Chapter 138: The Great Development of Gunpowder
A dragon is a dragon, and when it comes out, it rains. It can be big and small, it can be hidden, it is big and it is cloudy and foggy, it is small and hidden, it is flying between space, and it is hidden in the waves.
Yun Hao thought that the ancients had a somewhat wrong understanding of dragons, creatures at the top of the food chain. It is definitely not an auspicious allegory, but a representation of power and authority. Westerners are more familiar with the essence of dragons, which is cannibalism.
Not only cannibalism, but also any jackal, tiger and leopard. When you encounter this kind of fierce creature, you can only turn into dragon dung in the end.
Yang Wengan claimed to be a tiger, and after conquering Ningzhou, Dasuo population and livestock. But with Li Er's army, Yang Wengan's army disappeared like ice and snow in summer. It didn't take a month before the head was cut off by his generals. Put it in a box and send it back to Chang'an for Li Yuan to visit.
Li Yuan was not polite, and ordered someone to carefully use saltpeter to nitrate. The nine sides of the transmission are on the road so that everyone can see them. This is the end of betraying the Tang Empire!
Ma Tsai was killed, and the next thing was to deal with Li Jiancheng. But Li Yuan's approach was very strange, and Li Jiancheng was imprisoned in Renzhi Palace. I didn't say that there was any punishment, but I didn't release it. At the entrance of the Renzhi Palace, there are two corpses that look like rag dolls. They are all internal servants who inquire about the news for others, and Li Yuan's understanding of internal servants is very simple, slaves! Die a few minions, and he won't care.
Hanging corpses serves the same purpose as making a traveling exhibition of human heads. The attendants walked with their legs between their legs, and they seemed to be able to hear the wails of the two people who had been killed by the cane. When you see people, you can't even do body language such as gestures. The unified response was to keep your head down and pretend not to see. Each of them hated himself for having the ability to speak.
Yun Hao lay lazily in the shade under the grape trellises, and the August day was the time when the autumn tigers were raging. At this time, there is nothing more meaningful than lying down and sleeping. didn't communicate with the perverts of the Li family who were fond of showing corpses, Yun Hao felt that telling them about the human rights king law or something was destroying himself. Wang Fa is his family, and he says to change it as he wants.
"Dumb, talk about Gu persimmon!" Yun Hao, who was sleeping soundly, was struck by a thunderbolt, and the leading boss of the Yun family appeared. One hand held the national treasure, and the other hand slapped Yun Hao in the face.
Yun Hao sat up with a spirit, and he was a little dizzy when he got up too violently. Looking back at his son, who had not yet grown his teeth, he was angry. What has this become, if it weren't for his own son, I really wanted to make him a national treasure.
Holding his son and about to reprimand, Zhao trotted all the way over. "Oops! Good grandson, don't make your father sleep! Grandma will make you a big watermelon to eat! ”
Yun Hao lost his temper all of a sudden, and dared to say more today. The one who was scolded was himself, and he finally knew what to say about those emperors and princes. is longer than the hands of a woman in the deep palace, why is it difficult to become a big weapon. It's so habitual, and it's thank God not to ruin your family business.
"Dogs eat watermelon too!" Yun Baobao said in a milky voice.
Yun Hao's nose was almost crooked, and one watermelon a day was the treatment that only Dou and Li Yuan had. Now the pandas of the Yun family actually want to eat watermelon, and they really take this thing as a national treasure.
"That's a bear, not a dog!" Yun Hao really wants to reverse Yun Baobao's impression of pandas, this thing is not a husky. In the wild, his mother ran faster than Liu Xiang. The bite force is comparable to the existence of a crocodile, this is a beast of prey, not a dog. The most ferocious Tibetan mastiff is also treated as scraps in front of it.
Yun Hao is the last thing he wants to listen to about what Tibetan mastiff can give birth to a lion and tiger or something like that, if you have the ability, you can put the Tibetan mastiff and the lion and tiger in a cage and try it. See who treats whom as a snack? The welterweight amateur boxer, challenging Tyson Holyfield, this is Yun Hao's definition of Tibetan mastiff vs. lion tiger.
If you want to become a beast, you can't beat the leopard first!
"Dog!" The son firmly believes that he is leading a dog. At this time, the panda also cooperated with its two front paws to hold the calves of the cloud baby. The mouth screamed "whoa" and "whoop", and the dark and bright eyes were full of cunning.
