Wu Xiang was still thinking about how to phrase it, to see how he could get the technology to make this new type of yellow fire from Wei Bao.

Wu Xuexia couldn't see it, "Dad, what Wei Gongzi said is right, it takes thousands of people, and it takes more than a month to get such a little, so you can only set off fireworks and firecrackers when you have fun, and you can't do business to make money, what are you learning to do?" ”

Wu Xiang didn't take Wu Xuexia's words, and looked at Wei Bao with deep eyes, with an expression that you don't want to fool me, I have already seen through everything about you.

Wei Bao smiled, and he was not afraid of Wu Xiang's 'in-depth research', because if he didn't understand the basic chemical technology of chemical industry, and it was all done by hand, it would be tens of thousands of people, and it would take a year, and it would be difficult to achieve the level of fire leaves like his fire residues.

Technology, science, and charm lie in this, if you understand the principle, it is not difficult, just like a layer of window paper, it can't be broken, it can never be broken, it is stronger than the copper wall, once it is broken, it is found that it only needs to blow the ashes.

"If Lord Wu doesn't believe it, I'll write out the recipe now, and the craftsman only needs to do it, and he can get the same fire as mine." Wei Bao had a sincere expression.

Wei Bao's words made Wu Xiang a little embarrassed, although there was no concept of knowledge protection in this era, but every house has secret recipes, and the chef who cooks has a lot of unique secret recipes, and he has to keep one hand for configuring a sauce or something, just taking away other people's skills for nothing, it seems to be a bit of that.

"What's so embarrassing?" Wu Xiang said: "I went back to Weijiazhuang and saw the Wei family's winery, which was really good, and the pure grain and liquid brewed were very authentic." If Wei Gongzi gave the recipe for making this kind of fire, the Wu family would not produce wine in the future, and the Wu family's winery would give it to Wei Gongzi. ”

Wei Bao smiled: "No, no, no, how can I want the Wu family's winery?" If Lord Wu is interested in anything I have here, no matter what technology, I can give it to you! ”

Wei Bao looks generous to the 'old man'.

Even Wu Sanfu was moved by Wei Bao, "Dad, grain, winery, cloth, these businesses can be handed over to Wei Gongzi to take care of." "I secretly wonder if I can really create a fire to win Jiannu, then the Wu family will have more opportunities to make a lot of money in the future, what are you doing in these businesses? You don't even need a pawnshop.

"Yes, Sansuke is right. Wei Gongzi's Tiandi business is running very well, Wei Gongzi is not only good at learning and martial arts, but also a wizard in business, and he must earn more than the Wu family to do it himself, what am I worried about? Wu Xiang smiled and asked, "Master Wei, what do you think?" ”

The reason why Wu Xiang followed Wu Sanfu's words so generously was because in Wu Xiang's opinion, if he had this kind of Yellow Fire Technique that was far more powerful than the Black Fire Leaf Technique, would he still be afraid that he would not have any money to earn? Just Liaodong, which has been fighting wars all year round, can't finish this business. He and Wu Sanfu thought of going together.

What's more, he just said that he would hand it over to Wei Bao to take care of, not give it to Wei Bao, besides, didn't he just say it very clearly? It definitely can't be less than the money that the Wu family originally earned, hehe.

How could Wei Bao not know the ingenuity? said with a smile: "I said that there is no need to be like this, the Wu family has the Wu family's business, and I also have my own business, I just hope that in the future, the Tiandi firm can do business in Liaoxi, if it can, I also hope that Lord Wu can give the Tiandi firm the opportunity to go out of the customs and do some business in Liaodong." As for this fire technique, I'll write it down now. ”

"Good, good!" Wu Xiangle couldn't close his mouth, nodded at Wei Bao with satisfaction, and looked at his daughter again.

When the mother-in-law saw her son-in-law, the more she looked at it, the happier she became. When the old man sees his son-in-law, most of them are all kinds of pickers.

However, Wu Xiang is indeed very satisfied with Wei Bao, because Wu Xiang has a businessman's temperament in his bones, and he attaches more importance to Wei Bao's businessman's temperament, feels very familiar with it, and admires Wei Bao. Wu Xiang also didn't want Wu Xuexia to find a reckless martial artist in the future, for fear that her daughter would be angry.

Looking at all aspects, Wu Xiang can hardly find out Wei Bao's shortcomings, even if Wei Bao shows a lot of ambition, in Wu Xiang's opinion, it is understandable, who in the world has no ambition? What's more, it is a person from the west of Liaoning, Liaodong of Liaoxi, a big family with a little bit of family background, so they want to have a private army, and they want to support the army on one side and respect themselves, it depends on who has the ability!

Wei Bao immediately walked away from the dragon and snake, brushed the hard writing, and wrote densely on the rice paper taken by the Wu family.

