Chapter 5: I'm going to make some big killers!
She had already arranged for Chen Xiao's future life, so that he could safely spend this dazed period in the village. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter all, this guy just lost his memory and won't know anything, if you ignore him, this guy probably won't live long.
Chen Xiao looked at Lux in a daze, seeing the other party's anxious look, a trace of warmth walked in his heart.
He clenched his fists, struggling to search for the knowledge in his head.
He felt he had to do something. Even if he is used as a bait, he must give himself insurance, otherwise his life will be lost, and he will cry to someone.
"Can you help me find a few things to come back to?" Chen Xiao said.
He is a chemical dog who has been engaged in the chemical industry for many years!
Although he is not a scientist or a professional, he is just a chemical dog who graduated from a bachelor's degree, but at least he is a scholar, and the chemical knowledge in his brain has not been lost. In this case, you must make full use of your knowledge.
Don't they all say that knowledge is power!
"What's that?"
"Saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal. Chen Xiao took a deep breath, and his words were extremely confident: "I'm going to make some big killers!"
Since this is an era of backward technology, then, he can play his role.
He didn't know if this world had given birth to such a big killer as black powder, but at this time, he had to make full use of the existing conditions and create conditions for himself.
Lux looked at Chen Xiao with a confused expression, and tilted her cute head: "I know both sulfur and charcoal, but what is saltpeter? What kind of big killer?"
Chen Xiao smiled and said patiently: "Saltpeter is potassium nitrate. Seeing that Lux looked like I didn't understand, he gave up explaining it to her, and said, "Where can I find brimstone and charcoal?"
"Sulphur is not common, but there should be a blacksmith shop in the village. Charcoal is more common. ”
"Let's go, let's go into the village. Give me a day. Tomorrow we'll go hunting monsters again. Chen Xiao took Lux's hand and hurried to the village.
Lux was held by Chen Xiao and felt inexplicable.
However, Chen Xiao is enthusiastic and full of confidence, although it is still a little mysterious, it is better for Lux to help Chen Xiao collect these materials.
There is the only blacksmith shop in the village, which has been in business for many years. The blacksmith Sapu is the second-generation master of the blacksmith and a rare bronze-level warrior in the village. Lux's swordsmanship and fighting qi cultivation methods were actually taught by Sapp privately, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a master.
However, Sapp never admitted to teaching Lax any swordsmanship and fighting spirit.
The bearded man was standing in front of the charcoal stove, picking up a piece of red-hot iron with his iron tongs, and striking it again and again on the iron felt. The sound of clanging is endless.
His muscles were exaggerated, covered with green tendons, and the water chestnut horns were distinct, which was the result of years of iron training.
Lux walked in and yelled at Sapp, "Old man, I'm here." ”
Sapp glanced at Lux, a hint of doting flashing in his eyes, but his face was cool and silent. He forged the red-hot iron into shape, and then inserted the iron into the charcoal furnace, then turned to face Lux, and said in a harsh and stern voice, "This is not the place for you to come, don't come if it's okay." The famous Bronze Warrior of Lux, my little shop can't stand your toss. That guy in Orca's eyes may have made me a target to be suppressed. ”
"Old man, it's as cool as ever. If it weren't for this guy, I wouldn't want to come. Lux shrugged her shoulders and revealed Chen Xiao. Sapp glared at him, blew his beard and glared, "I know, the stranger who spoke against the mouse card yesterday. ”
The village is not big, and big and small things will become the villagers' jokes after dinner.
Chen Xiao walked out from behind Lux and smiled politely: "Uncle Sap, please help." He smiled humbly, there was no way, people had to bow their heads under the eaves.
Lux turned her face, not wanting to see Chen Xiao's groveling appearance at all. Her temperament is actually very similar to that of Sap, both of them are as stubborn as a stone in a pit, smelly and hard.
Sapp clasped his hands and looked at Chen Xiao coldly, without a good face, "Why do you want to help you? After helping you, if you are retaliated by Orka and them, do you think I will help you?"
Chen Xiao broke out in a cold sweat. Now that they are penniless, and they have offended the baron Orka, the bully of the village, and there really is no bargaining chip that can make Sap risk his life to help them.
The air was silent, except for the "beep" sound of the charcoal burning in the stove, which gave off a sultry smell.
Chen Xiao gritted his teeth, he clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "I will change this status quo, change this village, and even change this world!"
He spoke loudly, and a confidence that had never appeared before burst into his eyes, a confidence he had never had in that world.
In that world, he was mediocre and lived without the slightest passion. He will not tie up with his boss and promote his position in the company, he will not meet friends, he will always be lonely, living in his own world all day long, to put it bluntly, he is a dead house.
But now, he has crossed over and entered this technologically backward world.
Martial arts fighting skills are prevalent in this world, and there is a mysterious and powerful existence like a magician, but the technology and humanistic life in this world are very backward, as a chemical dog, Chen Xiao feels that his opportunity has come.
An opportunity to change yourself and change the world!
Sapp grabbed Chen Xiao's collar, pulled him in front of his eyes, and looked at Chen Xiao condescendingly. He had bloodshot copper bell eyes and big eyes, as if he wanted to see through Chen Xiao, a foreigner.
The air froze.
Then Sapp burst into a burst of laughter, and he burst into tears. What Chen Xiao said was the funniest thing he had ever heard.
Change the status quo, change the village, change the world?
"Interesting. Sapp let go of Chen Xiao, revealing Huang Chengcheng's big teeth, and said with a smile: "What do you need help with?" ”
Chen Xiao immediately said: "I need a lot of charcoal. Charcoal needs to be ground into a powder. There is also a lot of sulfur. It also needs to be ground into a powder. ”
"Charcoal is everywhere, but sulfur is not very common, and I only have a small stock here. If you want a lot of brimstone, you have to go to the Walloon Hill and gather it. It's an active volcano, and this kind of thing is going to happen. Sapu looked at Chen Xiao with a puzzled face, not knowing what the idea of this foreigner was, and what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
With that, Sapp pulled out a burlap bag from the warehouse and poured out the contents. It was a fist-sized yellow stone. Chen Xiao took it and took a look, and sniffed it again, the pungent smell made Chen Xiao feel a sense of familiarity that he had not seen for a long time.
These yellow stones are very pure sulfur ores.
This eliminates the need to purify sulphur ore. After all, to purify sulfur ore, some special equipment and methods are needed, and in this era, with his current situation, it is impossible to purify sulfur ore in a short period of time.
"What's the use of this stinky stone?" Sapp wondered. This stinky stone called sulfur has a very pungent smell, ordinary people don't like to smell it, and mosquitoes can't avoid it, so most of them are used to repel mosquitoes, snakes and ants.
Chen Xiao smiled, "It's useful." These pieces of sulfur ore weigh five or six pounds, which is enough to make the first batch of "big killers".
With charcoal and sulfur, the raw materials for making "black powder", a mass killer, are just "saltpeter". In this era, saltpeter does not seem to have been widely spread, and ordinary people have not even heard of it. So much so that when Chen Xiao said the chemical name "potassium nitrate", Lux was confused and didn't know why.
Perhaps, there is no such thing as a "periodic table" in this world.
As for saltpeter, since both Sapp and Lux didn't know what it was, Chen Xiao could only make it himself. The method of making nitrate is very simple, in their world, as long as there is a person who has knowledge of chemistry, they all know the method of making nitrate from earthwork, if you don't know, you can find it at a glance directly on Du Niang.
