Chapter 228 Explosive Packs, Landmines?
Chapter 228 Explosive Packs, Landmines?
Early the next morning, Gu Chen immediately sent soldiers to the city to purchase the three main raw materials of saltpeter, carbon, and sulfur, and then went to the camp to directly drag Jiang Anran up.
It has to be said that Jiang Anran's head seemed to have been brightened, and he developed several highly lethal gunpowders in just one morning.
boom! !
A deafening explosion sounded, and a large crater was blasted in the open space behind the military camp. Gu Chen stood above the crater, quietly looking at the blasted hole in front of him.
There are only two words in my heart: awesome! !
Sure enough, it has to be you, Ms. Jiang Anran!
If this kind of bomb is produced on a large scale in the past few days, it will definitely be a fatal blow to Mobei.
Gu Yongyi also walked over at this time, looked down at the half-foot-large pit, and took a deep breath. Then he turned to look at Gu Chen next to him, and said in shock: "Brother Ninth, You call this a firecracker?!"
"It doesn't matter, it almost means the same thing."
Gu Chen glanced at the other party, replied calmly, then left from the entrance of the pit, turned and walked towards Jiang Anran behind him, "Are there any other powerful ones?"
"have!"
Jiang Anran's eyes immediately lit up, and then he asked the soldiers to take out the other two kinds of gunpowder and said: "I call this kind of gunpowder wrapped in hemp rope and cardboard an explosive pack. The explosion damage is about six meters, but it cannot be affected by moisture. . This kind is packed in a clay pot and has better sealing. I call it a mine. It can be buried in the soil and ignite the fuse directly when the enemy approaches. The effect is smaller than the explosive bag, and the trap needs to be set up in advance. "
"Miss Jiang, did you invent these?"
Gu Yongyi came over and couldn't help but interject a question.
Jiang Anran smiled lightly, "I also thought about it myself and slightly adjusted the proportion of raw materials for making firecrackers."
"Let's try these two gunpowders you mentioned again! If they are lethal, I will ask General Zhao Tai for instructions and apply them to the next military use." Gu Chen said.
"Okay." Jiang Anran nodded with a smile.
Although these things were all she had figured out during this period, if she could really help Da Zhou, she would still have an indescribable sense of accomplishment in her heart.
After an afternoon of testing, Gu Chen had some collective understanding of the damage caused by explosive packs, mines, and small explosive bombs (grenades).
Explosive packs are highly destructive and have a wide explosion range of about 5 to 8 meters. Landmines are suitable for ambushes, and traps need to be set up in advance. The damage is slightly less than explosive bags, while small explosive bombs are lighter and easier to use than archery, with an explosion range of about two meters.
....
That night, Gu Chen told Zhao Tai and other generals present about his idea of using gunpowder in military applications. Originally, they were still skeptical about the damage caused by gunpowder, but after Gu Chen sent someone to demonstrate it to them, Zhao Tai personally nodded and decided to listen to Gu Chen's suggestion.
Then Gu Chen told everyone the differences between explosive packs, landmines, and small explosive bombs. In this way, when the soldiers below use them, they can also pay attention to these details to avoid being accidentally injured.
Explosive packs, landmines? !
When he heard these two familiar words, Gu Tianming couldn't help but frown, and his eyes subconsciously looked at Gu Chen opposite.
Isn't this a name that was only used in the previous life?
Is it possible...
Gu Tianming's eyes tightened and he immediately looked at Gu Chen and asked: "Nine...Prince Zhuang, did you invent this thing?"
He originally wanted to call him Ninth Brother, but thinking about the quarrel he had with him because of the prince's death, he quickly changed his name.
Hearing Gu Tianming's inquiry, Gu Chen immediately looked back. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I didn't invent this thing. Why does the Sixth Prince ask this?!"
Gu Tianming smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little curious."
Even though Gu Chen didn't say who it was, Gu Tianming already had the answer in his mind.
Jiang Anran is probably the only one who can use explosive bags and mines to name gunpowder.
....
The next day, Zhao Tai immediately set up a gunpowder camp in the military camp and mobilized 20,000 soldiers to participate in learning and production.
Although there are many soldiers participating in learning and production, after actual screening, less than one-fifth of the soldiers and trainees can meet the passing standards.
As the director of the gunpowder camp, Gu Chen is responsible for supervising and counting the production of three different gunpowder types. Jiang Anran, as the production leader of the gunpowder camp, leads them on how to quickly and efficiently produce a series of gunpowders.
In the next few days, the gunpowder battalion worked hard to produce explosive packets, landmines, and small explosive bombs. They worked in two shifts to produce gunpowder around the clock without any rest.
As the production leader, Jiang Anran hardly slept for several days, with less than four hours of effective sleep a day.
On the evening of the fourth day, Jiang Anran returned to his tent like a zombie, and then threw himself directly on the bed.
The whole person looked limp and unable to lift up any energy.
Leaning on the soft big bed, Jiang Anran couldn't help but murmured: "I'm so exhausted, if only someone could give me a squeeze on my shoulders..."
Who would have thought that she was just here to help with medical treatment, but in the end she was tricked into Gunpowder Camp by Gu Chen.
Then he worked day and night to instruct the soldiers to make gunpowder....
It can be said that these few days have been the most tortured time she has ever lived.
There is no rest time, no delicious meals, in addition to preparing gunpowder, you also need to prepare gunpowder while riding a horse.
It’s too difficult to ride a horse! ! !
After a while, a feeling of fatigue slowly came over her, causing her to close her eyes subconsciously. Just when she was about to say it, Jiang Anran woke up immediately, "No, I can't sleep now, I have to take a shower." That's all..."
The conditions in the military camp were limited, and she hadn't taken a shower in a while. She had sweated a lot in the past few days in the gunpowder camp. If she didn't wash herself properly, she would stink.
Then, she immediately got up from the bed and checked inside her tent.
"here!"
In a few minutes, she found a wooden barrel in the tent. The barrel was very large and should be used for bathing.
Jiang Anran spent a lot of effort to move the tub out, but after moving it out, she couldn't help but hesitate, "Gu Chen, this guy has never used it before..."
After all, Gu Chen had owned this camp before him, and most of the things in it also belonged to him.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Anran spread his hands helplessly, "Forget it, don't worry about it anymore, I'll give the tub a good wash later."
The conditions in the military camp were poor and they could only make do with it. Even if they asked General Zhao for a bathtub, it would probably have been used by someone else.
In this case, there is no need to worry too much.
Later, Jiang Anran left the camp to fetch water from the fire house.
