After dinner, a few people took a nap. As the day passed, the people below came up to report: "Your Majesty, the mud has dried."
I stood up, stretched out, and said, "Let everyone come up. The lead is halfway up the mountain, right?"
The visitor raised his hand and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
I nodded: "Send someone to light the fuse. After lighting it, run to the top of the mountain. I don't know how powerful this soil bomb is, so it's better to be careful."
The people who came quickly ran to the bottom of the valley, and soon they all reached the top of the mountain. One person lit the fuse and ran to the top of the mountain as quickly. When they were halfway there, I saw that more than half of the fuse had been burnt out.
I was shocked, why did the lead burn so fast? Before I could remind you, the lead wire had already burned onto the clay pot.
"boom!"
A loud bang resounded through the valley bottom, and with the blessing of the surrounding mountains, it resounded through the sky like a thunderous sound. Even the mountains below were shaken, and then a small mushroom cloud rose up.
The person who lit the fuse was startled, his legs went limp and he fell to the ground.
"Protect Your Majesty!" Meng He shouted and quickly blocked Li Si, Gongshu Jin and the three of us behind him.
At this moment, the craftsmen who were building the Tianzi Temple were immersed in their work. Suddenly they heard a thunder. They all looked up and saw a plume of white smoke rising from the valley bottom not far away.
"Li Da, what is that?" A citizen asked in shock to the people around him.
Li Da had already stayed where he was and murmured: "Could it be that the mountain god is angry?"
But this mountain was built manually when Shanglinyuan started to be built. Could it be that a mountain god moved in so soon? This god's movements must be too fast.
Zhou Chi, the right commander who took over from Baichong, hurriedly ran out of the official office: "What's wrong? What's the noise?"
Zhou Chi was covered in cold sweat, my dear, was the Tianzi Temple struck by lightning? But it's a sunny day and there's thunder for no reason. This is a bad omen.
When I looked up, I saw that the Tianzi Temple was safe and sound, and I saw the white smoke in the distance. I confirmed that there was no accident in the Tianzi Temple. I felt at ease and hurriedly waved to the guard: "Send someone to see what happened?"
The guard bowed and said: "Right Commander, Your Majesty went there this morning. There are forbidden troops around, so we are not allowed to go near."
When Zhou Chi heard this, he was shocked and shouted angrily: "Asshole, why didn't your Majesty come to Shanglin Garden to report to me?"
The only thing under construction in Shanglin Garden is the Tianzi Temple. Although it is a royal garden, I have never been there since I took the throne, so there are very few guards here. Apart from Zhou Chi, there is only one centurion. If something really happened to me, it would definitely affect Chiyu.
At this time, Centurion Yishan hurried over and had no time to salute. He said nervously: "Right Commander, what happened?"
Zhou Chi was angry, but the centurion belonged to the Qin army and it was not his turn to take charge. He could only snort coldly and said angrily: "You still ask me? You are the centurion of the Forbidden Garden. You don't know that your Majesty is here. ?”
Yi Shan also noticed the white smoke at this time. Isn't that where your Majesty went? His face immediately turned pale and he hurriedly said: "Excuse me, your Majesty, I originally wanted to come and report, but my subordinates said that you were drawing drawings and no one was allowed to disturb..."
After all, he is an official with four hundred stones. Although he has no affiliation, he cannot afford to offend a centurion.
Zhou Chi waved his hands impatiently and hurried up the mountain: "Okay, let's go and have a look!"
Ishan hurriedly followed.
On the mountain, I also froze on the spot, muttering to myself: "What's going on? Why is it so powerful?"
Logically speaking, powdered gunpowder is definitely not as good as granular gunpowder. When I estimated the power, I estimated it based on the powdered form. At most, it can explode. How could it explode so earth-shatteringly?
After coming back to my senses, I said, "It's okay, let's go down and have a look."
Li Si woke up when he heard what I said and quickly advised: "Your Majesty, this thing called gunpowder is so terrifying. Your Majesty must not put yourself in danger."
I raised my feet and walked towards the valley: "The explosion has been completed. What are you afraid of?"
Li Si had no choice but to wink at Meng He. Meng He naturally knew it, and quickly took a few steps to protect the three people in the center.
When they arrived at the valley, everyone broke out in cold sweat. They saw that the three-meter radius around the explosion was covered with scorched earth, with no vegetation left, and many pottery pot fragments inlaid on the trees nearby.
I nodded with satisfaction. Although the smoke was a bit louder, the power of the explosion was far beyond my imagination. But we have to figure out why it is so much more powerful than expected.
"Let's go see the other one."
Now the three of them were no longer calm. Li Si bowed and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, you must not do this. The other one hasn't exploded yet. What if it explodes..."
Gongshu Jin and Meng He also advised: "Your Majesty, think twice!"
Ignoring the dissuasion of the three people, I walked towards the mountainside: "What are you afraid of? Don't panic."
Seeing that he could no longer persuade me, Meng He walked quickly in front of me and surrounded me with his hands, regardless of the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.
Halfway up the mountain, Meng He stopped, turned around and suggested, "If your Majesty has any instructions, I can do it for you. Your Majesty must not come forward."
I thought for a moment and was a little worried that the land mine was unstable. I nodded and said, "Okay, pour out the gunpowder inside. The gunpowder you pour out will not be that powerful even if it explodes."
Meng He bowed, turned around and poured out the gunpowder from the jar.
Li Si and Gong Shujin bravely came forward with me. I reached out and picked up a handful of gunpowder and twisted it gently. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly realized: "So that's it, no wonder it's so powerful."
I turned around and smiled: "Normally speaking, granular gunpowder is more powerful than powdered gunpowder, but I have overlooked one problem, that is, this gunpowder is made on site. Saltpeter, stone flow yellow, and charcoal are mixed very well. It’s uniform, not much different from granular gunpowder.”
Gongshu Jin wiped his sweat and asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, is there any difference between granular and powdered forms?"
I briefly explained the principle: "The reason why it needs to be in granular form is because the gunpowder needs to be transported after it is made. If it is in powder form, the three ingredients will gradually stratify due to their weight due to the bumps in transportation, resulting in uneven mixing. The explosive power of the gunpowder will be reduced sharply at the least, and it will only smoke but not explode at the worst. If it is made into granules, there will be no fear that the three will delaminate."
Then I explained in detail how to make granular gunpowder, which made the three of them feel scared again. Such a dangerous and fire-prone thing actually needs to be stir-fried in an iron pot to remove the moisture. Good guy, if the temperature is slightly higher, why wouldn't it rise to the sky on the same spot...
Finally, I said with a smile: "If you are afraid of not being able to control the heat, you can dry it naturally, but it will take too long. Remember to dry it, not to dry it in the sun. It will definitely explode if you dry it in the sun..."
"Okay." I wiped my hands and said with a smile: "With this earth bomb, all the Huns and Baiyue will kneel down and sing conquest for me!"
