A rocket shot out from the shore with a sound of breaking through the air, and rushed straight towards the building boat staying in the middle of the small lake.
The person who shot the arrow was a dead soldier from Longwei Mansion. However, as soon as the arrow left his hand, he had quickly put away the strong bow in his hand, quickly turned around and ran towards the east away from the small lake.
The rocket drew a scorching trail in the air and accurately hit the small flag on the top of the boat on the lake.
At this time, Wei Liao and others took the small ball of linen handed over by Tian Ren doubtfully, and then followed Hu Hai's example and stuffed it into their ears. Then they quickly picked up the monocular telescope in their hands and looked at the lake carefully.
There is no building in the center of the ship.
The small flag that was hit by the rocket ignited instantly without any accident, and burned out after a while. The building and ship were still intact, and there was no movement.
Wei Liao, Ying Teng, Dun Rui, Feng Quji, and Li You, who only had a monocular in their hands, could clearly see that a small live line on the flagpole was burning with sparks.
Although the burning speed was not very fast, Lieutenant Liao and others seemed to hear a "sizzling" sound from the flying sparks.
Could such a small spark be able to ignite the entire building?
Of course, if Wei Liao and the other five could see the actions of Tian Ren and others at this time, they probably wouldn't think so.
Thin sparks soon ignited to the bottom of the flagpole!
"boom!"
Without warning, a loud noise like the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder resounded throughout the basin.
This loud noise was like the roar of a god, making the whole earth tremble!
Of course, it can be said that Wei Liao and others with the monocular in their hands saw the clearest and most intuitive view.
Through the monocular telescope, Wei Liao and others could clearly see that when the small spark burned to the bottom of the flagpole, it suddenly burst out with unparalleled light and brightness. It stung their eyes.
In the orange-red fire with thick black smoke, the solid small ship was instantly torn into countless pieces by an inexplicable force and scattered away. The originally calm lake surface seemed to be stirred by a giant beast, and the small ship was
A giant wolf several feet high rose up from the nearby lake in the firelight, and then fell heavily from the air, blooming into countless tiny crystal water drops.
The earth is trembling, the mountains are trembling. Even the sky is trembling, as if the earth will crack at any time, the mountains will collapse at any time, and the sky will fall down.
Many people were shaken by the loud noise and their legs weakened and fell to the ground. This included five assistant ministers of the cabinet.
Because this is no longer done by humans, but by the power of gods.
Now the power of this god seems to have been controlled by His Majesty the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Who else in this world can pose a threat to the Qin Dynasty?
The monocular telescopes in the hands of Wei Liao, Ying Teng, Feng Quji, Dun Rui, and Li You had already been shocked to the ground when the building ship exploded. Their eyes were blankly looking at the deep depression.
The hole seemed to expose the dark mud at the bottom of the lake where the boat was originally parked. Watching the gradually calming lake water rush in to fill the void.
Roaring, fire, shattering, today's scene will be engraved in their hearts forever.
The building boat that originally stayed on the lake has now been broken into countless tiny fragments, scattered on the lake in Lixu with a few green smoke.
"Hahaha! Hahaha!"
After a brief period of confusion, Hu Hai suddenly burst into laughter.
gunpowder!
This is the power of gunpowder!
Although it is just black gunpowder that is not pure enough and produces thick smoke when it burns, it is indeed real gunpowder. Just this is enough, isn't it?
Yes, it is indeed gunpowder. It was indeed the gunpowder that took more than two years to be tinkered with by more than a hundred alchemists from Shangfangzhong who were captured by Longwei Mansion and Heibingtai from all over the Qin Dynasty under the orders of Hu Hai.
It was initially studied in Shangfang, but because Shangfang is too close to Xianyang City, if you want to test the power of the explosion, the loud noise will definitely panic people in Xianyang City and even Guanzhong. After all, Shangfang is nearby
There are still many families living here.
More importantly, it is not conducive to confidentiality.
Therefore, after several months of investigation, Longwei Mansion finally found such an excellent place in Liangshan Mountain.
Needless to say, the subsequent process was not to be discussed. The king of Xianyang ordered Liangshan to be sealed off, and soldiers from the Caishi Battalion guarded the key roads in Liangshan. Then the Longwei Mansion formed the last line of defense.
It can be said that Hu Hai spent a lot of money on the early birth of this gunpowder.
Regarding gunpowder, especially black gunpowder, many people in later generations actually know its basic composition, but how to mix and match the final proportions and find the various materials that configure black gunpowder are the key points.
It took nearly three years to study materials, study proportions, and study how to achieve stable and full combustion and exert its power. In the past three years, more than a hundred alchemists were burned, blinded, maimed, and even exploded by gunpowder in the experiment.
More than half of the people have died.
They are experimenting with China's artifacts with their lives.
