After Liu Quan left, Lin Weiye remembered the experience of cutting his feet, and he told Xia Nan in detail about the journey to Li District, including the cave where rock salt and sodium saltpeter coexisted. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xia Nan was very interested in his drunken disorder and Huang Hansheng's show of archery, and teased: "So, you took advantage of the wine to take down Nanying's sister?" Such a bright little flower is just inserted in your lump of cow dung, God is unfair! I'm so handsome and chic, why don't I have this good life, why didn't I see my sister throw myself into my arms? ”

Lin Weiye's face was red, and he scolded in a low voice: "This is not the point, the point is that the mine, in addition to rock salt, there are also ......"

"In other words, Han Sheng's archery skills are also very good, and that muscular man must not be angry, but unfortunately I am not here, and I have not seen this Western scenery with my own eyes. It would be nice if I took Yang Youji with me, and asked Yang Youji to compare with the muscular man again, he must be angry that he vomited blood, just like Zhou Xingxing's movie, what is it called Tang Bohu to order autumn fragrance, the one in it vomits blood like squirting tap water, haha......"

Lin Weiye was finally angered by the success: "Okay, you don't pay attention to this saltpeter mine, just wait for the pile of dung!" I don't care. ”

Heap...... Big? What's going on?

Xia Nan was at a loss, he saw that Lin Weiye was really anxious, and it was terrible for an honest person to be angry, so he hurriedly reassured: "Okay, okay, I'm joking with you, why don't I pay attention to the saltpeter mine?" But what's going on with this pile of? ”

Lin Weiye gloated and said: "If there is no saltpeter mine to collect saltpeter, then if you want to get nitrate for gunpowder, you can only use soil methods." One is to go to the corner of the old thatched toilet in the countryside to scrape, the kind of frost-like crystal, but the source is limited, only enough for you to set off a few firecrackers; The second is to collect people's excrement, mainly urine and loose stool, wait for fermentation, and then you can also get nitrate, the smell is a little smelly, but it is more secure than scraping the corner of the toilet, hehe. ”

Hearing the old thatched toilet, Xia Nan remembered the primitive toilet he had seen when he went to the countryside to experience life, the environment and the taste were really sour, and he had a slight cleanliness habit when he recalled this scene and felt a little disgusted.

When I heard the words loose stool and fermentation, I couldn't help but retch when I made up the scene of a mountain of feces, flies covering the sky, and a stench.

He vomited a few times, stayed away from Lin Weiye in horror, and begged, "Viagra, don't say it anymore." Do you want to be so disgusting? What does that have to do with gunpowder? ”

Lin Weiye said: "It matters, the gunpowder we can make at present can only be black powder, and we can't make any high-power explosives, whether nitroglycerin, TNT or smokeless gunpowder, because our chemical process foundation is basically zero." The power of black powder is smaller, the key is that the ingredients are simple and easy to make, only nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal powder are needed......" Speaking of this, he reacted, ", don't call it viagra, how ugly." ”

"Don't mind, that's kind. CharcoalI know, there are many trees in Qiongzhou, so what about sulfur in addition to nitrate? ”

"Sulfur accounts for a small proportion of gunpowder, while the demand for nitrate is much larger, the proportion of nitrate is about 70 percent, sulfur is only about 11 percent, and if there is a chance, it can be bought in large quantities from Japan in the future, Japan is a volcanic country, and there is a lot of sulfur. So what needs to be solved urgently is the problem of nitrate."

When it comes to military aircraft, Xia Nan also became serious: "So, you must take the Foot Cutting Mountain?" ”

"That's right!" Lin Weiye is categorical.

Xia Nan looked at the other party suspiciously, isn't this because the muscular man is molesting Fu Nanying, and the communiqué has a personal vendetta, right? But I don't dare to say this anymore, if I delve into the theory of stool fermentation, I will vomit out my overnight meal.

However, taking down the chopping mountain can still only be a plan, the iron has not been trained, the gun has not been built, everything is a floating cloud. Xia Nan adjusted her mood, and while she was still not busy, she went to see her dear sister Maria.

called Chunlan, and after asking, I found out that Maria went to the beach to see the villagers drying salt.

This crazy girl, doesn't she know that it's unladylike to run around like this? It's okay to go left and right, go crazy with her.

Summer Nan came to the Mayuan Salt Farm, and sure enough, the trio were there, and Maria squatted on the edge of the salt pan without a ladylike image, curiously watching the villagers drying salt, and Baozhu and Jade guarding behind her. William had a stick of grass in his mouth and was bored leaning against the tree to bask in the sun, while Charles wandered around and surveyed his surroundings.

Seeing Xia Nan, Maria greeted happily: "Hi, dear Xia, is this also your property?" It's amazing that the snow-white salt actually comes out of such a dark muddy water! ”

"That's right, it's my property. My industry also includes more than 100 acres of fertile land, a factory of 1,000 workers, and in the future I will build the largest steel mill and shipyard in the Far East, and build a merchant fleet and a powerful fleet of my own! ”

In order to envelop these three people, Xia Nan spared no effort to advocate for himself, which is indeed his future goal.

All three were captivated by his words, Charles focused on "the largest shipyard in the Far East", William on the "mighty fleet", and Maria on the merchant fleet. She asked excitedly, "When your fleet is established, can I travel the world with it?" ”

"That's my pleasure." In the summer, Minami bent down and saluted, full of gentlemanly demeanor.

Maria was drunk, and the scene described by this elegant man was so beautiful that she couldn't help but think about it.

"By the way, thank you very much for the two maids you assigned to me, they are very good, but the names are difficult to pronounce and the language is not clear."

"If you need, I can get you two English-speaking maids from Manila or Batavia." Xia Nan said with a smile, but said in his heart: It's better not to, Manila is far away.

"It doesn't matter, in addition to my native language, I also know Spanish and French, and now, I want to learn Chinese as well." Maria replied cheerfully. She added in her heart, for you, Xia, I must learn Chinese.

That's a good sign! Learning Chinese shows that she is willing to live here for a long time. Maria's affection for him he could feel that it was a good thing to kill two birds with one stone - it was possible to gain a transnational romance, and through her, Charles and William could be tied here.

"I want to talk to your uncle, it might be boring. Maria, would you like to visit my factory? ”

"What you are talking about must be related to shipbuilding, my uncle will only build ships in his life, hehe." Maria Gege laughed, "I'm not interested in any of this, you can ask Baozhu and Jade to take me to visit your huge weaving factory!" ”

Ordering the two maids to take Maria to the factory, Xia Nan said goodbye to the English girl with a smile. When they disappeared from sight, Xia Nan said to Charles, "Dear Mr. Charles, can I talk to you in depth about building a shipyard?" ”
