Chapter 190 The first gunpowder test.
Ying Zheng: "Okay, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask the Imperial Master."
Ying Yinman: "Okay, thank you, father."
Afterwards, Ying Zheng and Ying Yinman discussed the matter in detail for a while.
Some people were assigned to her and a place was provided for her to use for research and experiments.
After leaving Ying Zheng, Ying Yinman went straight to find Qi Pan.
She told Qi Pan that Ying Zheng had entrusted her with the research and production of gunpowder.
Then he asked, "Master, if there is anything I don't understand, can I ask you?"
Qi Pan: "Sure, you can ask me anytime."
"When you develop it and test the blasting, remember to call me. I'll go with you."
"It just so happens that I haven't seen the scene of the gunpowder explosion with my own eyes."
Ying Yinman: "Okay, don't worry, Master. I will definitely call you."
After that, the two chatted for a while about gunpowder.
After Ying Yinman returned, she immediately began to study the production of gunpowder.
She took the people assigned to her by Ying Zheng and went secretly to the research base.
..........
Fusu has been feeling bored and dull lately.
In addition to following his father every day, he also learned how to handle state affairs.
Just study his lessons and complete the assignments given to him by his father.
After he finished his homework that day, he went to Qi Pan's palace to look for her but found her empty-handed again.
Fusu asked Xiao Fugui who was standing beside him in confusion.
"Where did the Imperial Master go? Hasn't he come back yet?"
Xiao Fugui: "My Lord, I don't know."
"The Imperial Master did not tell me before he left."
"You didn't tell me when you'll be back."
Fusu: "Okay, got it."
Turn around and walk out of the palace.
Fusu still felt strange.
Why is it that every time I come to see the Imperial Master, he is not there?
Where have you been?
Why don't you take him with you?
And my little sister.
How come there is no sign of him day after day?
It's so weird.
These two people started playing together and disappeared day by day.
Not even mentioning taking him along, the three of them can play together.
Turning around, Fusu returned to the hall.
Continue to bury your head on the table.
And the ones Fusu was thinking about were Qi Pan and Ying Yinman.
The two were in a secluded valley.
There are not many people in the valley, and each of them is very skilled and has extremely high combat power.
The rest are craftsmen who are specifically responsible for studying the proportion of gunpowder.
Qi Pan and Ying Yinman were standing in a relatively open place.
Behind them stood a group of craftsmen.
Ying Yinman looked at the two Black Ice Guards who were placing gunpowder in the distance.
Ying Yinman: "Master, do you think this time...will it be successful?"
"Can the gunpowder really explode?"
Pray: "Of course I can."
"It doesn't matter if we can't blow it up. Let's learn from our experience and continue researching."
"Take it off once, and it will explode."
Ying Yinman: "Okay, I hope it will be successful this time."
Qi Pan, Ying Yinman, and the craftsmen stared intently at the gunpowder that had been installed in the distance.
By the time the Black Ice Guards quickly retreated, the fuse of the gunpowder had already been ignited.
Sparks were sizzling.
Everyone was very nervous.
It's been a month.
Since they arrived here, they have been working non-stop on research, production and experimental research.
The ratio of gunpowder has been constantly changing.
Just try to find the most suitable ratio formula.
This was their 59th ignition test.
I just hope it can explode successfully this time.
Show them the explosive power of gunpowder!
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the fuse of the gunpowder had already burned to the end.
The tightly wrapped gunpowder bag was emitting black smoke.
Sudden.
There was a loud "Bang!"
The gunpowder bag exploded!
Everyone subconsciously covered their ears and squatted down with their heads in their hands!
When the smoke cleared, Qi Pan waved away the dust in front of his eyes.
“Ahem…it exploded this time.”
Ying Yinman stood up from the ground with an excited look on her face.
"Great! We succeeded!"
“It finally exploded this time!”
"We have finally succeeded in developing gunpowder!"
Hearing this, the craftsmen also became happy.
"Great, it finally worked."
"It's worth our hard work and many nights."
"This gunpowder finally succeeded."
"We can go back and report to His Majesty."
But when Qi Pan walked to the place where the gunpowder exploded to check, her words cooled everyone's mood.
Qi Pan: "It's too early to be happy. This gunpowder didn't work at all."
Craftsmen: "Ah? Failed?"
"But didn't the gunpowder explode? Why didn't it work?"
"Yeah, this has exploded, how can it not be a success?"
"If we fail again, will all our efforts these days be in vain?"
Ying Yinman: "What are you doing?"
"Are you the only ones who are anxious? Isn't the Imperial Master anxious too?"
"This princess and the imperial teacher have seen your efforts these days."
"You guys worked hard all night to adjust the ratio of gunpowder, but are you and the Imperial Master going to enjoy it?"
The craftsmen said: "Your Highness, Imperial Master, this is not what we meant."
"We just, just.....had a grumble."
They stayed in this valley for more than a month.
Studying gunpowder day and night.
Every day, I am surrounded by gunpowder, mixture, sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal powder.
They've been researching it so much that they're almost sick of it.
Every time, people held great expectations and hoped that gunpowder could be successfully developed.
I look forward to going home early and having a good and peaceful sleep.
But repeated disappointments made them slowly accumulate resentment.
There is even a sense of disappointment in my expectations.
They had all heard that the national teacher had great powers and had all kinds of prescriptions at his disposal.
Just pick out any recipe at random.
One study leads to another.
The prayers are blown to the sky and nowhere to be found on earth.
Put it on the altar.
But when they came into contact, they found that it was not the case at all.
This Imperial Master is also a human being, even worse than a human being.
Look at the gunpowder recipe she took out this time.
That can't be considered a prescription at all.
It's just a conjecture.
Fantastic idea.
What could be so powerful that it could collapse a mountain?
This gunpowder is just to scare them!
Although the craftsmen were dissatisfied, they did not dare to show it too obviously.
Just stood there and said nothing.
Either look down at the ground or look up at the sky.
Qi Pan didn't pay any attention to them, he just squatted where the gunpowder exploded.
There was some black on the ground, and some powder was scattered.
The ground is generally intact.
Not to mention the pits, even the grass was not damaged.
The explosion just now was just a noise and actually had no effect at all.
Qi Pan: "The gunpowder ratio needs to be adjusted this time."
