It turned out that since Su Hao explained the method of preparing nitroglycerin to Chen Guanyu, Chen Guanyu moved the laboratory to this corner of the barracks and started experiments.
Needless to say, all the hardships involved in the experiment. Thanks to the technical route provided by Su Hao as a guide, Chen Guanyu quickly produced a small bottle of nitroglycerin. He remembered that Su Hao had warned him that nitroglycerin was highly explosive.
, and it is extremely powerful, so we were careful throughout the entire experiment and did not make any mistakes.
After the nitroglycerin was prepared, Chen Guanyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He placed the prepared nitroglycerin on the experimental table, locked the door of the wooden shed, and went to sleep.
This morning, he woke up and returned to the wooden shed, ready to continue working. As soon as he opened the door, he found a wild cat crawling on his experimental table, touching here and there. Hearing the sound of the door opening, that
The cat was frightened and jumped out, kicking down the porcelain bottle containing nitroglycerin.
Chen Guanyu's magic skills were revealed at that moment. He rolled back without hesitation and fell to the ground. Then he heard an earth-shattering loud noise from behind him, and then various debris flew.
It flew all over the sky, and then fell on him. Some of the fragments were still covered with flames, which set his hair on fire.
"It's just a little short of it, and I will become an immortal." Chen Guanyu said to Su Hao with lingering fear.
"I blame me for not explaining clearly that these chemicals should be fixed and not allowed to be knocked over by cats and mice." Su Hao said, hearing what Chen Guanyu said made him feel scared.
Deng Kui interjected from the side: "Why, just such a small bottle of stuff made such a big noise? I thought Director Chen had stored 200 kilograms of gunpowder in the shed."
Su Hao said: "The power of nitroglycerin is indeed several times more powerful than the black powder used in the army."
Hao Tong's eyes lit up and he said: "So, if this thing is used in front of the two armies' formations, or used to attack the city, wouldn't it be invincible?"
Su Hao said: "I asked Lao Chen to prepare this thing because I also wanted to use it in the army. This time I was in danger in Luoshan because I lacked some sharp weapons. If this kind of gun can be made into a grenade, it can be used to deal with ordinary bandits.
, throwing three or two of them is enough to drive them away."
Chen Guanyu shook his head and said: "Master Su, this thing is too easy to explode. I remember that the bottle didn't fall to the ground, but it was poured on the table. A few drops of water flowed to the ground, and it exploded. If you use this
If you use materials to make grenades, they are afraid that they will explode if you shake them in your hands. How can they be used on the battlefield?"
Su Hao said: "This is not difficult. Liquid nitroglycerin is extremely unstable and will explode when touched. However, if you mix this substance with sawdust, it will be fine. This is called yellow **. This kind of nitroglycerine will not be affected by ordinary bumps.
It doesn’t matter, it must be ignited by fire before it explodes. Old Chen, do you have the courage to continue the experiment?"
Chen Guanyu looked troubled and hesitated: "Master Su, I don't lack this courage. I will work for Master Su even if I die. However, the original purpose of making this thing is to complete Master Su's mission."
Please tell me, I didn’t know that this thing was used on the battlefield. This soldier is unlucky. The old Taoist is a cultivator. I’m afraid that the Heavenly Lord will blame me for creating this killing thing.”
Looking at Chen Guanyu's fake and noble face, Su Hao smiled. He knew that Chen Guanyu was actually frightened because of the explosion. The so-called cultivation and so on were just excuses. He smiled and said:
"Old Chen, don't you know the principle of fighting wars with war? I am a peace-loving Ming Dynasty, but the mischievous people around me mistook my Ming Dynasty's generosity as weakness, so they frequently started wars. You created this
This thing can deter these little bastards, and can actually stop wars. By the way, I am also thinking about setting up an award with the proceeds from making this thing in the future to reward those who have contributed to world peace. The name is, it’s called
The Chen Guanyu Peace Prize is ready."
Chen Guanyu smiled bitterly and said: "Master Su, you are scolding me, the old master, for using the money earned from making guns to get a peace prize. Isn't this a son of a bitch setting up an archway? Master Su, old master, I am in shock now, even if I want to do that or something
You bastard, you have to wait for the old master to do some tricks and bring back the scattered souls."
Seeing Chen Guanyu pushing three and four, Su Hao also felt that he was a bit pushy. This time Chen Guanyu did not die, it was all because of good luck. It was too unreasonable for him to force him to experiment with pornography at this time.
It makes sense. He looked up at the people around him and saw a student who was an instructor in the army smiling at him.
"Brother Songsheng, what's your advice?" Su Hao asked the student with his hands in hand.
This student's name was Luo Yuqing, also known as Songsheng, and he was one of the students that Su Hao tricked out of the academy. After hearing Su Hao's question, Luo Yuqing stepped forward and replied: "Brother Gai,
If I don’t think my talent is dull, I would be willing to trial-produce this yellow ** for my older brother.”
