Noon the next day.
Coal Mountain.
After Zhong Bugui guided Mulan on how to practice martial arts for a while, he carried a large box to the place where he usually tests firearms and started to get busy.
About half an hour later, as the crisp sounds of several metal pieces rang out, a smile appeared on Zhong Bugui's face.
Immediately afterwards, he pressed on the box, and the figure quickly retreated and hid behind a rock.
It is easy to see from the countless holes in the rock that this rock is often used as a shelter.
Click, click, click...
As soon as Zhong Bugui hid, there were bursts of sounds of machines being activated from the box.
The box also unfolded at this time, revealing a strange structure with a similar design concept to the hundred-tube divine fire gun made by Gongshujia.
The difference is that all the muzzles of the Hundred-Tube Divine Fire Gun are facing forward, while the muzzles of this weapon are like petals, spreading out in all directions, and the muzzles are larger.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Suddenly, thirty-six fist-sized balls were shot out from the guns in all directions.
Some balls flew more than ten meters away, while others only flew a few meters away, scattered messily around the wooden box.
Bah...
Twenty-eight of the fuses of the fired balls were ignited, and white smoke continued to emit.
When the fuse burned out, the balls exploded instantly.
Boom!
Boom!
A series of deafening sounds sounded.
At the same time, the debris produced by the explosion was shot out, and each ball could cover a radius of more than ten meters.
Even if the lethality range of some spheres overlaps, the total area covered by this weapon is quite terrifying, far exceeding all weapons of this era.
After the explosion passed, Zhong Bugui walked out from behind the bunker with paper and pen.
"Weapon: Flowers bloom and bring wealth."
"Experimental result one: It is still impossible to evenly distribute the power of the machine to each seed, causing some seeds to fly very far, and some to only fly a few meters."
"Suggestion: If the power of the machine cannot be allocated, the number of gun ports can be appropriately reduced from thirty-six gun ports to thirty-two gun ports."
"Experiment Result 2: Only the fuses of twenty-eight seeds were successfully ignited, three more than last time, but this is already my limit."
"Suggestion: Ask Uncle Ghost Hands for advice if you have the opportunity. He will definitely have a way to solve this problem."
Zhong Bugui stopped writing here and nodded with satisfaction.
However……
His experimental report looked completely different to others.
"Wuqi: Draw a flower with a circle behind it."
"Circle circle 1: circles of circles circles, circles on circles circles, circles of circles flying circles, and some only fly around a few meters."
"Circle: Circle... thirty-six circles, circle, thirty-two circles."
Although Zhong Bugui has been learning Chinese characters from Tang Shubai recently, the learning time is too short. He can only write very few characters, and most of them are replaced by circles.
The 'circle' here is not a word, it is really a circle.
Moreover, even if he could write, the writing was very ugly, and it took a lot of effort to make it out.
"Brother, do you want to laugh us to death?"
At this moment, a joking voice sounded.
As the voice fell, seven figures appeared around Zhong Bugui. They were Zhao Toutou and others who came from Bashu County.
Originally, their plan was to kidnap Jiang Yifeng, but since they came to Jiujiang County, they naturally had to find Zhong Bugui first.
However, as soon as they arrived at the scene, they saw Zhong Bugui testing Huakai Fugui.
"I thought you weren't planning to come out."
Zhong Bugui's tone was calm, and he obviously knew that several people were coming.
After saying that, he looked at the two middle-aged men and saluted respectfully: "Disciple Zhong Bugui, I would like to pay my respects to Uncle Ghost Shou and Uncle Medicine Master."
"Um!"
Uncle Ghost Hand nodded expressionlessly.
"No return, tell me, uncle, what was that thing just now?"
The pharmacist uncle stepped forward and hugged Zhong Bugui, his eyes shining.
As Momen disciples, the explosion just now was art to them, and they were eager to understand what it was.
"Black powder."
Zhong Bugui paused and looked at Zhao Toutou, "This was invented by Mr. Jiang."
Zhao Toutou was shocked and asked: "Is this invented by the bad guy?"
"Um!"
As Zhong Bugui spoke, he poured out a little bit of black powder from the bamboo tube on his waist and distributed some among the seven people.
The seven people were assigned black powder and started studying it immediately.
Some put it under their noses and smelled it, and some even stretched out their tongues and licked it, trying to find out the magic of black powder.
"This smell...should be charcoal, yes, it is charcoal."
"And sulfur and saltpeter."
"Just these three things mixed together can cause so much damage?"
It would have been absolutely impossible for anyone else to analyze the composition of black gunpowder.
The key is that these seven people are all disciples of Momen. Among them, Uncle Ghost Hands is a master of mechanism skills and can easily analyze the ingredients of black gunpowder.
Zhong Bugui saw that several people didn't understand, so he told the principle of the explosion.
After listening to this, the seven people were amazed.
"Although our Momen discovered the gas very early, we were unable to use it. He actually used the gas earlier than Momen."
"Not only did he use gas, he was also able to prove that gas is divided into many types. Based on this, he is already far ahead of Momen."
"Listening to what you said, Uncle Master, I want to see him more and more. I want to ask him how he came up with the idea of inventing black powder?"
None of them expected that Momen would be completely surpassed by one person in this aspect.
"Uncle Master, want to see Young Master Jiang?"
Zhong Bugui looked at Uncle Medicine Master with curious eyes.
"Uncle Master not only wants to see the bad guy, he also plans to kidnap the bad guy."
Zhao Toutou directly told Uncle Yao Shi's true purpose.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Uncle Medicine Master glared at Chief Zhao and explained to Zhong Bugui: "Uncle Master just wanted to play a little joke with him, not really kidnapping him. After all, he helped us a lot this time."
Hearing this, Zhong Bugui suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did Mr. Jiang's method really solve the problem in Yecheng?"
"easy!"
Uncle Medicine Master nodded excitedly, his tone a little excited, "If we hadn't done it ourselves, we wouldn't have believed it was so simple. We could have solved the trouble in Yecheng, and all the people from the witch sect would have been thrown into the river."
"It seems I was right."
Zhong Bugui suddenly muttered in a low voice.
Uncle Medicine Master asked: "Did you guess anything wrong?"
"I think……"
Zhong Bugui paused here and glanced at the seven people before continuing:
"Master, hasn't he always wanted to pass on the title of tycoon to me? I want Mr. Jiang to be the tycoon of the Mo clan."
"What do you think of my idea?"
