Daqin: White porridge and pickled mustard tuber, I became the national teacher

Chapter 189 The research on gunpowder was entrusted to Ying Yinman.

Qi Pan looked at Wang Jian, Nineteen, and the large group of soldiers.

There was a look of worry in his eyes.

I don’t know how many soldiers will be able to return safely this time.

Every time a war breaks out, tens of thousands of people die on the battlefield.

How can we reduce the death rate in war to the greatest extent possible?

Are there any of the things she brought that can further improve the soldiers' fighting effectiveness?

gunpowder?

pistol?

She won't.

There is no information on this either.

She did remember the formula for gunpowder.

One nitre, two sulphur and three charcoal.

But how much saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal should be added?

What is the ratio between them?

She doesn't even know.

How to do this?

How can I match them?

And how long does it take to prepare these?

She wouldn't have waited until Zheng Ge unified the six kingdoms before she found her match, right?

"drive!"

Wang Jian, Shijiu and other generals slowly walked away.

Until their figures completely disappeared.

Qi Pan and Ying Zheng then withdrew their gazes.

Ying Zheng: "Sir, let's go back too."

Qipan: “Okay.”

After nodding, she followed Ying Zheng back in silence.

Fusu and Ying Yinman also came, and when they saw the two of them walking back, they followed them.

The ministers followed slowly behind.

After returning to the palace.

Qi Pan told Ying Zheng about the gunpowder.

Ying Zheng: "The Imperial Master doesn't know how to make gunpowder, either?"

Qi Pan shook his head: "I don't know."

"This gunpowder is strictly controlled in our country."

"I only know some of the general materials used, but I'm not very clear about the rest."

Ying Zheng: "Okay, no problem, I will order someone to research and produce this."

"How lethal is this gunpowder?"

Qi Pan: "A certain amount of explosives can blow down a city wall."

what?

Can a pack of dynamite blow down a city wall?

The destructive power is so wide?

Ying Zheng: "What if we throw ourselves into the enemy's army?"

Qi Pan: "More than half of them were killed or injured."

"If it's a crowded place, throwing a bomb over there can blow up a large area."

"Those injured by the bombs were lucky enough to just lose some arms and legs."

"For those who are a little less lucky and happen to be at the center of the explosion, it is normal for them to be blown into blood foam in an instant."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng was horrified.

Ying Zheng: "No wonder the people in your world strictly control this thing."

"The lethality is too great. If it is not strictly controlled, it will inevitably cause unrest and panic."

Qi Pan: "Yes, and pistols too, they have a wide range of lethality."

"But handguns are only strictly controlled in our country."

"Other countries have too lax controls, and many ordinary people will have guns in their hands."

"If you're not careful when walking down the street, you could get shot in the head."

Ying Zheng: "The country of the national teacher is still the best."

"This type of weapon of mass destruction is only suitable to be controlled by the state and the military."

"If ordinary people also possessed it, it would be too easy to start a war."

Qi Pan fully agreed with Ying Zheng's words.

If in her country, everyone also has a pistol.

Does that mean if you just don't like someone, you can just pick up a gun and blow his head off if you don't agree with him?

Thinking of that scene, Qi Pan felt terrified.

She loves peace.

I just want to live in peace and health with my family until old age.

She didn't like the life of living in the sound of gunfire all the time.

Qi Pan: "Brother Zheng hopes that after you develop the gunpowder, you will also strictly control it."

"Once this thing falls into the hands of others, it will be extremely dangerous to both the people and us."

Ying Zheng: "Don't worry, sir. I will take care of this matter."

"Don't let any gunpowder fall into the hands of outsiders."

"We will not let any information about the production of gunpowder leak out."

Qi Pan: "Okay, I believe you, brother."

After Qi Pan left, Ying Zheng was thinking.

Who should be entrusted with this task so that he can feel at ease?

This person cannot be a minister in the court.

You also cannot get too close to the ministers in the court.

It's best to be unobtrusive.

Someone who will not arouse suspicion or association.

You must also be absolutely loyal to him and to the Qin Dynasty.

I will never betray him or the Qin Dynasty.

We must also care about the people.

I won't use this gunpowder to do anything on my own.

Who is this person...?

Who is suitable?

Xia Lin walked in from outside: "Your Majesty, the princess wants to see you."

Ok?

Yin Man?

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up!

Got it!

"Invite her in."

Xia Lin: “Yes.”

After Xia Lin went out, Ying Yinman came in soon.

"Father."

Ying Zheng: "You came at the right time. I have something for you to do."

"This matter is of great importance. You must not leak it out at all."

"Don't even tell your mother a word."

what?

Father has something for her to do?

It’s so serious that she is not allowed to disclose it?

Not even a word about your mother?

Seeing Ying Zheng's serious expression, Ying Yinman quickly responded solemnly.

"Father, what is it?"

"Don't worry, I will keep this secret and will never reveal a word to anyone."

Ying Zheng: "What I am going to give you is gunpowder, a weapon with extremely wide-ranging lethality."

gunpowder?

Ying Yinman: "Father, do we have gunpowder?"

Why didn't you hear the wind?

Also, I haven't seen anyone using it in the military.

Ying Zheng: "Not yet, only some information about the production of gunpowder."

“The methods for developing gunpowder are not complete either.”

Ying Zheng took a piece of paper and a pen, lowered his head and wrote a prescription, then handed it to Ying Yinman.

Ying Yinman took it and looked down.

"One sulfur, two nitrates, three charcoals? And......"

"Father, is this also given to you by the Imperial Master?"

Ying Zheng: "Not bad."

"It is what the Imperial Master just gave me."

"She just left and you came."

"After much thought, I think you are the most suitable person to do this."

Ying Yinman: "Me?"

"Father, you want to let me be responsible for the research and production of gunpowder?!"

Ying Yinman was somewhat incredulous.

Ying Zheng: "Yes, it's you."

Ying Yinman: "What about big brother......?"

Ying Zheng: "Don't worry about him."

"Only you, me and the Imperial Master know about this. He won't know."

"Even if he knew, he wouldn't dare to say anything, let alone disobey."

"As long as I'm here, what are you afraid of?"

Looking at the seriousness in Ying Zheng's eyes, it didn't seem fake, nor was it a joke.

Ying Yinman immediately said seriously.

"Okay, as long as my father is here, I am not afraid!"

"Leave this matter to me. I will definitely give Father a satisfactory answer!"

"I will never let my father down!"
