    Making matches seems simple and a craft job, but how to implement this craft process is not simple.

    It took the West more than two hundred years from the beginning of the study of matches to the creation of matches.

    Yes, you read that right.

    It¡¯s that little match that young people in today¡¯s cities have almost never seen. The West has spent more than two hundred years studying it.

    For us ordinary people, we can push the matchbox, take out a match, and lightly scratch the match skin, and the match will burn, and we can use it as a kind of fire to do many things.

    But what is the red condensation on the top of the match, why can the match skin ignite the match quickly, why is there a burning smell of smoke when the match is lit these are the key points involved.

    If we talk about it in detail, it includes many aspects of knowledge such as chemistry and physics.

    The ability to create perfect matches shows that the Western chemical industry has developed to a very high level.

    ??At least at that time, our ancient East had been defeated.

    So in the Duck War, the Sino-Japanese War, etc., the ancient oriental country lost completely. It seemed that the imperial court was stupid, the armaments were not good enough, and the troops were collapsed, but the real reason was the crushing of technology.

    There has been a generational war, and there can be no accidents.

    Even if the Zhiyuan ship knocked over the Songdao, the flagship of the United Fleet, it would not change the outcome of the entire battle.

    The topic has gone too far.

    The key principle of matches lies in the mixed burning substances such as sulfur and potassium chlorate on the match head, as well as the red phosphorus smeared on the match skin.

    Once the two rub against each other in the air, they will immediately catch fire.

    Sulfur and potassium chlorate are relatively easy to obtain, but red phosphorus is slightly more difficult to obtain.

    Red phosphorus needs to be purified and purified from white phosphorus. The most important thing is to remove the toxicity of white phosphorus.

    Early match skins were coated with white phosphorus, so once the match was struck, a puff of yellow smoke was ignited, which was toxic.

    After it turns into red phosphorus, the smoke is similar to blue smoke and is harmless.

    This is also the main reason why dangerous white phosphorus must be purified and evolved again.

    As for how to obtain white phosphorus, that¡¯s very simple.

    Anyone who studies chemistry will hear a short story, that is, a German businessman fantasized about using strong heat to evaporate human urine to obtain gold. As a result, when he experimented with urine, sand and charcoal, what he got was a  Something like wax.

    This is white phosphorus.

    Liu Mingqi, who knew how harmful white phosphorus was, had no choice but to conduct the experiment himself.

    And a lot of experimental equipment must be made to provide a larger vacuum environment so that it can be purified into red phosphorus.

    Of course, none of this is difficult.

    After proper preparation, Liu Mingqi spent three days making red phosphorus and produced more than a hundred boxes of matches.

    Luo Lie had already sent the second batch of tobacco leaves, which increased the number of Liu Mingqi's cigarettes to 297 boxes.

    Carrying matches and cigarettes, Liu Mingqi felt that she was the most handsome boy on the street.

    It¡¯s a pity that his injury has not fully recovered in the past few days. It is now a cold winter and it is snowing every day, so he cannot go out to show off for the time being.

    Amid boredom, the young man was waiting for a visitor.

    It is Gao Jing, the Commander-in-Chief of the Xiuyi Guards.

    Liu Mingqi had often dealt with him before and was quite familiar with him.

    When I saw it today, I was shocked: "Captain Gao, what's wrong with you?"

    Not to mention the beard on Gao Jing¡¯s face, his face was also pale and ugly, and he looked a little depressed.

    Gao Jing sat on the chair and said without answering: "Your Highness, I came to ask if you have any clues about the killer."

    ¡°I didn¡¯t even see anyone, how could there be any clues?¡± Liu Mingqi smiled bitterly, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you before in the palace?¡±

    Before leaving the palace to go home to recuperate, the heads of the Xiuyi Guards and the patrol yamen listened to Liu Mingqi and Dazhu's detailed description of the process.

    But the fact is that they don¡¯t even know where the enemy shot the arrows from, how many there were, and how they chased them.

    All I know is running for my life.

    There¡¯s nothing we can do about it.

    There are only three of them, and Liu Mingqi is the important oneGao Jing, who was in his room, couldn't help but feel his head hurt when he looked at the intelligence information compiled today.

    It¡¯s been so many days, these bastards have been searching for so long, but they still have no clues.

    The same goes for those spies from other places. They took the portraits and searched for them, but they couldn't find anyone who knew these killers.

    How will I explain to the emperor tomorrow afternoon?

    You have to be scolded again!

    Thinking of the increasingly venomous emperor, Gao Jing¡¯s head not only hurts, but also gets big.

    He was so depressed that he wanted to yell, but he didn't even dare to smash things.

    ¡°Because even he can¡¯t stabilize, how can the people below have the energy to continue doing things?

    The tall governor's eyes were wandering, and he inadvertently saw the packs of cigarettes he had brought back from Prince Yu's Mansion today.

    He was not interested in cigarettes, but the stick that ignited when touched was quite interesting.

    Gao Jing picked up the matchbox, took a match from it, and imitated Liu Mingqi's example, and lit it with a "swish".

    When the sticks burned out, another one was lit with a "swish" sound.

    After doing this for three or five cigarettes, Gao Jing unknowingly picked up the cigarette case and then took out a cigarette and lit it like Liu Mingqi did.

    "Huh"

    Two columns of smoke were exhaled from the nostrils.

    One bite or two

    He didn¡¯t think anything was wrong with the first cigarette.

    I still feel nothing after smoking three to five cigarettes.

    However, after drawing seven or eight sticks, Gao Jing felt that he was not so anxious.

    By smoking like this, not only did my mind calm down, but my head no longer hurt so much.

    He continued to hold the cigarette in one hand, and took a document with the other hand, and read it carefully.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The information that I felt was too anxious to read just now is now actually possible to read.

    Gradually, while smoking and reading information, he became more and more skilled and read more attentively.

    That night, the lights in Governor Gao¡¯s room were almost never turned off (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
