Chapter 434 Xiao Jiuyue is worth it

"Miss, the bird gun is made here." Xue Ren led Xiao Jiuyue and Dong Gui directly into the cave. The hollowed-out cave looked like a house in the cave, except that the light and air were not so good.

The cave was filled with the smell of saltpeter, and in front of a large stone platform sat an unkempt man.

"Miss, he's Sun Jin." Xue Ren reminded Xiao Jiuyue while explaining, "Miss, Sun Jin is obsessed with studying bird guns. Even when Your Highness comes, he doesn't say much."

Xue Ren planned to give Xiao Jiuyue a reminder first, fearing that Sun Jin’s bad attitude would cause Xiao Jiuyue to misunderstand.

Xiao Jiuyue nodded slightly, and saw Xue Ren being pushed away by Sun Jin: "What young lady, Miss Xiao, it has nothing to do with me. My experiment is about to succeed, don't bother me here."

Sun Jin's words of disdain were spoken in a loud voice, and coupled with his impatient expression, Xue Ren felt a little embarrassed. He stepped forward and wanted to talk to Sun Jin nicely, saying that this young lady was the apple of his master's eye.

Unexpectedly, Sun Jin pushed him away and said, "Are you done yet? Stop bothering me."

Sun Jin buried his head in his work, as if he didn't care whether there were people around or not.

"Sun Jin..." Xue Ren turned around awkwardly and said to Xiao Jiuyue, "Miss, once he gets serious about his studies, he doesn't recognize anyone."

"I don't recognize anyone." Xue Ren added.

"It's okay." Xiao Jiuyue didn't feel embarrassed at all. Only someone as obsessed as Sun Jin could create a more powerful bird gun, right?

Sun Jin was probably experimenting with the mix. On the stone platform were saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal powder.

Xiao Jiuyue recalled what she had learned in chemistry class and blurted out, "One nitrate, two sulfurs, and three charcoal."

"One nitre, two sulphur and three charcoal?" Sun Jin muttered, and directly took out a new portion and started to mix it. Sun Jin excitedly mixed it again according to this proportion.

Xiao Jiuyue stood aside and watched as Sun Jin mixed the mixture, then rolled it up with paper and put it aside...

"retreat!"

Xiao Jiuyue didn't react at all and kept backing away. He only heard a "bang" and it exploded instantly!

Madman, really crazy!

Xiao Jiuyue only felt that the rocks in the cave above his head were shaken and turned into dust by the explosion.

"Miss." Dong Gui protected Xiao Jiuyue and looked at Sun Jin with shock. He was not afraid of blowing up the cave!

"Miss, are you okay?" Xue Ren turned around and looked at Xiao Jiuyue. Although he was shocked, he still stood there calmly. He explained: "Sun Jin is like this, he explodes anytime and anywhere. You will get used to it!"

"It's done!"

Sun Jin laughed excitedly with his head thrown back. The explosion just now not only did not scare Sun Jin, but it made him particularly excited. He turned around and looked at Xiao Jiuyue who had just spoken and said, "You just said one nitre, two sulfur and three charcoal, right?"

Sun Jin looked at Xiao Jiuyue with burning and excited eyes.

Xue Ren cleared his throat and reminded, "Sun Jin, this is the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, Xiao Jiuyue."

"Miss? You know all this?" Sun Jin was puzzled for a moment, then asked, "How did you know this ratio? The power of the explosion is greater than anything I've ever experienced!"

Sun Jin had been experimenting to find the right ratio for the most powerful explosion, but no matter how he tried, nothing worked. Either there was too much charcoal, too much saltpeter, or too much sulfur. Anyway, the ratio just wasn't right.

"I read it in a book." Xiao Jiuyue's lips curled slightly and asked, "The amount you mixed just now wasn't enough. If it was enough, would it have collapsed the cave?"

"Quantity?" Sun Jin's pupils shrank, and he said excitedly, "Miss, do you mean to use this to blast it directly? No need for a bird gun?"

Sun Jin looked at the various bird guns placed aside. They were all researched by him. How to maximize the power of the bird guns was also what Sun Jin had been doing.

"The bird gun can be used, but can it be more diversified?" Xiao Jiuyue's words made Sun Jin's eyes look more confused. Xiao Jiuyue explained: "It's just to make a bird gun. Turn it into an explosive pack directly, leaving enough fuse. Can it be used for more things?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Sun Jin nodded excitedly and said, "Why didn't I think of it!" He was just being too stubborn. He had been thinking about how to make the bird gun more powerful, but he forgot that it could be made into something else.

"Miss, can this be made into an explosive? If we throw one into the Yongzhao Army, wouldn't it blow them away?"

Xue Ren spoke excitedly, slapping the stone table and saying excitedly, "Great! Yong Zhao's army relied on their bird guns and didn't treat our soldiers as human beings. Now, with the explosive packs, we are not afraid of them anymore!"

They invented the bird gun later than the Yongzhao Society. Therefore, after they invented the bird gun and the cotton armor, the casualties of the soldiers of Nanyue were much less. Otherwise, the soldiers of Nanyue would be vulnerable to the bird guns of the Yongzhao Army!

"Don't be afraid of a hammer! I'm going to build a big explosive pack!" Sun Jin said, and immediately began to get into the working state. Xiao Jiuyue reminded him: "Xue Ren, you must be careful not to explode in the cave again, otherwise, the cave will collapse, and those people will be in danger!"

"Yes, these are all bird guns, they are all the hard work of the master!" Xue Ren looked around at the bird guns made around him. Only with these, the master can fight against the Yongzhao Army!

"Come here, move all these finished bird guns to the warehouse." Xue Ren reminded and ordered people to move the bird guns to the warehouse in an orderly manner.

Xiao Jiuyue: "..."

After meeting Sun Jin, Xiao Jiuyue didn't say anything else, but reminded Xue Ren that saltpeter is afraid of fire.

"Don't worry, Miss. We are very careful." Xue Ren said, and suggested: "Miss, do you want to go and see how saltpeter soil is refined into saltpeter land?"

"Yeah." Xiao Jiuyue nodded. She was also a little curious about how saltpeter was refined these days. Was it the same method described in the books?

After a long time.

"Miss, it's a good thing you're here. With this improvement, we can speed up the saltpeter refining process a lot."

Xue Ren looked at Xiao Jiuyue with eyes full of conviction. If he used to think that Xiao Jiuyue was the apple of his master's eye just because of her beauty and ability to make money, now, Xue Ren felt that Xiao Jiuyue was worth it!

"Miss, look, the ice is really forming!" Hua Qing's excited voice rang out the moment she saw Xiao Jiuyue: "With this ice, we won't be afraid of the heat in summer anymore!"

"Well, make more ice. These saltpeter can be reused." Xiao Jiuyue seemed to be looking forward to the arrival of summer more and more. There were smoothies, iced green beans, sour plum soup, iced watermelon, and iced fruit tea. Just thinking about it made people feel happy!
