-------------Dongfang Wuqing hadn't arrived yet, but Li Mo arrived first. He listened to Yunzheng's arrangement and originally followed the army back to Jingjiang Gushan, but he didn't go.
Not far away, he received a summons from Yunzheng, asking him to temporarily put down his work and rush to Sheyang. Yunzheng did not pretend to be mysterious, but carefully explained to him the purpose of letting him come to Sheyang, and let him first have a
Mental preparation
To say that Li Mo's knowledge of firearms is really quite high, but so far, he has not connected firearms with "guns". In his mind, firearms are very good hidden weapons, such as thunderbolts and the like.
Despite the external rumors that this is the unique skill of the Tang Clan in Sichuan, in fact, it is also Li Mo's specialty.
After meeting Yun Zheng, Yun Zheng asked Li Mo about the power of gunpowder and the current status of the development of firearms in the modern era. Although Li Mo didn't know anything about firearms (it hadn't appeared yet, and only Yun Zheng knew about it), he
Knowing a large-scale concealed firearm, he said: "Mo has a method that can make five fire divine flame bombs."
Naturally, Yun Zheng didn't know what the Five Fire God Flame Bombs were. When he asked, he learned that it was a round ball about three meters in diameter. It was probably similar to the round cannonballs of later generations. Of course, the Five Fire God Flame Bombs must be
Relying on an exposed fuse to detonate, it is relatively primitive in terms of category, but what kind of thing is not primitive when it is first invented? Yunzheng didn't mind and continued to ask about its formula and power.
Li Mo didn't seem to worry about the formula being lost or spread, and he said happily: "The formula is fourteen liang of Jinzhou sulfur, seven liang of Wohuang (also a kind of sulfur), two and a half kilograms of flame salt, and one liang of Maru.
One liang of dry lacquer, one liang of setting powder, one liang of bamboo stick, one liang of yellow pill, half a liang of yellow wax, one point of clear oil, half a liang of tung oil, one or fourteen liang of rosin, one point of thick oil. The power of ink has not been tested on people yet.
However, it is still unclear, but this formula was left by Mo's grandfather. According to the records of his ancestors, if this five-fire divine flame bomb falls into a crowd, at least thirty to fifty people can be injured or poisoned, and even lose their
The power of action”
Yunzheng was immediately overjoyed. This was a good thing. He was also a fan of the puppet army after all. When he heard about it, he knew that the so-called five-fire divine flame bomb contained sulfur, huang, flame salt, maru, and bamboo (instead of charcoal).
As the main raw materials of gunpowder, arsenic and fixed powder are the materials that produce poisonous gas after burning to poison the enemy. The last five items are materials that stick the raw materials together. This thing is not only cannonballs or bombs, but also poisonous smoke.
The effect, well, there are no restrictions on chemical weapons now. If this thing can be used on the battlefield, the effect will be really... hehe!
"Okay, okay, okay! This poison...ah, this Five Fire Divine Flame Bullet is very good!" Yun Zheng was very happy. When he just traveled through time, he never expected that the gunpowder manufacturing capacity of the Wei Dynasty in this era had reached
Having reached such a state, thinking about how he almost missed such a good weapon, Yun Zheng wanted to scold some idiot directors in later generations. Whenever he acted in a costume film, he would either use a broadsword or a spear. It seems that after our ancestors created gunpowder, they really
It's just like making firecrackers, fucking salty duck eggs!
When he was excited, Yun Zheng became greedy and asked again: "Are there any other similar things?"
Li Mo was a little surprised at Yun Zheng's excitement. In his mind, he had never thought that these "hidden weapons" were very effective. If he knew that Yun Zheng regarded these things as artifacts that could change the course of world war, he would not know what to do.
What do you think? But Yunzheng is the "boss". Since the boss asked, he naturally had to answer: "There are also two types: tribulus fire and poison smoke."
Yun Zheng was overjoyed and asked: "Really? That's great. How did you do it?"
