From the Holy See's Bible, it is known that before the birth of the Holy Goddess of Light, the world was shrouded in darkness and cold, and people had to resist all kinds of beasts and monsters, but also escape from the hunt of dark demons.

After the birth of the goddess of holy light, the world had light, and then there was a spring flower.

Therefore, people regard the day of the birth of the goddess of light as the first day of the year, also known as the birthday of the gods, and the day before the birthday of the gods is called the festival of peace.

Why is it called Peace Day, it probably means that you have lived peacefully for another year.

These two days are the most solemn festivals for the people of the Holy Light Continent, and they attach the same importance to Christmas and Chinese New Year in the west of the earth.

On both days, the festival is celebrated in a variety of ways, from noble merchants to commoner slaves and, of course, pirates.

Seeing that the god's birthday is still a month away, the pirates of Crescent Island are also busy, going out to sea almost every day to find prey and prepare for a sumptuous festival.

Downer was still left on the island, and he was called a caretaker.

Donner is happy to be idle, to be happy in his own suffering, to be busy with his own business.

However, there are also troubles for him, and every time Eddard and these slaves come back, they almost have to complain to him, and even beg him to take them out of the pirate group, and every time Donner has to comfort him.

Donald begged Anderson to build the iron pipes, including various small accessories for the musket.

Originally, Donner's idea was to make a flintlock pistol, but his idea was too simple, with the conditions of this world, not only did he not have elastic steel plates, but more importantly, he searched the entire Crescent Island, but he didn't find flint at all.

Instead, he found a large magnet at the blacksmith's shop, but the magnet had an egg, and he wanted flint.

Without flint, there would be no flintlock pistol. But the steel pipe and the trigger were made, and even the wooden handle and the whole strip were made, and it was impossible to throw them away again.

Better than boring, Donner had no choice but to settle for a pester, intending to play with an arquebus instead.

A flintlock pistol was originally intended to be used for self-defense at critical times, but it was made into an arquebus, with that kind of loading speed and complexity of operation, to prevent a fart.

While the reloading speed is the same, the arquebus has an additional step that requires an ignition rope before firing. This...... It is estimated that before he can light the fire, people can chop him up.

On the contrary, the flintlock pistol is different, it can be reloaded in advance, and at a critical time, pulling the trigger can kill a person.

This was not the most frustrating, to his dismay was that there was both sulfur and charcoal, but saltpeter ...... There are only a few small ones in Temayuri.

Without saltpeter, there would be no gunpowder, and as for the arquebus, it became a joke.

Fortunately, there are still some wheat fields on Crescent Island, and the residents have the habit of accumulating fat.

Donner was bored and took some little pirates to the corner of the toilet in the animal pen to scrape the dirt, which made the island's residents and pirates laugh a lot.

So much so that when Anna saw him, she would cover her mouth and snicker, and even Jasmine's eyes were very strange every time she saw him.

Outside the house, a group of small pirates were fighting, and Donner concentrated on pouring concentrated water into the cauldron, which was burning with fire.

Wait until the water evaporates and removes two-thirds, and the wooden spatula stirs in the pot, which can be stripped into filaments on the shovel, and then stop boiling the nitrate.

Next, Donner filters the concentrated nitrate through a burlap, then rinses it again with hot water, and then filters it through a finer cloth.

After the filtrate cooled, white crystals began to precipitate, which is crude potassium nitrate, also known as fire nitrate, which contains a small amount of impurities, which can barely make gunpowder, of course, Donner further purified these fire nitrates.

After a toss, Donner tossed out a total of about two or three catties of fire nitrate with good purity.

Donner wiped his sweat, and now the saltpeter and sulfur charcoal finally came alive.

What is the best recipe for black powder, Donner thought about it, and then after blasting away a group of bear children, he took the fire to the house and slowly ground the crystals.

Then a part of the nitrate is separated, made according to the ratio of one nitrate, two sulfonates and three charcoals, and then granulated with seabird egg whites, and finally the processed gunpowder is placed in the house to dry.

Needless to say, the benefits of granulating black powder are that the first one prevents the composition from being uneven, or during transportation, causing the relatively light toner to float.

The second is that it is conducive to moisture prevention.

Third, granulated gunpowder has a large contact area, which can accelerate combustion and enhance the explosion power.

Gunpowder is one of the four great inventions of China, and it is the first country in the world to use thermal weapons since the Song Dynasty.

Of course, at that time, the quality of gunpowder was too poor to meet the minimum energy requirements, and the explosion was unsatisfactory, and many times it was used as a fireworks explosion.

It is the Western countries that really make gunpowder shine on the battlefield, which has to be said to be an irony for the Chinese.

Being able to know how to make muskets and gunpowder granules in detail is actually thanks to the fact that Donner often reads various historical farming texts in novels.

The next afternoon.

When the gunpowder had dried, Donner crushed the chunks with a wooden hammer and sifted them through a sieve to find the right size of the gunpowder particles.

Packed these black powder particles in a prepared bamboo pot, he went to the back of Crescent Island with a short arquebus.

On the back of Crescent Island is a sea cliff, about 20 meters high, and below is the blue sea, with surging waves lapping under the cliff in waves, shattering bones and forming water splashes.

When Donner arrived with a wooden board with circles on it, he happened to see a girl here.

It was Jasmine, the daughter of the pirate leader.

Jasmine is wearing a white ruffled skirt today, which is probably a feature of this world's clothing, and the thin belt behind the skirt tightens Jasmine's waistline, and the whole body is concave and convex.

She sat peacefully on the rocks of the sea cliff, her brown hair dancing in the wind. Due to the sea breeze for a long time, his skin is not as white and pink as that of the nobles, but in Donner's eyes, he can definitely score eight points on a standard of ten points.

Donner wondered a little, he had been to this place a few times, but there was no one there, and those little pirates had been stopped by the adults.

And few of the residents and pirates are bored and come here, how did Jasmine come here today?

Someone was here, and there was no way to try the gun, and Donner walked up to say hello, only to see Jasmine holding a palm-sized black cuboid in front of her face.

Donner saw a burst of surprise that this ...... Isn't this his phone?

When this thing followed him through the time, it was searched by the people of the slave team, how did it fall into Jasmine's hands, and she used it as a mirror?

"You know this?" Jasmine saw Donner and raised her phone in her hand.

Donner regained his expression and smiled, "Yes, this is my thing, you got it from the mine owner?"

"Yes. Jasmine was surprised, and said, "But are you sure it's yours?" Can you tell me what it is?"

Donner said, "I'll tell you, how about you give it back to me." ”

The phone is estimated to be out of battery, and in this world without electricity and communication, it is useless, but it is the only thing he left from the earth, and it has some commemorative significance, so Donner wants to come back.

"Tell me what it is. ”

"Okay!" said Donner with a smile, "This is a Pandora's box, open it will release a demon, I think you should give it to me!"

After hearing this, the corners of Jasmine's mouth curled, glanced at Donner, and then got up and left.

Donner was stunned, looked at Jasmine's back, and said, "Alas, I told you, you haven't given me anything yet!"

Jasmine didn't reply, but just raised the phone in her hand, which probably means that the demon should be handed over to me for safekeeping.
