【Chapter 183】 Rank promotion, magic acid conception
Behind him, a bloody red sun and a gorgeous rainbow unfolded behind him like a picture scroll.
Tall!
Tall and straight!
The gradient robes, the patterns on the cuffs and necklines, and the perfect hood of the Assassin's Creed, those radiant eyes, in the dim ink, were like dancing flames, dragging light and shadow.
The figure of the dominant doppelganger is well-proportioned and tall, half a head taller than an adult male, and the face is sharply lined, showing a very unusual sapphire blue, and before the person approaches, everyone perceives an inexplicable deterrent, and their hearts are inexplicably nervous.
The clever tongue Mons happily spun around in the air, flew and landed on Qin Song's shoulder, bowed his head and saluted: "Great commander, these are the gifts I offer you." ”
Qin Song smiled and touched Mons's white feathers, and calmly came to the front of the queue, his eyes without pupil focus, with an elusive sense of mystery, swept over their faces one by one.
"He who submits to Me will be glorified. Those who betray me will perish!" Qin Song's voice was slightly different from that of mortals, with a wonderful sense of resonance, sounding subdued and frustrated, and showing little emotion, but it was very magnetic.
Ralph swallowed, but his unconditional obedience to Mons made him lead the way and shout, "Supreme Commander, I am willing to surrender to you!"
"Supreme Commander, willing to submit to you. ”
The rest of the pirates, including those of the navy, were also accustomed to obedience and followed the mountains and tsunami.
Qin Song nodded with satisfaction, the training during this period of time was not bad, at least in terms of basic discipline, they already had the rudiments of a modern army.
"Very well, and you will be blessed with wisdom. The voice full of resonance and harmony sounded very beautiful, and Qin Song raised his hands: "Get up, my loyal servants!"
"The sun is setting, and you will collectively receive a three-day pardon!"
With Mons's harsh beating in front of him, the three-day pardon was a great grace. Especially the tortured sailors, their faces welled up with ecstasy.
Among them was Harald, whose tears of excitement were about to come out. You must know that since he escaped and was captured, he has become the focus of everyone's care, including the former sailors, who also avoided him for fear of being implicated by him.
And he was never tortured no less than three times a day, which put his will on the verge of collapse.
"Long live the commander!"
Ralph cheered, and the rest of the group cheered in unison.
Qin Song made a downward gesture with both hands, and the crowd immediately quieted down, and his shining eyes flickered: "From today on, you will no longer be pirates, nor will you be a royal navy." Forget who you once were, you are now my servants, my army, soldiers whose creed is discipline and obedience!"
"I will issue military orders, and anyone who violates them will not be tolerated. ”
"First: the commander is above all else!"
"Second: Resolutely obey orders!"
"Third: Keep it hygienic and clean!"
"Remember?"
Everyone's words were sonorous: "Remember!"
"Now, I announce my promotion. Ralph, get out of line!"
"Yes, Commander!"
"In view of your merits during this time, you have been promoted to the rank of Fifth Rank - Master Chief. ”
"Hunn, get out of the ranks!"
"Yes, Commander!"
"Promote you to the rank of fourth-rank - Sergeant Major. ”
"Merlin, get out of the ranks!"
"Promote you to the rank of third rank - senior sergeant!"
"Glick, get out of line!"
......
The army must have the appearance of the army, the class of the army, Qin Song did not intend to apply the military ranks of later generations, but created a set of military ranks, the lowest rank is infantry, and the highest rank is commander. Of course, there are not many people now, and the fifth-rank non-commissioned officer chief is the highest commander.
During this period of training, Qin Song looked through Mons's eyes and found some people who performed well and trained diligently very early, a total of seventy-nine people, promoted to one non-commissioned officer, three sergeant majors, six high-ranking sergeants, nine sergeants, and the rest were all called infantry.
Ralph, Hunn, and Merlin, who had been promoted to the ranks, were about to explode with joy, and a strong sense of glory rose in their hearts from exiled pirates to military ranks.
Of course, Qin Song also planned a promotion channel for the infantry, that is, to abide by discipline and train hard. Every month, from the sergeant major downward, there will be a collective assessment, and those who pass the assessment will receive the corresponding military rank according to their rank. In other words, the ranks of senior sergeants and sergeants are mobile quotas, which are determined by the assessment results and will not be retained permanently.
Promotion and demotion are indispensable.
In order to stimulate their enthusiasm for training, the rank of military officer is not just a title, and the rank of sergeant and above can be exempted for a long time unless they violate military discipline.
This gave a glimmer of hope to the sailors of the Navy, who had been oppressed by pirates for a long time and had suffered the most. And now, promotion is the best talisman.
Harald's eyes lit up, as the unlucky bastard of the whole team, the long torture had long since smoothed his aristocratic mentality, and he was eager to get out of a bad situation, but there was no way to do it.
Now, get promoted!
The door was opened for him, and there were quite a few places for high-ranking sergeants and sergeants, and he had every chance to stand out and enjoy long-term immunity.
I can!" Harald clenched his fists.
......
Until darkness completely fell, and amid the cheers of everyone's 'Long live the commander', Qin Song came to the simple stone house built for him.
It was very rudimentary indeed, with no windows or doors, let alone any furniture, and the only thing that could be called a bed was a platform made of stones, covered with quilts scavenged from the Golden Lance.
The chest, with its majolica and silverware, was also placed in the center of the room, barely enough to be used as a table.
"Alas, one poor and two white. ”
Qin Song pillowed his arms boredly, leaning on the quilt, thinking about how to arrange the next things. Food, clothing, shelter and transportation are essential, but the threat of orcs is the most important thing.
The army he is now cultivating has discipline and obedience, and what is lacking is weapons, and they are hot weapons. If you fight with cold weapons, no matter how strong your discipline is, you can't resist the impact of the orcs or the charge of the knights.
Alice should be able to make simple guns, or more directly cannon barrels, the only trouble is the manufacture of gunpowder. The recipe for black powder is not difficult, but sulfur and saltpeter are not easy to find, and with the current technical conditions, it is not easy to manufacture in large quantities.
As for the more advanced gunpowder formula, Qin Song had heard of a few, such as smokeless gunpowder, the formula was not difficult, and it could be made with nitric acid and fiber. The fiber is simple, and the cotton freshly picked at Blackstone Fort is the best raw material, which can be turned into smokeless gunpowder after nitration treatment.
But nitric acid ...... Qin Song had a little headache, and regretted that he didn't learn chemistry well, what is the formula for making nitric acid? sodium nitrate or what?
Nitric acid and sulfuric acid, two key chemicals, have a variety of important uses.
It's a pity that I don't remember it......
Sour......
Wait a minute!
Qin Song's mind suddenly flashed with a flash of inspiration, acid!
Nightmare Spider!
[Wilt Spray]: The giant abdomen of the Evil Nest Spider Demon is filled with a strong corrosive magic liquid, and it shoots out, and the hit target continues to wither.
Yes, the properties of the highly corrosive Ichor are similar to those of nitric acid and sulfuric acid, even if you don't know its exact composition, or you don't have to go to great lengths to study the composition of the Potion in the magical world.
So, after experiments, will it have some properties of nitric acid and sulfuric acid?
Thinking of this, Qin Song's heart suddenly became excited, once his inference was verified, then the problem of gunpowder would be solved, and it would still be smokeless gunpowder in one step.
Nightmare Demon has limited vitality, and unless summoned on a large scale, its combat effectiveness is not optimistic. But what if it wasn't used for combat, but for the production of magic acid?
