Volume 4: The Case of Dust in the Mirror Chapter 118: Do you understand?
Soon, Duan Ming and Li Waner arrived at the entrance of the palace again. Yu Chen hurried over after hearing about it.
"Mr. Duan, Princess, what are you going to investigate today?" Yu Chen asked.
"Tiangongfang." Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "I suspect that the appearance of the blood sedan has something to do with Tiangongfang."
"Tiangongfang?" Yu Chen frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said: "It shouldn't be possible."
"What's wrong? Is there any problem in the workshop today?" Duan Ming asked doubtfully.
"It's not that there's anything wrong with it, but it's really hard to imagine that those people would be involved in such a case." Yu Chen shook his head: "Forget it, Mr. Duan, you will know after seeing it."
Then, under the leadership of Yu Chen, Duan Ming and the others soon arrived at Tiangongfang.
Tiangongfang is located in the southeast corner of the Imperial City. It is a three-story independent building. The building looks simple and unpretentious without any decoration.
If it weren't for the broken "Tiangongfang" plaque hanging at the door, Duan Ming might have thought that this place was just a ruin.
"Um, has Tiangongfang been scrapped?" Duan Ming's mouth twitched slightly.
"That's not true." Yu Chen shook his head: "Tiangongfang is full of crazy, um, craftsmen who focus on research. In their eyes, all external things are not important. What is important is its inner function.
.”
"There is no concept of enjoyment or life in their consciousness at all. There are only experiments, experiments and experiments. Your Majesty has allocated money several times to renovate it, but they have used it to buy various materials."
Speaking of this, Yu Chen's face showed a trace of bitterness: "It is precisely this kind of people who are the most difficult to deal with. They make some big noises all the time. Our people from the Imperial City Department are here, whether to arrest them or not."
no."
Then Yu Chen pointed to the three-story building in front of him: "Look at this building, this is the fifth time it has been rebuilt..."
"Ahem..." After hearing this, Duan Ming coughed twice and couldn't help but patted Yu Chen on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Bang!" As soon as Duan Ming finished speaking, he heard a muffled sound coming from Tiangongfang, and then wisps of black smoke slowly floated out from Tiangongfang.
"This is..." Duan Ming was stunned.
"Oops!" Yu Chen hurried over and pushed open the door of Tiangongfang.
"Ahem..." As the door was pushed open, figures ran out of Tiangongfang one after another.
"Damn it, failed again." A disgraced middle-aged man shouted: "Zhao Kongcheng, I am not done with you."
"Damn it, what does it have to do with me?" Another middle-aged man shouted: "You are just a waste. You can't do any experiment well. You might as well go out and throw yourself into the Imperial City River."
"Hello, hello, then why did you fail?" the gray-faced middle-aged man shouted.
"It wasn't you who caused the explosion, otherwise I would have succeeded!" Zhao Kongcheng shouted.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing, let's see what to do quickly." A young man in his twenties said, "My experiment has also been ruined."
"What on earth did you do? Is anyone injured? Do you need to call the imperial doctor?" Yu Chen said with a livid face.
"Why is it you again? Are you annoyed?" Zhao Kongcheng glanced at Yu Chen: "Why don't you hurry up and get Concubine Ming back? Why are you here with us?"
"Are any of you injured? Have you all come out?" Yu Chen took a deep breath and said.
"Oh, I'm so annoying!" The gray-faced middle-aged man yelled, holding his head: "My experiments were ruined, and you still care about whether anyone was injured? Is there something wrong with you?"
"..." Yu Chen clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and then looked at Duan Ming: "Mr. Duan, you saw..."
"Every gunpowder is mainly composed of saltpeter and sulfur, supplemented by plant ash. The nature of nitrate is to yin, and the nature of sulfur is to yang. The two divine objects of yin and yang meet in a seamless space, and when they come out, people will be stunned and their souls will be scattered. ." The expression on Duan Ming's face did not change at all, but he said calmly: "The explosion just now was loud and thick smoke was forming. So you should have mixed potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur in the experiment, and something went wrong. , so it caused an explosion."
"Who are you?" After hearing this, all these people's eyes fell on Duan Ming.
"Duan Ming, I have been ordered to investigate the bloody sedan chair case in the Imperial City." Duan Ming said solemnly.
"Forget it, I don't care who you are, how do you know that?" said the gray-faced middle-aged man.
"Mr. Duan, this is Situ, the master of Tiangongfang..." Yu Chen introduced.
However, before Chen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a middle-aged man: "Oh, can you stop talking nonsense? Tell me quickly, how do you know?"
"Not only do I know, I also know that you haven't found a suitable ratio." Duan Ming said: "That's why the thunder is loud and the raindrops are light. It just blows you up to ashes, rather than destroying your bones and ashes."
"Bah, bah, bah! What are you talking about?" Zhao Kongcheng glared at Duan Ming.
"Don't you know? The power of gunpowder!" Duan Ming said solemnly: "Real gunpowder can cut mountains and stones, change rivers' channels, break iron and break gold!"
"Commander Yu, Princess Wan'er." Having said this, Duan Ming looked at Yu Chen and Li Wan'er standing aside, and said in a deep voice: "Originally, I didn't know what the workshop was researching that day, but now I know it is like this Dangerous things, I hope Tiangongfang can be moved out of the imperial city, otherwise..."
"What's wrong? Is this thing very powerful?" Yu Chen scratched his head: "In the past, it only injured a few people at most."
"That's because they didn't find the right ratio and didn't know how to purify it." Duan Ming said solemnly: "As far as I know, if this gunpowder is studied to a certain extent, it can blow up the entire imperial city!"
"What!" Li Waner and Yu Chen's expressions suddenly changed.
Especially Li Waner, he knew that Duan Ming knew a lot of knowledge that ordinary people didn't know, so he didn't think that Duan Ming was being alarmist.
"Wait a minute, what are you talking about?" Chief Situ stared at Duan Ming.
"Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus... Do you understand these?"
"Ignition point, boiling point, melting point... do you understand?"
"Combination reaction, decomposition reaction, substitution reaction, metathesis reaction...do you understand?"
"Why does it snow? Why does snow turn into water? Where does the water go... Do you understand?"
Duan Ming talked a lot eloquently, which made everyone in the workshop in front of them stunned.
"Don't you understand? Just shut up if you don't understand! What did you say when I asked you something?" Duan Ming straightened his body, pointed at Master Situ's nose and said, "The first one is you, what is going on with the blood sedan? Do you know have no idea!"
