People really don't want to work overtime in Daxia

Chapter 45 176 experiments

The crisp sound of the explosion startled everyone, and they all opened their eyes wide to see clearly, but they couldn't see anything clearly due to the billowing smoke.

When the black smoke dissipated and the inside gradually revealed, everyone stepped forward to have a look.

A small pit appeared on the ground, surrounded by black smoke.

"My lord, is this a success?" Lu Laowu pointed to the ground under his feet and said, "This bamboo piece should have been broken into the ground after the explosion."

Yu Qing looked at it, shook his head, and said, "No, don't look at the bamboo piece inserted into the soil, but the soil here is soft, but it can be inserted with some force." Yu Qing kicked the piece with his foot The ground, as expected, is very soft.

"My lord, can the bamboo pieces be used as containers?"

"Yes, the lethality of bamboo is too small." Yu Qing picked up the bamboo slice and looked at it and said, "For example, if you chop armor with a big knife and a bamboo knife, the effect is very different."

"Then you still have to think about what to use!"

For several days, Yu Qing and the craftsmen were immersed in thinking, experimenting every time they came up with something.

"Experiments 176, begin!"

As the voice fell, black shadows flew across the air.

"Bang!" "Bang bang!"

Explosions sounded in front, a puff of smoke enveloped the place, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke.

The smoke dissipated, the ground was covered with small pits, the ground was already pitch black, and the scarecrows standing on the ground also fell to the ground.

The armor on the scarecrow was full of fragments of wood and iron sheet, Yu Qing went over and took a look at the armor.

A lot of fragments were inserted, and some even penetrated the armor. Seeing the effect, Yu Qing was very satisfied.

"My lord? Is it done this time?" Lu Laowu asked with a trembling voice.

Yu Qing looked around. The craftsmen who had not washed up for a long time were all looking at him with disheveled faces.

Yu Qing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, nodded and said, "It's done!"

After the words fell silent, Yu Qing was a little puzzled, shouldn't it be time to celebrate?
Unexpectedly, everyone suddenly started yelling, cheering, hugging, and yelling.

Yu Qing was very happy watching this scene, and only after participating in it would he know what these people have paid for these days.

Everyone tried their best to solve the problem, and no one even left. They finished eating in a few minutes and continued to study and build. They worked for several days except sleeping.

For a moment, everyone looked at Yu Qing, and he couldn't help but step back a few steps with his fiery gaze, and said fiercely, "You...what are you going to do?"

Everyone didn't speak but just smiled, and the scene became even weirder, and everyone rushed towards Yu Qing in an instant.

Yu Qing subconsciously prepared to defend, but he didn't expect to be thrown up by everyone.The feeling of weightlessness from the ground was accompanied by people's cheers, and Yu Qing grinned loudly.

Finally, mass production began according to the design of the 176 experiments. The appearance was Yu Qing's previous design with a big head and a small tail. The top was a small square made of iron, and the bottom was a handle made of wood or bamboo.

Some iron nails and iron filings were put on the top, and finally some gunpowder was filled, and the lead wire ran through from the top to the bottom, so that there was a period of buffer to throw out after it was ignited.

Lu Laowu came over with the finished product and asked Yu Qing, "My lord, what's the name for this thing?"

Yu Qing thought for a while and said, "Let's call it gunpowder bomb!" After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Lu Laowu standing there alone thinking.

My lord got this name. Gunpowder egg, gunpowder egg. Egg!There's nothing wrong with it, there's something inside when the gunpowder egg is cracked open like an egg.

Putting it in the fire is the same as gunpowder eggs, and the eggs will explode if you throw them in directly. What a genius, my lord!

Gunpowder bombs were being cast in the research institute for a while, and the sound of "clinking" iron was full from dawn to dark.

The filled gunpowder bombs were put into wooden boxes and kept in a special place in the backyard. Since the experiment was successful and the power of the gunpowder bombs was seen, the research institute completely followed Yu Qing's rules without seeing open flames.

One is just that powerful. If the entire research institute is blown up, the courtyard will probably go to heaven!

The Great Xia Emperor's Capital was in dire straits at this time, and everyone started to pretend to be sick that morning.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer ministers in the main hall, and only small officials in twos and threes remained, Su Boxiu suddenly didn't want to go to court.

In the study, Eunuch Qi stood aside, his face was very gloomy since His Majesty came back early.

"The six ministers of the upper court and others didn't come today, so I cough, cough, cough!" Su Boxiu coughed violently a few times.

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Qi hurried forward to pat his back and handed him some water.

Su Boxiu took a sip of water and coughed a few times before recovering, and sat there with blank eyes.

Eunuch Qi whispered in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty? Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

"I didn't expect that the civil and military officials of Daxia would look like this! I didn't expect it!"

"Your Majesty, all the adults are just asking for leave, and they will all come to court after a while."

Su Boxiu smiled wryly and shook his head, "You think it's such a coincidence, don't you have something important to talk about today? Tell me!"

Seeing Su Boxiu's current appearance, Eunuch Qi wanted to speak but didn't know what to say, should he say it or not.

"Speak! I'm listening!" The gentleman said without anger and prestige.

Eunuch Qi stood at the bottom of the steps and knelt down on the ground and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Dark Blade has recently discovered that the ministers of the court have changed!"

"Almost everyone is pretending to be sick and asking for leave, but they usually go out a lot. Some ministers even have contacts with Koreans."

With a "bang", the table case was shaken by Su Boxiu's palm, "Who is in contact, and what did they say?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, except for Du Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry who doesn't care about world affairs, the six ministers are not connected, and everyone else is connected." Qi Gonggong paused and continued, "The same is true for the rest of the officials. Those who have contacts with the Koreans have contacts with the Ministry of Officials. Those who want to be transferred to the south to serve."

"As for what was said, the slave doesn't know yet." Eunuch Qi said helplessly, "It's not easy for those adults to insert people around."

Su Boxiu was furious and cursed inwardly, what good can be done by contacting the Korean people these days, it's just selling me for glory.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing a few times. I guess I can still sit on the throne now. I'm afraid it's because they haven't negotiated terms with the Koreans, otherwise I would have been forced into the palace long ago!
Su Boxiu probably didn't expect his guess to be so accurate. At this time, there were many people gathered in an ordinary house in the imperial capital. It looked inconspicuous and dark from the outside, but there were many people guarding it.

And in this room, there are only six seats, one is empty and the other five are seated on it, and the rest are standing on both sides and whispering.
