Live broadcast of popular science about Emperor’s Mausoleum, ancient emperors were furious

Chapter 119

[Although China is the first country to use black powder, due to various reasons, the production method of black powder is not popular. 】

[Children who have studied chemistry know that one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal. But do you know where these ingredients come from?

[The raw materials of black powder are very simple, let's talk about them in detail separately. 】

[First of all, sulfur was sulfur in ancient times, don't confuse it with realgar. If you want to produce in large quantities, you can go around the vicinity of the volcano, and you may find natural ~ sulfur mines. 】

[The crystals of sulfur are needle-like, and they need to be carefully ground into powder, and secondly, nitrate refers to saltpeter, the main component is potassium nitrate, which is a colorless - or white crystal. 】

[In ancient times, there were saltpeter mines that could be mined, and the rich people used potassium nitrate to dissolve in water to absorb heat to make ice, which was used by the rich to cool down. 】

[Potassium nitrate can also be recycled and reused, because potassium nitrate will decompose at more than 300 degrees to produce oxygen, so it also needs to be carefully crushed into powder. 】

[As for charcoal, everyone is most familiar with it. 】

[This is the main raw material of black powder, and it is very easy to obtain even in ancient times. 】

On the canopy.

The raw materials needed to make black powder were clearly displayed in front of the ancients.

"Good fellow, it's easy. "

"Even ordinary people can do it. "

"There's a saltpeter mine near me, so I didn't expect it to be of such use. "

The ancients were also considered to have a long period of knowledge.

The raw materials needed to make black powder are all obvious and extremely readily available.

I didn't expect that the raw materials of such a powerful firearm would be so ordinary.

Many ancients thought that it was difficult to get hold of the ammunition used by planes and tanks for bombing.

The emperors also took action.

Of course, they can't use coercive means to stop the common people from making black powder, but they can put an end to this behavior at the root.

Ying Zheng: "Immediately look for saltpeter mines and sulfur, these things must be controlled by the state, otherwise there will be a big mess." "

Liu Che: "It turns out that the raw materials for making black powder can be obtained so easily, and it seems that the day of destroying the Huns is not far away." "

Liu Bei: "Strategist, there seem to be a lot of saltpeter mines in our Shudi, right?"

Zhuge Liang: "Of course, these things are not a problem, I have already sent someone to mine, and we will have black powder soon." "

Liu Bei smiled.

Li Shimin: "I didn't expect the raw materials of black powder to be so easy to obtain, but fortunately, these raw materials are relatively simple to control, and they will not be easily obtained by the common people." "

......

[After getting sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal, just grind them into powder.] 】

[However, it is necessary to pay attention to the proportion, one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal. 】

[The 123 here is not a relationship between mass, but between the quantity of matter.] 】

[According to the chemical equation, its mass should be 32:202:36, and in the actual mixing process, it is necessary to consider the impurities in various raw materials to adjust. 】

[In fact, the black powder prepared according to the proportion of the chemical equation has a full reaction, and the heat generated by the strong explosive force is the highest, and a large amount of smoke will be produced at the same time as the black powder explodes. 】

[If we put black powder in a small space and ignite it, it can be made into explosives.] 】

[There are many methods, such as rolling paper into a cannon like a firecracker, or putting it in a bamboo tube and using a fuse to detonate it. 】

That's it for the video.

The raw materials and production methods of black powder are all clearly presented in front of the ancients.

There were many wars and troubles in ancient times.

The heroes are divided.

Each of the princes began to study how to make black powder, and sent people to find the origin of the raw materials.

The period of Chu and Han hegemony.

Han Xin immediately gathered his own soldiers and asked them to go to various places to find nitrate ore and sulfur that could be used.

"As long as you have black powder, you can get twice the result with half the effort when you start a war. "

"I didn't expect that I, Hanshin, would one day be able to use the methods of war after 2000, what a great honor. "

Han Shin smiled happily.

He's a soldier idiot.

After seeing the Korean War and the Gulf War, he longed for the wars of the future.

A lot of the time.

Han Xin would think quietly.

