When Lu Lingjun heard the news from Dongsheng that Cheng Yunshuo had cordoned off the suburbs, he immediately became energetic.
"What was found?"
"Nothing at all."
"Huh?" Lu Lingjun was confused.
"Young madam, my brother said that the prince and the others surrounded the area and searched it. After a while, they found a bunch of black lumps. The person in charge said those were firecrackers. The prince didn't believe it and asked them to light them. Guess what?"
"You're trying to trick me, tell me quickly." Lu Lingjun poked Xia Mei's little head.
Xia Mei chuckled, "My brother said, those black lumps of theirs pop and pop, just like scattered firecrackers. There are only a few smoke left!"
Lu Lingjun: "..."
"I don't know what those people were doing. They were mysterious every day, and in the end they produced a bunch of things that weren't even firecrackers." Xia Mei burst out laughing.
Lu Lingjun looked at her smile and laughed.
She always judged people accurately, and Xing Dairong, who could only thunder but not rain, really did not disappoint her.
She said she was shallow, but she really didn't mean to flatter her. There should be something new in that girl's belly, but it was definitely only the top layer of skin, and she had never delved deeper into it.
"This is the magic weapon you gave me to make me famous!"
In the Luo Family Courtyard, a black lump was thrown in front of Xing Dairong.
Xing Dairong, who was drinking afternoon tea in the yard, was stunned for a moment, and soon she thought, "Have you made the explosives?"
"Ha! You also have explosives, who can you blow up!" Luo Heng looked at Xing Dairong's unconscious face, "I really believe that you will believe what a woman like you says!"
"Impossible!" Xing Dairong stood up and said with great certainty, "Did you make it according to my recipe?"
Luo Heng sneered, "Sulfur, dinitrate, and charcoal, right!"
"That's right!"
Xing Dairong was extremely determined, and she definitely recited the words monosulfur, dinitrate, and charcoal correctly.
This is the best recipe for gunpowder! Everyone who has taken junior high school chemistry knows this!
Seeing Xing Dairong still looking so determined and serious, Luo Heng felt that it wasn't that Xing Dairong was an idiot, but that he was an idiot!
How could he be like that fool Cheng Yunshuo and believe in the words of a woman like Xing Dairong who talks nonsense!
Because of her words, he smuggled her out and was tricked into getting this explosive. Now he is as ridiculous as a joke!
Xing Dairong looked at Luo Heng, who was breathing rapidly and looking fooled across from him. She picked up the iron lump again and said seriously, "As long as you follow my ratio, there is absolutely no way you can go wrong!"
"Then try it yourself!" Luo Heng took out a fire certificate and gave it to her.
Xing Dairong, who did not believe in evil, saw the fire break, opened the first connector, lit the fuse, and then threw the iron lump away, "Hurry up and hide!"
"Ha! Hide?" Luo Heng grabbed Xing Dairong who was about to hide in the room and asked her to watch on the spot.
"What are you doing? It's very dangerous."
"You just lit a cigarette without even making a sound. Where are you hiding?"
As Luo Heng finished speaking, the ignited iron lump made a roaring sound, and a large amount of thick smoke came out of it, but there was no loud explosion sound in the thick smoke as Xing Dairong expected.
Xing Dairong stared in disbelief at the bomb that was filled with thick smoke and only made the crackling, popping, popping, popping sound of small firecrackers exploding before quickly dying out. Her eyes widened.
"how so?"
"You still have the nerve to ask how could this happen?" Luo Heng was furious, "We just followed your formula and your ratio of monosulfide, dinitrate, and charcoal. In order to make the ratio precise, I asked them to repeat each ingredient. Weighed it dozens of times to make it!”
When Xing Dairong heard this, he looked at the burned gunpowder blankly and became even more puzzled, "It's impossible, it's impossible, it's clearly written like this in the book, I won't remember it wrong, this is obviously the formula of gunpowder .”
Xing Dairong did not make a mistake.
However, she memorized chemical formulas!
Monosulfur, dinitrate, and charcoal are the molecular chemical formula of gunpowder, (S+2KNO3+3C=K₂S+N₂↑+3CO₂↑). The actual gunpowder formula must be recalculated based on the molecular mass in the molecular formula, that is, the real gunpowder ratio. It is about 75%25 potassium nitrate, about 10%25 sulfur, and about 15%25 carbon.
Since the development of gunpowder, the ratio of gunpowder has been revised, and the formula has been changed for countless generations. In the ancient Ming Dynasty, before the chemical molecular formula was developed, the best ratio was already formulated in ancient times. Black powder in proportions close to the chemical formula.
However, even if Xing Dairong memorized the black powder formula, it was still not the best formula for gunpowder. Europe later discovered that nitrate was the main component of gunpowder explosions. They adjusted the proportion of nitrate to 78%25 or even higher to create an explosion. More powerful explosives.
Of course, Xing Dairong really doesn't know all this.
She didn't know how she could create gunpowder if she only memorized chemical formulas and ignored a lot of practical details.
She had something in her mind, but it was just on paper. In practice, it was more imaginative than her original idea of making money from a buffet.
She was shocked to see what she had made with full confidence. She still couldn't believe it. She tried her best to find a reason, "Is it because your saltpeter is not purified? There are too many sulfur impurities? There is not enough charcoal?"
With a sound of "Pa!", a slap fell on Xing Dairong's face.
Xing Dairong, who doubted his life, was gradually brought back to reality.
"You're still acting for me!"
"Luo Heng!" Xing Dairong was not angry after being beaten. Instead, he tightened his grip on Luo Heng more panicked and said with a begging look, "Try again, I really didn't lie to you! Try it again!"
Human beings are indeed strange creatures.
She would never be like this in front of Cheng Yunshuo. Even if she went bankrupt in the buffet and threw water on him, she could still lose her temper with Cheng Yunshuo at will, thinking that he should comfort her as she should.
But now in front of Luo Heng, he wanted to be as humble as possible, for fear that he would no longer give her a chance.
"Do you think I will still believe you?!" Luo Heng threw Xing Dairong away.
After all the things he had encountered since he brought her back, including his breakup with Cheng Yunshuo, the destruction of his interpersonal relationships, being blamed by his parents, and a lot of secret ridicule, he felt like a fool who had been deceived by Xing Dairong.
For her sake, he boasted a lot to his parents. His mother looked at him strangely more than once, told him how much Xing Dairong had embarrassed the Luo family, and mocked him for believing him because he was blind and confused. Now, it's all true.
The truth slapped him in the face. Luo Heng was so angry that he no longer pretended to be a gentle man and exposed his cruel nature. He looked at Xing Dairong, who was still stubborn and didn't believe that he told him to try again. He picked up the plate tray on the table. Hit her hard.
