Volume 1 The Tiger's Mouth Escapes a Danger Chapter 13 The Mountain Dwelling Maker

The fiery red sun has just jumped out of the horizon, the mountain fog has not completely dissipated, and the dew drops are crystal clear on the tips of the leaves swallowing silver millilight, it is the freshest and most pleasant time of the day.

Puyi had already crawled up from the bed, and he had woken up the little dwarf Duna, who was like a fart. Practicing the so-called Shaolin Luohan boxing on the empty lawn, I don't know whether the movements are in place, and I don't know whether the body is beautiful, just want the movements to be coherent and can sweat, that is the purpose of practicing boxing. Anyway, no one in this world knows what he's practicing?

After practicing boxing, he dragged little Duna to draw water, brushed her teeth with a toothbrush made of branches, cleaned her face, and hurriedly drank her breakfast of papaya paste and bird eggs, but did not go to the vegetable field as usual. Because it rained only yesterday, the vegetable field can give him a day off, and because there is an important thing to do today - making nitrate.

Living in the mountains and having a father who likes to hunt, how can a child who grows up like this be unfamiliar with birds and gunpowder? I remember when I was in chemistry class in junior high school, the most important chapter of Puyi was the production of gunpowder of the charcoal clan, and I also helped my father update the formula of gunpowder according to the knowledge in the books!

Living alone with a dwarf in the holy mountain of dwarves, Puyi is still very concerned about the safety of himself and little Duna. Although the dwarves have isolated the entire vegetable field and wooden house from the outside world with iron fences, is it really reliable to entrust their lives to others, and it is in the hands of aliens? And the faint uneasiness in his heart all the time made him feel that he had to be prepared.

Although they can't do anything else, most of the dwarves are giant-level weapon masters, and it is still easy to polish a few seamless dark iron pipes. In particular, Elder Snellin, who had received his great kindness and entered the high-level fire mage in one fell swoop, even generously took out the Xuantie Mother Essence, which he did not have much in stock, and mixed it into the Xuantie, making the Xuantie Pipe more resilient.

I chose a hard iron birch on the mountain, and even cut the butt of the gun, and the large parts that made up the bird system were completed. Based on the memories of playing with his father's bird gun as a child, he commissioned the master blacksmiths of the dwarf clan to create a few small parts, and a hair-style bird gun was made.

Although there is no medicine, it is not difficult to find. The high-level members of the dwarf clan didn't realize what kind of big killing weapon Puyi was making, the pointless and bladeless black iron pipe and those parts did not have a hideous appearance, even if they were combined, they were not guns or sticks, just like the long legs of animals, and the maximum damage value was estimated to come from smashing people...

As long as it is not an item that needs to be controlled, then play with your guests, maybe what kind of agricultural tools it is.

When Puyi took out the first recharged-type Suifa Bird Gun that he had assembled, although he never realized that what he was holding in his hand was also the first musket that seemed to be a milestone in the history of the planet, his heart was still full of a sense of accomplishment, no less than the first time he went into the mountains to hunt with his father.

Of course, the outcome of defeat is similar, and the stone is not stable and cannot be fired at the first time. If you take this bird gun and go hunting in the mountains, and the sound of the trigger is continuously pulled and the animals are frightened to run away or beckoned to you, this bird gun may not necessarily make a speech.

If it doesn't work, then change it, let's not send it, let's change the arquebus. Drill a small hole in the position of the powder box behind the barrel of the black iron gun, insert a small fire rope that I learned to make when I was a child making firecrackers, the front sight, the watchtower, the prey, three points and one line, let the little Duna ignite, from the thin "swish" to the loud sound of "bang", I was shaken a big grin, and the little Duna was scared to jump three feet, and then look at the wild sheep that were grazing leisurely a hundred steps away, and were also so frightened that they ran away.

This... The great monk Puyi felt his face crackle!" Failure is the mother of success", Puyi laughed at himself... Seeing that the wild sheep had not taken more than a few steps, it lost its balance, landed on its abdomen, its legs and feet twitched, and a puddle of black blood oozed from its abdomen and quickly flowed all over the ground.

The prey is hit, but it is difficult to say that it is successful! Because the great monk Puyi is aiming at the head of the prey! A hundred steps away, aiming at the middle of the head, if it weren't for God's favor, the two of them would have nothing to gain!

It's shameless! The first success of the hunt even made the two of them excited, and the gravity of this world seems to be slightly weaker than that of the Earth, so that the range of the bird gun is longer!

Moreover, after repeated full-charge tests, the barrel made of dark iron has no risk of exploding at all, and the smooth bore is easy to clean, and there will be no sticking gunpowder residue at all.

