As the night grew darker, Zhang Hao was finally kicked out by Zhou Xueyao, but Zhang Hao was smiling.
After Zhou Xueyao's explanation, Zhang Hao felt that the gray-white powder in his hand was the famous mercury fulminate! This was something that Zhou Xueyao combined with alchemy methods to create.
It must be said that Zhou Xueyao has indeed accumulated a lot of experience and knowledge in the past exploration of minerals. Now after systematic thinking, Zhou Xueyao has completely stepped into the ranks of 'chemistry masters'.
In the past, cinnabar was a common material in alchemy, and cinnabar is mercury sulfide, so Zhou Xueyao synthesized mercury fulminate, which was lucky, but it was also the result of accumulation!
Zhang Hao took away all the production steps, etc., and was accompanied by Wang Xuefeng. Wang Xuefeng was in the same batch as Huang Mingshan, and was later transferred to Zhou Xueyao by Zhang Hao to assist Zhou Xueyao in his chemical research.
Now Zhou Xueyao has two items that need to be mass-produced, one is mercury fulminate and the other is glass!
After Zhou Xueyao's continuous improvement, today's glass is transparent and pure. Zhou Xueyao cleverly used new chemical knowledge, plus a certain amount of alchemy knowledge, to remove impurities in the glass. What is commendable is that this method is simple and effective, and can completely realize the glass
mass production!
However, mass production of glass requires certain production process research. Flat glass, utensils, and even lenses, etc. all require further research.
Although glass is just a transparent and seemingly ordinary material, its use in industry and its role in scientific development are irreplaceable. If nothing else, the telescope is the best example! Chemistry and
Utensils in the pharmaceutical industry, etc., are also irreplaceable.
Mercury fulminate is quite simple, as long as the powder is produced.
The emergence of mercury fulminate has allowed artillery to be further simplified. Nowadays, simple springs have been produced. It may not be perfect, but with the excellent performance of 'Spiritual Steel' itself, the spring is still competent enough. At least, it is exciting enough.
Thunder mercury!
And with mercury fulminate, guns also need to be put on the agenda!
Zhang Hao arranged overnight that the mercury fulminate would continue to be in charge of Wang Xuefeng and the explosive production base, while the glass needed to find a new person in charge. After searching around, Zhang Hao had to ask his mother to take charge.
Glass may seem simple, but it is very critical. In future scientific research, the effect of this simple 'mundane object' will not be weaker than those of top spiritual materials. And the mass production of glass requires carefulness and in-depth study.
Research shows that women have an advantage in this regard.
Zhang Hao's mother happily accepted this matter.
Zhang Hao was so busy that he didn't realize it was already dawn. There were so many things to do that Zhang Hao didn't even have time to practice. Looking at the sunrise in the east, Zhang Hao sighed, "I hope I'm done with things this time and can rest."
Down."
But Zhang Hao couldn't seem to get any rest. Just this time, another news came. It was the news of Ye Yue Tower's investigation, and Bai Ye personally delivered it.
"Junior brother, do you still remember Wang Ruiyang, the owner of Lingwei Trading Company in the Kingdom of Canglan?"
"Of course I remember! I went to Langya Country to negotiate in the first place, thanks to Wang Ruiyang. And in the past few decades, this guy has been selling adulterated black iron for alchemy at high prices. The entire Qixia Kingdom knows this guy!"
A little anger appeared on Bai Ye's fat face, "Just remember, this guy did something recently! We delivered a spiritual stone-driven turbine and a steam turbine to him a few days ago according to the agreement, and he changed hands.
The steam turbine was sold to the military of the Country of Canglan, and the turbine driven by the spirit stone was sold to... Xiaoyao Sect!
According to the information we investigated, it was Taoist Master Guanyun of the Xiaoyao Sect who directly approached Wang Ruiyang."
"Oh..." Zhang Hao nodded, "Then what?"
"Then? What else!" Bai Ye was a little angry, "This guy sold the steam turbine to Xiaoyao Sect!"
Zhang Hao smiled and shook his head, "Brother, we are in business, and we must do things according to the terms. At that time, we pre-sold six steam turbines to Wang Ruiyang, but we did not explain in advance how he would use them. The steam turbines were given to him, and it was his right to use them however he wanted.
.
In business, what he did was not wrong.
In fact, the one who is really angry should not be us, but the country of Canglan. Senior brother, you should sell this news to the country of Canglan."
Bai Ye looked at Zhang Hao dumbfounded, "Junior brother! Junior brother! Junior brother! Xiaoyao Sect has obtained the steam turbine and will be able to copy it soon! You are not worried at all!"
"Yes, senior brother, I'm not worried at all. In fact, the Xiaoyao sect is also stingy. They can buy it directly from me. It's not like they won't sell it.
Senior brother, we are asking for 3 million high-grade spiritual stones for a steam turbine made of steel! Senior brother, 3 million high-grade spiritual stones, how much wealth is this? This is the fiscal revenue of Qixia Country in the past half year!
Senior brother, as long as we can sell ten units to Xiaoyao Sect, it will be worth 30 million, which is enough to drain a country's treasury!
And what's the use of steam turbines alone? They also need to build warships, produce steel, or black iron, and make artillery. The country of Langya will probably be dragged down!
