Chapter 258 The Explosive Miracle Medicine
Being criticized so mercilessly by Zhu Zaijing, the faces of the two Taoists seemed to be on fire.
They also have real skills in refining elixirs, but they know better the effects of the elixirs they concoct.
Moreover, the brand effect of the two of them was not good before, so even if Emperor Jiajing conquered the emperor, he could only hang out in Chaotian Temple as a second-rate immortal, and could not even see Emperor Jiajing in person.
So in the end, they were introduced to Yu Wang by Lan Daoxing, thinking that they could overtake in a corner.
As a result, King Yu was fine, but he didn't seem to be keen on the art of making elixirs to become immortals. Instead, he asked them to make some glycerin.
The key is what glycerin is. The two of them have never heard of it before or now, so they can only try to refine it according to Zhu Zaijing's request.
As a result, as the two of them kept experimenting over the past two years, they also discovered that the problem did not seem to be that simple.
The reaction between glycerin and saltpeter was so unstable that it almost exploded several times.
So the two of them dare not say anything about their true progress.
After all, Zhu Zaijing wanted them to use glycerin to refine a magic medicine that could help them calm down and concentrate. However, it turned out to be a dynamite that would explode if they were not careful. No one dared to say that.
But now that they have been forced into this position by Zhu Zaijing, they cannot say that they have not made any progress. Otherwise, let’s not say whether the beautiful life that has lasted for two years can continue. It's hard to tell what will happen to them both.
Once King Yu identifies the two of them as charlatans who can only pretend to be clever and deceitful, their lives are probably over.
Finally, Nuo Dezi couldn't help it anymore. He gritted his teeth and said to Zhu Zaijing: "Your Majesty, it's not that Xiaodao and I didn't work hard, it's because this glycerin is really terrible. There were several times when I was hungry. When I was experimenting with Brother Leidezi, the snowflake-like substance that reacted with glycerin, saltpeter, and sulfur was just like gunpowder. It exploded if I wasn't careful. It was also incredibly powerful. Fortunately, it was a small amount. It would be unimaginable if the amount was large. . ”
After Zhu Zaijing heard this, he felt excited. It turned out that these two Taoist masters were really capable, and they actually did it.
Zhu Zaijing suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "This thing can explode. It seems to be explained in the "Yongle Dadian", but I didn't tell you to do it at low temperature, how could you still make it explode? "
The two of them were speechless after hearing this, and both looked at Zhu Zaijing with surprised eyes, as if asking, why didn't such an important thing be said earlier?
But it was a pity that the two of them did not dare to question Zhu Zaijing. After all, Zhu Zaijing was the prince, so how could he question it casually.
Zhu Zaijing pretended to think for a while and said: "I remember that this is the record in the "Yongle Ceremony". Since the two immortals had succeeded long ago, why didn't they inform me? This glycerine and Although the magical thing produced by the reaction of sulfur and saltpeter will explode, if it can be synthesized into a pill pill with ordinary starch that calms the mind and nourishes the mind, it may become a pill."
Leidezi and Nuo. After listening to Zhu Zaijing's words and looking at Zhu Zaijing's serious expression, the two of them couldn't help showing doubts. Redzi asked in a low voice: "Is it really okay? What if you eat it?" What should I do if it explodes?”
Zhu Zaijing said: "Can't you just dilute it? Try it again as I said, make a small pill and give it to some patients with heart diseases to try the effect. If it works, the two of you will have a great achievement." Even if His Majesty looks down on your alchemy skills, I will promote this magical medicine that you two have refined to cure heart disease to the world, making you both famous and wealthy!"
< br>In fact, Zhu Zaijing didn’t understand how to control the ingredients of Suxiao Jiuxin Pills, but he knew that nitroglycerin was the main ingredient, so Zhu Zaijing pointed out a clear way to these two Taoists who had made great contributions, Let them first dilute the explosive ingredients they created, and then make a small pill to test the effect.
Then Zhu Zaijing explained to the two of them: "Regarding the news that this thing will explode, I hope that the two immortals will keep it a secret and not mention it to anyone. Otherwise, you will not blame me. Ruthless. From tomorrow on, I will ask the palace to allocate an additional 10,000 taels of silver every year for the two immortals' alchemy research." "At the same time, I hope that the two immortals can stick to their duties and don't have other delusions. And from tomorrow onwards, I will also ask Your Majesty to replace the guards here with Dongchang spies. From now on, whoever goes out here will be questioned and investigated by Dongchang spies. If anyone dares to leak a word of the secrets of this place, Everyone sat down to ask questions!”
Zhu Zaijing’s words were also quite cold, because Zhu Zaijing was very aware of the power of nitroglycerin, and its appearance could directly make the original power astonishing. The gunpowder is compared to a docile little sheep.
Therefore, if it is an urgent matter, it must be treated with the strictest seal and control to prevent the secret recipe of nitroglycerin from being leaked.
After saying these words, Zhu Zaijing also asked the two chemical engineering masters to go down and rest.
When the two Taoist masters left Zhu Zaijing's place, they felt like they were in a dream.
Obviously he was invited by King Yu to refine the magic medicine, why did he end up like this in the blink of an eye?
However, the two of them were motivated again because of King Yu's generous money.
After all, after decades of cultivating immortality, the two of them had seen through some things.
The path of immortality is ethereal, but the path of humanity is vicissitudes of life.
Fame and fortune are the most touching things!
So, since you can already get more fame and fortune, why bother to become an immortal?
After the two chemical engineering masters Leidezi and Nuodezi left, Zhu Zaijing finally couldn't restrain his excitement and laughed, "It's done, it's really done." ! ”
At this time, Meng Chong also came in with a tea cup and saw Zhu Zaijing who was extremely surprised. He looked around and found the two Taoist priests. Meng Chong couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, where are the two Taoist priests? What else is done?"
Zhu Zaijing looked at Meng Chong, and he said excitedly: "The magic medicine is done, and I have asked him to go down here from tomorrow. Wanliang, reward the two immortals for their efforts."
Then Zhu Zaijing said to Meng Chong: "Prepare paper and pen, I want to write a secret memorial."
Zhu Zai. Of course, Jiao couldn't hide the advent of nitroglycerin. After all, this thing was too unstable and something might happen one day.
So instead of being on tenterhooks and worrying about accidents happening from time to time, it would be better to tell Emperor Jiajing about it early and let Emperor Jiajing worry about it himself.
Anyway, to explain this, it was Zhu Zaijing's filial piety, and he did not intend to do such a dangerous thing.
As for how Emperor Jiajing planned to deal with the matter after seeing Zhu Zaijing's secret report, that was also a headache for Emperor Jiajing. He just wanted to make money for the Suxiao Jiuxin Pill.
