Rich and powerful

Chapter 16: The Power of Black Powder

Lin Yun nodded, waved his hand and said, "Scrape away the dirt!"

This time, without waiting for the old village chief's order, the two villagers immediately removed the mound of soil, and the pit was pitch black, with bursts of black smoke emitting from it.

But look carefully, the firewood before has been completely turned into charcoal.

The old village head asked: "Mr. Lin, you have spent half a day, what is this for?"

This sentence can be regarded as asking the voice of everyone.

Everyone knew that it was impossible for Lin Yun to do useless work. There must be a reason for such a lot of trouble.

Lin Yun smiled mysteriously and said, "Okay! I know everyone is curious, and it's time to reveal it!!"

After that, Lin Yun picked up an ordinary stone on the ground, put sulfur sand and charcoal into another empty bamboo tube, and ground it into powder.

Several people present stared unblinkingly.

Especially Ye Wanqing and Wu Na, both of them are strong women in their respective fields, so they have a strong thirst for knowledge and want to know what Lin Yun can do.

But the old village chief and the two villagers couldn't understand it at all. To them, Lin Yun did a bunch of meaningless things this afternoon and wasted their entire afternoon. If they had this time, they might as well go fishing in the lake. At least I can have a full meal.

However, this kind of thinking is only dared to pass through the brain, but dare not say it clearly.

At this time, Lin Yun poured out a little of the nitrate crystals he had painstakingly extracted, and mixed it into the bamboo tube.

The three raw materials were compacted with stones, and a lead wire made of dead leaves was reserved.

After finishing everything, Lin Yun let out a foul breath.

"Aren't you always curious about the results of my busy afternoon? Now is the time to witness miracles! Stay away!"

It may not be safe for Lin Yun to make black powder and use a bamboo tube as the simplest launching device.

Everyone retreated a few meters immediately.

"Old village chief, please lend me your hanyan fire pocket!"

The old village chief handed it over immediately.

Lin Yun pulled lightly, and the torch glowed and came close to the fuse.

"Stab!!"

A burst of sparks spurted out.

Lin Yun quickly aimed the bamboo tube at the corner of the wall five meters away.

"Boom!!"

There was a loud noise, not to mention the mansion, the whole Niubei Village was shaken, and the villagers were even more frightened and looked towards this side in surprise.

A fiery snake spewed out, instantly piercing through the one-foot-thick brick wall.

Lin Yun's arm was numb from the shock, blood flowed down, and he was injured.

And the smoke from the wolf blackened his face.

Seeing such a scene, several people present gasped.

The two villagers knelt on the ground, terrified.

The old village chief's callused hands were trembling. He had lived for more than 60 years and had never seen such a scene.

But the most surprising ones were Lin Yun's three wives.

Even if Lin Wuyue didn't understand, she still understood what the explosion just now meant.

And Ye Wanqing and Wu Na's eyes were even brighter, staring at Lin Yun as if they saw something delicious.

Wu Na, who has a bold personality, threw herself directly into Lin Yun's arms.

As a soldier who has been on the battlefield, she naturally understands that if the cannon shot just now is used for marching and fighting, it will be absolutely powerful.

"Sanggong, you are really amazing!! What is the name of this thing you invented?"

Oona looked excited.

"Hey...it hurts! Let go!"

Lin Yun's entire right arm seemed to be broken.

Only then did Wu Na realize that something was wrong, and quickly backed away. When she saw that his wrist was still dripping blood, she was surprised.

Lin Wuyue and Ye Wanqing also leaned forward, looking concerned.

"Sir, how are you?"

Lin Wuyue took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood on his hands.

Lin Yun smiled wryly and said, "It's probably because the bone was dislocated by the shock! A little skin trauma, don't worry! You three don't think I'm stinky this time?"

The three girls all blushed slightly.

Ye Wanqing asked, "Sir, did you really invent the thing that exploded just now?"

"What? Have you seen that there are other people in this world who can make it?"

Lin Yun said angrily.

"That's not what I meant! Tell me quickly, what is this thing? Why is it so powerful?"

Lin Yun played with taste: "This is... black powder!"

"Black powder?"

Ye Wanqing murmured and said: "As far as I know, you are the one who doesn't like reading and studying among the 36 sons of King Fengyang! How do you know this manufacturing process?"

Lin Yun sighed inwardly, this Ye Wanqing is worthy of being from the National Academy of Scholars, and her thoughts are indeed meticulous.

But he didn't intend to answer, and he didn't know how to explain it. He couldn't tell her that he was a time traveler, right?

With a wry smile, "Can I go back and bandage the wound before explaining to you?"

Lin Wuyue immediately supported Lin Yun, and said, "Wanqing, don't ask so many questions! Didn't you see that your husband was injured?"

"Oh fine!"

Ye Wanqing stared at Lin Yun's back, and for the first time there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

If Lin Yun's performance in the face of the robbers before was heroic and fearless, then this time he created black powder, which is bold and crazy.

She is very clear that if this invention of Lin Yun is used in the military, it will definitely have a subversive impact and will completely change the way of future warfare.

A smile appeared on the corner of Ye Wanqing's mouth, and she felt even more anticipation in her heart, as if she saw Lin Yun's upcoming rise.

At this time, Lin Yun suddenly turned around and said: "Old village chief, please prepare more sand, charcoal and dung from Niubei Mountain for me! Process it according to the method I just did!"

"Okay, leave this matter to Xiao Lao! Mr. Lin, take a good rest these two days!"

Although the old village head didn't know what the explosion meant, he also knew that it could protect the safety of Niubei Village.

Just imagine, if the person hit was not a wall, but a person, there would be absolutely no place to bury him.

Lin Yun endured the pain in his right arm and forced a smile: "I won't let everyone work in vain! Tell the villagers a message for me, as long as everyone who participates in the labor, each person will get [-] yuan a day!"

Now, not to mention the surprise of the old village chief and the two villagers, even the third daughter felt incredible.

In this world, one thousand Wen is worth one or two taels of silver. In Niubei Village, even if you sell a hundred catties of fish, you can't get one or two taels of silver.

And there are more than 500 people in Niubei Village, even if only 100 people are involved in the processing and manufacturing, then Lin Yun's daily wages are converted into ten taels of silver.

It's not a big deal for the wealthy Lin family.

But for Lin Yun, and even Niubei Village, it was an astronomical sum.

The old village chief said in surprise: "Mr. Lin, you... you really mean what you say?"

Lin Yun smiled and said, "Of course it's true, when have I ever lied to you?"

"Okay! With Mr. Lin's words, then this matter is on us!"

After that, the old village head and two villagers left with joy.

Back in the living room, Lin Yun sat on a chair, and Lin Wuyue carefully bandaged the wound.

"Sanggong, today is too dangerous! If the explosion is more powerful, you may not be able to keep your arm!"
