Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 48 Thunder Bomb

……

It is said that Tang Xuanci was dismissed from his official position and fined for three years. The incidents of massacre in Cui's house and beating of Shaofu were settled by Li Shimin.

After this incident, Mr. Tang's reputation as a vicious villain in the court and the country was epically strengthened. No matter whether the imperial physician's claim of hyperthyroidism was true or false, no one dared to provoke him easily.

Some masters who have playboys at home directly ordered people to draw the appearance of Chen Xiaoke and the sons and daughters of the Yin family, and told their eldest sons to remember them by heart and not to be smart if they meet them in entertainment venues!

Tang Xuanci was unemployed at home, and the places he spent most of his time every day were the gym, the laboratory, and Tongxuan Temple.

In order to obtain more resources from Lei Yizi, he went to the temple to burn incense every few days, and spent a huge amount of money to renovate the temple and reshape the statues of the Three Pure Ones.

The holy monk and the Taoist temple were in a fierce relationship. When the news spread among the common people, it immediately caused a lot of speculation.

Originally, Tang Xuanci thought that this matter would definitely stimulate the Buddhist community, and when they got anxious, perhaps they could get the best of both worlds.

But strangely, the Buddhist representative was uncharacteristically calm and didn't come to find him.

Time flies and more than a month has passed.

On this day, the chemistry laboratory was filled with suffocating heat.

Several Tang Dynasty craftsmen had already retreated because they could not bear it.

Only Tang Xuanci and Aqian, who had been a fire slave since childhood, were left in the hall, staring at a red cauldron.

This furnace is only the size of one that two people can hug together, but it is made of extraordinary material. It was borrowed by Tang Xuanci from Lei Yizi Temple.

It is also equipped with a huge round chassis, on which is burning a cluster of flames that are neither blue nor purple.

The high temperature in the entire room was caused by it. The small space around the cauldron was almost completely distorted, and only a blur could be seen with the naked eye.

Not long after, the color of the flame at the bottom of the stove changed from green to red, and finally returned to the normal color of charcoal fire, and the temperature in the room also dropped.

Seeing this, Aqian wiped his sweat, immediately put out the fire, opened the furnace, and took out the materials inside.

Tang Xuanci ripped off his shirt, and all 639 muscles in his body woke up like hibernating beasts, bursting out with tremendous strength, assisting him in forging, single-point cutting, drilling, and cold forging...

After a fierce operation, they got a gray gun barrel.

"It worked, Master Tang. I think this one is perfect and will definitely be able to complete the gas-guided automatic cycle."

A Qian held the gun barrel with both hands and skillfully spoke the professional terms taught to him by Tang Xuanci.

“You’ll know after trying it. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.”

Tang Xuanci didn't even look at it, and walked straight to a table with the gun barrel.

There were a lot of scattered items on it, including bullets, springs, grips, magazines, trigger components, and four assembled guns, namely:
2 revolvers based on the Smith & Wesson Model 500;
1 AK47 made of metal and hardwood;

1 Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle without a mount, sights, or recoil reduction design.

Tang Xuanci picked up the AK47 and took it apart with a few clicks. He replaced the original barrel with the one he had just made, and then put it back together with a few more clicks.

The speed is very fast~
In Aqian's eyes, it was like a pleasing work of art, which made him admire it very much.

"Da", "Da"~
Tang Xuanci listened to the sound of the firing pin firing in the air, picked up the magazine loaded with 30 rounds of bullets, loaded it, raised the gun with one hand, aimed at the steel plate standing more than ten meters away and pulled the trigger.

"Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu..."

The magazine was emptied in two and a half seconds, and bullets poured out, verifying the seamless operation of the gas-operated automatic cycle.

Tang Xuanci held the gun with one hand, still as steady as an old dog, so that all the bullets hit an area the size of his palm.

