Chapter 36 The stars support the moon
As for the proportion and formula of gunpowder, it is probably posted on the crossroads, and everyone knows it. After all, I learned about it in primary school textbooks: mononitrate, disulfide, and charcoal.
The principle is also very simple. The energy and gas generated by violent combustion cannot be dispersed quickly, and the volume expands in a limited space, causing pressure to form an explosion.
But Xu Fang naturally couldn't explain it with such non-magical science, and he could easily be crushed to death by a few excited bosses.
"I am the son of a military mage. When my parents died, I could do nothing but watch their lives pass by."
Xu Fang first used two parents who worshiped heaven to seize the high ground of public opinion.
Sure enough, the expressions of Fei Jiao and Zhan Kong softened immediately.
Especially Zhan Kong, he remembered that year, when he lost his lover and was driven to a small southern town like a mangy wild dog.
If it weren't for the support and encouragement from his subordinates, including Xu Fang's parents, he would probably still be decadent and wasted.
"It takes several years and a lot of resources to train a qualified junior mage. But the demon can easily kill several mages of the same level in just a few months, or even a few weeks!"
"This imbalance has caused us to suffer a lot in the long-term tug of war."
"Although elemental species and magic tools can close these gaps, they are too expensive. Especially for ordinary magic tools, blacksmiths don't bother to make them, and ordinary mages can't afford them."
Yi Ping, who was standing nearby, rubbed his nose in embarrassment. He was the type who specialized in high-quality routes.
"At that time, I thought, is there a cheap and easy-to-use magic tool to fill this gap?"
Xu Fang felt that the atmosphere was almost brewing, and his voice gradually became louder.
"Now there is!"
"I got inspiration from Fire Explosion. When Fire Explosion is released, the fire element around the skill will be extracted to form a blank area. The magic energy can only be compressed in the area. When it reaches the critical point, it explodes instantly. cause some damages."
"And I first reinforced the shell of the iron corpse with a solid magic circle to simulate the restraint of the blank area. The decomposition and burning magic circle engraved inside can release the energy of the magic stone to the greatest extent."
"Success in one fell swoop!"
"I named it 'bomb', that is, a one-time fire and explosion!"
His eyes were firm, his voice was sonorous, he was concerned about the country and the people, and he was full of enthusiasm. Everyone listened as if they were drinking fine wine.
"good!"
Zhan Kong was the first to applaud: "As expected of someone from our Southern Military Headquarters, he really has two brushes!"
Feijiao was smiling at first, but he couldn't hold back after hearing this: "Southern Military Department? Xu Fang is now from the Central Military Department!"
Zhan Kong scolded: "Nonsense, when did he, a student, join the Central Military Commission?"
"He is a sophomore in high school this year. All the sophomores in the ancient capital are affiliated with the Central Military Department!" Fei Jiao said unreasonably, "This is what you entrusted to me. You want to change your mind?"
"You still have the nerve to say that? You don't even answer the phone, and you let him live on the street. He is just a child!"
Although everyone was shameless, Zhan Kong was obviously better. The unshaven man could actually squeeze out two tears, looking so distressed that he couldn't breathe.
If Zhankong hadn't called him for so many days, Xu Fang would have believed him.
"Little brother, little brother!"
Shi Zheng pulled Xu Fang over with a smile on his face: "You have awakened elemental magic, right? What a coincidence, I have also awakened elemental magic. We might have been the same family five hundred years ago!"
He lowered his voice and said, "Don't listen to these two people talking nonsense. How much money does it cost to be a top soldier? In this way, I will introduce you to President Han Ji and ensure that you soar into the sky."
"Superficial! Vulgar!"
Zhan Kong has a good ear, pointed at Shi Zheng and cursed: "You only know how to make money, is being a mage just for money?"
"Money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money." Shi Zheng snorted coldly: "I can give my little brother a piece of magic armor as a lab coat now, can you do that?"
Zhan Kong was speechless for a moment.
He is a poor man, let alone armor and magic equipment. Let him get the cheapest shield magic equipment, which is like cutting his flesh.
But if you lose, you don't lose. If there is no reason, you will mess around: "I won't tell you, I will report it directly to the leader of our Chinese army and let him tell you!"
"Me too, I want to report it to our General Jiang!" Fei Jiao said from the side.
It was Shi Zheng's turn to curse.
Are these two shameless Qiu Ba playing this trick with me?
"You two come with me." He dragged Zhan Kong and Fei Jiao away, leaving Xu Fang and Yi Ping staring at each other.
Xu Fang said: "Master Yi..."
"No, no, no, just call me Xiao Yi." Yi Ping waved his hands quickly.
"...I'll call you Lao Yi. How is the repair of my magic equipment?"
"Tomorrow! I'll deliver it to you before lunch!" Yi Ping smiled like a chrysanthemum: "This is my number. From now on, you can just call me if you want to repair or buy magic tools. It's just a matter of words!"
Although Xu Fang is only seventeen years old.
Although Xu Fang is only a sophomore in high school.
But no matter how blind you are, you can see that this student is going to skyrocket.
Even if he does nothing for the rest of his life, his contribution to the bomb alone will be remembered in the history of magic!
The two chatted for a while, and Zhan Kong and the other two came back.
Before leaving, they were blowing their beards and staring, almost starting a fight. When they came back, they hugged each other's shoulders and said hello. I don't know what kind of PY deal they had reached.
Xu Fang despised these three old glasses from the bottom of his heart.
"Brother, you can stay here with peace of mind. Remember to report to the Southern Military Headquarters after the college entrance examination." Zhan Kong patted Xu Fang's shoulder affectionately.
Feijiao slapped his hand away: "We'll talk about the future later. Come on, come on, let me tell you about military training..."
"What's there to say about military training? Little brother, try this armor to see if it fits you?"
Shi Zheng smiled and took out a magic armor tool, its bright silver luster was charming.
Xu Fang was praised by all the stars here, while Yi Ping became a miserable tool man. He jingled his tools and did the work that only an intern could do, replicating a lot of bombs.
Zhan Kong and the three of them each took several samples and left in a hurry before dawn.
······
The next few days were uneventful.
The three bosses, as well as the bigger boss behind them, reached an agreement, and out of concern for Xu Fang's safety, the news of the bomb's invention was suppressed.
There is no need to make it public at this stage, and we will wait until the right opportunity to announce it.
Bombs also need to be actually tested to find a suitable range between power, cost and mass production speed. The emergence of new things must go through this process.
Everyone with knowledge of the matter, including Yi Ping, two judges, one old and one young, and even the bearded man who made trouble that day, were invited to the trial for tea.
Sun Ruizhi was also among those drinking tea, although he was completely confused about the explosion that day.
Just after he came out of the trial, his father, Sun Erhe, called and said that Master Yi Ping was willing to provide a few more forging places to his Sun family's second roommate, and asked him if he knew what happened.
Brother Ruizhi, with such a wise brain, immediately analyzed the reason - Xu Fang was a hidden dragon crossing the river. In order to help himself vent his anger, he did not hesitate to reveal his identity to put pressure on Yi Ping.
So generous!
Sun Ruizhi filled his eyes with tears because of his thoughts. He didn't expect that Xu Fang would secretly do this for him.
However, I should not judge a gentleman's belly with caution.
He was completely impressed by Xu Fang's high moral integrity and willing to be his little brother, never saying anything in front of him or behind the horse.
Although Xu Fang didn't know what was going on in this kid's head, he was happy to see the success of taking in his little brother.
Mo Fan has Zhang Xiaohou, and Mu Bai has Zhao Kunsan. Although brother Ruizhi has an amazing brain,... what kind of brain do I want?
