Chapter 38 This Xu Fu is actually an explosive maniac?
The inner palace was only dug a small part, and then the work was stopped.
When you enter the inner palace, the space is not large, and the city walls on all sides are not piled up, only the messy and uneven stone walls.
Xu Fu and others gathered in front of a huge wooden table and focused on fiddling with the nitrous powder, sulfur powder and charcoal powder on the table.
"cough……"
Zhao Zhong, behind Ying Zheng, saw that everyone did not realize that His Majesty had arrived, immediately coughed lightly.
Xu Fu and others were slightly stunned, then looked in the voice and immediately saw the extremely majestic His Majesty.
"Meet Your Majesty."
Xu Fu and more than a dozen alchemists immediately bowed and bowed.
"No gift."
Ying Zheng was in a good mood. He heard that everyone had developed a powerful black gunpowder, with a faint smile on his face and a calm voice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone thanked him quickly and then stood there.
When Ying Zheng saw the miserable appearance of everyone, his eyes narrowed slightly.
If it weren't for the strict guards here, even a mosquito would be difficult to fly in, and Ying Zheng would have thought a group of refugees had broken in.
Xu Fu and the Fangshi were covered in dirty faces, their clothes were torn and ragged, and many people's clothes even showed signs of burning.
"I heard that you have developed powerful black gunpowder?"
Ying Zheng's eyes were flashing with brilliance, his heart was hot, but his expression was still in the ancient well without waves.
"Go back to Your Majesty, Xu Fuxing will not be humiliated."
Xu Fu bowed and wiped his face with his dirty sleeves, but the more he wiped it, the darker it became.
“How powerful is it?”
Ying Zheng walked over and looked at the various powders on the wooden table, which were pungent, but did not make him feel uncomfortable at all, but was very excited.
Once there is a powerful black gunpowder, with the current craftsmanship of Daqin, it is easy to make various original cannons with my drawings.
Once artillery is available, the casualties of the Qin Ruis can be greatly reduced.
With all artillery, will it be far away from blasting the gates of the Western world?
How about letting these foreign countries pigs taste the taste of big ships and giant cannons?
"Your Majesty, the power is too great. Our embarrassing appearance is because we have tried the power there, so we are so embarrassed that our embarrassing appearance makes His Majesty laugh."
Xu Fu pointed to the pair of black gravel piles not far away and said with a bitter smile.
Following the place Xu Fu pointed at, Ying Zheng saw the pile of stones that were blown up at a glance.
It seems that it is really powerful?
With this power, there is no pressure to make artillery ammunition.
As for more advanced synthetic explosives, the time is not yet ripe, and it will be self-defeating because the flammable properties are difficult to control.
With the current Daqin technology, controlling black gunpowder is already a headache.
"Is there any more? I want to see the power?"
Ying Zheng looked at Xu Fu and asked.
"Please forgive me for your crime. I just prepared it. The villain felt very excited and would explode if he was not careful."
Xu Fu smiled awkwardly and said at a loss.
Ying Zheng was speechless, what does it mean to be very excited?
Just tell me directly that you are having a lot of fun?
Didn't realize that Xu Fu was actually an explosion crazier?
But if you think about it carefully, this guy is also a real alchemist. If you don’t like to mess around, how can you become an alchemist?
This guy should have the potential to study madmen in later generations?
“Have they learned it?”
Ying Zheng looked at the dozen alchemists behind Xu Fu and asked again.
Before Xu Fu could speak, the audience members said in unison: "Your Majesty, we are all here."
It turns out that he was a disciple of the church and starved to death by the master.
"Xu Fu and I returned to Xianyang, and I am sorry for you to experiment with the new formula here. When I find a suitable place, I will move to Tianji Pavilion."
"This time you all made great contributions. The Qin Dynasty will never treat the meritorious ministers unfairly. Each person will be rewarded with 100,000 copper coins, a large mansion, and a third-level title for commendation."
"I hope you will continue to work hard to establish merits for the empire, increase your ranks, and gold, silver and jewelry will no longer be a fantasy."
Ying Zheng knew very well that if you want someone to serve you, you must give enough temptation.
How can there be a reason in the world that you let your horse run away and don’t want your horse to eat grass?
"Thank you, your Majesty."
Everyone was extremely excited, my god!
It’s so easy to get a big reward, and there’s a big mansion?
What's more important is the title!
What is the most important thing about Daqin?
money?
No, title!
Only with titles can one have status in the Qin Empire. What’s the use of merchants with money?
Even if you are rich enough to compete with a country, you cannot transcend the rules. There are regulations on food, clothing and consumption, and those who transcend the rules will be punished.
But with the title of meritorious lord, it is very different. No matter where you go to the empire, you can stand up straight and be warmly welcomed by governments from all over the country.
Even if you return home, you will be honored to return to your hometown and shine on your home.
After returning to Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng summoned Xu Fu, who was bathing and changing clothes alone.
"Xu Fu!"
"Tomorrow you will follow General Li You north to the sea and cross from Langya to the east. I wonder if you have any other requirements before leaving?"
Ying Zheng looked at Xu Fu who had changed into a new dress, which was intriguing.
"Your Majesty Xu Fu has nothing to ask for, but he only hopes to succeed and retire as soon as possible and return to his country to serve His Majesty."
Xu Fu was energetic and refreshed.
Forehead!
Did I hear it wrong?
Ying Zheng was very surprised, but he said calmly: "Xu Qing is a true national scholar. I am very pleased to serve the country."
"Your Majesty, Xu Fu has loved novelty since he was a child, so when he grew up, he became a master and became a priest, obsessed with alchemy techniques."
"But practiced hard for many years, I did nothing except accidentally discovering that some alchemy materials would be mixed together and would be frying the stove."
"After knowing that he could not refine the elixir, Xu Fu became obsessed with researching the alchemy materials for the accidental frying furnace, and finally extracted saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur mixed fireworks."
"I'm still quite proud of my discovery, but Xu Fu is always just an ordinary person and needs to eat grains to satisfy my hunger."
"When I was in a state of decline, I was hungry every few days, and finally, in desperation, Xu Fu started to cheat by using fireworks."
"It's just to make a living, but Xu Fu prefers to study novel things."
"The recipe given by His Majesty seems to open the door to a new world for Xu Fu."
"Xu Fu likes black gunpowder, its smell, its power, its explosion, and it is intoxicated."
"So beg Your Majesty to let Xu Fu continue to develop black gunpowder after returning to the country, and do his best to do his best."
Xu Fu became more and more excited as he spoke, and then his expression suddenly changed and he said in tears.
Forehead!
Did you unintentionally discover a talent?
Could tricks, adventures, pioneers, astronomy, and geography be just his hobbies?
And the true essence in his bones is actually a science madman?
Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, Ying Zheng looked at Xu Fu who was bowing his head in front of him, and felt extremely strange.
"When you return from the east, if you are really capable, I will open the door to a new world for you."
"Are those who cross the sea worthy of being called pioneers?"
"I hope that one day, you, Xu Fu, will become the first pioneer in the world to cross the galaxy."
Ying Zheng's voice was passionate and imposing.