The recipe for picric acid he wrote, from various chemical reactions to various ingredients, was meticulous in every detail, and he wrote two large sheets of paper.

The reason why Wei Bao dared to write in such detail was that he didn't want to hide anything, because Wei Bao knew that with a detailed formula, the Wu family might be able to make a yellow fire leaf, but the color of the fire leaf could catch up with the three-thirds of the residue he brought today!

As for the production efficiency, without the coordination of temperature, without the cooperation of the steam engine and the reactor, it is even more meaningless to rely on manual operation, and it is completely unable to meet the requirements of large-scale production required by the operation.

Picric acid was first synthesized in 1771 by P. Wolf in England. It is a yellow crystal, which was originally used as a yellow dye, and was used in military applications only after it was used in France to fill artillery shells in 1885. Hence the name yellow explosives.

Picric acid was widely used as a fierce explosive at the end of the 19th century.

Wei Bao believed that even if the formula he came up with could not improve the firearms of the Liaodong Border Army on a large scale, it would be beneficial for them to popularize a little knowledge and let them see the difference between black fire and yellow fire.

Shop around, so as to provide an opportunity for yourself to enter the path of an arms dealer.

And just having a yellow fire is useless without other technology.

For example, the artillery used by the Ming Dynasty now is all solid bullets, no matter how many ballistics the solid bullets can be divided into, what is smashed out is a physical attack, which improves the fire, it can only be said that it hits far, hits hard, and the power of the promotion is limited.

Of course, it can increase the firing distance, which itself is of great military significance, and the goal pursued by military weapons is undoubtedly far, powerful, and accurate, and the three are combined, so that they can be effectively killed when others cannot hit themselves.

Why did the French Napoleon sweep Europe with artillery? And not other classes? The future of military weapons is all about artillery, and all kinds of changes are developing around artillery.

If you want to upgrade the cannon at this time to a breech cannon after you have the Yellow Fire Blade, or even use the cannon with flowering shells.

There is also the technology of mercury, which is an initiating charge, which is used to prepare fire cap firing and acupuncture charges, and can also be used to fill detonators for blasting.

There must also be nitrocellulose technology, nitroglycerin technology.

Nitroglycerin is a kind of high liquid explosive, which can be called a column explosion when it is slightly shaken, which is dangerous and not suitable for production.

After 1859, Nobel and his father and younger brother jointly studied the safe production method of nitroglycerin, and finally in 1862 the nitroglycerin was subdued by the "thermothermal method", so that it could be produced in batches relatively safely.

Wei Bao didn't know if Deng Erxian had come up with a safe production method for nitroglycerin, but Weijiazhuang's smokeless fire buds had reached the standard of thermal weapons and could be mass-produced for the manufacture of thermal weapons.

And after the smokeless fire technology, Weijiazhuang already has TNT technology.

TNT is a powerful and fairly safe explosive that does not burn or detonate even if it is pierced by a bullet. At the beginning of the 20th century, it began to be widely used to load various ammunition and carry out explosions, gradually replacing picric acid.

Until the end of World War II, TNT was known as the "King of Dynamite" with the best overall performance.

Wei Bao even felt that the fire blade that Deng Erxian made had all the technical characteristics of Dana explosives.

Dana dynamite was also invented by Nobel in history.

The nitroglycerin-silica mixture not only makes explosives less powerful, but also safer to produce, use and handle.

Wood pulp was used instead of clay to make a new high explosive, Dana Dynamite, the word "Dana" derived from the Greek word for "might".

In 1872, Nobel produced a gum-like gum explosive based on Dana explosives.

Gummy Dana explosives are the world's first bi-base explosives.

Wei Bao felt that Deng Erxian's technology was at this stage now.

Although Deng Erxian was tried and tested, a bit of a blind cat's luck to meet a dead mouse happened to come out.

However, Deng Erxian developed the fire into gelatin, then pressed it into flakes, cut strips and dried and hardened, and it was indeed made into the world's first smokeless gunpowder.

This invention is of great significance.

It's almost 300 years ahead of the original history.

After the smokeless powder is burned, there is no residue, no or only a small amount of smoke, but it can make the firing range, ballistic straightness and shooting accuracy of the fired projectile have been born and provide the conditions for ammunition.

It was the use of smokeless gunpowder that made heavy machine guns useful.

If the steel industry is engaged and there are qualified steel materials, Wei Bao can even start to develop rifles and breech howitzers with heavy firepower!

At present, the manufacturing process of the smokeless pyrotechnics made by Deng Erxian is still relatively troublesome, and it is also necessary to make safer and cheaper "special Dana explosives" and "extra-strong yellow gunpowder".

