NCCnovel Chapter 140
Chapter 140
The war was imminent, and Lu Yao understood that if he wanted to protect Xiao Yan'er, he had to have something that could deter them, and this thing was gunpowder.
It is a very dangerous thing to refine gunpowder, and Lu Yao is also very cautious when he tries it.
The first is purification, according to the current level of science and technology, if you want to maximize the power of black powder, you must have high-purity nitrate.
When making ice last time, Lu Yao asked Yang Yanying to buy a lot of saltpeter.
However, these saltpeters bought are all soil nitrate, which has not been purified, and contains more impurities.
If used to craft black powder, it will greatly reduce its power.
Lu Yao took saltpeter and mixed it with grass and wood ash, then added water to dissolve it, and stirred it to heat.
Until the solution is completely saturated and dissolved, Lu Yao puts it aside to cool.
Because there is no precise container, Lu Yao can only follow his own feelings.
After about half an hour, white crystals began to precipitate from the dissolved liquid.
Lu Yao was overjoyed when he saw this, everyone who had taken this science class knew this thing, this thing is called fire nitrate, and the scientific name is potassium nitrate.
After getting the fire gun, Lu Yao immediately began to make the next attempt.
Add the extracted fire nitrate and charcoal sulfur together according to the proportion, and then crush them to mix them well.
A moment later, Lu Yao was sweating profusely.
Not only because the process of making gunpowder is very hard, but also because this thing is too dangerous and psychologically stressful.
After crushing all the ingredients into a fine powder, Lu Yao cracked an egg into it and let the black powder inside form particles, which could increase the power of the black powder.
After doing all this, Lu Yao encapsulated the black powder into the porcelain jar and put a lead, and a simple earth bomb appeared.
Lu Yao admired what she had made, and she was very proud in her heart.
After all, this thing is also a cross-generational invention.
It was a dangerous thing to ignite this thing, and Lu Yao didn't dare to do it alone.
So he called Wang Meng and Fan Lihua.
In the backyard of the Imperial Garden, Wang Meng and Fan Lihua looked at the porcelain jar that Lu Yao took out and looked at each other.
Lu Yao boasted while holding the porcelain jar.
"With this thing, there will be no disadvantage in the future!" After
saying that, Lu Yao placed the porcelain jar in the corner of the wall.
In order to ensure the safety of this experiment, Lu Yao specially pulled the lead of the gunpowder very long.
The inland Yao of the clearing also made a bunker, just in case.
After making all the preparations, Lu Yao wanted to ignite the fuse himself.
was stopped by Fan Lihua.
"Your Majesty, leave such a dangerous matter to the last general. "
Lu Yao, as the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, naturally can't be threatened in any way.
Fan Lihua took the torch from Lu Yao's hand, and then lit the lead.
A random jumper jumps into cover.
The bunker was more than ten meters away from the site of the explosion, and Lu Yao looked at the lead burning rapidly with a solemn expression.
Then he covered his ears with his hands.
Wang Meng and Fan Lihua on the side were unimpressed, after all, in their impression, gunpowder was just a cannon battle for the New Year's Festival, how powerful could this thing be?
However, the next moment, there was a loud bang in their ears.
The sound was like thunder on the ground, and in order to make the effect of this time more significant, Lu Yao's gunpowder was enough to fill more than two catties.
The power of such a large artillery battle can be imagined.
The guards outside the Imperial Garden were also shocked at this time, and they were about to rush into the Imperial Garden to escort them in a blink of an eye.
However, he was stopped by Li Yuanfang.
Li Yuanfang was borrowed by Lu Yao from Di Renjie as a guard, during the period when Lu Yao left the capital.
Li Yuanfang was also not idle, and selected three hundred good players from the major military camps to form a team alone, wearing flying fish suits, embroidered spring knives at the waist, and stepping on cloud boots, under the instruction of Lu Yao, the Great Zhou Jin Yiwei was officially established, and it belonged to Lu Yao alone.
And Li Yuanfang naturally became the first commander of the Great Zhou Jinyiwei.
"Your Majesty has an order! No trespass is allowed in the Imperial Garden!" The
surrounding Jinyi guards stopped when they heard this, because from the first day of the establishment of the Jinyi Guard, the first rule they learned was to obey the emperor's orders.
Li Yuanfang also looked at the Imperial Garden with a worried expression.
The loud bang just now was making Ran's heart palpitate.
The words are divided into two ends, in the Imperial Garden.
Wang Meng and Fan Lihua were dizzy by this loud noise.
They have also seen the power of the cannonball, and even if it is twice as big as this porcelain jar, it should not make such a movement.
Lu Yao, who was hiding behind the bunker, couldn't hide the joy on his face at this time, and immediately jumped out from behind the bunker.
Seeing this, Fan Lihua and Wang Meng shook their heads and hurriedly followed.
The place where the porcelain jar was placed just now had been blown black.
Originally, Lu Yao thought that this kind of power should be enough to blow up the city wall.
But when he looked excitedly towards the wall of the Imperial Garden, reality poured cold water on him.
Although the walls were pitch black, there was not a single crack in the wall.
Even the walls of the Imperial Garden can't be blown up, let alone the thick walls of Zheyang County.
As soon as she thought of this, Lu Yao couldn't help but sigh.
"Sure enough, the stories in fairy tales are all lies!" Lu
Yao squatted on the ground and scratched his head with some annoyance, according to his current knowledge, it was already the limit to increase the power of black powder to this point.
Today's power sounds loud, but at best, it can't get out of the realm of cannon warfare.
However, as a battle-hardened general, Fan Lihua is keenly aware of the difference.
I saw Fan Lihua stretch out her hand from the trunk of a willow tree and pull out a piece of porcelain that was deeply embedded in it.
Even for a person like Fan Lihua, it took a little effort when she pulled it out.
It is enough to see how deeply this porcelain piece is embedded.
Seeing Lu Yao squatting on the ground in annoyance, Fan Lihua trotted excitedly in front of Lu Yao with a porcelain piece.
As if coaxing a child, he showed the porcelain tiles to Lu Yao, and spoke.
"Your Majesty, you see, the last general will find that the location of this piece of porcelain is twenty feet from the place of the explosion, and the piece of porcelain is deeply embedded in the trunk of the tree.
Lu Yao looked at Fan Lihua a little confused when she heard this, but Wang Meng on the side suddenly woke up and immediately smiled.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Lu Yao was even more confused at this time, what else was there to congratulate after the experiment failed?
Seeing Lu
Yao's confused look, Wang Meng smiled and explained.
"Although the gunpowder improved by His Majesty is not enough to open the mountain and crack the stone, but its power cannot be underestimated, and the small porcelain piece can still be deeply embedded in the trunk of the tree, if the porcelain piece is replaced with an iron piece, the lethality will not be greater?"
Lu Yao's originally disappointed eyes suddenly ignited with pride again.
Yes, the bomb is not powerful enough, but it can be filled with something else to increase its lethality.
When the time comes, a celestial maiden will scatter flowers, and there will be almost no people or animals left within ten feet of the center of the explosion.
Lu Yao patted her thigh and woke up like a dream.
"Jing Luo is really my Bole!".
