"This white salt is the saltpeter you said?"

Looking at Lin Luo's excited appearance, Chief Bamboo asked him out loud.

"Saltpeter just looks similar to white salt, but it's not white salt. ”

Lin Luo shook his head and explained to the bamboo chieftain as he pulled out a sharp-toothed dagger from his waist and scraped some saltpeter from the clay pot.

Then, reach into a nearby stove that has been lit.

"Phew!"

With a soft sound, the saltpeter on the sharp-toothed dagger burned violently, emitting purple flames.

Burning it with fire, purple and green smoke rises, and the cloud is saltpeter.

This is a record of the identification of saltpeter in the "Commentary on the Book of Plants and Trees".

"This stone can burn!"

Seeing this scene, Chief Bamboo's eyes suddenly widened slightly.

"Saltpeter not only burns, but also explodes. ”

Lin Luo replied with a smile, then turned his head to the fox chief and said, "Fox chief, you immediately send warriors to the surrounding caves or under the cliffs.

Look for the bitter-tasting and salty soil, and collect them all and bring them back to Menggu. ”

Nitrate is not only found in toilets, but also in the pens of pigs and cows, and under the corners of some old walls.

In addition, the ground on the caves and cliff sides that are not easily washed by rainwater will also appear in the nitrate.

Therefore, Lin Luo naturally couldn't just count on the toilet.

"Good. ”

Hearing Lin Luo's words, the fox chief immediately nodded in response.

Then, he turned around and went to make arrangements.

"Chief, go and talk to the deer chieftain and ask him to arrange for someone to collect the nitrate over there in the breeding area. ”

Immediately, Lin Luo turned his head to Chief Bamboo and said.

The deer clan has always been in charge of the breeding area, and Lin Luo naturally won't let go of the nitrate over there.

"Good. ”

Hearing this, Chief Bamboo also nodded in response, and quickly turned to leave.

Lin Luo, on the other hand, walked to the clay pot and looked at the saltpeter condensed on the wall of the pot, his eyes full of expectation.

As one of the four great inventions of China, gunpowder is about to be borrowed from his hand to reappear in this primitive and barren world!

......

Five days later, the area near the south side of Taniguchi.

At this time, a workshop covering an area of nearly 1,000 square meters has been built on the originally bare grassland here.

This is a specially planned nitrate-making area by Lin Luo, which was built in less than three days by the joint efforts of dozens of clansmen.

Nowadays, the nitrate workshop has begun to operate, and many busy figures can be seen from afar.

Those people were all apprentices taught by the craftsmen of the salt workshop, according to Lin Luo's orders.

Nowadays, the clay used to make nitrate is no longer collected from the toilets.

Therefore, there was only a faint smell in the air here, not as foul as when Lin Luo first experimented.

And when Lin Luo stepped here, a young man immediately greeted him.

This young man, called Ya, is the youngest craftsman in the tribal alliance, and is now appointed by Lin Luo to manage the nitrate-making workshop.

"Bud, how much saltpeter is made now?"

Seeing the buds coming up, Lin Luo asked him out loud.

"That's all. ”

Hearing Lin Luo's inquiry, Bud picked up the clay pot on the stone table next to him and handed it to Lin Luo, his tone full of guilt.

"Yes, it's quite a lot!"

Looking at nearly one-third of the saltpeter in the clay pot, Lin Luo patted the bud on the shoulder and praised it.

After all, it has only been two days since the nitrate workshop actually started production.

In addition, it takes time for saltpeter to condense, and it is really good to be able to refine so much saltpeter now.

Therefore, in the face of the bud full of guilt, Lin Luo praised him without hesitation.

Then, Lin Luo stretched out his hand to take the clay pot in the bud's hand and said, "I'll take these saltpeters first, and you can continue to work hard here!"

"Yes. ”

Hearing this, Bud immediately nodded heavily in reply.

And Lin Luo didn't stay here for long, and after saying goodbye to the buds, he turned around and left the nitrate-making workshop.

It didn't take long to come to a cave.

It can be seen that all three chiefs are standing outside the cave at this time.

They came over to see what kind of weapon Lin Luo was talking about.

"Lin Luo, what secrets are there in this cave? Can't even we know?"

After seeing Lin Luo walking with a clay pot, Chief Bamboo immediately asked with a dissatisfied face.

On the side, the other two chiefs also had the same expressions.

Because, at this moment, it was not only them who were outside the cave, but also two other warriors guarding the entrance of the cave.

When they first came here, they were going to go inside the cave to have a look.

However, he was told by the two warriors that Lin Luo had previously ordered that no one was allowed to enter the cave except for him and the craftsman in charge of preparing gunpowder.

However, in the face of the three chiefs, the two warriors naturally did not dare to stop them, and just told them Lin Luo's order.

And after hearing Lin Luo's order, the three chiefs were immediately unhappy.

In their opinion, this is Lin Luo's distrust of them!

simply, he stood outside the cave and waited for Lin Luo to arrive.

Therefore, after seeing Lin Luo coming with a clay pot, Chief Bamboo immediately spoke out to express his dissatisfaction.

"Chief, you are mistaken. ”

Looking at the unhappy looks of the three chiefs, Lin Luo immediately guessed the reason.

He immediately explained to them, "The reason why I don't allow anyone to enter the cave is because of safety. ”

"Safe?"

Hearing Lin Luo's words, Chief Bamboo couldn't help frowning and said, "It's just making weapons, what danger can there be?"

"That's right!"

The fox chief immediately chimed in: "Could it be that this explosive can attack us on its own?"

"Really. ”

Hearing this, Lin Luo nodded with a serious face.

"This ......"

Hearing this, the three chiefs' eyes widened slightly.

A weapon capable of attacking people on their own initiative, which they had never heard of.

"Explosives are different from ordinary weapons, it ......"

Lin Luo then opened his mouth and explained to them the danger of explosives.

There is no doubt that the preparation of explosives is a very dangerous job.

If you are not careful, you may have an accident that will explode.

Not to mention that there can be no fire source, even the most common animal skin clothing may cause an explosion due to static electricity.

Therefore, this time, Lin Luo has changed into a linen shirt.

At the same time, he also gave a death order to the only craftsman, that when entering the cave where the gunpowder was prepared, he was never to wear animal skin clothing.

It was also for safety reasons that Lin Luo deliberately arranged two warriors to guard the entrance of the cave in case someone wore animal skin clothes and strayed into the cave.

He didn't want to, he hadn't used explosives on the enemy.

was reported by his own people first: The private artillery workshop has been blown up!

"In other words, as long as we don't wear animal skin clothes now, we can go in, right?"

After listening to Lin Luo's story, Chief Bamboo asked him out loud.

"Yes. ”

Lin Luo nodded first, and then immediately said: "However, I didn't know that you had to see the process of preparing explosives, so I didn't prepare ...... for you."

Lin Luo's words were only halfway through when they came to an abrupt end.

Because, after the three chiefs saw him nodding, they had already taken off all the animal skin clothes on their bodies neatly.

There is no shame in this world, and it is common to see some people walking birds bare-chested in the valley.

Therefore, the three chiefs took off their clothes without the slightest hesitation.

"Alright, let's go in!"

Then, Chief Bamboo said to Lin Luo.

After listening to Lin Luo's account of the dangers, Chief Bamboo became more interested in explosives.

"Uh...... , well!"

Looking at the three bare-hearted chiefs, Lin Luo had no choice but to nod.