Without waiting for Su Hao to say anything, Chen Guanyu jumped up quickly, pulled Luo Yuqing's clothes, and solemnly recommended to Su Hao: "Yes, yes, Master Su, I forgot to tell you, this Luo Xiucai
But a master of alchemy knows that Luo Xiucai helped me a lot when I prepared this nitroglycerin. It was Luo Xiucai who came up with this method of refining glycerin."
Luo Yuqing said: "Actually, I only have some experience in this because of some crafts inherited from my family."
"Oh, what does Brother Songsheng's family do?" Su Hao asked curiously.
Luo Yuqing said: "My little brother owns a dyeing workshop at home. The blending of dyes is very particular. It is somewhat similar to Taoist Master Chen's alchemy. I saw that the nitroglycerin prepared by Taoist Chen was so wonderful that I couldn't help but feel itchy. I can't bear to change it.
Are you willing to send your younger brother to do follow-up experiments?"
"That's what I wish for." Su Hao replied. He asked Chen Guanyu to prepare nitroglycerin out of helplessness. Since Luo Yuqing was interested in this, of course he was happy to follow suit. He had had many contacts with Luo Yuqing before.
Knowing that he has always been meticulous in his work, it seems that he was trained by mixing dyes at home. This is exactly the quality requirement of an excellent chemical laboratory technician.
In addition, Luo Yuqing's cultural level is much higher than that of Chen Guanyu. Some chemical principles that Su Hao cannot understand to Chen Guanyu may be explained to Luo Yuqing.
"Brother Songsheng, you have also seen the power of nitroglycerin. When doing experiments, you must be careful to avoid making big mistakes. As for the method of preparing yellow ** with nitroglycerin, I will write to you in detail later.
, you mainly need to try the proportions of various raw materials to find the best ratio." Su Hao said.
"Brother Gai, don't worry, I will definitely not disgrace my mission." Luo Yuqing replied with a happy face. It seems that he really likes this job, just like Ma Yu likes to build dams. He even ignores important matters such as the imperial examination.
.
After understanding the cause and effect of the explosion, Su Hao comforted Chen Guanyu a few more words, and then sent soldiers to send Chen Guanyu back to Qingduguan to rest. Before leaving, Su Hao also wrote a note and gave it to Chen Guanyu.
Fish, let Chen Guanyu use this note to withdraw 100 taels of silver from Su's Trading Company as a reward for his trial production of nitroglycerine. Seeing this note, Chen Guanyu's three souls and six souls who were said to have been scared away by the thunder all came back.
, and brilliant flowers bloomed on his face.
After seeing off Chen Guanyu, Su Hao, Hao Tong, and Deng Kui returned to Baihu Yamen. As soon as they entered the door, Hao Tong asked anxiously: "Master Su, is this pornographic woman you mentioned really worthy of her?
?”
Su Hao said: "Why don't you believe this? Haven't you already seen the power of nitroglycerin?"
"It is indeed amazingly powerful." Hao Tong said with emotion, "This morning, I stood in front of the pit and kept thinking, if this explosion fell in the enemy camp, would it be okay?"
"Now do you believe in the benefits of firearms?" Su Hao asked. Six months ago, when Su Hao first met Tu Wenhuan, he had a debate with Hao Tong about firearms at a dinner party at Tu's family. At that time, Hao Tong was concerned about the role of firearms.
It's very disdainful. Now it's time for Su Hao to regain his position.
"I believe it, I believe it." Hao Tong said without concealment, "Su Baihu has seen many people, and his subordinates have already admired Su Baihu to the point of admiration."
Deng Kui said sourly from the side: "After seeing this explosion of glycerin, I think it is no longer necessary for us soldiers to practice martial arts. No matter how good your martial arts are, a weak scholar will throw a piece of glycerin over and you won't be blown up."
Turned into scum."
Su Hao laughed and said: "Old Deng's words are wrong. Firearms and martial arts have their own strengths and weaknesses, how can we ignore the same? With our current capabilities, even if we develop yellow weapons, it is impossible to mass-produce them. The two armies are
Before that, we mainly had to rely on soldiers to charge and kill."
"Well, I think it's really troublesome for Daochang Chen to be with you. If you want to make thousands of grenades, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult." Hao Tong said.
Su Hao said: "Problems related to the production process are the next step to consider. I know a process for producing green vitriol oil by the cylinder tower method. I will discuss it with Uncle Hao later to see if he can make this equipment.
Come out. If it can be produced, then the production of green vitriol oil can be greatly increased."
Hao Tong said: "Speaking of my uncle, I remembered it. My uncle came to the barracks to find you the day before yesterday and said that the flintlock gun you asked him to make was already in shape. I wanted to see it, but he refused to do so, saying that it was not done before.
He cannot let others see it without your permission."
"Haha, it's really interesting that Uncle Hao even hid his own nephew." Su Hao said with a smile, "I have to go to the county office first and explain what's going on here to Magistrate Han, and then go to Uncle Hao
Go there. Don't worry, if the trial production of flintlock muskets is successful, I will definitely ask Uncle Hao to make a few more and let you take them back to Deputy Commander Deng."
"If this flintlock gun and yellow gun can be made, it will be so fun for our army to fight against those Burmese barbarians." Deng Kui grinned and said with a smile. (To be continued. Please search
