Chapter 12: Black Powder

"Dynamite!"

Almost without thinking about it, Chu Ping blurted out that there is no simpler and cruder way than this.

"Dynamite?" the village chief and the others were stunned.

"Why?" I rub, the world wouldn't be without explosives, would they? They hadn't heard of it?

Chu Ping was about to open his mouth to explain, but the village chief who had just listened continued, "You are talking about black powder, right? Only the army of the Imperial City has those things, and we have only heard of them, but we have never seen them. ”

Oh, it seems that this barren continent also has a hierarchy.

"Ahem, cough, yes, it's black powder!" Although Chu Ping is still preparing to find raw materials for refining, and now there is no set of sophisticated instruments in the chemical laboratory, nitrate refining is still not difficult, but obviously this condition is afraid that the purity of refining is not good, and the power is afraid that it will be greatly reduced, but it will still be available.

But where to find the brimstone!

Does this work?

But now this method is the best way to protect everyone, and you can avoid a head-to-head confrontation with strange beasts!

Don't expect this group of old and weak women and children to fight with wild beasts, although it seems unfeasible, it is the best way.

Although the power of black powder is not enough, according to the memory of his science students, the formula of gunpowder is much more accurate, and it is not bad that it can be applied within 200 meters.

After making up his mind, Chu Ping continued, "Village Chief, you have people collect the mud walls, the more white mold grows around the thatched houses, the better! ”

"What are you letting you do this?" The village chief was very old, and seeing that Chu Ping was so determined, he didn't feel puzzled, could it be that he still wanted to make black powder himself.

Chu Ping pursed his lips and smiled, "Didn't the village chief already guess it?" Yes, Xiaodao is just going to refine black powder. ”

"Village Chief, this ......" Several middle-aged people beside him obviously suspected that this little Taoist priest was too confident, not to mention that the black powder was so expensive, how could it be said that it was refined.

"Go for it......"

Unexpectedly, although the village chief obviously didn't believe it in his eyes, there was no other way now, so he could only glance at Chu Ping's thin body and wave his hand, which could be regarded as acquiescing to Chu Ping's approach.

There are not many people up and down in this village, but you can't really prepare for the day when danger comes, look at Chu Ping, where is like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

"Then bother the village chief, first find a vacant place and wait for the trail, and the trail will go back!" Chu Ping still has to find a way to get sulfur.

Although the village chief didn't believe Chu Ping very much, he was now convinced by his firm attitude, and it was impossible to fool people to say that they were so head-to-head.

"Well, you go and come back quickly!" came the village chief's instructions behind him, and it seems that the effect is good, at least the trust level has risen from zero to one or two points!

The hard work pays off, but it will take until the explosives are made to truly regain trust.

"System, how can you get sulfur?"

When he got to a place where there was no one, Chu Ping got straight to the point, and now he didn't have time to beat around the bush.

Stayed for a long time......

"I can give it to you!" Chu Ping hung Lao Gao's heart before putting it back in place, this forced me to give you 100 points, the system is very stable!

"You can say the conditions, how can you give it to me!" Chu Ping is not naïve now, and the system will not give you candy for no reason.

"You're a lot smarter. The system muttered, and then continued, "How much do you want? The host can be exchanged for moral points, one cent and one kilogram!"

Rub, a good deed accumulates one point, only one kilogram of sulfur, how much gunpowder can be made from this? Chu Ping quickly calculated in his heart, no, such a quantity is far from enough.

"Can I take credit first?"

The only way to do it now, Chu Ping could only ask cheekily.

"Hehe......"

Huh you mb chu ping resisted the urge to roll his eyes or wait happily It is unlikely that it will be a positive answer.

"Okay, I'll give you five kilograms first! You need to do five side quests to smooth it out, OK?"

There are rewards for completing the five side quests, but they can't be exchanged for five moral points, but now they do need sulfur, and they can only agree, so you are ruthless!

"Okay, deal!"

As soon as the words came out, a cloth bag appeared on the ground in front of him, Chu Ping opened it and took a look, and sure enough, it was sulfur.

Chu Ping didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly entered the village, presumably all the labor that could be used in the village was used now, and asked someone to inquire where the village chief was, so he went to the east of the village.

From a distance, I saw that the cauldron stove had been built, the bamboo had been cut down, and a lot of soil according to Chu Ping's requirements had been collected from each household one by one.

When the village chief saw Chu Ping returning from a distance, he no longer glared angrily, but greeted him quite eagerly, "Little Dao Chief, everything is almost ready." Eyes said that the white cloth bag in Chu Ping's hand looked over, and he was naturally curious about this moment, where did Chu Ping go?

"Well, add water to this pot in batches and stir it well, then use a dustpan to remove the sediment, and finally put it in the pot and add fire to evaporate the water, and the rest of the things will not be moved, the trail is useful. Chu Ping bowed his head, and walked up according to the procedure in his memory, I don't know how much this nitrate refines, and take a look, "There is also charcoal ash after burning for Xiaodao." ”

While waiting for the nitrate to be refined, Chu Ping asked the villagers to saw down the bamboo tubes that could be used.

Arrange the sections neatly one by one, and then dig a small hole in the middle, and you're done.

After the first batch of nitrate was refined, Chu Ping was not sure in his heart, so he took some nitrate first, and estimated that the sulfuric acid and charcoal ash were configured according to the best ratio, and then began the experiment.

Peng——

Because it was an experiment, Chu Ping went to a remote open space to see what kind of power it could release, and saw that the soil instantly bounced up half a foot high, and it was done!

Chu Ping is still very satisfied, he is afraid of hurting people, so he has reduced the dose a lot, and now he can confidently do it one by one according to the proportion.

Chu Ping couldn't do so much alone, so he gave the first gesture to the villagers and carefully explained them one by one.

Showing the power in public again, this time it was not a small dose, and I saw that a small tree was easily blown off.

......

Everyone was still immersed in shock and couldn't come back to their senses, this is really black powder!

"Okay, village chief, there are only so many raw materials, all the small paths are given to you, you just do it, remember to store it in a cool place and avoid the sun, otherwise I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable!" Chu Ping was also quite satisfied with everyone's reaction.

"Yes, yes, naturally it will be properly preserved. The village chief wiped the sweat from his forehead, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have believed that a little Taoist priest could have such a great ability.
