As the master clone of the ancient gods, Qin Song actually didn't need to sleep. In other words, to fall asleep is to transfer the will back to the essence, to be awake as well.

As soon as he thought of it, Qin Song immediately got up from the bed, because his eyes have their own luminous effects, even at night, his eyesight is far better than ordinary people, and he can clearly distinguish things within a range of more than ten meters.

So, even torches are not much needed.

Ever since Harald encountered the orcs in the forest, Qin Song had placed the evil nest spider demon in the lair of the forest as a surprise soldier to use at any time.

Taking out a few handfuls of cotton from the quilt in the room, bringing flint and fire sickles, Qin Song took advantage of the night to come to the orc ruins and found a relatively spacious orc shack to use as a laboratory.

Hearing the summoning, the evil nest spider demon climbed quickly along the cliff on the first floor of the mountain. The huge body, with the dense red compound eyes on the head, looks terrifying and evil in the night.

Of course, in Qin Song's eyes, it was just a large pet.

I found a large stone mortar for orcs, scraped the moss and broken soil with a wooden plank, and used it as a container.

When the terrifying abdomen of the Evil Nest Spider Demon slowly lifted, with a violent contraction, the spinning protrusion at the end of the abdomen protruded, spewing out a viscous liquid that was almost dark green, and landed in the stone mortar.

There was a slight rusting sound, no smoke was produced, and the dark green slime did not seem to react with the stone, taking on a liquid state.

While the liquid had not yet solidified, Qin Song carried the cotton in his hand and put it into the acid, the cotton encountered the acid, began to twist and deform, and after soaking completely, he gently picked it up and put it on the stone on the side.

Unfortunately, it was nighttime, and the drying speed was very slow.

I could only put it aside for the time being and continue to study the acid in the mortar, as in the first experiment, the acid did not remain liquid permanently, and the color gradually faded, and finally turned into gray-white crystals.

At least from this point of view, there is an essential difference between nitric acid and sulfuric acid.

After all, it was a magical creature from a dream, and Qin Song guessed that it contained some kind of magical substance with corrosive properties, and with modern technical conditions, there was no way to study it.

Besides, Qin Song didn't have much interest in researching it.

All he wants is gunpowder!

When the white crystals turned into a stable crystal form, Qin Song carefully scraped some white powder with a branch, and sniffed it gently, it had a slight fishy smell, but the smell was not very strong.

This is followed by a flammability experiment, in which the crystals are crushed into crumbs and spread out on the stones.

With a kind of eager anticipation, he lit a small fire with a fire sickle, took a small burning stick, and slowly stretched it out. It's like picking up that kind of unsound cannon when I was a kid, peeling it off and igniting the gunpowder with a match.

Boom...... The flames burned rapidly, and in less than a second, all that was left on the stone was charred black!

Surprise!

Ecstasy!

The speed and nature of the combustion, like white phosphorus, is also like gunpowder. In short, the white crystals are inherently flammable, or contain combustible substances such as white phosphorus.

Gunpowder is not just charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur, in the past world, there were extremely many types of gunpowder. Of course, a large part of them are strictly controlled and cannot be accessed by ordinary people.

Flammability test, perfect results!

The next step is stability testing, which is important for gunpowder. An unstable explosive that is difficult to store and dangerous to transport, and its practical usefulness is greatly limited.

You can know how many scientists who developed explosives died in the hands of their own explosives.

With a bang, even the people and the laboratory drove west.

The first test item is collision.

A lot of gunpowder is unstable because under the impact of external forces, the pressure increases suddenly, and the heat energy generated by extrusion leads to deflagration.

For collision experiments, the dosage should not be too small. Therefore, Qin Song, who didn't want to be blown up, lacked arms and legs, and designed a simple experimental device by himself.

Under the small tree outside the shack, a circular stone trough was placed, in which the experimental medicine was wrapped in rags, and a stone was tied to a rope and hung on the branch.

Then, Qin Song dragged the stone and ran into the distance, using a large stone as a cover.

Take a deep breath and let go!

The stone fell, slamming into the experimental medicine.

Syllable!

