617 Chang'an Fever (II)

"But you still haven't said what the weapon is." Li Erma Xià questioned Suning, Suning saw that Li Ermaxi still didn't understand, so he pointed at Li Tai and said: "The reason why the explosion occurred is that Qingque is testing the power of gunpowder, Qingque, you say, how did you do it?" ”

Li Tai's eyes lit up and said: "According to the teacher's statement, the gunpowder was installed in a sealed jar, and then a lead was left outside, because I was worried that others would know what I was doing, so I had to run to the abandoned room, and then ignite the fuse, and put the wooden bed up to protect myself, but I didn't expect that the power of the explosion of this thing was really not small, so I didn't do a thorough defense, so I didn't do a thorough defense, so I took a slight injury to my arm." ”

After Li Tai finished speaking, before Li Er Majesty and Empress Changsun could react, Suning continued: "Qingque has consciously defended, and erected a wooden bed to hide in a considerable distance, but it was still affected by the explosion of gunpowder, that room is not small, so at least it can be determined that the gunpowder used by Qingque has the power to blow up a room, although it has just been successfully tested, but it can also be imagined, if it is placed on the battlefield, what use will it be?"

Perhaps the power is still up for debate, and it will not cause large-scale casualties to the enemy, but is that sound enough? Even the palace people were frightened, it seemed that the people of Chang'an City could hear it, if such a violent sound suddenly sounded on the battlefield, it would definitely be able to deter the enemy army, or make the enemy's war horses frightened, so that the formation was in chaos, and our army was prepared, and it was completely possible to take the opportunity to raid, so that it would be possible. Our army will win!

What's more, this gunpowder has just been developed, there must still be some deficiencies, if you continue to research, use gunpowder in more aspects, point out more weapons that can use gunpowder, and even use the power of this gunpowder explosion to hurt people, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army is already strong, in this way, like a tiger with wings, isn't it wonderful? ”

Li Er frowned and pondered for a moment. I had to nod: "Although the power is not too great." It was only a small house, but the sound was terrible, if there were no enemy soldiers on the battlefield who had heard such a sound. Suddenly shocked by this gunpowder. It's going to be a big mess. The horses were frightened and fled in all directions, which took a lot of effort from the palace people. The sound was indeed terrifying, like thunder. ”

Empress Eldest Sun also palpitated: "Indeed, this sudden explosion made the concubine's body also take a big jump, and the loudest thunder I had ever heard before was not so loud, and it was a good day with no clouds, where would there be thunder?" ”

Suning continued: "So, this kind of gunpowder may be able to become the latest weapon of my Datang Dynasty together with the incendiary canister, the incendiary canister can be filled with fuel oil and thrown out to kill the enemy, and gunpowder can also be packed in the canister and ignited...... Well, it seems that if you throw it out, the jar will break, and the gunpowder without a sealed space doesn't seem to have that much power, so you can't put it in the jar......"

Suning fell into contemplation as he spoke, and even Li Tai also fell into contemplation, Li Er Majesty and Empress Changsun felt a little funny inexplicably, and suddenly woke up, this is clearly an interrogation conference, and by the way, they also have to punish these two little guys who don't know the height of the sky, but the two of them began to discuss how to improve Datang's weapons? However, that's pretty good, at least don't bother them for now, and let them think about it......

Suning didn't expect it, but Li Tai suddenly realized: "Teacher, as long as you throw it out and don't break it, isn't it?" The clay pot will break, and the porcelain will also break, but if you make something like a jar out of wood, won't it break? The porcelain bowl used in the past will be broken, but the used wooden bowl has never been broken, make a zuò jar out of wood, then pour gunpowder into it, add a fuse, ignite it, throw it out, and it can explode! ”

Suning also suddenly realized, patted his head and said, "What kind of wood to use?" Wood still has to ask the carpenter master to spend a lot of effort and a long time to make zuò, just use bamboo? The bamboo is section by section, and the inside is directly hollow, and it doesn't need to be hollowed out, as long as the bamboo is cut into section by section, it can be used directly, isn't it? ”

Li Taiyi clapped his hands: "That's right! Just use bamboo! Come! Come! Go and chop bamboo for this king! Hurry up! Li Tai was about to get out of bed as he spoke, as if there was no one around, Suning also wanted to make the world's first gunpowder weapon in person and witness the birth of the world's first gunpowder weapon, so he also rushed out, completely forgetting about Li Er's majesty and the eldest grandson empress, leaving the two of them stunned, not knowing what to do......

It wasn't until Suning and Li Tai had already rushed far away that Empress Eldest Sun reacted: "Oops! Bastard boy! He who came today to cure his sins! Why did you let him run! This, so is the green sparrow, why did it become like this?! Erlang, let's, let's ......" Empress Changsun was speechless.

Li Er Majesty was also a little depressed, but then stood up and said with a little smile: "Let them toss first, this year is the time to toss, and they are in the palace, they can be punished at any time, but this flash of inspiration is not always available, I have a hunch, these two boys will definitely be able to make a very terrible weapon, gunpowder, hehe, unheard of, but the power is strong, it also surprises me, if it is really feasible, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army will definitely rise."

Guanyin, don't worry, this punishment can't be escaped, but take a look first, see what they can toss, it's not too late to punish after reading it, my Datang has always rewarded and punished clearly, they have established meritorious deeds, and they also want to be rewarded, let's go, let's go and see what they can come up with! ”

As soon as Li Tai's guards heard the master's request, they immediately cut a lot of bamboo, and now the bamboo still grows well, and it can't be held in one hand, it is estimated that it is as thick as the bottle of the nutrition express line, which is quite enough, and then according to Suning's requirements, the guards cut the bamboo into sections by section, and the front and back of a section of bamboo are closed, so they made a hole, and asked Li Tai to take the gunpowder that was made of zuò, pour it into the bamboo, and pour more than half of it. before stopping.

