Chapter 671 Granular Gunpowder
"Saltpeter and sulfur are both right, great. Add the charcoal from the territory, and the raw materials are complete."
It is worth mentioning that "one saltpeter, two sulfur, and three charcoal" is a simplified chemical equation: S+2KNO3+3C=K2S+N2+3CO2. Don't learn from entertainment works. Use one pound of saltpeter, two pounds of sulfur, and three pounds of charcoal. What you make is really like fireworks, and the enemy will laugh to death.
According to the weight ratio, it should be 75%:10%:15%.
Charcoal is used to ease combustion. The more sulfur accounts for, the more suitable it is for making explosives to open mines.
After understanding the principle, changing the ratio will get different effects.
After determining the raw materials, Field plans to skip black powder and go directly to granular gunpowder. There is only a knowledge threshold between the two, no technical threshold.
Field hooked his finger: "Come, let me see, who has the best hand."
The women stretched out their hands one after another, and the scene was full of brilliance.
After a quick glance, Field said shamelessly: "Okay, okay, your hands are so beautiful, it's a pity not to use them for work."
He directly stuffed the raw materials and grinding tools into the hands of the girls: "Come, grind them into powder."
"???" Everyone was confused.
With the help of the Chosen One, grinding the raw materials into powder is a piece of cake.
"Next, it's no different from kneading dough."
Field mixed the powder according to the measured proportions and added water to make it into a black cake.
"Why add water? Is this a magical alchemy technique?" The little fox asked curiously, "Sir, didn't you say that the things you make will burn?"
"First, it can prevent fires during the production process, and second, in order to make the saltpeter become a solution, fully mixed into the charcoal, and help combustion."
If you don't understand the principle, few people would think that gunpowder, which symbolizes flames and explosions, actually needs to be added with water.
After mixing, Field placed the "flour ball" next to the little sun. After it was dried to remove moisture and condensed into blocks, it was crushed into wheat grains with stones.
"Okay, the granular gunpowder is done."
Grains of wheat-shaped gunpowder piled up in piles.
Filominae raised her eyebrows and said disapprovingly: "The next step is to send it to the mill and make it into bread? It has no unique fragrance, and I'm afraid the enemy will not be tempted to eat it."
"It can't be eaten."
Field slapped Ashina's hand. This greedy guy actually wanted to dip some and taste it.
"I know, this is fireworks. It's very interesting. I've seen fireworks at banquets." Rosaria covered her mouth and chuckled.
"The principle is similar."
"You come with me, and bring the army."
After a simple test to flash, Field poured the gunpowder into the ceramic jar prepared in advance. Add iron sheets and steel balls, and then stuff it with sheepskin.
Everyone came to the border of the Viscount's territory, where there would be no people watching.
The soldiers and officers of the army were watching from a distance with curiosity.
"What is your Excellency doing?"
"I don't know, but what your Excellency makes must be good stuff."
The soldiers thought of the earth-shaking changes in their living conditions and had unconditional trust in their lord.
"Report, a rotten corpse smelled the smell of living things and was attracted here!" The cavalry in charge of vigilance came back to report.
"It's just in time, we can use it for experiments."
Field asked everyone to stay away and saw a large number of rotten corpses approaching quickly or slowly. Finding the right time, Field ignited the gunpowder powder that served as a fuse, turned around and ran to a safe place.
"What is this doing?" Feiluominai really couldn't imagine it, and just felt confused.
There was no chanting of spells, no feeling of divine power or fighting spirit fluctuations, and even no holding a jar and smashing it on the head of the rotten corpse.
The soldiers were also confused.
Just when Feiluominai was thinking about whether to take action to get rid of the rotten corpse.
"Boom!"
Everyone present only felt a flash in front of their eyes.
The thunderous roar and explosion directly made the soldiers lose their minds.
As white smoke rose, the corpses near the gunpowder jars suddenly fell to the ground as if they were hit by an invisible dump truck. Those who were a little further away were hit by the flying iron pieces and steel balls and trembled violently.
The most unlucky corpse had its head blown off.
The soil and decayed secretions were blown high and scattered like rain.
"Fuck, is it fighting skills or magic?"
A fighting knight exclaimed: "Such a fast speed, I didn't even feel the fighting spirit fluctuations."
"Is it that jar that stores fighting skills?"
"No, this is obviously not a fighting skill."
For the first time, Feiluominai was shocked.
The explosion just now was far inferior to her casual attack. But Field did not use any skills, and of course did not use magic. How did he do it?
The extraordinary power of the territory was just surprise and confusion. The ordinary soldiers were already shaking with their legs, and they were almost kneeling and kowtowing.
"God's punishment? It must have been God's punishment just now."
"Your Excellency no longer needs to chant spells to use magic. You must have obtained the authority of God."
Everyone started to discuss enthusiastically. Most of them were excited and happy. Nothing was more powerful than the lord, which made everyone happy.
Filominai came to the center of the explosion and took a glance. She understood what Field meant when he said "gunpowder weapons are a bit like you".
Looking at the rotten corpse at the center of the explosion, it died miserably, with broken hands and feet, and smoke coming out of its body.
"How is it? It's an interesting little thing, right?" Field walked over with a smile.
"It can kill effectively and bring fear. You are worthy of being the one who can contract with me. You can actually create explosions in incredible ways."
Surprisingly, Feiluominai did not feel like losing. Instead, she turned around and showed a rare warm smile: "I can feel the light and heat, Field, I allow you to be my follower and bring destruction to the world."
"???"
Field was dumbfounded. It turned out that your mind was still full of thoughts of destroying the world. And you invited me to join you. It's too scary.
"Also, don't be disrespectful. What follower, call me adult." Field didn't indulge her and went up to hit her head.
Feiluominai dodged and suddenly had an idea: "Field, how about making more, spreading across the continent, and then blowing the world up? My destructive power is limited, but you don't."
"In theory, it's possible, but this technology is not mature yet. Perhaps there is a better formula."
"As long as we keep improving, we can really do it."
Field is not so arrogant that he can eliminate magic, fighting spirit and the terrifying Chosen Ones by taking out gunpowder.
Even in the future, it is not easy to artificially create earthquakes and tsunamis. It is difficult to eliminate the flying Chosen Ones with gunpowder.
Besides, why do we need to defeat the elimination magic or the Chosen Ones?
