Chapter 1266 Great Harvest

"My luck is so good today!"

Bai Feng looked at the two blueprints and a formula that had just been redeemed in front of him, and laughed happily.

The formula of nitrification/glycerin explosive, the construction drawings of the blast furnace, and the construction drawings of the Fuzhou ship are all what Bai Feng needs now.

In particular, the nitrification/glycerin explosive formula and the construction drawings of the blast furnace were of great help to Bai Feng in mining and smelting steel.

The purpose of his system lottery was precisely for this formula and a drawing.

The manufacturing drawings of the treasure ship are also very important to Bai Feng, but now Bai Feng does not have the strength to build the treasure ship.

Just like after Himihu captured the Wei fleet led by Wenpin at Yamatai, he could not immediately turn this fleet into Yamatai's own combat power.

The same is true for the treasure ship blueprints.

The wood, craftsmen, and technology required to build a treasure ship are not problems that can be solved with a blueprint.

After Yamatai has prepared the wood for building the ship, Bai Feng will recruit a group of craftsmen with shipbuilding experience from the Wei Dynasty, and then the treasure ship blueprint can truly show its value.

"First of all, we still need to manufacture nitrification/glycerin dynamite. Mining and smelting iron are the most important things now."

After Bai Feng put down the treasure ship blueprint, he picked up the formula of nitrified/glycerin explosive and thought in his mind at the same time.

"Glycerin needs to be treated with nitric acid and sulfuric acid. The resulting yellow oily transparent liquid is nitrification/glycerin. The preparation formula of nitric acid and sulfuric acid is just mentioned briefly above, and it still needs to be prepared."

Looking at the formula of nitrified/glycerin explosives, Bai Feng found that there were still a series of problems that needed to be solved in order to create explosives that could be used for mining.

Moreover, the manufacturing process of nitrate/glycerin dynamite is also full of dangers. If this problem is not solved, there will be no way to mass-produce nitrate/glycerin dynamite.

Later Alfred Nobel, the famous founder of the Nobel Prize, also paid a huge price when he invented and continuously improved nitrate/glycerin dynamite.

In addition to being injured himself, one of his students also died while experimenting with explosive formulas.

Bai Feng is aware of these, and he doesn't want his craftsmen to face life-threatening danger at any time when making nitrate/glycerin explosives.

"It seems that we must find professionals to solve the problem of safety in manufacturing nitrate/glycerin explosives. But where can we find such talents in this era?"

Thinking of this, Bai Feng couldn't help but have a headache.

It is really difficult to produce nitrate/glycerin explosives thousands of years in advance.

However, according to the existing manpower in Hanzhong, if explosives are not used to mine, it will not be able to meet the amount of steel consumed in laying railways and manufacturing steam engines and steam trains.

Unless Bai Feng can gather the power of the entire Wei Dynasty, he can also manufacture steam trains and build railways.

In fact, this matter was originally a basic construction work that required the strength of the entire Wei Dynasty to be brought together.

However, because the relationship between Bai Feng and Cao Cao is very delicate, if Bai Feng hands over the drawings for making steam trains and building railways to Cao Cao.

So Cao Cao was not just suspicious that something like the steam train, which had a huge impact on the entire Wei Dynasty, was invented by Bai Feng.

Without the support of a large army and already built railway transportation lines, Bai Feng would abandon Hanzhong and go to Yamatai for development.

Cao Cao must not be able to tolerate Bai Feng, after all, how can he allow others to sleep soundly next to the bed.

"Where can I find such a genius who is proficient in chemistry?"

Now Bai Feng is thinking about this issue.

Then Bai Feng had an idea.

Alchemist!

In Bai Feng's view, instead of refining the elixir that can make people immortal and ascend to immortality every day, these alchemists might as well contribute to the development of society.

Chemical products such as mercury and black gunpowder were first used and manufactured by alchemists in ancient times.

These by-products of alchemy eventually became one of the driving forces for social development.

"Alchemist, I want to use the alchemist to make nitrate/glycerin explosive for me!"

Bai Feng finally had a candidate in his mind to make nitrified/glycerin explosives.

Alchemists, or alchemists, have already appeared in the pre-Qin period.

The most famous alchemist during the Qin Dynasty was Xu Fu, the one who refined the elixir of immortality for the First Emperor.

Legend has it that Xu Fu went abroad to seek medicine and refine elixirs, and finally settled in Yamatai, which later became the island country of Japan.

Thinking of this, Bai Feng opened the system lottery interface again and wanted to draw a random character card.

"Forehead"

Looking at the remaining reputation points in the system, Bai Feng silently closed the system lottery interface.

Drawing random character cards consumes much more reputation points than drawing blueprints and recipes.

Bai Feng's remaining reputation is no longer enough for him to draw random character cards.

"Well, my plan to ask Xu Fu to help me make nitrified/glycerin explosives has no way to come true."

Since he could not count on alchemy master Xu Fu to help make nitrate/glycerin dynamite, Bai Feng could only look for talents who could make nitrate/glycerin dynamite among the existing alchemists in the Wei Dynasty.

After thinking of this, Bai Feng directly found Cao Jie.

"Jie'er, do you know which alchemists there are in Hanzhong?"

Cao Jie couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.

"Alchemist?"

"Jie'er, I don't know if there are any alchemists in Hanzhong."

Cao Jie, who was not interested in immortality and elixirs, certainly had no way to answer Bai Feng's question.

Moreover, in Cao Jie's opinion, being able to grow old with Bai Feng was a happier thing than eating elixirs.

"What famous alchemists are there in Wei?"

Bai Feng still asked Cao Jie unwillingly after hearing this.

"Wei, let me think about it."

Seeing that Bai Feng was really looking for an alchemist, Cao Jie began to think carefully.

When she was chatting with the ladies of the noble families at a banquet in Yecheng about the investment in the soap workshop, she seemed to have heard one of the ladies mention a very famous alchemist.

After a while, Cao Jie finally remembered after constant recollection that it was Madam Li who had mentioned the alchemist Wei Ao, Wei Boyang!

"My husband, there is an alchemist named Wei Ao in Wei, who should be very famous!"

Then Cao Jie said to Bai Feng.

"Wei Ao? Good!"

After Bai Feng learned Wei Ao's name from Cao Jie, he had an accurate goal.

"First find this Wei Ao and see if he can help me make nitro/glycerine explosives."
