Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 239: The secret of gunpowder

Chapter 239 The secret of gunpowder

In the sandalwood box, there is a forty-centimeter one-handed rifle. The shape is extremely exquisite. Whether it is a wood guard or a barrel, it is carved with exquisite patterns, and the pattern is also coated with gold powder. However, the appearance of this musket is a bit weird. Let ’s not talk about that horn-shaped barrel. The back of the hammer is also very exaggerated. Its shape is a golden dragon with open wings and cracked mouth. It looks very heavy. .

This one-handed rifle occupies half the area of ​​the box. The lower part of the box is a row of small round shots. Below the small shots are corresponding black cylinders. There are 20 small shots and cylinders each. Lorist is excited. The small shot should be a bullet. Then the black cylinder below should be. This is probably the powder of Grindia.

"This is a short-barreled musket from the dwarf Kingdom of the Titanic Mountains. After reaching an agreement last year between Trade Union and dwarf Kingdoms, dwarf was invited to open a dwarf shop in Kai Rotary Street in Morentown as an office. I happened to be in the morning After that, I bought this short-barreled rifle, and it seems that Lord Count likes this gift very much.

President Chickd laughed and looked at President Peterson. President Peterson nodded. President Chickd said to a guard next to him, "You gave Lord Count a demonstration of a musket. How to use "

The guard took the box and took the box: "Lord Count, the musket is a traditional weapon of the dwarf . It has a long barrel and a short copper. The range of the short barrel rifle is thirty meters, and our bow and crossbow is remote. Compared to weapons, its range is very short, not to mention. But the only thing that is worthy of recognition is its great power. For example, at least one hundred crossbowmen can pose a threat to Great Sword Master, and a musket, The threat to Great Sword Master is even greater within 30 meters. Because Great Sword Master can block the arrows that were fired at him, it cannot catch the bullets that are fired at him. "

The guard first inserted the black cylinder into the barrel of the gun, then pushed it with a thin iron rod in the box, put it in a small shot, and tamped it with a thin iron rod. Finally, he said, "This The short barrel rifle is the latest rifle of the dwarf kingdom. It does not require a fire rope. It only needs to open the dragon and then trigger the trigger below. However, because of the difference between dwarf and our human body, we always feel that this trigger is good for us. For humans, it takes too much energy "

The guard pointed his gun at a wall twenty meters away, and fastened the trigger with a bang. Lorist was startled. He did not expect that the sound of this gun would be so loud. However, he immediately smelt the familiar smell of gunpowder in the air. This was indeed the smell of gunpowder, but he did not understand why his previous gunpowder experiment would fail.

"Lord Count, you look good." The guard pointed to a small recess in the wall, which was also embedded with a deformed lead bullet.

Lorist looked back and looked at the small pit on the wall, but he remembered very clearly that the place pointed by the guard just now was about one meter away from this small pit, and it was so good that it was so far away

Lorist is full of gunpowder. He can't wait to go back and study the secret of dwarf gunpowder. As for the short-barreled rifle made by dwarf , Lorist also took a closer look. This was still attracted by the exquisite golden pattern. As for the rest, it was full of spitting points.

The horn-shaped muzzle, if the muzzle is lower, you have to worry about the small shot falling out, bad reviews.

Huge carved wood with exquisite patterns, added weight in vain, bad reviews.

Is the bird's beak-shaped handle comfortable to hold?

There is no crosshair, aiming depends on feeling, bad reviews.

The exaggerated styling of the dragon, not to mention it, is bad.

There is also the trigger that can be pulled down hard, huh, this thing is buckled, the barrel of the gun is shaking, can it still be pointed, bad review.

Lorist is very confident. As long as he understands how this dwarf fires gunpowder, he will be able to make a better musket than dwarf . Even the original rifle is better than this beautiful dwarf I don't know how many times the short barrel rifle is better.

But at this time Lorist's daze fell in the eyes of everyone present, but it became the proof that the soil bun Lord Count from Northern Land had never seen the world. There was a bit of scorn in the eyes of the demonstration guard, and he put the rifle back and handed it to Lorist: "Lord Count, this is your rifle, please take it."

Lorist took the box and quickly thanked President Chicked.

President Chickd laughed: "Since Lord Count likes it, that's the best thing. This way we can express our sincere apology after offending Lord Count. By the way, take the liberty to ask, Lord Count is far from Northern Land. The chairman knows that this time he came to Morante City, I do n’t know if there is any effect of Chickadee Chamber of Commerce.