Li Mo said: "The recipe for tribulus fire is one pound and a half of sulfur, two and a half pounds of saltpeter, five ounces of powdered charcoal (same coarse), two and a half bitumen, two and a half dry paint, one pound of bamboo, and one pound of maru. One point to one point, two and a half tung oil, two and a half small oil, two and a half wax, one point to two yellow pills, of which sulfur, flame salt, charcoal powder, bamboo root, and hemp are the main raw materials of gunpowder, dry lacquer, yellow Dan is the material for making poisonous gas, and the rest is adhesive. This is an offensive weapon with dual effects of blowing up and stabbing people. The method of making it is: first use three iron knives with six-sided sharp edges and wrap them with the aforementioned gunpowder formula. The made medicine ball is then passed through the medicine ball with a hemp rope one foot or two feet long. The outside of the medicine ball is then coated with thick paper and miscellaneous medicine (i.e. the aforementioned medicinal mud), and then eight branches with barbs are put on it. When the caltrops are inserted outside the medicine group, it is considered complete."
Looking at the delighted Yun Zheng, Li Mo suppressed his doubts and continued: "The recipe for the poison smoke is 15 taels of sulfur, 14 taels of flame salt, 5 taels of aconite, and 5 taels of banana. Five liang of wolfsbane, two and a half of tung oil, two and a half of small oil, five liang of powdered charcoal, two and a half of bitumen, two and a half of arsenic, one liang of yellow wax, one liang of bamboo rut, one liang of maru. Because of this smoke The main function of 毬 is to smoke and burn the enemy with poisonous gas. Therefore, in addition to sulfur, flame salt, and charcoal powder that can achieve explosive combustion effects, the formula is also infiltrated with a variety of toxic substances such as pod beans, wolfsbane, arsenic, etc. to achieve its effects. The production method is as follows: pound all the raw materials into a kettle, pass a hemp rope one foot and two feet long and weighing half a catty through the medicine kettle to make a string, then cut 12 liangs of very thick waste paper, 12 liangs of hemp skin, Pound two halves of asphalt, two halves of yellow chrysanthemum kudzu, one and a half yellow pills, and half of the charcoal powder. Pound them together and pass them out to the outside of the pole. The detonation of the pole can not only injure the enemy, but the smoke will poison the enemy and cause bleeding from the mouth and nose. Very vicious”
After all, he was born in Momen. Although this weapon was developed by his grandfather, he still labeled it "vicious".
Yun Zheng laughed loudly: "Okay, with these three sharp weapons, our Ying Yang Guard's combat strength will be greatly increased..."
"You all mean adults!" Li Mo suddenly interrupted Yun Zheng.
"Huh? What?" Yunzheng hasn't reacted yet
"It's not that I'm belittling myself, but I really don't see the value of these three hidden weapons. I'm so happy about these three hidden weapons. Except for the Tribulus Fiorentina, which has some lethality, the rest are all relying on Poison hurts people. Although this poison is effective, the formula is not cheap, and the opponent is not indestructible. As long as you twist a thick mattress with wet water and apply it to your mouth and nose, it will basically be fine... The last point is even more deadly. These hidden weapons are all designed to be used as hidden weapons for government agencies, which sounds like a noun, but they are intended to be used in battle formations. However, each of these items weighs six to ten kilograms, so it would be too inconvenient to use them in battle formations..."
"This general is too worried." A gentle but firm female voice suddenly sounded.
When Yun Zheng heard this, he knew it was Dongfang Wuqing who was here. With his thick skin, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. But after all, he was a tried and tested person, so the embarrassment was over in no time. He looked happy and anxious. Said: "But Miss Dongfang is here? Haha, Miss Dongfang is finally here. I have been waiting here for a long time." In order to alleviate Dongfang Wuqing's dissatisfaction, this kid even used "little brother"
Unexpectedly, Dongfang Wuqing did not accept the move and appeared calmly in front of the two of them. He bowed slightly to Yunzheng and said, "Young Commander Yun is serious. Wu Qing is not worthy of being a young commander. Young Commander, don't come here... You are all right."
?”
This is a very interesting question for Farewell to Wuyou... But Marshal Yun's face is not joking. He didn't even twitch his brows and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, your zheng is very good, very good."
Naturally, Li Mo didn't know what happened between Yun Zheng and Dongfang Wuqing, but he had an intuition that although the conversation between the two seemed ordinary, it sounded strange to him. He was also curious about what Dongfang Wuqing had just said, so he asked if he wanted to be rude.
