Mo Jiecheng's words made Chongzhou and Shi Heng laugh out loud.
But what Shi Heng said is right. The situation is urgent now. Even though Shi Heng's background is full of doubts, he has no bad intentions. He has been with them for so long and has the same purpose.
...At best, he just has as many ulterior secrets as himself.
Thinking of this, Ji Wanrong also knew that this was not the time to continue pursuing Shi Heng's secret, so she slowly stood up.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Since you know how to make gunpowder, your master has probably taught you how many raw materials are needed to blow up half of the mountain. As long as you tell me, I can provide it to you."
It is probably God's blessing that this mountain, which is like a devil's cave, has such a unique geographical environment. It is dry in the south and humid in the north, and all the workers have such a regular schedule.
Gunpowder cannot be ignited in the north, and the north has been deliberately reinforced in the past and will not collapse easily. As long as all the workers are introduced to the north and all the soldiers are introduced to the south, it will be a God-given opportunity.
When Shi Heng heard Ji Wanrong's words, he closed his eyes and carefully recalled the structure of the mountain he saw, and then spoke with a solemn expression.
"The raw materials for making gunpowder include sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal... But if County Master Qinghui needs to bring it in unobtrusively, he will need these things, and the amount required will be relatively large."
Looking at Shi Heng's hesitant expression, Ji Wanrong knew that he still had something to say: "You mean, you can still make gunpowder that requires a small amount but is powerful?"
Shi Heng nodded: "Yes, Liu... Master Jiuyun also taught me another method when he traveled to the south of the Yangtze River. Using some raw materials that ordinary people don't know, you can make powerful gunpowder. At that time, our chance of winning is 100%."
"Tell me, what raw materials do you need that ordinary people don't know about?"
"These things are not only difficult to find, but also troublesome to transport them in. County Master Qinghui would just like to collect some sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal."
When Ji Wanrong heard this, he blinked and waved his hand nonchalantly: "You don't have to worry, just say it. No matter what it is, I will find a way to help you make it happen."
Shi Heng knew that Ji Wanrong had never been a big talker. She was confident that she could say these words.
He actually had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't care about his secret recipe for making gunpowder. He read it directly to Ji Wanrong: "The new materials I need include picric acid, potassium chlorate, nitroglycerin..."
Shi Heng told all the raw materials according to his memory, even the ratios were clear.
Ji Wanrong listened to Shi Heng's words, and the more he listened, the more his eyes narrowed, filled with deep meaning.
She was originally curious, but she resisted hearing it, but when Shi Heng kept doing this again and again, she wanted to ask.
The former sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal mentioned by Shi Heng were the raw materials used to make gunpowder in ancient times. Ji Wanrong had thought that these were what Shi Heng needed, and the reason why he could produce something so powerful was because of his excellent mixing ratio.
The latter include picric acid, potassium chloride, and nitroglycerin, which are chemical terms. She remembered that they were mentioned in the book. These are the raw materials for gunpowder in the 21st century and are often used in military and industrial fields.
When Shi Heng reported these names, Ji Wanrong was no longer worried that the gunpowder he produced would not be able to collapse this impregnable mountain.
What's even more fortunate is that she has all these things in her space!
After Shi Heng finished speaking, Ji Wanrong summoned the things Shi Heng needed from the space and pretended to take them out of his purse.
When Shi Heng and Chongzhou saw Ji Wanrong take out what they needed from the small purse, their eyes widened at first.
But then I saw those things coming in endlessly, and my eyes almost fell to the ground.
Ji Wanrong saw their eyes widening, but she still felt guilty and explained: "These things... I said they were given to me by Master Jiuyun, do you believe it?"
Shi Heng covered his mouth and fell into speechless silence as he looked at the dazzling array of raw materials in front of him.
Looking at Shi Heng's expression, Ji Wanrong knew that he had probably never seen someone be able to conjure so many things out of thin air before.
Even the traveler who allegedly taught him how to make gunpowder probably didn't conjure so many things in front of Shi Heng.
When Ji Wanrong thought of this, he was really curious and a little tentative.
"Shi Heng, in fact, not only were these things given to me by Master Jiuyun, there was even a song that Master Jiuyun taught me to sing. I wonder if you have heard of it."
Seeing Ji Wanrong's serious look, Shi Heng put down his hand in confusion, "Would you like to sing it?"
When Ji Wanrong heard this, he looked around again, and after making sure that no one was around, he cleared his throat and sang to Shi Heng: "The vast horizon is my love, and the flowers at the foot of the rolling green mountains are in full bloom." Open~~”
Ji Wanrong remembered that Shi Heng asked for gunpowder raw materials, which is a commonly used invention in the 21st century, and this song is a song that everyone is familiar with in the 21st century.
As long as Shi Heng is a time traveler after the 21st century, he will definitely have heard this song.
But before she finished singing, the corners of their mouths twitched suddenly, and Shi Heng's already doubtful eyes became even more confused.
Mo Jiecheng lowered his hand to his forehead and covered Ji Wanrong's mouth because he couldn't bear it.
Ji Wanrong's singing stopped abruptly after being covered up by Mo Jiecheng.
She carefully observed Shi Heng's expression, but she didn't see any joy in seeing his family again on Shi Heng's expression. She thought there was something hidden behind it.
Probably Shi Heng is no longer a person after the 21st century.
Ji Wanrong sighed in his heart and could only give up.
After dispelling Ji Wanrong's doubts, everyone got back to business and started assigning tasks.
Everyone made a stipulation that after Shi Heng was responsible for making gunpowder, Ji Wanrong was responsible for the first floor, and the hidden guard Ah Yi was left in charge of the second floor.
The third floor is where human skin masks are made. No one has gone in yet, and Ji Wanrong needs to go there to understand the situation.
The fourth floor was mostly occupied by soldiers, with Chongzhou and the hidden guards Ah Er and Ah San in charge. If there were not enough manpower on the fourth floor during the collapse, the mobile Mo Jie Cheng and Ji Wan Rong would go to reinforce them.
The fifth floor is in charge of the special guard Mo Jie Cheng, while the sixth floor is in charge of Shi Heng.
After Shi Heng developed the gunpowder, it needed to be dispersed to various floors. The person in charge of each floor needed to post the gunpowder to each floor.
The gunpowder on the first layer is connected by two primers, which can explode as long as it is ignited directly.
The person in charge of each floor, in addition to being responsible for affixing gunpowder to the walls of each floor, also needs to guide people on each floor to where they need to be at the time they have agreed.
Except for the people on the first and fourth floors who need to be led to the dry south side, the remaining floors need to ensure that all workers stay in the humid north side and take protective measures to prevent accidents.
Then while they were sleeping, they lit the gunpowder directly.
