There are many raw materials for modern fireworks, and the raw materials for different colors of fireworks are also different.
Generally speaking, the raw materials generally include KNO3 (potassium nitrate), KClO3 (potassium chlorate), C (carbon powder), S (sulfur powder), Sr(NO3)2] (strontium nitrate), etc.
Some of these raw materials are easy to obtain, and some are still difficult to obtain at present. Li Zexuan can only try his best to get them under the conditions that can be achieved now!
For example, potassium salt, it is certainly unrealistic to ask people to find a potassium salt mine now, but potassium salt can be obtained from some things around us!
For example, plant ash will do! Because plant ash is the ashes of burned plants, almost all mineral elements contained in plants are contained in plant ash. The most abundant element is potassium, which generally contains 6 to 12% potassium, of which more than 90% is in the form of carbonate; followed by phosphorus, which generally contains 1.5 to 3%; it also contains calcium, magnesium, silicon, sulfur and iron. , manganese, copper, zinc, boron, molybdenum and other trace elements.
In this way, Li Zexuan exhausted his brainpower and used all the available raw materials around him, and finally made the first batch of fireworks with multiple colors!
"Brother! Is this good? Can this thing really be as beautiful as a flower?"
When Lan'er saw Li Zexuan getting up, he quickly came over and said.
This girl has been circling around Li Zexuan since the morning, asking questions now and then about that, which made Li Zexuan's head get very noisy! Finally, Li Zexuan told the little girl that if there was any more noise, today's fireworks wouldn't be possible, and Lan'er calmed down.
At this moment, it was obvious that Li Zexuan was about to call it a day. How could she hold back after holding it in for so long? He immediately ran to Li Zexuan to find out what was going on!
"Haha! Of course!"
Li Zexuan clapped his hands and said confidently.
Lan'er said excitedly: "Brother, let's take a look!"
Li Zexuan said angrily: "Lan'er, it's still daytime, even if I let it go, you won't be able to see anything! Let it go at night!"
"Huh? We still have to wait until night?"
Lan'er's little face, which was very bright just now, suddenly turned cloudy and gloomy. The little girl's face really changed at the drop of a hat!
"Haha! Lan'er, don't worry! It will get dark in more than an hour, so it won't be long!"
Han Yuxi walked over and laughed softly.
"Okay then! Sister Yuxi, what delicious food should we have for dinner?"
"At night..."
Li Zexuan smiled. This little girl was very close to Han Yuxi now, and they were almost compliant. He shook his head and planned to go into the house to soak in the hot springs in the courtyard and take a rest!
It is said that when he dug a hot spring in his yard, he later had the hot spring surrounded and built a house directly on top of the hot spring, specifically for bathing in the hot spring in winter. Now that he is confined at home, it is a good time to enjoy it. !
However, after the hot spring room was built in the backyard, the space was a little tight. Li Zexuan planned to expand this courtyard after the new year. At least it would be converted into a large villa courtyard, so that even if all the family members could live in it, It won't look crowded!
"Oh! This girl Lan'er is really a little light bulb!"
Li Zexuan was soaking in the hot spring pool alone, thinking angrily.
By the way, if this girl wasn't here, wouldn't he and Han Yuxi be taking a mandarin duck bath right now?
.………………………………
Lan'er outside didn't feel any "resentment" from her brother at all. The little girl had been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally it was dark. And tonight's dinner was eaten half an hour earlier, so just after eating After dinner, Lan'er pestered Li Zexuan to set off fireworks.
Li Zexuan did not refuse this time. He walked directly towards the open area in front of the courtyard with a large plate of sixty-four fireworks.
Li Jingmo, Mrs. Li, and the three members of the Ye family were all eating here in the evening, and naturally they also came to watch the fireworks.
"Haha! I came back late last night and missed it. It's just the right time tonight! Let's see what kind of fireworks you are talking about!"
Mrs. Ye said with a smile.
Li Jingmo said helplessly: "Xuan'er is a noble prince who spends all day tinkering with useless things at home. If word spreads, others still won't laugh at him?"
Mrs. Li slapped Li Jingmo's arm and said angrily: "What's the joke? Doesn't Xuan'er want to give us as elders a lively New Year in Yunshan? Why are others laughing? And I heard that yesterday The King of Wei and the King of Han both came over to make fireworks themselves, and they can do it, so why can’t Xuan’er do it?”
Old Mrs. Ye smoothed over the situation with a smile and said: "Yuzhu is right, this is the New Year, Jingmo, don't take it seriously! No matter what outsiders say, it can't compare to a happy New Year spent together as a family!" "
"Grandma, cover your ears, brother, let's light some fireworks!"
Lan'er ignored the noise among the adults. She pulled Old Mrs. Ye's arm and said excitedly.
"Hey~! Okay, okay! Grandma, cover your ears now~!"
Mrs. Ye covered her ears and smiled kindly.
Seeing this, the other people also covered their ears.
"呲呲~!"
Li Zexuan on the other side lit the fireworks fuse with a fire stick, and then ran quickly towards this side, shouting as he ran: "Cover your ears! The fireworks are about to go off~!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a slight sonic boom, and a firework shot up into the sky with red sparks. With a loud bang, a beautiful flower bloomed in the night sky. The colors of the fireworks are colorful, including red, yellow, blue, green, purple, and pink. They look so beautiful!
"Wow~! So beautiful! Dad, Mom! Grandma! Look! These fireworks are so beautiful!"
Lan'er's eyes widened and she yelled.
Needless to say, Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Li had already looked up and saw the fireworks in the sky!
Their eyes widened one by one. Facing this most beautiful scene in the world, they had even forgotten to breathe at this moment. It was so beautiful that it was so "tragic" that it was so beautiful that it was hard to extricate yourself!
"boom!"
Before the light of the first firework dissipated, the second firework shot into the sky with another loud "bang", and a huge flower bloomed proudly, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, everything. All of them are colorful, decorating the night sky beautifully and gracefully, and shining the earth as bright as day!
"This! Are these fireworks?"
Li Jingmo opened his mouth so wide that he could fit a duck egg in, and his breathing became rapid.
What he said before about Li Zexuan not doing his job properly can no longer be said now, because the beauty and splendidness of the fireworks are far beyond the scope of his knowledge. In his opinion, such a grand scene is tantamount to a miracle. ah!
