Chapter 53: So This Is an Explosion

The information of the primordial beast clan is very important, and if the beast has wisdom, it is indeed a bit risky.

But that's all there is to it, and Alan listened to Windsor explain that the beasts of the beast tide had no armor and were all naked in hand-to-hand combat.

They don't have the flesh and skin of plate armor, only the will not to die, the equivalent of the beast herd that unlocks the talent of blood rage, they are not afraid of pain, and they maintain a high movement speed when fighting.

This "blood rage" is not the blood anger of the other, they do not have the ability to heal wounds, and the more they fight, the more they are injured, and finally they may be disabled for half a life.

A well-equipped orc army can defend itself against the brutal onslaught of the beast tide by simply building fortifications in advance.

However, the beast tide is not always front-bearing, and it is possible for them to bypass the army and sneak up on other towns for the purpose of eating.

Whenever the beast tide scurried unreasonably, the Lionheart's army would also rush around, defending against the beast tide from various paths, or sending cavalry to quickly support.

After listening to Windsor's explanation, Alan was a little unsure if his beast whisperer talent could control the beast tide.

The last time he was able to control the beast tide, it was because the intelligence of the beast herd was low, and there was no existence to dominate the beasts, as long as he bragged about the sea and promised them a vision for the future, the ignorant beasts immediately recognized him as the big leader.

If the Beastmaster appears, the situation will be different, instead of trusting humans who understand the language of beasts, it is better to follow the orders of the beastmaster, so it is not easy for him to control the beast tide.

But who knows, but who knows, Alan feels like he can give it a try.

"If the beast tide pushes us here, we may have to move the village...... Windsor said here, a worried look on her face.

"You don't have to worry too much about this, today's black powder factory has also preliminarily built a cement house to shelter from the wind and rain, I will show you the power of black powder." Alan said confidently.

Black powder is made for guns and ammunition, and by the way, a grenade.

Of course, now that the gunpowder factory has just been completed, there is no slave who knows how to make gunpowder, and he needs to teach the orcs on the spot about the dos and don'ts of making black powder.

After a while, Alan came to the gunpowder factory and instructed the slaves on the spot to memorize the ratio of black powder.

Black powder has a ratio of "one sulfur, two nitrate and three carbons", that is, 10% sulfur, 75% potassium nitrate, and 15%.

Of course, the above is not the best ratio, the best ratio has a decimal point, and Allen does not have a precise measuring instrument here, so he can only do it roughly.

If you want to make black powder, you must first purify the saltpeter, the easiest way is the crystallization method, put the natural saltpeter into the water, dissolve the saltpeter at high temperature, filter the insoluble matter after saturation, cool the filtrate, filter the precipitated substance, because the main component of saltpeter is potassium nitrate, theoretically repeat the purification step many times.

Needless to say, charcoal is surrounded by forests, and there is no shortage of trees at all.

The sulfur in Datie Village comes from the extinct volcano on the right side of the southern mine, where there is a large number of volcanic sulfur ore, heating the raw sulfur to 200 degrees, the sulfur in the mine will melt, filter the insoluble substances and continue to heat, constantly stirring, so that some impurities vaporize and evaporate, to 400 degrees of sulfur boiling, collect sulfur gas, cool down the sulfur gas solidification, and obtain relatively pure sulfur.

The principle is probably like this, Windsor on the side heard it in the clouds anyway, and could only memorize every step of the operation with stiff hair.

Due to the danger of black powder, Allen emphasized that this thing will explode, so everyone should be careful, you can't use a metal rod when pounding gunpowder, you must use a wooden stick, and you can't ignite things in the gunpowder factory, so as not to cause the explosion of black powder due to sparks.

Everyone heard that gunpowder would explode, but they didn't have a specific sense of the word explosion, and it wasn't until Eren said that an explosion would kill people, and the orc slaves were cautious.

Even so, the slaves did not have a sense of danger on the line between life and death, because they could not understand what an "explosion" was.

Alan described the power of gunpowder with the thunder of the sky, and the slaves still did not believe that the things they made in their hands were comparable to thunder, and at most they were serious and did not cut corners in order to catch up with the schedule.

