Chapter 44: The Explosion
Every time Li Mo came to the bottom of this underground kingdom-like mine, he would sigh at the wonder of the Creator. Such a vast and mysterious huge space is actually hidden underground for hundreds of years and thousands of years.
I don't know if it was formed naturally or dug up.
Li Mo shook his head, threw away these thoughts in his heart, and walked into the laboratory of the research institute.
It is said to be a laboratory, but in fact, it is to demarcate a large area in the underground mining area, build a fence around it, and then divide the area inside.
Cement workshop, herbal medicine workshop, mold workshop, parts workshop, etc., are these temporary professional workshops. Of course, it is not professional, and it is still in the exploration stage, so we can only wait for more technical talents in the future, and then slowly expand.
Enter the laboratory of the "Gunpowder Workshop", which is divided into three storage rooms. Charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur were placed respectively, the three easiest gunpowder materials to collect.
In fact, in this world, there is a "phosphorus fire powder" for fireworks displays, but the explosiveness is not good, and it is far from meeting the requirements. The recipe for black powder that Li Mo is familiar with is very simple, and it can be completed according to the ratio of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal 75:10:15.
Most of the "phosphorus powder" in this world is used for ignition or fireworks displays, and even if there are alchemists, gunpowder explosives have never been studied. Their research direction may be how to absorb "Origin Energy Crystallization" and how to stimulate Force skills.
The divine spirits blessed by the gods and the Force equipment forged by the crystallization of the Force are all extraordinary weapons that can exert great power.
In order for the mortal civilians of Xijing City to have weapons sufficient to defend against the enemy, the development of gunpowder is a necessary way. Even if there are no guns and no cannons, the gunpowder alone is powerful enough. For example, bifurcation of rocks and bombs, mining and blasting.
Li Mo's vision is to have not only the high-end extraordinary combat power of the goddesses, but also the defensive force of low-level civilians.
Grasp with both hands, and be hard with both hands.
Zilai also took Li Mo and inspected the three storage rooms one by one.
Each storage room is in accordance with the strict requirements mentioned by Li Mo: confidentiality, dryness, moisture, and fire. While the requirements were perfectly executed, the grinding work was already done in advance.
Nitrate, sulfur powder, and charcoal powder are all weighted, wrapped in a layer of dry paper, a layer of dry parchment paper, and put into a moisture-proof box.
"Yes, well done!" Li Mo praised.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Jiraiya grinned, looking very useful.
Li Moxiao looked at Zilaiya and couldn't help but be in a trance. The chubby young spider-man in front of him, who has a ninja belt tied to his forehead and is dedicated to research, inherits the "death system" of Kai Ruigan with the Force attribute, and in the future, as the level increases, the direction of evolution is the necromancer.
A NECROMANCER, WHO DOESN'T STUDY EVIL SPIRITS, BONES, DEBUFFS, OR CIRCLES, IS HERE TO TINKER WITH GUNPOWDER...... If it becomes an undead spell in the future, and a flame explosion in the other......
This picture is touching when you think about it......
Li Mo threw away these messy associations, coughed lightly, and briefly said the black powder proportioning process, "...... The ratio of nitrate, sulfur powder, and charcoal powder is 75:10:15, according to this...... Sieving, screening, and evenly mixed particles...... Keep it dry throughout. ”
Jiraiya listened intently, and couldn't help but be surprised: "It's that simple?"
"The materials and processes are not difficult, the difficult thing is to use the brain. Li Mo smiled and waved his hand, "You first make ten to fifteen pounds, and then we will study the next step." ”
As he spoke, he walked over to the chair next to him and sat down.
In the entire Xijing City, Jiraiya, who has the most research experience, immediately started his work with great interest. He has extremely flexible hands, coupled with extraordinary induction, the steps Li Mo said are not difficult for him.
Looking at Zilai's serious and busy figure, Li Mo fell into deep thought again.
A transcendent person in the world, he can awaken skills every time he advances. The gifted ones have stronger and more awakened skills. Those with poor talent may only have two moves for life.
