Standing outside the viewing room, Master Zhao Ji let out a sigh of regret and glanced at his beloved disciple Gao Zhang, who was beside him with worried eyes.
"I'm fine as a teacher, but I didn't expect that gods would encounter such accidents."
"Xiao Gao, please remember to treat Peng Xianchang well."
"Master, don't worry, my disciple understands."
"Look back, when you make the mine, remember to tell me as soon as possible. I really want to see the magical methods that can help Emperor Wu to dominate the world."
"If we can really destroy the city and demolish the stronghold, just like destroying the dry and dry, then there should be hope of recovering the old northwest land in my lifetime."
Having said this, the official Zhao Ji looked at Gao Zhang again and whispered.
"Before, my teacher was still considering whether it would be better for you to be a Hanlin bachelor or a privy bachelor."
"I wonder what you think, Xiao Gao?"
Facing his master's gaze, Gao Zhang thought for a while and finally answered honestly.
"Master, if the disciple can really copy those weapons, then the disciple is willing to continue in the weapons supervision department to make more weapons for our great Song Dynasty Huben to protect our country."
"..."
Zhao Ji looked at Gao Zhang in front of him in astonishment, and in a flash, he understood his beloved disciple's intentions.
"I understand your painstaking efforts, and I am afraid that the sharp weapons you made will become useless in the end due to the mischief of those incompetent officials."
"Well, let me, my teacher, think about it carefully."
"In a moment, I will ask the Imperial City Secretary to come over and cooperate with you. Just look for them as you should."
Zhao Ji raised his hand and patted Gao Zhang's shoulder, and then walked towards the outside.
Gao Zhang silently followed the master who completely believed what he said to the door of the mansion.
After watching Master Zhao Ji get on his horse and leave, the corners of his mouth gradually raised involuntarily.
That's fine, as long as the master can recognize that this is one of Emperor Guangwu's magical methods to unify the world, and add his own operation.
I used all kinds of gunpowder weapons to push back, but I didn’t believe that Xixia could not be pushed to the ground.
#####
Gao Zhang turned around and entered the mansion. Not far away, the boy who was responsible for taking care of Taoist Peng rushed over and reported to Gao Zhang.
It was said that Daochang Peng didn't know what was going on just now. After the young master and your friends left, he seemed very excited. He kept shivering and making a sound, and he was not quiet at all.
Hearing this, Gao Zhang patted his forehead and hurried over.
I saw this typical Taoist priest Peng who was holding dumplings in a teapot and had something in his stomach that he couldn't pour out.
Gao Zhang spoke to comfort him, saying that the official position of You Dao Lu must be yours. As for the property that the emperor has given you, Gao will not touch it.
"Remember, take good care of your illness, take your blame honestly, and don't be disobedient."
"From the moment you made up your mind to enter the palace with the intention of defrauding my parents and defrauding them of property, I didn't mind your life or death."
"..." Daochang Peng, who was very excited at first, gradually calmed down.
After cheating, he came to Gao Taiwei's house, but he suffered a stroke. He was not thrown out of the house, and he was still alive to this day. Speaking of which, Gao Zhang felt that he was kind enough.
He stared blankly at this young man whom he had not seen for more than a year. When they met again, his whole person seemed to have changed, and he seemed much more decisive in killing.
After Gao Zhang said these words, he left directly, and Taoist Peng who was lying on the couch had obviously calmed down.
With a numb face, he continued to maintain his image as a severe cerebral thrombosis patient, and continued to eat and wait to die.
Less than half an hour after Master Zhao Ji left, Yang Douzhi rushed over in person to pay homage to Gao Zhang and explain his intention.
But Gao Zhang was not worried about just handing over the formula to them without giving them guidance. After all, this thing was different from making cold weapons.
If you fail to make cold weapons, you will at most injure people, but with gunpowder weapons, you will die a lot.
Leading Gao Zhang to the imperial city's courtyard outside the city, Gao Zhang began to personally select the site used to make gunpowder, as well as the process flow, as well as the rules and regulations.
Immediately afterwards, twenty clever and trustworthy subordinates were recruited from the Imperial City Division's subordinates and began to strictly follow Gao Zhang's instructions.
Processing began with the purchased raw materials.
If the explosive power of black gunpowder is one, then black gunpowder with an appropriate amount of sugar added is at least six to ten times that of black gunpowder.
Gao Zhang didn't know the specific value. After all, he didn't do anything illegal or disciplined.
But now, he needs to do research and development for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Fortunately, the formulas are all in his mind.
Moreover, it is not difficult to obtain raw materials. The Song Dynasty really had no shortage of raw materials for gunpowder.
In order to let these people understand that they are not bragging, the dangers of gunpowder are really terrible.
Gao Zhang simply asked them to make a portion of about three to five kilograms in preparation for testing.
When the completed gunpowder particles appeared in front of Gao Zhang's eyes, he finally showed a satisfied smile.
These gunpowders are in a very typical granular shape, larger than sesame seeds, and very hard. Such granular gunpowders.
It can also make the gunpowder burn more fully, and the power of the explosion makes Gao Zhang look forward to it more and more.
I found an open space outside the manor with no people around. Gao Zhang had someone dig a straight pit and dump all the bag of gunpowder into it.
Then he pulled out a priming powder, pressed a stone slab weighing about two hundred kilograms on top of the gunpowder, and raised his hand to light it.
At this moment, whether it was Yang Duzhi, Zhao Yaban, or the twenty imperial city officials, they all looked at Gao Zhang and then strode away towards the distance after lighting the fire.
"Unexpectedly, this scholar, who has always behaved calmly and calmly, could run so fast one day..."
Yang Douzhi and others watched Gao Zhang running from that side with expressions of sincerity on their faces, then walked around him and others and ran towards the rear.
"???"
Then I heard the Zhuangyuan Gong who had already run away shouted again. "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you run away quickly."
After all, Yang Duzhi and Zhao Yaban had witnessed the methods and abilities of the No. 1 Scholar.
At that moment, he turned around and ran away without hesitation. Although the imperial city detectives behind him hesitated, they still followed the footsteps.
After running twenty or thirty steps in a hurry, they heard a deafening roar blasting in their ears, which frightened the running people to the ground or rolled them to the ground. land.
Gao Zhang, who was standing in the distance, raised his head and looked at the rising mushroom cloud. He couldn't help but reveal a look of joy. He was really worthy of being the Great Ivan.
When a group of people who shook their heads frequently and picked their ears with their fingers from time to time returned to the explosive spot.
I saw the thick bluestone that had been blown aside by the explosion, and a deep conical pit that was more than one foot and nearly two feet in size.
