Chapter 470 Across the Era Spring of the Alchemist
After hearing this, Wei Ao laughed and said, "Actually, I have done this thing before, but the things added are not these, but they can also have the same effect. However, since I took your book, I have been specializing in researching it and finally succeeded today."
Yang Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Wei, the effect produced by this gunpowder is very different from what the boy thought!"
Wei Ao frowned and said, "Then what do you want to do?"
Yang Fan gesturing and explained: "Uncle Wei, you see, this gunpowder can be used to just one point and can also make a big fire. Why don't we put them in a sealed earth pot and connect them with a flammable wire? Will the effect be greater?"
Wei Ao was stunned when he heard this, sat directly on the ground, and began to close his eyes and ponder, as if thinking about what Yang Fan said. Finally, Wei Ao's eyes shining brightly and he laughed in surprise: "Yes, why didn't I think of it? I'll do it now, soon, you boy, wait!"
Seeing Wei Ao alone on the wooden table, Yang Fan couldn't come forward to disturb him. After all, such a thing still needs professionals to do, so Yang Fan stopped showing off his ugly face.
While waiting, Yang Fan turned around and saw that Guo Jia and others were all surprised. They obviously had not yet woken up from the scene just now. Even the knowledgeable old fox like Jia Xu was full of solemn faces. It can be seen that he had vaguely guessed some of Yang Fan's plans.
Xun You came to his senses first, and saw his throat rolling a few times, asking, "Lord, will the explosion occur if the gunpowder is placed in a sealed pot?"
As soon as these words were finished, the rest of the people turned to look at Yang Fan, obviously waiting for his answer.
Yang Fan smiled bitterly and said, "Have Gongda heard the four words "Stone Possess the Sky"? Let me keep it a secret. What will happen later should be unforgettable for you forever!"
"Master, why do you know everything?"
"Master, can you come down to earth by heaven?"
"Lord, what else do you don't know?"
.........
Yang Fan was immediately caught in a siege. A group of people who are called talents in the present day actually surrounded Yang Fan and asked around him like children. This really caught Yang Fan off guard.
Just as Yang Fan was tired of dealing with it, Wei Ao came to Yang Fan with a can of earthen jar sealed with soil, and smiled and said, "Brother Yang, I have prepared what you said, I will click here for you to see!"
Seeing Wei Ao blew the incense that was about to be extinguished in his hands in front of everyone. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be lit like this.
Yang Fan was frightened by Wei Ao's crazy behavior, and Yang Fan could not allow him to think too much. He then snatched the incense from Wei Ao's hand and complained with lingering fear: "Uncle Wei, you will explode. If the fuse is fast or not, we don't know, you dare to do this? Are you afraid of life?"
Wei Ao was also startled by Yang Fan's appearance and asked uncertainly: "How can this thing explode?"
Yang Fan snatched the earthen jar from Wei Ao's hand and replied angrily: "In the future, this kind of thing cannot be lit indoors, and the house will collapse. Let's go outdoors!"
Zheng Hun smiled confidently and said, "Lord, don't worry, this scientific research palace is built with bluestone and will not collapse!"
Yang Fan sneered: "That's the power of you who have never seen this thing!"
Yan Luo, Yang Fan no longer cared about everyone, walked downstairs with the earthen jar in his arms, and waited outside and inside the test booth.
Yang Fan carefully placed the earthen jar on the ground. He had seen the power of the gunpowder that Wei Ao had lit just now. At this time, Yang Fan was sure that this jar of rough explosives would definitely explode.
Seeing everyone standing not far away, stretching their necks and looking at themselves curiously, Yang Fan said angrily: "You think this is a joke? Let me retreat a little further so as to avoid being injured by the bomb!"
Guo Jia laughed and said, "Lord, don't worry, ignite the fire! How powerful can that small earth pot have?"
Wei Ao also said disdainfully: "That's right, the amount I put out this time is just the same as what I just did. What else can it produce?"
Yang Fan was shocked when he heard this. Wei Ao had set a large jar of gunpowder just now, which seemed to be one or two pounds. In an instant, even though Yang Fan felt that he had seen firecrackers, he was afraid to order the pot of earthen jar. However, everyone present knew the power of this. If someone else asked him to do it, he might be afraid and injured by the bomb.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan decided to come in person. After thinking about it, Yang Fan was really worried, so he asked Dian Wei to call a team of soldiers and asked them to use their shields to erect a shield wall three meters away.
Yang Fan walked to the soldiers and said in a heavy tone: "After I go to light the earthen jar, first of all, there will be a loud noise, and secondly, there will be a huge storm. Do you want to hold this shield firmly for me, do you know?"
Dian Wei Hanhan smiled and said, "Don't worry, lord, we will definitely protect you."
Seeing Yang Fan's expression like this, even the producer, Wei Ao, was half-believing and half-doubted, and became nervous for no reason.