What kind of effect would it be if he traveled to the afterlife and commanded the soldiers and horses of those thermal weapons eras.

Now his dream has come true.

Although black powder is not as exaggerated as the power of thermal weapons in later generations, it is still approaching that direction.

So.

He can command an army that can use black powder.

And on the other side.

Xiang Yu showed the opposite attitude.

"Hmph! What black powder, it's all a lie. There is no one in the world who can match my strength!"

"I'm the overlord Xiang Yu!"

Xiang Yu sneered disdainfully.

He never took black powder into his eyes.

......

Three Kingdoms period.

"Have you written it all down?"

Liu Bei looked at the main book next to him.

"Lord Qi, the raw materials and production methods of black powder have been written down word for word. "

The master bookkeeper put down the pen and presented the bamboo slip to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei opened it and was overjoyed.

That's great!

This is the biggest weapon for Shu Han to enter the Central Plains.

"Strategist, the original Longzhong is right, it seems that it will be realized soon. "

"The dream of unification of the world is about to come true. "

Liu Bei was holding the bamboo slip, and his excited hands were trembling.

As long as there is the killer feature of black powder.

What Cao Cao, Sun Quan.

That's really the generation of local chickens and dogs.

"Liang will definitely do his best to be in charge of the lord. "

Zhuge Liang said.

......

Of course.

Except for the era of separation.

The heroes of the great unified dynasty are also thinking about solutions.

Daming.

"Boss, this matter must be taken seriously. "

"Black powder can't be hidden anymore, the people are not stupid, and they can't feel like we've lied to them. "

"Let them clearly know that black powder is very useful, but it must be controlled by the imperial court, and once it is used by some ill-intentioned people, it is likely to cause a catastrophe. "

"This matter must be explained clearly to the people by parents and officials everywhere, and there must be no misunderstanding. "

"If an official dares to disobey the yang and the yin, don't blame us for destroying his nine clans!" (read the violent novel, go to the Feilu Novel Network!)

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy and terrifying.

His eyes were full of murderous intent.

It's a bit of a big deal.

The popularization of black powder is obviously to leave a magic weapon for the common people.

Once the court or the emperor is mediocre. []

The common people can use this magic weapon to pull the emperor off his horse and overthrow the dynasty.

The cost of domination will become higher and higher from this point on.

Zhu Yuanzhang must pay attention to it.

"Dad, I understand. "

Zhu Biao nodded heavily.

He is also aware of the seriousness of the problem.

Black powder must be in the hands of the imperial court.

However, this matter should also explain the pros and cons to the people, and some people with ill intentions should not be allowed to take advantage of it.

The world is predetermined.

The Ming Dynasty was an empire built in ruins and war.

A lot to do.

There must be no more major upheaval.

Otherwise.

The people of China will fall into boundless misery again.

"Dad, we can't deceive ourselves, black powder and thermal weapons are the main theme of the future, if we don't pay attention to it, we will be surpassed by those guys in Europe and the United States sooner or later. "

Zhu Di took the initiative to speak.

"That's a good point. "

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with Zhu Di's idea.

Now is not the time to cover your ears and steal the bell.

Now that the production method and raw materials of black powder have been revealed, there is no point in hiding it anymore.

It's better to develop a weapon of black powder in a big way.

Maybe it's like the afterlife.

It doesn't take too many soldiers and horses to start a big campaign.

Think of it this way.

The cost of developing black powder is obviously much lower than that of large army operations in the era of cold weapons, and the efficiency is greatly improved.

Why not?

This is not only Zhu Yuanzhang's idea.

Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty also issued a will.

"From today onwards, thoroughly investigate the saltpeter mines and sulfur of the people, and we must keep these things in the hands of the imperial court. "

"Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, the two of you are in charge of immediately developing weapons based on black powder, and first assign these weapons to the Xuanjia soldiers. "

Li Shimin was eager to try.

The weapons developed with black powder are equivalent to the thermal weapons of later generations.

He's the same as Han Shin.

All want to personally only have a hot weapons war enjoyable.

......

Daqin.

Ying Zheng was very happy.

Awesome!

I didn't expect there to be such an unexpected gain from watching videos.
