Chapter 44: Making Gunpowder by the Fire-Ambush Method ~ Book Friends and Friends~~)
Wu Yanzong was a cheerful person, and he borrowed as soon as he said he wanted. Within a minute, a few people were already walking on the road to the warehouse.
The atmosphere was very relaxed for a moment, and Li Jun asked, "Brother Yan Zong, don't know where Ling Zun is practicing now?"
Wu Yanzong stopped and was a little surprised. Li Junxin said, "What are you looking at? To say this, I have died a lot of brain cells."
Although this Wu Youxu was a direct descendant of the Wu family, he never had an official position. The court repeatedly recruited him, and he was unwilling to take on a false position with a nominal position.
After all, he is an elder again, so it is not appropriate to call him by his name.
Calling Lingzun is already his greatest kindness.
At this time, Wu Yanzong was worried about other things.
He always felt that this so-called new thing was just the prince's excuse. His real purpose in this trip was to make him come out and become an official.
Wu Yanzong's heart that has not been in a state of turmoil for a long time is really a little throbbing.
He deliberately concealed it and said calmly: "My father is now in Zhongnan Mountain and is looking for an immortal master. He will not come back this month."
Li Jun's eyes lit up, brother, you know very well.
Since Wu Youxu will not come back this month, he can let go of his hands and feet.
At this time, several people walked to the back of the Taoist temple, an ordinary courtyard.
On the right hand side, a string of earthen walls were built, and an orange-red half-moon-shaped small door was opened in the middle.
Wu Yanzong took out a key, turned the lock core of the three-spring lock, and the door opened.
"Please, Your Highness, please."
The room was dark and there was no candlelight.
I can't smell the old moldy smell and there is not much dust. Li Jun thought that this warehouse should be open and used frequently.
There was a row of white wax at the table in front of the table, and Wu Yanzong ignited them all.
The hall suddenly became much brighter.
Adapting to the changes in light and darkness, Li Jun found that the room outside was filled with scriptures and there was no sulfur saltpeter.
Yao Kui retorted him and asked softly: "It seems that there is no!"
"Don't worry, it must be placed elsewhere."
At this time, Wu Yanzong held a candlestick and walked over to lead the way.
As he walked deeper and deeper, Li Juncai discovered that the inside of this arch was connected to the string of cottages in front.
Opening a wooden door, several people walked into a spacious house.
Here, there are many clay pots densely packed, all of which are encapsulated very strongly.
According to the raw material ratio of the earth bombs that could be made in the Tang Dynasty, Li Jun roughly estimated that the sulfur saltpeter in Qingli Temple was enough to fight three or five battles.
This is a huge treasure.
Before coming, he knew that Taoists usually need some mineral raw materials to refine elixirs.
Since Wu Yanzong is living in the Taoist temple now, he must have these things in his hands.
He came for these things, too.
However, this is a bit too much.
Originally, he wanted to borrow one or two kilograms and conduct an early experiment.
Now, when you look at it, the room is full of mineral raw materials, so why are you doing experiments? Hurry up and mass production!
Wu Yanzong unveiled the lid of a jar, and the strong and pungent smell immediately burst out.
Yao Kui covered his nose instantly, but Li Jun was not afraid and kept looking in.
"Your Highness, this is sulfur."
These sulfur has actually been ground into fine powder.
Brother Yanzong is so considerate.
He silently recalled in his heart that it took six taels to one and a half pounds of sulfur to make black gunpowder.
Nowadays, the limited materials can only be used, even if it is six taels.
Several people walked forward again and found that sulfur and saltpeter were basically arranged in a staggered manner, and the amount stored was about the same.
Seeing these things, Li Jun was so excited that he couldn't extricate himself.
As long as your experiment is successful, the Tang Dynasty can be invincible in the subsequent wars.
Both the lives and property of the soldiers and the people can be effectively protected.
Then what are you waiting for? The experiment will start today.
Tung oil, rosin, yellow wax, charcoal, wolf poison, arsenic, small oil, terrestrial terrestrial terrestrial.
He repeatedly confirmed that although the ingredients were not perfect, it was no problem to make ordinary bombs.
"Take it and go to the East and West Market to buy these things, and buy two kilograms first. It is best to buy them in different shops, so don't let people find out that they all want them all."
Yao Kui hesitated to take the note, and his heart was full of doubts.
Compared to Wu Yanzong, who was completely deceived without knowing it.
Yao Kui still knows a little about Li Jun's purpose.
I heard that using these things can make advanced weapons, the Tang army will never be bullied again in the future.
But arsenic and wolf poison are also used to make weapons?
Yao Kui really couldn't figure it out, but he still ran to complete the task.
Li Jun looked at Wu Yanzong with a gaze. This man had never spoken a word since just now.
It seems that he guessed his intention.
There are no other people here now, so why not spread it out and say it.
"Your Highness, you want to try the Fire Destroyment Method."
Tsk, this kid is a little wise.
Anyway, I have to use this place as a base in the future, and it is impossible to keep it hidden.
Li Jun simply admitted: "Brother Yan Zong is also proficient in this art?"
Wu Yanzong invited a servant in green to prepare a vegetarian meal.
Then, he personally cooked a bowl of licorice tea for Li Jun.
Li Jun was in a complicated mood when he couldn't tell whether it was water or soup.
After all, it is also someone else's wish, it is not appropriate not to drink it.
Only put it next to your mouth and sip it in small sips.
"I have seen my father use the fire silence method with his own eyes, but I haven't tried it myself."
"That's good, Brother Yan Zong can also help me." Li Jun said with a smile.
"Your Highness, do you really want to make some fun things?"
"I will tell you if it is done." Li Jun looked serious, as if he was hiding many secrets.
…………
Yao Kui rushed back from outside and saw that the two of them had enough food and drink, so he started to clean up the dishes.
I was so angry that I was almost exploding. I was busy outside for a long time and didn't know how to give me a bite.
With a bang, he lay on Hu's bed and stopped moving, claiming that he would not get up if he didn't give him food.
Seeing him acting like a scoundrel, Li Jun was also helpless. What could he do?
Who made him so mean and run to the East and West Market? He didn't even say he would come back after he was full.
He was still counting on him, bringing some special snacks back to let him taste the new ones too.
It would be nice if he didn't scold him for being unfavorable.
He was still angry.
Li Jun aimed at his big butt and kicked it.
Yao Kui was so scared that he actually jumped up from the bed.
It’s not that Li Jun kicked him in anger, but that he finally remembered his identity.
I have been too close to His Royal Highness recently, and I have forgotten the etiquette of the king and his subjects to the back of my neck.
He quickly apologized. As a time traveler, how could Li Jun be really angry? He just asked him to get up and study the method of subduing fire together.
If we talk about this method of subduing fire, it is also the masterpiece of Sun Simiao, the Emperor of Medicine of the Tang Dynasty.
According to legend, it was when Sun Simiao was exploring the medical effects of mineral elements that he conducted a successful fire-sinking experiment.
Since minerals such as sulfur saltpeter are not required to be mined and can be obtained directly from the surface.
Many natural hot springs also have a scent of sulfur.
Sun Simiao realized that minerals such as sulfur have great medicinal value.
It is flammable and difficult to preserve.
In order to fully utilize its effectiveness, it is necessary to find a proper way of preservation.