Senior brother, as long as the core technology is still in our hands, even if other countries can build steel warships, the cost price will be prohibitive for them!"
"This..." Bai Ye also came to his senses. He frowned deeply and said thoughtfully, "Is this a shopping mall like a battlefield?"
"It's just part of it. In other words, it's part of the new war." Zhang Hao said, just in time to see Bai Yutang, the general manager of Dayang Group, arriving, and immediately said to Bai Ye, "Brother, there are many important things to do later.
Let’s stay and see together.”
At about nine o'clock in the morning, three huge steel frames were erected on the beach, or iron towers are more appropriate. They were made of ordinary black iron and I-beam steel. The iron towers were more than ten meters high and were triangular in shape, with only one in the middle.
A space of about three meters is used for practitioners to practice.
Drawing on past experience, the iron tower pillars here are particularly strong. There are three iron towers and two spare ones. The iron tower even has ten thick iron cables extending into the sea.
And Taoist priests Hong Yunzi and Mingxu also led more than 300 "guinea pigs" over. Zhang Hao looked and saw excitement, anticipation and nervousness on the faces of the mice. It was obvious that Hong Yunzi had already told them about the matter.
.
However, most cultivators have a little adventurous spirit. I heard that it can improve the foundation, and everyone is willing to try it. But who will be the first?
"Zhengluan, you are the first!" Hong Yunzi pointed at his disciple and said.
The quiet Zhengluanzi blinked and didn't say anything. He just walked towards the iron tower a little uneasily. When he got close to Zhang Hao, he looked at Zhang Hao with pitiful eyes.
Zhang Hao smiled, "Senior sister, don't worry, our preparations are very complete now, much better than the hasty preparations at the beginning, guaranteed to be foolproof!"
Zhengluanzi then showed a bright smile, walked slowly under the iron tower, sat down cross-legged, took out the elixir and drank it; the spirit gathering formation carved by the spirit transformation stage under him also started. After a while, Zhengluanzi
The momentum on his body soared to the sky, and a little whirlpool gradually appeared in the sky.
Zheng Luanzi sits upright, interpreting seals with both hands, and does not care about the outside world.
A vortex gradually appeared in the sky, and because it was close to the seaside, more obvious water mist began to appear. As the spiritual energy and water mist gathered, tiny rainbows gradually appeared in the sky.
Such a strange scene astounded the viewers.
Suddenly, a little bit of lightning appeared in the whirlpool. It was very small and few at first, but it soon expanded and the number began to increase.
As the vortex sinks deeper and deeper, and as the bottom of the vortex gets closer to the iron tower, the ferocious thunder snakes begin to twist uneasily, and crackling thunder appears between the sky and the earth. Every thunder makes some people tremble with fear.
This is a catastrophe! The legends of the past have left a deep impression on everyone.
But Zhengluanzi, who had entered a state of cultivation, turned his back on the outside world. The whirlpool of spiritual energy sank slowly, and finally crossed the iron tower and entered Zhengluanzi's body through the gap in the iron tower. The lightning from the sky also spread downwards along the whirlpool.
At the moment of approaching the iron tower, the whirlpool of lightning and spiritual energy was separated. The spiritual energy continued to penetrate into the iron tower, while the lightning extended along the surface of the iron tower, and a large amount of lightning fell to the ground like splashing water.
Rocks crumble and even melt!
A large amount of lightning followed the iron rope into the sea water, and the sea water was blown away, turning into mist all over the sky. The mist rose and entered the vortex in the sky again, aggravating the lightning.
The water mist increased rapidly, and for a while there was lightning and thunder. But Zhengluanzi, who was sitting under the iron tower, was unscathed. The aura that had been crazily baptized by lightning actually showed a little bit of satin-like color, mellow, dense, and endless!
"Huh..." Hong Yunzi breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Zhang Hao, gave an affirmative smile, and said, "This matter is very important to Xuanzhen Sect! After this baptism, Zhengluan's foundation will be extraordinary.
There shouldn’t be much difficulty in becoming a god in the future.”
Zhang Hao approached Hong Yunzi and whispered, "Master, you see how important this matter is, and the price..."
Hong Yunzi patted Zhang Hao's shoulder so hard that Zhang Hao's soles sank into the ground a little bit. Hong Yunzi's words rang in Zhang Hao's ears, "Little guy, you don't get enough. You know what it means to not fight."
A fight? These people who are here to survive the tribulation all owe you a favor. Do you want their favor, or do you want something else?"
"Uh...hehe...I'll just tell you..."
The lightning lasted for ten minutes and then disappeared. After waiting for about half an hour, Zhengluanzi finally slowly opened her eyes. She stood up slowly, feeling some surprise at her own cultivation, and then looked at the blasted ground around her.
, looking at the fog that still hasn’t dispersed in the sky, I’m a little surprised.
Hongyunzi called Zhengluanzi to his side and pointed to the next one to advance. This time everyone was excited and scrambled to be the first, and the last three towers were all activated.
So an unprecedented spectacle appeared on the beach, and everyone lined up to be struck by lightning! The scene was truly spectacular, and the guys who were struck by lightning were all chattering excitedly. By the way, everyone looked at Zhang Hao, more or less
