Chapter 317 The Cage

 Fire Thunder Stone?

This name fits the occasion...

When it explodes, the fire is dazzling and the sound is like thunder, so it is very appropriate to call it a fire stone.

However, I have searched my mind and cannot find any information related to this.

I was pretty sure this was the first time I heard about this thing, so I became interested and asked questions again and again.

"Actually, I don't know much..."

Brother Yaozi shook his head and said: "I heard it from a buddy before. This guy is a rare and fastidious person in the industry of fighting. Every tomb that passes through his hands will not only take away the property, but will also always be held accountable.

Some foundations, such as the history of the tomb, the owner, etc., in his words... If a knowledgeable donor knows this and can speak eloquently, the object will appear valuable, and only in this way can it command a higher price.

Later, he came across a tomb that he couldn't explain. This tomb was very old, and it was a large tomb. There were many bronzes in it, all of which were very important. Judging from the age, the tomb should be from the Spring and Autumn Period.

, In addition, Dou came from Hubei. At first, he suspected that it was Dou from Chu, but there were some strange patterns on the bronze. He was also an expert, and he had never seen anything from Chu with such an answer.

After looking for a lot of people and asking for advice from many masters, I finally settled on a small country called Fu. This country was sandwiched between Qin and Chu. It was a typical state of Qin and Chu. Later, it was slowly annexed by Chu and disappeared.

's silently.

That bucket was the tomb of a nobleman from the last generation of the Zhou Dynasty. It was very well made. The sarcophagus and bronze coffin were arranged in a way that had never been seen before. There was almost a vacuum inside. When the coffin was opened, the owner of the tomb looked lifelike. As a result, they just looked at it.

After just one glance, the coffin exploded. Three or four people were broken into pieces, and they couldn't put it together. There were such small stones in the coffin. Later, he checked many bamboo slips buried with him in the ancient tomb and found out that this was

It was poured out by a qi refiner from the country of Fang. It is said that it was made by burning Glauber's salt, then adding mercury, and mixing wine back and forth. The process seems to be very complicated, and there are some weird formulas. You know, qi refiner

This is the predecessor of the cultivator, and it is a very strange method.

That guy didn’t know the name of this thing, so he named it himself, Fire Thunder Stone, but the stone seemed to be gray, and we didn’t know for sure. He only said it to me when he drank too much and bragged about it.

I just heard about this incident and thought that this kind of thing was just a flash in the pan. Maybe it would never appear in other tombs except the tomb he met..."

"Burning Glauber's Salt? And added wine?"

Zhang Xinya suddenly said: "Stop muttering there, can you bring that thing over and show it to me? I was so stunned at first that I didn't pay attention at all!"

I saw that she had a strange look on her face, and vaguely thought of something, so I hurriedly handed the small stone to her. Brother Yaozi had no hope. He talked for a long time, making some nonsense. The whole article was like, probably, really.

The credibility is not high. He stared at Zhang Xinya eagerly. In fact, he just wanted to find out. It is impossible to be beaten severely but not know who is behind it, right?

Zhang Xinya held the small stone carefully, looked at it for a long time, then clicked on the lighter and burned it with fire.

Lao Bai, who was lying half-dead on the ground, screamed "Fuck!" and ran out, rolling and crawling. He was more happy than a wild donkey going crazy.

I was also so frightened that my face turned green, and I had only one thought in my mind - I haven't provoked her recently, and judging from her age, she doesn't look like she is going through menopause. Is it necessary to drag us together and die together?

Although I don’t know why, this small stone didn’t explode before, but if you put it on fire, it will definitely explode!!

I put my head in my hands and lay down on the ground. There was no movement for a long time. When I looked up, I saw that the small stone was actually on fire. It really didn't explode!!

"How dare you all?"

Zhang Xinya threw away the small stone in her hand expressionlessly and sighed: "What fire thunder stone? This is mercury fulminate!!"

