Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 464 Gunpowder

Zhao Hanzhang attached great importance to spring plowing and repeatedly warned: "This land has been cleared for you, so you must not delay spring plowing."

Pingxun agreed and was stunned for a moment when Zhao Hanzhang mounted his horse, "Is the envoy about to leave?"

"I was passing by and stopped by to take a look. You guys should be busy."

Ping Xun could only watch them riding away with regret. He also wanted Zhao Hanzhang to visit Yushan Hall.

However, there is a long time to come. The Yushan Hall has just been built a few days ago, and the results cannot be seen at this time. When they finish the fields, build the school, and the children have achieved success in their studies, you will be able to see them when your envoy comes again. of merit.

Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan came out today to test explosives.

A group of people went into the mountain, a stone mountain. Most of the stones for building houses in Luyang City were collected from here, but it is difficult to mine now, so they changed to a different mountain.

The mountain was deserted. Zhao Hanzhang asked people to surround the mountain to prevent idlers from approaching. Then he brought Fu Tinghan over to test it.

Qiu Wu brought two wooden barrels up, put them down and saluted, "My lady, I have brought everything."

Fu Tinghan opened the lid of the barrel, and inside were bamboo sections as thick as a child's arm.

He carefully took it out and motioned to Zhao Hanzhang to look at it, "It's just filled with gunpowder. I haven't tried it. I'll take a look at the effect today and then prepare the formula."

He took out a box from the bottom of the barrel and opened it. Inside was a roll of thread.

Qiu Wu felt his fingers hurt when he saw the rolled thread. He twisted the thread using paper, not a very big strip of paper. He wrapped it with a little saltpeter powder, then rolled it up carefully and brushed it again. After the rice is soaked, it is dried.

This long roll of thread was all twisted by him. Qiu Wu didn't understand why he, the head guard, would do such a thing.

Fu Tinghan's hands were quite dexterous, and he put the thread into the bamboo joints lightly, and then twisted the bamboo joints together.

Qiu Wu counted a total of twelve bamboo knots.

Fu Tinghan looked at the mountain, finally chose the side of a big stone and put down the bamboo joint, and then began to pull the wire out.

After pulling it all the way out, he cut the thread.

Seeing that he was ready, Zhao Hanzhang ordered: "Let everyone retreat, stay away from this mountain, and squat down to watch."

Qiu Wu: "Huh?"

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at him.

Qiu Wu immediately responded: "Yes."

He immediately told the soldiers and guards to retreat.

Seeing that they all retreated to a safe area, Fu Tinghan took out the fire folder, blew it, and when the fire came out, he squatted down and lit the fuse.

The fuse made a clicking sound, and then quickly burned all the way...

Zhao Hanzhang picked up Fu Tinghan and trotted out. After running far away, he covered his ears and squatted on the ground.

Several guards of Qiu Wu saw this and touched their ears hesitantly. Hesitating between covering or not covering their ears, there was a sudden explosion and everyone's heart jumped suddenly. Qiu Wu subconsciously drew out his sword, and his heart almost jumped out. , when he raised his head, he was shocked to see the stone mountain with smoke rising into the sky in the distance.

"this……"

The guards and soldiers panicked for a moment, and then they looked at the rocky mountain with wide eyes along with Qiu Wu.

When the smoke and dust dissipated, a corner of the rocky mountain that had been difficult to mine collapsed, and the blasted stones were scattered all over the ground.

Zhao Hanzhang was very excited, so he pulled Fu Tinghan and rushed up to take a look.

Seeing that the exploded area was quite large and was filled with falling rocks, she nodded with satisfaction, "This is quite powerful. Is it because of the good formula you used, or because of the large amount used?"

Fu Tinghan also looked at the stones on the ground and felt that it was too powerful. "Try again. Try it with only six bamboo joints later."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded.

They re-selected the blasting location.

Qiu Wu couldn't calm down for a long time, let alone other guards and soldiers. This... seems a bit powerful.

Qiu Wu began to follow Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan step by step. Seeing Fu Tinghan tying the thread again, he couldn't help but lower his voice and asked, "Da... Da Langjun, did you make this thing?"

Fu Tinghan tied the thread and handed it to him, "You just saw how to light it. You can try it now."

Qiu Wu took it nervously, and Fu Tinghan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, this thing will not explode unless there is a violent collision or fire."

Qiu Wu became even more nervous.

No wonder the great man asked them to carefully escort the contents of the bucket when they went out this morning. They must be careful to escort them.

Qiu Wu carefully carried the gunpowder up the mountain, placed it on the position chosen by Fu Tinghan, and then put the thread and walked down.

Naturally, it is impossible to pull the line down the mountain. The remaining mountain road is rugged and not easy to run.

So Zhao Hanzhang didn't let Fu Tinghan come forward, and went up to light the fuse himself.

Seeing that the fuse was heating up quickly, Zhao Hanzhang turned around and jumped down the mountain with Qiu Wu. The two of them were flexible and jumped down the mountain in three or five steps. Then they ran a long way and jumped into the gully dug before.

When she and Qiu Wu fell down, there was a loud bang on the mountain. Fu Tinghan kept counting the time in his heart and raised his hands to cover her ears when she fell.

He knew that she had sensitive hearing and loud noises would be uncomfortable for them, let alone her.

Qiu Wu had always been careful to protect her. When he saw Da Langjun holding their girl in his arms and covering her ears, he frowned and leaned obediently in the ravine, waiting for the explosion to pass.

The power of the explosion this time was much smaller, but there were also a lot of rocks blown out.

Zhao Hanzhang was very satisfied with what he saw, "It seems that this formula is very successful. It is just the first trial and there is no need to modify it at all."

She asked Fu Tinghan curiously, "Do you usually study this?"

Seeing Fu Tinghan frown slightly, he asked, "What, can't you say it?"

Fu Tinghan's brows widened and he shook his head and said, "In the past, this was kept secret, and it really couldn't be said. But now it doesn't matter."

He said: "I have participated in military research before, mainly helping them calculate some parameters. Some laboratories contain early arsenal data. Because it is a confidential project, sometimes it takes several months to get out. I I was bored, so I read all the information available in the laboratory."

Those things can be regarded as historical materials, and the weapons and equipment have been improved many times, so they are only used to understand the hardships and struggles of our ancestors, and do not prevent people in the laboratory from borrowing them.

"I have a good memory, so I picked a formula from it. It was just a preliminary try. I didn't expect it to be so successful."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "After all, it is a mature formula."

Fu Tinghan nodded, this research is very labor-saving, because everything that should be available is available in this era, and it does not require a lot of effort.

Qiu Wu ran over excitedly, "Girl, Da Langjun, do you want to blow up the remaining six tubes?"

Fu Tinghan thought for a while and then said: "This one-tube, two-tube, or three-tube explosion is just a test of their power."

Qiu Wu was eager to give it a try, "Girl, this is too dangerous, let me leave the rest to my humble position to lead the way."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go, be careful."

Qiu Wu agreed excitedly.
