Yi Xiaotian has a lot of knowledge that does not belong to this era, but this does not mean that all knowledge can be used by him.
This is a very simple truth - science and technology are based on the accumulation of basic technologies from generation to generation, and are eventually made breakthroughs or created by people.
The act of doing something overnight may be feasible in some aspects, but it is not possible in science and technology.
He believes that he does not have the ability to carry out basic science and change the entire era, so the technologies he uses or adopt are often very suitable for their own current environment.
When resources, manpower, financial resources and even social background are all taken into consideration, there are actually not as many options to choose from as imagined.
However, now that Yi Xiaotian has set a goal, he naturally has his reasons.
The most important point in making a waterproof bomb is not actually the waterproof technology of the fuse - after all, no matter how you break through the technological nodes, it is an almost impossible task to make the flame burn underwater.
So Yi Xiaotian changed his thinking perspective early - waterproof bombs, just need to provide an environment as dry as possible for the explosion of the bomb.
In this way, the direction in which their bomb technology needs to be developed now becomes increasingly clear.
How to keep an item dry, especially on rainy days -
First of all, you must give this thing a sufficiently airtight shell. This is the so-called protection from wind and rain.
Secondly, if this thing really gets damp, how to make it dry again: If the answer is not to consider the characteristics of the bomb... fire is naturally the best choice.
Compared with air drying and heat drying, heat drying is naturally easier to achieve.
Continue to explore along this path - the prototype of a design will naturally be ready to emerge.
It is something that is airtight and can generate heat inside to evaporate the water... and finally give it the characteristics of a bomb.
In fact, this has already been prototyped in later military operations, but... for the era that Yi Xiaotian lived in, it was indeed quite difficult to create such a thing.

"This... Yi Xiaotian... don't tell me that you spent so much effort just to find a stone?"
Sun Quan couldn't stand it anymore.
He was waiting expectantly for the answer that Yi Xiaotian might give, but he saw a strange-shaped stone in his hand...
The key point is that looking at Yi Xiaotian's appearance, it seems that he is still looking forward to this thing... This makes Sun Quan unbearable.
It's just that... Yi Xiaotian had known that Sun Quan would react this way, so he smiled at him and said:
"Hey! General Sun, don't underestimate this stone——"
He raised the stone, held it between his hands, looked at it carefully, and nodded and praised: The quality is really good...
"This stone is a specialty near Jiangxia. Of course, if I remember correctly, it should also be mined in Yizhou. But at this time, we can only look for it nearby, right?"
"This is the most critical raw material for me to make a waterproof bomb."
After saying that, Yi Xiaotian quickly put away the stone, turned around and said to Sun Quan:
"General Sun, didn't you say you would mobilize the army to help me collect raw materials?
Please also gather a team of about a hundred people as soon as possible and follow this person to the destination. Oh, by the way, don’t forget to bring the appropriate tools, he will tell you the specific requirements."
Yi Xiaotian pointed to the man in black on the side. The man in black nodded slightly at Sun Quan, which was regarded as saying hello to Sun Quan.
But in the end, Sun Quan still didn't know what this thing was. Seeing that Yi Xiaotian had turned around to take out various weird tools from his small box, he was about to conduct various studies on the stone... Sun Quan was clear
Clearing his throat, he deliberately raised his voice and shouted to Yi Xiaotian:
"I said...Yi Xiaotian!"
"ah?
General Sun, what else do you want?
Time is running out, so please call in the troops quickly. Aren’t you also very worried about the success or failure of our plan, so you are still here..."
"No! I mean, you haven't told me what this thing is! What's so magical about this...this stone?
You can make a bomb waterproof with just this stone?
?”
Sun Quan seemed to be bursting with curiosity, and threw out all the 100,000 reasons in his heart at once. Yi Xiaotian was so shocked that he froze on the spot.
Following Yi Xiaotian's hearty laughter, Sun Quan's face finally darkened.
Sure enough... He felt that he still hated this guy, because he always spoke in secrets. This kind of guy... Sun Quan made up his mind, no matter whether the battle was won or not, after returning to Jianye, the DPRK must issue a decree
A rule of law: No one is allowed to betray anyone when speaking in court, otherwise they will be slapped with a heavy blow...
"So that's the problem, hahaha..."
"Without further ado…"
"General Sun, you can remember that this thing, I call it phosphate rock... and what I need is the thing called phosphorus that can be extracted from it... As for its use..."
Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly, and suddenly in front of Sun Quan, he took out a rather exaggerated metal mask from the side...
He covered his face with only a slight gap exposed, acting as a window...and then...
"Everyone, be careful!"
"What?"
Before Sun Quan could figure out what Yi Xiaotian wanted to do, he saw Yi Xiaotian pull out a hammer at some point... and hit it hard on the stone he called "phosphate rock" placed on the wooden table.
A hammer...
The imaginary scene of rocks shattering did not happen, but an even more shocking scene appeared in front of Sun Quan.
Poof! Bang!
——
That afternoon, although it was still raining heavily in the camp, many people heard Sun Quan’s wail coming from Yi Xiaotian’s tent:
"Ah!! My eyes! My eyes!"
According to Sun Quan’s later recollection:
"Who would have thought that this bastard Yi Xiaotian would only protect himself? I just stared at that scene... I only saw a burst of dust dispersed, and the fire was wanton... The white light was particularly dazzling, which made me
At that time, I couldn’t open my eyes and see properly for two or three days!”
"Why?
Listening to what you just said, didn't Mr. Yi say that everyone should be careful?
Why are you still..."
"...I said it's Yi Xiaotian's problem, it's Yi Xiaotian's problem!"
——
Yi Xiaotian felt very lucky. Not only was the phosphate rock he asked Jackal Guard to go out in the rain to look for, not only it was of high quality, but the reserves were quite large, enough to support him in making a "waterproof bomb".
Of course... At this point, Yi Xiaotian felt that the name of the waterproof bomb was already a bit undeserved, so...
"Sir, do you want to rename this thing?"
"That's natural. This thing is not only filled with explosives, but also with various phosphorus powders and projectiles. It's like plump pomegranates... and it's thrown with hands, so why not call it a grenade?
!”
"Well! The name sir is really vivid and concise!"
Huang Yueying clapped her hands with admiration and praised Yi Xiaotian. Little did she know that the thing they were about to produce would bring many unknown changes to the future battlefield.
