The princess arrives and the prosperous Tang Dynasty begins
Chapter 33: Making Gunpowder
On a quiet night, Lin Xiao began to experiment with making gunpowder in his own residence. He carefully recalled modern chemical knowledge and mixed raw materials such as sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal in a certain proportion. These raw materials were not rare in the Tang Dynasty, and he found them easily.
Lin Xiao performed each step carefully. He knew that the process of making gunpowder required great care and could lead to danger if he was not careful. He ground the sulfur and saltpeter into fine powders and then mixed them with charcoal powder. Then, he added the right amount of water and stirred the mixture into a paste.
In order to ensure the quality of the gunpowder, Lin Xiao conducted many experiments and adjustments. He constantly changed the proportion of raw materials and tried different production methods to find the best formula. After several days of hard work, he finally succeeded in making a batch of gunpowder.
Lin Xiao excitedly took the gunpowder and came to Di Renjie, a prominent official in the Tang Dynasty, who had always been curious and appreciative of Lin Xiao's modern knowledge and skills.
Lin Xiao: Sir, I have successfully made gunpowder!
Detective Dee: Oh? This is the gunpowder you mentioned? What’s so special about it?
Lin Xiao: Sir, this gunpowder is extremely powerful. Once ignited, it will produce a strong explosion.
Di Renjie: Is it really that magical? Can you show it to me?
Lin Xiao: Of course, sir. But before showing it, please take protective measures.
Di Renjie: Okay, I’ll have people prepare it right away.
Lin Xiao put a small amount of gunpowder in a small container and ignited it. With a loud bang, the gunpowder exploded, producing strong flames and smoke.
Di Renjie was startled by the sudden explosion, but he quickly regained his composure.
Di Renjie: It is indeed very powerful! If this gunpowder is used in military affairs, it will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of our army.
Lin Xiao: Your Excellency is right. I want to use this gunpowder for military purposes to defend our country.
Di Renjie: Very good! I will immediately order people to organize production and use this gunpowder for military training and equipment upgrades.
Lin Xiao said seriously: "Sir, do you know? This gunpowder is very dangerous! You must be very careful when producing and using it." She frowned, her tone full of worry.
Di Renjie nodded and said solemnly: "I understand that the power of this gunpowder should not be underestimated. If used carelessly, it may cause irreversible consequences." He also knew very well that if this new type of weapon was used improperly, it would not only pose a threat to the enemy, but could also endanger the lives of his own people.
Lin Xiao continued to emphasize: "Therefore, sir, we must take all measures to ensure the safety of gunpowder. We must never let it fall into the hands of criminals, and we must not let it become a weapon that endangers the people." Her eyes were firm and serious, as if she had already seen the possible crisis in the future.
After thinking for a moment, Di Renjie replied: "Well, I will assign special people to be in charge of this matter. They will strictly abide by safety regulations to ensure that the production and use of gunpowder are safe and reliable. At the same time, I will also strengthen the supervision of gunpowder to prevent any accidents from happening."
Lin Xiao felt relieved when she heard Di Renjie's words. She believed that Di Renjie would be able to handle this matter well. After all, he has always been a smart, wise and responsible person. So she smiled and said, "Then I am relieved, sir. I hope we can give full play to the advantages of gunpowder and protect the safety of the country and the people."
Di Renjie smiled and nodded in agreement. He knew that in the face of such a powerful weapon, only by acting cautiously could disasters be avoided. In this turbulent era, every step needed to be taken carefully to protect the peace and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
With Di Renjie's support, Lin Xiao started large-scale gunpowder production. They built a secret factory dedicated to the production of gunpowder. Lin Xiao was responsible for guiding the production process and ensuring the quality and safety of the gunpowder. Di Renjie was responsible for organizing the training and equipment update of the army.
As the production of gunpowder gradually increased, Di Renjie began to apply it to the military field. He first used gunpowder to make weapons such as rockets and artillery. These weapons showed great power on the battlefield and brought great shock to the enemy.
The army of the Tang Dynasty, led by Di Renjie, used gunpowder weapons to achieve a series of victories. They successfully repelled the invasion of foreign enemies and defended the security of the country. The application of gunpowder not only changed the way of war, but also improved the combat effectiveness and morale of the Tang Dynasty army.
In addition to military applications, gunpowder also played an important role in other fields. Lin Xiao and Di Renjie realized that gunpowder could be used in mining, construction, and fireworks. They actively promoted the application of gunpowder and promoted the economic and cultural development of the Tang Dynasty.
In mining, the explosive power of gunpowder can help people mine ore faster and improve mining efficiency. In construction, gunpowder can be used to demolish old buildings and dig foundations, providing convenience for urban construction and development. In fireworks production, the gorgeous effects of gunpowder bring joy and surprise to people.
With the widespread use of gunpowder, the society of the Tang Dynasty has undergone tremendous changes. People's awareness and attention to science and technology have continued to increase, and innovation and invention have become hot topics in society. Lin Xiao and Di Renjie became heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and their names have been passed down by people.
However, Lin Xiao was not satisfied with the achievements he had made. He knew that the potential of gunpowder was far from being fully explored, and he continued to devote himself to the research and improvement of gunpowder. He hoped to develop more advanced and safer gunpowder technology and make greater contributions to the future development of the Tang Dynasty.
Thanks to Lin Xiao's efforts, gunpowder technology has been continuously improved and perfected. He invented a more stable and powerful gunpowder formula, making the application of gunpowder more extensive and safer. He also studied the explosion principle of gunpowder and put forward some new theories and methods, laying a solid foundation for the development of gunpowder.
Lin Xiao's invention and contribution not only changed the history of the Tang Dynasty, but also had a profound impact on the development of world science and technology. The spread and application of gunpowder gradually spread to other countries and regions, promoting the progress and development of human society.
However, the invention of gunpowder also brought some negative effects. As gunpowder technology spread, wars became more brutal and destructive. People began to use gunpowder to make more advanced weapons, which led to the continuous increase in the scale and lethality of wars.
Lin Xiao realized this problem and began to think about how to balance the application of gunpowder and social development. He hoped that through education and publicity, people would correctly understand the role and impact of gunpowder and avoid its abuse and misuse.
Under Lin Xiao's advocacy, the Tang Dynasty began to attach importance to science and technology education and humanistic care. People began to realize that the development of science and technology should be combined with human welfare, and they should not only pursue technological progress but also ignore the impact on society.
