Bai Musheng didn't understand chemistry.
Or rather, he once knew.
In his previous life, his chemistry knowledge peaked in his third year of high school. As for what major he majored in in university, Bai Musheng had already forgotten about it after so many years. He only vaguely remembered that he was an engineering dog, and his major seemed to be related to chips.
He hadn't come into contact with chemistry since he went to university. It was already good enough that he could still remember that black gunpowder was a kind of charcoal.
However, after he started working, he liked to read historical novels about time travel. He always saw the main characters in those novels travel back to ancient times and make guns and cannons. He went to look up the technology related to the early muskets and flintlocks, and learned about the early telegram, etc.
But that was all.
He had never thought that Shen Kuo would be so fierce. He did not simply make black gunpowder, but made explosives that were many times more powerful than this low-energy gunpowder!
No wonder this guy was so nervous. He wanted to distance himself as far as possible from the "cotton" in front of him.
"Let's test its power."
Bai Musheng ordered.
"
Be careful," he said after a pause.
"Here."
Seeing that the emperor wanted to see the power of this 'divine object,' Shen Kuo immediately arranged for people to go and get busy.
Bai Musheng brought his men to a high platform at the edge of the square. Shen Kuo finally felt a little relieved after being separated by such a long distance.
He ordered his men to set up the explosives on the ground, then sprinkled a circle of black gunpowder, and then moved out the fuse.
Bai Musheng couldn't help but be amused at this scene-this was a talent who could even make the early lead.
As expected, no one who could leave a name in history was a simple character. Shen Kuo was only limited by the Northern Song Dynasty. As long as he was given a suitable stage, he would definitely bring Bai Musheng a huge surprise.
After arranging the gunpowder, Shen Kuo buried a layer of sand on it.
In the end, he personally took a lighter and lit the fuse. Then, everyone saw him run toward them as if he was desperate.
The ignited fuse burned with sparks, and the sparks flew forward and sank into the sand.
Moments after the attack
, the attack was released!!!!!!!!!
The violent explosion shocked everyone.
Zhan Zhao instinctively rushed to Bai Musheng and pulled out his saber. His face was pale as he stared ahead.
The accompanying Golden Guards quickly surrounded Bai Musheng and the rest.
After the dust settled, Bai Musheng ordered everyone to disperse and looked ahead impatiently.
The pile of sand had already disappeared, leaving a shallow pit on the ground. The surrounding wooden frames that were used as reference objects were all over the place, and some of them had even been directly shattered into pieces.
Zhang Liang's brows were tightly furrowed, and Zhou Yu's body was slightly tense.
The first thing they thought of was the use of this thing on the battlefield.
Bai Musheng's expression didn't change much. The power of the gunpowder was slightly weaker than he had imagined.
But it's enough to be used
Standing beside Bai Musheng, Zhu Menghuang was also looking at the aftermath of the explosion.
[…What is this?]
[This power is almost comparable to some small explosive talismans.】
[How did you do it?]
[The young paparazzo asked me to come and watch the explosion?】
[What's so interesting about explosions? When I improve my cultivation and open the space in my soul imprint, I'll have as many Detonation Talismans as I want. I'll just continue to draw them after I'm done…]
Obviously, the divine item that was "infinitely powerful" in Shen Kuo's eyes was nothing compared to a small Detonation Talisman in Zhu Menghuang's card.
However, Zhu Menghuang was also a little surprised. She did not expect these mortals to be able to create such a thing without the help of any cultivators.
[Should I be surprised?】
[Otherwise, if I'm too calm, I won't be giving face to the young paparazzo...
]】
At the thought of this, Zhu Menghuang's expression suddenly changed. She pounced on Bai Musheng gently and buried her face in his embrace with trembling lips.
"Your Majesty…Your Majesty…so…so scary!”
"What is this!"
"ChenQie is afraid!"
Bai
Musheng
suddenly felt that he still had a long way to go.
However, since the empress had already given him so much face, it would be a bit of a hindrance if he didn't respond.
He hugged Zhu Menghuang and comforted her with a subtle expression,""Don't be afraid, Huang 'er. I'm here."
Shen Kuo saw that he had frightened the Empress and quickly bowed, saying,""Your Majesty, I am guilty. I have disturbed the Empress. Please forgive me
…"
Bai Musheng's lips twitched.
Scaring the Empress?
She was probably mocking him in her heart.
"Minister Shen, you have made a great contribution to the court by making this. I am preparing to officially establish the Institute of Natural Sciences. You will be the first principal of the Institute of Natural Sciences, and your rank will be equal to that of the Imperial College Chancellor. All the craftsmen in the Institute of Natural Sciences will be rewarded for their contributions.”
Only Zhang Liang and Zhou Yu had come with them, so they naturally wouldn't oppose the emperor's will to confer titles to the craftsmen.
When the surrounding craftsmen heard the emperor's words, they were so excited that they knelt on the ground and said that they would die for him.
Seeing that things were almost over, Bai Musheng added,""Zhanzhao, give the thing to Minister Shen.”
"Here ~"
Zhan Zhao immediately handed over a box that Bai Musheng had ordered his men to bring when he left the palace.
"This is the place where you put the money. I want you to think of a way to make something. When you make it, you will be rewarded."”
The box contained the blueprints of the flintlock and the primitive cannon.
The principles of these things were quite simple, and the materials required were not expensive. With Great Qi's current ability, it was completely possible to create them.
It wasn't that Bai Musheng hadn't thought of skipping the front loading musket and directly creating the rear loading rifle, but unfortunately, he wasn't skilled enough.
Rifling was too difficult to carve manually, and the accuracy was difficult to meet. It was best to wait until the technology was accumulated enough to realize mechanized production.
After that, Bai Musheng got someone to call over the people in charge of the other projects in the physics department and gave them a round of encouragement.
When had these craftsmen ever seen the emperor value them so much? Even though Bai Musheng's expression was cold, the craftsmen were so excited that tears streamed down their faces.
After settling all these matters, Bai Musheng brought his men back to the Great Ming Palace.
For research, he only needed to start and give some directions. The rest was left to his subordinates.
He was Tian Zi, not a scientist.
He also believed that this ancient race definitely did not lack intelligent people.
