Around the kettle were sacks filled with grain every few meters, as well as thin tin buckets filled with water or mud and sealed with lids, and a small wooden wall erected on the ground, nailed with five-centimeter-thick pieces of wood.

The bottle, known as the kettle, has a visual capacity of about 2,000 milliliters, a small mouth, and a large belly, filled with a mixture.

Everyone scattered to a few dozen meters away, and even the gods rushed over to see the excitement, the elf was wearing a tight leather jacket and a short leather skirt, and stepped on thin boots, which was the non-combat attire of the elf for daily outings, which caused everyone at the scene to forget about the explosion for a while, and all eyes were focused on her.

This atmosphere made everyone a little inexplicably nervous, only Thomas and his disgraced alchemy disciples were full of irrepressible excitement.

The task of detonating the detonation was given to the eldest disciple Matthew, probably because he was too excited, and he fell when he bent the cloud lead and ran back, but fortunately he was still nimble, and immediately got up and ran back, so fast that it was mistaken for a pack of jungle wolves chasing behind his ass - the kind in the Black Curse Forest.

To be on the safe side, the length of the lead detonation strip was reserved long enough, and as Matthew approached the crowd, a loud bang came from behind him, causing him to fall to the grass in spite of it.

The actual explosion is different from what was imagined, there is no huge fire, it doesn't care about the visuals, it only focuses on destruction.

The only thing that is the same is the large cloud of black smoke rising up.

Everyone covered their heads and squatted on the ground, this was a knee-jerk reaction, and it was also related to the dust and debris scattered in the air, even at such a distance, the air wave caused by the shock wave still hit the face, scraping people's faces painfully.

Before the smoke and dust cleared, Bai Xuan stood up and walked towards the center of the explosion, observing the status of objects at different distances along the way, while the others followed him in surprise, not yet figuring out what was happening.

The explosion was more than 30 meters away, and the bucket was blown down and barely deformed, and further inside, the bucket was scattered far away, badly deformed or broken, water and mud splashed everywhere, sacks torn, and grain spilled all over the ground.

The wooden wall, which was five meters away, was completely shattered, leaving the broken wooden stakes to stand on the ground and burn.

The bottle's original location turned into a large crater, and it was steaming.

"This is the power of the explosion? God above, this is simply thunder. "Dong Lei's face turned white, probably because he thought of his name and also had a thunder.

Kareth frowned tightly, he felt a huge indescribable emotion, he spread his hands, and felt the power of his fighting spirit, feeling the insignificance of this power for the first time.

For Motoyama, who had never been exposed to all of this, he could only describe it as shocking, but the first thing he thought of was, what kind of effect would it have if this kind of explosion was placed on the battlefield?

It's an unimaginable question, and a chilling answer.

Bai Xuan silently calculated in his heart that the power and range were probably between black powder and yellow explosives, which was far beyond his expectations.

In particular, this kind of thing has once again refreshed his understanding of this world, and it can be used as a detonating substance to replace mercury thunderate, and the primer used to make bullets is used.

"Master, it's perfect, even better than I expected. Bai Xuan shook Thomas's hand, "You are going to change the history of the continent." ”

"Huh?" the master hadn't reacted yet.

"Demon Cloud Lead, is this kind of thing easy to make?"

"Of course, it is not easy, cloud lead is a rare metal, the yield is very small, and the magic process is also cumbersome, requiring expensive raw materials. The Master shook his head, "I exchanged these with the magicians when I was in Rosa Royal City. ”

In this case, it is not considered to be used as a conventional detonator, but only to make a primer and a fire cap, which can be satisfied with only a small amount.

The next step is to solve the problem of smokeless gunpowder, which should not be difficult, and it should be possible to use other substances instead of black sulfur, which is simpler than the nitrocellulose used in the original world.

Different means to the same end.

"This is what you want?" Luo Shen looked at Bai Xuan, his gaze moving left and right.

"Is there anything strange on my face?"

"I just wanted to see where all these strange ideas of yours came from. ”

"You can't guess. Bai Xuan smiled, but sighed in his heart.

No one could have guessed.

After dinner, Bai Xuan invited Thomas to his study, where a few new blacksmith items were on the desk, and a bottle of the best wine he could find.

There's also a restless brown-haired dwarf dealing with a plate of nuts like a kindergitter.

Master Thomas rarely bathed and changed his clothes, draped in gray hair, and even had a little fairy style and mastery style, which frightened the dwarf Filip into a daze.

The two of them sat at the desk, first glanced at each other, and then took out the cigarette pouch for a meal with a tacit understanding, and then began to swallow the clouds and exhale the fog.

"Master, congratulations. ”

"Your Highness, each other. ”

"You are the only one who knows the formula for gunpowder, right?"

"Of course, but I'll write it down and give it to Your Highness. "The master is quite on the road.

"Sooner or later, it will spread all over the continent, but until then, I hope not to reveal it to anyone, the gunpowder will be named after you, and you will be famous in history, master. ”

"This is all His Royal Highness's wisdom, I will not reveal it to anyone, the process of pharmaceutical, will be separated in the future. Master Thomas tapped his pipe, "But how are you going to use this, Your Highness?"

"The next thing is up to Filip. Bai Xuan pushed an ashtray made of fine iron in front of the master.

"This is also a new weapon?"

"No, this is an ashtray, for flicking cigarette ash. Bai Xuan stretched out the cigarette roll and became a teacher.

"Well, it's a lot of money. ”

"The Lord is here. Bai Xuan picked up a fist-sized pineapple-shaped iron tool again.

"What is this?"

"Fili, you can explain it to the master. ”

"Ah, Yes, Your Highness. The dwarf put down the plate and picked up the iron pineapple, "Your Highness said that this is called a grenade, and the structure on it can be opened, and there is a small hole here that can be used to fill gunpowder......"

When the master had listened to Filip's explanation, he took his pipe and smoked it for a long time.

"This idea is really the work of the gods, this is called a spring, you made it?"

"Yes master, this one needs to be made of steel, with some elements added, quenched and annealed, a little complicated. Filip rubbed his hair, "According to His Highness's requirements, the requirements for use have basically been met at present." ”

"Originally, there was a lack of fire caps, that is, ignition materials, but now they can be replaced with demonized cloud lead, and they can be experimented tomorrow. Bai Xuan was quite satisfied with Filip's craftsmanship, and this grenade could be said to be completely in line with expectations.

"As for all the design of the grenade, including the manufacture of the spring, it also needs to be kept strictly secret. Bai Xuan looked at the dwarf, "It's called a filet grenade, and I think your name will remain in the history books." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Filip blushed.