Puyi can get the treasure now, and when he has time, he will take Duna to the forest, but he doesn't dare to go too deep. After all, birds are not omnipotent, and who knows what the risks will be in this strange forest?

In order to cover up the existence of birds, and to find an excuse for the increasing number of prey in the family. Puyi specially asked the dwarven clan for a few bows and arrows, and specially made some paper cannons for Duna to play with.

In this way, even if there was a strange sound of "bang" in the forest, the dwarves would smile knowingly: "Duna is naughty again......" The self-proclaimed shrewd magnates of the dwarf clan were also interested in paper cannons, but after trying, the sound was no better than the sound of the old roots in the fire, and they gradually gave up the doubts in their hearts.

The arquebus gradually took shape as it was improved day after day, but there was one problem that remained unsolved, and he could not operate it alone. Two people must cooperate, one person raises a gun to aim, and the other ignishes the fire, and in case of wind and rain, where does the fire come from? Lighter? Match? But neither. If it weren't for the cooperation of Xiao Duna, who has a little fire basic magic foundation, his arquebus would be a burning stick!

Well, it's time for little Duna to go to school, and it's time to go to the clan to learn fire magic. As Duna's guardian, you have to tutor Duna from time to time. When little Duna can already use small fire magic to chase and abuse small animals, Puyi can also drive small flames in his fingers, but this is enough. It's just that this shouldn't be, he who takes the "Gift of the Fire God" almost every day, should be the supreme genius who cultivates fire-based spells, and he can't have one of them!

It's hard to see that there is a problem with the way to take it, yes, you have to try it according to Elder Shi's method! Swallow a large spoonful of spicy chili peppers, don't drink water, let's meditate on fire magic.

Yes! It worked!

Successfully jumped up and down with his spicy self, screamed wildly, and burned even when he defecated. After trying twice, Puyi gave up, it seems that the fire god and himself are not in love, our talent is not in fire magic, we still practice our little fireball technique, we still see others blushing and thick necks to take the gift of the fire god to practice fire magic, let's practice our bird magic by ourselves.

The dwarven clan elders who have been paying close attention to this matter also let out a long breath, it is better for distinguished guests not to touch those dangerous things, practicing magic is risky, and you need to be more cautious when entering the industry!

With frequent practice of musket, gunpowder is not enough. Vis Volcano, natural sulfur is easy to find, charcoal can be burned by yourself, but there is not much natural saltpeter. Didn't the great men of the earth have a saying, "Do it yourself, have plenty of food and clothing!" "Then let's boil it today.

Little Duna's task is to go to the dwarven clan's big wooden house to get grass and wood ashes, and she wants to wash her hair, isn't it? It's a little bit more, but it's a big head today.

Puyi went to look for the nitrate, the cave of some wild beast, the root of the old wall, the place of drowning, and if he found anything similar to the nitrate, he just dug it up.

In the large water tank at home, put all the nitrate soil and plant ash into it, add water, and then take a thick wooden stick and stir it.

Stir it almost enough, and then poke it out of the black solution one by one, filter it, and boil! When it is almost boiled, take a small jar and put it up, and then take water from the large tank and filter it to boil.

After boiling all the water in the large tank, then put the small tank on the fire and continue to boil, stirring while boiling.

When a white crystal appears at the bottom of the tank, extinguish the fire and let the liquid in the small tank slowly cool and crystallize on its own. Take out the crystals, add water to dissolve, boil again, and repeat three or five times.

After a long day's work, looking at the pile of needle-like crystals of white flowers on the table, the output is really not high, two hundred catties of nitrate, it is less than ten catties of nitrate, but it is okay, it is enough for a while.

The saltpeter crystals still have to be powdered, and at this time there is no spark to be seen, little Duna, while playing with a small fireball! Wooden pots, wooden hammers, Puyi slowly beat one person!

According to the ratio of 75, 10, and 15, Puyi harvested nearly 100 catties of gunpowder. Carefully divide the parchment paper according to the amount of each time, and hide it properly!

"Duna, take a bath in the hot springs." There is a hot spring not far behind the wooden house, Puyi artificially enlarged it, with basalt simple construction of a few steps, the bottom of the water paved with white sand, it is a good place to bathe. The water temperature is also moderate, and a small wooden house was built next to it as a changing room.

The sun is good during the day, and the moonlight at night is also good, Puyi, who is only in his underwear, and Xiao Duna are leaning on the basalt rock to take a nap after a while, but they can hear a chaotic footstep from far and near, someone is knocking the iron gate at the iron fence, and the sky there is also bright for a while. Puyi didn't dare to slack off, came out of the hot spring, put on a white linen bathrobe, put on his shoes, motioned to Du Na, who was also dressed up, to follow him, lifted the bird gun placed in the dry place of the high rock by the pool, and cautiously touched towards the iron door.