However, if you want to continue to compete with the geniuses, you still need more knowledge. For example, the codex left over from ancient times, the secret book of mysterious and powerful skills, the words of the demigods, the forbidden spells of the gods, and so on.
"It seems that it is time to collect some secret codex or something, and make up for the ......knowledge of these subordinates," Li Mo pondered secretly.
In the small treasury of Xijing City, the first ransom was 30,000 gold pounds, and the remaining was about 4,000 gold pounds. In addition, after the release of William, he received a second batch of 30,000 gold pounds. At present, there are more than 34,000 gold pounds in stock.
If you can use money to buy a secret book of extraordinary skills, you can talk to Lao Bi.
Time passed slowly.
"That's it!"
Zilai's excited voice interrupted Li Mo's thoughts.
"I'll see. Li Mo got up and carefully inspected the results of Jiraiya.
I have to say that the work of preparing black powder was handed over to Jiraiya, and he really found the right person. Looking at the black powder in front of him with uniform particles and perfect mixture, Li Mo couldn't help but praise it repeatedly.
After weighing and strict and careful packaging, Li Mo and Zilai also worked together to finally make a qualified gunpowder bag.
"Let's go, try the effect!" Li Mo took Zi Lai Ye and hurriedly went out.
...............
In a barren mountain col in the mountain range outside the city, the werewolf soldiers of the wolf camp who were responsible for patrolling the surroundings were solemnly guarding the surroundings.
Kerrigan, Medusa, and Pheasant, the three female vice-gods stood side by side not far away.
The wolf warrior battalion commander Banba, as well as Orochimaru, stared at the busy figures of Li Mo and Jiraiya in the mountain pass.
Nasus put his hands behind his back and dangled curiously beside him.
"Are you going to plant a tree?"
Nasus asked, pondering.
He saw Li Mo entangle some tree roots in a leather paper bag and lightly cover it with some sand. Then he cut a small crack, took out a small paper bag, and shook out the black powder into a line.
"I sense the smell of danger, Your Majesty. What the hell is our great master doing there?" asked the "butterfly spider" who could disguise and change color on his shoulder, and asked in a surprised whisper.
"I don't know, but what Your Highness did must be right. Kerrigan said lightly.
"Is this trapping some kind of magical creature??" Medusa muttered, muttering.
"Zilai is also involved, it is definitely not an entrapment, it should be...... Well...... A new style of cement!" said the pheasant with a slight smile.
"It's not cement, it's white, it's black!" squatting on the shoulders of the pheasant, the "forest owl" who was like a pigeon and a fat goose, with forked antlers on his head and his eyes dripping, puffed out his mouth.
Li Mo finally finished the arrangement, clapped his hands, and hurriedly ran away.
His action startled the surrounding audience, and they hurriedly ran away.
"Let's go!" Li Mo shouted with his ears plugged.
"Yes, Your Highness. Jiraiya left a distance, then stretched out his finger, and a small flame shot out from his fingertip and landed on the exposed cartridge of the gunpowder bag.
Sneer...... The spark scurried towards the gunpowder bag.
Nasus touched his chin and muttered to himself, "Is it to attract forest rats out of ......?"
Before he could finish his words, suddenly—
Rumble!!
A loud and violent roar rang out.
All the onlookers were shocked by this sudden explosion.
There was a huge roar and concussion, and in an instant, the grass, trees, rocks and soil were splashed, and then they were all thrown down like a crackling shower. Black clouds rose and smoke flew up.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the explosion.
The aftermath flickered, and then the whole world seemed to become quiet.
In the direction where the gunpowder packets were buried, two large trees side by side were blown to the ground, and a large crater more than two meters wide appeared on the ground, emitting smoke and steam, and the surroundings were full of wreckage.
"This ......," Nasus was dumbfounded, not knowing how to speak.
"......" All the onlookers had different expressions, and they didn't know what was going on.
"This is the punishment of the thunder!!" Nasus abruptly awoke and shouted.