Lorist also laughed: "President Chickd, I studied in Morante City for almost ten years, and have known President Peterson for a long time, and received many of his favors. Later I went to Northern Land and inherited the title and family Territory. Unexpectedly, six or seven years passed, and this time I came to visit President Peterson specifically.

President Peterson also smiled and nodded. He was very satisfied with the Lorist answer.

"Oh, that's the case, I thought Lord Count was ready to open a maritime commercial road. To be honest, Lord Count, since you can build a boat that can pass through shallow reefs, are you interested in opening a sea? If Commercial Route Lord Count is willing, then maritime transportation can be entrusted to us Chickadee Chamber of Commerce. As the Chickadee Chamber of Commerce with the largest and largest maritime merchant fleet, we guarantee that we will not lose the efforts made by Lord Count. Staring at Lorist said.

The ecstasy flashed on Lorist's face, followed by hesitation, then helplessness, and finally regret. He seemed to think about it for a long time before answering: "President Chickd, I'm very interested in your proposal, but the problem is that our family Territory is located on the side of Northern Land, and has always had no special products and can't find any products that can be traded. If it's awful, even food is barely enough to feed and feed.

I'm happy to open up commercial roads on the sea, but I also know that if you let Chickadee Chamber of Commerce run for nothing, I'm sorry for your kind intentions. It took me six or seven years in my family Territory to receive five or six thousand gold fordes. This time, I also wanted to enjoy it at Morante City under the name of visiting Peterson Lord(s).

President Chiker didn't care about euphemistic rejection of Lorist. He smiled and said to President Peterson: "I can't think your little friend is so honest as Lord Count. He is not like those hypocritical Aristocrat(s), I was overjoyed when we heard that Chamber of Commerce wanted to establish a maritime commercial road, and said that its Territory was a mess, in fact there was nothing. This is very good.

Chairman Peterson also laughed: "I met Locke friends because of his real city. He is free of those Aristocrat(s) problems. For one thing, he doesn't like to deceive people. But his family Territory is really remote. A little bit, and I can't do anything to help. "

President Chikerd and President Peterson talked for a while, then got up and left, taking his third son and guard away from the man. What Lorist didn't notice was that the Kekdesan Young Lord gave him a vicious look before leaving, and then followed his father away.

Lorist was worried about gunpowder, and talked with President Peterson for a while, roughly agreed on the date of delivery of magical beast leather to Viscount Tibor collar, and asked Peterson Chamber of Commerce to purchase large ocean-going merchant ships before leaving.

Returning to Red Crow Inn, Lorist instructed Doles and Schwartz to each transfer some magical beast bacon and marinated whale meat to Boss and Sister Louise to see if these two meat products were unpopular among the citizens of Morante City. In addition, I sent a small altar snow salt to chef Mai Fatty, let him try it, and what is the difference between the rock salt that is habitually used on the Morante City side.

Then Lorist went into his own room and began to study the formula of the nineteen black cylinders of the dwarf torch. Do not leave the door for three days, causing Joske and Schwartz to quietly open the door from time to time to see what their Lord(s) is doing

The table is full of various glass test tubes and a whole set of small equipment for testing by Potion Master. Lorist is grateful for the method of separating Potion that was learned in Dawn Academy. Even the liquid Potion can separate the approximate composition, so the powdery cylindrical gunpowder can also easily understand the formula.

dwarf 's black cylinder gunpowder has a total of seven ingredients. Sulfur powder, saltpeter powder, and charcoal powder are three common gunpowder ingredients. The other four ingredients are rosin powder, pueraria starch, egg white, and one Kind of white unknown powder.

Lorist After the test, already learned that the effective ingredients in the powder of dwarf are the familiar sulfur powder, saltpeter powder and charcoal powder plus the white unknown powder, rosin powder, and pueraria starch. The function of egg white is to condense various powders into a cylindrical shape.

What makes Lorist anxious is that he really can't figure out what the white powder is. Without this white powder, gunpowder would have no effect. Lorist wanted to get some white powder to ask people, only to find that the nineteen cylindrical gunpowder had been studied by him.

Thinking for a while, Lorist called in Schwartz, and asked him to ask the maid in the tavern to bring himself bath water, and ordered a big meal. After having a bath, eating and drinking, he asked Schwartz to rent a car. carriage , take the box with the dwarf short barrel rifle and head to Kay Rotary Street.

Lorist heard from President Chickd that dwarf opened a shop in Kai Rotary Street. Renting carriage quickly sent Lorist and Schwartz to their destinations. After looking at carriage , a tall and weird building built with various megalithic barriers was in front of them.

