"What is this?" Qin Yun pointed to the densely packed vials placed on the stone.
Jin Zhu immediately walked out of the crowd and wiped his dark face: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this is a container for sesame oil. I am trying to stuff the sesame oil and the raw materials of the fire tube into it."
"After being broken, the two are compatible, thus achieving the effect of the Molotov cocktail that His Majesty wanted."
Qin Yun took one look at it. Although he didn't have any great physics knowledge, he knew it wouldn't work.
"no!"
"The bottle is too big. It would be difficult for a sergeant to carry one bottle, let alone fight."
"Secondly, this is made of ceramic. It's too easy to break. So I'll replace it with iron."
Hearing this, all the people working here showed embarrassment.
Jin Zhu said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it can't be reduced. After the fire tube is opened, saltpeter and other ingredients will occupy half of the bottle."
"And the iron sheet... this consumes too much money, and the money budget needs to be at least three times more!"
You must know that the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has allocated millions of taels of silver to the Firearms Research Institute. The consumption of manpower, materials, and various other things has reached a terrifying level.
Now three times more?
What a concept!
Will Xiliang be reconquered? Will the Turks be defeated?
Everyone secretly broke into a cold sweat.
Who would have thought that Qin Yun didn't care and made the final decision.
"Don't say three times, even ten times I will study it!"
"I have ordered that all unused iron be brought here to be smelted and made into molds of this size and shape."
Qin Yun quickly drew a shape on the paper, which was similar to a small beer bottle in later generations. It could be pinned to the waist for easy throwing.
Hearing this, Jin Zhu and others looked at each other in shock.
Finally, I looked at Mr. Feng, hoping that he could stand up and say something. I always felt that His Majesty was too paranoid. Wouldn't it be better to build more heavy-duty crossbows if he had the money?
But before Mr. Feng opened his mouth, Qin Yun blocked everyone's attempts to persuade him with one sentence.
"This matter is related to the lifeblood of my rise in Daxia!"
Everyone was shocked, the lifeblood of the rise?
Even though Jin Zhu understood the concepts of sesame oil and Molotov cocktails, he still found them a bit unbelievable.
"yes!"
Feng Lao took the lead and handed over.
Qin Yun was very serious and rolled up his sleeves. He didn't mind that it was dirty and hot here.
He stared at the messy table: "Jinzhu, you just said that the saltpeter in the fire tube is indispensable, right?"
"Yes, once it is less, it will cause the saltpeter to leak out and the sesame oil will not ignite."
Hearing this, Qin Yun's eyes suddenly froze!
Standing there, lost in thought.
When others saw this, they all held their breath.
Qin Yun's brain was running at the speed of light. Daxia's fire tube was commonly known as "fire tube". The principle was actually saltpeter and phosphorus. It was sealed without oxygen. Once opened, a flame would appear with a gentle blow.
But only flames are too useless, there must be explosion shock waves.
To throw a Molotov cocktail out, it needs to cover an area of at least two meters in diameter to be worth the expense.
What can be done to reduce weight and have explosive power?
Looking at Qin Yun, who was as motionless as a sculpture, everyone was dumbfounded and kept whispering to each other.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"Weird."
"Who says otherwise? I heard that Lord Jinzhu is researching a derivative of sesame oil, and the expenditure has exceeded the military expenditure of His Majesty's direct army."
"Hiss...that's terrible."
"Is Your Majesty... distressed because money has been spent and things have not been researched?"
In the sweltering stone tower, the molten lava is constantly and gurglingly burning the raw materials of sesame oil, which makes people feel even more nervous.
clatter……
A drop of sweat dripped from Qin Yun's temples.
His eyes widened, a flash of light flashed, and he suddenly shouted: "I know, I know!"
"Damn it, I actually forgot the principle of firecrackers!"
"Yes, yes!"
"The Molotov cocktail is coming!"
He shouted excitedly, his face turned red, like a madman.
"Your Majesty?" Mr. Feng was worried.
People around looked surprised, what happened?
Qin Yun ignored it, grabbed Jin Zhu's wrist excitedly, and shouted: "Haha, listen to me!"
"I can prevent spontaneous combustion and explosion, and can also reduce the size of the incendiary bottle. While burning, it will explode like a thunder!"
Every word he said was extremely sure.
The expressions of Jin Zhu and several of his confidants changed suddenly.
Is this possible?
They had been researching for so long, working day and night, and could not put the sesame oil into a small bottle that also had the ability to explode.
Qin Yundao: "Mix the lime with yellow mud and weld it to the bottom of the tin bottle. This is the first part!"
"The second part is to find a way to refine the sesame oil into a solid form to prevent penetration."
"This also solves the problem of stabilizing the saltpeter and phosphorus in the third part."
"Finally, a lid was added. During the battle, the soldiers unscrewed the lid. After a flash, the saltpeter and phosphorus would catch fire when they encountered oxygen."
"Fire started, followed by burning sesame oil solids."
"The pressure inside the bottle increases, and the yellow mud at the bottom cannot escape from the iron sheet. After a certain period of time, it will explode!"
Hearing this, everyone was full of doubts, as if they were listening to a book from heaven.
What is oxygen?
People close to him like Mr. Feng looked at him with astonishment on their faces, as if they didn't recognize him anymore. Where did Your Majesty learn this knowledge?
Does the imperial study have such a thing?
Suddenly, he spoke again.
"When the time comes...!"
Qin Yun's eyes were like daggers, full of wolfish nature and blood. He opened his hands and said in an exaggerated and powerful way: "Bang!!"
"The incendiary bottles exploded like fireworks, and the enemy soldiers fell on their backs and were covered in fire. The battle was basically a waste of effort!"
"Warriors against foreign tribes can be devastating!"
The passionate voice made everyone tremble!
His pupils looked at Qin Yun, gradually lost in thought.
Under his description, everyone seemed to have seen the terrifying scene of the artifact descending from the sky and sweeping across the battlefield!
It was quiet all around, and then his breathing gradually became heavier.
Infected by Qin Yun's ambition and longing!
Jin Zhu swallowed hard and said seriously: "Your Majesty, is what you said true?"
"Is it possible to get to this point?"
Qin Yun nodded firmly: "There is definitely no problem with this method, but there are many small issues that need to be corrected. This is your job. For example, the detonation time and opening the lid should take at least five seconds."
"It's too fast, you'll be the one to explode!"
The golden beads gleamed, and confidence appeared in his eyes.
"It's your Majesty. Since you said so, I believe it will succeed."
"I'll give my best until I die!"
With a crash, people all around collectively knelt down and shouted: "I will give my all until I die!"
Qin Yun wiped his sweat vigorously.
He looked into the entire stone tower. Hundreds of people were crowded into the sweltering space, and they spoke passionately.
"Brothers, do your best!"
"The Molotov cocktail is not something that can be achieved overnight, but as long as you have researched it, you will be the heroes of Daxia!"
"No matter how difficult or dangerous it is, we must overcome it. The so-called..."
"You will be remembered forever, you are so reckless!" He opened his eyes wide and said seriously.
