The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1156

[Chapter 1156: Continuous Explosions]

Finally, after working for about half an hour, Lin Tian had already taken enough saltpeter to fill half a bamboo tube. Lin Tian felt that it was enough, and then he took the saltpeter and left.

Lin Tian prepared again and began to prepare gunpowder. Because Lin Tian had never made gunpowder himself before.

So he was not very accurate in the proportion of saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, and some arsenic, and needed some experiments.

This time, Lin Tian did not experiment in the courtyard, because he was afraid that Chen Huifang would come to watch again. If something unexpected happened, it would not only be an explosion, but even a fire.

So this time, Lin Tian directly sent Chen Huifang away.

Lin Tian first put sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal, the three main raw materials, in a ratio of one to one to one, and then added some honey and some other auxiliary materials such as arsenic, and then Lin Tian ignited the charcoal. With a

“bang”, the materials of Lin Tian’s experiment turned into ashes, and Lin Tian was even more frightened and stepped back.

“What’s the problem? Is it the ratio of the materials? Although I don’t remember the specific amount of materials, I still know the ratio, so there shouldn’t be any problem.”

Lin Tian walked back again, and after taking a look, he scratched his head awkwardly and said to himself.

Thinking of this, Lin Tian walked to the bookshelf in his room again, and then carefully flipped through the bamboo slips, but these bamboo slips were the products of this dynasty, and there was no record of gunpowder on them.

Finally, Lin Tian flipped through a bamboo slip that recorded some strange things in the world. There were some records about the sulfur ore that Lin Tian asked Guard Ying and Guard Lie to find before.

“Sulfur ore, a yellow stone, will melt when it meets water, and the water will turn yellow. This kind of stone will be produced in volcanoes. Its nature is yang, and it is the most yang thing.”

Lin Tian read it carefully, but Lin Tian found that the record about this sulfur ore in this bamboo slip was also pitiful, with only a few short sentences. So, Lin Tian had to continue flipping through it.

Lin Tian flipped through the book again and saw the record about saltpeter, but there were only a few short sentences.

“Saltpeter, a white powder, usually appears in the stones by the river. It can be obtained by soaking the stones by the river and then steaming the soaked water. It can also be obtained on some damp walls. It is a very yin thing.”

After seeing this, Lin Tian did not continue to flip through the book, because Lin Tian knew that even if he continued to flip through the book, he would not be able to find the method of making gunpowder.

Because if there is a record in the book, why didn’t anyone make it in this dynasty?

Lin Tian carefully recalled the memory of his previous life again, checking whether he remembered it wrong. If it was a problem between the formula ratio, it might really exist.

But Lin Tian clearly remembered the method of making gunpowder in his memory, which was to use saltpeter and sulfur as the main materials, and then use charcoal and other wood ash as auxiliary materials.

Then let the three mix together as much as possible, so that gunpowder can be produced. Because if these three are put together, no matter what ratio, they will produce different explosion effects.

Finally, Lin Tian finally reacted. There was nothing wrong with the steps in the game, but there was a very important step missing, which was to fully integrate the three elements. It was only this step that Lin Tian did not do well. Since

Lin Tian had found the problem, he wanted to integrate the three elements, but sulfur was a solid crystal, saltpeter was a powdered crystal, and charcoal was also a hard object.

If they wanted to fully integrate, they had to be turned into powder or water-soluble.

Only in this way could the three elements be fully integrated.

To be on the safe side, Lin Tian first melted all three materials into water, but charcoal could not be dissolved in water at all, so Lin Tian gave up this step of the experiment. Then Lin Tian began to experiment to turn them all into powder. Lin Tian first found

a wooden stick like a rolling pin, but the hard sulfur did not turn into powder under the wooden stick. Instead, the wooden stick turned into a bumpy wooden stick.

As a last resort, Lin Tian could only take two stones and put the sulfur underneath for rolling and rubbing, but when Lin Tian added saltpeter powder and charcoal, an explosion occurred as soon as they were rubbed.

This time the explosion was louder than before, and Lin Tian didn’t have time to dodge, so he was covered in dust.

But what excited Lin Tian was that this time the explosion was louder than before, and it happened when he just started to crush.

Lin Tian couldn’t help but think that the direction of his research was still correct, and there was indeed a problem between the fusion of the three main materials.

At this time, Chen Huifang, who was in her room, heard the loud noise and hurried to Lin Tian’s door and knocked on the door.

After hearing the knock on the door, Lin Tian could only suppress his excitement, put down the stone in his hand, and then came to the door and opened the door of the room.

“Brother Lin…what’s wrong with you?”

Chen Huifang just called Lin Tian, and then saw Lin Tian’s appearance at this time, and couldn’t help but smile at Lin Tian and asked. What Lin Tian didn’t know was that Chen Huifang was relieved when she saw that Lin Tian was fine.

“Nothing, I was just doing some experiments, and something went wrong.”

After hearing Chen Huifang’s question, Lin Tian explained to Chen Huifang, but Lin Tian didn’t know that he had become so dirty at this time.

“What kind of experiment is it that made you so embarrassed?”

Chen Huifang saw Lin Tian’s appearance, and then heard Lin Tian’s explanation, so she took out the handkerchief she had returned and helped Lin Tian wipe his face.

At this time Lin Tian realized that there might be something on his face, so he quickly took the handkerchief from Chen Huifang and wanted to wipe it clean himself. At the same time, Lin Tian said to Chen Huifang:

“I don’t have anything to do here, you should go back to your room first, I still need to do some experiments.”

Chen Huifang saw Lin Tian take the handkerchief from her hand, then took a step back, heard what Lin Tian said, and nodded to Lin Tian: “Yeah.”

After Lin Tian sent Chen Huifang away, he returned to his laboratory table again, ready to try again.
