- "Old Zeng, go and get me some saltpeter, charcoal and sulfur."
As soon as Li Chengqian entered the East Palace, he shouted to Lao Zeng. .
" Lao Zeng didn't know what he was busy with. Anyway, the toilet water shop asked him to contact him, and the Wenlian ice cream shop asked him to contact them. He was very busy.
"O? Okay, Your Highness, I'll get it right away!" Lao Zeng responded quickly.
He did not hesitate to respond to Li Chengqian's words, but acted immediately.
Li Chengqian recruited some shrimps, brought a pen and paper, and wrote down: The proportions of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal should be controlled at about 75%, 10%, and 15% respectively.
Anyone who has attended junior high school can write this recipe.
Lao Zeng brought what Li Chengqian wanted, and Li Chengqian immediately prepared black powder according to the proportions in the formula.
He mixed the three ingredients evenly, and it looked like the black powder he recognized.
He separated out a handful, put it under the steps, and said to Lao Zeng: "Give me some incense."
"Great!" Lao Zeng ran away and came back after a while. He handed a long piece of lit incense to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian touched the incense into the black gunpowder, and with a hiss, a ball of open fire ignited, then went out, turning into a ball of white smoke that rose up.
The burning smell of gunpowder made Li Chengqian, who was not close to him, quickly take two steps back and fan the air in front of his nose with his hand to feel better.
Although he choked on the gunpowder, Li Chengqian was happy.
This should be gunpowder, he got the gunpowder out.
He also wanted to continue experimenting with gunpowder. In the Tang Dynasty, this gunpowder could not be used as a gun and could only be used as an explosive, so Li Chengqian wanted to try to see if it could be used as a bomb.
"Go get me a bamboo tube!" Li Chengqian said excitedly.
Old Zeng, the old loser, immediately ran to get it.
Li Chengqian took the gunpowder in the bamboo tube brought by Lao Zeng.
This bamboo tube is five centimeters in diameter. It is the middle section of a mature bamboo. The bamboo has a lot of water. It seems that the bamboo has just been cut and peeled.
As soon as the prince said this, someone immediately finished the work, and Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel satisfied with his status.
??????????????????????? But this bamboo tube is too big, which is not good. I only poured half a bowl of gunpowder. Fortunately, I had more, otherwise it would not be enough now.
After installing it, Li Chengqian took out a ball of paper. The paper was very soft. Li Chengqian twisted the paper into a line, and then kneaded gunpowder on it to form a fuse. He took another ball and stuffed part of the fuse into the mouth of the bamboo tube, and a bamboo tube bomb was completed.
Li Chengqian looked around and was very satisfied. He walked out of the attic and went outside. Xiao Xiami and Lao Zeng followed Li Chengqian curiously. After Li Chengqian placed the bamboo bomb, they still refused to leave, so he waved his hand. He rushed in and said, "Everyone, go away, go away. This thing is very dangerous. Leave quickly!"
Lao Zeng and Xiao Xiami were stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously wanted to carry out Li Chengqian's words and leave here.
Old Long said: "Your Highness, leave this dangerous matter to Old Long!"
When Lao Zeng heard this, he regretted that such a good opportunity to show off his merits was snatched away by a fool like Lao Long.
Li Chengqian waved his hand and said: "No, this fuse is long enough. You all should leave and hide behind the pillar. Remember to leave a seat for me, so I can hide easily!"
"Okay, Your Highness, I'll save a seat for you!" Lao Zeng said.
He didn¡¯t miss this opportunity to make a contribution!
When Li Chengqian saw that everyone was hiding, he turned around and looked at the half-meter-long fuse. It was really a safe fuse. He carefully touched the incense to the end of the fuse. The quality of the fuse was quite good, and he immediately started to smoke. Sparks flashed.
Li Chengqian ran away quickly and hid behind a pillar.
At this time, the fuse had not yet burned out. Li Chengqian poked his head out and saw that the fuse had finally burned into the bamboo tube. He shouted: "Everyone, please hide, it's about to explode!"
Then he quickly hid inside.
It was only half a second later, and no explosion was heard after a second, so I couldn't help but be surprised and cautiously poked my head out to take a look.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian was not short-sighted and could see the bamboo bomb.
I saw that the fuse had burned out, and the ball of paper stuffed in the bamboo tube was burned, but the gunpowder inside was not ignited after the paper was burned. This was really strange.
Could it be that the paper was stuffed too tightly just now?
Li Chengqian bared his teeth and saw something under the bamboo tube.The medicinal flowers sprayed out, and Li Chengqian became nervous. Just as he was about to hide in, he saw the bamboo tube hissing, and then he saw a cloud of white smoke coming out of the bottom of the bamboo tube, and then the bamboo tube flew forward!
¡°Damn!¡± Li Chengqian cursed.
The bamboo tube made a hissing noise and flew toward Li Chengqian, like a small rocket.
The little rocket was very fast, flying past Li Chengqian in an instant, and then hit the wall of the attic before stopping.
Li Chengqian looked at the intact bamboo tube, except for the black buttocks, which was lying intact under the wall. He couldn't help but patted his chest. It's okay, okay. If it flew here and exploded, then Li Chengqian wouldn't have become a historical figure in the history of the invention of gunpowder. The victim.
Lao Zeng, Lao Long, and Xiao Xiami looked at Li Chengqian strangely.
Li Chengqian felt that his credibility was doubted, so he couldn't help but puff up his chest and walked towards the burned bamboo tube. When he wanted to pick it up, he immediately felt the hotness of the bamboo tube, so he immediately put it down, and then used another stick to burn the bamboo tube. stand up.
After carefully studying the bamboo tube, Li Chengqian found that the bamboo tube must be too raw, with a lot of water, and it is a long-ripened bamboo. The bamboo tube is too hard, so the gunpowder cannot be exploded.
¡°Get me some old bamboo tubes.¡± Li Chengqian put a stick on the bamboo tubes, walked back, and said to Lao Zeng.
After getting the new bamboo tube, Li Chengqian went through the process of filling it with gunpowder.
After everything was done, Li Chengqian put the bamboo tube back to its original place and prepared for a new lighting ceremony.
But the direction where Li Chengqian put it was facing the pool. He was afraid that the bamboo tube would fly towards him again. It didn't explode last time. Who knows if it will explode this time.
After putting it away, Li Chengqian handed the incense to Lao Long and said, "Come on, light it, and then run back. You must run faster."
Old Long nodded.
After Li Chengqian hid, Lao Long clicked on the fuse and ran back in a few steps.
After Li Chengqian carefully watched the fuse burn out, he started to burn the paper stuffed in the butt of the bamboo tube. Once the paper was almost burned, there was a roar, and the butt of the bamboo tube spurted out fire and flew forward.
Well, this is obviously a small rocket, where is the bomb!
This is strange. I want to make a bomb, but why do I make it into a rocket?
