Chapter 155 Saving Tang Xixi
If there were any other methods, Lin Mu might not be able to think of it for a while, but gunpowder, the material of this "explosive", was originally invented by an alchemist in the teacher's world.
In fact, on the Lingwu Continent, there were alchemists who had already created gunpowder.
However, the Lingwu Continent values martial arts, and people simply look down upon the power of gunpowder, and have never thought of studying it in depth.
The teacher's world was different. Most human beings were mortals. They respected technology and were accustomed to relying on and developing external forces. Therefore, the use of gunpowder was developed to the extreme in that world.
Gunpowder itself is not very powerful and can only be used as fireworks.
But if the gunpowder formula is appropriately modified and compressed into a container with a limited volume, the power of the explosion will be beyond imagination.
The last time the Qiao family came to Xichuan City, it was beyond his expectation. He was caught off guard and had no time to prepare.
Otherwise, he might have arranged explosives by then.
Immediately, Lin Mu returned to the Wind Chime Medicine Pavilion.
"Xiaowan, prepare enough iron sheets for me and bring them to the alchemy room tomorrow."
After leaving the matter of preparing the iron sheets to Lin Xiaowan, Lin Mu went directly into the alchemy room.
In the alchemy room, there is no shortage of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal, and there is even ready-made gunpowder.
However, the ratio of gunpowder, sulfur and saltpeter was mostly one to one, which was not powerful enough. Lin Mu needed to reconfigure it.
Lin Mu didn't know how lethal gunpowder was to warriors, so he could only try his best to refine it, and only as much as he could refine.
Two days later, in the alchemy room, Lin Mu wiped his sweat and lay tiredly on the chair next to him.
Although his body was exhausted, his spirit was very good.
In front of him, a black powder had accumulated into a hill.
These black powders were the gunpowder he made. The ratio of sulfur and saltpeter was one to three.
In the teacher's memory, this ratio is close to the recent ratio.
After lying down for only a while, Lin Mu quickly stood up again.
In two days, he must hurry up and turn the gunpowder into explosives.
Lin Mu's eyes lit up when he opened the door of the alchemy room. There were piles of iron sheets of various colors outside.
After quickly selecting some of the best quality, Lin Mu returned to the alchemy room again.
Wrap the gunpowder in iron sheets, then compress it tightly and seal it.
Ten oval-shaped bombs, two meters long, were quickly arranged neatly in front of Lin Mu.
"Master, what are these iron eggs used for?"
When Lin Mu opened the door earlier, Lin Xiaowan noticed it. Now he was standing at the door, looking at the ten "big iron eggs" curiously.
Lin Mu smiled heartily: "This thing is called a bomb. You will know its specific effects after tomorrow."
After that, he waved his hand and put all ten bombs into the space ring.
It was obviously inappropriate to plant bombs during the day. Lin Mu thought about it and decided to go find Tang Xixi.
"Xiaowan, do you know where Tang Xixi is?"
After coming back this time, he hadn't asked Tang Xixi yet, so he could only ask Lin Xiaowan.
Tang Xixi is someone he trusts more. It was Tang Xixi who introduced Lin Xiaowan to be the shopkeeper of Fengchi Medicine Pavilion.
Moreover, Tang Xixi has business talent, which is related to his other plan.
"She is in the Xishuiwan Villa."
Lin Xiaowan and Tang Xixi were in constant contact with each other, so they knew this quite well.
Xishuiwan, located in the south of Xichuan City, is a famous luxury villa area in the city.
Tang Xixi's courtyard covers an area of more than 500 square meters and is very simply decorated.
For Tang Xixi, Lin Mu did not need to hide his identity. He directly returned to his true colors outside the courtyard.
When he entered the main pavilion of the courtyard, Tang Xixi was standing on a ladder next to a bookshelf, tiptoeing, as if he wanted to pick up some book.
"Eh? Brother Demon King?"
Her eyes were very sharp, and she noticed it as soon as Lin Mu came in.
Lin Mu walked in, and when he heard this, he wondered: "What is Brother Demon King?"
Tang Xixi rolled her eyes: "I am a genius, known as the Little Witch. You and I are both shareholders of Fengchi Medicine Pavilion, so of course we have to choose a more prestigious name. I think Brother Demon King is the most suitable."
"Really?"
Lin Mu looked at her questioningly.
"certainly."
Tang Xixi smiled and said meaningfully in a flash, "Brother Demon King, I heard before that demon kings are multi-faceted and have many different incarnations. Do you find it interesting?"
Lin Mu suddenly felt like he was sweating. He quickly looked at himself to make sure that he had indeed changed his clothes, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Even so, he didn't dare to accompany the little witch to continue talking about this topic, so he changed his mind and said, "What are you doing up there?"
"Get the book."
Tang Xixi continued to explore it with her little hands.
"Shall I get it for you?"
Lin Mu asked.
"No, I've found it."
Tang Xixi wiped the sweat on her forehead and took a long breath, "I'm exhausted. It's so heavy."
“How heavy can a book weigh?”
Lin Mu sat down on the chair next to him. Seeing that tea was brewed on the table, he made himself a cup of tea.
"The book is not heavy, but my breasts are."
Tang Xixi looked down at her chest and sighed.
"puff."
The tea that Lin Mu just drank spurted out on the spot.
"Giggle."
Tang Xixi happily jumped down from the ladder, holding the book and walking towards Lin Mu.
However, there were two fixed ladders between her and Lin Mu, with only a small aisle in between.
Just when Lin Mu thought Tang Xixi was going to come in a circle, he didn't expect that she would turn sideways and try to get directly through the two ladder aisles.
"You are still really lazy and don't want to go around in circles."
Lin Mu shook his head.
"I used to walk here all the time. It saves trouble."
Tang Xixi said disapprovingly.
Before she finished speaking, she frowned. Why did she feel so crowded? Could it be that the bookshelf aisle had become smaller?
It makes no sense, these bookshelves are fixed and cannot move.
Thinking about it, Tang Xixi worked harder and harder, and finally got half of her body into the bookshelf aisle.
But when she wanted to get out, sweat poured down her face.
Her chest hurt so much that Tang Xixi became anxious. She found that her chest was stuck by the ladder.
"Oh, it hurts so much."
Tang Xixi tried her best to get out, but her body was still stuck tightly, and her chest felt swollen and painful.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Mu looked at her puzzled.
"I can't get through."
Tang Xixi said with a bitter face.
"Then you'd better go back and come around."
Lin Mu didn't think much and continued drinking tea.
"It can only be this way."
Tang Xixi sighed helplessly, moved his body, and wanted to retreat.
But soon, she knew that this idea was too naive.
She squeezed in very hard. It was easy for people to use force when they were outside. But now she was stuck in the middle and couldn't use any force. She couldn't get out even if she wanted to.
"Brother Demon King, help me."
Tang Xixi was anxious and waved to Lin Mu quickly.
She felt that her breasts were so swollen and painful that they were stuck, and she was really afraid that they would burst.
"Don't move around yet, I'll take a look."
Lin Mu also noticed something was wrong and quickly took a few steps closer.
