Chapter 241 on how to quickly and safely send explosives to the front line
Chapter 242
bomb?
Although some could not understand the meaning of these two words, this did not delay everyone from realizing the power of this bomb.
A large wooden board a foot away can be fried to pieces, maybe...
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes are full of joy.
As for Zhao Tuo, he looked at the dark pit and sighed inwardly.
"That's the power of technology.
"Sure enough, the advantages of hot weapons are unmatched by cold weapons.
That's right, what was in the clay pot just now was the black powder he made in the most primitive way!
This thing is far more awesome than most people imagine.
Every 4 grams of black powder can produce 280 liters of gas in a very short time after burning.
The volume can be expanded by nearly ten thousand times.
Therefore, once it is ignited in a closed space, it will produce a great impact force and a small range of short-term high temperature.
It's called an explosion!
It is conceivable that the huge jar of gunpowder just now burst out with terrifying energy.
As the saying goes.
The power is not enough, the equivalent is to make up.
As long as there is this thing, the city gate of the Peacock Dynasty is still a problem?
And once gunpowder appears, the speed of Daqin's combat effectiveness in the future will be far beyond the comparison of all the excesses of this era!
Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo couldn't wait to see the horror and shock of the enemy when the gunpowder appeared on the battlefield.
"Come on! Get up and drive back to the palace!"
Zhao Tuo and everyone rushed back to the palace without stopping.
As soon as they arrived in the hall, before Zhao Tuo could speak, Ying Zheng, Meng Yi and others began to discuss the production and future planning of the bomb and black powder.
"Your Majesty, this minister feels that if this black powder is used in war, the Qin army will surely sweep the world and be invincible!"
"What General Meng said is, let's not talk about such a terrifying power, the firelight and loud noise alone are enough to frighten the enemy!"
"If I had this bomb back then, I would have swept across the six countries with no effort!"
"Although this black powder is the top priority, according to His Majesty's words, this thing should be extremely dangerous, so it is better to be cautious when manufacturing and transporting it.
"Mr. Meng is right..."
"This matter has to be considered in the long run. It seems that it is also a big problem to manufacture this thing and transport it to the front line of the Mauryan Dynasty. 35
"Hey... this really needs to be thought out.
They were on the road just now, but they heard Zhao Tuo say it himself.
"This black powder is extremely sensitive, and it will be detonated if you are not careful, so you still have to be careful.
However, with the advance of Wang Ben's army, Xianyang is now farther and farther from the front line of the Mauryan Dynasty.
It would take ten days and a half months for the fast-moving team to arrive.
If it is safe to drive slowly, it is estimated that it will take a month.
For such a long time, what kind of changes will take place in the occupation...
As a result, the crowd gradually fell silent.
As for Zhao Tuo sitting above everyone, he did not participate in the discussion.
Instead, he scribbled on paper with a pen.
Knowing that half an hour later, he picked up a large sheet of paper that was filled with black powder making methods, usage methods, storage methods, and precautions, and looked at it with satisfaction.
"All right!"
Set the paper aside and wait for the ink to dry naturally.
Only then did Zhao Tuo look at everyone and said, "Father, everyone, regarding the transport of gunpowder, your thoughts are somewhat imprisoned.
"Oh?
Everyone looked at Zhao Tuo.
Generally, when Zhao Tuo says this, it means that he already has a method on his side.
Zhao Tuo said with a smile: "Since it's difficult to transport over a long distance, we'll be finished if we don't transport it."
"The method of making black powder is not difficult, and the raw materials are relatively easy to find.
"We just need to send this production method and some things that need attention in the form of letters.
"The black powder can be used on the front line for a month, but if you send the production method, the black powder will appear on the battlefield within seven days!"
"Yes! 35
Ying Zheng slapped his hand suddenly...
Meng Yi and others also suddenly realized.
yes!
If you want to use black gunpowder on the front line, why do you have to make it in Xianyang Palace and deliver it?
Just make it right on the front line!
Never would have imagined that these aged people would suffer from empiricism in horror...
Seeing everyone's excited faces, Zhao Tuo said something else.
Folded the dried letter, handed it to the eunuch beside him, and instructed: "Take this to the Buddha army outside the city. 35
"It's my order, let them be light and fast, and make sure to hand this over to General Wang Ben, and there must be no mistakes.
"Here!
The eunuch leaves.
Zhao Tuo's eyes flickered.
In fact, such things as sending letters should have been handled by people who specialize in intelligence.
However, this letter, which records the detailed information of the black powder, is really of great importance.
Such confidential information, which could influence the victory of the entire war, was obviously more suitable for the Buddha Army, who maintained absolute loyalty to him.
On the front line of the Peacock Dynasty, Wang Ben and other generals stood in a circle around the defense map on the table, all of them frowning.
Since taking down this 1.0 fortress, they have successfully repelled two waves of disorderly attacks from the Mauryan Dynasty.
The reason why it is said to be a disorderly attack is that the other party seems to have lost half of the connection.
First came a wave of 50,000 troops.
Just after they were repelled, there was a wave of 70,000 troops on the other side.
They could have attacked together but had to spread out.
In fact, people are not surprised by this situation.
After all, the Peacock Dynasty is now headless, and the internal chaos has turned into a pot of porridge. These are all reasonable things.
The reason why the brows are not raised is mainly because, just now.
They again attacked another city not far from the fortress.
However... in the end it came home empty-handed.
