At this time, Li Wangyou couldn't control how the people complained about him behind his back. He ran to the Jiulong County Government Office and ordered people to dig out a nitrate pond in the yard of the county government office, preparing to use the nitrate soil that he had scraped. Refining nitrate.
This method was also heard from the elders in the village.
Because of the rush, the digging of the denitrification pond made the good county government muddy everywhere.
Dugufeng was about to cry at this time, why was his good county government directly ruined by this county magistrate?
The pool is more than half a meter deep, the walls are built with bricks, and the bottom of the pool is solidified with wheat straw mud to ensure that it will not leak.
Dig a hole at the outer end of the pool and bury a small urn in it.
A small hole is made at the bottom of the pool, and a pottery pipe is installed to communicate with the small urn.
After everything was ready, Li Wangyou ordered people to dig up the nitrate soil, mix it with plant ash, put it into the nitrate drench pool, step on it firmly with their feet, and then fill the pool with water.
The water in the nitric acid pool will seep through the nitric soil, bring the nitric acid out of the soil, and enter the small urn through the pottery pipe.
The deep red water is poured out, which is the nitric acid water.
Afterwards, Li Wangyou ordered someone to set up a large stove in the courtyard of the county government office, and directly moved several large iron pots from the county government office kitchen, and began to boil nitrate.
This made Dugufeng's face twitch even more, but he could only bear it silently.
The dark red nitrate was poured directly into the iron pot and boiled over high heat.
It wasn't until white salt boiled out from the bottom of the pot, and the nitrate water boiled into a thick liquid, that it was considered a success.
Li Wangyou ordered people to take out the boiled nitrate and put it into Tao Peng, and put it in a cool place for careful preservation.
After the boiled nitrate water cools down, white crystals hang on the side and bottom of the pottery basin, which is the refined nitrate.
When the nitrate was extracted, Niu Wu, Dugu Feng and others were stunned.
Where did they expect that nitrate could be produced from the soil scraped from the side of the hut, which completely overturned their cognition.
"Lang Jun, this is really nitrate! That latrine can also produce nitrate? This is really eye-opening."
Dugufeng even bowed directly to Li Wangyou: "Your official only now knows that the Lord knows astronomy and geography at the top, and he really is a pedantic heavenly man! But the official still doesn't understand, and the Lord ordered the official to collect What are the nitrate and sulfur charcoal?"
Li Wangyou smiled at Dugufeng and said two words: "Secret!"
These words made the magistrate Dugufeng choke, speechless, and looked at Li Wangyou with resentment.
Niu Wu was beside him and quickly grabbed his thigh, so as not to laugh out loud and be recorded in the little black book by his "narrow-minded" husband.
In fact, he still doesn't know what Li Wangyou wants some gunpowder to do.In Niu Wu's cognition, gunpowder is used to make explosive poles and fireworks. As for using gunpowder to kill people, he has no idea.
How to make gunpowder naturally needs to be kept strictly confidential. Li Wangyou doesn't want such a dangerous thing to be spread all over the street.
Originally, in the mansion, only two brothers Niu Yong and Niu Wu knew how to make gunpowder, and Li Wangyou had repeatedly told them not to reveal anything to the outside world.
Now in Jiulong County, Niu Yong is not by his side, and other people can't believe it. Li Wangyou can only summon the two brothers Zhang Xuan and Zhang Xuan, and tell them to go and learn how to make gunpowder with Niu Wu.
Li Wangyou is still at ease about his own series.
After repeatedly instructing the three of them to pay attention to safety and not to use metal utensils, Li Wangyou asked Dugufeng to prepare a secluded courtyard for the three of Niu Wu in the county government office, and started gunpowder production.
In half a day, Niu Wu and the others used a medicine grinder to finely grind sulfur, charcoal, and nitrate into powder, and carefully mixed them together according to the ratio taught by Li Wangyou.
After making a few catties of gunpowder, Niu Wu went to ask Li Wangyou how to deal with the gunpowder.
Li Wangyou had already considered how to make these black powders into murder weapons.
There is no need to think about making guns and cannons.
If a second-education scum who studies e-commerce knows how to make firearms, it can only be achieved if the Taishang Laojun manifests.
What's more, with Datang's current level of primitive metal smelting and metal processing, Li Wangyou may have to ask the gods to help him, and carry a set of mechanical equipment from later generations, and it is estimated that he can manufacture thermal weapons.
This is a complete industrial system, and it is impossible to achieve industrialization in Datang more than 1000 years ago as easily as written in the novel.
But even though he couldn't make guns, Li Wangyou still had other ways to use the black powder.
Making dynamite packs is the easiest one.
In movies and TV dramas, the kind of explosive packs that often appear on the scene, wrapped like a quilt, are actually called group charges.
Spread the powdered explosives in bulk in the middle of cloth or paper, wrap them like a package, and then tie them up with ropes. A necessary explosive package for home travel, murder, and arson is ready.
If it is more frenzied, and some broken stones and broken tiles are buried in the explosive bag, the effect will be even better.
Li Wangyou directly asked Dugufeng to send silk, and instructed Niu Wu and the others to wrap the gunpowder tightly in it, and "accidentally" sprinkled some gravel into it.
The several catties of black gunpowder that Niu Wu and the others ground out were all wrapped in a boxy explosive bag.
"Lang Jun, what the hell is this thing? If it's an explosive pole, it's too big. How big is the brazier for this thing?"
Niu Wu still thinks that Li Wangyou made this thing, it's just a strange-looking explosion.
Seeing Niu Wu throwing the several kilograms of explosives up and down like a toy, cold sweat rolled down Li Wangyou's back.
paralysis!
This bastard Niu Wu who scares people to death, does he really think that the thing in his hand is just for listening?
"Stop!" Li Wangyou yelled, but Niu Wu was startled. The explosive bag in his hand almost fell to the ground, and Li Wangyou's heart almost stopped beating.
Although he also knew that the black powder would not explode if dropped, but who could say for sure about this kind of thing?
If the dynamite bag weighing several kilograms in front of him explodes, then there is no need to think about the consequences. Even the collection of corpses can be avoided. Li Wangyou can only pray that God will let him travel again.
For Niu Wu who almost scared him to death, Li Wangyou could only kick him angrily, with a dark face, he motioned for the Zhang family brothers to carry the explosives and go with him.
He has to find a place to test the power of this explosive package...
893 Different Fireworks
Li Wangyou is a "kind" person, in order to extract nitrate, he has already tossed the good Jiulong county government to a great extent.If he was still testing the power of the explosives in the county government... well, he was actually afraid that Dugufeng would fight him to the death.
If the county government is accidentally blown up, no matter how thick-skinned Li Wangyou is, he will be ashamed to see Dugufeng.
After inquiring about Dugufeng, Li Wangyou decided to go to the training ground of the military camp in the city to do experiments.
"Dugu Mingfu, weren't you very puzzled by the fact that I asked you to collect sulfur and other things before? Now it's time to reveal the answer, and I will let you see what is called a magic weapon. Haha, with this thing, those Liao people are nothing to be afraid of, I can easily wipe them out!"
When Li Wangyou said these words, he only hated that he didn't have a feather fan in his hand, and that his pretense wasn't enough.
Feather fan and scarf, while chatting and laughing, the mast and scull were wiped out... Isn't it him?
