Datang romantic little landlord

In the history of human hot weapons, black powder is the beginning of the era of hot weapons, but strictly speaking, the power of black powder is not great.

In terms of physical data, the detonation velocity of black powder is only 500 meters per second.

The TNT explosives of later generations have a detonation velocity of 920 meters per second, nitroglycerin has a detonation velocity of 8000 meters per second, and C4 explosives have a detonation velocity of [-] meters per second, all of which can turn black powder into slag in seconds.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the explosive pack made by Niu Wu and the others is not very powerful, at least much less powerful than the explosive pack used by the Eighth Route Army during the War of Resistance Against Japan.

But even so, when the explosive package made of eight or nine catties of black powder showed the power of hot weapons to humans for the first time in this world, its huge roar and explosive power still shocked everyone present. petrified.

On the training ground of the Fubing, accompanied by a thunderous roar, the flames suddenly appeared, and the shock wave generated by the explosion directly blew up the loess on the training ground, and a huge dust column was raised on the ground.

After the black powder exploded, a huge puff of black smoke shot up into the sky.

And the huge sound produced by the explosion shook the ears of everyone even more, roaring and buzzing.

Li Wangyou was smart. When the yamen servant ignited the fuse, he covered his ears with his hands and opened his mouth to offset the shock wave from the explosion.

Therefore, when the explosive package was detonated, he was the first to recover.

In fact, the explosion of the explosive package also shocked Li Wangyou.

After all, in his later life, apart from seeing explosions in movies and TV shows, he had no chance to truly experience the shock of explosions up close.

As for Niu Wu and the Zhang family brothers, they also opened their mouths wide at this time, with terrified expressions on their faces.

Originally, in their eyes, it was just a "large explosive pole" explosive package. After being ignited, it would produce such a violent explosion, which was beyond the expectations of the three of them.

This kind of explosive shock like a thunderbolt made the three of them finally believe that what their husband asked them to make was really not a toy explosive pole, but a "thunderbolt and thunder" that could be used to kill people!

Dugufeng, the county magistrate of Jiulong County, was also staring blankly at the column of smoke rising from the explosion, speechless for a while.

And the several yamen servants who followed Dugufeng's legs became weak, and they all knelt down and kowtowed to the location where the explosion happened, praying desperately.

In their view, there is no other explanation for the fury of thunder other than the legendary fairy magic.

The yamen servants looked at Li Wangyou with a bit of fear and awe in their eyes.

After Li Wangyou came back to his senses, he couldn't help laughing.

The power of the explosive package was completely in line with his imagination.

In this way, as long as you have a bag of explosives in your hand, are you still worried about those Liao people besieging the city?

I'm afraid that when those Liao people attacked the city again, throwing a few packs of explosives down and killing a group of people would scare the shit out of everyone else and run back to the mountains.

"Haha, Dugu Mingfu, how is it? Are you satisfied with the power of this thunderbolt?"

Li Wangyou pretended to smile slightly at Dugufeng, waiting for the county magistrate of Jiulong County to worship and admire him.

But what he said was a wink from a blind man.

Dugufeng rubbed his ears vigorously, as if roaring, he asked, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? I can't hear you!"

Li Wangyou rolled his eyes silently, he's a moron, he forgot to tell them to cover their ears just now.

Obviously, all the people in this meeting could only hear tinnitus, and what he said was in vain.

After waiting for a while, when everyone's ears had almost recovered, Li Wangyou signaled Dugufeng and himself to see the effect of the explosion.

However, Li Wangyou always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, and when he looked around, he slapped his forehead, emotionally forgetting the "warrior" who lit the fuse!

Looking back to find that person again, I finally saw that yamen servant was struggling to get up from the ground, but he seemed to be injured a little bit, his face seemed to be scratched by flying stones, and blood was already flowing down.

Li Wangyou hurriedly asked Niu Wu and the Zhang family brothers to see if the yamen servant was okay.

When the black powder explosive package exploded, the shock wave generated was not very strong, but the gravel mixed in by Li Wangyou was deadly.

Fortunately, the yamen servant ran fast. At a distance of [-] or [-] steps, the splashed stones were no longer lethal. They just scratched his skin and looked like he was bleeding a lot. Just a skin injury.

After confirming that the yamen servant was not injured, Li Wangyou and Dugufeng encouraged him, and ordered him to see a doctor before everyone continued to check the effect of the explosion.

The pillar on which the explosive package had been hung had long since disappeared, and a crater with a diameter of one meter and a depth of about half a meter had already been blasted into the ground of the practice field which had been rammed very firmly.

As for those poor second senior brothers who were a few meters away from the explosion point, needless to say at this moment, they all fell to the ground, bleeding from their mouths and noses, and even the pigs had many holes opened by the flying stones, and the blood flowed profusely , looks so pitiful...

"Tsk tsk, I'm sorry for these pigs." Li Wangyou said hypocritically, then turned to look at Dugufeng: "Dugu Mingfu, let people kill these pigs, and today they have a fierce battle with the Liao people. Use these pork to reward government soldiers and yamen servants."

"Ah? Oh, yes, yes, the next official ordered someone to do it immediately." Dugu Feng looked at the tragic death of pigs, and was already a little bit out of his wits from the shock. Hearing Li Wangyou talk to him, he came back to his senses.

"Grandfather, this, this thunderbolt and thunder are made from the saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal that you asked my subordinates to collect? This, this is too appalling! I'm afraid the grandfather used some fairy magic No?"

Naturally, Li Wangyou would not reveal the truth to Dugufeng. Gunpowder is the top secret of this era.

Even though some monks, Taoists, alchemists and the like know about gunpowder, so far no one has really mastered the correct formula of gunpowder.

The different proportions of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal determine the explosive power of black powder.

Historically, it was not until the [-]th century and the Southern Song Dynasty that black powder was widely used on the battlefield and became something that could kill people.

It is only four years in Zhenguan, 630 AD, and there are still five or six hundred years before gunpowder is put on the battlefield in history.

Li Wangyou pretended to be mysterious and nodded to Dugufeng, and pretended to say two words: "Of course!"

Worried about Dugu Feng's misunderstanding, he added: "Of course, the main thing is the sulfur, charcoal and other things that Dugu Mingfu collected hard from the city. Thunderbolt and thunder came."

Dugufeng froze for a moment, before he even had time to say hello to Li Wangyou, he turned around and ran out with his official uniform.

Li Wangyou was taken aback by his reaction, and couldn't help shouting: "Dugu Mingfu, what are you doing in such a panic?"

"The lower officials go to urge the people to continue to scrape the nitrate in the city!"

After Dugufeng left a word, he ran away without a trace, but Li Wangyou and Niu Wu were stunned for a while, and then burst out laughing...

895 Too bad!

After testing the power of the explosive package, Li Wangyou finally relaxed the tension in his heart because of the siege of the city by the bureaucrats.

As long as he has a pack of explosives in his hand, no matter how many Liao people are outside the city, he will not be afraid.

Now in Jiulong County, there is a shortage of charcoal and nitrate. Although there is not much sulfur, after all, the amount of sulfur is the least in the formula of black powder.

Therefore, Li Wangyou estimated that it would be no problem for Niu Wu and the others to make nearly a hundred explosive kits with the sulfur they had collected.

Li Wangyou didn't believe that with so many explosives, those bureaucrats could turn the world upside down.

Can flesh and blood still compete with explosives?

After relaxing, Li Wangyou finally remembered the strangeness of the bureaucrat's chaos.
