Chapter 134 Explosion is Art
Nowadays, all the good women are taken over by the rich and powerful. What does it matter if I get Liu Hui Niang?

What's more, he is a professional.

If you miss a woman like this, your luck will be reduced by 30%.

Compared with the generals who are good at fighting and killing, there are still too few technical talents on Liangshan.

There are the shipbuilder Meng Kang, known as the "Jade Banner Pole", the blacksmith Tang Long, the brothers Zhu Gui, known as the "Dry Land Hulu", and Zhu Fu, known as the "Smiling Tiger", who run hotels, Xiao Rang, known as the "Sage Calligrapher", who practices calligraphy, and Jin Dajian, known as the "Jade Arm Craftsman", who carves jade.

Now that Liu Huiniang has been brought in, the research and development of Liangshan's hot weapons can finally be put on the agenda.

For several days in a row, Cao Jie hung out with the treasure girl, chatting about something and even put aside his daily practice.

Others just thought that my brother was kind and gentle and fell in love with the third daughter of the Liu family.

Just wait for a good day, set up a banquet, and have a good time in the bridal chamber.

Even Liu Guang, his father and his two sons were treated with wine and meat and were not treated as prisoners.

As for getting a woman, what does that matter? Even if I get ten or eight more, what does that matter?
On this day, Cao Jie took out 30% of the nitroglycerin he had accumulated over the year, then used a large firecracker as a fuse and tinkered with a pack of explosives.

After a few days of contact, Cao Jie had a better understanding of Liu Hui Niang.

She was not interested in other things, such as the government, bandits, etc. As long as it did not affect her research, she would be fine anywhere.

Anyone who can help her in her research is a confidant, and anyone who disturbs her research is an enemy.

Therefore, Cao Jie decided to do something big, to let the beauty experience the "art of explosion" thoroughly!
After taking a quick look at the explosive pack, Liu Hui Niang shook her head in disdain and said bluntly, "Your divine thunder is crudely made, without any technical content. It probably only makes a noise."

"Ha ha!"

Cao Jie laughed loudly: "This is an earth-shattering sound, just wait and see!"

Liu Hui Niang checked it again with a professional eye and shook her head, "I don't believe it. It's obviously not powerful! You're wasting my time. Are you going to tell me how to granulate the gunpowder? Don't lie to me! I tell you, I, Liu Hui Niang, am not that easy to fool..."

"Let's fire one shot first. If it's a dud, and I don't have the technology to granulate gunpowder, I'll just politely send you all down the mountain. How about that?"

"My father said that if we go down the mountain we will die, so we'd better stay here!" Liu Hui's mother muttered softly.

At this time, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and his party came over.

Wu Xuejiu waved his goose feather fan and bowed, saying, "I heard that you have been fascinated by gunpowder recently. Mr. Gongsun is a direct descendant of the Taoist school and is also good at this. Why don't you ask Mr. Gongsun for advice?"

Cao Jie was surprised for a moment, and asked curiously: "Mr. Gongsun also studies gunpowder?"

Gongsun Sheng stroked his long beard and nodded, saying, "My master, Luo Zhenren, is in charge of the Tiangang Five Thunders Orthodox Method, which requires gunpowder as one of the materials for casting the spell. Although I have not yet been taught this great method, I have read all the books on refining gunpowder in the temple, and I have done some research on it."

"Okay!"

Cao Jie was overjoyed. He pointed at the beautiful girl who looked like a white lotus and said, "Liu Hui Niang is also very knowledgeable about gunpowder. When the saltpeter and sulfur are delivered, we will study the gunpowder ratio carefully and try to get the perfect ratio. I won't say more about this for now. Let's try my firecracker today to see how powerful it is."

"This thing is not very safe. Brother, you don't have to do it yourself. Just leave it to the brothers."

Wu Yong took the explosive pack, took out the fire starter and asked, "Can I put it in the front?"

He really thought it was firecrackers!

"Don't..." Cao Jie was startled, snatched the explosive pack and said with a wry smile: "I know it's not safe, so I'll find an uninhabited valley to experiment."

The explosives Cao Jie made did not have an iron shell, but only a bamboo tube. Nitroglycerin wrapped in mulberry paper was stuffed into the one-inch-thick and one-foot-long bamboo tube, and then black powder as a fuse was poked in. Finally, the opening was sealed with bamboo paper, leaving a filament, and a large firecracker was ready. In order to test the power, Cao Jie personally dug a hole of the right size in the crack of the stone, leaving enough length for the filament.

Then he retreated again and again, and only after retreating hundreds of meters away did Cao Jie stop.

"Brother, are you being too cautious?" Wu Yong asked tactfully, fearing that Cao Jie would lose face.

If we had only heard one sound, it would have been a joke to retreat so far.

"You never go too far wrong."

Cao Jie said this and waved to Shi Qian in the distance.

He is extremely agile and fast.

After lighting the medicine stick that was left long enough, Shi Qian rushed towards Cao Jie.

The distance of more than a hundred meters only took Shi Qian ten seconds, even on a steep mountain road.

Seven or eight seconds later.

boom!
There was a deafening roar that shook the earth, and everyone present had their hearts trembled. Then seven or eight millstone-sized stones rolled down, rumbling and stirring up a cloud of dust.

As the sound shook, heaven and earth fell into silence.

Gongsun Sheng pulled down his two long whiskers and waited for three to five seconds before asking in amazement, "Why... is this so powerful?"

Liu Hui Niang opened her mouth wide. Although she was extremely shocked, her dark eyes became brighter and brighter.

Wu Yong quietly wiped a cold sweat. If he had used a fire stick to light it directly, with his level of spiritual refinement and physical strength, wouldn't he have been blown to pieces by the firecracker?
Just like that huge rock.

"Brother... this thing can split mountains and cut rocks... it's a treasure! It's really a treasure!" Wu Yong quickly thought of the scene of using it on the battlefield.

At this moment, Shi Qian turned his head and looked behind him, and couldn't help feeling scared.

If I had insisted on not leaving just now, I would have been either dead or injured. I couldn't help but think: Fortunately, I have always obeyed my brother's orders. I will obey his orders even more in the future!
"It's just so-so!"

Cao Jie smiled and waited until all the fallen rocks had disappeared before walking towards the explosion site.

Liu Hui Niang was more anxious than anyone else. She used her sleeves to wave away the rolling dust in front of her and hurried to the explosion site.

A big pit appeared on the exposed rock in front of her. She jumped into the pit, touched the slightly warm ground with her hand, and murmured, "What a powerful force! It's more than ten times the formula of my gunpowder. If I had this formula, the power of the Flying Thunder would be... I would kill gods and Buddhas... whoosh..."

Gradually, Liu Hui Niang began to breathe heavily.

He was so itchy that he wanted to hold a knife and force Cao Jie to tell him the technology of granulated gunpowder and the formula of the gunpowder.

Gongsun Sheng was no less curious than Liu Huiniang, but he had achieved great success in Taoism and was extremely calm.

He sniffed the air, and although the sulfur smell of black powder masked some of it, he still detected a peculiar scent.

He judged that the powerful force of the explosion did not come from gunpowder, but from another unknown thing.

So when he looked at Cao Jie, there were more complicated emotions in his eyes.