After the preparation was completed, Yang Fan went to light the fire line, but saw that the fire line was made of animal hair, which was only about three inches long. When he thought of two kilograms of gunpowder in the earthen jar, Yang Fan's heart began to beat violently. Then he asked Wei Ao to find more animal hair and start weaving the fire on the ground. Only after the length reached six or seven feet, Yang Fan dared to light the fire.
Yang Fan squatted on the ground, pinching the incense with one hand, and tremblingly stretching towards the fire.
Everyone in the distance was also frightened by Yang Fan's strange behavior and did not dare to let out any more. They all stared at the earthen jar with wide eyes and stared at the earthen jar.
‘This...’
The fire was ignited and was burning at an extremely fast speed. Yang Fan was stunned and jumped up in fear and fled in panic toward the shield wall.
'boom!'
Yang Fan had just run behind the shield wall, and before he could look up, he heard a loud noise. The sound that was not like the mortal world, like the divine thunder in the sky, shocked everyone's eardrums and their hearts were shaken. The faces of the soldiers changed, and they all pressed their bodies against the shields, and a storm followed, which dazzled everyone.
After the black smoke dissipated, the soldiers dared to take off the shield. When they looked up, they saw that a deep pit had been blown out of the place where the earth can had just been placed in the distance.
Everyone was still scared, looking at Yang Fan with a fearful expression. Wei Ao's three disciples were even more ineffective, and they were so scared that they peeed their pants.
Looking at the deep pit, Guo Jia said palely: "Who can resist this...this power?"
Dian Wei swallowed secretly, touched his bald head and said in fear: "If this exploded beside me, then wouldn't I be blown into a pile of minced meat?"
Yang Fan laughed and said, "This is explosive, this is explosive, haha... it succeeded, it succeeded..."
Seeing Yang Fan jumping and jumping there with a little nervousness, everyone had a deep understanding. In addition, Wei Ao himself was the one who was frightened the most. He was about to hold something just now. If Yang Fan hadn't persuaded him to stop, then now... when he thought of this, Wei Ao would suddenly tremble.
After being happy, Yang Fan took Wei Ao's hand and asked anxiously: "Uncle Wei, can this gunpowder be manufactured on a large scale? I'm of great use!"
Wei Ao replied in a dilemma: "This...is probably not easy to deal with. Saltpeter can be transported from Bashu, and charcoal is easy to make, but I don't know where this sulfur is produced,"
Yang Fan was stunned when he heard this and said to himself, "You don't know where to do this sulfur. Could it be that the sulfur used to make gunpowder falls from the sky?"
As if seeing Yang Fan’s doubts, Wei Ao smiled bitterly and said, “I know what you want to say? Those sulfur are all around the mountains all year round. After seeing them occasionally, I pick them up and collect them. My inventory is only a small amount, and it will be gone after using it.”
Faced with such a big event, Yang Fan was very anxious and immediately ordered Jia Xu without believing in it: "Wenhe, let Diting Camp comprehensively investigate the origin of sulfur. I don't believe that in such a large Bingzhou and Sili, there is no place containing sulfur mines. As long as you find a similar place, you will immediately ask the local garrison to cooperate and block it completely. Then let Uncle Wei go and check it. After confirming that it is really sulfur, report it to me. Remember, this is your Diting Camp's most recent priority."
Jia Xu was stunned when he heard this. He had just seen the power of explosives. He also knew the value contained in the sulfur and nodded quickly.
When he thought of the scene just now, even Yang Fan was still scared, and then asked Wei Ao: "Uncle Wei, this object is extremely dangerous and needs to be careful in the future. Let's do this. I will transfer a team of soldiers to be responsible for your safety. Also, this object must not be close to the fire source and should be stored in a cold and dry place."
Wei Ao waved his hand and smiled dismissively: "Okay, okay, I know what to do. Besides, I also think this thing needs to be improved. When I go back, I will study it carefully."
When Yang Fan heard this, he was so scared that his soul was rising. He thought to himself, "You old guy still want to improve it." Now, I'm afraid that you are the only one in the world who understands this recipe. If you make any mistakes, then you will be broken."
Thinking of this, Yang Fan shook his head repeatedly and refused, "Uncle Wei, now in the world, you are the only one who knows the formula of gunpowder. You must not be in trouble. This way, in a few days I will ask Jia Xu to select a group of smart children to come over. You will teach them the formula and operation methods. After finding the origin of sulfur, it will not be too late to study it."
Wei Ao hummed unhappily: "What? I was afraid that I would be killed by the bomb, so no one would play this thing for you? Don't worry, I know the priority of the matter, so you can send someone to study as soon as possible! I went back to sort it out, write the recipe and handed it over to Jia Wen and this kid for safekeeping."
Yang Fan knew that his words would never let Wei Ao give up his research. After all, for the alchemy priests, the birth of a new thing is often very tempting. In desperation, Yang Fan had to ask Jia Xu to find more alchemy priests who knew how to refine alchemy. Even if they hired it at a high price, Yang Fan would do whatever he wanted.
