The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 92 The Big Killer

After waiting for two days, Lao Zhu was free here. He notified in advance and walked to a secret base. The base was heavily guarded, with three steps for one post and five steps for one sentry. There were patrolling soldiers everywhere.

The accompanying officials introduced the results to Lao Zhu.

"Your Majesty, the one in front is made of nitroglycerin from the drug bureau. Let's try it out. It can be detonated directly with gunpowder. Such a small bottle, with gunpowder, can blow up a big hole, which is dozens of times more powerful than gunpowder. However, it is difficult to transport. If it vibrates slightly, it will explode. Many people have died because of this."

"Those who died should take good care of the aftermath. You should be more concerned. Since you said that this thing is powerful, you put one in and let's see what happens."

"Wei Chen has added a lot of things to that thing, please Your Majesty Rong Weichen to add some scarecrows, so that we can intuitively see its power."

"Okay, just as you said, let's bring a pair of eyes to take a look."

"Your Majesty, please stay far away, in case your majesty is disturbed, you will not be redeemed."

Lao Zhu didn't say much, and left obediently. Seeing Lao Zhu leave, the officials issued instructions.

The priming powder is blazing and heading towards the jar containing the explosives. First, the jar can be seen to be blown up, and then the entire jar explodes violently, splashing debris.

The scarecrow was cut to pieces by the scattered fragments, and the shock wave from the explosion knocked the scarecrow upside down, leaving a big crater in place.

Lao Zhu, who was far away, could still feel a wave of air after the explosion, and looked into the distance in horror. Lao Zhu resisted his horror and walked forward blankly.

"Is this the dynamite made of nitroglycerin? Get some more, I'm afraid it can blow up a mountain."

"Your Majesty, I feel that it should be ok, and I also tried adding some nitroglycerin, and the power has indeed greatly increased."

Lao Zhu, who gradually calmed down, looked at the messy ground in front of him, and then showed ecstasy.

"Haha, such a killer weapon is inconvenient to transport. As long as you put a few cans on the way of the army, not to mention how many people can be killed, the morale blow alone is unimaginable. If you want to attack the city wall, use some. The high wall is useless. Just blast him and finish the job, and the world will not be far away."

"Your Majesty is blessed with the same blessings as the heavens, and the destiny has returned. We congratulate Your Majesty."

"Okay, there are many rewards. Each person will be rewarded with five bolts of cloth, and you will be rewarded with ten bolts of brocade."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

"Since the power is so great, can firecrackers and cannons be used, and the power is even greater?"

Lao Zhu's sudden words made the leading officials lower their heads in embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, it is true. Even if the dose is reduced a lot, it is still much more powerful than gunpowder. However, our cannons and firecrackers cannot withstand such a large force, and they are easy to explode. There is no good way here."

The excited old Zhu was poured with cold water, and gradually restrained his smile. In this way, the usefulness of the explosives was greatly reduced.

"You said earlier that there are other uses, what are they?"

"Your Majesty, you can also open mountains and break rocks, and the power of firearms is also greater."

nxp, can you take back the reward you promised just now, and just ruin your own cloth.

"That's it. You have worked hard. If it can be easily transported, even if this thing can't increase the power of firearms, these alone will be enough."

"The minister is incompetent."

Later, Lao Zhu followed the officials to watch the effect of the explosion of cannons and firecrackers with nitroglycerin, and ended the trip with a little regret.

On the way back, I kept thinking about it. Such a great power is really a bit blind.

Mao Xiang, who was like a shadow, looked at Lao Zhu's somewhat dissatisfied expression, and said quietly.

"Your Majesty, the nitroglycerin was created by Zheng Tiling of Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau. Why don't you go and ask Zheng Tiling, maybe he has a way."

One word awakened the dreamer, Mao Xiang's words made some sense, Zheng Xiong had done so many things, it's okay to ask, just in case.

"Then you make a trip and bring ten pieces of brocade along the way, and reward him with a hundred copper coins and ask him to withdraw it at the pharmacy."

Mao Xiang got the order and hurried to the pharmacy.

"Zheng Xiong and Zheng Tiling of the Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau received the order."

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said, Huimin Pharmacy Bureau Zheng Xiong has made great achievements, and a special reward of ten pieces of brocade and a hundred copper coins is hereby."

Zheng Xiong looked at the ten pieces of brocade in front of him, and then carefully looked at the things he brought. That's right, it was ten pieces of brocade. Where is the money?
As if seeing Zheng Xiong's doubts, Mao Xiang spoke at the right time.

"Your Majesty has an order. You can withdraw it at the pharmacy. In addition, Your Majesty asked me to come and ask if there is any way to solve the transportation of nitroglycerin."

There is also this kind of operation, which is outrageous, and I have never heard of it.

Nitroglycerin wants to be more stable. He also knows that since Pandora's box has been released, Zheng Xiong no longer hesitates.

"There is still a method, you can add wood chips to try."

Zheng Xiong didn't say much about the others. Kui soil is less effective than wood chips, and fibrous nitrocellulose and diatom mud involve a blind spot in knowledge.

Mao Xiang was a little excited when he got the answer, and Lao Zhu was happy. As the one who put forward his opinion, he must be rewarded by himself. As for Zheng Xiong's contribution, it goes without saying.

Mao Xiang rushed all the way to the palace non-stop, came to Lao Zhu and said hastily.

"Your Majesty, good news, Zheng Tiling said that adding some sawdust will do."

When one thing passes through the mouths of two people, the meaning is completely different, and it becomes an affirmative sentence.

"Zheng Xiong are you sure you said that?"

Lao Zhu was still a little uncertain, so he asked again.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. Zheng Tiling said it himself in front of the last general."

"Great, you go over there again and ask them to add some sawdust."

Zheng Xiong took the imperial decree, first completed the teaching task for a day, and then called Wu You with the imperial decree.

"Look, this is an imperial decree issued by His Majesty. He gave a reward, but he didn't bring any money. Let me withdraw it at the pharmacy. You can be a witness to me."

Public is public, private is private, no matter how cautious this issue is, it will be gone after sixty years of corruption.

Compared with what punishments can't get you a doctor, this hundred guan is a huge sum of money that has been passed down to this day, and Lao Zhu doesn't care about you.

Under the witness of Wu You, Zheng Xiong completed the withdrawal of the money, called a few bodyguards on the construction site, and brought the hundred coins home.

The family members were very happy to see that Zheng Xiong brought the reward home. Money is secondary, the key is the sense of satisfaction in it.

Putting the imperial decree in his hand into the imperial decree that was being enshrined in the censer, Zheng Xiong gave several strong men a reward of [-] Wen each, and sent them away.

My sister-in-law Zheng Qian looked at Zheng Xiong more and more curiously. After staying for a long time, she could feel Zheng Xiong's difference more and more. She couldn't figure out how such a lazy person was treated differently by Lao Zhu.

On the other side, the Ministry of Officials has arranged for Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau to appoint a deputy chief, who will only take office after completing the procedures.
