Zhang Heng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down and said happily: “Thank you sir, sir, just ask, the common people know everything and tell me everything!”

Lu Ming nodded.。

“As a merchant, you must have traveled extensively and seen a lot. Let me ask you, do you know what gunpowder is?”

“gunpowder? ”

Zhang Heng frowned, thought for a moment and then shook his head.。

“Caomin has been doing business since he was a child, traveling to and from various places in Dacheng all the year round. He has set foot in various vassal states of Beishuo and Dacheng. He has never heard of what gunpowder is.。”

“Is there any unparalleled magical power in the world, and one practitioner can defeat a hundred?”

“Absolutely no such thing! ”

Lu Ming asked He Songsheng again.。

“He Duizheng, what kind of weapons does Dacheng have? He

Songsheng replied: “Swords, guns, crossbows, armor and shields, siege engines, trebuchets and so on.” ”

That is to say.

Before the players entered this era, it was still a completely cold weapon era. Not to mention muskets, even black powder had not been invented yet. Let

alone its application in the military field.

But don’t think that you can prepare black powder. You can fight a head-on battle with the regular army, if there is not a big enough gap in weapons. The performance

of the flintlock gun alone is not enough to crush the cold weapon era. After all, the effective range of the flintlock gun is only about 100 meters, and the maximum range is barely There are 200 meters.

Within this distance, crossbows are also very lethal.

The advantage of early firearms over archers in the cold weapon era is reflected in the training time. A qualified archer must train for at least several years.

A musketeer only It is enough to learn to load, aim and shoot within a few days. The resources and time invested in the training process are very different between the two.

Lu Ming was very happy to learn that black powder had not been born yet. , he has been at the forefront of this era since he started.

The formula of black powder is very simple. There is no doubt that other players can also make it. However, Lu Ming has a technology tree, and the development speed of the two parties is not at the same level.

He Waved his hands.

Zhang Heng and He Songsheng understood。

“The grassroots resign!”

“Resign from humble position! ”

After the two left, Lu Ming took out all the materials he found. Iron, hardwood and flint were the raw materials for making flintlock guns, while saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal were the raw materials for making black powder. Close the door. Lu

Ming

triggered Tech tree。

Immediately.

The raw materials on the ground began to mix, shape and structure automatically under the influence of an invisible force. In just a few breaths, five flintlock guns and a can of black powder were placed in front of Lu Ming.

The speed is so fast that it can be said that it is almost in the blink of an eye.。

When the two are completed, the next level of branch technology will be unlocked immediately.。

As the saying goes, add a little white sugar to the charcoal of mononitrate, disulfide, and three charcoal. White sugar seems to have nothing to do with black gunpowder. In fact, you only need to mix white sugar and black gunpowder in a certain proportion.

This can greatly increase the power of black gunpowder, and also greatly reduce the amount of black gunpowder used. The most important thing is that white sugar is particularly scarce in this era.

Basically only wealthy people can afford it, and they don’t have to worry about sales.

If you want to develop, make money from sugar, develop the economy, purchase raw materials to make equipment, and climb the technology tree. This is a very feasible way!

Preparation of white sugar is not difficult.

It is easy to obtain white sugar by directly

However, without the acceleration of the technology tree, this method would take a long time.

Subsequently.

Lu Ming continues to trigger the technology tree。

The remaining iron was shaped by the invisible force and turned into hundreds of round projectiles in the blink of an eye, just enough to fit into the barrel of a flintlock gun.。

The next day.

He Songsheng came to Lu Ming’s door with a bag of arsenic in his hand.。

“Sir, the arsenic you want。”

“Come in. ”

Opening the door, He Songsheng saw Lu Ming standing aside, looking at him indifferently. Lu Ming then asked him: “He Duizheng, may I trust you?”

“My lord, I am loyal to you! ”

Hearing this,

He Songsheng knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said sincerely: “If I have a different intention in my humble position, I will not risk my life to escort you here. As long as I have your orders, I will not give up even if I am humble!””

“good.

Lu Ming said: “Then eat the arsenic in your hand. ” ”

As soon as he finished speaking,

He Songsheng swallowed the arsenic in his hand without saying a word, even if he took it with his own hands, even if he was sure that it was arsenic.。

“Sir, humble position……”

Said.

He Songsheng fell to the ground.

Actually.

This was just a pack of diluted Mongolian sweat medicine. Lu Ming didn’t really want to poison He Songsheng to death, but if this man didn’t dare to take the medicine, Lu Ming would never dare to believe him again.

In modern times, it would be difficult for anyone to be so loyal. If you want him to die, he might kill you on the spot. But in the feudal era, people who have loyalty, etiquette, and dignity engraved in their hearts can really do it because of your words without hesitation. The words will make one’s ambition clear through death.

Lu Ming had a gun in his hand. If He Songsheng had made any dangerous move before, he would have killed He Songsheng with one shot.

Lu Ming is in urgent need of an absolutely loyal confidant, and He Songsheng is a good candidate, but he has not been tested, so he is not confident about this person.

Heart is under the kyte.

Whether you say he is suspicious or overly worried, you cannot take him lightly.

I do not know how long it has been.

He Songsheng covered his head and got up from the ground. Only then did he realize that what he had just eaten was not arsenic, otherwise he would not be able to wake up now.

Lu Ming helped him up and said: “He Duizheng, from today on, you will serve as my guard, and my life and safety will be entrusted to you.。”

“Taking orders from a humble position! ”

He Songsheng looked serious and was very respectful.。

“You have to carefully select the people in the Guards. It is best if they are people who have no father or mother and no worries. I want them to be loyal to me to the greatest extent.。”

“yes! ”

While speaking.

Lu Ming took He Songsheng to an open area outside the village. A pair of iron armor was hung on a tree five steps away. In front of He Songsheng, Lu Ming raised the flintlock in his hand. The gun pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Suddenly,

like a thunderous explosion,

a cloud of white smoke rose up.

Even He Songsheng, who had always looked serious and calm, couldn’t help being frightened. He said in shock: “Sir, How could this fire stick make such a thunderous sound? ”

Lu Ming threw the flintlock gun in his hand to He Songsheng, and He Songsheng quickly caught it. Lu Ming walked to the armor and knocked on it. He saw a small hole that penetrated the armor from front to back.。

“This thing is called a musket. Within thirty feet, only a small projectile can penetrate gold and stone. It is very powerful. The most important thing is that even a child can use it easily. ”

He Songsheng looked even more shocked.。

“Doesn’t that mean anyone can be compared to an archer who has been trained for many years? !”

“That’s right. “
