Chapter 11 Bloody Battle at Hangu Pass {3}

Wang Zhu returned to the room, took off his shirt, and looked unhappy.

Xu Ling'er, who came with the army, was in the room. He hurriedly came up to say hello. He knelt down on the ground with his long purple skirt and asked softly: "What is your Majesty worried about?" A pair of crescent-like thin eyes, full of energy, wandered back and forth.

Wang Zhu picked her up, held her in his arms, and took a deep breath of the powdery air, which was neither thick nor light: "What else can happen? Isn't it Xiang Yu?"

Xu Ling'er looked at her sideways and exhaled like a orchid!

The red lips were half open and half closed, tempting him extremely seductively. He couldn't help but lower his head, but Xiang Yu's ferocious face appeared in his mind again, and his interest was suddenly lost. Wang Zhu smiled bitterly,

The lips only touched each other briefly, and the hot lips made Xu Ling'er tremble all over. She opened her eyes, with a bit of surprise and inquiry in her bright eyes.

"Your Majesty, can I share your worries?"

Wang Zhu thought to himself, now is not the time to use you to share my worries, otherwise I will die faster!

"What can you do as a woman? Why don't you just give me a smile and it will be a way to share your worries!"

Xu Ling'er squeezed her eyes, her long eyelashes flickering, and she smiled charmingly like she was serving a guest looking for pleasure.

"The ancients said that a thousand pieces of gold buys a smile. If your majesty wants to give a cheap concubine a smile, don't be stingy with your treasure?!" The world is as black as crows.

Why are women like this?

"Would you like me to give you a beacon show on the princes?"

"No, don't -" Xu Ling'er turned around and hugged Wang Zhu's neck and kissed him: "I am not a concubine, and I don't allow you to be the short-lived King You of Zhou. I hope you live forever and live forever!"

Wang Zhu was very happy and excited at first, but then he felt helpless. Is this true? Or is it a way to compete for favor in the harem? Of the three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem, is one of them sincere?

"How can a person live forever? Sooner or later he will die." Wang Zhu scratched her body!

Xu Linger jumped up with a smile.

"Of course there is a way, my dad has a way!"

Xu Ling'er walked to the black bookcase, on which was placed a stack of bamboo slips. One of the bamboo slips was half-opened, with a brush dipped in cinnabar on the tip.

She stretched out her pointed and thin lotus-root-like fingers, took the bamboo slip in her hand, and shook it towards Wang Zhu: "Your Majesty, this is the secret code for refining the elixir of immortality left to me by my father. I am here.

I'm trying to experiment on His Majesty!"

Xu Ling'er was very excited. It seemed that she had absolutely no idea that her father was a charlatan and a charlatan who did not have the magical power to fly into the sky and escape from the earth!

Here we go again! How sad!

The origin of family education is really remarkable.

Xu Fu, just go away! Why did you leave so many textbooks to your daughter? Well, the Great Qin Dynasty has produced another top-notch magician!

Seeing Xu Ling'er's innocence, elegance and beauty, Wang Zhu was greatly moved. He couldn't bear to brush her off, so he forced a smile and said: "It's really so powerful, bring it over and show it to me."

Xu Ling'er smiled, very proud!

Holding the bamboo slip, she snuggled into Wang Zhu's arms and slowly unfolded it. There were many ink marks with cinnabar circles on it, which should be the focus of Xu Ling'er's painting!

"It is profound, profound and mysterious, and the essence of heaven and earth is all here - Hi, it's a pity that I don't understand it completely, just like this paragraph, "The Alchemy Sutra contains sulfur method" is also called, "Fire Alchemy" requires no water

Heating. It roughly includes: forging, refining, moxibustion, melting, pumping, flying, and finessing. These steps - I can't see these steps in the clouds, and I can't proceed. Your Majesty, tell me, how can I heat without water?" Xu Ling'er lowered her head.

He was talking to himself, completely unaware that Wang Zhu was already a little impatient.

"But as mentioned above, there is a "fire alum method" that can achieve this state of waterless heating. The specific method is as follows - two ounces of sulfur, two ounces of saltpeter, and three and a half qian of aristolochia.

