My father is Jiajing

Chapter 261 Prince Yu combines work and rest

The experiment of Redzi and Nordzi was very successful. On an open space, with only one tenth of the amount of nitroglycerin than the usual amount of gunpowder, they exploded a huge pit on the ground that was even more terrifying than a gunpowder explosion.

Such a brutal explosive force stunned the people watching the experiment from a distance.

Huang Jin was no longer sleepy. He looked at the huge pit in front of him in disbelief, and then looked at Zhu Zaiqi who came with him, "Prince, is this true?"

Zhu Zaigui was still covering his ears. The sound of the explosion was so loud that Zhu Zaigui forgot to take precautions in advance, and he even had some tinnitus.

So when Huang Jin was talking, Zhu Zaigui asked loudly with a puzzled look on his face: "What! did! you! say? I! can't! hear! clearly!"

Zhu Zaigui's voice was so loud that it caused tinnitus in Huang Jin's ears, which were already suffering from it.

After a long while, the tinnitus symptoms of both people were alleviated.

At this time, Lei Dezi and Nuo Dezi also stood cautiously in front of Zhu Zaigui and Huang Jin, and both of them looked nervous and afraid.

Although the two knew that the thing they made would explode, they never dreamed it would be so powerful.

If Zhu Zaigui had not repeatedly reminded them of the danger of this thing, the two might have been torn to pieces before the test.

Now they were standing in front of Zhu Zaigui and Huang Jin with the same nervousness, waiting for Zhu Zaigui and Huang Jin's decision.

Zhu Zaigui had recovered by now, and ordered the guards beside him: "Go and measure how deep and wide this pit is."

The guards, who were also shocked, immediately took action after hearing Zhu Zaigui's order to measure the large pit created by the nitroglycerin.

They never dreamed that there would be something more ferocious than gunpowder in this world. It really broke through their previous cognition.

After giving these instructions, Zhu Zaiqi looked at Huang Jin, whose expression had just calmed down, and said, "Eunuch, you have also seen how powerful this thing is. I don't think I need to explain it again, right? I really don't dare to make the decision. Please go back and report to His Majesty, and let His Majesty make the final decision."

After Huang Jin heard what Zhu Zaigui said, he was still a little hesitant, but when he thought about the explosion that had just happened, he felt that he should ask for instructions again.

This thing is really terrible, even more ferocious than gunpowder. We should really ask Emperor Jiajing for instructions again.

Huang Jin also immediately ordered the Dongchang guards he brought with him: "From now on, anyone who wants to enter or leave the Divine Medicine Institute must undergo strict inspection. Anyone who leaves without a warrant will be killed without mercy!"

As a senior eunuch who served closely to Emperor Jiajing, Huang Jin usually looked kind and smiling to everyone, but when it came to the critical moment, he was still very reliable.

You have to know that he is not just a eunuch who can only serve people, he is also the governor of the East Factory, one of the most powerful spy agencies in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, in the defense of the suburbs of Beijing last year, Huang Jin was also a brave man who dared to rush forward to kill the Tatars with his sword drawn.

So now that he had re-recognized the power of nitroglycerin, he immediately became serious and repeated the order that Zhu Zaigui had given yesterday.

"Your Majesty, I will ask the Emperor for advice on this matter, but you have to be more patient during this period. Please don't make any mistakes."

Huang Jin spoke to Zhu Zaigui with the same concern.

Zhu Zaiyi nodded and said, "Don't worry, eunuch. I know how serious this is. I will never risk my life, nor will I reveal any secrets." Huang Jin felt relieved after hearing what Zhu Zaiyi said, and then bowed to Zhu Zaiyi, "I will go back to the capital to ask the emperor for instructions. Your Majesty, please take charge of the situation here."

Zhu Zaigui also understood what Huang Jin meant. This matter was indeed rather special and indeed required someone who could make the decision to be in charge. So Zhu Zaigui did not think that Huang Jin was arranging him to do something, but just thought that it was part of his job.

Huang Jin then glanced at the two unremarkable Taoist masters, Lei Dezi and Nuo Dezi, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, the two immortals. I will take you back to see the emperor."

When Lei Dezi and Nuo Dezi heard that Huang Jin was going to take them back to the capital to see the emperor, they couldn't help but get excited and nervous. Hadn't they come to the capital for so many years just to see the emperor and let the emperor see their true abilities?
Now that the opportunity has finally come, one can imagine how excited they are.

Lei Dezi and Nuo Dezi bowed to Huang Jin excitedly and said, "Thank you for your support, eunuch."

Huang Jin looked at their excited expressions and reminded them, "The two immortals should thank the prince."

When the two heard Huang Jin's words, they immediately bowed to Zhu Zaigui again, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhu Zaigui waved his hand and smiled, then said with concern: "When the two immortals see the emperor, you must relax your mind and answer whatever the emperor asks. Don't waste this great opportunity by being ambiguous. After all, what the two immortals have refined is a magical medicine that can save people's hearts and veins, not explosives that can destroy everything. Therefore, you must behave like immortals."

Zhu Zaigui's words actually had a hidden meaning. He wanted the two people to tell the truth and say everything they should say, and not to hesitate and arouse the suspicion of Emperor Jiajing.

After Lei Dezi and Nuo Dezi heard Zhu Zaigui's words, they bowed in gratitude and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reminder."

Zhu Zaiqi hummed and said, "You guys go with Eunuch Huang. I will help you take care of things here for the time being."

After seeing off Huang Jin and the two chemical engineers, Zhu Zaigui couldn't help but reveal an expression of emotion.

It seems that this is not the real power of nitroglycerin. I heard that Nobel used diatomaceous earth mixed with nitroglycerin. It not only improved the adsorption stability of nitroglycerin, but also further increased the power of explosives. It is also safer and more controllable than black powder.

Therefore, apart from the secret blockade, the issue that should be considered now is to find this magical mineral called diatomaceous earth, and to combine it with nitroglycerin in new experiments to create a more powerful and safer practical gunpowder. This is the real direction of exploration.

Otherwise, given the current instability of nitroglycerin, it would take a lot of caution to bring it out of the laboratory safely, which obviously does not meet the standards of practicality.

Therefore, there is still a long way to go in the experimental use of nitroglycerin, and these two chemical masters need to continue their efforts.

After thinking about this, Zhu Zaigui withdrew his thoughts. The explosion just now was so loud and so powerful that Mr. Si Hua might have been frightened at the moment. So as a good student who respects teachers, Zhu Zaigui decided to go and visit Mr. Si Hua to comfort him first.

Anyway, everything is under control at the Miracle Medicine Institute now. Since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well do something meaningful to relax my body and mind and unwind my spirit.

This can be considered a combination of work and rest.

So, Zhu Zaigui went to find Si Hua in a happy mood.

On the way to find Si Hua, Zhu Zaigui couldn't help thinking in his heart: "It's still good to be young, and the body is great! But we still have to be moderate, so this time we will only discuss the theory and never go into depth!"
