Chapter 1076: Success in the East and Success in the West (Sixty-Nine)

It was late at night, and the moonlight was like water, pouring in from the gaps in the roof, windows, and doors. There was no light in the house, but under the soft moonlight, it was covered with a layer of faint white light. Gao Yuan sat quietly at the table in front of the window. , he is waiting.

I don't know how much time had passed, but Cao Tianci appeared at the door. Looking at the unlit room, he was slightly startled, then walked in quietly, struck a flint, and lit the oil lamp on the table.

"Is everything done?"

Cao Tianci nodded: "It's all done."

"That Kazuma?"

"Dead." After a slight pause, Cao Tianci said.

There was a loud sound on the table, which was Gao Yuan's hand on the table knocking heavily on the table unconsciously. Under the light, Cao Tianci saw the muscles on Gao Yuan's face twitch slightly.

"Tell me the specific situation!" Gao Yuan sighed inaudibly, "Oh, wait a minute, Wei Yuan!"

He Weiyuan appeared at the door like a ghost.

"Go find Qingyuan. There are some professional things that we don't understand very well." Gao Yuan raised his chin.

"yes!"

"Say it!" Gao Yuan turned to look at Cao Tianci.

"In the past two years, Taoist priests like Qingyuan have indeed been serious and have developed many gunpowder formulas and types, but they are still far from what the king requested. 6 When the king came over today, Qingyuan We are developing a new formula, and upon hearing the news of Your Majesty’s arrival, Qingyuan handed over some of the ingredients that we were preparing to Yizhen and asked him to continue finishing it while he came to pick up His Majesty.”

"But Qingyuan himself said that the formula he made has been tested before, and it is not so powerful." Gao Yuan interrupted Cao Tianci's report.

"That's the problem. That Qingyuan has no habit of recording. Every time he has a new formula, he writes the proportion of the formula on the dirt table where he works. What Yizhen sees is just some vague information. Qing's handwriting, many important ratios were completely unclear, so Izhen made such a new formula based on some of his memories when he followed Qingyuan in experiments."

"It seems that what he created in a daze is exactly what we need!" Gao Yuan felt like vomiting blood.

"After Yizhen prepared the medicine according to his own recipe, he followed Qingyuan's previous practice and put a little bit on the back of the table for experiments to see if the power was improved. According to Yizhen's previous experience , this amount of explosion is slightly more powerful than a firecracker, but what he thought he would make this time is beyond his imagination." Cao Tianci said with a wry smile.

"With such great power, how come he wasn't killed on the spot?" He took a piece of paper from Cao Tianci and asked Cao Tianci curiously while looking at the things on it. Gao Yuan knew that in the Lincha Yuan There are many experienced disobedient operators and torture experts who can identify many things that ordinary people cannot see.

"Speaking of which, I'm afraid this is also my big man's blessing!" Cao Tianci showed a happy smile on his face, "The power of the small amount of gunpowder explosion knocked Yizhen in front of him unconscious at once, and behind the stage The legs of the table were also blown off, but the tabletop accidentally fell on Yizhen, blocking the next powerful explosion for him."

"Has this small explosion of gunpowder exploded the other new medicines that Yizhen had just prepared?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Not only these, the things in Qingyuan's room are basically flammable and explosive things. The most serious thing about Yizhen was actually burns." Cao Tianci said.

Looking at the paper in his hand, Gao Yuan asked: "Is this Yizhen's final formula?"

"Yes." Cao Tianci nodded.

"Your Majesty, Taoist Priest Qingyuan is here!" He Weiyuan stood at the door. Behind him, stood a man with a stooped waist. It had only been a long time since he had disappeared. The Taoist priest seemed to be several years older. This was mainly because he was scared. The king came up to him. During the inspection here, he made such a big mistake here. Fortunately, the king was not here at the time, otherwise if the king lost a hair, he would have to be chopped into pieces.

Standing in front of Gao Yuan tremblingly, using the light of the oil lamp, he looked at the paper handed to him by Gao Yuan. After only a few glances, Qingyuan almost jumped up: "This, this is not the new formula I just came up with." What?"

"Take a closer look, what's the difference with yours?" Gao Yuan reminded.

Qingyuan calmed down and looked at it carefully again: "Here, the quantities at the back are completely inconsistent. There are only a few items that match the numbers. Also, why are there some things added here?"

"What did you add?" Gao Yuan asked.

"I added some oils that I extracted from some plants and special stones. These oils can also explode..." As he spoke, Qingyuan's mouth suddenly opened into an O shape, and his whole body froze. Where is it?" Yi Zhen made it according to this recipe. So, his recipe is what you need, the king. According to his recipe, the gunpowder you mentioned has great power. Already."

Gao Yuan nodded, "That's right. The handwriting you wrote on the table was blurred. Once he couldn't see clearly, he guessed that he had gotten such a copy. He never expected that the method he casually estimated would Son, it is so powerful that even I got something out, but I was also killed."