"Congratulations, Master Tang. Now the hardness of these four guns is comparable to that of divine weapons. Once we can make that kind of high-powered 'lightning bomb', I'm afraid that even a Golden Immortal will be destroyed if he hits the muzzle of the gun!" Ah Qian exaggeratedly flattered him and couldn't help but think of the magic sword refined by the previous owner. He felt that the thing was just scrap metal next to the current owner's magic gun.

No matter how sharp the knife is, can an ordinary person defeat a warrior with it?

But the situation with guns is completely different. If you give him an AK47 now, Aqian would dare to challenge any master on the Grandmaster list.

After hearing what he said, Xuan Ci laughed like a villain, swung the AK47 and smashed it hard on the anvil several times.

Looking at the dented and deformed anvil and the gun barrel without any signs of wear, he said with satisfaction:
"It's not just hardness, it's also strength, toughness, and structural stability. I estimate that if you put C4 into these four guns and detonate them, they won't explode."

"Fourth Aunt Four?"

"That's a type of explosive, much more powerful than black powder."

"Can we use it to fill bullets and use it as propellant?" Aqian asked without understanding.

"The performance isn't quite right, and our current chemical engineering capabilities aren't enough to produce it. Making a 'thunder bomb' is the fastest way to go."

As Tang Xuanci spoke, he threw down the AK47, picked up the thick and long Barrett, pushed a black iron bullet the size of a baby's arm directly into the chamber, and pulled the bolt.

He still held the gun with one hand, but this time he placed the butt of the gun against his shoulder socket, then aimed at the iron target and pulled the trigger.

With a "puff" sound, the black iron bullet easily penetrated the steel plate and shot into the black iron log behind it.

Tang Xuanci's body only trembled slightly.

There was no need to check the depth of penetration into the wood. Just by feeling the recoil, he knew that the power was far from reaching the limit of the gun and himself as the user.

To increase power~
It is actually very simple to say it is simple. All you need to do is fill the bullet with propellant that is strong enough and a primer that can ignite it.

But it is difficult, because it is unknown when it will take to synthesize double-base or triple-base gunpowder purely relying on technology.

Fortunately, the Defense Council of Xuanci's mother planet established the 749th Research Institute during the war, which specialized in conducting research combining metaphysics and science through captured spoils of war and intelligence from immortal prisoners of war.

Although intelligence and resources are limited, metaphysics is highly dependent on the powerful spiritual consciousness of cultivators, making research very difficult.

But there are still some results.

For example, there are detailed experimental data for more than 20 kinds of explosives developed by combining metaphysical materials in Tang Xuanci's database.

Weapons experts also used several of them to create two conceptual bullets in the laboratory.

During this period, Tang Xuanci asked Shaobei to scan all the information in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, the Sutra Library of the Taimiao, and the Tongxuan Temple. He compared and searched the materials in the data with the substances that could be found in the three realms, and determined the feasibility of developing one of the conceptual bombs.

Because its propellant is mainly composed of "nitrated lightning-struck black ironwood fiber" and its primer is mainly composed of "acidified lightning-struck mountain copper", it is named:

Lightning bomb.

Now, Tang Xuanci has already made the propellant, and its power is indeed amazing. If the existing materials are directly made into a bomb and detonated, it will definitely blow Fahai to pieces.

However, since "mountain copper" that has been struck by lightning for more than three hundred years is too difficult to find, the primer for the lightning bomb cannot be made yet.

Tang Xuanci naturally tried every means to get Lei Yizi to get it, but this guy couldn't get this material no matter what, so he finally told him directly:
"There is only one place near Chang'an, and that is Lingye Temple on the top of Lieque Mountain, more than 600 miles to the north.

"There's a large hall in this temple, constantly tempered by lightning and fire. The tiles on the roof are all made of mountain copper, a rare material used for alchemy.

"If you only want one under a hundred years, maybe we can find a way to exchange it.

"But they treasure those that are over three hundred years old. Besides, I have some grievances with Lingye Temple, so I definitely can't get them."
