After a while, Li Chongyi walked in.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, Royal Father. May I know why Your Majesty has summoned me?”Li Chongyi bowed to the two of them.
"What happened yesterday? Tell me about it.”
"Your Majesty, I have received the emperor's kindness for generations. I am grateful and have been thinking about how to serve the country day and night…"
Seeing that Li Chongyi was about to give a long speech, Li Shimin snorted coldly,"Get to the point!"
" Gunpowder is a peerless weapon that can behead a general in an army of ten thousand, ignore the city walls of the world, and kill any powerful enemy on the way!”
Li Chongyi used a sentence to exaggerate the power of gunpowder. In fact, the power of black gunpowder was not great. In ancient wars, it could only play a limited role.
The reason why the mountain collapsed and the earth cracked yesterday was mainly because the amount used was a little too much. It was also placed at the root of the cliff. The cliff was originally exposed to the air. After years of wind and sun, it caused such a big commotion.
"Oh? Did you bring it?" Li Shi Min asked.
"Your Majesty, I brought some.”As he spoke, Li Chongyi took out a small paper bag of gunpowder and presented it to Li Shimin.
Li Shi Min opened the paper bag and saw the grain-sized dark brown granules inside. He suppressed his anger and said,"This is the thing you said that can take the head of an enemy general from an army of ten thousand? Are you trying to fool me with a few pieces of rat sh * t?”
"Your Majesty, this is not rat shit. Rat shit is long, and this is round. The gunpowder had to be stored in a sealed container in sufficient quantity and ignited with fire in order to unleash its power.”Then, Li Chongyi gave Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong a simple explanation.
"Let's go, bring zhen to the Imperial Villa. Zhen wants to see it with my own eyes.”Li Shiming felt uneasy until he understood this matter. Of course, he was also curious.
Although he was only going out in plain clothes, he still had the might of an emperor. Dozens of guards followed him, either openly or secretly.
After arriving at the Imperial Villa, Li Chongyi was ready very quickly. This time, he only used ten catties of explosives. The black gunpowder was not powerful enough, and it could not be completely sealed. In addition, his processing skills were average. If he used too little, it would become fireworks.
After they were ready, Li Chongyi took out a few small cloth balls and handed them to Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong." Your Majesty, Father, the explosive power of this gunpowder is extremely strong. The sound is very loud, like thunder. Your Majesty and Father, plug your ears and cover your ears with your hands so that you won't be frightened."”
"Frightened?" Li Shi Min seemed to have heard the funniest thing."Do you think I am Fang Yi 'ai? Hmph, take it away!"
On the other hand, Li Xiaogong took two small cloth balls and stuffed his ears.
"Xiaogong, do you still remember when you destroyed Xiao Xi? At that time, you personally led the troops to charge into the formation, sweeping through everything. How heroic was that? Sigh!" Li Shi Min sighed.
Li Xiaogong's face turned red. He took out the small cloth ball from his ear and threw it away." Even Your Majesty is afraid, so what should I be afraid of?”
"That's right!" Li Shimin laughed.”Then, he said to Li Chongyi,"You can start demonstrating!"”
Li Chongyi didn't care if it was embarrassing or not. After putting up his own protection, he used the old method of using a rocket to ignite the fire. However, this time, after shooting the arrow, he didn't fall to the ground because he used less of it.
Boom!
A loud noise was heard. It was not as loud as the noise from yesterday's experiment in the mountains, but it was still 10 catties of black gunpowder!
Then, a few green stones flew up. Then, there was a thick smoke, and then peace was restored.
"Such power is indeed rare. Xiaogong, let's go and take a look.”
"Your Majesty, what did you say?"
" Xiaogong, are you so scared that you can't even speak..." Li Shimin was stunned as he realized that he couldn't hear what he was saying.
Fortunately, he had asked Fang Yi 'ai and the others before and knew that this was only temporary.
About ten seconds later, Li Shiming's hearing recovered a little. Then, he saw Li Xiaogong looking at him with a wronged face. Li Shiming pretended not to see it and walked to one of the broken stones.
The experiment this time was to dig a hole in the ground and put a piece of bluestone weighing hundreds of kilograms on it. At this moment, the bluestone had already become more than ten pieces.
Li Shiming picked up a piece and looked at it again and again. His expression gradually became serious as he asked Li Chongyi,"Zhen asks you, besides you, who else knows about this item? Should it be made like this? Wait, you don't have to say it. I don't want to know, but I don't want anyone else to know either. Do you understand?"
When Li Shiming saw the power of gunpowder, the first thing that came to his mind was not war, but if someone buried hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder in a place he often went to or on the road he passed by, and then used an arrow to start a fire. Even the bluestone had been blown into a dozen pieces. He didn't think that he would be unscathed.
He wouldn't be at ease leaving this item in the hands of anyone else.
Suddenly, Li Shiming said,"Oh right, I remember that I asked you to come to the Imperial Villa to raise chickens, right?" Come, bring me to the chicken coop to see if you're slacking off.”
"Your Majesty, this way please."
