Aztec Eternals

v1 Chapter 416: golden altar, fireworks

The sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. The noon sun shone on the Shenwei Priest University, like the gaze of the main god. The golden statue of the Sun Hummingbird stands in the center, shining brightly; the god's mantle holding lightning stands tall and flutters with the wind.

After all, Shenwei University is a religious university, and the logo of the main **** can be seen everywhere. Bright murals are carved on the masonry walls, telling the miracles and legends of the main god. And in the vast school grounds, there are also two lofty altars of the Lord God. One is the gold of the sun god, and the other is the red of the **** of war.

At this moment, dozens of priests and craftsmen are carefully busy on the altar. Hundreds of imperial guards in bronze armor maintained order in the arena. And hundreds of apprentice priests waited solemnly under the altar,

Elaine in the crowd stood on tiptoe and looked at the two altars. Several heavy wooden boxes were piled up on the golden altar, with mud spilling from the wooden boxes, and more than a dozen sealed short bamboos were contained in the boxes. On the red altar, there is a strange huge round paper ball, about six meters in diameter. The bottom of the paper ball can't be seen clearly, it seems that there are some extra arrangements, and there is a turkey with tied chicken feet and "cuckoo" next to it.

"The items on these altars are full of mysterious meaning, like some kind of ritual sacrifice."

Elaine thought in her heart, and finally found the Great Chief Death God. Dressed in solid platinum armor, the warchief strode up to the golden altar, then spoke to Nelko, the oracle priest at the altar.

"The Lord God bless! Are you all ready?"

Shulot asked solemnly.

"Lord God bless! Your Majesty, everything is ready!"

The divine priest Nelko was a little excited. He was originally a senior salt worker in Preepecha, but was later selected by the gods to become the kingdom's gunpowder craftsman and promoted to the first-level **** priest. He prayed devoutly to the Lord God and bowed to the king.

"Praise the Lord God! Praise Your Majesty! According to your instructions, we use tough old bamboo as the release container. First add a sufficient amount of propellant powder into the bamboo tube, and leave one end open. In the propellant powder, buried Many flammable small paper **** are stuffed with the same gunpowder and different mineral powders. As long as the opening fuse is ignited, the gunpowder will eject the paper **** and then ignite, and the grace of the Lord God will be formed, and fireworks of various colors will be formed. ! Holy fireworks!  …”

As Nelco spoke, he pointed to the mark on the bottom of the bamboo tube.

"Your Majesty, look, the bottom of the bamboo tube is marked with the color of the firework, and it also records the added minerals!"

"very good!"

Xiulot smiled and praised. He took out a firework bamboo tube and inspected it carefully for a moment, and it was not much different from the earthen firework he remembered.

Fireworks generally adopt a two-level layered gunpowder structure. The primary structure is to launch gunpowder, which requires higher explosive power to send the simple secondary structure into the sky. The secondary structure is chromophoric gunpowder, which is mixed with various chromogenic agents. The secondary structure of earthen fireworks is relatively simple. If it is a high-altitude firework of later generations, there are special fuzes, priming powder, gunpowder and light beads in the secondary structure.

Of course, for kings, simplified earthen fireworks are enough.

After checking, Xiulot nodded in satisfaction. He personally picked up a firework bamboo tube and gave instructions to Nelco next to him.

"ignition!"

After a moment of silence, hundreds of apprentice priests stared intently at the king and craftsmen on the golden altar. Nelco ignited the fuse, and the king raised the bamboo tube, aiming at the sky. Then, there was a sharp explosion, shocking the audience's ears!

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

On the continent of America, under the eyes of everyone in awe, the first beam of brilliant fireworks rose more than 20 meters into the sky, and then burst into bloom! This is a bunch of red fireworks, just like a red cicada flower, which suddenly blooms in front of everyone's eyes, and then disappears in a flash, leaving only a faint smell of fireworks in the wind!

"Ah! Praise the Lord God!"

A low voice of prayer rang out from the mouths of the onlooker apprentice priests, and then turned into a neat and high-pitched prayer.

"Praise Your Majesty!"

Shulot opened his eyes wide, silently watching the fireworks in the sky. Many long-term memories come to my heart, and I miss it a thousand times, making people linger in dreams. Scenes of New Year's scenes are like frozen photos, but also like unreachable dreams.

The king lowered his eyes, calming down his turbulent emotions. It's been a long time, and he hasn't been so sentimental, and even a little moved.

Nelco on the altar bowed his head and prayed for a moment, then reported back to the king.

"Your Majesty, the red fireworks are filled with lapis lazuli powder."

"Very good!"

Shulot nodded slightly, and all emotions disappeared. The composition of lapis lazuli is strontium sulfate crystals, and strontium salts emit red light when burned, which is the flame reaction mentioned in high school chemistry. Then, he picked up another fireworks bamboo tube marked purple, and ordered in a deep voice.

"ignition!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

After a few breaths, a purple firework bloomed in the sky above, almost blending with the deep sky. The apprentice priests who watched were amazed again, shouting the grace of the Lord God! The fireworks in the daytime are so strange, how gorgeous and colorful are they at night?

"Your Majesty, the purple fireworks are filled with plant ash."

Plant ash is potassium salt, and the flame color reacts light purple when burned. The king paused for a moment, and then picked up the bamboo fireworks marked green.

"ignition!"

Accompanied by deafening explosions, green fireworks bloomed in the sky, against the sky blue background, with a touch of blue. In Mountain Terkos legends, the green flame is a gateway to the land of the dead, able to communicate with the fearsome **** of death.

Yi Lian stared blankly at the strange flames of different colors, her heart was full of awe for the gods, but also with uncontrollable expectations.

"The strange flame is the power of the gods! How did the mysterious Great Chief of Death master it?"

The king stared at the light blue flame, and before Neerko could speak, he whispered.

"Green and blue fireworks, copper powder is added here."

"Exactly! Your Majesty's revelation."

Xiulot stretched out his hand ~lightnovelpub.net~ to touch the next bamboo tube, with a smile on his face.

"Yellow marker, sodium salt."

The king's eyes flickered, and a formula sounded inexplicably. He murmured in a low voice, and Nelco listened attentively, but the strange words were like incantations.

"Purple red lithium, brick red calcium, magenta strontium, yellow green barium, sodium yellow, verdigris, potassium rubidium purple..."

After setting off more than ten bamboo tube fireworks, Xiulot stopped in satisfaction. He looked at the shocked, fearful, pious, and yearning young faces under the altar, and smiled slightly. Then, the king opened his mouth loudly, telling the truth of nature that had been prepared for a long time.

"The Lord God is supreme and great. He formulates the laws of all things, makes the world run, and never violates it. The principles of nature are the supreme principles of the Lord God! There are laws and laws for everything in the world. Only by exploring the principles of nature can we grasp the supreme the great power!"

"The creations of the Divine Enlightenment Institute are all derived from the principles of nature. Today, I will use strange creations to tell you one or two, the mysteries of the gods behind the world!"
