Chapter 129 Sweet Potato Mine
"I also need to go!"
Bai Xin finally saw Ye Qi and the others coming over, and he quickly walked up to him and said.
"You are not allowed to refuse!" Seeing Ye Qi's eyebrows slightly frowned and looking like he was about to refuse, he quickly glared at him and said.
Ye Qi was instantly embarrassed and could only nod in agreement. Seeing this, the people behind him all lowered their heads and tried not to laugh.
"Rifle, let's go!" Seeing that Ye Qi no longer objected, Bai Xin grabbed the rifle and walked straight forward.
When they arrived at Dibian Village, they saw the destroyed village, the messy rooms, and the looted poultry and livestock pens, and they were furious.
"It's really abominable!" Mo Tian said viciously.
Bai Xin held the rifle and looked around with Ye Qi. The village was backed by steep cliffs on both sides, and there was only one road connecting it to Nanliang. It could not be considered a road, but because of the low-lying area connected by the mountains, Nanliang needed to climb up from the valley at the foot of the mountain and pass through the defensive thorn bushes specially planted here to enter.
"It's really hard for them. They have cut a path through the thorn bushes!" Li Ze couldn't help but sneer as he looked at the scattered thorn bushes in front of him.
"This kind of thing can only defend against gentlemen, but not against intentional invaders!" Bai Xin also sneered.
"Then, what are you going to do next?" Bai Xin asked Ye Qi, who was standing beside him with cold eyes and silent.
"Remember this first. Once I have dealt with Xichang, I will never keep them here again!" Ye Qi said coldly.
"Let's arrange a team of people to stay here. After we deal with Xichang, we will come back to deal with them!"
Bai Xin looked at Ye Qi, thought for a moment, and said, "You don't know when they will come next time. It's a waste of troops to just sit there and wait!"
Ye Qi looked at her with twinkling eyes: "Xin'er, do you have any method?"
"Yeah!" Bai Xin nodded slightly.
Ye Qi looked at her with a smile in his eyes. He wanted to hear how Xin'er and the others had solved this problem.
Seeing everyone looking at her, she chuckled and said, "Since they like climbing thorn bushes so much, why not plant something in the ground!"
"What are you planting?" Xu Rong and Mo Tian, two curious kids, asked at the same time.
"Sweet Potato Mine!" Bai Xin said with a smile, this was a name she came up with on the spur of the moment.
Li Ze couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking it would be better to call it Potato Thunder.
Sweet potato mine? "Everyone became even more curious
"What is that?" Mo Tian asked Bai Xin curiously.
"It's hard to explain right away. That night, you can ask someone to buy what I want. Li Ze and I will teach you how to make sweet potato mines. How about that?"
Bai Xin looked at Ye Qi and said, Ye Qi looked at her with a smile on his face, thinking that this girl was going to tinker with weird things again.
"Okay!" Ye Qi nodded.
Bai Xin gave him a happy look and sighed in her heart, thinking that she hadn't hugged him properly for a long time.
"Also, you can form a militia in the village. You can teach them basic defense techniques. Both men and women can participate."
"In addition to working, you can also perform daily patrols and guard duties. If bad guys come, you can also fight off one or two!" Bai Xin continued.
Border guarding relies on both garrison troops and local residents. After all, they are familiar with the terrain and can form a more effective defense for border guarding.
"Militia? How can women participate?" Zhong Shu objected for a moment.
"Defending the country is for everyone, regardless of gender!" Bai Xin did not agree with him.
Zhong Shu was speechless and could only shut up in disappointment.
"What do you think about that night?" Bai Xin looked at him and asked.
"Well, you can try it!" Ye Qi said after thinking about it.
After all, now in the camp, in addition to allowing Bai Xin to join the army as a military doctor, he also allowed other female doctors with the surname Xia to join the camp. Now that the precedent has been set, it is not a bad idea to make new attempts.
Bai Xin smiled secretly. This guy's ability to accept things is getting stronger and stronger. That's not bad. When more weapons that will help him strengthen his army slowly come out, she will be able to rest assured.
After returning to the camp, Ye Qi purchased saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, and narrow-mouthed earthenware jars and bottles according to her requirements.
Bai Xin and Li Ze, along with a few soldiers, were making their sweet potato mines.
"Doctor Bai Xin, is the fire big enough?" Two soldiers set fire to the large ceramic jar modified by Bai Xin!
"Well, very good!" Bai Xin nodded and praised.
The two soldiers got approval and worked harder to make the fire.
"The power of this pottery jar must be very ordinary!" Li Ze filled the pottery jar with purified molten stone, carbon powder, sulfur, added sugar according to the proportion, and then put wax paper on it.
"Why don't we try it first?" Bai Xin said.
"Let's give it a try!" Li Ze said, carrying the loaded land mine, walked away from the crowd, to the river bank, and carefully dug a small hole and set it up.
Bai Xin followed behind him, holding the sulfuric acid taken out from the laboratory. After watching him set it up, he used a dropper to gently drop a few drops of sulfuric acid onto the wax paper, and then gently plugged the stopper in place.
The two men evacuated quickly. After they were far away, Li Ze used the prepared long pole to slightly push the mine. The mine tilted slightly and sulfuric acid entered the tank.
"Boom!" There was a muffled sound, a flash of fire, and sand and soil splashed everywhere. The two men were unable to dodge and were splashed all over.
It was successful, but seeing the other person's embarrassing look, I couldn't stop laughing.
"Although the power is average, it is enough to make them lose their combat effectiveness!" Bai Xin said to Li Ze.
"It's okay. If it is replaced with iron in the future, it will have better sealing and be more powerful!" Li Ze said after thinking about it.
The two were talking to themselves but didn't notice that the noise scared the people in the medical tent, and they all came out and looked at them in astonishment.
When he heard the sound of the rifle and was frightened to sob, before he could look back, Bai Xin's arm was pulled by someone and he leaned into the person's arms.
"Ye, Ye Qi!" Bai Xin looked at the person in front of her with a smile on her face, but she found that the person in front of her was very angry, and the hand that was holding her was trembling slightly.
"Well, the two of us just want to try out the power of this sweet potato mine!" Bai Xin quickly explained.
"Why do you try it yourself when it's so dangerous!?" Ye Qi looked at her angrily.
"No one else will do that!" Bai Xin looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I know my limits!"
Bai Xin didn't dare say to his face that science requires a spirit of dedication.
At this time, Mo Tian, Xu Rong and two soldiers ran over, cupped their hands and said, "Madam, if there is such a dangerous thing in the future, let us do it!"
The fire just now was really scary. Everyone looked at the pit created by the explosion and broke out in a cold sweat when they recalled it.
I didn’t understand it before, but now that I see it, I realize that the sweet potato mines that Bai Xin and Li Ze are dealing with are so scary.
The lady actually tried such a scary thing herself. If anything went wrong, I dare not imagine the consequences.
"Indeed, this is what you all have to do from now on!" Bai Xin looked at them and said.
Bai Xin is not a fearless person. They will have to learn to load these things themselves in the future.
"Yes!" Several people clasped their fists and accepted the order.
“Madam…!” Another scream came from a soldier in the front.