But then there is another problem, in addition to the need for a small hole for the lead, how to plug this obviously large hole? The two fell into confusion, and it happened that at this time, a group of maids walked in with several large porcelain vases, and Suning looked at it, his eyes lit up: "Clay!" The clay used to make the zuò porcelain vase can be mixed with water, but it will become very viscous if it is still for a period of time, so we may be able to give it a try! ”

Li Tai's eyes lit up, and then he hesitated: "Is this okay?" ”

Suning waved his hand: "No matter." I can't think of a better way to do it right now. I can only give it a try, no matter what, if there is a better way in the future. Just improve it a little more. It is now imperative to determine whether this is possible or not. Whether it can cause casualties or not, these things will be discussed later! ”

Li Tai nodded: "That's it!" Come! Go to the workshop in the palace and get some clay! This king wants to use it! ”

Li Tai's personal guards immediately rushed out again, and after a while, they rushed back. Holding a large ball of clay that had been added with water, Suning paid attention when he left his hand, well, although the porcelain of the Tang Dynasty is not very mature, but the clay is still there, and the viscosity is also good, you can try it.

Li Tai put the lead into the small hole, Suning pinched out a small ball of clay and stuck it on the hole, blocking the hole, and then Suning picked up the world's first gunpowder weapon that was very likely to successfully explode, looked at Li Tai, Li Tai also looked at Suning, with a look of excitement, Suning nodded at Li Tai, ready to go out to test it, didn't take a few steps, Li Erma Xià and the eldest grandson queen came to the real yàn room, saw the bamboo tube in Suning's hand, and said in surprise: "That's it?" ”

Suning raised the bamboo tube and said: "For the time being, it can only be like this, if you want to improve it, you can only improve it later, Your Majesty, the minister asked to personally test the power and lethality of gunpowder weapons." ”

Empress Eldest Sun's face tightened: "Ridiculous! Don't allow this, Fang Cai's experiment has already been injured, do you want to do the same? What's more, the palace has already been in chaos, do you want to mess up again? The people are panicking, the ministers are terrified, you really don't want to die? Don't be in the palace! ”

Li Erma waved his hand and said with a smile: "If this matter is successful, it will definitely be a good thing for my Datang, just say that it is my idea, and they are carried out under my orders." ”

Empress Changsun shouted with some annoyance: "Your Majesty! ”

Li Ermajesty still waved his hand, indicating that he had decided, Suning was overjoyed, originally thought that he would be severely punished, who knew that the emperor actually took the initiative to carry the black cauldron, haha, so happy, looking at Li Tai also laughed, he should also be excited about it......

"What are you two happy about? I'm just saying that I'll take the opinions of the ministers, did I say that you two don't need to be punished? Li Tai, as a prince, you don't know how to pay attention to your own safety, and it is too rampant to rashly carry out such a dangerous experiment! You will be punished for not leaving the palace for three months, and you will not be allowed to engage in relevant experiments for three months, so you can reflect on yourself in the palace and cut off a hundred households! Transcribe the "Three Character Sutra" a hundred times as a punishment! ”

Li Tai's face drooped, it doesn't matter if the rest is okay, he is not allowed to do it for three months, isn't this killing him? And to transcribe the three-character scripture, oh my God! Suning is even more depressed, he is the mastermind, he is definitely not much better, he will have to pay it back sooner or later......

"Suning! As a prince, he didn't know etiquette so much, he didn't report to me in advance about doing such a dangerous thing, he didn't warn Li Tai much about the danger, and let him do it, which caused chaos in the palace, and it would cause panic among the ministers, and the people were terrified. Li Erma said viciously.

Suning raised his eyebrows, alas? This punishment doesn't seem to be very heavy!

Looking up at Li Erma, he saw that there was not a little annoyance on his face, but the unkind look on the face of the eldest grandson queen, Suning shrunk his neck and thanked him......

Then, Li Er ordered the people in the palace not to worry about what sound they heard, not to walk around, what to do, to cover their ears with their hands when they got close, in order to test how strong the power of gunpowder was, he pulled a dog from the palace, tied it to a tree, and put the bamboo tube under him, so that Suning was shocked for a while, and then put his hands together and prayed for this dog, you dedicate yourself to hot weapons, good and good, you can be a human being the next time you are reincarnated, my Buddha is compassionate......

Li Ermajesty doesn't care about these, he only cares about whether the gunpowder weapon has the power to kill him, in order to show his majesty, he is also very narcissistic and ordered someone to move a chair, and sat not far away, Empress Changsun hugged Li Tai far away, Li Tai looked helpless, he also wanted to get closer, but the mother's life could not be done, Suning, as a guilty person, was personally responsible for lighting the fuse.

Walking to the side of the dog that was fixed, looking at the horror in its eyes, and its slightly trembling body, Suning closed his eyes, took a deep breath, put down the bamboo tube, and then lit the fuse, and then walked back quickly, and came to stand still in front of Li Erma's side a few hundred meters away, and did not cover his ears, Li Ermaxi laughed for a while: "You don't have to cover your ears?" ”

Suning nodded: "Your Majesty is by your side, what is there to cover?" ”

Li Erma smiled without saying a word, quietly looking not far away, Suning looked around, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this summer, Chang'an is really hot! (To be continued......)
