Ying Jingyu said: "Liu Wenmao, Wang Nian, you two come here."
When the two of them came forward and bowed, Jing Yu said, "How are the saltpeter and stone sulfur you prepared these days?"
"Master, we have prepared enough stone and sulfur, but saltpeter is more difficult to collect. We have collected more than two jun (60 kilograms) in two days."
"Well, that's enough. We need to step up the collection of more saltpeter. How are the preparations of the 'Stone Mines Department'?"
Wang Nian cupped his hands and said: "Sir, the two of us have recruited more than a dozen people who know about stone or mining. The court has given us property and we can start the company within three days. However, if we want to find enough manpower, we still need some people."
Time."
It was something that was expected. I didn’t expect it to happen in a few days. In this era, there are no electric machinery or survey equipment, and we only rely on manpower to search for and mine with bare hands. Even if tens of millions of people in the world use it, it will be far away.
not enough
But the Stone Mining Division can only be established first, and then thanks to the development of technology, the mining efficiency and progress will only increase day by day. By then, whether it is industry, commerce, or wealth, it will skyrocket!
All foundations are inseparable from various minerals...
Jingyu nodded and said: "Very good, you don't have to rush. It doesn't matter if you go slower, but the main task of the Gunpowder Department at present is to prepare enough saltpeter, sulfur, and high-quality charcoal ash."
"Yes, sir!"
After the arrangements were made, Jingyu stopped talking nonsense. After weighing the three gunpowder raw materials in the clay pot and mixing them into proportions, he took out the fire stick and lit it.
Everyone only saw a burst of bright light, and then a thick and pungent black smoke rose into the sky.
Ying Jingyu turned around and looked at the puzzled crowd and said, "Have you ever seen the beauty of this 'gunpowder'?"
Mo Cheng took a step forward and said: "Although the fire is concentrated, how can we retreat from the six countries with this? I don't know what is special about this gunpowder. Please clarify my doubts."
Jingyu said: "Luwu?"
"Wei Chen is here!"
"You make a round iron ball the size of a palm, leave it empty inside, and leave a small hole on the surface to fill it with gunpowder, and then prepare a long flammable wire."
After hearing this, Lu Wu thought for a moment, not knowing what the young master meant.
But he didn't dare to think too much, and he immediately raised his hands and said, "Yes, Master! Please wait a moment, Lu Wu will do it right away."
After finishing speaking, the person who reacted quickly on the spot realized: "Is it possible that the young master wants to concentrate this gunpowder in a sealed container, and through the violent and rapid burning after ignition, it will instantly produce more powerful power?"
Jing Yu chuckled: "Yes, this is an 'explosion'. The compressed energy generated instantly is released. You must remember the word 'explosion'. Haha."
After hearing this, everyone's admiration for Ying Jingyu increased a lot. Why can Gongziyu think of anything and do everything?
If this person controls the Great Qin Empire, what else can't be done? I'm afraid it's very possible that one day he can fly into the sky and escape from the earth...
Everyone whispered excitedly, and after about a moment of touching a stick of incense, they saw a figure walking towards them from a distance.
As he got closer, he saw the man kneeling on one knee and offering two things with both hands: "Wu lived up to his orders and has made the iron tools that the young master needs."
"Please get up quickly."
Ying Jingyu couldn't wait to walk over and took the round iron tool and a lead wire. It was quite light in his hand, after all, it was empty inside.
I held the iron tool in my hand and looked at it in the sun for a while. It was a bit rough because it was made in a hurry. But it is completely sufficient.
Ying Jingyu nodded, and without saying a word, he lay down next to the gunpowder that he had just prepared but not used up. He grabbed a handful of gunpowder and slowly poured it into the small hole of the round iron tool.
Lu Wu looked shocked and said, "Sir, this thing is dangerous, I'd better let my subordinates get down."
Ying Jingyu didn't answer. He watched intently as the gunpowder was filled more than halfway. He stopped and stuffed the lead into the iron.
Then he grabbed a handful of sand from the side and poured it into the round iron container that still had room. After it was full, Ying Jingyu pinched the bottom of the 'bomb' with three fingers and turned it around twice, then shook it with some dissatisfaction.
Shake his head.
We must vigorously develop this thing in the future. If there are more powerful firearms, the nomadic people in the north and the barbarians in the south will permanently become a nation that is good at singing and dancing!
Ying Jingyu held the homemade 'bomb' he had just made and stepped back, telling everyone to stay away.
Then he took out the fire folder from his waist and blew in a small blue flame that danced softly.
