For a long time, the faint light illuminated the bamboo slip in Cao Chong's hand, he looked at the bamboo slip carefully, and suddenly, a trace of memory in his mind was hooked.
One nitrate, two sulfon, three charcoal This is what Cao Chong saw on a post in later generations, and he thought it was interesting at the time, so he read it, and now he sees Zhang Wen's recipe, the ratio of saltpeter charcoal and sulfur, and he can't help but think of that post.
As the saying goes: one nitrate, two sulfur, three charcoal, but the actual manufacture of gunpowder is not so simple.
For example, saltpeter, its preparation is not so simple.
First of all, use the big iron pot used by the common people to cook, add water and then put the soil nitrate into the pot, boil the water, so that the nitrate dissolves in the water, and the debris in the soil nitrate floats on the water surface, and then uses the cowhide glue to make glue, pour it into the pot, stir and make the debris that sinks at the bottom of the pot float up, and then use the iron spoon to get out.
This is repeated many times, and the nitrate solution in the pot is cleaned.
Then spread a thick layer of dry plant ash on the ground, and then spread a white muslin cloth on top, and put the crystallized pieces of nitrate in the pot on the white cloth for moisture absorption.
After repeating this 23 times, pure nitrate is made.
This is to make nitrate, and the clumps of gunpowder-like things in Cao Chong's hands, its saltpeter is made of earth nitrate, and it is one thing to greatly reduce its power, the key is that it may not sound And charcoal, is not simply charcoal fired from wood, charcoal is made of willow that grows in Huaibei area, and later due to the gradual scarcity of willow sources, they use hemp straw to put in the diesel empty barrel and burn it into charcoal by sealing method, and the quality is better than willow charcoal.
Of course, this diesel drum is a modern object, but Cao Chong can also make an iron drum, as long as it meets the two conditions of sealing and calcination, it also meets the requirements.
The final process is mixing.
When mixing, they first dissolve the pure nitrate in water, then put the sulfur into the pot and stir it, and then put the hemp straw charcoal into it, absorb it dry and then prepare it to be crushed.
The powder, grains, and lumps of black powder that was crushed and dried in the sun burned very unevenly, and they sifted it through a sieve until it was made into uniform powder particles.
Of course, that post also has a damp-proof method, so Cao Chong will not recall it for the time being, but just the information from his own memory is tens of thousands of times better than the formula of the bamboo slip in Zhang Wen's hand One is the crystallization of 5,000 years of science, and the other is the result of a short period of thought by an alchemist, and the difference between the two is self-evident Cao Chong pinched the gunpowder particles the size of a toy bullet in his hand and fell silent, but this made Zhang Wen a little anxious.
This Seventh Prince Cao is not going to break his word "Childe" Zhang Wen weakly called Cao Chong, which can be regarded as waking Cao Chong up from deep thought Zhang Wen wrote a whole bamboo slip, and with excessive blood loss, he didn't faint, which is a good thing But Cao Chong was not ready to let him go As the saying goes: cutting grass does not remove roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows What he did today, cutting off his arm, would definitely be hated by Zhang Wen, and he still had the Jindan immortal elixir in his hand Eh, although Cao Chong doesn't believe that this is an immortal medicine, he can't stand the superstitions of this era, he can live forever by eating an elixir, who doesn't want to If he said that he moved some big people, it would be a big disadvantage to himself This risk cannot be taken moreover Cao Chong looked up at Huan Ye, who served Zhang Wen like a slave, and knew that if he didn't let him see Zhang Wen's true face, he wouldn't wake up from this so-called dream of immortality If he is obsessed with immortality and eats this chronic poison of heavy metals, Cao Chong feels that his death is now His death is naturally harmless, but on the side of Mrs.
Huan, it is not easy to fool, not to mention, although Huan Ye is incompetent, his loyalty is definitely much better than that of the Xin family's newly attached families.
Save his loyal subordinates, Cao Chong naturally has to do this thing "Zhang Wen, what's the matter with you?"
What's the matter Zhang Wen's eyes widened, and there was an urge to scold his mother in his heart, you Cao Chong will not be the kind of person who is ruthless, oh no, turn his face and don't recognize people I said it well before, but now it's a hexagram So Zhang Wen had to remind Cao Chong again.
"Childe, it's the previous agreement" "Oh agreement, naturally count, Daoist Zhang doesn't need to worry" Before Zhang Wen could breathe, Cao Chong said again.
"However, I also have a condition" Zhang Wen's heart was naturally angry, and his originally pale face was now flushed with anger You Cao Chong is a figure with a head and a face, you can't be so brazen "Childe, please say" People have to bow their heads under the eaves, even if Zhang Wen feels uncomfortable, he has to swallow this breath.
"You ate this golden pill on the spot" Ate Jindan on the spot Zhang Wen looked confused, thinking that he had misheard "I want to eat an immortal golden pill on the spot" grunt As soon as these words came out, Cao Chong could easily see the sound of Huan Ye swallowing saliva, and the expression that even his eyes were motionless. hehe The so-called Jin Dan is just a poison, and this Zhang Wen has lost too much blood, and now that he has eaten this poison, it is very likely that he will go directly to Taishan Mansion Jun and send you to die in advance, so you don't need to thank me "Yes, Dao Chief, you wrote the formula for gunpowder for Cao Chong, I will give you an immortal golden pill now, and in addition, I will also give you a golden pill."
"What Childe said is true" Cao Chong showed a row of white teeth on his face, his face was innocent, and he smiled youngly.
"Naturally, I, Cao Chong, am hard to chase after a word" "A good boy is really a hero" Zhang Wen's face was overjoyed, and he didn't know if the boy in front of him was really stupid or fake, this was an elixir of immortality Zhang Wen boasted that he had opened countless furnaces and practiced the immortal medicine of today's quality, which was the first time, and the effect of this immortal medicine might really be able to achieve the so-called immortality.
You Cao Chong don't want it Wow-ha-ha Zhang Wen laughed wildly in his heart, already thinking about how to use this golden pill for his own benefit in the future, or even revenge The pain in Zhang Wen's body seemed to disappear in an instant, he picked up the box in his hand, opened it with a pilgrimage-like etiquette, and finally kowtowed to the stone statue of Taishang Laojun, before swallowing the golden pill the size of a dragon's eye in one bite.
As soon as Jin Dan swallowed, Cao Chong could see a touch of loneliness in Huanye's eyes, as well as Gao Yi's trembling hands This is an elixir of immortality Eat one, and you will be immortal Cao Chong touched the short sword at his waist in his hand, a sneer gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he quietly watched Zhang Wen's performance A golden pill was swallowed, Zhang Wen was smiling, and his face was red, which made people look at it and look like they were in a lot of energy.
But Cao Chong knows that this is not the so-called spirit, but the role of psychology, the role of the heart is invincible, which can make a person scare himself to death Naturally, you can also give your body some hints to make your situation better.
Tick tock A moment passes suddenly The smile on Zhang Wen's face froze, his hands covered his neck, his eyes rolled, and he began to foam at the mouth:
