Chapter 236: Dangerous Medicine Crisis

In the army of the Kingdom of Jinyang, amidst the mighty shouts of killing and the roar of artillery, Hussar General Sima Zhen welcomed a 'guest of honor' - Qing Hongzi, the great elder of the Nine Yang Sect. Or, 'former Nine Yang Sect Great Elder'.

The current Nine Suns Sect can be described as extremely miserable, not to mention the loss of the mountain gate, the Great Elder was almost besieged and killed. After a period of recuperation, this Qing Hongzi finally recovered some basic cultivation, at least he can appear in public.

The reason why Qing Hongzi came here was because he needed to gather the scattered disciples of Nine Suns Sect.

Previously, Jiuyangzong was captured by Liu Xinyu's army, and hundreds of thousands of disciples fled to death. But Qing Hongzi believed that most of the disciples had escaped, and these disciples had no other place to go, they could only go to the Jinyang country, or hide in the mountains.

In fact, the Vanguard Corps of the Kingdom of Jinyang has gathered more than 20,000 disciples of the Nine Yang Sect. However, most of these disciples were anxious and continued to have a representative to comfort them.

After Sima Zhen saw Qing Hongzi, he suddenly felt a feeling in his heart. This used to be a high-ranking master of the god transformation stage, but now he is weak and may not even have the combat power of the golden core stage.

The two met with emotion, and then unexpectedly talked about artillery.

"I heard that the Kingdom of Jinyang has developed artillery?" Qing Hongzi's eyes were still flickering with anger. When the word 'cannon' was mentioned, he felt a little uncomfortable. Because he saw the lethality of the artillery with his own eyes, and even saw with his own eyes that his mountain gate was blown up to the sky by several 'iron barrels'.

Artillery may not be able to help the masters of the transformation stage, but it is enough to change the pattern of war.

Sima Zhen shook his head slightly: "Our current artillery... is still far from the Qixia Kingdom. Let's go, I will take you to see the disciples of the Nine Suns Sect, and take a look at the artillery."

Qing Hongzi nodded, and the two walked out. After walking for a while, Sima Zhen suddenly asked: "You Jiuyangzong have cooperated with Zhang Family and Dayang Group before, but you haven't figured out the situation of the artillery? Or have you obtained some information?"

"At that time, I didn't think so much. Moreover, the Zhang family was strictly guarded against artillery technology from the very beginning. Moreover, it was the previous head teacher Guangyangzi who cooperated with the Zhang family and the Dayang Group; but now, Guangyangzi has left the nine Yangzong, with more than nine hundred people, fully joined the Dayang Group."

Sima sighed, and there was some indescribable melancholy in his eyes. Only by feeling the power of artillery in person can we know the importance of artillery and its impact on warfare.

Coming to the observation deck on the front line, Qing Hongzi saw the scene of the war.

Not to mention the endless legion, he has seen too many. But this year's war is different because both sides are using a brand new weapon - loud artillery.

But Qing Hongzi soon discovered the problem: the artillery of Jinyang Kingdom is short and weak.

Not to mention the crude benzene of its artillery, the speed of the shells is very slow, and the rate of fire is also very slow-it feels like Yuan Yingqi can catch up with casual shots.

Although Qing Hongzi was seriously injured, he still had the physical fitness of the transformation stage, and his eyes were sharp. The artillery fired by the Kingdom of Jinyang was blocked by the soldiers of the Kingdom of Qixia with a simple barrier, and iron balls that would not explode rolled all over the ground.

In contrast, every volley of artillery from the Qixia Kingdom can cause huge casualties to the Jinyang Kingdom. Every time a shell falls, there is a scar.

The cannons of the Qixia Kingdom have a straddling range of more than ten kilometers; while the artillery attack distance of the Jinyang Kingdom does not exceed three kilometers. And after more than three kilometers, the speed of the shell was already appalling.

And the accuracy of Jinyang Kingdom's artillery... is also terrible. Many shells deviated as soon as they came out of the barrel, and some flew crookedly, and their trajectories in the sky were so elegant.

The gap is a bit big.

In particular, the artillery chambers of the Jinyang Kingdom had to be cleaned every time they were fired, which was very cumbersome, and the rate of fire was naturally affected.

But on the other hand, the Kingdom of Jinyang made full use of the crowd tactics to continuously advance the front line. Although the Qixia Kingdom has powerful artillery, the number of artillery is too small after all. Facing the almost shameless crowd tactics of the Kingdom of Jinyang, the army of the Kingdom of Qixia could only retreat and retreat again and again.

Crowd tactics are really useful! Although the consumption is a bit large.

Qing Hongzi looked at it for a while, then pointed to the cannon: "This... feels a little... child's play."

Sima Zhen shrugged his shoulders: "No way, this is the reality. We got the shells from the Qixia Kingdom, and we also picked up a few duds on the battlefield recently. But the Qixia Kingdom's artillery is precise, and the main explosive composition we have No suitable material has been found so far.”

Now the artillery on our side actually has only one purpose: to make a sound for our own people and to suppress shock.

Before the words fell, a cannon suddenly exploded and fell apart. Caught off guard, the surrounding artillery immediately suffered heavy casualties; even the soldiers of several surrounding cannons were seriously injured.

This is not to mention shocking, it is even more flustered.

The broken cannon barrel flew more than ten meters away, and many soldiers were unprepared for the attack from behind, and they were all mourned for a while. The wreckage of the one-and-a-half-meter-long barrel crushed more than a dozen people and knocked over dozens of people in shame.

A large number of artillerymen dispersed with a scream, and many artillerymen moved away from their own artillery with horror on their faces.

This sudden change stunned many people, but Sima Zhen was even more astonished. There are three layers of one-way defensive barriers in front of the artillery camp, and the Qixia Kingdom's artillery can't get in.

Qing Hongzi frowned slightly: "I seem to have seen just now that the artillery exploded by itself."

Sima Zhen took a deep breath. Now he didn't understand what was going on, but at least Sima Zhen knew very well: the war is still going on, and the artillery can't stop!

Immediately roared and asked the supervisory team to step forward, drag the dead and wounded artillery down, and the rest continued to fight. As for the cannon that exploded suddenly, Sima Zhen also arranged for someone to investigate. This matter must not be clarified.

After arranging these things, Sima Zhen took Qing Hongzi to the place where the disciples of the Nine Yang Sect were located. "Here's all we've found for the time being. There's a total of over 20,000."

Qing Hongzi looked at the Nine Yang Sect disciples and so on, his eyes were red again. The Nine Suns Sect once claimed to have one hundred thousand disciples, but now there are only over twenty thousand disciples left, and many of these disciples are wounded all over their bodies and have panicked eyes, they have become frightened birds.

Qing Hongzi even saw quite a few disciples tremble when the artillery roared or the shells exploded.

Qing Hongzi took a deep breath, walked up to the high platform slowly, barely raised his true energy and shouted: "Quiet! You guys, are you scared!"

Many disciples of Nine Suns Sect raised their heads immediately and looked at Qing Hongzi, who was 'high-spirited'.

Qing Hongzi's tone suddenly softened: "More than nine thousand years ago, a casual cultivator and three disciples settled on a barren mountain, and opened up a cave.

Five hundred years later, the Nine Suns Sect was born. At that time, there were no more than a thousand people in the Nine Suns Sect.

Today, we still have more than 20,000 people, and there are many more disciples, senior brothers and sisters who need our rescue in Qixia Land.

You are shivering here, be a nove! Or go back and seek justice from the Qixia Kingdom? "

…………

But Zhang Hao returned home in a hurry, and immediately called Huang Mingshan and others, even Zhou Xueyao.

Zhou Xueyao was still holding a test tube in her hand, and she was sitting next to Zhang Hao, "Coldly snort": "You'd better give me a reason. Otherwise... be careful! I'm at the golden core stage now, and hitting you ten times won't be a problem!"

As he spoke, he waved his pink fist at Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao smiled, took out the jade slips and related materials from Liu Dingshan, and introduced them. This introduction took half a day. Because Zhang Hao doesn't have the foundation of the Vientiane Promise Formation in his hands; the most important thing is that Zhang Hao brought up the concept of 'money'.

Of course, most of the tongue is talking about Hunyuan Jingjin and Vientiane Promise Formation; the money is just a few important words. The concept of banknotes cannot be explained in a few words, and Zhang Hao is just getting a vaccination now.

After Zhang Hao finished speaking, Huang Mingshan was in a bit of a dilemma: "Master, we are now devoting all our energy to steel research and improvement, gunpowder purification production, artillery production and the production of giant steel ships. Our forces are already scattered.

If we continue to study this Hunyuan Jingjin, I'm afraid it will seriously affect the progress of other research.

Also, according to the data, the production of mixed yuan fine gold requires a lot of ingredients. In addition to black iron, it also needs a large amount of red copper, mithril, fine gold, and some precious spiritual materials, such as spiritual realgar , Linghua Danmercury, Wannian Lingmu, etc. We all lack these, and they are all expensive.

Even if we use black iron to trade with others, the amount we can get is limited. "

Zhang Hao smiled: "I mentioned this today, and I have thought it through. Well... I want to share a new idea with you today.

