Wayne put aside the cannon for the time being, and the sulfur, nitrate, and charcoal he asked for came. There is artillery, but it can't be done without ammunition. Cannonballs are simply big iron balls or stone balls, and gunpowder has to be taken seriously.

There was already gunpowder in this era, but the quality level was uneven. After all, only Wayne has mastered the ratio of sulfur and dinitrate charcoal in this world, and he has to do it in one step and make granular black powder.

Wayne's granular black powder was used for a long time in the previous life, and it was only on the eve of World War I that it was replaced by smokeless gunpowder. Now that I have developed granular black powder, I can say that I don't have to worry about gunpowder for a long time.

Looking at the group of gunpowder craftsmen in front of Evans mentioned in the letter, he did everything possible to find them and added a high gold reward to send them. The materials were also bought at five times the usual price, and they were bought urgently from a close friend.

However, Wayne saw that the city's war potential was great, but it had not yet been stimulated. I just asked for it yesterday, and now I sent it. This second commercial city in the northwest of the Kingdom of Rune lives up to its name. Now all you have to do is to unleash the city's war potential.

However, I still need to get the gunpowder out in front of me and wait for the cannon to be formed. Let Evans see it himself, and at the same time give the group of businessmen confidence that they can issue war securities. At that time, money flowed.

Wayne told the craftsmen to hurry to work, and the granulation of gunpowder was made in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in Europe. So the technology is fine, the most important thing is to be safe or safe.

Drawing knowledge of black powder in his mind, Wayne guided the group of craftsmen. This group of craftsmen usually makes black powder.

"Remember, you must not let sand and gravel get mixed in, otherwise it will easily explode, which is why I want to keep this room tidy. Slow down, you're not killed by the elves, you're going to be blown up. ”

Wayne wiped a cold sweat, the group of craftsmen usually came into contact with gunpowder. It's bold, and his hands are constantly grinding there, and it's very fast. But it was a re-formulated gunpowder, completely different from the gunpowder they had touched before. It's not just a little bit more powerful.

After getting the gunpowder, Wayne asked the craftsmen to come around. After they were at a safe distance, Wayne lit the gunpowder. Even though Wayne was running fast, he still choked on the white smoke.

This group of craftsmen was dumbfounded, their craft was handed down from their ancestors, and they were proficient in this skill, and this skill had been immersed in it for a long time.

But today, I saw a new type of gunpowder that burned at a speed 10 times the speed of ordinary gunpowder, and looking at this thick white smoke, the power was not small. One by one, their mouths opened wide.

When Wayne came out, regardless of his smoky face, he warned everyone, "This gunpowder is not as powerful as your previous gunpowder, and if you are not careful, you will die, so you must be careful." ”

The group of craftsmen nodded approvingly, after all, nothing is more important than life.

At this time, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old in this group of craftsmen had wandering eyes and his legs were a little shaky. Finally make up your mind.

"Master Wayne, I wonder why, the gunpowder made by this method is more powerful and burns violently. ”

Wayne followed the childish voice and saw a childish face and a look hungry for knowledge. At this time, an old man next to him quickly knelt down. Tremble voice

"Young Master Wayne, this is my apprentice, and he is still young and ignorant. I offended the young master, and I ask the young master to forgive me. ”

Although the craftsmen here have a higher status than the ancient craftsmen of their own country in the previous life, they are still commoners after all, and they are naturally servants of the nobility.

Wayne waved his hand and smiled as he beckoned the boy to his side.

"At this point, the gunpowder is granular, so it burns faster. What's more important is my ratio, want to know more. ”

Wayne's encouraging look emboldened the boy a lot, and he nodded, "Think about it." ”

It's impossible to teach your skills all the time, you have to have someone who has the courage to explore. Technology can move forward, otherwise even if you have a memory palace, you won't be able to go far.

Wayne had already trained this teenager as a first-generation scientist in his heart.

"What's your name?" Wayne asked.

"Master Wayne, my name is Reynolds. The boy replied excitedly.

After telling the young father to get up, Wayne asked the young man to take him with him so that he could teach. The boy's father, of course, was too late to rejoice.

Wayne called Hinderson Butler.

Said solemnly, "Butler Hinderson, I have an important matter for you to help me, and this matter is extremely confidential. That said, no one can interfere without my permission. ”

Hinderson has taken care of himself since he was a child, and he has come to a dangerous place. Hinderson is also unabandoned, and he is Wayne's most relieved person.

Watch Wayne gradually begin to deal with territorial matters and begin to become a qualified lord. Hinderson has been in a good mood these days, and now Master Wayne has important virtues to hand over to himself, and he must do it well.

also solemnly replied, "Although the young master commands, don't look at me old." Back then, I had seen the world with Count Niels, and there was nothing I hadn't done. ”

Wayne smiled, "Butler Hinderson, I trust you the most, that's why I asked you to do it." I'm telling you right now that there's a workshop and a foundry that requires a high level of secrecy. No, I have commanded that no one shall go in or come out. The people who come out of it must be kept an eye on to prevent contact with suspicious people, and the things that are usually transported in must be strictly checked. You can go to Evans and ask for a few teams of city guards to assist you. ”

When Hinderson heard that Wayne trusted him, he felt that he had not suffered in vain for more than ten years. Tears rolled in his eyes. Still said solemnly, "Young Master Wayne, leave this matter to me." If you don't do it well, you will deal with it according to the family law. ”

Wayne hurriedly said, "Butler Hinderson, this is not good, who will I send to do things if I hurt you." ”

Hinderson laughed.

"Master Wayne, you look at me a little, my body is tough. ”

A few days later, the city of Nolan sent off the envoy of the Marquis of Barnfinger. The envoy of the Marquis of Barnfinger left with many gifts and a scolding from the people of Nolan City, and he had done a lot of bad things these days.

But Wayne didn't care, he had more to do. The clay embryo is ready, divided into 6 sections. Each section is divided in half, and the cannon mold can be cast by tightening it with a rack.

This iron model is related to whether the cannon he will build in the future is standard, so Wayne is particularly cautious. Tell the craftsman not to be fast, if you destroy the size, it will be broken.

And Wayne taught the essentials of this group of craftsmen a day in advance, as well as the superficial distancing. The deeper principle, naturally, only Reynolds knows. But he still doesn't understand, and it just so happens that there is a rare practice today, let him see it and deepen his understanding.

When the molten iron is poured, the craftsmen. Begin to use sheep intestines as a tube, and cool the molten iron inside around the mud embryo. If there is rubber, you can make rubber tubes, not sheep intestines.
