Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order that the Tianjin Shipyard would strive to build this armored warship in the future. In May and June next year, when the American Expeditionary Force set off, several more armored warships could join the ranks of the Expeditionary Force.

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen also issued an order on the spot to draw elite troops from the shipyard and go to Dongwu Shipyard to build a new shipyard for armored warships to build armored warships for the southern navy.

After all this, Emperor Chongzhen was about to return to the capital. Suddenly, the Jinyiwei reported that a big explosion occurred in Princess Taiping's mansion, and both the princess and the princess were injured. More than ten people were killed or injured in the mansion. It is said that an experiment accident occurred.

Hearing this report, Emperor Chongzhen was shocked and rushed back to the capital to check the situation.

The explosion was very disturbing and caused a fire. However, there were Jinyiwei patrols in the capital, and the princess's mansion was responsible for extinguishing the fire. Therefore, the fire was extinguished as soon as possible, and it did not cause much damage.

However, such a big disturbance still caused discussion among the people in the capital. The news spread and it was said to be related to the experiment. Suddenly, many people who were doing the experiment were so scared that they stopped.

There are even some discordant public opinion, saying that the unhealthy trend of the Ming Dynasty made God angry, and thus caused this disaster to warn the world! Such remarks have greatly affected some people. For a moment, local public opinion has overturned the existing knowledge system and returned to the original ones.

When Emperor Chongzhen arrived at the capital, he heard the report from the East Factory that was surveillance of the people. He immediately ordered the East Factory Admiral Chen Baoting, saying: "Those who spread alarmist words have been taken seriously by me, don't miss any of them!"

"I obey the order!" When Chen Baoting heard this, he knew that those people dared to question the emperor's knowledge and were afraid that they would be in trouble, so he quickly responded to the order.

The Jinyiwei entered the Princess' Mansion in large numbers, and Emperor Chongzhen arrived. Everyone was curious and didn't know what this kind of explosion was, and how would the emperor deal with such a thing?

When something happened to her son's mansion, Song Yingxing naturally rushed over to visit the situation. When he heard that the emperor had arrived, he hurried out to greet him. The princess and the princess were injured and inconvenient, so he lay on the bed without getting out.

Emperor Chongzhen, under the leadership of the Jinyiwei, strided heavily in the Prince Consort's Mansion. Song Yingxing, who was following behind, carefully reported: "Your Majesty, this is the situation. The Prince Consort and the Princess invented some new things, and these things exploded. Fortunately, the Prince Consort and the Princess are mostly instructors, and the specific operations have been operated by their apprentices, so they are only injured. However, three apprentices in the laboratory died, two seriously injured, and the remaining seven were slightly injured."

"Do you know what new thing is?" Emperor Chongzhen said, without any sign of being angry, but just asked in detail.

When Song Yingxing heard this, he shook his head subconsciously, and then found that the emperor could not see it, so he quickly replied: "I have just arrived and have not asked in detail."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen did not ask any further questions, because at this time, he had almost arrived at the place.

With the help of the servants, the princess and the princess had already arrived at the door to welcome him.

Seeing that both of them were covered with their heads and even the princess was hanging with one hand, Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly asked them to waive the gift, and after entering the house, he began to ask about the specific situation.

Emperor Chongzhen noticed that the expressions of the two of them were not depressed or afraid, but were a little excited. Emperor Chongzhen saw this and did not speak.

"Father, this is the situation..." Princess Taiping answered Emperor Chongzhen's question and explained in detail the incident.

Emperor Chongzhen heard that Princess Taiping and others used experiments to obtain glycerin from the oil, and then treated the glycerin with nitric acid and sulfuric acid to obtain a yellow oil-like transparent liquid. This new thing was very unstable and caused an explosion.

Hearing this situation, Emperor Chongzhen immediately thought of the four words "nitrifying glycerin". He could be said to have been looking forward to this thing for a long time. If it was really invented by the princess and his wife, it would indicate that in the future, the Ming Dynasty would be invincible in the world.

Of course, even if it is really nitrifying glycerin, there is still a long way to go to become yellow explosives. However, as the most critical step is approaching, this road will be much easier to go.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen further asked about the details of the experiment, even asked about the princess and his wife's leading experiment, and took their data to read it.

To be honest, at present, Emperor Chongzhen was a little unable to catch up with Princess Taiping and his wife in chemistry. Therefore, in some experiments, Princess Taiping still needs to explain it to understand what kind of chemical reaction was carried out in that step.

