Leeuwenhoek used his hands to squeeze the lump of sugar and gunpowder that was drying in the sun.

It feels like glue has been applied.

"That……"

Leeuwenhoek couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and then he looked at the piece of sugar gunpowder on his leg with sharp eyes, and then he discovered that there seemed to be some kind of transparent crystal substance seeping on the surface of the piece of gunpowder.

out.

"Bidong, Bidong, he has made a new discovery!"

Leeuwenhoek shouted, and Louis XIV couldn't help but be a little surprised. When he turned around, he saw Vincent holding the piece of sugar gunpowder in his leg. He cheered towards him and dipped his fingernails into it.

Dong Gunpowder, then shouted.

"It's sweet, it tastes like the brown sugar that I'm waiting for!"

As expected of Leeuwenhoek, let him peek into the secret of sugar and gunpowder and see if it is overkill.

Although sugar gunpowder is not too technically advanced in the first place.

It can be said that as long as there are a few qualified chemists who study something carefully, they can study it.

At this time, after hearing Leeuwenhoek's exclamation, Louis XIV could not help but be stunned. He did not expect that sugar gunpowder could be cracked so quickly.

Immediately, he grabbed the gunpowder, stretched out his delicate tongue, and took a lick.

Suddenly, the sweet smell, mixed with the smell of rust and the question of saltpeter, reached Louis XIV's taste buds.

He said to Vincent in surprise.

"Mr. Leeuwenhoek, as you said, the ingredients in it are not sugar. It seems to be very rusty. If they try it, they will definitely be able to find out the ratio of sugar and gunpowder!"

"Bidong, you are wrong!"

Leeuwenhoek said with bright eyes, he realized that he had made a great contribution!

You will know from the words of Louis XIV. He used to call him Leeuwenhoek, but now he calls him Mr. Leeuwenhoek.

Maybe the charming King Louis XIV would be pleased and reward him with a title.

After knowing the secret of brown sugar, it is much easier to continue research - you need to mix saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal with brown sugar separately, and then detonate them to observe the explosion effect.

.

After a few dozen experiments at most, you can get the correct formula.

Three days later, researchers led by Leeuwenhoek came to a conclusion.

So, is sugar gunpowder a new type of gunpowder made by heating brown sugar and then mixing it with other substances?

Nazhiwan medicine is different from previous gunpowder in that it contains fire saltpeter instead of sulfur, saltpeter and other ingredients.

Since then, after Kangxi, someone else discovered the secret of sugar gunpowder.

In addition, some of the rust was added to the sugar gunpowder found on the Ottoman battlefield. Although they did not know what the role of rust was, after experiments, they came to the conclusion that sugar gunpowder with a certain proportion of rust added,

It is much more powerful than sugar gunpowder without rust.

At this time, after arriving at the correct ratio, Louis XIV collected all the brown sugar in Paris!

It makes Parisians run out of sugar!

It's good that the common people in Paris don't eat sugar much, but the capitalists in Paris eat sugar very much.

Capitalists are weak and cannot incite people who have no money to eat sweets to rebel.

It would be different if Louis XIV left the common people of Paris without food, and the French Revolution would have to start in advance.

Louis XIV and others refined sugar gunpowder and loaded it into the exterior of the imitation rocket body.

Immediately, a test launch was carried out on the banks of the Seine.

Louis XIV saw that according to the structure designed by the Ming Dynasty, the rockets launched had a very stable trajectory, accurately hit distant targets, and their power was also very impressive!

Everyone present looked at it with solemn eyes and shouted excitedly.

"Your Majesty, under your leadership, France will dominate Europe!"

For a time, the French officials on the banks of the Seine were shouting.

Everyone present believed that with such powerful weapons, the empire's navy and army would be ranked number one in Europe.

Well, the French Army is actually No. 1 in Europe.

Louis XIV maintained a standing army of more than 203,000 men all year round. During the Nine Years' War, the total strength of the French Army even reached 440,000, accounting for one-third of the total strength of the European army during the same period.

At the same time, Louis XIV was also extremely excited.

Unlike their excitement, he was quite confident.

Louis XIV was a die-hard Catholic fanatic who believed that God favored France.

At the same time, he also believed in his own ability. He considered himself to be the smartest and most charming monarch in the world!

Just listen to him using that slightly majestic voice, pointing his leg at the burning target ship in the distance, and then shouting.

"Have you seen it? Then deny France's new weapons. Now, let them use the latest weapons to fight against all the enemies of France. Let all enemies tremble in front of the French army!"

"Long live!"

For a time, cheers could be heard on the banks of the Seine.

And amidst the cheers, outside the port, a ship flying the red flying lion flag of the Republic of Venice sailed into the port.

Outside the Palace of Versailles.

Louis XIV, who had just finished his happiness, received bad news through the Venetian merchant ship.

The Ottoman fleet is already cruising near Corsica!

Corsica is located in the south of France and in the west of the Italian Peninsula.

France has always regarded Corsica as its sphere of influence.

"Your Majesty, please continue to send France's powerful fleet to support the Venetian navy. Otherwise, once the Ottoman army goes to Rome, the Pope will be in danger. You must not want to witness Rome being destroyed by the Ottomans."

Give it to Duodong..."

Previously, France had kept its navy away from the Mediterranean due to Ottoman rockets. When the Venetians saw this, they had to continue to come for help.

No, is the current situation really serious?

The military strength of the Ottoman state was declining.

But no, no one in Europe dares to deny one thing. After receiving military aid from the Ming Dynasty, the Ottoman army was no less powerful than France.

But before, such a powerful military country could not threaten Rome - the main reason is that Ottoman's naval strength was too weak.

Therefore, at best, we can only fight on land, threatening the Holy Rome in the east and attacking Austria in the east.

The posthumous title is different.

The Ottoman Empire now possesses a variety of new weapons.

The galleys of the Mediterranean are not bad at all!

The hegemony of the Mediterranean was within reach of the Ottoman Empire.

In that situation.

Rome's security has become a huge problem.

"Damn Akito, you're handing over a knife over fire again!"
