"Has anyone made it over yet?"
At the same time, Ulric, who originally belonged to Quint, was sitting leisurely in the castle hall.
Although the castle that was invaded by dark creatures last time suffered varying degrees of damage, after these days, the cleaned and repaired castle has been restored to its original state.
"The young master has already rushed over and warned the serfs according to your instructions. If they dare to come back, they will be killed without mercy, and their father or brother will also die."
"Very well, now that my father has told me, the matter is done! Then let's go! Seal this castle of my good brother!"
In addition to checking out Quint Castle, Ulric came here this time to complete the tasks assigned by the Black Iron Earl.
The Black Iron Earldom also has Daughters of Doom. In the past, these Daughters of Doom were left to fend for themselves on the edge of the grassland.
However, in order to retaliate against Nalant this time, the Black Iron Earl specially ordered all the families of these girls of misfortune to be driven to the Storm Territory.
Don't think that this is a child's play for the daughter of misfortune. If you have relatives, the probability of becoming a daughter of misfortune is very high.
Therefore, those who drove these two hundred people over believed that one day they would bring misfortune to the Storm Territory. Even if there were only one or two Daughters of Doom, that would be enough for the Storm Territory Territory to be unlucky.
After saying that, Ulric locked the gate of the castle and then led the Black Iron Knights and cavalry back to the Black Iron Castle.
As for the Gwent Territory, it will no longer have this territory and will be reclassified to the Black Iron Earldom.
…
"Daughter of Doom, family members?" Nalant thought of something when he heard this.
"Old guy, you are trying to trick me, but I'm afraid you don't know. This is simply giving me my head!"
If he broke in this time, Narant, who was an ordinary serf, would have to worry about any conspiracy involved.
Now that he heard that these people were all the Daughters of Doom, Narant, who was a relative, knew what the Black Iron Earl was planning.
If another lord faced this situation, his face would probably turn green. This means that the territory is in increased danger.
But for Nalant, he wished that there were as many Daughters of Doom as possible. If he was not forced to keep a low profile due to formality, Nalant really wanted to send a notice to all the nobles to let them send the Daughters of Doom. Nuquan sent the storm collar.
This will not only increase his population, but also increase his chances of getting lucky girls.
"Sir, what should we do now? This girl said they would be killed if they went back!" Vivian felt that these girls could empathize with her and looked at her master with some anxiety at this moment.
Although she knew that she could change the fate of the Daughter of Misfortune, there were so many here, and there were only a few middle-aged serfs who were old and weak. The population was of no use to the nobles but would become a burden.
"Since you can't go back, then stay!" In Nalant's eyes, everyone who is old or weak can display their abilities.
Besides, as long as there are one or two lucky girls among the two hundred people, he will definitely make a profit without losing anything.
"Ah! What a lord! You are such a kind lord!" Vivian looked at his lord's beautiful eyes with admiration, and he liked that his lord was so kind and kind-hearted.
"Oh, Vivian, wasn't your lord unkind before?"
"Well! Sir, when I saw you, I knew at first sight that you were the kindest and noblest person!" Vivian actually started patting the horse as well.
"Haha!" Narant was in a great mood after receiving the lucky girl and the horse. "It's up to you to settle Vivian's family! Then you will also conduct a census of them!"
"Yes sir!"
Next, Narant ordered the guards to take these serfs to Lucky Village.
Of course, although there are clear reasons for these populations, Naranti will not be truly unprepared.
After leaving Vivian in charge of settling these serf girls, he himself returned to the castle and ordered Shirley to send Xiao Huihui and Bee to monitor these serfs.
Most of them are the Daughters of Doom, which may be their true identities, but he is worried that there are spies among them, so if there is any abnormal movement in the ones that Shirley is keeping an eye on, he can track them down.
…
"My lord, the first batch has been mined. All the ore has been crushed in the mill. Civil Affairs Officer Mario has just sent someone to deliver it. Do you want to check it?"
After Nalant finished explaining to Shirley, Thomas found him to report.
"Are you ready? Let's go and have a look!" Nalant has been waiting for the saltpeter mine for the past two days. After hearing about it, the producer went directly to the castle storage room.
When Narant came to the storage room, he saw jars filled with clay pots. The white powder was saltpeter powder.
"How many kilograms does Thomas's first batch of saltpeter mine weigh in total?"
"This big clay pot of yourselves can hold five kilograms of saltpeter powder, so there should be twenty-five kilograms in here!"
"Twenty-five pounds, this yield is not bad!" The little elf, the scope of action is one acre of land, naturally it is impossible for one acre of land to be filled with saltpeter mines.
Mineral deposits and reserves also have high and low levels.
In just a few days, I was able to get twenty-five kilograms, which is considered a high yield for pure mineral powder.
"You will send someone to deliver these four jars of Thomas's to Tulip City later! Remember to ask the servants to keep an eye on the saltpeter powder and make sure no one else steals it!"
"Yes sir!"
"Yes, I took this jar! By the way, now go and ask the servant to grind out a pound of charcoal powder and a pound of sulfur powder and send them to the fourth floor. I'll wait above!"
"Yes, sir!" Thomas respectfully stepped back and made arrangements without asking why.
After dismissing Thomas, Nalant carried a pound of saltpeter powder and headed towards the fourth floor.
Although black powder is very limited in this world, such as muskets, it is definitely useless against title knights, and muskets are cumbersome to make, cumbersome to use, and not economical.
However, as a time traveler, he was still prepared to use this gunpowder to light up the technology tree. After all, gunpowder is not necessarily used for muskets.
Are there other aspects of combat that may be made of earthenware and peeling off? But in terms of reputation, it is definitely good to break mountains and explode rocks.
In short, if you light up the technology tree first, you will be prepared in case you need it later.
As for black gunpowder, I believe that in the past life, as long as you are a younger generation, you have basically heard of the recipe for the nitrate, disulfide, and charcoal, and the formula is everywhere on the Internet.
There is actually no technical content in making it.
Of course, there is a pitfall that you must not step on, which is what is said here. One nitrate represents one pound of nitrate, while disulfide and three charcoal represent two ounces of sulfur and three ounces of charcoal.
In ancient times, one pound was sixteen taels, so the ratio is 1623!
After taking the saltpeter powder to the fourth floor, the laboratory finally ushered in its first scientific and technological experiment.
In the past, Nalant only used this laboratory as a storage room for valuable materials and a perfume and configuration room.
It didn't take long for the servant to deliver what Nalant needed, finely divided charcoal powder and sulfur powder.
Narant configured it according to the formula, that is, 1623, and configured two copies.
But he hasn't stopped yet. He remembers that there seems to be a more accurate and proportioned saltpeter powder in the past and modern times, and the content has been slightly reduced.
Of course, he had not seen the specific ratio. He only heard that the ratio of saltpeter to powder should be appropriately reduced.
So he fine-tuned the content of saltpeter powder to 1523 and 14:2:3, respectively.
After completing one portion of each of these two proportions for comparison, he will be able to know which proportion is the best.
"You're done! There's nothing difficult to do next!"
The most difficult thing about making black powder lies in the proportions. Once the proportions are met, the next step will be very simple.
First, mix the three kinds of black powder in a good proportion. After mixing well, it must be soaked and then compacted.
Wait until the black powder is compacted before drying.
When completely dry, carefully mash and sieve.
Once the black powder particles are uniformly sized, the work is truly completed.
The reason why the particle size is required here is to make the gunpowder burn more quickly and violently when used.
Otherwise, the particles, one big and one small, will burn unevenly and cannot release the maximum energy instantly.
(If the above is purely nonsense, please do not try it!)
