    Riding on Qinghua¡¯s back is extremely smooth. The stability is no worse than driving a car on the highway. This feeling is really wonderful and a kind of enjoyment.  Chen Wanrong couldn't help but feel a little happy. It was worth saving Qinghua's life for a moment of soft-heartedness.  However, before Chen Wanrong could finish his thoughts, he heard Qinghua hiss, turn around and run away.

    Chen Wanrong originally planned to ride to the town, pick up something from He San and go home. Unexpectedly, Qinghua actually turned around and galloped, hurriedly pulled the reins and shouted: "Turn back, turn back!" No matter how Chen Wanrong roared, Qinghua couldn't stand it at all.  Not listening, he got so anxious that he made a few leaps, almost knocking Chen Wanrong off his horse.

    Regarding equestrian skills, Chen Wanrong could only say that he knew how to ride, and he could only promise not to fall off the horse. Qinghua refused to listen, and Chen Wanrong couldn't help but panic. In a hurry, he clamped the horse's belly with his legs and grabbed the horse's mane with both hands.  .

    The blue and white flowers were running fast, faster and faster, and Chen Wanrong felt the wind blowing in his ears.  In this situation, Chen Wanrong was not good at equestrian skills. He could do nothing but "stick" to the horse's back, and had no choice but to let Qinghua run wildly.

    He didn't know how long he had been running. Chen Wanrong felt that his limbs were weak and his legs were weak. If he kept running, he might fall down after exhaustion. At this moment, Qinghua neighed, slowed down and started to trot.  stand up.  Chen Wanrong seized the opportunity, reined in the horse, and shouted: "Stop!" Qinghua stopped in response, very obedient.

    Chen Wanrong was exhausted, sweating through his clothes, and was very unhappy. He slapped the horse's head with his right hand and scolded: "What kind of madness are you crazy?" He felt that his right hand was slippery. When he lifted it up, he saw stains on his palm.  He was sweating a lot, and when he looked carefully at Qinghua in surprise, he saw that sweat was oozing from Qinghua's body. I guess it was because Qinghua had become addicted to running so much that he stopped.

    There is no doubt that Qinghua is a rare good horse, but it is kept in a stable and rarely has the opportunity to run. When given this opportunity, it will naturally run wildly. Chen Wanrong felt relieved and pulled the horse's head.  Qinghua turned around and headed towards Luojiadian.

    Although Chen Wanrong was in a hurry to rush to Luojiadian, he was tired and did not dare to rush too fast, allowing Qinghua to trot leisurely.  Chen Wanrong controlled the reins and walked, looking at it from time to time. He didn't know where this place was. It was very desolate. There were few pedestrians on the road. Even this road was not as smooth as the official road. It was full of potholes and occasionally muddy.

    In the past few days since arriving in the Tang Dynasty, Chen Wanrong has been to Ning County and Chang'an except Luojiadian, but not to other places. If he had time, Chen Wanrong would definitely ride Qinghua to take a closer look. It's not early now.  I had to rush back, so I had to give up the idea.  If you don't have a chance to check it, you can't have no impression at all. If that happens, it will fail. Chen Wanrong looked carefully. There was a mountain in front of him with many trees. It looked quite big.

    Soon he arrived at the foot of the mountain. Chen Wanrong galloped on his horse, looking around from time to time.  There were several fist-sized white stones about three to five feet away from the roadside. Chen Wanrong frowned and reined in his horse. Qinghua stopped. Chen Wanrong jumped down and trotted towards the stones.  Qinghua trotted behind Chen Wanrong.

    Chen Wanrong picked up the stone and took a look at it. He said that the white stone was not right, it was slightly gray.  I picked the stone with my right index finger a few times, put it in my mouth and tasted it. It was bitter, yes, it was saltpeter.

    Others don¡¯t know the use of saltpeter, doesn¡¯t Chen Wanrong know it too?  That's one of the three major ingredients of gunpowder.  The texture of this saltpeter is not very good. Pure saltpeter can be obtained only after processing. In the Tang Dynasty, there was sulfur, not to mention charcoal. The three ingredients were mixed together in a certain proportion to form gunpowder, one of China's four great inventions.

    Gunpowder first appeared in AD 682, the first year of Yongchun reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. It was called the sulfur fire method, and was made of saltpeter, sulfur and saponins.  The era that Chen Wanrong lived in was 711 AD, twenty-nine years before this great invention. The Tang people's understanding of gunpowder was still extremely limited, and they did not even use it in fireworks. This was not done in fireworks until the Song Dynasty.  Use, then military.

    The reason why saponins are used is because saponins contain carbon. Later, charcoal was used, and the three major ingredients of gunpowder were officially established: saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal.

    It is not difficult at all to make gunpowder. Among the three ingredients, saltpeter is relatively difficult. Suitable saltpeter can be obtained by boiling it. Chen Wanrong can solve this problem.  With saltpeter, gunpowder can be made, and gunpowder can be used to make fireworks and weapons. The future is infinite.

    Chen Wanrong felt that his head was dizzy and he couldn't care about anything else. He put the saltpeter in his arms and ran towards the mountain, hoping to find more saltpeter.  However, things often go unsatisfactory, and Chen Wanrong's plan failed. He traveled a large area and never found another piece of saltpeter.

    If you give up now, you will no longer be Chen Wanrong.??Invest more manpower, material and financial resources to study the latter.  "

    Chen Wanrong was very excited that the Weapons Supervisor was so mobilized and mobilized, and there was great hope for steel. Chen Wanrong was very excited. He had achieved his goal of promoting steel research through Ye Tianheng, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Great!"

    "Master Wanrong, Master, he has a gift for you." Zhang De said and moved the box on the table over.

    Ye Tianheng is a respected scientist. It is a great honor to receive something from him. It must be a sharp weapon such as a famous sword. Chen Wanrong said happily: "Then I would like to thank Master Ye, but it would be disrespectful!"

    Zhang Deming laughed and opened the box, only to see the golden light. It turned out to be a box of gold: "Two hundred taels of gold, please accept it, Master Wanrong!" Chen Wanrong never expected that Ye Tianheng would actually give gold as a gift, and he couldn't help being stunned.  (To be continued.