"How old is the child, how can he tell whether it is a dog or a bear. It's all good, Xiaohua is very obedient, and even the old body likes it tightly. Zhao smiled at Mimi's appearance, and he couldn't see his teeth. In her eyes, the whole world is good.
Finished! Finished! After a bear has the attribute of selling cuteness, it is no longer a bear, but a panda. It is a national treasure loved by everyone, and it is an existence that Yun Hao, the head of the family, cannot afford to offend. If Yun Hao wanted to punish this brute, it was estimated that the women of the whole family would stand up against it. The first to bear the brunt is this old lady who can't afford to offend.
"Mother! The child can't be so used to it, the loving mother is ...... defeated! Yun Hao reacted in time and swallowed the remaining words into his stomach.
"Why don't you say it? When you escaped from your hometown, why didn't you say that a loving mother was a loser. Isn't this mother merciful? Why didn't I see you loser! Sure enough, the Zhao family was furious. Even the panda Xiaohua also "whooped" and "whooped" stared at the black eyes, waiting to see Yun Hao's jokes. This beast has the potential to become a refinement, and it hasn't been long in the Yun family, and he already knows who has the final say in this family.
"Mother, the child doesn't mean that, the child is saying that the baby is ......!"
"Then what do you mean, I made it clear to the old body today. What's wrong with your mother, not a loving mother? Zhao pinched his waist, looking like a dominatrix. A typical representative of having a grandson and forgetting a son!
"Uh......! Mother, the child knows that he is wrong.! "There is no way to reason about this, and Yun Hao doesn't understand. Wei Mao himself slept for a while, and now he was not only slapped by his son, but also questioned by the old lady pointing to the tip of his nose. How did it all happen? Flying wreck?
"Mother! I can't find it anywhere, but it's here. The embroidery lady on the Zhuangzi saluted a batch of good soles, and my sister asked her mother to pick them first. Dugu Wanwan appeared very well, and her big eyes slipped away, and she knew what was going on with Yun Hao.
"Look at you, it's not a wild day out. It's just to mix with those people in the court, are there good people in the court? Pity my family, they have thinned the woman's bun. But I didn't see you go to her room to settle in, so you went to Wanwan's room tonight. It's always like this, when will the old body be able to hold the little grandson again. Young people don't know why the old man cares about things. The old lady put her crutches on the ground and made a "bang" and "bang" sound, Dugu Wanwan's face was like a red cloth, and even the goose neck was full of ruddy.
I finally know what kind of fire my mother made today, just because of the cabbage picked into the house, my pig didn't arch.
Seeing that his father was deflated, Yun Baobao laughed "quack" and "quack".
Damn, it's okay for others to laugh. Lao Tzu gave birth to a competitor who competed with you for family property, and you laughed at it.
I warned myself ten thousand times in my heart that I would not be as knowledgeable as the old man and children. solemnly apologized to the old lady and promised to stay in Dugu Wanwan's room tonight. It's almost guaranteed to be a hit, and ten months later, let her old man hold her big fat grandson again.
"Humph! That's pretty much it, remember what you said. Seeing that his son had a guarantee, the Zhao family was supported by Dugu Wanwan. took his little grandson and the panda and walked away majestically. Holding a panda is not called majestic?
The front foot sent the old lady away, and Yun Hao on the back foot was ready to slip away. Fifteen-year-old underage girl, you let Lao Tzu scourge, so you can wait for others to become adults, okay?
The family couldn't stay, Yun Hao was going to the academy to spend the whole afternoon. For Yun Hao, the old fisherman has a deep grudge. Tinker with a framework, and let it go now. If it weren't for the many disciples, the old man thought that he would be exhausted to death.
It has been proven that Datang's soil is very suitable for brewing scientific and technological products. After there was no worry about scientific research funding, countless demons in the academy began to make their own inventions.
As soon as he arrived at the academy's test ground, Yun Hao saw a huge trebuchet. The trebuchet was so huge that it was level with a four-story building, and the old fisherman stood on the edge of the trebuchet with a happy face. Compared to trebuchet, he is more like a round shell.
"Boy, come and have a look. Fifty pounds of boulder, this thing can throw 1,200 steps. If you replace it with a bomb, it will be very powerful. "The fisherman is very satisfied with his work.