He said: "This is Miss Dongfang? I am Li Mo, and I am referring to the young general under your command. It is a great honor to see Miss Dongfang... Miss Cai just said that I am worried, is there any evidence?"
When Dongfang Wuqing heard Li Mo talk about the business, he stopped fussing with Yun Zheng and replied: "The price of the formula and the poison are not Wu Qing's strengths, so I won't say more. But General Li said these three
This thing weighs six to ten kilograms and is inconvenient to use on the battlefield, but Wu Qing doesn't take it seriously."
Seeing Li Mo's "asking for advice" look, Dongfang Wuqing didn't show off, turned around and glanced at Yunzheng, and said: "Young Commander Yun knows that Wuqing is best at making crossbows.
, Wu Qing can tie the three gunpowder hidden weapons mentioned by General Li just now to the huge crossbow arrows, then ignite them and launch them. According to the weight mentioned by General Li, it is easy to shoot a hundred feet away.
, even if it has to be shot two hundred feet away, there is no way out. It’s just that I don’t know whether General Li’s concealed gunpowder weapon can guarantee that the fuse will not go out when it is flying in the air."
Li Mo raised his eyebrows: "There are many strange things in Mo Sect. Not to mention fuses that fly in the air and are indestructible, even fuses that are indestructible underwater, Mo can also make them!"
Dongfang Wuqing smiled and did not argue with him: "In that case, isn't the problem solved?"
Li Mo frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "Although this is feasible, I wonder if the accuracy of Miss Dongfang's bed crossbow can still be guaranteed once these things are tied to the crossbow arrows?"
Dongfang Wuqing smiled slightly: "The weight of the crossbow has increased. In addition to the impact on the range, the accuracy will only increase and will not decrease - of course, this needs to be fully debugged first."
Li Mo then smiled: "That's very good." Suddenly he seemed to remember something: "It's just that the power of this gunpowder is too small. It would be nice if it could be more powerful..."
Yun Zheng suddenly found that during the conversation between the two experts, he finally had a chance to speak. Yes, it was about the gunpowder formula. Marshal Yun Zheng finally remembered the superficial knowledge he had gained on the forum. Thank you.
Intel……
Gunpowder in ancient China was accidentally discovered by those alchemists. Needless to say, it was continuously improved by the alchemists. Around the late Tang Dynasty (the end of the ninth century), the black gunpowder invented in China officially appeared. The gunpowder invented at that time was now called
Black gunpowder; because it is brown, some people call it brown gunpowder. It is a mixture of three powders: potassium nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal. This mixture is very easy to burn and burns quite violently. This is because potassium nitrate is an oxidant and when heated
Oxygen is released, sulfur and carbon are easily oxidized. They are common reducing agents. Mix them and burn them. The oxidation-reduction reaction proceeds rapidly. During the reaction, high heat is released and a large amount of gas is produced. If the mixture is wrapped in paper, cloth, leather or stuffed in a clay pot
, in the stone holes, when it burns, the volume suddenly expands to thousands of times, and it explodes. This is the principle of black powder combustion and explosion.
In its original history, like other inventions, the invention of gunpowder also went through a long process of practice and understanding. It was gradually improved with the development of production and the progress of society.
After gunpowder was used in the military, it gradually developed and improved in manufacturing technology and performance. The five-fire divine flame bomb provided by Li Mo just now uses 40 liang of flame salt, 14 liang of sulfur, 14 liang of charcoal, and additional bamboo.
, Maru, clear oil, tung oil, sulfonate wax, dry paint, arsenic, disulfan, fixed powder, concentrated oil, etc. It can be seen that the combination ratio is nitrate 50.6%, sulfur 26.6%, charcoal 22.8%
Tribulus gunpowder uses 40 liang of flame salt, 20 liang of sulfur, and 5 liang of charcoal, plus bamboo root, maru, small oil, tung oil, asphalt, sulfur wax, dry paint, etc. The combination ratio is 50% saltpeter, sulfur
25%, charcoal 25%
To make the poison, thirty liang of flame salt, fifteen liang of sulfur, and five liang of charcoal are used for the smoke ball, plus croton, arsenic, wolfsbane, aconite, sulfur wax, bamboo root, hemp root, small oil, tung oil, asphalt, etc., etc.