There was a smashing cannon that I played with when I was a child, and a god-like explosion happened.

Qin Song's heart sank, the stone he chose for the first time was not large in size, and the height was limited, so the impact of the formation was not too great. However, it can still excite deflagration, which indicates that the stability is not high.

I walked over and checked it, and found that the stone trough, which was already cracked, had been torn apart by the impact of the explosion. That's the amount of four or five fingernails, should it be so strong?

Instability is indeed a flaw, and care must be taken with both storage and transportation. But things are often two-sided, unstable gunpowder, and it's also important – that is, the primer.

Gunpowder, which is the primer of a bullet, needs to be unstable in order to be detonated by impact, thus igniting the explosive.

It's a mixed blessing.

It's too early to make bullets.

But there is no difficulty in making explosives packs.

Or more insidious, made into mines, especially against heavy cavalry. The high load of the hoplites, conducted on the horse's hooves, will form a powerful impact in a short time, which can completely detonate mines.

Originally, Qin Song thought it was a kind of magic acid, but now it seems that this white crystal is a kind of gunpowder in itself!

In addition to being a luxury off-road mount, it can also be used as a first-class gunpowder making machine, with its own storage and transportation capacity, and food is the raw material.

Now looking at the spider next to me, I suddenly feel that my eyebrows are clear, my long legs are fluttering, and even the pus on my back looks so cute!

Where is this evil nest spider demon!

It's a treasure spider.

If you want to make a fortune, raising spiders is a clear way.

The battle for world domination starts with raising spiders!

......

The sound of horses' hooves and the rolling of wheels.

By the Ness River, Leah and Alice are on two horses, followed by a four-wheeled carriage driven by Carrick, carrying Linda, Elena, and Luna, three babies who can't ride horses.

After deciding on their plan to go to Death Valley to find the Wise Man, they did not set off immediately, but seized the time to set up a sentry at the Ivor Farm, and recruited the farmer as a patrol, led by Eric, and made preliminary communication with Sir Weimar's cavalry in case of an accident in the absence of Leah and the others.

Facing the faint morning light, Alice, whose little face was ruddy, and the tips of her hair were condensed with a faint hoarfrost, looked at the outline of the undulating mountains in the distance: "Liya, don't you have any inspiration yet?"

Liya on the side, her hair was also knotted with hoarfrost, and she shook her head with a wry smile: "I was too busy arranging things yesterday, and I didn't have time to calm down and sense." ”

"Hmm. Alice nodded: "Don't worry, be patient." I needed an opportunity, and I came across a metal object and suddenly had an inspiration. Elena is the little mouse staring into the darkness, Luna is on the flower, and Linda is when she holds the stone. ”

"Opportunity. Leah was a little confused: "What was the trigger?"

The jujube red horse under his crotch snorted impatiently and exhaled hot white steam. Leah's war horse had already been sacrificed in the jungle, and this horse didn't seem to be familiar with her, and it seemed a little prickly.

Leah's slender legs clamped the horse's belly, her hands patiently adjusted the reins, and when the horse was a little tame, she looked up, and a red sun jumped out of the mountains.

Suddenly, something seemed to explode in her mind, Liya was stunned, and subconsciously pulled the reins, and the power in her body surged.

"It's a very mysterious opportunity...... Alice didn't notice the change in her expression.

"Alice!"

Leah let out a low cry, and the power was released from her legs and merged into the red horse under her crotch. Four dazzling pure white rays bloomed and jumped on the horse's hooves, and then a deep, surging black shadow quickly spread up the horse's legs, covering the original body color.

With a bang, the mane of the red horse swaying in the wind was ignited by the blazing white light, like a wave of fire, pouring down from the top of the head, forming a perfect arc, extending over the horse's back, and finally igniting the horse's tail.

In Alice's stunned gaze, the eyes of the red horse suddenly erupted two arcs of light, jumping out of the eye socket like a candle flame, and the breath in the nostrils also turned into a cloud of white light.

"Oh my God!" Alice glared in disbelief, and then cried out in ecstasy, "Linda, Luna, Elena—look—Shenma!"
