Next, the mojiazi demonstrated several failed military ink techniques, each of which opened the eyes of craftsmen and benefited a lot, while businessmen were even more excited. These failed military ink techniques are very practical for civil use. Once mass production, they will certainly sell well in the Tang Dynasty.
"In addition to the failed military ink technology that can be used for civilian use, there is another military ink technology that can be used for civilian use, that is, the weakened version of military ink technology." Merton said lightly, but it was like a grenade thrown into the venue, causing an uproar.
"The weakened version of military ink technology is not military ink technology!" everyone couldn't help but for a while. No one thought that the ink family really dared to make military ink technology public. Both the military dual-use ink technology and the failed military ink technology have no lethality, while the weakened version of military ink technology is not. Although it is a weakened version, it is a real military ink technology and a real killing technology.
Merton didn't seem to see the shocked faces of the people, but continued: "the most powerful military ink technology is gunpowder."
"Gunpowder!"
Everyone knew the importance of gunpowder. Since the Mohist School destroyed the city in Gaochang, gunpowder has become the first of hundreds of soldiers, and its power is well known all over the world.
"Isn't it...?" the people in the ink technology exhibition ignored it, and an incredible idea suddenly appeared in their hearts. Is it that the so-called weakened version of military ink technology in the mouth of Mohists is gunpowder.
"The boy's ink technique at the bottom of the box can't be a lighter!" Li Shimin smiled knowingly, thinking that he guessed Merton's card was the lighter he showed him.
However, the next scene made him sweat. Merton continued: "enough gunpowder can break the city, and what's the use of a little gunpowder?"
"Hiss!"
Everyone took a breath, and his hair stood up. He couldn't believe it. No one could believe that the Mexican family really weakened the gunpowder.
"This boy is bold!" in the box, Li Shimin was furious. Because of gunpowder, the Mo family has been assassinated twice in a row. Doesn't he know the importance of gunpowder? He dares to open gunpowder! "
However, out of his trust in Merton, he still forced himself to bear his body shape and wanted to see how Mohist Zi used the weakened version of gunpowder.
"Tens of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder is enough to break the city in one stroke, and what's the use of a penny of gunpowder?" Merton asked.
Everyone laughed. If it was tens of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder, they must be on pins and needles, but I'm afraid a penny of gunpowder can only let him see sparks, which has no lethality at all.
Under the attention of the public, Merton reached out and Wu Meiniang, the eldest martial sister of the Mohist school, came to the stage and presented a palm sized carton with one hand.
Di Renjie on the side couldn't help but draw from the corners of his mouth. He just carried a heavy stainless steel onto the stage and was as tired as a dead dog, while Wu Meiniang was holding a light cardboard box. He was sure that Wu Meiniang was trapped again.
Merton took the carton, moved his thumb gently, pushed out a paper drawer, took out a small wooden stick and made a slight stroke. Suddenly, a bright flame was reflected in the eyes of everyone.
A little gunpowder was quickly ignited, and then the small wooden stick was ignited. After a few seconds, the flame went out.
"That's it..." everyone was stunned. I'm afraid even children are not afraid of the power of this little flame.
"No, it can't be so simple!"
Everyone frowned. They didn't believe that the ink technique of pressing the bottom of the box was so simple.
As mojiazi continued to repeat his previous actions, small wooden sticks were lit and extinguished. Unexpectedly, there was only a little power of fire.
"This is fire!" suddenly, he was surprised.
"Kindling!" they suddenly realized, and their eyes lit up.
The trouble of ordinary people making a fire goes without saying, and it is often extinguished. Usually, it is not easy for a family to raise a fire, and others come to light a fire one after another.
The MOH family had a whim that they should use extremely flammable gunpowder as a fire. It is extremely convenient to cause a fire with a gentle wipe. If this method is popularized, it will certainly benefit thousands of people.
Merton nodded and said, "yes, this is the fire. Mo uses a small firewood and is contaminated with a little gunpowder. Therefore, he is called a match. He can make a fire with only one touch. It is simple and easy to use. In the future, people all over the world will have no difficulty in making a fire."
With Merton's gesture, one by one, the children of the Mohists distributed a box of matches to all the audience attending the ink technology exhibition. At present, many people imitated Merton's behavior and easily ignited a match.
"It's so convenient!"
People looked at the flame that easily appeared in front of them and felt the warmth brought by the flame. A trace of surprise was revealed in everyone's eyes. In the Tang Dynasty, from top officials and nobles to ordinary people, ignition at night was nothing more than a fire fold and sickle. Ignition was very difficult, which was a problem in the world.
The appearance of matches can be said to be a great convenience for people's life. No one thought that gunpowder, which is powerful in military, would shine equally in civil use and benefit the world.
Li Shimin looked at the extinguished match in his hand, and a tangled color appeared on his face. On the one hand, it was the gunpowder that shocked the world, on the other hand, it was the matches that benefited the world, which made him very tangled. Weapons and people's livelihood can't have both!
"Don't worry, your majesty. The match gunpowder made by mohou is different from the gunpowder in the army. If someone really uses match gunpowder as military gunpowder, I'm afraid it will only go astray." Bingjing Si Deng said respectfully in the box.
He often knew the composition of gunpowder in the firearms prison. This gunpowder is not the same gunpowder. The MOH family just borrowed the characteristics of gunpowder to search for combustibles to make match gunpowder. What has been weakened can no longer be weakened. Although the match gunpowder of mojiazi is also flammable, its composition is very different. It has no power of gunpowder, and it is very easy to cause accidents. It can be used for ignition. It is wishful thinking to use it to crack gunpowder.
"This boy! He bluffed me." Li Shimin said with gnashing teeth. He didn't expect that mojiazi would continuously make two kinds of fire taking tools, one is a lighter and the other is a match. Now the lighter is expensive and the output is scarce, and the match is only a small wooden stick and a little gunpowder. Although it is not easy to use and waterproof without a lighter, it is enough for ordinary people to ignite.
The invited merchants were excited. Everyone in the world needs kindling. The emergence of matches has become a necessary thing for people all over the world. The business opportunities are self-evident. Now what they really care about is the price of matches.
"There are 90 matches in a box, which is enough for a family to use for one month. Ten boxes of matches are a pack, and one pack of matches is a Kaiyuan Tongbao." Merton said the price gently, and the whole audience was in an uproar.
Matches are so cheap that a penny's worth of matches can be used for half a year. I'm afraid that once the matches are out, the commonly used fire folds and sickles on the market are destined to be eliminated.
"As soon as the match comes out, the fire will surely spread all over the world, and there will be no bitterness and cold in the Tang Dynasty." a scholar said excitedly.
"Gunpowder, matches!"
Many people's minds are hard to understand. They don't have gunpowder for killing. They can be improved to bring warmth to the people all over the world.
"Military ink technology is not only a killing technology, but also can benefit all the people in the world. Mo once again promised that the military ink technology developed by the Mohists is used to guard the Tang Dynasty and benefit the world in the future." Merton said proudly.
This time, no one questioned the Mohist school. Merton has conquered all the audience with military ink techniques that benefit the people all over the world.
"May the world not attack!"
Merton sighed and bowed around to officially end the ink exhibition.
