274. Gunpowder
"Qingfeng Daotong, since you follow me, then don't use the 'Qingfeng' Dao name." Jingwen said.
Qingfeng asked suspiciously: "If you don't need a road number, what is it used?" ”
"Let's just use the daimyō!" Jingwen said.
But the breeze said, "After my name was picked up from the master, he gave me a Taoist name called Qingfeng. That's because when Master picked me up, there was a fresh breeze outside. Later, the patriarch taught me until now. I don't have a big name at all! ”
Jingwen couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy, and he couldn't find his biological parents in his body, but fortunately, he still had his own name in his swaddling clothes, otherwise the master and adoptive father would have to give him another name. He is luckier than him, and he has his own name, but this breeze simply has no name.
"Then you can also give yourself a name, as for the surname, you can do it yourself!" Jingwen said.
Qingfeng thought for a moment and said, "Since my ancestor is surnamed Yuan, then I will also follow the surname Yuan." As for the name, I'll help you think of one! ”
"Since you want to have the surname Yuan, then the thing you study is called chemistry, then it is called Yuan Hua." Jingwen said.
"Oh, I have a name!" Qingfeng, oh no, Yuan Hua began to jump up and shout.
"Alright, you can get me the ratio of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal that you made before!" Jingwen said.
Yuan Hua asked, "My lord, what do you want these for?" ”
"Of course, I want to study and study, and I can tell you a way to make the 'damnation' more violent." Jingwen said.
"Really? Can you make the damnation more violent? Ok, good, good! Yuan Hua shouted excitedly.
Jingwen couldn't help but be a little worried, this Yuan Hua was so enthusiastic about "heaven's punishment", maybe it was a situation where children love to play. But if he is allowed to play like this, then I am afraid that there will be a real problem. There are a lot of dangerous things in chemistry, and if he is allowed to do this, then who knows what will go wrong! But if you don't let him get it. I am afraid that it will not be possible to develop chemistry, and I am afraid that even gunpowder will not be able to be invented.
Jingwen looked at the formula given by Yuan Hua, and immediately saw that the formula of this gunpowder was not the best formula, and the formula of this gunpowder was obviously too much charcoal. Even, there are a lot of messy things, even mercury is in it. Where is this gunpowder, it is simply poison. However, since Jingwen came, and Jingwen's chemical knowledge had not been returned to the teacher, he quickly understood how to get this gunpowder. As long as there are some things and recipes that have the right stuff, it won't be a problem to make the most powerful gunpowder.
"Alright. You wait for me to use this recipe, and then you can make that gunpowder, and then bring it to me!" Jingwen said.
Twelve-year-old Yuan Hua looked at this recipe and said, "Didn't this reduce my formula by a lot and change the proportions?" What's in this? ”
"You know what? This is the perfect proportion, you can figure it out for me. Jingwen said.
Soon, Yuan Hua came up with the so-called gunpowder, and then Jingwen didn't let him, Xiao Zhengtai, touch the gunpowder himself. Because this little Zhengtai is still too young, if there is an accident, it will be troublesome. Jingwen directly hired some people from outside to help make these or gunpowder into a piece with egg whites. Afterwards. Yuan Hua looked at the lumpy gunpowder, as if he was very curious, he didn't know what this black powder was made of.
"Don't move, you want to kill us!" Jingwen said.
Yuan Hua was immediately unhappy. seems to be very complaining about Jingwen's appearance. Jingwen also shook his head, feeling that he had a bad attitude, because a twelve-year-old Xiao Zhengtai like Yuan Hua was in the stage of being curious about everything in the world. Will he scold him like this, will it discourage him?
"Okay, Yuan Hua. This is a very dangerous thing, so don't move around when you don't know him. If you mess around, it's going to be very dangerous. Do you understand? Jingwen asked.
"Got it!" Yuan Hua said.
Jingwen carefully put the well-made block gunpowder on the ground, and then used a rope mixed with gunpowder to pull it dozens of meters away. And Jingwen used a fire breaker to ignite the lead mixed with gunpowder, and then the lead began to burn violently. The fuse burned faster and faster, and soon burned to the spot where the lumpy gunpowder was.
"Get down!" Jingwen shouted.
"Oh!" Yuan Hua agreed.
Jingwen and Yuan Hua both lay down, and the sparks in the distance had already burned to the position of gunpowder.
"Boom!" There was a loud bang.
Even if Jingwen and Yuan Hua took the picture, they still felt a wave of air waves rushing in front of them, and their heads were cold. And Jingwen knew that the gunpowder he invented this time was successful. With this gunpowder, many weapons will be able to continue research in the future. And gunpowder can bring about far more changes than just weapons. Even human civilization will be changed because of gunpowder, which is an important tool for human beings to conquer nature. Why is there more inventions in China, but history only recognizes these four major inventions? Because these four great inventions have far-reaching influence. Papermaking and movable type printing can reduce the cost of cultural transmission, allow more people to learn culture, and make the whole human race progress in all aspects. And the compass can allow people to open up more land, and finally allow humans to reproduce better. As for gunpowder, it is not for nothing that it can be used to allow humans to conquer nature. Before the invention of gunpowder, human beings encountered a treacherous environment, which was to go around and dare not face it directly. And with gunpowder, you can choose to explode when you encounter a mountain, and you can explode when you encounter an obstacle, and this gunpowder really allows human beings to open the way in every mountain. Therefore, the four great inventions can be called the four great inventions because they have a huge impact on human beings. Other inventions cannot be compared with these four great inventions in the sense of human history. Now that Jingwen has invented it, he has accounted for three of the four major inventions, so who will dare to despise him in the historical classics in the future?
"Okay, Yuan Hua, have you remembered this recipe?" Jingwen asked.
Yuan Hua nodded and said, "Remember, in the future, I will follow this method to make zuò gunpowder." But what good can this gunpowder be if it can explode? ”
"You'll find out later! This gunpowder is an invention that affects our entire world! Jingwen said.
Jingwen took Yuan Hua and rode back to Pingyu County on a fast horse, preparing to form the first firearms unit in history. (To be continued......)
