Huangdi has used many weird and weird skills in the past, and one of them is alchemy. Of course, his alchemy has the limitations of the times, and it is different from the alchemy that became more and more weird later.
Huang Di's so-called alchemy is more like brewing medicine. Although there are legends that Huang Di took the Nine Revolutions elixir and ascended on a dragon, it is obvious that this old man carrying a bag of explosives and wearing a small vest is still alive.
In the past, Huang Di met Chi Songzi and Rong Chenggong after visiting Guangchengzi. Later, he often went with Rong Chenggong and Fuqiu Gong. When he had nothing to do, he would "find the gods, collect the gods, and refine them.
"Magic Pill"...
Moreover, in Huangdi's time, pills were not purely round. As long as they were the size of a palm and could be seen as a condensation of medicinal power, no matter whether it was a triangle or a square, it could be called a pill.
The original meaning of the word alchemy refers to cinnabar ore, because this substance is always added when refining elixirs, so the refined products are also called elixirs.
The reason for adding cinnabar is also very pure. In ancient times, when people saw this blood-red ore, they thought it was the essence and blood of the earth. Moreover, cinnabar usually appeared together with gold mines. The ancient people believed that gold "cannot be refined even if it is put into fire."
It flows and is buried forever, so it can make people immortal."... Therefore, the ancients believed that cinnabar is on top and gold is on the bottom, so gold is made of cinnabar. It is the so-called "Elixir generates gold and receives Qingyang"
The gas begins to turn into ore."
Of course, future generations know that the reason why gold is indestructible and immortal is because gold is an inert metal, inactive and its chemical molecular structure is very stable. For example, it is the "otaku" among elements.
As a master of alchemy, Huangdi had not refined many of the "round elixirs" of the Eight Classics, and most of them were strange-shaped things. However, this also gave him a wealth of experience in chemical transformations, so it is right.
Jun's black gunpowder, after Huang Di joined in the analysis, he quickly understood the principle.
It's just that Huang Di felt that there was a lot of room for improvement in this kind of black gunpowder. He wanted some time, maybe he could experiment with some inspiration, but unfortunately Jinyun's pressure was more urgent. Although Huang Di also thought about stealing the opponent's hometown directly.
, but there are also a lot of Qi Masters and great masters on the opposite side, and Huang Di also has to consider the consequences of losing his mana after using his skills.
In a life-and-death battle, it is very taboo to go deep alone, but don't worry about someone like Dayi. After all, the other spells he has learned are minor, and they are mainly about physical combat power. They can't break the opponent's body, so what's the curse?
Spells are all meant to fool ghosts.
During this time, Huangdi conducted some chemical experiments, but the results were not satisfactory. He burned coal to obtain a kind of coal tar, which he found useful and stored it. He also dry-burned saltpeter to obtain a strange corpse-dissolving water. Although
It was not preserved, but Huangdi knew how to refine it.
Then, Huang Di burned stone gallbladders to obtain a strange corrosive acidic water. Huangdi tested the acidic water on a rabbit, but of course the result was too bloody...
Stone gallbladder was called "copper salt" in ancient China. Someone discovered this stuff very early on. It was discovered because of its magical properties. The ancients said it could "turn iron into copper into gold and silver" and "turn copper into gold and silver."
"Iron, lead and tin are used to make gold". In the Western Han Dynasty, this was used as the main material and technical means of "water-based alchemy".
During the Tang Dynasty, Gu Gangzi, a great alchemist, wrote in the "Yellow Emperor's Jiuding Shendan Sutra" that refining stone gallbladder to extract its essence was actually refining "concentrated sulfuric acid". Of course, this book was written by himself.
It has nothing to do with Huang Di. He just forced Huang Di to endorse him in order to sell his alchemy book.
However, Huangdi himself has endorsed many products, including ancient adult products. The title of Target Man is not groundless. Anyway, he probably wouldn't care even if he was still alive...
Huang Di found it very interesting. Both of the two strange sour waters had similar effects, but in fact their ingredients were not the same. Moreover, Huang Di used a lot of utensils after making them. Pottery cannot be stored. Only colored glaze or glass can be used.
OK.
All the glass produced by the ceramic factory was taken away by the Yellow Emperor, and a set of particularly strange-looking alchemy equipment was built, including an almost transparent large alchemy furnace.
Bagua furnace, crystal limited edition.
Of course, it is not easy to obtain these acidic waters, and his research on gunpowder has not made great progress. The only thing he knows is that the quality of saltpeter will affect the quality of black gunpowder. Huang Di made improvements based on this, and then came up with the
of explosives.
In fact, the main change is not big, just replacing the earthen jar with a kraft paper bag.
Moreover, explosions often occur during the manufacturing process of black powder. Fortunately, Huangdi himself is not very afraid of explosions. After all, he is used to being struck by lightning. The most a small explosion can do is help him clean up his body hair...
Huangdi quickly found the Jinyun clan's base camp, and the previously barren land was reclaimed. Huangdi could even see that the Jinyun clan had also learned from the south and established a warehousing system and management measures. From production and construction, everything revealed the shadow of southerners.
.
As the saying goes, if you can't beat others, learn from others' strengths. Every tribe is good at learning. After all, those tribes that don't like learning have long been destroyed in the past turmoil.
There were a lot of explosive bags in his hand. Huang Di, carrying the engineering shovel, heard something.
"It turns out that the Jinyun clan is making big ships! Let me tell you, although they have had many attacks recently, they are not large-scale, and there is no follow-up. It is obvious that they have no intention of looking for opportunities to land. It turns out that they are making big ships..."
"With the big ship, the obstruction of the river will not be a problem. Even the crossbow stations in the south may not have any impact on the big ship. They will stand on the ship as if they are walking on flat ground. Those Qi Refiners will have a place to stay.
, will definitely cast spells until the crossbow arrows from the south are fired..."
It turned out that he wanted to create a foothold on the river. Huang Di nodded and found the place where the ships were built. When he saw those big ships, he was really surprised.
These ships are very huge, not small in size, even bigger than the giant ships in the adult country. Several of them have been completed, and some subsequent ships are still under construction.
This battle has been going on for more than half a year, and it is indeed not in vain. From the beginning, the Jinyun clan only wanted to give away people, but now they actually know how to use their brains.
And here, Huang Di saw some Qi Refiners, and his old acquaintance Shang Huangzi was also here. Huang Di thought about it, and it was precisely in order to prevent these Qi Refiners from discovering his whereabouts that Huang Di brought the explosive pack.
, otherwise, with his own thunder method, he would be enough to set these ships on fire.
Of course, testing the performance of new weapons is also an important factor.
There is also a shovel. The reason why I bring a shovel instead of an iron sword is probably because I always have to carry an iron tool with me. A sword cannot dig soil, but a shovel can, and the killing efficiency is not necessarily slower than an iron sword.
..
From now on, this thing will be called "Xuanyuan spade".
So Huang Di went to the side of a large ship, used a shovel to make a hole in the wooden board, lit three explosive bags with his backhand and threw them in.
