Unify the world in one year.
Others cannot imitate.
"Your Majesty, are you serious?"
Zhuge Liang seemed a little excited. After all, he is now over sixty years old. It would be great if he could unify the world in his lifetime. This is his long-cherished wish throughout his life.
"This is natural," Liu Chan said, then stood up.
Then he made an invitation gesture and said: "Father, please come with me."
Seeing Liu Chan's serious look, Zhuge Liang naturally believed him.
If before the Battle of Guanzhong, Liu Chan said that he could create a weapon that could unify the world in one year, he would naturally not believe it.
But after the Battle of Guanzhong, Liu Chan successively invented a series of things that could change the situation of the war, such as the three-bow crossbow, cement, stirrups, saddles, sabers, and knight's crossbows. He has to believe it now.
It is really possible for Liu Chan to invent new weapons.
Come out of Xuanshi Hall,
Liu Chan took Zhuge Liang to the Craftsmanship Department.
The Craftsmanship Department is located in the northwest corner of the front hall, in a courtyard adjacent to the harem of Weiyang Palace. This is an institution, or department, specially set up by Liu Chan.
When I was in Chengdu, there was a craftsmanship department behind the Chengdu Imperial Palace, which was responsible for developing various inventions of Liu Chan.
Now that the capital has been moved to Chang'an, this organization has naturally moved to Weiyang Palace.
After Liu Chan led Zhuge Liang into the Craftsmanship Department, he immediately asked someone to vacate a room, and at the same time asked all the craftsmen of the Craftsmanship Department to leave the Craftsmanship Department temporarily.
After the craftsmen left, Liu Chan took some refined saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal and put them on the table.
"Your Majesty, this is..." Zhuge Liang was a little confused.
He knows all these things, such as sulfur, which is a medicinal material and is sold in drug stores on the street.
There is also saltpeter. Liu Chan made saltpeter a few years ago, but in recent years Liu Chan has mainly used it to make ice.
Now there are ice-making workshops in every major prefecture and county in the Han Dynasty.
And it also added a lot of income to the court.
As for charcoal, this is very common and is available in every household.
‘What is your Majesty doing with this?’
As soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Liu Chan said with a smile: "Father, I will do an experiment for you. You will understand later."
After Liu Chan finished speaking, he took a bamboo tube with the length of ordinary chopsticks, and then put saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, and some small iron nails into the bamboo tube in proportion.
Looking at Liu Chan's operation, Zhuge Liang looked confused. He didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't understand how this thing could allow a big man to unify the world in one year.
Although he was confused, he did not disturb Liu Chan. He just watched every step of Liu Chan carefully. The last step was to seal the mouth with sand, but there was a strange thin thread left outside.
"It's done -" Liu Chan put down the bamboo tube and said to Zhuge Liang with a smile: "The next step is to witness the miracle."
Zhuge Liang was still confused, but Liu Chan smiled and said: "Father, come with me to witness the miracle."
This——
What miracle?
Zhuge Liang naturally didn't know about miracles, but Liu Chan didn't bother to explain. He preferred to speak with facts.
The yard of Jiangzuosi is not small. There is no one in the yard at this time, and the craftsmen have been kicked out of Jiangzuosi.
Liu Chan found an open space in the corner of the yard, then dug a hole, placed the bamboo tube inside, and finally backfilled it with soil, but the top of the bamboo tube was definitely exposed.
Gunpowder——
Liu Chan developed it a few years ago, but it has been in the experimental improvement stage in the past few years. He has done a lot of experiments before, but they were all gunpowder purity experiments, and they have not been tested like today.
Can it succeed?
Liu Chan is not worried about this, he just wants to see how powerful it is.
All the preparations had been done. Liu Chan looked around, then turned and said to Zhuge Liang: "Xiangfu, this thing will explode. I have put iron nails inside. Xiangfu returns to the room first to avoid accidental injury."
p>
???
Zhuge Liang asked in horror: "Your Majesty——"
"Don't worry, Xiangfu," Liu Chan helped Zhuge Liang walk to the far room, and then said with a smile: "I will light it and return to the room."
"Your Majesty, you can't," Zhuge Liang retorted: "Your Majesty, it's better for you to go back to your room first and let me serve."
Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "My father-in-law doesn't know the secret of this thing, but I am very familiar with it."
Zhuge Liang was speechless for a moment. This was the first time he had seen this thing today. Of course he didn't know the secret, so he had no choice but to go back to the room first, and then stood at the door and looked anxiously at Liu Chan who returned.
Liu Chan returned to the place where the bamboo tube was buried. He did not light the fuse immediately, but looked back at the room where Zhuge Liang was.
‘A hundred steps should be enough.’
He visually estimated that the distance between here and the room opposite was almost a hundred steps.
He has tested this gunpowder countless times. Although it has been improved countless times, it is still just black powder. He thinks that no matter how powerful it is, it will not blow up a room a hundred steps away.
However, Liu Chan was still a little nervous. After all, this was the first time he had done this kind of experiment. He had not dared to do this experiment before because he was worried that a sudden violent explosion would occur in the palace, which could easily cause panic.
But today is different, he wants to demonstrate it to Zhuge Liang.
However, there were iron nails in the bamboo tube. If you failed to run, you would be easily injured by the iron nails. This was a very critical issue, so before he clicked on the lead, he deliberately looked back at the route, waited for it to be lit, and then ran over.
One hundred steps——
If you speed up and run wildly, you should be able to get to the room before the explosion. After all, this lead is more than one meter long.
Determine the running route, then take a deep breath and prepare to start running.
Zhuge Liang, who was at the door of the room in the distance, was staring at Liu Chan anxiously. He didn't dare to make a sound at this time and prayed silently in his heart:
‘The late Emperor bless you!’
‘The late Emperor bless you!’
Just when Zhuge Liang prayed to the late emperor for protection and to keep Liu Chan from getting into trouble, Liu Chan quickly placed the torch at the end of the fuse.
Zizi——
Hearing the sizzling sound, Liu Chan immediately ran up and rushed straight to the room where Zhuge Liang was. This shocked Zhuge Liang and stunned him.
Is this thing so scary?
Although he was frightened by Liu Chan's actions, he also knew that Liu Chan was running towards him. He was currently blocking the door. In order not to block Liu Chan, he instinctively took two steps back to give Liu Chan a way to enter the house.
.
Seeing Zhuge Liang retreat, Liu Chan sighed in his heart, his father-in-law is a smart man.
At a distance of one hundred steps, Liu Chan used the strength he had in participating in the 100-meter dash in his previous life when he was at school. It took him almost ten seconds to rush to the room.
As soon as he entered the room, he dragged Zhuge Liang and ran to the back room.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhuge Liang was dragged and panicked.
But Liu Chan hurriedly said: "For safety reasons."
"???"
Zhuge Liang had a confused look on his face, thinking that it was already so far away. Is there any danger in being so far away?
Just when the two of them ran a few steps and had not reached the back room, a harsh explosion sounded in the yard. They were both stunned. Zhuge Liang almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Liu Chan
Support him in time.
