Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

Chapter 352

Li Jing was puzzled when Su Chen cast a resentful look at him.

When he reminded everyone to retreat just now, he did not even take care of his own son. He was worried that Su Chen could not keep up because of his "weak body". He carried Su Chen and ran backwards.

"Su kid, why are you looking at me like this?"

Su Chen looked at the place where they were standing just now with disdain, "Uncle Li, is this what you said about a hundred steps being enough?"

Li Jing was so angry that he laughed. It turned out that Su Chen thought he had misjudged the distance and put everyone in danger.

"Haha, Su kid, in my opinion, you misjudged the power of the explosives." Li Jing did not care about Su Chen. If it was his son Li Dejian, Li Jing would have taken action long ago.

Then, Li Jing reminded everyone seriously:

"Su kid, when you detonate explosives in the future, stay at least 150 steps away to ensure safety.

Remember!"

Su Chen also understood after hearing this. It is impossible for Li Jing to misjudge such a short distance.

It can only be that he misjudged the scope of the explosion. Li Jing didn't know the power of the explosives. He said to retreat a hundred steps away.

Li Tai carefully recalled the proportion of the gunpowder he prepared. He was sure that he had prepared it completely according to the proportion Su Chen said, and there was no way he could make a mistake.

"Uncle Li is right to remind me. It was my mistake. I must pay attention next time!" Su Chen scratched his head and bowed to apologize.

Li Jing smiled slightly and patted Su Chen on the shoulder.

"Su kid, if we return to the explosion point now to check it out, is it dangerous?" Li Jing is cautious in doing things and will not act arrogantly without understanding the situation.

"Uncle Li, the explosives can only explode once. There is no danger after the explosion. Let's go and take a look!"

Everyone returned to the hilltop where the explosives were placed.

"This... this..."

"Fuck!"

Su Chen and others came to the top of the hill and were shocked by the incredible scene in front of them.

Of the two boulders, the slightly larger one had been blown into several pieces, while the other one was not blown up because it was flat on the mountain.

A shallow pit was blown out between the two boulders, and one end of the intact boulder slid into the pit.

None of the stones they had piled up before were left, and they were all blown away.

"A divine weapon! It's really a divine weapon!"

As the military god of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing rarely had anything that could make him lose his composure like this.

When the explosion happened before, he saw the stones flying everywhere.

Li Jing was thinking at the time that if the explosives were detonated in the enemy camp, there would be people and horses falling down, and there would be casualties.

Others might say that explosives are against the harmony of nature, but Li Jing would not.

He had seen the blood and cruelty of the battlefield, and the enemy would not talk about morality with you.

Su Chen looked at the boulder that was blown into four pieces and was shocked.

When the earth pit was blown up yesterday, Su Chen did not realize how powerful the earth explosives were, but now he does not think so.

"Fatty, how much gunpowder did you put in?"

Su Chen suspected that Li Tai was too excited and increased the amount of gunpowder.

"I can guarantee that the total amount is 20 taels, and the proportion is strictly in accordance with what you said." Li Tai answered with certainty.

Su Chen nodded. Li Tai has always been rigorous in his research.

"Well, I believe you. It may be because the pottery jar was replaced with a copper ball. After the gunpowder was ignited, the air inside expanded to the extreme, and it was released instantly, so the power became greater."

"Uncle Li, there is nothing to see here. Let's go back!" Su Chen looked at Li Jing and said.

Li Jing stood there, staring at the explosion pit, without saying a word, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a moment, Li Jing slowly nodded and looked at Su Chen and Li Chengqian.

"Su boy, let's go back and discuss it!"

...

After returning to the manor, Li Jing did not stay for long.

"Su boy, Your Highness, I have to go to the palace. You must be cautious and don't take risks."

Before leaving, he repeatedly told Su Chen and the others to pay attention to safety.

Finally, he did not forget to stare at Li Dejian for a while, shook his head, and said, "Stupid!"

Then Li Jing bowed and walked out of the manor. Su Chen and others sent Li Jing to the entrance of the manor.

After Li Jing walked away, Su Chen and others returned to the manor.

"Brother Dejian, do you often get beaten at home?" Su Chen asked curiously. He felt that the generals of the Tang Dynasty seemed to have a very special way of educating their sons.

"Hehe, it's okay! My mother doesn't get along with the old guy and often protects me."

Li Dejian smiled proudly.

Su Chen nodded. In his impression, Hong Funu seemed to have a bad temper.

"Brother Su Chen, you can just call me Dejian from now on!"

"Okay, you can just call me Su Chen."

"Hehe, OK!"

Back in the study, Su Chen first asked: "Dejian, you have been working as a supervisor before.? "

"Less than a year. Before that, the old man had always let me stay in the barracks and mess around." Li Dejian shook his head and replied.

"Then can you, the General of Works, melt iron into molten iron?"

Su Chen asked tentatively. Apart from some weapons and farm tools, Su Chen had not seen any other iron products.

"No! Gold, silver, copper and tin, tin is the easiest to melt, followed by silver, gold and copper are about the same." Li Dejian thought for a while and said what he knew in turn.

Su Chen nodded and said lightly: "It seems that the melting point of iron is better!"

"By the way, what do you do in the General of Works?"

"Imperial palace architectural carvings." Li Dejian blurted out.

"Are you a carpenter?" Su Chen was surprised. He always thought that the General of Works was dealing with gold and silver wares.

"No, I'm just good at carving. "

Su Chen didn't plan to ask any more questions, as his major was not relevant.

But he didn't give up and continued to ask: "Dejian, do you know how the copper ball was made just now?"

"I know! And the faucet I made some time ago was made by sand casting."

Su Chen opened his eyes wide, never expecting it.

A casual question actually yielded unexpected results, and then Su Chen figured it out.

Bronze ware has been used for thousands of years, and the sand casting process must have existed since ancient times.

"Okay, okay, I'm relieved, hahaha!" Su Chen suddenly laughed.

The other three were confused and at a loss.

"You can't turn iron into water, but I can.

After the road in Shanxi is repaired and the steel mill is built, I'll let you see what a torrent of steel is. "

Su Chen was full of confidence. After the blast furnace was built, there would be no need to open the furnace to forge weapons in the future. The molten iron could be directly injected into the mold in one go.

Seeing the confused look on the faces of the three of them, Su Chen did not intend to say more.

"Li Tai, let's go and see how the sulfur is being refined.

Don't delay the important things!"

Su Chen stood up and looked at Li Tai and urged him.

There is no extra sulfur to make explosives now, only less than one or two.

Su Chen plans to make some cylindrical explosives for road construction and mountain opening.

The establishment of the steel mill is imminent, and Su Chen wants to make a charcoal furnace but cannot do it due to lack of iron.

So the biggest task at present is to complete the cement road leading to Shanxi as soon as possible.

"Okay, follow me!"

Li Tai stood up and led the way out of the study.
