, Sima Hui, etc., although they are famous, their official positions are not enough. If they want to meet the emperor directly, there is still something missing.
In fact, Xun You could meet the emperor directly, but there was a problem. Xun You could not fully trust him yet.
As for other people, such as Gu Yong, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Xi Zhicai and even Kuai Yue, etc., their status is somewhat inferior.
After much deliberation, Liu Bei suddenly discovered that the most suitable candidate was Chen Yuan.
First of all, Chen Yuan was a close disciple of Cai Yong, and as a military advisor in Jingzhou, he was a general and a strategist, so his identity and status were sufficient.
Secondly, the emperor knew about Chen Yuan.
The opening ceremony of Xiangyang Academy on that day was spread all over the world. As Chen Yuan was one of the protagonists, it was naturally impossible for the emperor not to know about it.
In fact, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had known about Chen Yuan for a long time and had also investigated it. Especially when he found out that Chen Yuan was the son of Chen Guang of the Chen family in Yingchuan, he couldn't help but clasp his hands and laugh.