To make this kind of thing is not to burn Glauber's salt. Glauber's salt is saltpeter. In fact, he should have obtained nitric acid by distilling saltpeter. This is the earliest way to prepare nitric acid. According to written records, an Arab alchemist in the eighth century AD

This method was used to make nitric acid. Qi practitioners don't like to leave written records like alchemists. It's not something to make a fuss about if they accidentally made this thing earlier. It really has no technical content. I guess it was accidentally made.

There are many people who have produced this thing, but at that time they had no idea what they had done.

Once you get nitric acid, it's easy. You can directly use mercury and nitric acid to make mercury nitrate, and then react with the ethanol in the wine to make mercury greys. The purity is definitely not high enough, and it can be regarded as a firecracker at best.

There is nothing strange about this thing. Those Qi practitioners in ancient times could produce black powder, so accidentally pouring out gray thunder mercury was nothing!

But the stuff we used to bomb us is different. It's very pure. Hydrochloric acid and copper should be added to it to directly create mercury. Under normal circumstances, this stuff is very unstable, but this tomb is completely vacuum.

There were explosion conditions, so they were preserved. It’s really...luck that we didn’t get killed!!"

After saying this, she gently patted the damp wall of the tomb passage and said, "Let us rest assured. If the moisture content in the air exceeds 10%, this thing will not explode. At most, it will burn. If the moisture content exceeds 10%, it will burn."

Third, it won't burn. It's just a piece of rock candy at most. This place is too humid and it's impossible to explode.

I looked at the small stone with lingering fear and said, "Can you put out the fire first? We can discuss everything easily. There is no need to act like a martyr holding a pack of explosives and die together. It's too fierce and I can't bear it!"

Zhang Xinya shook her head helplessly and said that I had read the book in vain. I must at least believe in science.

I originally wanted to say that even if I studied hard, the teacher would never teach me how to make bombs, but after she looked at me with disdain, I still didn’t say the words that came to my lips. I could only lower my head and silently shed the tears of a scumbag.

What else can I say? These days, robbing a tomb if you don’t read well is almost like giving away someone’s head!

"It was indeed a lucky chance that I saved my life."

Brother Yaozi was also very emotional, maybe because of his natural vigilance, he still said: "However, this is not quite right. Why did the tomb door open at this time? Could it be..."

I know what he wants to say. Various clues show that Prince Shui’s group is also in this tomb. Even that bastard Xing Wei is very likely to be here too. These things are staying under the same roof as us. What do you think?

They can't live in peace.

But I thought about it and finally shook my head. If I were Lord Shui, how could I open the door to the tomb? Wouldn’t it be nice to lock us in the courtyard and blow us up to death? Why do we have to complicate things? Shui and I

I have been in contact with the prince, and he is definitely a decisive master who will not leave you any time to breathe, just to let you watch his showmanship. So I said, there are two slides in this tomb door, and I want to open it.

If so, you must find the correct position, push the tomb door back and slide the other one up, and then pull it open. A tomb door like this involves the cooperation of many pulleys and levers. When it is subject to huge vibrations, it will

It is very possible that the tomb door will open naturally under the action of the pulley block.

Let me see, this tomb door was accidentally opened during the explosion.

As for our current location, it should be in the tomb passage leading to the front hall. As long as we pass through this section of the tomb passage, we may be able to see the body of Concubine Yang.

"Still be careful and wait!"

Brother Yaozi sighed softly and said, "Let's see if my uncle and the others can arrive safely. This situation is not something that we can handle..."

Boom!!

Suddenly, a huge roar came from the courtyard outside.

I sat on the ground and could clearly feel the ground shaking.

This was not an explosion, but the courtyard outside completely collapsed.

Then... the tomb passage became obviously dark.

The gap that opened the tomb door was actually blocked by a falling boulder!

When I turned my head and saw this scene, my face instantly turned ugly...
