Chapter 232 Teaching Tang Wuying to Make a Bomb

The so-called dog bomb is to wrap a ball of black powder in aluminum foil or soft cigarette case, tamp it tightly, and explode when it is dropped on the ground.

Because Chongqing is a mountain city with many mountains and dense forests, there were wild dogs and jackals on the mountains in his hometown in the 80s, so basically every household was equipped with muskets and "dog bombs".

With years of constant massacres by villagers, wild dogs and wolves gradually disappeared, and they were basically invisible in the 90s. The muskets and gunpowder of every household in the village were also confiscated by the government, but the method of making dog bombs was retained. down.

Although there is not a lot of gunpowder, people always have a way. Some young people who love to play will buy a lot of firecrackers, and then pour out the gunpowder in the firecrackers little by little, and pour a small bag to make a dog bomb. Experience the feeling of playing bomb.

Until now, there is still a kind of firecracker specially for children, which uses the principle of thunderbolt. That kind of firecracker has no fuze, and it explodes when it is dropped on the ground.

If the masters of the Tang Sect knew that their powerful weapon, Thunderbolt, would become a child's toy in later generations, I don't know how they would feel.

"Haven't you ever thought of detonating gunpowder with a fuse?" Ouyang Fei asked in surprise.

Tang Wuying was startled when he heard the words, and asked back, "What is the fuse?"

After Ouyang Fei finished speaking, he remembered that the real fuse only appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is still three or four hundred years away from now!
"Okay! I will teach you how to make the first big weapon today. After this big weapon is made, the city gate will not be an obstacle to you in the future. If there is enough gunpowder, even the city wall can be easily destroyed. .”

Tang Wuying's eyes brightened. What does brother mean, if this thing is made, it can even blow open the city gates and walls?You don’t have to play so big right from the get-go, right?Shouldn't it be gradual?But...it's so exciting, I like it.

"Go and find some sackcloth and an empty wine jar. In addition, get some gunpowder and vinegar. If you can't get gunpowder for a while, get some saliva (the ancient word for saltpeter), limestone (sulphur), and Here comes the charcoal.”

Tang Wuying wrote down one by one, he naturally knew why Ouyang Fei wanted those three things, because they were exactly the formula of gunpowder.

After spending most of the day, Tang Wuying took a group of Tangmen disciples to find all the things, and the two brothers were busy in the camp like a raging fire, with no one else beside them except the Tangmen disciples.

Everyone knew that Ouyang Fei was teaching Tang Wuying the secret method of making weapons, and people in Jianghu were very particular about this aspect.

Without the permission of the person concerned, you must not approach without permission, otherwise you will be suspected of stealing the teacher, which is a big taboo in the Jianghu.

I saw that Ouyang Fei first boiled a pot of vinegar, and when the vinegar boiled, he put some linen into the vinegar and boiled it.

After cooking, the linen cloth is taken out to dry, cut into uniform strips, and then the prepared black powder is evenly sprinkled on the linen strips, and finally the linen strips sprinkled with gunpowder are twisted up and twisted into ropes, and the gunpowder is naturally wrapped. in it.

"Okay, this is the fuse, let's try the effect first." Ouyang Fei cut off a two-inch piece of fuse with scissors, and put the burning incense head on one end of the fuse.

"Chichichi..."

The fuse quickly burst into flames and burned all the way. The two-inch fuse burned out smoothly after more than ten seconds. Ouyang Fei nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, it's successful. With this thing, there are many big killers. It can be manufactured.”

Tang Wuying was still a little confused up to now, and said in a puzzled way: "Brother, what is the use of this fuse?"

Ouyang Fei smiled slightly, and said: "Just look at it, and bring the empty wine jar."

Upon hearing this, the disciple of the Tang Sect at the side immediately took an empty wine jar loaded with ten catties and handed it to Ouyang Fei. Ouyang Fei looked at the big wine jar, glanced at the disciple of the Tang Sect speechlessly, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, change to a small wine jar." Yes! It’s fine if you can hold two or three catties, I don’t want to die yet.”

The disciple of the Tang Sect was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly changed to a small wine bottle, the one that holds three catties. Ouyang Fei just took it, and began to fill it with black powder with a wooden spoon, and filled it for an hour and a half. , Use a wooden pole wrapped in a thick cloth to tamp the gunpowder before continuing to load it.

Ouyang Fei repeatedly filled the wine bottle with gunpowder and tamped it firmly. After filling most of the altar, he inserted a one-foot-long fuse into it, and then filled the wine bottle until it was even with the mouth of the bottle.

Finally, cover the oilcloth, make a hole in the oilcloth, let the fuse pass through, tie the oilcloth tightly, and an improvised bomb is completed.

In the Tang Dynasty, one catty was about 660 grams, and the three catties of gunpowder was nearly two kilograms in later generations. After the black powder was compacted, it was placed in a closed and narrow utensil such as a clay pot, and the power of the explosion was quite powerful.

Compared with TNT, the explosive power of black powder is 0.6 to 1, and the power of one kilogram of TNT is equivalent to twenty grenades. The power of two kilograms of compacted black powder will not be weaker than one kilogram of TNT.

Holding the wine bottle in his hand, Ouyang Fei proudly said to Tang Wuying: "Wuying, do you know how powerful this wine bottle is?"

Tang Wuying asked tentatively: "It must be stronger than Palm Thunder, right?"

Ouyang Fei curled his lips in disdain, and said, "The palm thunder? Twenty palm thunders exploded at once, and this one wine bottle is enough to blow up a house with a radius of five feet into ruins."

"If some fine iron beads or even gravel are added to it, and it explodes in an open space, within a radius of ten feet, there will be no chickens or dogs left, and within twenty feet, there will be a narrow chance of death."

"What? So powerful?" Tang Wuying was really taken aback this time, and the disciples of the Tang Sect next to him were also quite surprised.

"Let's go! There is no evidence for what you say, let's go outside the city and try." Ouyang Fei left the camp with the bomb in his hand, and went straight to the outside of the city. Tang Wuying and others hurriedly followed.

Seeing them going outside the camp, many people came up curiously to ask what was going on, and after hearing the explanation from the disciples of the Tang Sect, they all followed behind with great interest.

In the end, even Fang Gan, Li Chengen, Yan Wangqing and others were alarmed, and everyone came out to follow Ouyang Fei, and a group of hundreds of people went out of the city in a mighty manner.

The camp was not far from Chaoxi Gate, and everyone left the city quickly. When they arrived at the place where the heavy machine gun was tested last time, Ouyang Fei still found a hill, dug a shallow hole and put the earth bomb in it, and then said to everyone : "Everyone back out fifty feet away, otherwise it is easy to be accidentally injured by broken tiles flying out."

Although everyone felt that their martial arts were so strong that they could avoid it even if they couldn't stop it, no one asked for trouble.

After everyone retreated fifty feet, Ouyang Fei asked Tang Wuying to light the fuse himself.

"Flash!"

As soon as the fuse was lit, Ouyang Fei immediately used Qing Gong, pulled Tang Wuying and flew away, and ran to where everyone gathered.

Everyone waited for ten breaths, but there was still no movement, they looked at Ouyang Fei suspiciously.

"Don't worry, don't worry, this time for safety, I set the explosion time to be longer, Wuying can set the time according to the actual situation in the future."

Tang Wuying nodded clearly. The timing of the explosion is naturally controlled by the length of the fuse, which he still understands.

"Boom"

Thirty seconds later, the soil bomb exploded.