Wei Bao also proposed the next stage of research and development goals for Deng Erxian, that is, Hei Suojin.

In 1899, the German Henning invented the Black Sojin. Before the advent of the atomic bomb, it was the most powerful explosive, also known as the "cyclone explosive".

After the Second World War, it replaced the throne of the "King of Dynamite" of TNT.

Then you can also develop C4, the full name is C4 plastic explosives, referred to as C4, the name comes from the fact that there are 4 carbons in each monomolecular structure, which is a highly efficient explosive agent, if the adhesive material is attached to the outside, it can be firmly adhered to it like chewing gum, so it is called cruel chewing gum.

Wu Xiang took the rice paper from Wei Bao's hand and read: "Picric acid, 2,4,6-trinitrophenol is a kind of explosive, and the pure substance is a slightly yellow crystal at room temperature. It is a trinitro substitute for phenol, which is strongly acidic due to the effect of nitro-electron withdrawing, and is derived from its "bitter taste" because of its strong bitter taste. It is insoluble in carbon tetrachloride, slightly soluble in carbon disulfide, soluble in hot water, ethanol, ether, soluble in acetone, benzene and other organic solvents. ”

The more Wu Xiang reads, the more he twists his mouth, and he actually stumbles over a simple sentence for two or three minutes and still can't read it clearly.

Wu Sanfu and Wu Xuexia also stepped forward to read what Wei Bao wrote.

Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfu, and Wu Xuexia really can't understand it.

Wu Xiang put down his hand and said to Wei Bao: "Master Wei, what are you writing here?" Why can't I understand at all? That's how you made this yellow fire? The old man knows a little about the ratio of iron and silver, and black fire, and I believe that ordinary craftsmen can't understand what Wei Gongzi is writing, right? Which ancient alchemy books are you referring to? ”

Wei Bao smiled, and saw that Wu Xiang was suspecting him of playing tricks, writing blindly, and deliberately deceiving him.

"Lord Wu, isn't this a reference to which ancient alchemy book, how can the skills of the ancients be compared with the current people? Science is constantly evolving. It's normal that you can't understand these things, and I figured them all out myself. If you really want to make this kind of yellow fire leaf yourself, you can find a few craftsmen who can make black fire leaves, and I can teach them slowly. Wei Bao said.

Hearing Wei Bao say this, Wu Xiang no longer had any doubts, "Don't worry, Wei Gongzi himself will make this kind of fire, what is the difference between it and the Wu family meeting?" ”

Wu Sanfu said with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, Xiaobao's personality didn't say it, he gave it to you, and said that if you give you this technology, you will definitely do it." ”

Wu Xiang smiled with relief, becoming more and more satisfied with Wei Bao, but he still had two things in his heart, that is, Zu Dashou's opinion on him easing relations with Wei Bao, and even wanting to recruit Wei Bao as his son-in-law. In addition, Wei Bao was unwilling to return the silver of a group of big families in Liaodong and Liaoning, saying that he would not be willing to repay half of it until three years later, and he had to let these people sign Weijiazhuang's letter of promotion.

Wu Xiang felt that there was no problem in letting these sign Weijiazhuang's letter of promotion, as long as they didn't have to pay money, these were trivial matters. After three years, it is not impossible to negotiate the silver, it is only a little longer, but only half of the silver will be repaid, this is the flesh of these people, Wu Xiang feels that they will never agree, this matter is definitely not over.

Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfu, Wu Xuexia and Wei Bao talked for a while, and Wu Sanfeng came back after taking the scald medicine.

Wu Sanfeng was just scalded by the tea, although the area was quite large, it was not serious, and he couldn't see it when he wore clothes.

Seeing that his father and Wei Bao were talking very happily, they were very affectionate, as if this villager Wei Bao was the nephew of the Wu family, which made Wu Sanfeng very surprised, I don't know what happened just now?

"How's the injury?" Wu Xiang frowned and asked coldly. Through the relationship between Wu Sanfu and Wei Bao, Wu Sanfu, who is now almost regarded as a transparent person by Wu Xiang and the Wu family, suddenly greatly improved his status in Wu Xiang's mind. The improvement of Wu Sanfu's status will naturally make Wu Sanfeng's status drop a lot.

Therefore, Wu Xiang was not as pleasing to the eye as in the past when he looked at Wu Sanfeng.

"It's okay, the doctor said to change the dressing every day, and in a few days, you can be cured." After Wu Sanfeng finished speaking, he glanced at Wei Bao, although it was not Wei Bao who made him hot, but after all, it was related to Wei Bao, if Wei Bao hadn't scared him by what he said, he wouldn't have been burned. Wu Sanfeng is very angry, especially since he has always had a prejudice against Wei Bao.

