Chapter 261 My Barracks My Soldiers
There is a saying that goes one step ahead of others is a genius, ten steps ahead is a monster...
Although the rate is inexperienced, but the eloquence can be understood, this can be understood as high talent, brilliant, and the cultivation of arithmetic is astonishing, this can also be explained by extraordinary talent, although the above two things are a bit unbelievable, but generally acceptable , It can also be used as a beautiful story to spread to the world.
However, if Fang Jun produced powerful black powder out of thin air, I am afraid His Majesty Li Er's first reaction would not be to praise him for his outstanding contribution to the modernization and reform of the Tang army, but to tie him up as a monster and light a sky lantern. ...
In this era when the science and technology system is almost zero, there are some things beyond people's comprehension, which are very likely to cause great panic.
So Fang Jun intends to say that he got the advice of a Taoist priest, got something that can produce poisonous smoke when burned, and then made a lot of miscellaneous things, cross-matched them, and made a lot of things out of nowhere Each recipe, one by one, and then "removing the chaff and keeping the essence, striving for perfection" to eliminate the wrong or unreasonable recipes, and finally "wisely and wisely" discover the real black powder recipe...
Although cumbersome and boring, it is the best disguise.
The house was built quickly. The temperature in May is getting higher and higher. After working outdoors for a while, you will be sweating profusely. In addition, it does not rain at all, so the house will be dehumidified within a few days. Add some simple furniture and items, and you can move in with your bags.
Regarding Fang Jun's tossing ability, His Majesty Li Er is not only not surprised, but has great expectations, although he does not think that the so-called "can produce toxic smoke" on the playlist is of much use. ...
But Fang Jun can often give surprises inadvertently, and His Majesty Li Er agrees with this.For example, that set of movable type printing is guarded by His Majesty Li Er in the palace, and no one is allowed to leak the secrets. He is waiting for an appropriate time to give those aristocratic families a fatal blow that can destroy their foundation...
Now that the experiment has just started, almost every day, there will be puffs of thick smoke on the hillside opposite the barracks, accompanied by noises of varying degrees of severity, which startled the animals and birds in the nearby mountains to almost disappear.
Although most of the so-called formulas are just Fang Jun's random mixes without any real effect, there are always some formulas that produce effects close to those of black powder.
After another muffled sound, Zhao Genwang, the oldest and most senior among the old craftsmen, ran over with a card, and said excitedly with snot and tears: "Young prisoner, it's done!"
Fang Jun is in his office away from the laboratory, using a monocular made of the latest product of the glass workshop, a concave lens, to observe the experiment on the opposite hillside.
This formula is already relatively close to the real formula of black gunpowder, except that in addition to the wrong ratio of charcoal, sulfur and saltpeter, there are also some other strange things mixed in, such as tung oil and turpentine.
After the explosion, the high-temperature tung oil and turpentine were sprayed on the nearby trees and burned. Fortunately, it is almost summer now, and the plants are wet and tender grass, otherwise a wildfire would have to be triggered.
"Calm down! Grandpa Zhao, there is still a long way to go, never be satisfied with the status quo, always believe that you can do better in the next moment, and keep working hard!" Fang Jun closed his eyes and fooled around.
Hearing this, Zhao Genwang really calmed down.
In this proving ground, Fang Jun is definitely a special existence.
As the young supervisor of the Military Weapons Supervisor, he can be said to be the top boss of these old craftsmen, and he has a Marquis in his body, so he must say the same thing.
But that is not the case.
This Shangguan never discriminates against craftsmen, whether they are old-fashioned or those who build houses... Normally, they are very kind when they speak. If they have any ideas, they will try their best to discuss with everyone and discuss with each other. Come up with a plan that everyone agrees on.
So the atmosphere in the testing ground is very good, and sometimes these old craftsmen even think: I have worked hard for Datang for most of my life, and it would be a good thing if I could die in such a place...
That's right, everyone thought that Fang Jun came to the mountains just because he was lazy. He pretended to be trial-manufacturing new weapons, but in reality he was just playing tricks.
But as the experiments continued to deepen, these old craftsmen became restless.
