Chapter 51: A New Kind of Gunpowder

Lord Marquis Redham left with a few carts of steel territory specialties, High Priest Medusa and ten young priests stayed, before Count Modo built a new temple for them, they will be responsible for the education of the Iron Collar Primary School for a period of time, every priest in the orc empire is knowledgeable and learned, how can Count Modo be willing to let them stay idle like this.

As for the question of learning the song of courage of the god of war, the little dwarf said that he would definitely teach it as long as he had time.

With the addition of dozens of fox people brought by High Priest Trash, everything is in order, and the fox people are indeed the most intelligent race among the orcs, with finances, basic civil administration, and even basic education in primary school.

High Priest Tracy also told the little dwarf that after his lord's house was completed, the Fox Grierson family would send someone to discuss his marriage to the little fox, these people were all members of the Grierson family, and Modo, who was about to become a relative, could safely hand over the civil affairs to them.

This made Niu Dali feel relieved to hand over all the civil affairs to Helena and the fox people, and after bidding farewell to the high priest Tracy again, Niu Dali, who was finally idle, began to turn his attention to the military and began to study the improvement of muskets and gunpowder.

Niu vigorously played with the dwarf musket in his hand, this is still the old gray dwarf Pluto joined the territory, specially presented the heirloom treasure, at that time was the old cow tried to put a shot after the great disappointment of letting the flint put away, now suddenly want to find out and study, the result is that the flint is easy to find.

Dwarves with relatively short hands and feet were more reluctant to use long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, because their short hands made it difficult for them to draw and wind their bows, so they developed strange things like dwarven muskets.

First of all, in order to make the power of the musket not too much worse than the bow and arrow, it is necessary to put a large amount of gunpowder in the chamber of the gun, and Niu Dali watched old Pluto hand over the gunpowder formula like a treasure, and was speechless.

In addition to sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter, they also added more than a dozen messy things, so that when the gun was fired, in addition to the smoke and smell, the power was really not very good, and it also led to insufficient combustion of gunpowder, and after a few shots, there would be a large amount of gunpowder residue in the barrel, so that the user had to clean the chamber before continuing to shoot.

At the same time, the most important barrel steel quality of the dwarven musket is not very good, in order not to explode in the process of shooting, the dwarves made the barrel very thick, which caused the musket to weigh dozens of pounds, it is estimated that even the main force of the population such as the kobold and the pig-headed man will not be able to hold it for long, not to mention that Niu Dali plans to adapt it into the musket troop rabbits.

The well-defended steel base, a break room temporarily cleared out and became Niu Dali's laboratory, the old cow easily processed gunpowder, he had used homemade explosives countless times in his previous life to fry fish, this thing is too simple, the only difference from the previous life is that potassium nitrate fertilizer can be bought there, and it is easier and more powerful to use that.

Flint guarded the door with two ogres armed to the ass, not even a fly was put in, except for Pluto, the director of the steel base, no one was qualified to go in and take a look, the secret level of the gunpowder formula and production process, the old cow looked at it more than the steelmaking technology.

In the eyes of old Pluto full of resentment, except for the sulfur, charcoal and saltpeter, the rest of the things were thrown away by Niu Dali, if it wasn't for the magic of Lord Modo before, his cognition was changed several times, and the stubborn old gray dwarf would have been able to jump up at that time.

According to the recipe in memory, Niu vigorously stirred the three ingredients together in proportion, then wet the evenly mixed gunpowder with water, and then kneaded it into a dough like making steamed buns, then flattened the dough and carefully dried it in the scorching sun, and finally broke the dried dough cake and filtered it through a fine stopper.

It took about two hourglasses to make a total of about ten catties of black powder.

Leaving a small half catty as medicine, the rest of the gunpowder was all thickly wrapped by Niu Dali with cotton cloth, layer after layer at least a dozen layers, leading a few ogres and a large group of gray dwarves watching the excitement, Niu Dali came out of the steel base, intending to test the power.

He placed the gunpowder bag on a large flat stone, and after a dozen steps, he used a thick wooden stake to fix two sets of full-body armor on it, and two live little Rosamon were forcibly stuffed into the armor.

The half-catty of gunpowder deliberately left behind was evenly scattered into a long lead, and then the dirt buns who were not afraid of death were kicked and driven out of the distance.

A loud explosion rang out, and the dirt buns who were far away were still dusty from the flying pebbles and dirt, and then they were stunned by the scene after the explosion.

Most of the large rocks where the explosives were placed were missing, and the remaining small half was also blown into five or six pieces, and the flying stones smashed the solid full-body armor into pits, and the two little Rosamon inside had already been shocked to death by the shock wave of the explosion.

"That's the power of the Great Magister-level spell!" Niu Dali nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Pluto: "Build a separate gunpowder workshop, separate the production process, select some of the most reliable people, and be responsible for one process each, and it is strictly forbidden to inquire about other processes with each other." ”

Lao Niu gritted his teeth and continued: "I will send an infantry squadron to be responsible for the safety of the workshop, and the workers who violate the regulations and the guys who come to inquire will all be killed." ”

The old gray dwarf who was frightened by the power of the new gunpowder couldn't help nodding, completely agreeing with this kind of secrecy measure, and even felt that it was a little insufficient: "I must select the most reliable people, find the ones that have been added the longest time, have enough family members, and every time the material ratio and stirring, let me and Tabli do it myself." ”

Niu Dali, who left the steel base and walked towards the city, thought in his heart, how much charcoal is needed, and he will not purify and process sulfur and saltpeter, it seems that high school students in his previous life will teach these things.

"Knowledge is power. The old headmaster's words were not wrong at all.

Niu Dali, who had no other way, could only send people to see if he could find these two natural mineral deposits in the territory, and before that, he still asked the caravan to help purchase dozens of carts over, and Lord Modo, who had long been worried about money, said that all the problems that could be solved with gold coins were not a problem.

Imagining that the future enemies will be under the blow of their musket teams and bombs, and the enemies who are holding their heads and running around, the little dwarfs will be happy to fly.