Have you ever thought about what substances make up our world?

Such as dark iron, such as iron, such as rust, wood, tables and chairs, etc. Have you ever wondered what its essence is? "

Huang Mingshan and others thought about it.

Zhou Xueyao said softly: "This is something that many alchemists want to understand. But so far they have no clue."

Zhang Hao took out another wooden stick: "Now I have a wooden stick in my hand. People say, if I cut off half of it each time, how much will be left after ten times? After a hundred times, what will happen after a thousand times?"

Zhang Hao took out the flying sword and cut it. The wooden stick became shorter and shorter, but there was still a little bit left. Until there was only a little bit left that could not be cut, Zhang Hao put it on the nail and showed it to everyone: "This is still a wooden stick, although it is already very small."

Then Zhang Hao took out gunpowder: "This is gunpowder. Gunpowder is made up of some fine powders. So, are these powders inseparable?"

Zhou Xueyao picked up a fine powder and crushed it with real yuan, and it turned into a finer powder that could hardly be seen with the naked eye.

"Turned into air?" Zhou Xueyao fell into deep thought.

"No, it's because they are so small that they can already float in the air. Look, they are here." Zhang Hao poked a hole in the roof with his flying sword, and a ray of sunlight shot in, and dust was flying under the sunlight.

Then Zhang Hao turned to Huang Mingshan: "Huang Mingshan, what is air made of?"

Huang Mingshan reflexively said: "Currently known oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other non-combustible gases."

"So, what is oxygen made of?"

Huang Mingshan suddenly got stuck.

Zhang Hao turned around slowly, and opened a roll of gastrodia hemp paper: "What I want to tell you today is not only the problem of Hunyuan Jingjin, but also... elements!

I will call the basic substances that make up the world elements.

According to my observation for a long time, I think our world is made of finite elements. This composition method is similar to the strokes of characters, and it is also similar to the Vientiane Promise Array. And I think that the Vientiane Promise Array is evolving in this process. "

After that, Zhang Hao began to 'teach'.

The quicklime is heated and then the heated gas is injected into the lime water to obtain a precipitate. The precipitate is reheated, and lime water and gas are obtained.

The product of charcoal combustion, breathed air, was injected into lime water to obtain a sediment.

The rust was reduced with charcoal, the gas was injected into the lime water, and the precipitate was obtained.

The products of the combustion of gunpowder were poured into lime water, and a precipitate was obtained.

The dark brown patina was reduced with charcoal, and the gas was injected into the lime water to obtain the precipitate.

The gas obtained by heating malachite is injected into the precipitate, and the precipitate dissolves. After malachite is heated, a dark brown powder is obtained, and after reduction with charcoal, copper is obtained.

The product of sulfur combustion is injected into the lime water sediment, and the sediment dissolves.

Zhang Hao was busy. He had been planning for this experiment for a long time. Although there were many small mistakes in it, it undoubtedly opened the door to a new world for Huang Mingshan and Zhou Xueyao.

It was not until the next day that Zhang Hao walked out of the laboratory. During this day and night, Zhang Hao proposed the concepts of elements, simple substances, oxidation, compounds, and mixtures...

Zhou Xueyao followed behind Zhang Hao, her eyes were very bright, she looked at the booklet in her hand, thinking seriously. Because of her foundation as an alchemist, Zhou Xueyao faintly felt that she had grasped something, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.

Zhang Hao smiled, and took Zhou Xueyao back to her residence. The girl walked all the way, she was lowering her head to study the information in her hands, she didn't look at the road at all, she just watched Zhang Hao go from the corner of her eyes.

When he arrived at the residence, Zhang Hao turned around and was about to give Zhou Xueyao a hug.

result,

Zhou Xueyao pressed Zhang Hao's tender palm on Zhang Hao's chest, and pushed Zhang Hao out more than ten meters with light force, "Don't make trouble! Play by yourself."

Zhang Hao: ...

The surrounding maids covered their mouths hard, their shoulders cramped. Zhang Hao looked at the black line, "Laugh if you want. But after laughing, this month's regular money will be halved."

Turning around and leaving the small courtyard, Zhang Hao was about to go back to his study to sort out the affairs of this period of time, and it was time to practice a little bit by the way. During this period of time, I was so busy that I didn't have time to rest.

Unexpectedly, just after Zhang Hao came to the compound, he saw his father standing in the front yard discussing with his second uncle Zhang Shengde, and the two looked worried.

"Father, Second Uncle, what's the matter?" Zhang Hao was curious and a little nervous.

Zhang Shengde glanced at Zhang Hao, and sighed: "Xiaohao, the family...the pill is not enough. According to the current consumption rate, it can only last for half a month at most."
