"Let's go and take this king to see."
Liu Deng also concealed his excitement and followed Li Shaojun all the way to the depths of the valley.
This place doesn¡¯t look like much from the outside, but actually there¡¯s something special inside.
That cave is their research site, and the valley outside is their experimental site.
In order to test the destructiveness of this thing to the maximum extent, Li Shaojun put a lot of thought into it.
Many houses have been built here before and after. Some of these houses are purely wooden structures, and some are mixed with masonry.
They have already tried the wooden structure. Today they prepared two big ones, so the chosen experimental location was the strongest masonry mixed house.
¡°Please look, Your Majesty, this is the big guy we have prepared this time!¡±
Liu Deng was a little stunned when he looked at the two huge wooden barrels placed in Li Shaojun's open space.
? Could this kid be making fun of himself?
This is black powder!
"If this big wooden barrel that's as tall as a man were to explode, wouldn't it blow up into the sky with itself?"
"I said, can we do it step by step?"
Liu Deng said with a black line on his face.
"Uhwhat does your Majesty mean?"
Li Shaojun touched the back of his head in embarrassment. It looked like he was flattering, and he slapped the horse's leg.
"What I mean is, can we be a little smaller? If you put too much weight in, will there be any danger?"
????????????????????????????????? It seems that this kid has gone crazy while doing research, Liu Deng was not angry at all, he just said with a wry smile.
"Uhthen your Majesty, wait a moment!"
Hearing what Liu Deng said, Li Shaojun felt that something was wrong. Originally, he was only considering the power.
I¡¯m afraid that if they put too little of this stuff, the house won¡¯t be blown up, and won¡¯t their face be lost?
This safety issue has really not been considered.
Fortunately, everyone here is engaged in gunpowder research. As soon as Li Shaojun gave the order, craftsmen quickly followed.
Watching them dig with wooden shovels, shoveling all the dark gunpowder directly from the big wooden barrel into the small wooden barrel, Liu Deng suddenly had the urge to turn around and run away.
If the power of this thing is really as described, then the power of this thing has at least reached the military level.
¡°If this thing explodes, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to run away even if I want to.
¡°Obviously, they are now immersed in the great joy of success and have forgotten the existence of danger.
However, Liu Deng believed that after this experiment, they would soon realize their mistakes.
Only when people know how to be in awe can they live long.
They moved very quickly, and a huge wooden barrel was directly divided into twenty small barrels.
Li Shaojun very skillfully took out a thin bamboo tube, completely compacted the gunpowder in the barrel, and then stabbed the bamboo tube directly.
It seems that he is preparing to install the fuse. The production process of this thing is much simpler.
Soak the thinnest paper in saltpeter, dry it in the shade after soaking, repeat the process several times, and then roll it into gunpowder. What you get in the end is a primitive fuse.
After they finished adjusting, Liu Deng breathed a long sigh of relief.
Two strong craftsmen walked into the room carrying two wooden barrels. This masonry house looked extremely sturdy.
After they connected a long fuse from the house to the outside, Liu Deng, led by Li Shaojun, came to the protective belt they had built in advance.
It is said to be a protective belt, but in fact it is nothing more than digging a deep trench and then piling sandbags on the ground.
However, fortunately, it was a full 50 meters away from the house to be blasted. When everything was ready, Liu Deng waved his hand.
A craftsman held a torch and cautiously approached the house. After lighting the fuse, he dropped the torch and ran back desperately.
¡°However, there was no rapid burning process as imagined. The burning process of this fuse was surprisingly slow
After burning for a while, suddenly, the burning speed of the fuse suddenly accelerated again. After a few bursts, it slowed down again, which made everyone's hearts twitch.
Li Shaojun's face was already full of black lines and he looked embarrassed. Now that he was off the hook, he felt a little blushing.
"However, this is the first experiment after all, and Liu Deng can understand it.
Half a stick of incense had passed, but there was still no movement in the room. Just when Li Shaojun was hesitant to go up and check whether the fuse was extinguished.
"Boom¡ª¡ª"
A thunderous sound suddenly sounded, and then, the small brick and stone building collapsed.
Together with the dust scattered on the nearby ground, they all rose into the air. Although he had been mentally prepared for it, Li Shaojun was still extremely excited when he actually witnessed it all.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, is this considered a success?"
Li Shaojun stammered.
"Of course, why not? Everyone will be rewarded heavily! Each person will be rewarded with a hundred coins, and those with official status will be promoted to three levels."
Although they were locked up in this valley, even if they had money, they had nowhere to spend it, but Liu Deng's reward still made everyone ecstatic.
"From today on, your work will be divided into two parts. One part will continue research, and the other part will start large-scale production!"
Liu Deng laughed wildly and patted Li Shaojun on the shoulder. From today on, he finally straightened his waist.
"Your Majesty! In my humble opinion, these things should be piled separately in the form of raw materials, and the final proportioning can be done when your Majesty really needs them!"
Li Shaojun hesitated for a moment, and then suggested to Liu Deng.
Liu Deng was stunned for a moment, but then he understood. It seemed that Li Shaojun had woken up from the joy of success and regained his original wisdom.
"Then do as you wish. Whatever you need, just ask! Even if you need a woman, I will get it for you!"
After having this thing, Liu Deng should prepare the next plan.
The research on artillery may still take some time, but mines and grenades should be simple!
"When the Huns come again next time, I won't fight with you hand to hand, let's fight with you instead with explosives!"
As long as the terrain is suitable, this thing will definitely surprise the Huns.
Liu Deng once again thought of what the teacher often said when he was in school: knowledge is power!
That¡¯s right, according to the current development direction and if we continue to develop step by step, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be long before there is no nation on the entire continent that can stop the rise of the Han Dynasty.
It¡¯s time for me to think about it, can I build a navy?
"It's just that Dai's country is not close to the sea. If you want to build a navy, you must at least have a port, right?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