Everyone was shocked: "Young Master, this thing is too dangerous. Let me wait to light it. You are too precious to use it."
However, Ying Jingyu shook his head and said with a smile: "We are all human beings. What is more valuable than gold? You are all rare talents in our great Qin. If something happens to you, I cannot afford it, sir."
After hearing this, Mo Cheng, Wang Nian, Lu Wu and others were so moved that they just wanted to cry. They never thought that as princes and princes of the Qin Dynasty, with great power, they would value so-called talents like them so much. For a moment, they even choked up.
And by doing this, Jingyu was of course sure that nothing would happen. If they were left to deal with it, they would not understand anything, and the probability of something happening would still be relatively high.
Ying Jingyu frowned, and without a moment's hesitation, he lit the long fuse but did not throw it out.
Everyone looked horrified and shouted: "Young Master, throw it away!"
"Master!"
.....
Having said that, if something happens to the young master, none of them will be able to escape, and the lives of all of them will not be enough to fill the gap.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats, but Li Nian and Sima Zhou, after panicking and blaming themselves, flew towards Ying Jingyu who was more than ten meters away.
If something happens to the young master, it would be better for the two of them to die together, and still be able to serve as guards.
When Ying Jingyu saw that the long lead had been burned to less than two fingers long, he took a deep breath and lowered his right hand
Suddenly! With a fierce throw, a projectile with sparks formed in the sky and flew thirty meters away and landed on the ground.
The timing was just right. As soon as it hit the ground, the fuse had already burned to the inside of the bomb.
"boom!......"
Although they were tens of meters apart, everyone was shaken to the ground by the loud noise they had never heard before.
It seemed that the 'Qin Ren Wufang' trembled slightly under the loud noise just now. After everyone got up, they hurriedly came to Ying Jingyu's side.
Seeing that the other party was safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Next time something like this happens again, I will have to hold him back even if I die...
Ying Jingyu looked at the explosion site that was still smoking, and said with a smile: "How is it? How powerful is the explosion?"
Lu Wu cupped his hands and said: "I didn't expect that this gunpowder could be used in this way. If such firearms are made and equipped with the Qin army, why should we fear the number of troops from the Six Kingdoms?"
Mo Cheng also sighed: "The talent of the young master is the best in history! With such a great killing weapon, it is not a bad idea to wipe out the world again."
Jingyu looked at the black smoke that was about to dissipate: "Let's go see what's left after the explosion."
When everyone arrived at the place where the explosion had just occurred, they were frightened for a moment.
I saw a shallow pit about half a meter in size left on the ground, and the remains of the round iron tool were scattered around...
Stunned and terrified!
It is so powerful that it will break iron objects into pieces when it explodes. With such lethality, it is probably difficult for nearby creatures to survive.
Ying Jingyu stood in front of the pit and stared blankly for a moment. He put his hands behind his back and said, "Lu Wu, I told the Wufang Division to establish a 'Gunpowder Division' before. Do you have any idea now?"
Lu Wu was startled, then knelt down on one knee and raised his hands and said: "Wu was still puzzled before, but after seeing it today, he has an idea in his mind. Don't worry, sir, this thing is simple to make, I will definitely improve it so that it can achieve maximum damage."
Effect."
Jing Yu nodded: "To form the Gunpowder Department, we can use the former alchemists who made alchemy. Don't neglect the alchemists. If they are willing to serve the Qin Dynasty, they will be given high salary for their descendants."
"Yes, sir!"
"In addition, the ignition fuse can be mixed with gunpowder, so that the firearm can detonate faster. This thing is called...'Thunderbolt Bomb'."
"'Thunderbolt'...here, sir!"
Ying Jingyu turned around and looked at everyone and said: "The important matter of the three divisions has been decided. Today you have also seen the many practicalities brought by 'science'. I hope that you will open the three divisions as soon as possible after you go down, and each will carry out his own responsibilities.
Let more similar practical utensils be used in the military or civilians."
The leaders of the three divisions all nodded after hearing this, and Mo Cheng said: "To see you today is an eye-opener for Mo Cheng. Don't dare to be arrogant again. From now on, the Mo family will only follow the orders of the Young Master!"
Jing Yu said: "Well, in that case. The Stone Mine Department will try its best to find the three materials for making gunpowder. I will hand over the formula and proportion of gunpowder to Lu Wu. We will transform the 'Thunderbolt' as soon as possible for mass production, and then make the gunpowder."
Good three new heavy weapons were sent to the military camp..."
Lu Wu, Wang Guan, Liu Wenmao and others knelt down on one knee: "Yes, Young Master! You will live up to your destiny!"
