Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 372 Black Gunpowder

Yu Wenkai's work efficiency was very fast, and he started his experiment directly in front of Wang Mang.

"This black thing will burn to generate high temperature. The temperature in the core area is very high, not lower than the temperature in the center of the iron-making furnace. In addition, it is easy to burn and extremely dangerous."

After a while, Yu Wenkai told Wang Mang about his research results.

"What's in it?" Wang Mang asked again, he vaguely felt that this thing might be the one he knew.

"There must be things like sulfur and saltpeter." Yu Wenkai said directly: "As for the ingredients, this is easy to identify. As long as you find the craftsman who made this thing at that time, you can quickly know the ingredients of this thing."

call!
Gunpowder, black powder!

Wang Mang often exhaled. Judging from its ingredients and basic functions, it must be something that changed the history of human warfare to a certain extent in his previous life.

Yu Wenkai looked at Wang Mang strangely, and said, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"Yu Wenkai." Wang Mang looked at Yu Wenkai and said seriously: "Now I tell you, the thing in your hand is officially listed as one of the top secrets of the Great Qin Dynasty. This thing, now I named it black powder, from now on In the beginning, Zoumifang produced black powder in large quantities, regardless of cost or cost, and I will be useful."

Yu Wenkai was taken aback at that time, he had never seen Wang Mang talking to him so seriously, he couldn't understand for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, this is just a burning ball, is it really so important?"

Wang Mang glared at Yu Wenkai, and said: "The high temperature is generated in an instant, I ask you, if this thing is compressed and stored in a closed space, what will happen?"

"Explosion!" Yu Wenkai said directly: "High-temperature fryers are common sense."

"Very good, then I ask you, what will happen if you put this explosive thing on the battlefield?" Wang Mang asked again.

Yu Wenkai was taken aback for a moment. He had never considered using the things he studied for war. Now that Wang Mang said this, at his level, he naturally quickly thought of the huge destructive power that this "black powder" would cause when used on the battlefield.

Regardless of Wang Mang's presence, Yu Wenkai took out a pen and paper and quickly listed the formulas on the paper to calculate. After a while, Yu Wenkai took a breath, looked at Wang Mang in shock and said, "Your Majesty, this black Gunpowder is indeed top secret."

"Have you figured it out?" Wang Mang said.

"I just calculated the heat generated by each kilogram of black powder, and calculated the explosive force generated by this heat in a confined space. I found that if ten kilograms of black powder burn at the same time, the explosive force produced by it will If the martial artist who will threaten the leather refining realm is handled carefully, I calculated that [-] kilograms of black powder can directly blow up the warrior in the leather refining realm, and after a rough calculation, I found that [-] kilograms of black powder would produce The explosive power is enough to threaten innate masters." Yu Wenkai said with a look of horror: "This black powder must never exist in the hands of ordinary people, it is too lethal."

Twenty kilograms of black powder can blow up a skin-level martial artist to death, and one thousand kilograms of black powder can threaten a congenital master?

Wang Mang only knew that black powder was powerful based on previous knowledge, but Wang Mang didn't know how powerful black powder was. Now that Yu Wenkai said this, Wang Mang's emphasis on black powder has risen to another level.

After thinking for a while, Wang Mang said: "Secretly collect the materials for refining black powder, and refine a batch of black powder as quickly as possible. It will be of great use to me."

Yu Wenkai nodded earnestly. As a technocrat, Yu Wenkai has always been meticulous in completing the tasks issued by his superiors, not to mention the black powder. Yu Wenkai vaguely felt that this was a great invention. It may go down in history forever, but at the same time, as a technical man, Yu Wenkai is already thinking about a hundred ways to use black powder in his mind.

Thinking of the black powder and the straight road being built recently, Yu Wenkai asked while Wang Mang was still there, "Your Majesty, can this black powder be used to build the straight road? I feel that if this black powder is used to build the straight road, the straight road will be fine." The construction speed can be doubled."

"Yes, it can also be used to build water conservancy projects. In short, any place that can be used for people's livelihood can be used, but the technical materials must be kept secret and no one will know." Wang Mang said: "Of course, don't use it now, you just refine it. , I want to give South Korea a big surprise."

Yu Wenkai looked serious, and immediately understood why Wang Mang listed this black powder as top secret. The biggest reason was South Korea. Thinking of such a big killer suddenly appearing on the battlefield, Yu Wenkai couldn't help shaking his head, and then picked up a pen and paper , and quickly calculated the ingredients and production methods of the black powder.

This ball of black powder was obtained by Yu Wenkai when he was in Chang'an, and now he is rushing to work, it is impossible for Yu Wenkai to ask Chang'an for the ingredients, so he can only study it by himself, and Yu Wenkai heard that those people made the black powder at that time. Unexpectedly, the formula may not be correct, and with his status as the number one craftsman of Yu Wenkai in Daqin, Yu Wenkai believes that he will be able to decipher the formula of this black powder in less than an hour, and at the same time, he will be able to further improve and strengthen it.

South Korea attacked Hangu Pass, violated my Daqin, and affected my research, so it should be taught a lesson!
Yu Wenkai thought to himself, and then calculated faster with the pen in his hand.

Wang Mang knew Yu Wenkai's character, and knew that after handing over the task to Yu Wenkai, Yu Wenkai would at least complete the task he had given him [-]%. If he hadn't been so capable, Yu Wenkai would not have been able to sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry. There are many people in the imperial court who are jealous of the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

When Wang Mang returned to the tent, Lin Yuxin was already waiting in the tent. As soon as Lin Yuxin saw Wang Mang, she said, "I have already asked Hua Jieyu, but Hua Jieyu only said that Shi Gandang's son, Shi Hu, was escorted to Jixia School a month ago. Once he entered Jixia Academy, he became the direct disciple of a great scholar."

"Jixia Academy again?" Wang Mang's face turned cold. He had heard of Shi Gandang's reputation before, and he would never do such indecent things. It's really unheard of people to win by using their skills, but now that Shi Gandang has actually done it, there must be a reason for it.

Although Hua Jieyu didn't say that this matter is related to Jixia Academy, but there has never been such a coincidence in the world, Wang Mang said again: "Do you know what kind of poison Wang Yi has?"

At that time when Hangu Pass was closed, although Wang Yi was assassinated suddenly, Wang Yi escaped the fatal point at the critical moment. Originally, with Wang Yi's strength, there was no major problem, but the problem was that the dagger that stabbed Wang Mang at that time had a knife on it. After being poisoned, as soon as the poison entered Wang Yi's body, Wang Yi felt bad, so he directly closed his five sense organs and six senses, and fell into a deep sleep with the secret method of the Wang family. But Wang Jian also said that since Wang Yi directly used the secret method, it means The poison is a poison that seals the throat when it sees blood. This secret method will not last long. If there is no antidote within three days, then Wang Yi will undoubtedly die.
