Chapter 1446 Other Functions of Gunpowder

Once the raw materials are available, making gunpowder is simple.

The sulfur mine was brought back to Dragon City by Mu Feng.

Then he began to collect "urine cream" from the toilet to boil saltpeter.

As for charcoal, it is simple. Honey, sucrose, etc. can be burnt to get charcoal.

There is a proportioning system, just follow it.

Considering the power issue, Mufeng deliberately made it as small as the firecrackers in his previous life.

The result is naturally a "pop" explosion.

Judging from the sound, it doesn't seem to be as loud as I thought.

But gunpowder was actually made!

Next he made a big one, as thick as an arm and about twenty centimeters long.

After it was completed, Mu Feng took the gunpowder away from Dragon City and went to the forest to the west of Dragon City to try the effect.

The people accompanying him include Li Wang, Yu Li, Jiuzhu and Feiniao who were transferred back.

Feiniao, in particular, was extremely excited after learning that Mufeng had specially made a weapon to deal with fish in the sea.

Mufeng asked everyone to stay away from the experimental site, while he tied a big "firecracker" to the tree trunk with a lead wire about two meters long.

He took the fire stick and lit the fuse and ran away, which was quite the excitement of setting off firecrackers during the New Year when he was a kid.

The only difference is that the "firecracker" he made is more powerful and has a longer lead.

After he ran to a safe distance and followed the others to hide behind the tree trunk, he heard a "boom" and everyone felt their ears buzzing.

They looked at me and I looked at you, and we all saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Then there was a "click", and the big tree that was bombed suddenly broke and fell to the side!

"this……"

Everyone's eyes changed from shock to horror.

The tree that one person hugged just broke?

You know, even those as powerful as bear bears and mammoths in the tribe cannot knock down a tree so easily!

"Let's go and take a look!"

Mu Feng motioned for everyone to follow him.

Everyone came to the big tree and found that a large gap had been blown up where Mufeng had tied the bomb.

Large pieces of sawdust were scattered on the ground.

Smoke was still rising from the bombed location.

The air was still filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

Everyone looked at the broken tree with horrified expressions.

Feiniao was the first to react: "Great Chief, is this the weapon you mentioned to deal with the strange fish?"

Mufeng nodded: "Well, not bad, how about it?

Have you ever seen that big fish, do you think you can blow it up? "

Feiniao frowned and thought for a while, then said: "This kind of weapon needs to be ignited, which is a problem.

If we can solve the problem of ignition, we can definitely deal with that strange fish! "

Mu Feng smiled and said: "This is simple, just light it, tie it to the bow and arrow, and with your arm strength, it won't be a big problem to shoot it!

If the strange fish dares to stay on the water for a long time, make a bigger one and use the arm crossbow to shoot with more power! "

"yes!"

Asuka's eyes lit up, "That's no problem, such a weapon can be used!"

At this time, Yu Li and Jiuzhu also reacted.

The two looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.

"Great Chief," Yu Li clenched his fists, "Having such a weapon can greatly reduce the casualties of our soldiers in head-on conflicts.

If such weapons can be used in large quantities, I, Da Jiang, will not even need so many warriors, so that I can convert more labor into work! "

"good!"

Jiuzhu also said excitedly, "With such a weapon, whether it is digging mountains or digging rivers, the speed will be greatly improved!

In this way, the construction speed of many projects of the Ministry of Industry can be accelerated. "

Mu Feng nodded.

What Jiuzhu said was something he had not considered before.

That is, gunpowder can not only be used as a weapon, but can also be used in Dajiang's daily production.

In other words, gunpowder can not only be used in military affairs, but also in engineering construction and daily production.

From the military field to the civilian field.

This is where technological progress really matters.

No wonder it was said on earth in previous lives that “technology is the primary productive force”!

No wonder gunpowder is called one of the four great inventions of ancient China!

In this way, in fact, as long as the production and application of gunpowder are properly controlled, it will definitely have far more advantages than disadvantages in promoting the development of ginger.

It seems that I still have to re-examine the application of gunpowder.

Should "nuclear weapons" be strictly controlled or relaxed for civilian use?

This is indeed a dilemma.

Each has its pros and cons, and he needs to consider them carefully.

Yu Li also raised this question after being excited: "Great Chief!

Although the gunpowder is strong, if he betrays Da Jiang again with ulterior motives like Truffle, the threat to Da Jiang will be too great.

Therefore, gunpowder needs to be used with caution and caution! "

Only then did Feiniao react and couldn't help but feel frightened.

Yes, such a weapon is so powerful that it is far more powerful than a spear or a broadsword.

No matter how high your martial arts skills are, what will happen?

As long as the opponent holds such a small bomb in his hand, lights it and throws it, he will still have no choice but to hide.

It's good to have the weapon in your own hands.

But what about putting it in the hands of the enemy?

He didn't dare to think about it.

He even gave up the idea of ​​dealing with the fish monster in the sea.

He knew that the chief was also considering this issue.

Sure enough, Mufeng pondered for a moment before saying: "I won't teach you how to make gunpowder for the time being. Every bomb received must be recorded.

How much is released, how much is left, and why it is used must be explained.

Whoever receives the bomb must follow up the entire process from receipt to verification.

If something goes wrong, you will be severely punished! "

Feiniao's eyes widened and he nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Chief, I will definitely be careful when using such weapons!"

Mu Feng nodded: "You, I am relieved, I am now thinking about how to invest this thing in the development of Dajiang.

As Jiuzhu said, if these gunpowders are put into production and construction, it will not only save manpower, but also shorten the construction period.

The benefits are still huge! "

Jiuzhu's eyes lit up.

Mufeng waved his hand: "Okay, just you few know about the bomb for now. There is no need to tell others about it for the time being."

"yes!"

…

Mu Feng began to think seriously about the use of gunpowder.

What he wanted before making gunpowder was strict control.

But after making it, he realized that the role of gunpowder was not only in combat, but also in production.

What he is most worried about now is the hidden danger - being controlled by someone with malicious intentions, and using this to divide Dajiang.

In the final analysis, the question of whether gunpowder can be used on a large scale still lies in the "unity" of Dajiang.

In this way, there is a long way to go for the clansmen to firmly believe in the idea of ​​unifying Jiang...