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen concluded that the yellow oily transparent liquid obtained by Princess Taiping and his wife was probably nitrifying glycerin. So he said to Princess Taiping and the others seriously: "How do you two think about this thing? It's so dangerous. Do you still need to do an experiment to analyze the characteristics of this thing?"

After hearing this, Princess Taiping immediately answered for granted: "Father, you once said that science is a process of exploring the unknown. Since the son-in-law and his wife have invented a brand new thing, even if this thing explodes, so what? Of course, we need to understand this new thing and understand this new thing!"

Hearing this, the prince-consort nodded, and his expression was more of a look of expectation for new things.

Emperor Chongzhen noticed that when Song Yingxing, who was beside him, looked at his son, looked at him with a look of worry on his face when he heard the princess say that they would continue to explore and analyze that new thing.

Emperor Chongzhen pretended that he had not seen this, and as long as the person involved had this spirit, he would feel relieved.

In fact, he was really thinking too much. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the prince consort could not enter politics. The prince consort and the princess had no worries about food and clothing, and there was nothing else to do for them. Therefore, they were interested in chemistry and devoted themselves to this chemical experiment. How could they easily retreat from this chemical experiment?

After Emperor Chongzhen understood the idea of ​​the princess and the prince consort, he smiled and said, "That's right, you two are doing the right thing. If you retreat when you encounter a little danger, you will not be able to achieve great success!"

After receiving the emperor's recognition, Princess Taiping and his wife looked at each other and showed a happy smile.

"I can tell you clearly!" Emperor Chongzhen looked at the couple who had turned back and looked at him, and said in a positive tone, "The unstable explosives invented by you will change the whole world and make great contributions to the Ming Dynasty and even to mankind. I am very pleased with your spirit of scientific exploration. Do it well, protect yourself, and strive to stabilize this explosive, and then study how to control this explosive characteristics in our hands. I am waiting for the day you succeed!"

If the yellow explosives can be successfully developed, human history will be rewritten. Needless to say, the progress of human beings to transform nature will be greatly accelerated. A very simple application is that the difficulty of building railways in the Ming Dynasty will be greatly reduced in the future, and there is no need to have too high requirements for the terrain.

Of course, the powerful yellow explosive is indeed a double-edged sword, but it is just a tool, and what effect this tool can exert is ultimately in the hands of humans. If the yellow explosive may cause great harm to humans and do not use it, humans with this idea will definitely not become the overlord of the earth.

Princess Taiping and his wife did not expect that Emperor Chongzhen's evaluation was so high, and they were all very happy, making them full of confidence and expectation for what they had to do next. The two of them immediately said that they would reassure Emperor Chongzhen, and they would definitely do what the emperor said.

Emperor Chongzhen naturally nodded in encouragement, and then came forward in person to comfort the injured apprentices in the Princess's Mansion. Then, he also told the Jinyiwei that the experimental data on the Princess's Mansion must be kept confidential. Relevant people, etc., were executed according to the highest level of military secrets.

After arranging these, Emperor Chongzhen left the Prince Consort's Mansion. He smiled at Song Yingxing who was following him and said, "In the future, you are very young and you will not be famous anymore, haha..."

It can be seen that he is in a very good mood!

Song Yingxing listened from beginning to end, and naturally understood what the emperor said, and couldn't help but respond with a smile: "It's all the help of your Majesty to be able to do today. You can see that your son can beat his father, and you can wake up laughing in your dreams!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and nodded. This is how the Chinese people are and are very pleased that their children have a future.

After returning to the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen announced that the princess and princesses had made unprecedented breakthroughs in the history of chemistry. If she worked hard, she would definitely bring great changes to the Ming Dynasty, and her achievements were no less than the invention of the steam engine!

As soon as the announcement was spread, it caused a huge sensation.

If at the beginning, ordinary people didn't realize how important the application of steam engines was, then now even children can know the importance of steam engines. Now, the experiments related to the explosion of the princess and princesses actually had such high evaluations, and suddenly, many people were jealous of it.

At this time, many people's concepts immediately changed. What is the explosion? If you can achieve such a huge result, you have to do it even if you sacrifice your life!

In this way, under the endorsement of the emperor, the situation that was originally feared by the dangers of experiments was immediately changed. In order to make a name for themselves and to be famous in history, more people even entered the chemical industry.

Emperor Chongzhen was of course very happy about this situation. However, he did not forget that the people who led this incident had not been dealt with yet.