The mixing ratio is 49.06% nitrate, 24.8% sulfur, and 25.6% charcoal.
Li Mo's three gunpowder formulas indicate that using saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal as basic raw materials, and mixing in some other substances, gunpowder with different properties and uses can be prepared. These three formulas were modified by Li Mo's grandfather.
It is an excellent final product and is also a sample for preparing gunpowder. The ratio of nitrate, sulfur and charcoal is gradually becoming more reasonable.
However, compared with the modern black gunpowder of later generations, there is still a certain gap in the combination rate of these three gunpowders. The standard formula of modern black gunpowder: 75% nitrate, 10% sulfur, and 15% charcoal. Because the content of the oxidant saltpeter is too low,
Insufficient oxygen supply, excessive content of low-melting combustible sulfur, and mixed with many other ingredients, its performance can only be used to set fire, disperse poison, and release smoke, and its explosive ability can only be regarded as in its infancy.
It can be seen that on the one hand, the gunpowder of the Wei Dynasty has made considerable progress, on the other hand, the formula ingredients are also very complex, and it is still a low-grade gunpowder.
In the original history, Qi Jiguang recorded the formula and manufacturing process of gunpowder in more detail in "Jixiao Xinshu Puteng Various Weapons" written in 1560 AD (the 39th year of Jiajing).
"One liang of saltpeter, one penny and four cents of sulfur, and one penny and eight cents of willow charcoal." This combination ratio is 75.75% saltpeter, 10.6% sulfur, and 13.65% charcoal. It is basically the same as the standard combination ratio of modern black gunpowder.
Yun Zheng then acted shamelessly again, brought Qi Jiguang's results, told Li Mo and Dongfang Wuqing, and immediately found the craftsmen who had been specially prepared, brought all kinds of materials, and made a large "
"Firecrackers", I demonstrated to them that this Yunzheng-style firecracker was indeed very powerful. The sound of the explosion scared everyone around. The timid servants were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, thinking that it was some kind of god.
The next world is coming
This big firecracker was detonated by Yunzheng in an inverted wooden barrel. The barrel was turned upside down to suffocate the firecracker inside. When the firecracker exploded, the barrel was blown up into pieces of wood. It was already the legendary "Chengdu"
It’s rubbish”
Li Mo was shocked: "How did they know that there is such a formula that can increase the power of gunpowder to this extent! Seriously... it's truly a miracle!"
Dongfang Wuqing was also extremely shocked. She knew that Yun Zheng was extremely skilled in martial arts and famous for his literary talents, but she never knew that he was also a master of martial arts and knew the formula of such a powerful gunpowder. Although she couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart.
But I was a little more impressed, and I vaguely felt that that incident was really just an accident...
After hearing Li Mo's praise, Yun Zheng saw Dongfang Wuqing also standing dumbfounded. He couldn't help feeling a little proud. Hehe, I have five thousand years of culture in one body, a whole thousand years more than you! These things
Although I don’t remember much, it’s probably not that difficult to scare you... He couldn’t help showing off immediately, waved his hand, and said with a heroic look: "This is nothing...Actually, with
There are many gunpowder formulas composed of the same type of raw materials of sulfur or charcoal, which can be prepared into different gunpowders. For example, realgar gas has high and flame, which can be used to prepare strong burning gunpowder; stone yellow gas is strong and fiery, and powerful gunpowder can be prepared; arsenic gas has a smelly smell.
As for poison, poisonous agents can be prepared, such as switch ash and eggplant ash, which are lightest and can easily ignite, and can be used to prepare gunpowder that is easy to ignite; fly ash and honeycomb ash are light and can be used to prepare gunpowder that is easily ignited.
Calabash ash can be used to prepare violently burning gunpowder, and Ruo leaf ash can be used to prepare explosive gunpowder... etc. I will tell you in detail when I have time in the future."
He originally wanted to show off, but he felt that he could only remember so much, so he had to brag and said that he would talk about it in the future when he had the opportunity. Unexpectedly, Li Mo and Dongfang Wuqing turned out to be science fans.