Fortunately, until today, all the efforts and sacrifices have been worth it.
Gunpowder, stable black gunpowder finally appeared in Da Qin!
…
"Long live your majesty!"
Hu Hai's long laughter woke up all the people who were stunned by the explosion.
The emperor did not feel any surprise at this god-like power, and everyone noticed his expression, which was already expected. Obviously, the emperor had long known the power of the building ship, and had known all this for a long time.
.
Wei Liao and others did not know, but Tian Ren and the craftsmen of Shangfang, including the craftsmen and alchemists who had been isolated in this basin for two years, knew that this was the first time for the emperor to come to this place, and it was even more so.
It was the first time I saw this explosion.
With their nerves having to enjoy this explosion every time in the past few months, they still felt trembling in the face of such earth-shattering power. But the emperor had such an expression as if he had expected it, so he just
There can be an explanation.
That means the emperor knows everything, everything. Including the power of that thing!
The overwhelming shouts of Shangfang craftsmen woke up Wei Liao, Ying Teng, Feng Quji, Dun Rui, Li You and others who were in a state of unconsciousness.
The five auxiliary ministers of the cabinet lost their previous solemn appearance at this moment, and all of them collapsed on the ground with pale faces. They could barely stand up with the help of the guards of Longwei Mansion, but they could still feel their bodies shaking.
"Are you all okay, my dear friends?"
Seeing the looks of these people, Hu Hai unconsciously muttered that in order to show the power of gunpowder, Tian Ren did use a little too much gunpowder.
Indeed, when Tian Ren watched the alchemists' experiments before, he would put at most as much gunpowder as a person's head, and then use a wooden board to float on the lake for the experiment. But this time, in order to fully demonstrate the power of gunpowder in front of Hu Hai, or in other words
Showing Shangfang's achievements, at Tian Ren's request, the alchemists placed an entire cabin in the ship.
Only such a large amount of gunpowder can produce such an earth-shattering effect.
After the explosion, Tian Ren himself was frightened! He did not expect that putting so much black powder would produce such a huge power. If this scared the emperor, even if Tian Ren had a few more heads, it would not be enough to chop him off.
of.
Fortunately, the emperor seemed satisfied!
Upon hearing Hu Hai's question, Wei Liao and others prostrated themselves on the ground and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
The words of Wei Liao and the five others were a bit misleading, but they did express the truest thoughts in their hearts at the moment.
Indeed, as long as Da Qin possesses this kind of thing, even if the enemy has thousands of troops, if he only needs to perform this a few times, I am afraid that not many of them will be able to survive.
Originally, a few people were still worried about what the emperor was saying, and how he dared to boast so loudly. But at this time, it was obvious that they no longer thought so, but felt that what the emperor said seemed to be too conservative.
This kind of power is no longer something that should exist in the human world.
"This thing was developed by alchemists. It can emit fire, so let's call it gunpowder!" Hu Hai said loudly, looking back at the lake that had returned to calm.
"I obey the decree! Your Majesty is wise!"
"I'm so relieved, you guys have worked so hard! Maybe you didn't invent this gunpowder, but I want to say that no matter what, you are all heroes of our Great Qin!" Hu Hai looked at the thousands of craftsmen standing behind the fences.
Teacher, said loudly.
There are a total of four villages separated by fences in the basin. Only one of them is a test site for the alchemists, and the other three sites have other functions.
This small basin hidden deep in Liangshan can be said to include the best craftsmen in Da Qin today, including the most outstanding craftsmen of the Mohist family. Here, they are experimenting with something that can change Da Qin and change the course of the entire world.
And gunpowder is just one of them.
"Pass the message! The alchemists who participated in the development of gunpowder will all be given the title of Doctor (the fifth rank of the Great Qin Army), with a bounty of tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of pieces of silk! They will be given the position of professor of the Royal Academy and enjoy the rank of fourth-rank official in the imperial court.
The alchemist who unfortunately died will be rewarded with 10,000 silver coins, and his remains will be sent to the Great Qin Heroes Tower to be worshiped for generations to enjoy the respect of all people! The disabled alchemist will be rewarded with 5,000 silver coins! For your achievements, I will order the Royal Academy to publish them in the "Qin Code"
It is stated in detail, so that you and others will be remembered forever!"
Hu Hai was not stingy with his reward at all. Although he provided the most important part of the gunpowder, without these alchemists' day and night experiments and without their sacrifices, gunpowder might not have appeared in Daqin and in this world like this.
superior.
Gunpowder may shine brightly in Da Qin's subsequent conquests, but in Hu Hai's view today, it cannot yet be a tool for conquests, but can only exist as a stable weapon!
This is also the reason why today Hu Hai brought the five auxiliary ministers of the cabinet to this secret base that is more guarded than Xianyang Palace!
Shocked!
That’s right, it’s a shock! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
