Chapter 52 So This Was The Explosion

The information about the primitive orcs is very important. If the beasts have wisdom, it is indeed a bit risky.

But the risk is nothing more than that. Allen heard Windsor explain that the beasts in the beast tide have no armor and are all naked.

They don't have skin as hard as plate armor, but only the will to fear death, which is equivalent to a herd of beasts with blood rage talent. They are not afraid of pain, and they overdraw their bodies to maintain a high speed of movement during battle.

This "blood rage" is not the other blood rage, they do not have the ability to heal wounds, the more they are beaten, the more they are injured, and they may be disabled for half their lives in the end.

A well-equipped orc army only needs to build fortifications in advance to resist the brutal attack of the beast tide.

However, the beast hordes are not always tough and tough. They may bypass the army and sneak attack other towns for the purpose of eating.

Whenever the beast horde ran around unreasonably, the army of the Lionheart Kingdom would rush around, defending the beast horde from various trails, or sending cavalry to quickly support it.

After listening to Windsor's explanation, Allen was a little unsure whether his talent as a beast whisperer could control the beast tide.

The last time he was able to control the beast tide, it was because the beast herd had low intelligence and there was no leader of the beasts. He only had to talk nonsense and promise their future vision, and the ignorant beasts immediately recognized him as the leader.

If there is a beast king, the situation will be different. Instead of trusting humans who understand the language of beasts, it is better to obey the orders of the beast king, so it is not easy for him to control the beast tide.

But who knows if you haven't tried it, Allen feels that he can give it a try.

"In case the beast tide pushes us here, we may have to move the village..." Windsor said this, with a worried look on his face.

"You don't have to worry too much about this. Today's black powder factory has initially built a cement room that can shelter from wind and rain. Let me show you the power of black powder." Allen said confidently.

Black powder is made for gun ammunition, and hand grenades by the way.

Of course, the gunpowder factory has just been completed, and no slaves know how to make gunpowder. He needs to teach the orcs on the spot how to make black powder.

After a while, Allen came to the gunpowder factory and instructed the slaves to remember the ratio of black powder.

Black gunpowder has a ratio of "one sulfur, two nitrates and three carbons", that is, sulfur 10%, potassium nitrate 75%, and potassium nitrate 15%.

Of course, the above is not the best ratio. The best ratio has a decimal point. Allen doesn't have a precise measuring instrument here, so he can only make a rough estimate.

If you want to make black gunpowder, you must first purify the saltpeter. The simplest method is the crystallization method. Put the natural saltpeter into the water, dissolve the saltpeter at high temperature, filter the insoluble matter after saturation, cool the filtrate, and filter the precipitated substances. Because the main component of saltpeter is Potassium nitrate, theoretically repeat the purification steps several times.

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about charcoal. The surrounding area of ​​Datie Village is full of trees, and there is no shortage at all.

The sulfur in Datie Village comes from the extinct volcano on the right side of the mine in the south, where there are a large number of volcanic sulfur mines, if the raw sulfur is heated to [-] degrees, the sulfur in the mine will melt, filter the insoluble matter and continue heating, stirring constantly, to vaporize some impurities Evaporate, boil the sulfur at [-] degrees, collect the sulfur gas, cool down and solidify the sulfur gas, and get relatively pure sulfur.

The principle is probably like this. Windsor on the side heard the misty anyway, so he can only bite the bullet and remember every step of the operation.

Due to the danger of black powder, Allen also emphasized that this thing will explode, so everyone should be careful. When pounding gunpowder, you can't use metal rods to pound it, you must use wooden sticks. Gunpowder exploded.

Everyone heard that gunpowder would explode, but they had no specific feeling about the word explosion. It was not until Allen said that explosion would kill people that the orc slaves operated carefully.

Even so, these slaves still didn't have the danger awareness of walking on the line of life and death, because everyone couldn't understand what an "explosion" was.

Allen described the power of gunpowder as thunder in the sky. The slaves still didn't believe that the things they made were comparable to thunder.

