Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 108:
Explosives, the word makes Sui Xiong's imagination imaginative.
From the Nobel Prize to the World War, from Samsung mobile phones to terrorist attacks... all kinds of thoughts flooded my mind like a tide, lingering.
It turns out that this world also has explosives!
As far as Sui Xiong knows, there is no so-called explosive like that on earth in this world. If explosives are needed, people in this world will use magic with this effect, or detonate magic spar, magic crystal and other things with rich magical power to achieve similar effects.
There is no doubt that these two methods are very expensive. The most common explosion spell is fireball, one of the typical middle-level spells; the value of a magic spar or magic crystal is more expensive than a Intermediate mages come to cast fireball, and there is nothing worse than it.
So all the time, except for some special big money, few people will use explosives to kill the enemy to win. Until Crick Keane was born, when he was so sick that he could not even walk, he arranged for Master Damweid to refine a large number of explosives, and then buried them in the ground of a hall, and all the villains who were hiding evil Killed, not even a single escaped.
But after that, no one has made explosives. Master Damweid concentrated on researching agriculture until the Conferred God did not touch this again. Crick Keane himself died in the explosion and became the holy spirit of Masked Void.
...at least in the eyes of the "informer".
Actually, Crick and Sui Xiong are the same person. The so-called "Crick Explosives That Has Been Extinct" was created by Sui Xiong by referring to the formula in a certain online novel he read.
He doesn't remember the name of the online novel. What impressed him most was the detailed description of a large number of industrial technologies, all of them, and even drawings. In terms of explosives, it covers the steps of acid production, glycerol production, and nitrification in great detail. In theory, as long as they are not afraid of an explosion during actual operation, a middle school student can follow its introduction to create powerful explosives.
When Sui Xiong first read that novel, it was this paragraph that was most impressed. That's why he was able to use his impressions to invent this kind of dangerous goods that led to the Nobel Prize on the earth, and borrowed its power to make a big news.
It’s just that, even Sui Xiong doesn’t know that the dwarves are also studying explosives, and they seem to have eyebrows...
"Explosives? What's that?" Of course Hopps couldn't know about explosives. He couldn't help asking when Du Du said so mysteriously.
Du Du thought for a while, and said: "You can understand it as something similar to magic crystals, but they cannot output magic power stably and can only be used to explode."
Hopes nodded, indicating that he understood. Sid asked again: "So... how strong is the explosive effect that a large piece of bedrock can produce? Compared to a standard fireball technique, is it big or small?"
He was referring to a piece of bedrock half the size of a palm.
Du Du pondered, and said: "It's probably equivalent to four or five fireballs."
Sid's face suddenly turned pale, and he gently put the bedrock he was playing with on the ground, thinking about it, he held it up and put it on Dudu's bed.
"How did this thing detonate?" he asked.
"Knock it, or burn it with an open flame."
Hopes's face suddenly became pale as paper. In the past few days, he had no idea how many hammers he had struck in order to drive long nails on the rock wall...
Looking at their nervous look, Du Du couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, under normal circumstances, bedrock cannot explode."
Speaking, he picked up the piece of bedrock, placed it on an anvil next to it, picked up his usual hammer, slammed it up, and smashed the bedrock to pieces.
Seeing this scene, Sid and Hopps were frightened and almost fleeing. Fortunately, what Du Du said just now gave them some confidence, otherwise, they would definitely not have the courage to stand here and continue to speak.
"We dwarves discovered bedrock a long time ago, but it was discovered that it can explode, but it was a few years ago." Du Du smiled and said, "The key to this is our secret, please forgive me. I can’t tell you. Actually, knowing this is not good for you, is it?"
Sid and Hopps looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
They all regret asking for the news now, and they know that this incident is not trivial. It's really not something that these two fledgling rookies can handle!
They didn't dare to ask more, and went back to sleep. As for whether you can sleep or have nightmares, only God knows.
The next day, Hops went to pull out all the long nails he had nailed.
"It's all here, it's a pity to give up now!" Some prospecting team members are so sorry.
Hopes couldn't explain the reason, but just explained with a smile: "Anyway, there is no way to go up the last paragraph. Instead of leaving the spikes here to waste, it is better to pull them out."
"It's not a waste to stay here, maybe you will need it in the future."
"No...the holes are still there anyway, if you need it in the future~IndoMTL.com~reinstall the spikes, it won't be too troublesome." Hops said so, and led the team back to the camp. .
Actually, he has made up his mind and will never approach this cliff in the future.
There are a lot of dangerous goods on it! Although he didn't know under what circumstances it would explode, he felt guilty when he thought of a half-fist-sized piece that would explode as powerful as four or five fireballs.
It's better to stay as far away as possible from this ghost place!
At the top of the cliff, where it is invisible from the ground, Sui Xiong is holding a piece of bedrock that has just been dug, and looking carefully.
The secret in Dudu Hill's heart is as clear as written in black and white. The key secret discovered by the dwarves to turn bedrock into explosives is actually to grind it.
Grinding the bedrock into a finely crushed shape like flour can make it explosive, which is already very stable. The finer the grinding, the more explosive.
The current method used by dwarves is to sift them with gauze after grinding. After sieving with extremely fine gauze, the resulting bedrock powder can be used as a good explosive. But this method is time-consuming and laborious, and the production efficiency has not kept up. They are still thinking about how to improve the process.
As far as Dudu knows, several dwarf craftsmen masters are jointly researching a machine for crushing bedrock. At present, I have got a lot of inspiration and tried to make some prototypes, but the results are not satisfactory.
In order to prevent the bedrock from exploding during crushing and grinding, the machine must work in water. The bedrock must be soaked in water and ground to avoid explosion. But a machine that can work stably in water is too difficult to make.
"Perhaps...I can think of something else..." Looking at the small piece of bedrock, Sui Xiong muttered to himself, "Blasting is art. As an artist, I don't want to do anything! "
