Chapter 353 The Idea of Implementing Gunpowder

Chapter 353 – The Idea of Implementing Gunpowder

“What was that just now?” Qin Feng muttered out as he looked in the direction of the palace.

Even though the golden dragon had already disappeared, he seemed to still be able to hear that horrifying dragon’s roar roaring in his ears, and could still see the open-mouthed gesture hovering high in the sky.

And he vaguely had the illusion that the moment that golden dragon turned its head, what was reflected in those huge dragon eyes – was his figure.

Elder Yuan seemed to have guessed something and glanced at Qin Feng if he had any deep meaning.

Although the rest of them were also very shocked by that golden dragon, they were still more interested in gunpowder compared to that golden dragon!

“Elder, what you made just now is the gunpowder that Master Qin spoke of?”

“I don’t understand why those materials fused together can exert such a great power, could this be the wonders of physics as well?”

At this moment, everyone converged their eyes on one person, their gazes incomparably hot!

Qin Feng coughed dryly and returned, “This is still somewhat different from physics, but even if I were to explain it to you, with your current level of knowledge, it would be difficult to understand the reasoning.

I can only tell you that this is called chemistry, you can also call it alchemy.”

Having said that, the truth was that he himself was unable to explain the principles.
“Chemistry, alchemy?” The crowd’s eyes were all glowing, and it was as if they had seen a brand new door!

“I’m afraid that only Master Qin can do something like this, turning the rotten into the magical!”

“Master Qin, can you teach us this alchemy technique as well?”

“The principle of gunpowder generation, if you can tell us a thing or two, we would be grateful!”

Qin Feng showed a thoughtful look on his face, it was not easy to produce gunpowder, it was definitely necessary to mass produce it.

After all, gunpowder that could also be used by the common people could help the human race to better fight against demonic ghosts.

But there are two sides to everything, gunpowder does not require much from the user, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.

If it was utilized by people with ulterior motives, such as those rebellious bandits, gunpowder would instead bring calamity to the human race.
Just as Qin Feng was pondering whether or not to teach the method of making gunpowder, Elder Yuan spoke up and said, “Today’s matter, anyone from the Divine Artisan Workshop must act as if it didn’t happen.

Gunpowder is a matter of great importance, if it is made known to people with an improper mind, there is a fear of disaster.”

In the end, Elder Yuan had lived for a long time, and what Qin Feng was worried about, he could naturally foresee.

When the people of the Divine Workshop heard what he said, they also instantly understood what was at stake.

Gunpowder that was so incredibly powerful, yet did not require too much from the user, if it was grasped by people with evil intentions, it would no longer be a blessing for the human race, but a source of calamity!
“We understand.” The crowd spoke in unison, saying absolutely nothing about the matter of gunpowder.

“Kid, you come with me.” Yuan Zhai said this, then turned around and walked towards the upper floor of the attic with his hands in the air.

Qin Feng froze and then followed.

Arriving at the fourth floor of the attic, Elder Yuan asked, “What exactly is the alchemy you mentioned?
Why would different types of materials, fused together, undergo such a strange change, which is completely different from its original properties.”

In Elder Yuan Zhai’s inherent thinking, iron is iron, and gold is gold, no matter how you pound it and forge it into whatever shape, you can’t change its essence.

Yet the birth of this gunpowder had far broken his cognition.

He wanted to explore, wanted to know the wonders of it.

Qin Feng didn’t want to answer because he himself was half-knowledgeable, but seeing the old man’s inquisitive eyes, he still thought about it and roughly explained.

“In fact, most of the substances in the world are not what they appear to be on our surface, they have deeper and more subtle essences, in the field of alchemy, they are called elements.

In the field of alchemy, they are called elements. The reason why materials such as saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, and so on can be combined to turn into incredibly powerful gunpowder is because of the reaction that occurs when the elements they contain are combined with each other. When I say it like this, can old master understand?”

The old master raised his head and said nothing.

However, Qin Feng could already tell from the other party’s blank eyes that Elder Yuan hadn’t understood the principle at all.

It couldn’t be helped, the concept of elements was just too ahead of its time for people of this era, he couldn’t just memorize a passage of the periodic table of elements in front of the old master, could he?
“That’s just it.” Elder Yuan let out a sigh, “Now it’s better to talk about this gunpowder thing first, this thing is extremely powerful and has no requirements for the user.

This undoubtedly allows the human race to fight against demons and ghosts, an additional safeguard.

However, if there is no restriction on it, causing gunpowder to proliferate amongst the people, it will inevitably produce extremely serious consequences.”

Qin Feng nodded in recognition as he heard this, “What Elder Yuan said is also something I have been worried about, but I do have a solution.”

“What solution?” Yuan Zhai asked.

“Reach a cooperation with the imperial court, the army, and the Demon Beheading Division, provide them with the use of gunpowder, and let them control the raw materials of gunpowder, saltpeter and sulfur, so as to fundamentally solve the problem of gunpowder’s potential for abuse.”

This answer was somewhat unexpected by the old man, “This method is indeed feasible, but I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult to implement.

You should be clear about the reasoning behind the principle of “a man’s sin is not a sin, but a man’s crime is not a sin”.

If you let them know that the source of the gunpowder is with you, it will not be up to you at that time.”

Qin Feng smiled, then returned, “I naturally know this point of reasoning more than well, so if I want to implement it, I still need the help of the Elder Yuan.

I don’t have a doorway on the imperial court side, so I hope you can take care of me on this.”

“What you mean by this is that the army and the Demon Beheading Division side, you can solve it yourself?”

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow and replied, “I’m not hiding anything from Elder Yuan, my mother’s surname is Liu, her name is Jian Li.”

“I see.” Yuan Zhai nodded.

The Liu family, which was in charge of the Divine Constabulary Army, had the power of speech in this part of the army without having to say much.

“As for the Demon Beheading Division’s side,” Qin Feng glanced at the green jade Demon Beheading Order at his waist.

The Green Jade Demon Beheader was a status symbol elsewhere, however, in this Feng Tian City, it was a bit less than impressive, and the only thing he could rely on was perhaps his relationship with Lord Blade Frenzy and Senior Gun Immortal.

Moreover, when he left Jinyang City, Lord Zhou Kai had also given him a letter of recommendation from the Demon Beheading Division, making it convenient for him to enter the Demon Beheading Division in Fengtian City.

It was only because he had been dealing with other matters after arriving at Fengtian City that he hadn’t had the time to make a trip there yet.

“I must take the time to go to the Demon Beheading Division and recognize the door next.” Qin Feng thought in this manner, this was both for the purpose of building up connections and also for the purpose of implementing gunpowder.

Then, he elaborated on how to properly use gunpowder with the Elder –

“Elder Yuan, although gunpowder is powerful, it can’t be used by directly igniting it, otherwise it’s too dangerous.

I have a design here that allows the gunpowder to be stored and then ignited by means of a fuse.

This will not only give the user enough time to escape, but also control the time of detonation, and moreover, by changing the amount of gunpowder, determine the intensity of detonation.

Next, I need you to help me make some of this stuff, which will also be convenient for the court, the army, and the Demon Beheading Division to display in the near future.”

Elder Yuan couldn’t help but be attracted by this marvelous thought, “Somewhat interesting, I see.”
