While discussing the countermeasures at Yemu, an old acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time also welcomed in the Hidden Sword Villa.

Ye Chen looked at the familiar figure and said with a smile, "Why is Mr. Ye so free to come to my place today?"

Hearing the question, some inexplicable confusion appeared on Gong Shuye's face, and then he sighed and said, "I seem to have made something terrible..."

Chapter 193 The Horrible Gunpowder

Hearing this, Ye Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. He knows Gong Shuye's accomplishments in creation, and he has produced a lot of good things over the years.Even objects that are priceless in the eyes of ordinary people are mediocre in his eyes.

But this time the other party actually used the word "terrible", indicating that this is definitely not an item in the general sense.

Then he asked: "I don't know what kind of extraordinary thing Ye Lao made, so cautious?"

Gong Shuye let out a long breath, did not explain directly, but said: "Go to a secluded place and talk."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Okay, this way please."

As he spoke, he led the other party to a quiet forest, which was a corner of the villa, quite remote.Basically no one will show up on weekdays.

"Old Ye, can we talk now?"

Gong Shuye looked around for a while, and then said: "This matter started after you gave me the method of making lime, and since then I have repeatedly conducted experiments, and I have indeed gained a lot.

Then I started to study all kinds of stones. After crushing, burning, soaking, and mixing them, I discovered that different kinds of things can also produce various magical reactions with each other.

Until a few days ago, I discovered that mixing charcoal with the other two types of powder can become extremely flammable, and even explode violently in a sealed environment! "

Speaking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little excited, and his breath became short of breath.

And Ye Chen was also taken aback, and then two words popped out of his mind: "Gunpowder!"

I couldn't help being surprised in my heart, logically speaking, this thing should have appeared so early.

Then he hurriedly said: "Can you show me the things?"

Gong Shuye did not refuse, and then took out a small bamboo tube seven inches long and three fingers wide from his wide sleeve, and handed it to the other party.

"That's what's in it."

Ye Chen reached out to take it, and then opened the plug on the bamboo tube, and saw the dark brown powder inside.

I lifted it up and put it in front of my nose and sniffed it lightly. There was a strange smell, slightly pungent.Immediately afterwards, his expression became serious, and he knew that this was black powder, that's right.

At this time, Gong Shuye said: "Although these powders look ordinary, they contain unimaginable power. If you don't believe me, I can light them up and let you take a look."

Ye Chen shook his head slightly: "No need, I believe. There should be no one in this world who is more familiar with this kind of thing than me."

Hearing this, Gong Shuye was slightly taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Could it be that you also made this kind of thing?"

Ye Chen's eyes flashed when he heard the words, he didn't mean that, but it was not easy to explain, so he didn't refute.

"Yes, I have known how to make this kind of thing for a long time. Apart from charcoal, there are also sulfur and saltpetre, right?"

Seeing that the other party really knew about it, Gong Shuye nodded quickly and said, "That's right, I thought I was the first to discover this thing, but now it seems that this old man is arrogant."

Ye Chen said: "You don't need to underestimate yourself, Mr. Ye, I just read it in a book by chance, and it's just a slap in the face."

Hearing this, Gong Shuye said with some emotion: "I never thought that someone had already recorded this thing in a book. It really is someone other than others. It's just a pity that I couldn't see this wonderful book."

Ye Chen also nodded, and didn't say much. After all, he didn't know where the book called "Physics" was thrown as early as in his previous life.

Gong Shuye continued to ask: "Since someone has recorded it, there must be a name for this thing, right?"

Ye Chen replied: "According to the records in the book, this thing is called gunpowder."

"gunpowder……"

Gong Shuye thought for a while, then nodded slightly, the name is quite good, very suitable.

Then he said: "Since you are proficient in gunpowder, you should also know how terrifying this thing is. If it falls into the hands of people with evil intentions, it may cause catastrophe!"

Ye Chen said: "That's right, so I haven't told anyone about it all this time, and I hope you can keep it a secret."

Gong Shuye naturally agreed: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else about it. A horrible thing like gunpowder should be buried forever."

Hearing this, Ye Chen did not fully agree, and said, "Old Ye, everything has two sides. Although gunpowder is powerful, if it is used properly, it can also benefit the people and maintain the stability of the country."

"Then you mean..."

Gong Shuye was a little puzzled. The other party said before that the gunpowder should not be passed on, but now it seems unlikely that they will completely hide it.

"I mean, gunpowder is going to come back someday, but not now."

Ye Chen replied.

Gong Shuye frowned: "The current world is in dire straits. I don't know how many people will die every day. If this thing is allowed to appear, I don't know how many lives will be lost in vain."

Ye Chen said: "I know you don't want to increase the killing, but even if we hide something like this, it will be discovered by others one day.

If I'm from Kyushu, it's okay, if I'm taken over by a foreign race, then I don't need to say more about what will happen in the future. "

Hearing these words, Gong Shuye was also shocked, he really didn't think so much before.Thinking about it now, it was indeed my negligence.

If the gunpowder is controlled by a foreign race, it will be tantamount to a catastrophe for the people of Huaxia.

Then he asked: "In your opinion, how to solve this matter?"

Ye Chen replied: "Nowadays the war is endless, let us keep this item for the time being. I hope we can find a suitable person to entrust it to us in the future."

Gong Shuye raised his hand and stroked his beard, nodded: "That's all."

Holding the bamboo tube in his hand, Ye Chen asked, "Old Ye, how much gunpowder do you have?"

Gong Shuye said: "I also know what this thing represents, and I haven't made too many. Except for the ones used in the experiment, only the ones in the bamboo tube are left."

Ye Chen nodded: "It's too early for gunpowder to appear. Since there are only so much left, it's better not to keep it. Why don't you use it now."

Gongshuye responded, "Okay."

Ye Chen directly moved the bamboo tube in his hand several feet away, and then flicked with his fingers, a ray of flame flew out, just landing on the bamboo tube.

As the flame burned, the gunpowder inside also produced a violent reaction.

After a few breaths, a loud "boom" was heard. The terrifying explosion caused a black hole to appear on the ground, and the blazing flames rolled, and the momentum was astonishing...