Wu Xiang didn't say anything, Wu Sanfu said with a smile: "Big brother, it's a trivial matter, just be careful next time, you can burn yourself with a cup of tea, hehe." ”

Usually Wu Sanfu talks to Wu Sanfeng like this, if it is a weekday, Wu Sanfeng will not say anything, but now that Wei Bao is here, he was already annoyed because he was burned inexplicably, and when he heard Wu Sanfu say this, he suddenly became angry: "Wu Sanfu, don't think that you can become a celebrity in front of your father if you get together with a villager!" Less in front of me, no big or small! ”

Wu Sanfu was angry and strange, where do you start, when will I not be big or small in front of you? I called you big brother before I talked to you just now, right? Did I just forget to call it? "Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Sanfeng snorted angrily.

"Sanfeng! You are not small, you are close to the age, can you be more stable? Wu Xiang asked.

"Dad, why am I unstable? Wei Bao returned 300,000 taels of gold, and Wu Sanfu pulled the strings from it, is this not the case for me to be unstable? Wu Sanfeng said angrily: "If Wei Bao hadn't deceived 300,000 taels of gold with a trick, how could he have returned the gold?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? What trick did Wei Gongzi use? Now that this matter has been revealed, what do you want to say? Wu Xiang said unhappily.

"Dad, I don't want to say anything, I just want to remind you that this surname Wei is not a good thing, he has a bad stomach at a young age, you should be careful!" Wu Sanfeng said and glared at Wei Bao fiercely.

Wei Bao was confused, secretly thinking that this Wu Sanfeng was really a stunned person! On weekdays, I send silver and women, and I really feed the dogs, for this kind of person, no matter how much benefit I give, it is meat buns to beat the dog.

The woman is an agent of the Statistics Bureau, and she is originally used to perform various tasks, thousands of taels of silver, with Wei Bao's current value, she will not take it to heart, mainly because she feels that there is something wrong with Wu Sanfeng's nerves, like a mad dog.

Wu Sanfeng is not mainly against Wei Bao this time, but against Wu Sanfu!

Wu Sanfu never took the Wu family's business and family business to heart, and was at ease as his rich son, and never thought of robbing the powerful position of Wu Sanfeng, the son of the Wu family.

But Wu Sanfeng doesn't think so, usually Wu Sanfu never gets involved in family affairs, eats, drinks and has fun, so he can maintain a good relationship with Wu Sanfu. But since Wu Sanfu became friends with Wei Bao, Wu Sanfeng has been faintly sick, worried that after getting together with people like Wei Bao, Wu Sanfu will also become bad! will fight his idea, and will seek to seize the powerful position of his Wu family's son.

"What nonsense are you talking about here? Do you want to be grounded? Wu Xiang glared and said angrily. In front of Wei Bao, an 'outsider', I didn't expect Wu Sanfeng to dare to talk back, and I felt very shameless.

Wu Sanfeng saw that his father seemed to be really angry, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he quickly shut up.

Wu Sanfu hurriedly said: "Dad, it's all my fault, maybe I didn't do something bad to make my eldest brother unhappy, right?" It's okay, it's okay. ”

"Humph! Look at Sanfu, there are more people who are more knowledgeable than you! Since the third auxiliary examination in Xiucai, he has become more knowledgeable. "Wu Xiang is a personality that is not easy to get angry, but once he gets angry, it is not easy to go down.

Wu Sanfeng was even more angry when he heard his father say this. But I don't know why my father was suddenly so polite to Wei Bao and so loving to Wu Sanfu, so he didn't dare to touch his head again at this time.

Wu Sanfu was persuaded again, and Wu Xiang, who had only been persuaded, was slightly relieved.

Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfu and Wei Bao continued to chat, and Wu Xuexia occasionally exchanged two sentences, and the atmosphere was not harmonious.

This made Wu Sanfeng feel as if he had become an outsider now, and Wei Bao was very much like a member of the Wu family, which made Wu Sanfeng extremely jealous in his heart. I really don't understand what means Wei Bao used to make his father change so quickly.

Although Wei Bao returned 300,000 taels of gold, Wu Sanfeng didn't think it was a big deal, after all, this batch of gold was taken out from the Wu family, and the Wu family's ancestral family joined forces, so it was easy to get back the gold from Wei Bao! Shouldn't that be a big deal?

Wu Sanfeng didn't know that Wei Bao had just talked to his father about Huang Huowei.

It wasn't until Zu Dashou brought Zu Kefa that Wu Sanfeng, who was annoyed in his heart, happy.

Wu Sanfeng knew that his helper was coming! What does Zu Kefa think about his sister? If Wei Bao's relationship with the Wu family eases, he can immediately become Zu Kefa's number one opponent! Hehe, to deal with Wei Bao and Wu Sanfu, why do you have to do it yourself?
