There is no way to explain static electricity with the ancients.
In fact, Xiao Han doesn't need to explain.
Given a fatal order, these carefully selected people will carry out the order thoroughly on their own, regardless of whether the order is right or wrong!
After changing into coarse linen clothes, Butler Lu stepped on the soft loess with his bare feet and slowly followed Xiao Da into the cave that was widened by an unknown amount.
After walking into the cave, I felt how cool it was inside!
And unlike what I imagined, it is quite dry here, and I don’t feel stuffy at all when walking inside.
The roads here are very narrow, and there are obvious marks of axe-cutting in some places. I don’t know how much effort was spent to hollow out this place.
In the Xiao family's account books, there are several huge expenditures that Butler Lu cannot interfere with, and one of them was spent here.
At first, Butler Lu thought the amount of money spent was a bit outrageous, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he realized that the money was not spent unfairly.
This cave, which was only a few meters old at first, has now been dug like a maze, with twists and turns inside and no one knows where it leads.
On the cave walls on both sides of the passage, several wooden doors will appear from time to time, and it is not known what is behind the doors.
Of course, apart from this huge amount of work, the most important things here are all kinds of mirrors and glass.
These things that are worth thousands of dollars outside are like ordinary materials here and can be seen everywhere.
"Mr. Lu, don't be surprised, because any fireworks are strictly prohibited here, so in order to get light, the shaft can only be opened from top to bottom.
These glasses are there to prevent things from falling in from the outside.
The purpose of the mirror is to reflect sunlight and illuminate the inside."
Xiao Da saw Butler Lu staring at the mirror above his head and explained with a smile.
"Use a mirror for lighting?" Butler Lu was stunned for a moment, then looked around in surprise.
He didn't feel it just now, but now he was reminded by Xiao Dayi, and he suddenly realized:
From just now until now, he hasn't seen any firelight, but here, it doesn't feel dark at all!
Seeing Butler Lu's surprised look, Xiao Da nodded and continued: "Yes, through several mirrors, the sunlight is continuously reflected, and finally the purpose of lighting is achieved. This is what the Marquis came up with!"
"Then, aren't there usually any fireworks here?"
"Well, not only are there no fireworks, even iron tools are not allowed to be brought here!
You can see that all the tools here are made of hardwood, including some guards' weapons, which are also made of hardwood!
This thing is really too dangerous, so you can never be too careful when it comes to it."
Xiao Da said it very seriously, and Butler Lu couldn't help but nod his head when he heard the words.
As the person who has followed Xiao Han for almost the longest time, Butler Lu knows very well:
My Marquis may seem to be joking around normally, but his ideas and wisdom are far beyond the reach of people like them! As long as what he says, no matter how outrageous, there will be facts in the future to prove that he is absolutely right.
!
"Mr. Lu, are you going to see the production process?" Seeing Butler Lu deep in thought, Xiao Da also fell silent. He didn't ask again until he passed a fork in the road.
Butler Lu woke up from his deep thoughts, looked around, shook his head and said, "No, I just need to take a look at what the Marquis needs."
Xiao Da nodded, and while leading Butler Lu to a fork in the road, he explained: "Okay, actually the production process of these things is not important! The most important thing now is the purification process of the materials, but this part is divided separately.
It's open, it's not here."
"Isn't this all there?" Butler Lu took a breath and asked Xiao Da in front of him: "Didn't the Marquis say at the beginning that he didn't plan to use these things? Then why do you have to make it so complicated?"
Xiao Da's figure paused for a moment in the narrow cave, and then he slowly said:
"I also asked Mr. Hou about this! Mr. Hou told me at that time, never underestimate these things. In the future battlefield, these things will definitely rule the world! Whoever masters them will master them.
The right to speak.
Now that we have taken the lead, we must keep going, preferably ahead of everyone else!
Before anyone could react, we just studied it and kept experimenting and improving it!
One day, even if the things we make are placed in front of the enemy, they will not be able to understand it, let alone imitate it!
The rules of this world are decided by us, the Tang Dynasty people!"
"We, the Tang Dynasty people, have the final say in this world?"
Butler Lu was so excited by this sentence that his eyes were a little blurry.
There is no doubt that although such words are arrogant, they can also inspire a person's pride the most!
This section of the cave is very short. Before Butler Lu could calm down from his excitement, he had already reached the door of a small stone chamber.
Following Xiao Da into the stone room, Butler Lu saw: In the center of the stone room, yellow oil paper packages the size of bricks were neatly stacked together.
There were a lot of oil-paper bags. Butler Lu made a rough estimate and found that the ones in front of him cost at least a thousand yuan. If they were placed on a carriage, it would take two carriages to pull them all away.
"These, all of them?" Stroking the oil paper bag that was almost as tall as him, Butler Lu's hands were trembling.
Xiao Da, who was standing behind Butler Lu, took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes, a total of three thousand kilograms, all of which are the best we can make now!"
"Three thousand catties, just in case..."
As someone who has experienced the power of fire and medicine, Butler Lu felt that his throat was so dry and hoarse at this moment!
He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if these things in front of him were used!
"This would be a serious sin..." After a long time, Butler Lu said in a trembling voice.
Xiao Da took a step forward and helped Butler Lu back. Looking at the fire, Yao smiled and said, "If there is really a sin, all the thousands of sins can be attributed to me."
"Child, you..." Butler Lu was startled when he heard this, and turned his head sharply to stare at Xiao Da, who still had a hint of youthfulness on his face.
However, Xiao Da shook his head slightly and whispered: "Mr. Lu, you are a scholar and have not experienced the misery of people like us!
If there really is a hell in the world, then our brothers lived in hell before we met Mr. Hou!
You may never imagine that a child who was smiling shyly yesterday would turn into a cold corpse after just one night!
You may also not imagine that children who are only a few years old have their legs and legs broken and are thrown into the streets to beg, even though they have sound hands and feet!
Don't be angry. What I said is just the most common thing! There were some things that I still don't dare to think about back then!
Fortunately, our brothers survived and were lucky enough to meet the Marquis!
You may not know that from the moment you picked up the job given by the Marquis! The lives of our brothers have already been given to the Marquis!
Therefore, no matter what is in front of us is sin or hell! We brothers will always stand in front of the Marquis!"
