"Your Highness, will this gunpowder really explode?"

In the dark night, there was only some light in the side hall of the palace, and the pothos was very timid, and she looked like she was going to cry at this time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Aster glared at Lu Tong and said, "You are still the one appointed by His Highness to study chemistry, go, go, go, let me come." ”

After that, Aster couldn't help but say that he took over the work of Lu Tong and carefully grinded the saltpeter.

Lu Tong looked embarrassed, how could he lose to a weak woman as a man, calmed down for a moment, he didn't speak, and took a rolling stick again and grinded it.

This time, Xiao Ming called Lu Tong over to teach him personally, although this gunpowder is not a secret in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, it is not something that anyone can master.

And the ratio of one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal he used this time is the best ratio of black powder.

During this time, Xiao Ming inquired about the ratio of black powder in Dayu Kingdom, and the conclusions he got were strange, what kind of ratio there was, it was a mess.

And the power of gunpowder according to these proportions can be imagined.

Therefore, this time, starting from the production of gunpowder, his gunpowder ratio was dominant.

And this ratio Lu Tong is naturally not clear, after this teaching, he understands, and is also responsible for the production of gunpowder.

After all, the production of artillery is one thing, and there are actually a lot of projects to equip artillery, gunpowder, shells, and artillery bases in the future.

However, tonight, Xiao Ming is not only to teach Lu Tong to produce the traditional black powder of the Great Yu Kingdom, but to further upgrade the black powder to particle powder, which is also a way to increase the power of black powder.

As for the granulation of gunpowder, in his time, the West had already appeared in the fifteenth century, so it was not a difficult problem to make it technically at this time.

After the three of them grinded all the sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal in their hands into fine powder, at this time, according to Xiao Ming's request, Lu Tong mixed the three materials according to the ratio of gunpowder.

Suddenly, a small pile of black powder appeared in front of the four of them.

"Your Highness, this is it?" Lu Tong asked, looking excited, this process is not dangerous.

"Well, it's done." Xiao Ming was just scaring Lu Tong just now, there was no danger in grinding the three materials separately, but now it was really dangerous.

Lu Tong had only heard of such a thing as gunpowder before, but he had never seen it before, so he said, "Your Highness, how to use this gunpowder?" ”

The first gunpowder in Qingzhou was born under his hands, and Xiao Ming was also a little excited, he took out some of this gunpowder and took it to a farther place.

Then take a small twig and light it on the candle.

"That's how it works." After Xiao Ming finished speaking, he touched the gunpowder with a branch, and with a "bang", the gunpowder on the ground suddenly made a soft sound, followed by a thick cyan smoke and gunpowder smell.

"Ah......" Luluo was not mentally prepared yet, so she screamed in fright and hid behind Xiao Ming's back.

Although the aster is bold, it is also a little pale.

The gunpowder burned very quickly, and after a burst of white light, it disappeared, how could they have seen such a strange thing, and they didn't know and thought it was witchcraft.

Lu Tong originally looked worried, but now that he has really seen gunpowder, he is not afraid.

"Your Highness, this gunpowder burns really fast." Lu Tong said, "But that's all, you can't kill the barbarians." ”

"Of course not, but you'll see if you can." Xiao Ming beckoned, and a servant came over with a cylindrical object.

Lu Tong saw it and asked, "Your Highness, what is this?" ”

Xiao Ming laughed, this thing was actually the shell of a firecracker that he had the servants roll up with paper.

At this time, the underside of this firecracker has been sealed with yellow mud, and a hole is left on it for gunpowder.

"You'll find out tomorrow." Xiao Ming picked up the gunpowder and put it in, and took some yellow mud to stuff the top of the firecracker.

At the same time, a needle was used to leave a hole in it, which would be used for ignition in the future.

After doing this, Xiao Ming took this firecracker to dry, and when the yellow mud on it solidified, this firecracker could be used.

Originally, Xiao Ming wanted to teach Lu Tong how to use the cold-mixed granulated gunpowder by the way, but it was too late to make the black powder, so he was going to leave it for tomorrow.

Let Lu Tong come back tomorrow, Xiao Ming asked Aster to clean up his things, and this gunpowder production teaching is over.

Seeing Lu Tong away, Aster and Pothos did not go back to rest, but followed behind Xiao Ming.

Stretching his waist, Xiao Ming said strangely: "Why don't you go back?" ”

"Your Highness works day and night for government affairs, and now you have to work hard for the barbarians to go south, Lu Luo and I can't help Your Highness in government affairs, we can always serve Your Highness more in life." Aster said obediently.

Xiao Ming looked at the two, in fact, since ancient times, people have been comparing hearts to each other.

These days, Xiao Ming is good to the subordinates of the palace, and these subordinates are naturally grateful to Xiao Ming.

The servants in the palace worked harder than before.

"It is said that Qin Wei will not let Xu Mei, who said that you can't help this king in government affairs, I need your help with something then." Xiao Ming said suddenly.

Now Qingzhou belongs to the quiet period before the war, and everyone here has to use it as much as possible.

Aster was surprised, "What does Your Highness need us to do?" ”

These days, the armor of the Qingzhou Army is temporarily solved, but the Qingzhou Army can't wear armor with a bare butt.

And this involves the issue of army clothes, shoes, etc.

The barbarians are just around the corner, and Xiao Ming has to temporarily switch to the first army mode during this time, all for the sake of the army.

At present, many soldiers of the Qingzhou Army wear straw shoes and hemp rope shoes, so it is inevitable that problems will arise when marching.

So Xiao Ming thought about how to let the soldiers wear cloth shoes, and in this era, male workers and women weave, if they want to solve this problem, they must organize the majority of women to participate in this labor.

However, it is naturally inappropriate for men to come forward in this matter, because women in this era basically do not go out of the door, and they do not step out of the second door.

It would be different if asters and pothos were involved in this matter.

First, they are the people next to Xiao Ming, their prestige is enough, and no one dares to mess with them, and secondly, both of them are proficient in women's weaving and are more familiar with this.

It is only fitting that the two of them participate in the formation of the first female textile factory and quilt factory of this era, otherwise the loom technology he mastered would not be a waste.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming told the two of them his thoughts, and Aster and Pothos immediately laughed when they heard this.

"Your Highness, we can help with this matter, but when will Your Highness also know how to spin." Aster covered her mouth and laughed.

In this era, male workers and women weave, this is purely a woman's thing, and it is inevitable that Aster will laugh.
