    Ye Tianheng was silent, and Zhang Deming took over and said: "Brother Chen, after the prince learned of your idea, he came to the weapons supervisor and asked us to discuss it, and then returned to the East Palace. We took all the masters from the weapons supervisor  Please come and discuss it for two days and two nights. I think the artillery is of no use. I have some relationship with the master and brother, and I have been entrusted to come and inform you."

    When Chen Wanrong and Zhang Deming talked about steelmaking, the reason why Ye Tianheng believed it was because they had studied it before and they had something in common.  As for artillery, except Chen Wanrong who knew how powerful it was, it can be said that there was no other person in the Tang Dynasty. They didn't even have the slightest idea, so it was normal to not believe it.

    Artillery is useless?  Chen Wanrong seemed to be listening to a fantasy, his eyes widened in surprise!  The reputation of the God of War was tempered by thousands of years of war, but it was said to be worthless by the Tang Dynasty. Chen Wanrong could not imagine it. He stood up suddenly and asked loudly: "Tell me, how can you believe it?"  Are artillery useful?¡±

    Since Chen Wanrong came to Tang Dynasty, he rarely got angry. Now he was so angry that he didn't care whether the Ye Tianheng in front of him was the one he liked. He stared at the two of them with wide eyes.

    Ye Tianheng sighed and said: "Don't be angry, little friend! To be honest, Ye is very much in favor of my little friend's idea, but there are many masters in the weapons prison. They think it is useless, and there is nothing I can do. Besides,  I¡¯m just giving out ideas now, and I¡¯ve long since stopped taking care of things.¡±

    "Can you build artillery?" Chen Wanrong calmed down and asked.

    Ye Tianheng nodded and said: "There is no problem with the artillery. We think it is not difficult to build it. But the explosive thing you mentioned is unlikely, right? The good workers in the Ordnance Supervision are all well-informed people, and they are also  No one had ever heard of anything exploding.¡±

    Gunpowder was in its infancy in the Tang Dynasty, and it was not even used in firecrackers. Even those who studied gunpowder only found that it could burn quickly.  It is really difficult for them to believe that this is true, after all, it is beyond the scope of their seriousness.  Understanding this, Chen Wanrong calmed down and sat back on the chair: "Master Ye, do you mean that as long as I prove that gunpowder can explode and is lethal, there will be no other problems?"

    Zhang Deming nodded and said, "Brother Chen, that's it."

    Chen Wanrong smiled and said: "Okay, now I will let you see the power of gunpowder. However, we have agreed first. As long as I prove that gunpowder is extremely lethal, you will fight for the artillery to pass the weapons inspection."  .¡±

    Seeing that Chen Wanrong was no longer angry, Ye Tianheng relaxed and said with a smile: "Don't worry, little friend, if you really want to prove that artillery is a good thing, you have to do it no matter what." Zhang Deming echoed.

    "I will prove it to you now. Follow me!" Chen Wanrong stood up and walked in the lead, followed by master and apprentice Ye Tianheng.

    When he came to the room where the gunpowder was stored, Chen Wanrong pointed to the black gunpowder and said: "This is gunpowder. The lethality comes from gunpowder."

    Ye Tianheng looked at the gunpowder for a while, stretched out his middle fingers, pinched it, and asked: "What is this made of? I have never seen it before."

    "Master Ye, the fact that you haven't seen it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Not long ago, I discovered a relic in the west mountain of Luojiadian. A senior was studying gunpowder, but he was killed in the explosion." Chen Wanrong remembered that  The unknown senior was still very sorry and sighed softly.

    Ye Tianheng smiled a little sheepishly and said: "My little friend is right, there are many things in the world that I don't know and I am very ignorant."

    "Master Ye is serious." Chen Wanrong comforted him and said, "Let's try it now." He picked up a dozen pieces of oil paper and spread them on the table.  Pour a bowl of gunpowder on top and wrap it in oil paper.  Place the fuse and tie it up.

    The explosion principle of gunpowder is to use the rapid burning property of gunpowder to instantly release a large amount of gas (nitrogen and carbon dioxide) and heat.  Gunpowder, which was originally very small in volume, will suddenly expand in volume, increasing thousands of times. If it occurs in a sealed container, it will explode.

    Chen Wanrong doesn¡¯t have a suitable container now, so it¡¯s the same with oiled paper.  It only needs to be proven that it can explode and be lethal, and oil paper can meet this minimum requirement.

    After everything was done, Chen Wanrong carried the explosive bag out of the house, followed by Ye and Zhang.  Chen Wanrong asked people to call Sima Chengzhen and others. They wanted to see something strange. When they heard that Chen Wanrong was going to test gunpowder, they all rushed over, fearing that they would be late and miss the opportunity.

    When they came to a tree, Chen Wanrong asked Xiao Shangrong to climb up the tree and tie the explosive bag to a branch as thick as his arm.  After Xiao Shangrong came down, Chen Wanrong asked everyone to move away.  It wasn't until everyone retreated to a safe distance that Chen Wanrong took out the gun.Troubled: "You have to know, if this tool is made, what impact will it have? Will it make something?"

    Don¡¯t underestimate machined tools, they will cause changes in the times!  The Tang Dynasty has machining capabilities, which will become stronger and stronger after accumulation.  Then, the Tang Dynasty could build many things. A few years later, the steam engine would not be impossible to realize.  Once the motivation is solved, other things will no longer be a problem. Otherwise, change will not be possible.

    Looking at his unbelieving look, Chen Wanrong really wanted to slap him twice.  Zhang Deming hesitated for a while and then said: "This is great! We have long discovered that this knife is very useful, but we have never been able to make it or use it in other ways. If Brother Chen has a way, then this advantage  Needless to say."

    Chen Wanrong knew its usefulness and said very excitedly: "Let's go to the weapons inspection now!"

    "Okay!" Zhang Deming responded without thinking, and quickly changed his words: "No, not now. I have something else to tell you. This is a big deal for you!"

    Chen Wanrong became curious and asked: "What happened?" (To be continued, if you want to know what happened, please log on to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, support the author, and support genuine reading!) (Remember  Website address: www.hlnovel.com
