Zhuge Liang on the side originally couldn't hold back his smile.
However, after Cao Ang finished speaking, he couldn't help it anymore, and then smiled at Lu Wen: "Madam, you misunderstood, this gunpowder is mainly used on the battlefield, and you have seen the effect just now , can turn the tide of battle in an instant!"
"Also, this gunpowder is more than just heroic. It can be used in various places. For example, gunpowder can be used when mining mountains and mines, and gunpowder can also be used during Chinese New Year!"
"The current use of gunpowder is only the tip of the iceberg. Kong Ming believes that the role of gunpowder is far more than that!"
When Zhuge Liang started the research and development of this gunpowder, his heart was full of curiosity.
During this research and development, he was also deeply frightened by the power of the gunpowder.
What he didn't think about was that this gunpowder could have such a great power, which really shocked him!
After Zhuge Liang developed gunpowder, it was much calmer.
During the first test of gunpowder, Zhuge Liang's expression was the same as Lu Wen's now.
However, in addition to being shocked, Zhuge Liang's heart is more happy, nothing to be excited, it is the interest generated by the further development of gunpowder!
Lu Wen is not the Xiaojiabiyu type, she also knows about the things on the battlefield.
She felt the power of the gunpowder explosion just now. If such explosives are used on the battlefield, it will definitely turn the tide of the battle in an instant as Zhuge Liang said just now!
Lu Wen believes that the military potential of this gunpowder on the battlefield is amazing.
"So that's how it is. The vibration just now was really powerful. It scares me so much that my heart is still beating!"
Lu Wen also said seriously afterwards, and then Lu Wen thought of something again, and said again: "I have seen the power of this gunpowder just now, according to my opinion, if this gunpowder can be produced in large quantities, it will definitely It can set off a stormy sea!"
"If it is taken out suddenly, it will definitely scare them to death!"
After Lu Wen heard the earth shaking and mountain shaking for the first time, everyone was shocked, let alone other people.
After Cao Ang heard Lu Wen's words, he shook his head.
After Zhuge Liang and Lu Wen saw Cao Ang's actions, they were a little puzzled. Could it be that what they said was wrong?
After Cao Ang saw the expressions of the two, he just said lightly: "It's not your fault, this gunpowder has so many uses that many, many industries will need it, so you underestimate the power of gunpowder very much. normal!"
Zhuge Liang believes that after the gunpowder is developed, it can only be used as an auxiliary weapon.
And Lu Wen was even more straightforward, she actually thought that gunpowder could only be used to scare people.
Everyone has never seen the explosion of gunpowder.
If such a thunder-like explosion suddenly appeared on the battlefield, it would definitely frighten the opponent's war horse.
If the war horses are frightened, they will be unable to fight and lose a lot of combat power.
Not only that, the powerful explosion can also cause casualties to enemy soldiers, causing them to lose their combat effectiveness instantly.
The appearance of this gunpowder will definitely cause the morale of the soldiers of the local army to collapse because of fear, which can be called a "morale killer".
This can be seen.
Both felt it.
Gunpowder has a very high practical value.
But I don't think gunpowder can dominate the battlefield
Of course, there is nothing wrong in itself with thinking that way.
Because the current results are really not strong enough.
A while ago, Cao Ang specially inspected Cao Wei's new ship.
After inspecting the new ship, Cao Ang had a new idea in his mind.
However, at that time, he didn't think so much.
However, as time went by, Cao Ang felt more and more that this matter must be realized as soon as possible!
Cao Ang felt that if he really wanted to defeat Jingwu's naval army, it would not be enough to have new warships that were strong enough and more powerful.
Because of the time limit, and the current shipbuilding technology is relatively backward, shipbuilding takes a lot of time. Even if we start working with all our strength and arrange all the manpower on the construction of warships, the number of warships is impossible. Comparable to Southern troops.
Therefore, in addition to the construction of new warships, it is even more necessary to use their brains on this equipment!
After Cao Ang thought of this, he asked Zhuge Liang to start developing gunpowder.
Now that gunpowder has been developed, it's time for Cao Ang's idea to come true.
If you want to lead Jing Wu in terms of equipment, what kind of weapons are suitable for use on warships?
Cao Ang naturally thought of gunpowder weapons.
He didn't know the method of making gunpowder, but the main materials used in gunpowder and their matching ratios were learned in middle school chemistry books, and he happened to have a little impression.
therefore.
He put the approximate material formula.
And the production method told Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang sent people to conduct active research for a period of time.
Only then did the first generation of explosives be successfully produced. The momentum was frightening, but the power was not too great.
If high-quality high-explosive explosives have not been produced, how can we talk about the revolution of thermal weapons?
The core of thermal weapons is gunpowder, but the other processes and technologies involved are not so simple to understand.
The other processes and technologies involved in this thermal weapon are very complicated.

Chapter 259
For the smelting and metal production, there is a certain high threshold, which does not mean that you can make it if you want to make it.
At least for now, such gunpowder cannot be used on the battlefield, because the lethality is really too low.
If it is really put on the battlefield, it will only be like what Lu Wen said, it can only scare people.
However, according to the current level of gunpowder research and development, it is still possible to play with other gadgets.
For example, it is relatively simple to build a few earth cannons for fun.