Grind it into powder, mix it well, and put it in a silver pot or a sand pot. Dig a hole in the ground, put the pot in the pit and level with the ground, and fill it with soil on all sides. Place three soap bars that have not been eaten by insects and click them together.

Then put it into the pot, and the sulfur and saltpeter will naturally light up the fireworks. When the fireworks can no longer be burned, stir-fry with charcoal until one-third of the charcoal is gone, then anneal, and before it cools down, add the mixture.

This is a fire hazard.

But what are these 'sulfur' and 'nitre'? I have never heard of them. How can they naturally cause fireworks when they are mixed together? Maybe there will be records later. I haven't had time to read it yet. Wait until I read it.

Once this is done, you can try to make medicine for Your Majesty."

Xu Ling'er kept her head down and pointed at the bamboo slips, but did not see the dramatic changes in Wang Zhu's face, from the initial politeness, to the disdain in the middle, to the inexplicable surprise at this moment, with her face glowing as if she had gained something.

The treasure is like a palette painted with paintbrushes.

"Oops! How could I forget? During class, the teacher said that *'s invention came from the alchemy of the Warring States Period. Xu Fu is an expert in this field, so of course he would dabble in it -" {Historical Materials} Wang Zhu exclaimed in surprise

, Xu Ling'er turned pale with fright, thinking that the emperor had been stung by a bee.

What is the 'fire alum method' here? This is basically the method of making monosulfide, dinitrate, and charcoal. The alchemists during the Warring States Period have widely used these techniques in alchemy. Of course, these alchemists have no idea.

It was absolutely impossible to know in another thousand years that this method of 'waterless heating' could have other horrific uses. But Wang Zhu knew it.

From the day he came to the Qin Dynasty, Wang Zhu tried to make some poison, but he didn't know much about the specific manufacturing methods, and things like sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal can be bought everywhere in the 21st century.

, not many people in the Qin Dynasty knew about it, so they were always at a loss. Since Xu Fu's letter mentioned the method of refining *, then he must know where these things can be found!

Wang Zhu grabbed the bamboo slips and ignored the surprised and stunned Han Ling'er, who was looking down. Sweat was pouring on his forehead due to excitement, and his hands holding the bamboo slips were trembling. No wonder Han Ling'er couldn't understand. These methods of refining alchemy are somewhat modern.

The shadow of physics and chemistry, the so-called calcining is heating at high temperature for a long time, refining is heating of dry substances, moxibustion, local baking, melting, as the name suggests, melting, these are all physical reactions, no big deal, the subsequent smoking,

It should mean distillation, which involves the issue of chemical reactions. The so-called "flying" is also called rising, which is the sublimation of smoke. It is similar to the rising of smoke in chemical experiments. It is the denaturation of substances through a series of chemical reactions. To

After completing these steps, * is the foundation, without * nothing can be done!

Wang Zhu looked through it eagerly.

Sulfur exists naturally, and people have been mining it for a long time. Most people at that time called it "gall alum". It is recorded that Lishan and Brishan can collect it for a generation. The ancients had the earliest nitrate, which may be found in the corners of walls and under the roots of houses.

The soil saltpeter is very flammable. Charcoal has existed as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties!

The bamboo slips record in detail the most primitive proportion of mixing sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal. Xu Fu and the pre-Qin alchemists conducted tens of thousands of experiments. As long as you follow the instructions above, you will definitely get fire and light.

No problem.

Poor those alchemists who are addicted to ignorance and immortality. They have no intention of planting willows and willows, but they don't know it. They still insist on taking * as the elixir of immortality. It can be imagined that after taking this medicine, you should not be afraid of catching cold.

It will make your stomach upset.

Things were transferred from the hands of the alchemist to the hands of the military strategist Wang Zhu, and the effect was greatly different. Wang Zhu danced and walked around the room laughing, shouting: "Come here, call Wang Ben."

Xu Ling'er didn't know these things and thought to herself, there is an emperor who doesn't want to live forever. It seems that His Majesty is no different from the First Emperor. I can get honor and favor with my father's alchemy skills.

Wang Ben received a strange order and took people to dig for "gall alum" in the nearby mountains. He also sent people to dig out the walls of each house to find saltpeter. Before leaving, Wang Zhu specifically told him not to dig out the walls.

