Chapter 43 Potassium nitrate

"Brother Zhao, why are you here?" Yu Xiuqi saw Zhao Li walking into the gate of the "Hundred Herb Garden" and happily greeted him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"I want to buy something. ”

Zhao Li looked around the store, the bad attitude of Director Luo had been sent to Yinquan Mountain, and Bi Xinshi was not in the store.

"Come and buy pills again?"

Yu Xiuqi was a little surprised, Zhao Li purchased tens of thousands of taels of pills last time, which can be eaten for several months.

"No, I'd like to buy some saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. Zhao Li thought for a while and replied.

"Brother Zhao, are you going to make firecrackers?"

When Yu Xiuqi heard this, it was even more strange.

'What?' Is it true that the formula for gunpowder has long been known in the world?'

This is possible, this is a world with developed cultivation, and the gunpowder formula was first discovered from alchemy, so it is not surprising that Zhao Li thought about it a little.

"Then do you have this?" Zhao Li didn't explain much.

"Yes. Yu Xiuqi nodded.

Most of the alchemy monks know about the 'firecracker formula', but in order to avoid it during alchemy, this thing is not powerful in their opinion, especially the ignition trigger conditions are really ridiculous, there is no need for in-depth research at all, what "fireball charm", "three-element chain fire" These very simple and basic spells represent that the "firecracker formula" is really a scum.

"How many spirit stones do you want?" Zhao Li asked.

"What kind of spirit stones do you want, these things are all used in alchemy, they are not valuable, I will just get some for you." ”

Yu Xiuqi is very bold, now he is an official disciple of Baicaomen, although he is from the outer door, but his identity is also different from what it used to be, and it is no problem to send some alchemy materials, especially to Baicaoyuan's big consumer customers...

Tea Buck 2nd Floor, 'Laboratory'.

"Boss Zhao, this is the grass ash you want. ”

Master Zhuang carried a large bucket of grass and wood ash and sent it to Zhao Li.

Although Master Zhuang didn't know much about the use of grass and wood ash, since it was an order from the allegiance object of the heart demon contract, it had to be completed well, so Zhao Li's request to 'get a small bucket of grass and wood ash' was directly overdone.

"Just in time, you crush the ashes of the plants and trees you brought. ”

Zhao Li was grinding saltpeter at the moment, and saltpeter and plant ash were one of the raw materials used to make black powder.

After Master Zhuang put down a large bucket of plant ash, he honestly took out some of them, smashed them carefully, and at the same time, looked at the room that Zhao Li called 'laboratory' with some curiosity.

There are many empty rooms in Chabak, and this room was announced by Zhao Li a few days ago as a 'laboratory', and no one is allowed to enter.

In the room, which had been empty a few days ago, there were several tables at this time, and they were filled with all kinds of strange-shaped bottles and cans.

These strange-shaped bottles and cans were all made by Zhao Li after drawing sketches on paper and asking Master Zhuang to find a monk to refine, and Boss Zhao also gave these bottles and jars a lot of names, such as "test tube", "beaker", "distillation flask", "round-bottomed flask", "large evaporation dish", "glass rod" and the like, which made Master Zhuang very confused, what is the use of these things?

In addition to these things, what made Master Zhuang even more puzzled was that in the corner of the room, there were also several sacks of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal powder.

With a stomach full of questions, Master Zhuang worked with Zhao Li, and after a while, a lot of saltpeter and plant ash came out.

At this time, Zhao Li stopped pounding saltpeter, took some pounded plant ash from Master Zhuang, mixed saltpeter and plant ash together according to a certain ratio, and put it in a large beaker.

Master Zhuang continued to pound while curiously seeing what Zhao Li was going to do.

I saw Zhao Li add a lot of hot water to the mixture of saltpeter and plant ash, and then began to stir it.

"It's not like alchemy at all..."

Master Zhuang muttered in a low voice, and regardless of Zhao Li's follow-up actions, he honestly continued to tinker with the ashes of the grass and trees.

To be honest, Master Zhuang is very satisfied with his current life, anyway, it is no different to follow the Freemasons or the Blood Sea Crazy Knife Gang, he is not the boss, when he followed Huang Batian, he didn't earn as many spirit stones as he does now, and he was really convinced of Zhao Li, so what did Boss Zhao say, he would do it honestly now.

By the time Master Zhuang smashed more than half of the ashes, Zhao Li's work came to an end.

When Master Zhuang found that what Zhao Li was holding in his hand was a pile of white crystals, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Boss Zhao, what is this?" ”

"Potassium nitrate. ”

Zhao Li looked at the beaker 'Potassium Nitrate Crystal' in his hand with great satisfaction.

With this, and then mix it with sulfur and charcoal powder in a ratio of 2:1:3, that is the standard black powder, and it will be no problem to play with flintlock pistols.

"Potassium nitrate?"

Master Zhuang was confused, he absolutely couldn't understand this kind of chemical term.

"Tomorrow you pack up and come down the mountain with me to hunt. ”

Zhao Li didn't intend to explain to Master Zhuang what potassium nitrate was, and directly made another request to him.

"What, hunting..."

Master Zhuang couldn't figure out what was going on in Zhao Li's head at all, what monk would go hunting when he was full of food and had nothing to do?

First of all, that kind of demon beast that has opened its spiritual wisdom and can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, as far as he and Zhao Li's cultivation is concerned, it is completely insufficient, at least a few foundation builders can go together, so this kind of hunting is definitely unrealistic.

As for the beasts that have not yet opened their spiritual wisdom and cannot absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, what are they going to do? The monks who can eat Bigu Dan do not bother to eat the meat of this beast at all.

"You don't care so much, don't worry, just shoot ordinary pheasants, wild boars or something. By the way, bring two more people. ”

Zhao Li added, the wild in this world is still very dangerous, even those ordinary pheasants and wild boars are very combative, and it is safe to bring two more thugs.

Master Zhuang nodded, indicating that he understood, what Zhao Li said about bringing two more people meant bringing two 'former Blood Sea Crazy Knife Gang thugs'.

"By the way, what's going on with that information interaction platform plan lately?"

Zhao Li began to mix these potassium nitrates with sulfur and charcoal powder, and then remembered something, and asked Master Zhuang.

Zhuang Xing sent a demon contract to Zhao Li, and Zhao Li dared to use him with confidence, and now Zhuang Xing has no specific assigned work in the Freemasonry, and he is in charge of four people, all of whom have abandoned the dark and turned to the light' of the 'former Blood Sea Crazy Knife Gang', and they are in the town of Chabak Town on weekdays.

Therefore, although Zhuang Xing had never participated in Zhao Li's business plans, he knew some relevant information.

"Boss Zhao, there is already a regular store willing to join our plan, it is a veterinary material store, the one not far from our tea bar. ”

"Oh, which account manager did it?"

Zhao Li asked, originally he thought that he would have to go out on his own for these things, but he didn't expect that there would still be capable people in the meeting.

"It's not an account manager, it's a small trotter downstairs, called Wen Dashan. ”

Zhuang Xing's answer exceeded Zhao Li's expectations.

"Bundayama..."

Zhao Li thought about it and had a little impression, as if he was indeed only recruited as a temporary clerk, so he said to Zhuang Xing:

"Master Zhuang, you will convey it later, in a few days, when the Yuntai Mountain gathering is over, I will hold a summary meeting, all account managers will participate, and you will also call Nawen Dashan." ”
