Original God: The Eternal Lord of Bliss

Time is like Schrödinger's cat. When you watch it, it moves very slowly. If you are not careful, it will be like a wild boar and cannot rush in all of a sudden.

In the blink of an eye, it's time for spring ploughing.

The people living near Shimen and other brothers of the Ten Thousand Rock Army signed up early, received iron farm tools and plows, and happily went to reclaim fertile fields.

The young men waved the tools in their hands and dug down, turning out large chunks of soil. Looking at the black soil, their eyes were filled with joy.

In the distance, the stationed Qianyan soldiers, holding spears, stood straight, facing the spring breeze, staring at the distant mountains and forests without blinking, like a wall.

Outside the wall is a dangerous world full of monsters, and inside the wall is a scene of bustling production.

Tianheng Mountain.

As the place where the Rock King first made his fortune, the people here make a living by mining and are also the richest group of people in Guiliji at this stage.

In the complex mines of Tianheng Mountain, there is a group of people wearing cloth clothes and hammering on the rock walls with pickaxes in their hands.

This group of people were the people of Qingce Zhuangchi who were punished by Zhu Yuncheng and came to Tianheng Mountain to mine.

At this moment, these people's faces were decadent, their eyes were dull, and they looked like walking corpses.

These people were already frightened when they saw Wenzhu being killed directly by the Human King Guili in the hall. Then they heard that the Human King would not let them die and wanted them to mine. After being stunned, they were overjoyed. As long as they mined, they would not be killed!

But what is the actual situation? The mine here is narrow and dark, and the rock walls are extremely hard. I have been hammering with an iron pickaxe for a long time but have not been able to break a single stone. Even if I break it, it may just be pure stone without any iron ore.

Three months have passed since the start of mining, and we have only obtained less than 3,000 kilograms of iron. If this continues, when will it take for each person to mine 1,000 kilograms of iron?

"when!"

Another pickaxe fell, and a stone was chiseled off, revealing something white behind the stone.

"what is this?"

"what?"

Following a cry of surprise, a dozen people immediately gathered around with torches in hand, looking at the white thing in front of them with confusion on their faces.

"It's tin."

"No, let's go find someone to check it out."

"Looking for those people, didn't you see the way they treated us? They didn't even want to pay attention to us."

"How about we try digging?"

"Row!"

A Chi people used an iron pickaxe to dig out a fist-sized piece of the white stuff, then approached with a torch.

Zhu Yuncheng had made some reforms to the torches of this period, replacing them with cloth soaked in grease wrapped around wooden sticks. This way, the torches would burn longer and brighter.

The downside is that if one end is facing downward, burning grease will drip out.

Just as this group of people were concentrating on looking at the white mineral in their hands, a drop of burning oil fell on the mineral.

"boom!"

------

"What? Tianheng Mountain exploded?" Zhu Yuncheng was stunned when he heard the news early in the morning.

"It wasn't Tianheng Mountain that exploded, but a mine in Tianheng Mountain that exploded," said the immortal student who came to report the news.

"Fortunately, it wasn't Tianheng Mountain that exploded." Zhu Yuncheng subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then suddenly realized that something was wrong. How could an explosion happen to Tianheng Mountain?

Without thinking too much, he casually put the little Ganyu in his arms on his head, left the bedroom and flew towards Tianheng Mountain.

In just over ten minutes, he had arrived at the mountainous area of ​​Tianheng Mountain. At the foot of the mountain, he saw a mine cave from which huge rocks were constantly flying out. In front of the mine cave, Emperor and Gui Zhong were standing side by side. It seemed that the flying huge rocks were the work of Emperor.

"Emperor, Lord Guizhong."

The Emperor turned around and saw Zhu Yuncheng flying over: "Xiao Yun, you are here."

"Emperor, what is going on?" Zhu Yuncheng swallowed and prayed in his heart that not too many people would die.

"I just got here and I'm transporting the stones out of the mine." The Emperor said.

Gui Zhong held his chin with one hand and said, "Looking at this situation, it should be the 'explosive rocks' dug up by the people of Chi."

"Exploding rocks?" Zhu Yuncheng was puzzled.

"Well, look, Xiaoyun, these white crystals are explosive rocks." Gui Zhong said, pointing at the stones transported by the Emperor.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuncheng walked over and touched the stones with his hands.

At this time, the Emperor also stopped using his own strength to move the boulder: "Those humans are all dead. Guizhong, your speculation is correct. Those humans dug up the explosive stone. I think those Chi's people thought that the explosive stone was tinplate. They took the torch improved by Xiaoyun and approached it, letting the flames drip on it and causing the explosion."

Guizhong said: "Emperor, you have already told the people of Tianheng Mountain about the dangers of blasting rocks. Those people hide away when they see these two kinds of ores. Only the Chi people who were punished by Xiaoyun to mine don't know."

Zhu Yuncheng had already reported the punishment of the Chi people truthfully to the Emperor and Gui Zhong.

"The flame dripped down and caused an explosion. Isn't this saltpeter?"

Zhu Yuncheng's heart skipped a beat. He looked around, picked up a piece of broken rock, and threw it directly towards a deserted place.

Under Zhu Yuncheng's powerful physical strength, the explosive stone directly exceeded the speed of sound, hit heavily on a stone, and exploded directly with a "bang".

Looking at the smoke rising from the explosion, Zhu Yuncheng was excited: "It's really saltpeter!"

No, this is not the saltpeter mine in Shenzhou. The saltpeter mine in Shenzhou is not as pure as the saltpeter mine in Teyvat.

Considering that the fireworks in the game originated in Liyue, there must be saltpeter veins in the Tianheng Mountain area. Zhu Yuncheng also plans to develop gunpowder in the future. Combining saltpeter with sulfur and black charcoal will become the original black gunpowder. With gunpowder, firearms and cannons can be made!

Fireworks can be made, but they are secondary. Guns and cannons are the most important! In the original game, the Qianyan Army did not have such weapons.

"The yellow iron block has already been discovered, the black charcoal has already been excavated, and with the addition of saltpeter, well, I'm going to go find my arrogant master tonight!"

"Xiao Yun, what are you thinking about?" Gui Zhong couldn't help but ask when he saw Zhu Yuncheng's face show joy after throwing out a piece of saltpeter.

"Lord Guizhong, I suddenly have an idea!" Zhu Yuncheng slapped his head, indicating that this was an idea that suddenly came to him.

"Ah!" Suddenly, the little Ganyu above his head made a sound, and his watery eyes widened, "It hurts~"

Zhu Yuncheng's expression froze. How could he forget that his junior sister was still lying on his head? He quickly picked her up and rubbed her head.

Gui Zhong raised the corner of his mouth: "Xiao Yun, what are your thoughts? Tell me."

Zhu Yuncheng chuckled and said, "Master Guizhong, this is just an idea that came to my mind. I still need to test it out. I'll take my leave now."