They have to knock down other people's houses, otherwise they will be punished by military law. Wang Zhu thought to himself, if you don't tell these Qin soldiers who are like hungry wolves, Hangu Pass will be in ruins tomorrow morning.

Of course Wang Ben was confused about this order, but as long as Qin II did not order him to massacre the city, he would still obey the rest of the orders honestly, including those he understood and those he did not understand.

Fifty thousand people were mobilized to dig out walls and mountains, and the activity and efficiency were equally incomparable. In less than midnight, piles of sulfur and saltpeter hills were thrown into the palace courtyard, and there was a pungent and sour smell.

It was so smokey that people couldn't breathe. No one knew what His Majesty Shengming was up to. Wang Zhu also ordered people to find charcoal, which was readily available. Charcoal was a necessary military supply during the winter march.

Wang Zhu studied in the military theory class of the special forces. The mixture of potassium nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal powder is called brown or brown. This mixture is very easy to burn, and the burning is quite intense. If

An explosion will occur when burning in a closed container. When burning, a large amount of gases, such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide, and heat can be produced. The volume of a solid substance that was originally very small suddenly expands to thousands of times.

The container will explode. This is the explosive performance of *.

Just make the gun according to Xu Fu's formula, then find enough jars, fill the gun inside, leave a fuse outside, light it, and launch it with a stone machine. When the jar falls on the ground, it will explode immediately, with countless shrapnel and

The impact of the explosion can kill several people in an instant where the Chu army is densely packed. The most important thing is that the Chu army will be frightened and lose their combat effectiveness, or even be completely defeated. In addition, it can also be wrapped with sheepskin or cloth.

If you hold a gun, tie it to an arrow and shoot it out with a crossbow, if it falls in the enemy's formation, smoke will fly everywhere and sparks will fly, making the Chu army unable to find the north.

Wang Zhu spent an hour personally making a round jar. He filled a jar with a mixture of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal powder, and used cotton thread dipped in tung oil as a fuse on the outside, and then sealed it with three layers of clay.

, it was so tight that no air could pass through it. I put it on the stone machine and found an open place. With a command, the jar flew out with a roar and landed in the open space dozens of feet away. I only heard

There was a loud "boom", which shook the whole earth. Suddenly, fireworks were everywhere, shrapnel flew across the sky, and the moon was covered in thick smoke. There was a crackling sound, and several small trees as thick as arms nearby were struck by the force of the explosion.

Destroy the blow. When the smoke cleared, Wang Ben, who was still in shock, ran forward and took a look. My dear, it was incredible. A large pit as deep as a palm was blown out on the ground. The pit was pitch black, exuding...

The lingering smoke is full of sulfur smell.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is truly a god! We only heard of such weapons during the time of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in ancient times. I didn't expect that I could see it with my own eyes today. Your Majesty is really a living god!" Wang Ben was not flattering, he was really surprised.

He couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. How could thunder be produced out of thin air? He really couldn't think of anything other than thunder and lightning that could produce such an effect.

Wang Zhu was also very excited: "Old General, order these soldiers to make three thousand of them before dawn - the "Thunder Thunder" comes out. I want to give the Chu army an unexpected surprise." Wang Zhu started to laugh.

The scientific name is Hongtianlei.

While the soldiers were rushing to make the 'Thunderbolt', Wang Zhu tried out the 'Fire Thunderbolt' again. It was a rocket. At Wang Zhu's level, he couldn't make a divine fire flying crow. At best, he could only shoot out a big firecracker.

, the lethality is not very great, but if it explodes on a person's arm or thigh, it will definitely be disabled. If it accidentally touches the chest, it will vomit blood and die. If it falls into a dense formation, there will definitely be chaos and trampling on each other. Who let the Chu army

I have never seen the world.

However, it was quite troublesome to make this rocket. Cai Lun was not born yet, so there must be no kraft paper, not even straw paper, so he had to wrap it with thin sheepskin and cotton cloth. The cost was too high and it was too troublesome. Wang Zhu made several

Baiji became impatient and decided to focus on the easy-to-make and powerful Hongtian Lei.