Yun Hao took a closer look at the chassis of this thing, the chassis made of fine ebony was polished by the painter. This thing seems to be dragging on the ground.,Why do you paint so much.。。。
"Great, it's just that how are you going to move this thing? Why didn't the kid see the wheels? ”
"Move? This thing is all made of fine ebony, and it weighs more than 1,300 catties. What are you going to drag with? This is placed on the head of the city, and there is a turntable that can adjust the direction. Your Majesty said that every city wall in Chang'an must have two statues of this thing. The old fisherman looked at Yun Hao's expression, as if he was looking at a lump of stool.
OMG! It seems that Li Yuan is really rich, 1,300 catties of ebony. There are definitely more than 1,300 catties of copper coins, and there is a danger of bankruptcy if you build a statue of Yunhao. Li Yuan is really generous, and he is eight statues in one go. Fifty pounds of bombs exploding in the middle of an enemy group will surely cause super chaos. However, Yun Hao believes that the deterrent significance of this thing is far greater than its practical value.
It is important to know that the catapult actually has a large projectile dead end, once the enemy has mastered this feature. The ability of trebuchets to strike moving targets will be greatly reduced. Yun Hao always thought that this thing was better used in siege warfare. It is far more effective to use this thing against the city wall than against the enemy.
Yun Hao didn't plan to talk about this weakness, Li Yuan obviously wanted to do some image engineering. Deter the illegal forces inside and outside the court, presumably after this thing is installed on the tall Chang'an city wall, it will definitely be an existence that people look up to. With such a strong city and such a sharp weapon to protect it, who can break through it?
Li Yuan is not stupid, he spent a lot of money, and the benefits naturally brought by it must be worth the price. The yellow dragon entrenched in the sky above Chang'an City has not many eyes.
Li Yuan didn't care, and Yu Lao didn't care even more. His dream was to reshape the splendor of the Mohists and to study more knowledge. Manufacture more tools rich in mechanical elements, and at a time when the world was practicing Confucianism, it sought a place for the Mohist doctrine.
His Majesty the Emperor is a perfect patron, as long as there is a project, he will definitely invest, and there is no upper limit. Yun Hao saw that someone had already tried to mix gunpowder into the cotton. If this continues, Yun Hao is likely to see the birth of ammonium nitrate cotton.
Gunpowder is a chemical from the day it was born. It has the attributes of the Olympics, stronger, stronger, stronger, is the only goal of the researcher. In order to achieve this purpose, there are more than a dozen more tombs on the hillside diagonally opposite the academy. In the academy, there are also more than a dozen guys who look like ghosts more than people.
Yun Hao was fortunate enough to see their faces under their delicate silver masks, and after one look, you would never have the urge to take a second look. Mutilated limbs, ugly faces. All of them prove their dedication to the Olympic spirit. Yun Hao didn't know whether to show them reverence or fear.
These people are crazy people with grenades in one hand. Hold an hourglass in one hand to calculate the time when the fuse will explode. The crazy move conquered Yun Hao, and Yun Hao made up his mind. In the future, refusing to get close to these guys within a hundred steps, getting close to them is definitely destroying your body and mind. If one of them is not right, it will destroy your own life.
There is often only a thin line between a madman and a genius. Yun Hao even saw the old man holding a round iron pipe, sealing one side and filling it with gunpowder. Then I put an iron ball into it, lit the fuse, and the iron ball actually erupted. Although the biggest damage to people is the surface of the feet, it cannot stop the interest of the fisherman in the slightest.
If the appearance of muskets needs to be delayed for a while, the appearance of rockets is definitely of epoch-making significance. The arrow with the tail feathers was tied to a powder tube and lit at the back. The arrows will rush out of the rack, and the range is not far. Within fifty or sixty steps, it is still possible to shoot through the Light Armor. Yun Hao believed that this thing must be a nightmare for cavalry charges.
Just as the cavalry rushed in front of the infantry and was preparing to deal with the poor reptiles with their rifles and sabers. The local army array was full of arrows, and the cavalry shock formation would collapse in an instant.
The fisherman knows history, and he has been fascinated by the story of the fire bull array in the Warring States period since he was a child. Now that there is such a good opportunity, how can you not demonstrate it. In order to ensure the correct surname of the ox in the direction of impact, the fisherman tied three oxen together with a wooden pole.
In order to increase the power of destruction, he also thoughtfully let each cow carry thirty catties of gunpowder on his body. This should be regarded as a biological weapon in the Tang Dynasty!
Yun Hao walked all the way, and was shocked all the way. The arrival of his own butterfly has made the huge war machine more efficient in killing. Just when I didn't know whether to be happy or remorseful, suddenly Qi Biao panted and said, "Brother Hao, something happened!" ”