The sun gradually descends from the very center to the horizon, and the moon rises and sets.

next morning.Allen went back to the gunpowder factory to inspect again, and saw workers using wooden sticks to grind sulfur, saltpeter crystals, and charcoal into fine powder, and then mix the three things in a small bowl according to a specific weight ratio.

After a while, black granule powder formed.

When the orcs saw the gunpowder taking shape, their tails swayed slightly, forming a question mark, and looked at Allen eagerly, waiting for his explanation.

Allen looked at a few grains of gunpowder, and slowly said: "The gunpowder in Wangcheng is in powder form, the burning speed cannot be controlled, and there are a lot of impurities. The ratio of the three raw materials is not the best ratio, and the power is very poor.

What we produce here is granular gunpowder. The burning speed of the gunpowder can be controlled by the size and quantity of the particles. The proportion of the formula is also close to perfect, and there are few impurities. The power is much better than that in Wangcheng. "

There is no basis for the words, and everyone didn't realize that Alan's black powder was a few streets ahead of Wangcheng. They only felt that Alan was a little too proud.

Where is Wangcheng?
It is a sacred place integrating politics, economy, and culture. It is the headquarters of the Temple of the Lion Heart Kingdom. Every beastman in the royal city is a nobleman of a few ranks. No one thinks that Allen can surpass the royal city. At most, it is Allen's technology. It was brought from Wangcheng.

The other orcs didn't dare to speak their minds. As the deputy village head, Windsor had to complain a little.

It can be imagined that Allen's water wheel boring machine has mastered the power of the goddess of water, and the appearance of the steam engine even trembled the mother of the earth, and she swallowed her psychological words.

Although Wangcheng represents greatness and is a place favored by the gods, Alan is also favored by the gods. It is really hard to say who is more powerful.

"Go, go outside and try some black powder."

The slave moved a box of granulated black powder outside, and then ordered someone to bring a small ceramic jar, put the black powder into the jar, and tamp it with a small wooden stick until the gunpowder could no longer be filled, then covered it with a porcelain plate, and covered it with the backhand. Then put some black powder on the ground and introduce it into the porcelain pot from the outside.

After completing these operations, the slave handed over the sulfur match, and Allen was going to use the match to scrape the flint to ignite the match, and then ignite the black powder pot in the distance through the black powder on the ground.

Gunpowder burns extremely quickly in a narrow space and will cause an explosion. Allen scratched it a few times, and the small flame on the match burned quietly. Smoke and flames moved forward like a small snake.

Their ears are sensitive, they can hear the whistling sound of the black powder burning rapidly, and they immediately make a wow sound, and the orcs who don't have a question mark tail also put up a question mark tail, and some orcs even forgot Allen's burning warning , rushed forward and wanted to run faster with Gunpowder.

Seeing the ignorant orc running towards the powder can, Allen shouted, "Come back, that thing is going to explode."

The running orc stopped when he heard Alan's voice, but instead of rushing back immediately, he retreated slowly.

The ignorant are fearless, Alan has nothing to say, only a thunderous explosion can scare the ignorant orcs.

Behind Allen, Windsor covered the two cat ears on her head early on, her eyes were wide open, staring at the pot full of black powder.

Just now she saw the speed at which the gunpowder burned, and it burned very fast.

Seeing an orc chasing black powder, Windsor also yelled back, but within three seconds of shouting, she saw a scene she would never forget.

I saw the burning "snake" jump into the clay pot, and the next moment, the pot was shattered by an unknown force, and then the light was born!

"boom--"

The intense light quickly disappeared, and the sound of thunder exploded ahead.

The ears of the orcs rushing to the front line were clenched, filled with violent voices, their heads seemed to be hit by a hammer, their bodies swayed and fell to the ground, dizzy.

The orcs next to Allen didn't fall to the ground, but their faces turned pale and their legs were shaking.

The ground is also shaking, and the shaking is very obvious!

It is Mother Earth, who is more afraid than when the steam engine is running!
The orcs with poor knowledge gasped. It turned out that this was an "explosion".

　Well, let’s write for now, forget about no one.
