Chapter 133 Are you still making gunpowder?
As a man in science and engineering in his previous life, he still knew the principle of making charcoal. Wood does not burn completely.
In this regard, he thought of a way to use mud to make a closed space with only a hole in it. When it was almost burning, he blocked the opening.
"Brother Lin, is there anything you need me to do?"
Jian Bai spoke enthusiastically from the side.
He would be able to learn how to make gunpowder right away, and the thought of it made him excited.
In his opinion, this kind of item with the power of thunder must be very advanced to make.
Could it be similar to alchemy? Do you need to put the raw materials in and refine them for [-] days?
Or is it like building a magic weapon, hammering a bunch of things tens of thousands of times?
Or are there a variety of cumbersome items that need to be used, and they need to keep looking for them in the future?
In his opinion, the process of making gunpowder must be very tedious. Even so, as long as it can be made, it is all worth it.
"Have."
Lin Xiaofan smiled and nodded.
"Go ahead and talk."
Jian Bai waved his hand. He is mentally prepared and will give his full support regardless of whether he contributes money or effort.
"And mud."
Lin Xiaofan slowly spoke.
Suddenly, Jian Bai was stunned.
And mud? Isn't this what children play when they are bored?
I remember that when he was a child, his favorite thing was to play in the mud. He would get covered in mud every time, and then he would be scolded by his parents.
But how could something as powerful as thunder use mud?
For a moment, he was deeply suspicious of Lin Xiaofan.
"Brother Lin, let me ask you a question, have you ever made one?"
Lin Xiaofan didn't intend to lie to Jian Bai and shook his head without hesitation.
Hearing this, Jian Bai felt completely unsure.
"Then have you seen the power of that gunpowder?"
This time, Lin Xiaofan nodded.
Jian Bai thought for a moment and thought of the enigmatic master behind Lin Xiaofan, so he decided to believe it once.
"Okay, I'll do it right now."
With that said, he went out to get some dirt with a bucket in hand. The main thing is to dig a piece of soil in Lin Xiaofan's yard, which is too unsightly.
"Husband, you are back."
Liu Sisi and Tian Meng just returned home, each holding a large bundle of firewood.
When she saw her husband coming back, Liu Sisi quickly put down the firewood, ran over and ran into Lin Xiaofan's arms.
They have been dealing with various things in the past two days, and the two have not been intimate for a long time. In addition, Tian Meng was the only child around, so she became bolder.
Lin Xiaofan felt the soft body in his arms, took a deep breath, and kissed her.
His wife has taken the initiative, so he can't lag behind, can he?
Seeing this, Tian Meng on the side silently put down the firewood he was holding and walked back into the house.
After a long time, the two reluctantly separated.
Jian Bai came back with a large bucket of soil and a bucket of water.
It's not difficult to mix in the mud, but this job is a bit dirty.
Jian Bai wanted to learn skills, so he took the initiative to do this job for himself.
He was no longer a child, and the whole process was done very carefully. However, after this operation, the clothes were still covered with mud.
While it was still dark, Lin Xiaofan started working.
His idea was simple: make an upside-down bowl out of soil, and dig out the top to make a lid. When the time comes, burn the wood, cover it with a lid after burning to a certain extent, and it will be solved in one cut.
Jian Bai on the side also learned the lesson well. Maybe it's because he liked playing with mud since he was a child, so he is more skilled at it than Lin Xiaofan.
The two of them worked until night to get this done.
On the second day, when they saw that they were almost done, they took off the top and made a cover.
Lin Xiaofan added a lot of wood to it and lit it on fire. Wait until the time is almost up and then seal the lid.
When I took off the lid in the afternoon, I found several dark pieces of charcoal lying inside.
……
In the blink of an eye, the fifteenth day has passed.
In the early morning, the sun shines into the house through the window, waking up Lin Xiaofan from his sleep.
After traveling for more than a month, he has developed a good habit of working at sunrise.
He sat up and stretched.
"Hey...it's so cold."
For some reason, the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees today, causing him to take a breath.
Liu Sisi, who was sleeping next to her, was also woken up, but she turned over and didn't think about it yet.
Since Hua Hou arrived, Lin Xiaofan became more and more aggressive every day, and he tortured her until midnight yesterday.
Looking out the window, snowflakes as big as coins are flying in the air. The yard, mountains, and trees are all covered with white snowflakes.
"Snow?"
No wonder it's so cold this morning.
Thinking about it, Lin Xiaofan quickly put on his clothes.
"Wow, that's a lot of snow."
Liu Sisi also sat up and saw the white sky outside.
If it were in the past, she would have been worried when encountering heavy snow, not knowing how to survive this cold winter.
But now I follow Lin Xiaofan, eat well, drink well, wear good clothes, and don't have to worry about winter. Naturally, I have time to enjoy the beautiful snow scene.
"Come on, let's go have a look."
Lin Xiaofan spoke excitedly.
During these fifteen days, he was either studying gunpowder or teaching medical skills to Hua Hou from morning to night, but he was bored to death.
Now that gunpowder has been created, it has not yet been tested. I have almost finished talking about medical skills, so I have time to relax.
It happens to be snowing, so we can have snowball fights and build snowmen.
"it is good!"
Liu Sisi also became interested and hurriedly got up and got dressed.
Walking out of the door, Lin Xiaofan was shocked by the scene in front of him.
The white earth, the blue sky, the overlapping mountains, the white and green pine trees, and the blue lake form a natural picture.
"so beautiful."
Liu Sisi looked at the scene in front of her with shock in her eyes. In the past, she was worried about food and drink day and night, and could not discover the beauty of nature. Now I calmed down and watched, and was severely shocked by the scene in front of me.
"I just don't know how many people will die this winter."
Liu Shishi was also on the side, looking at the snowy scene in front of her and sighing.
The country is in crisis and the people are in dire straits. When it snows heavily, I don’t know how many people will freeze to death.
Lin Xiaofan also felt a little sad. It's not that he is the Holy Mother, but the thought of countless people being buried under this white snow makes him feel a little sad.
If conditions permit, he is willing to help more poor people.
"Shishi, everyone has their own destiny. We have done everything we can."
Lin Xiaofan said.
At least he has arranged at least one job for every household in the village, which can ensure that the villagers will not die this winter.
When his industry develops in the future, he can also provide work opportunities for people in several surrounding villages. However, his abilities are limited now.
"Brother Lin, do you want to continue making gunpowder today?"
Jian Bai also came over and asked.
During these fifteen days, he had been following Lin Xiaofan in making gunpowder, and at the same time he was impressed by Lin Xiaofan's wisdom.
The production of gunpowder seemed to him simply astonishing.
Although he memorized the whole process, he didn't understand the principle at all.
