Chapter 196 Failure is always inevitable

According to general reasoning, when the gunpowder is thrown out, it should make noise first and then smoke, which is very fast.

As a result, he performed the standard actions, tried his best, prayed devoutly, and exhausted all methods.

The gunpowder was thrown out, but there was no movement at all.

The sky was clear and clear, with white clouds. As far as the eye could see, the field was filled with dust, but not a wisp of smoke.

The gunpowder he threw was lying alone in an open space about seven or eight meters away. Shen An's eyesight was very good. From the position where it was fired, it could be seen that there was no smoke at all in the fuse area.

Finished!

The acting was bad!

This is how to do?

He slowly turned around and then remembered that Mr. Xiao and the others were still behind, eagerly waiting for him to show his face.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Xian, the grandson and grandson, all cuddled up together, covering their ears and staring with eyes open as they waited. Only when they saw Shen An turning around did they realize that the so-called experiment had failed.

"What, what's going on?"

Zuo Xiang shouted, just below his sight, the crisis between the grandfather and grandson was not over yet, the panic on their faces was not gone, but they put their hands down.

"Didn't you say there was a big noise?"

"And smoke!"

"Don't worry, let's see again." After all, he was still older. At the critical moment, Xiao Yu showed full patience and actually pulled his grandson to excuse Shen An.

The problem is, Xiao Xian can't listen at all.

"Aweng, don't stop me, I'm going to take a look."

"What are you looking at? Wait!" Xiao Yu pulled his shoulder, and Xiao Xian lightly shook him off with a smile and rushed to the front.

"Why don't you have anything?" Xiao Xian was not a patient person. He dragged Shen An and seemed to not let him go.

Shen An could only grin and giggle: "Well, experiments, there are always failures, don't worry, try it again, young man, please take a look, there are many more."

He showed all the gunpowder in his hand to Xiao Xian. Xiao Xian fiddled with it a few times and was not interested at all. He looked up and said, "Hey, isn't there another one over there?"

"no!"

"You can't go there!" Shen An dodged slightly, and Xiao Xian rushed out. What he raised his hand to grab was just a piece of his clothes.

He didn't stop him at all and ran away. Seeing the little baby getting closer and closer to the gunpowder, Shen An's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"Can't touch!"

"Get out of the way!"

He yelled urgently, and Zuo Xiang and Right behind him also sensed the danger. Although Zuo Xiang was not good at talking, he had the most developed fighting nerves. At the critical moment, he rushed out in one stride and ran ahead of Shen An.

Xiao Xian, who is only six years old, does not understand so many truths. In his eyes, the long object in front of him has the same meaning as the marbles he plays with every day, and there is nothing strange about it.

He knelt down and looked at the thing, lying there quietly. What on earth was this thing?

How can we fight?

There is also a piece of thread on the front of the long tube.

What is this?

Why is it placed here?

He had something in mind, but he couldn't stop the movement of his hand. His little hand was about to touch the barrel of gunpowder. The whistling wind behind him sounded, and a big hand stretched out and snatched him away with a sudden movement. Got up.

His small body was directly lifted off the ground. Xiao Xian was angry and turned around to curse: "Youxiang, are you crazy?" He kicked his legs in an attempt to escape from Youxiang's control. Who knew where his little arms and legs were? Opponents facing to the right cannot escape at all!

At this moment, Shen An also happened to arrive and looked at You Xiang, who was coming towards him. His angry look made him tremble three times.

"It's dangerous here, don't let Mr. Lang come here." He said politely, pursed his lips, and ignored him at all.

It doesn't matter if someone is very thick-skinned.

During the conversation, my eyes had already spotted the unexploded gunpowder. The long cotton thread was hanging there, showing no sign of being ignited.

call!

He let out a long breath,

It didn't light up at all. It was really not that simple. In vain, his anxious heart just now was about to jump out of his chest. He put the gunpowder away and thought, it was a dud.

Even in modern times, there are many steel cannonballs that are dumb or fail to explode successfully, let alone him.

Given his level of production, it's completely normal for duds to appear, as long as they don't hurt anyone.

He doesn't care about the failure of the experiment, he just cares about his own face.

Mr. Xiao was originally difficult and cunning, but when I saw that he failed in his performance, I didn't know how I laughed in my heart.

Since you were borrowing someone else's place, you couldn't be too indulgent, and you had to take care of the owner's feelings. Once he failed, he didn't rush to conduct a second experiment, but walked under the tree and explained clearly to them.

Although they may not understand it, they cannot relax in what they have to do.

"Song Guogong, this thing is the new weapon I developed. I named it bomb." After thinking about it, he still felt that this name was the best.

"Bomb... bomb... what is that?" Xiao Yu showed a confused expression, while Xiao Xian underneath, whose curiosity was not satisfied, was now staring at him with hateful eyes.

Shen An is so thick-skinned that even an iron cone can't pierce it. This is all for his own good. When the bomb goes off, he will know how powerful he is.

"It is a weapon, or a firearm. It is different from the iron weapons we usually use. It is extremely powerful, has a wide attack range, and can cause huge damage to the enemy."

"If it succeeds, it will definitely be a good choice."

"I will never treat you badly by borrowing your place. This was originally a test for His Majesty, but you can see it first. Isn't it wonderful?"

Mr. Xiao is not a fool. When faced with failure, his mind instantly became clearer.

"Of course I'm very grateful that you can show me this thing, but can it really explode?"

"What does explosion mean?" Seeing the doubt on Mr. Xiao's face, Shen An realized that in the Tang Dynasty, people didn't even know what explosion was.

If you want them to understand it deeply, you have to think of words.

"The so-called explosion," he rubbed his hands and started to get into the mood: "It is like lightning and thunder in the sky, rumbling, and occasionally flashing."

"It's such a powerful thing!" Mr. Xiao nodded vigorously, and Shen An took advantage of the situation to pursue him: "Song Guogong has seen people killed by lightning, right? Have you heard of it?"

"I've heard of it, I've heard of it!" The childish voice naturally came from Xiao Xian.

He grabbed Aweng's sleeve and said to Shen An: "Of course Aweng has heard of the things I have heard about, right, Aweng."

"Of course, of course I've heard of it. Fortunately it's a sunny day today, otherwise we wouldn't be able to stand under the tree."

"Yes, that would be very dangerous."

"Aweng taught his grandson."