It was like a basin of cold water being poured over my head, "Your Majesty, Yi Zhen him, he..."

Gao Yuan nodded, "You guessed it right. Yizhen was seriously injured. Just now Tianci came over to say that Yizhen came back to his senses and only had time to repeat the recipe before he passed away."

Qingyuan was frozen there. Yizhen had been following him for many years, but he didn't expect that he would just leave like this. Qingyuan opened his mouth silently, and tears flowed from his eyes.

Gao Yuan stood up and patted his shoulder, "You are master and disciple, go and see him for the last time!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qingyuan bowed, turned around, and staggered out.

"Tianci, am I too cruel? Maybe, that one can really save a life!" Gao Yuan looked at Cao Tianci, "Seeing Qingyuan's look makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

"Your Majesty, there is nothing we can do about this. Ke Yuanshan said that he is only 20 to 30% sure. I'm afraid it's to spare His Majesty's heart. There is basically no possibility of saving such a serious injury. By doing this, he will suffer less. A lot of pain, and more importantly," Cao Tianci paused: "We got this gunpowder formula. Based on this formula, I think Qingyuan and the others will be able to develop what we need very soon. With it, on the battlefield, the Han army will be invincible, and how many Han athletes will die! In exchange for the lives of countless brave men in the future, I don’t know if Yizhen can save his life. This business It’s worth it!”

Gao Yuan did not nod or shake his head, but only smiled bitterly in his heart. In the eyes of himself and Tianci, this was indeed a good deal. Any superior person would make a choice without hesitation when faced with this situation, but The dead Kazuma wouldn't think so, would he?

One day later, deep in the valley, Qingyuan put the new medicine prepared according to Yizhen's recipe into a porcelain jar, and then placed the porcelain jar in a temporary wooden house, and a match rope came from Stretching out from the wooden house, a little further away, Gao Yuan stood with his hands behind his back. A dozen guards held huge shields in front of Gao Yuan, and even several shields were placed on Gao Yuan's head, just on his face. A small slit is exposed at the bottom, making it easier to watch the explosion in the distance.

"Start!" Cao Tianci nodded to a guard holding a torch.

As the torch lit the match rope, a line of fire extended towards the wooden house at lightning speed. The guard who lit the torch jumped forward and fell to the ground, picked up the shield he had placed earlier, and curled up tightly on the shield. under.

There was a loud noise, smoke rose everywhere, and the cabin was divided into countless wooden planks and scattered in all directions. Although they were hundreds of meters apart, everyone's ears were still buzzing from the shock.

The shield dispersed, and Gao Yuan looked at the cabin that no longer existed, with joy shining in his eyes.

The guards picked up the wooden boards piece by piece and placed them in front of Gao Yuan. Some of the wooden boards had been broken, and some had been broken into small pieces. On top of the whole wooden boards, large and small broken pieces of porcelain were deeply inserted into the wooden boards. among.

"It's amazing!" Cao Tianci exclaimed.

"The fire line is too blocky!" Gao Yuan turned to look at Qing Yuan, "I have to think about this too much. It would be best to let them burn slower. Also, the performance of this new type of gunpowder is stable and unstable, which is not conducive to storage." , under what conditions will it lose effectiveness, and a series of follow-up work, you have to continue to study it. When everything is ready, I will take a look again. If it can meet the many standards I listed for you before, then it can be finalized. .”

"Yes, I will definitely work hard and never let down the king's hope!" Qingyuan's voice was choked with sobs, "I won't let what Yizhen earned in exchange for his life be carried forward."

Mentioning Yizhen, Gao Yuan was silent for a moment, then turned around and said to He Weiyuan: "After we go back, we will go to the Ministry of War. From now on, this place will be called Yizhen Research Institute, specializing in the study of gunpowder ordnance technology. The security will be strengthened to another level and a battalion will be transferred." The Young Guards were stationed outside the Yizhen Research Institute, and the Internal Security Council was responsible for the internal security."

"clear!"

"Then the Ministry of Civil Affairs asked them to allocate money to erect a bronze statue of Yizhen here. If Wang Wu directly makes a noise, just say it was me. If he doesn't give the money, I will demolish his house and sell it. Materials for a standing statue of Isshin.”

"Understood."

"Qingyuan, I told you before that as long as you come up with what I need, I won't hesitate to grant you a title. This sentence is still valid. But now gunpowder is still my top secret, so you, the titleholder, can only keep it a secret now. We must wait until gunpowder officially appears on the battlefield before it can be made public."

"Your Majesty, this gunpowder was prepared by Yizhen. Please, Your Majesty, please grant Yizhen the honorary title. I don't want it." Qingyuan shook his head and said.

Gao Yuan glanced at Qingyuan in surprise. He didn't expect that Qingyuan still had such a heart, but he still shook his head, "Yizhen has passed away, and he has no family left alive. It doesn't make any sense whether to seal it or not." , and his bronze statue standing here is much better than conferring a title of Marquis." (To be continued.
