Emperor Song & Chinese Alchemists Make Gun Powder
In the early 1000's up in northern China gun powder was invented. Emperor Song had made many advancements and inventions during his rule but gun powder was by far the greatest.
Chinese Alchemists made gun powder by mistake. They were in the process of making an immortality potion but wound up making the deadliest weapon yet.
The Mongols were trying to invade China during that time period and the Alchemists were trying to make the immortality potion so that their warriors wouldn't die in war. But when they found out they made an explosive, they were just as happy as if it was an explosive.
