One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 242 Failed Experiment

After Qin Yi returned to Zhangzi County, he told Xi Zhicai about the process of his meeting with Yang Feng.After thinking about Qin Yi's plan, Xi Zhicai said to Qin Yi: "Master Guo, Mrs. Guo is very likely to be fooled by your plan. But the most important thing is that when he arrives at Limeng After Ze, how do you kill him?"

Qin Yi smiled and said: "Yang Feng is also very interested in this issue, but I did not tell him my specific arrangements for this link. I have nothing to hide from you, sir. My plan is to create a The ice collapsed, causing Mrs. Guo to fall into the water and die."

"Ice collapse?" Xi Zhicai was stunned for a moment, and then said: "In this season, the ice is three feet deep, how do you create an ice collapse?"

Qin Yi said: "It cannot be manufactured by manpower. There is an open land hundreds of miles away from Mengze, and there is no way to hide people. Therefore, I am going to borrow a tool to blast the ice."

"Blow up? What do you mean?" Xi Zhicai was dumbfounded.

Qin Yi said: "When I was outside the Great Wall, I learned to make explosives from my master. The explosives are so powerful that they can crack mountains and crack rocks."

"Dynamite? What's that?"

"Dynamite is... This is really hard to explain. When I make the real thing, sir will know it at a glance."

…………

The explosive that Qin Yi intends to make is black powder.When he was a soldier, he had learned the technology of making black powder.Not only did he use sulfur, charcoal, and nitrate to make black powder, but he also learned how to make Molotov cocktails with sand and sugar, and made explosives and incendiaries with some common cleaning products in life.

As soon as he said it, Qin Yi immediately ordered people to buy the raw materials needed to make black powder.After buying the things, he locked himself in the house and fiddled with black powder.

After working for a long time, he finally made an earth bomb out of clay pots.

Then, he took the bomb and pulled Xi Zhi out of the city.

At this time of year, it was freezing cold, and few people were seen outside the city.Qin Yi and Xi Zhicai were more than ten miles away from the city and came to a deserted slope.

Qin Yi took out the soil bomb and placed it on the ground.For a more intuitive effect, he also found some small stones to bury the soil bomb, leaving only a fuse outside.

Xi Zhicai watched Qin Yi busy at work and asked curiously: "County Lord, is this little clay pot the explosive you mentioned?"

Qin Yi said: "The clay pot contains explosives. I call this clay pot a bomb."

After the arrangement was completed, Qin Yi said to Xi Zhicai: "Sir, there will be loud noises in a while, so don't be surprised. Also, stand farther away to avoid being injured by the bomb."

Xi Zhicai was confused, but still followed Qin Yi's instructions and walked aside.

"Farther, step back fifty steps." Qin Yi shouted at Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai went further.Qin Yi shouted again: "Sir, cover your ears, I'm going to ignite the bomb."

Xi Zhicai covered his ears.

Qin Yi ignited the fuse with a torch, turned around and ran towards Xi Zhicai.

When he ran to Xi Zhicai's side, he turned around and looked at the bomb.

The fuse was very long, emitting black smoke and burning toward the soil bomb quickly.

Qin Yi and Xi Zhicai both stared at the bomb with their eyes widened.

Wide open, the fuse burned out.Just when Qin Yi thought that the soil bomb would go off immediately, a string of sparks shot out from the opening of the pot.

"Tsk—" The spark turned into a beam of light, which shot out more than a foot high, and emitted black smoke.

Fuck, failed!

Qin Yi was disappointed.

The beam of light continued to spray, but Xi Zhicai's eyes widened, surprised and curious at the same time.

After 30 seconds, the cupping can stopped spitting.

Xi Zhicai let go of his ears covering his hands, and asked Qin Yi curiously: "Xianzun, how did you do it? What is in that clay pot that can emit flames that have never been seen before?"

Qin Yi smiled wryly and said: "What's the use of being able to breathe fire, it didn't explode!"

Xi Zhicai also came to his senses, and said, "That's right, just being able to breathe fire can't create ice collapses. Do we have to burn the ice? How many pots like this do we need!"

Qin Yi shook his head and said: "Sir, I failed. This is not the bomb I wanted, there must be something wrong in some link."

"So it's not a bomb!"

Qin Yi said: "Let's go back, after I make a real bomb, we will come here to test again."

………………

After returning to the county government office, Qin Yi still locked himself in the room, recalling the whole process of making earth bombs, trying to find out the reason for the failure.

There is no problem with the ratio of raw materials, that ratio is the best ratio, and I will definitely not remember it wrong; the production of soil bombs is no problem, and the gunpowder is all hammered by me with a wooden hammer; ignite.But where is the problem?
Just as Qin Yi was thinking hard, he suddenly felt a numbness in his left hand.He quickly raised his left hand to his ear and connected the intercom.

"Qin Yi, are you thinking about the reason why the black powder production failed?" Liu Ruoyin's voice came from his mind.

"Yeah, I have made black powder several times before, and there were no problems."

"Qin Yi, I think it's probably a problem with the raw materials." Liu Ruoyin said.

Qin Yi was startled: "Raw materials? Isn't it just sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter? What's the problem with this?"

Liu Ruoyin said: "The problem probably lies in the purity of the raw materials. Think about it, the materials you used to prepare black gunpowder were all industrial products, with a purity of at least 90.00%. And what you are using now must be It has not been purified.”

"That's right! Why didn't I think of that!" Qin Yi suddenly realized, "Charcoal doesn't need to be purified, just use the best charcoal, but the sulfur and saltpeter are very rough. Ruoyin, how to purify ? I won't."

Liu Ruoyin said: "If you don't know how, you can ask me for advice."

"You can?"

"Ahem, as a double master's degree in science from the future, this matter is trivial to me."

"Then tell me quickly, how to purify sulfur and saltpeter?" Qin Yi asked quickly.

Liu Ruoyin said: "The steps are very complicated. Please record them. I will only say them once."

"Okay, okay, wait a moment."

Qin Yi immediately found a pen and paper.Then, Liu Ruoyin dictated and he took notes.

"The purification of sulfur is to gasify the sulfur first, then cool and condense it. The equipment needed is a distiller. The method of making the distiller is..."

After Liu Ruoyin finished talking about the making method of the still, Qin Yi thought for a while and said, "This thing seems to be the device used to distill liquor in later generations."

"You are right. This kind of still can indeed be used to steam wine. However, to purify sulfur, you need to control the heat. The fire cannot be too fast, otherwise, the sulfur will burn directly."

"I remember."

"Purification of saltpeter is a bit troublesome. The method is..." Liu Ruoyin continued to introduce the method of purification of saltpeter. After speaking, she added: "By the way, this method can be used to purify table salt."

"Can you also purify table salt?" Qin Yi was overjoyed.

"Yes, this is a crystallization method, which is the same as the original purification method of table salt." Liu Ruoyin said.

"Then I have to remember. Didn't you say that there are many salt ponds in Bingzhou? In the future, I can sell salt for profit."