The sun gradually descends from the center to the horizon, and the moon rises and sets.

Early the next morning. Alan went back to the gunpowder factory and saw that the workers were grinding sulfur, saltpeter crystallization, and charcoal into a fine powder with wooden sticks, and then mixing the three things in a small bowl in a specific weight ratio.

Not long after, the black granules are powdered into shape.

The orcs saw the gunpowder take shape, their tails wagged slightly, and they formed a question mark, and looked at Alan with blank eyes, waiting for him to explain.

Alan looked at a few grains of gunpowder and said slowly: "The gunpowder over there in Wangcheng is in powder, which cannot control the burning rate, and there are a lot of impurities, and the ratio of the three raw materials is not the best ratio, and the power is very poor.

What we produce here is granular gunpowder, which can control the burning rate of gunpowder through the size and number of particles, and the formula ratio is close to perfect, and there are few impurities, and the power is much better than that of Wangcheng. ”

There was no basis for his words, and everyone didn't realize that Allen's black powder was a few streets ahead of Wangcheng, and they only felt that Allen was a little too proud.

What is Intramuros?

It is a sacred place that integrates politics, economy, and culture, and it is where the headquarters of the Lionheart Kingdom Temple is located, and every Orc in the Royal City is a nobleman of several ranks, and no one thinks that Eren can surpass the Royal City, at most, Allen's technology is taken from the Royal City.

The other orcs didn't dare to say psychological words, and Windsor, as the deputy village chief, needed to complain slightly.

Thinking that Allen's water wheel boring machine has mastered the power of the goddess of water, the appearance of the steam engine even the mother earth will tremble, and she also swallows the psychological words into her stomach.

Although the royal city represents the high and is a place favored by the gods, Alan also has the favor of the gods, and it is really impossible to say who is more powerful.

"Let's go outside and light some black powder."

The slave carried a box of black powder to the outside, and then ordered someone to bring a small ceramic jar, put the black powder into the jar, and tam it with a small wooden stick until it was impossible to stuff the gunpowder, cover the porcelain plate, cover the ground with his backhand, and then put some black powder on the ground, and introduce it into the porcelain jar from the outside.

After doing this, the slave handed over the brimstone match, and Alan prepared to use the match to scrape the flint to light the match, and then ignite the black powder jar in the distance through the black powder on the ground.

Gunpowder burning extremely fast in a narrow space will cause an explosion, Alan scratched a few times, the small flame on the match burned quietly, he lightly touched the gunpowder on the ground, and immediately made a sizzling burning sound, giving birth to a large amount of white smoke and black smoke, and the flame rushed forward like a small snake.

Their ears are sensitive, they can hear the slightest sound of black powder burning rapidly, and immediately make a wow sound, and the orcs who don't have a question mark tail also put up a question mark tail, and some orcs even forgot Allen's burning warning, and rushed forward to try to run faster with gunpowder.

Seeing the ignorant orc running towards the powder jar, Alan shouted, "Come back, that thing is going to explode." ”

The running orcs heard Alan's voice and stopped, but instead of rushing back, they slowly retreated.

The ignorant are fearless, Eren has nothing to say, and only a thunderous explosion can make the ignorant orcs afraid.

Behind Allen, Windsor covered her head with two cat ears early on, her eyes wide open, staring at the jar full of black powder.

Just now she saw the speed at which the gunpowder burned, and it burned very fast.

Seeing an orc chasing black powder, Windsor shouted back, but within three seconds of shouting, she saw a scene she will never forget.

I saw the burning "snake" jump into the clay pot, and the next moment, the clay pot was shattered by an unknown force, and then the light was born!

"Boom-"

The cracked light quickly faded away, and a thunderous sound exploded in front of it.

The ears of the orcs rushing to the front line were constricted, filled with violent sounds, their heads were like being struck by a hammer, and their bodies shook and fell to the ground, dizzy.

The orcs next to Eren didn't fall to the ground, but their faces turned white and their legs were shaking.

Wait, the earth is shaking, and the tremors are being felt!

It's Mother Earth, and it's scared, more so than when the steam engine was running!

The knowledge-poor orcs gasped, it turned out that this was the "explosion".
