Blue sky and white sun, colorful clouds...
Above the Yaoyao sky, the blue mother star hangs quietly in the sky, mysterious and charming.
To the southeast of the Dinglong Mountains, a plume of green smoke rose from below the embankment.
On the embankment, Hua Huangji and a few more curious warriors put away their long bows and came to the other side of the passage above the embankment. They saw the green smoke next to the wooden house below, and the side and rear of the wooden house. A slightly thin figure.
Behind the wooden house, there was a huge figure. It seemed that it had been startled by the explosion just now. Now it raised its head and, together with the soldiers on the embankment, looked at the green stream rising in the air. cigarette.
"Brother Huang, what do you think is going on with the green smoke down there?" Next to Hua Huangji, a tall and burly soldier who looked to be in his early twenties said as he looked at the fluttering green smoke.
Hua Huangji held a long bow in one hand and carved lightly on the ground, as if he wanted to knock off the stains on it. He stepped on the embankment and the guardrail surrounding the passage. What he saw at this moment It's not the floating smoke, but the figure in front of the wooden house.
"It's accurate... the young patriarch has researched something again. He has been soaking in the wooden house below for the past two days. It seems that he has succeeded. The sound just now sounded really scary!" Huahuangji He answered.
Several soldiers around him began to talk among themselves.
Although there is still a battlefield behind him, and those strange sea beasts with eyes are still attacking, but for Hua Huangji and the soldiers who came with Ye Qiong this time, this kind of defensive battle of staying on top of the embankment and shooting down, At the beginning, it felt quite fresh and exciting.
But after a long time, it started to feel a little boring. Until now, those monster-eyed sea beasts couldn't climb more than half of the embankment.
Under the command of those humanoid Hainas, they frantically wanted to climb up from under the embankment, but without stacking Arhats, it would be difficult to break through under the attack of arrows from the warriors above. If you are stacking Arhats, once the symptoms start to rise, you will be greeted by pots of boiling water pouring down on you.
In fact, if you replace boiling water with gasoline, the effect will be better!
It buzzed all of a sudden, and the lethality was very terrifying...
It seems impossible to refine gasoline in a short period of time, but another flammable substance can now be produced.
That is……
Alcohol!
Among the tribes, wine, as an edible thing, is still relatively valuable. With the development of the tribe, if the problems of fruit trees and crops can be solved, then the mass production of alcohol can be realized.
By then, this energy, which is more portable than coal, will be useful in many aspects.
For example, in terms of hygiene, the disinfection of the soldiers' wounds, although painful, is definitely effective. As for the pain, the soldiers' strong physique and physical fitness can be tolerated if the amount is controlled.
There is also burning to obtain heat energy. In the winter wilderness, if you carry a bottle of alcohol with you, it will be very useful. You don’t have to worry about making a fire to heat food. If you encounter any difficult monsters, you can even use it in battle. Suddenly, a bottle of alcohol was poured on it and the fire was flicked. Even a king-level monster had to scream and extinguish the fire first.
For those rough-skinned monsters, it is difficult to be fatal when alcohol burns on the body, but the subsequent damage caused by the continuous output is very terrifying.
In the same way, in city defense, if alcohol can be mass-produced, it will definitely be able to play miraculous effects in defensive battles!
Like the current defensive battle of the dam foundation, if the scalding boiling water was replaced by alcohol, the scene would be...
Just thinking about it makes me feel sorry for the eyed monster sea beasts below. Their primitive attack is destined to be in vain.
Flame attack, in the era of thermal weapons, is a very terrifying life harvester.
They are all like ants under the flamethrower.
Beside the wooden house, Ye Qiong looked at the wisp of smoke rising into the sky and smiled.
At this moment, Ye Qiong should be the only one who understands in his heart what this wisp of green smoke means to his tribe and the Na Ning tribe.
The demon hidden in nature was once again released.
However, with this level of power, it is still completely controllable.
What Ye Qiong made this time was actually not complicated. To put it simply, he made a firecracker with his own hands. Since there was no paper to wrap it, he used dry animal skin this time to form a sealed cavity.
Therefore, the green smoke produced after the explosion was particularly rich, mixed with a faint smell of meat.
This explosion also attracted many soldiers who were resting in the dike base to come out. On the slope of the dike on the side of the Dinglong Mountains, many windows were opened for the soldiers to live and live their daily lives.
The first night Ye Qiong came here, he rested in the residential area within the dike. After waking up the next day, he just shot arrows on the dike for a while and found that it was difficult for those monster-eyed sea monsters to break through the dike defenses. , so he began to study the flames scraped from the small passage.
It's definitely not appropriate to tinker with this stuff in a residential area. Even though it's just a few small bottles, it won't be fun if it accidentally blows up some bearing point.
So for the sake of safety, Ye Qiong asked Hua Huangji and five soldiers to build a small wooden house under the embankment specifically for the study of gunpowder.
Getting the black powder out is actually very simple, just mix the flame salt and charcoal together.
As for charcoal, it must be fired, which is the kind of wood that burns red. It is buried directly with soil. After it cools down, it forms charcoal.
When Ye Qiong was a child in his last life, he had tinkered with this stuff, which can also be called charcoal. After grinding it into powder, it was mixed with flame and saltpeter to form the most primitive black gunpowder, that is, fireworks. main raw materials.
It's just that the black flame made from two raw materials is not very powerful. If you want to further expand its power, you need to find another substance, which is...
sulfur!
Mononitrate, disulfide, and charcoal!
Mix these three raw materials together in a certain proportion, and what you get is powerful black gunpowder.
One pound of flame saltpeter, two ounces of sulfur, three ounces of charcoal...
After being ignited, very terrifying energy can be released in a short period of time.
After the wisp of green smoke disappeared, Ye Qiong walked towards the location of the explosion.
Looking at the small gray-black pit on the snow, he nodded with satisfaction. The power was not bad.
As long as the gunpowder is obtained, the next defensive weapon can also be produced, which is the fire gun!
If you continue to upgrade, it will be a cannon!