Two days ago, some powder that could burn violently was prepared, and then Fang Jun ordered someone to put it into a clay pot and ignite it with a fuse.
Then... with a "bang", a three-foot-square hillside was flattened, and the fragments of broken clay pots were even nailed into more than half of the tree trunk next to it...
Gradually, everyone felt something was wrong.
How can this be lazy and slippery, this is really the rhythm of developing a new type of weapon that has never been seen before...
If the clay pot was set on fire and thrown into the formation of the Turkic cavalry, it would probably scare the Turkic war horses into shock!
Everyone's attitude towards Fang Jun changed from being close to Fang Jun, and gradually became respectful and important.
Fang Jun silently looked at the thick smoke billowing on the hillside, which inspired him.
Who said that only black powder is the ultimate goal?
Incendiary bombs can sometimes accomplish more far-reaching strategic goals...
Just imagine, when the siege can't be attacked for a long time, using a trebuchet to throw this kind of incendiary bomb into the enemy's city, not to mention how many enemies are killed, the blow to the enemy's morale will definitely be fatal!If you can find things that are flammable and difficult to extinguish, such as oil, it will be more powerful.
Tens of thousands projected over, burning can burn a city into nothingness...
From then on, the history of human wars will be rewritten!The thick walls of the strong city will not be able to hold on. Under the overwhelming offensive of incendiary bombs, all "solid as solid as a rock" will no longer exist, even if it is a real stone, it can burn cracks!
At this time, a fast horse appeared in the telescope.
Immediately, the knight was majestic and majestic. He rode his horse and ran along the mountain road, and rushed to the barracks in a blink of an eye.
A group of soldiers in leather armor immediately surrounded him, forcing the knight to stop his horse. Although he was too far away to hear what he was saying, he could still see clearly through the binoculars. His soldiers were unmoved.
Finally, the knight got annoyed and tried to disperse the group of soldiers with a whip, but he didn't think about it. Just as he whipped the whip, he was pulled by the tip of the whip and dragged off the horse...
***********
"Hiss... Take it easy!"
Cheng Chubi's upper body was bare, and the doctor in the barracks applied ointment for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis on his face, and he yelled loudly when he was touched by the wound.
Fang Jun watched cheerfully from the side.
Cheng Chubi said angrily: "What's so funny? A good tiger can't stand a pack of wolves. If it's really one-on-one, I'll make these little bastards get down with one hand! Oh, take it easy..."
The doctor suppressed a smile, and after applying the ointment, he bowed and retreated.
"Where did you find such a group of boys? You're so ruthless!" Cheng Chubi was also naked, sitting in a dainty manner, complaining.
"They were all selected from Zhuangzi, including domestic servants and former disaster victims. This place is too important and must be guarded, so gather these young men and act as guards."
Fang Jun explained with a smile.
Although His Majesty Li Er doesn't pay much attention to this barracks now, it is conceivable that once the black powder is successfully developed and His Majesty Li Er sees the powerful power beyond the times, he will definitely regard it as the top secret of the empire!
Before that, Fang Jun must ensure that the formula of black powder cannot be leaked, otherwise not only will he lose the credit, but he may even be suspected by His Majesty Li Er.If such a powerful thing is spread, the emperor Laozi can still sleep?
I gathered this group of young men and trained them, and they would become my own soldiers in the future.When this place is taken over by His Majesty Li Er's Imperial Forest Army, he will also go west with the army, and then he will be able to bring these people with him to protect his own safety.
These years are full of chaos, always prepared for any danger, Fang Jun doesn't want to be caught by the barbarians and eat wonton noodles...
"It's better to come here less often in the future. If there's anything you need, just send someone to talk about it."
Fang Jun had to remind that there was absolutely no need for Cheng Chubi to get involved with the huge secret of black powder here.
Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Do you think that XX is willing to come? It wasn't your Princess Gaoyang who pestered my princess's sister-in-law to go to the temple fair to join in the fun, so XX was ordered to inform you, when the time comes Incomparably as a bodyguard, to protect the beauty's safety..."
Princess Gaoyang...
Fang Jun was a little depressed, this girl seems to have taken a fancy to him, what's the matter?
Alas, the charm is too great, but also troubles...