Well, it's weird that a stone hill appears on the most lively commercial street of Morante City, but it's not surprising that it is a shop opened for dwarf . The dwarf in the Titanic Mountains was originally used to cave, not in caves. They don't have enough sense of security.

A dim staircase appears in front of the shop entrance that looks like a hole. The staircase turns downward. Lorist only found out that the space inside the stone hill piled up by dwarf is not large, and the real shop is It is dwarf that dug a lot of space underground. Although the light is not good, there are still many curious customers in the dwarf shop.

When I came to the counter of dwarf 's counter similar to a wine cabinet, a red-bearded dwarf looked at Lorist and put the box on the counter. He asked in a weird lingo: "Sir, what can I do for you? ""

Lorist is curious to look at the dwarf in front of her, which is not the same as the dwarf image seen in film and television in previous lives. The dwarf in front of him is just a humanoid, which can be seen from his almost square shape. There are many similar places, like digging, ironing, forging, drinking, and great power, but according to legend, every dwarf is a smart businessman. Businessmen say that they must be cautious and cautious when dealing with dwarf , otherwise they will not Be careful and be easily fooled. This is incompatible with the legendary and honest dwarf .

"Hello, I would like to ask, do you sell matching sets here?" Lorist opened the box, exposing the musket and the bare little shot.

"Yes, my kids use this musket as a toy, and they put it in the water basin, so you see, it was like this when I found it." Lorist pretended to be embarrassed.

The red-bearded dwarf in front of me has a mocking look in his eyes: "Sir, we have heard the same excuse almost a hundred times a month. In fact, we don't care if you break the secret of gunpowder. What you want We sell it here, but the price is gold fordes one by one "

Why is it so expensive? Lorist points to the same box inside the counter: "Sorry, am I right? You sold this short barrel rifle for thirty-five gold fordes, why is it so expensive alone?"

"Because this is unique to us dwarf , you humans can't figure it out. Without it, this musket really looks like you are talking about an expensive children's toy. So whether you like to buy it or not, we don't care about dwarf ." dwarf Red beard warped.

Lorist is very clear that he cannot get the white powder from dwarf 's mouth. Had to take twenty gold fordes to make up for twenty copies, dwarf also generously gave a small shot put up the bullet that was fired.

Out of dwarf 's store, Schwartz was wondering: "Lord(s), you have been studying this dwarf gunpowder for the past three days, and you have forgotten our original intention of coming to Morante City"

Lorist knew that his disciples were accusing himself of forgetting the business, and he smiled and touched Schwartz's head: "You don't understand, Schwartz, this dwarf gunpowder is a great discovery. Secret, we Norton Family can sit back and relax in an invincible position since then

"Isn't this gunpowder used by guns? I don't think the dwarf gun is so powerful." Schwartz muttered, his eyes suddenly flashed: "Lord(s), look, there is a gun in the shop over there, And it ’s bigger than the dwarf rifle "

Lorist looked up, and found that Schwartz was pointing in the direction of a weapon shop. Inside the shop was a huge musket, which looked like a gun in the previous life.

"Let's go and see." Lorist said.

"Welcome the presence of Lord(s)." The salesman at the store's entrance had sharp eyes and recognized the Aristocrat(s) identity of Lorist at a glance.

"Lord(s), our star weapon has always been known for its noble quality and elegant taste. Lord(s) can meet your requirements whether you want to find a weapon in hand or as a gift," the salesman began to introduce.

Lorist stopped and stood under the huge musket: "This musket is also sold"

The salesman suddenly saw the box that Schwartz held in his hands, and suddenly realized: "Lord(s), this musket is an artifact. The famous hero Lord(s) Chinrick seven hundred years ago used this musket to shoot down humans that were raging on humans. Chimera, a two-headed dragon in the dwelling area. However, this musket artifact already is now useless and worthless.

Lorist slap the mouth, lie to the ghost, it is a miracle to pass down the musket seven hundred years ago, not to mention the protection of the wood, the barrel is already rotten, it is obviously a fake imitation, hanging in the store Used to solicit customers.

But Schwartz is curious: "Why is this musket artifact worthless"

"Because there isn't," the salesman replied: "Hero Lord(s) shot down Chimera this two-headed dragon seven hundred years ago because he had a good friend of dwarf , not only helped him to build this musket, but also provided him with Three gunpowder fired, so this gun artillery can do its work. But later, without gunpowder fired, this gun artillery is useless, not even a burning stick. "

"These dwarf s are so abominable, why not continue to provide gunpowder. Are you afraid that we will also launch gunpowder?" Schwartz said resentfully.

The salesman laughed: "In fact, we already knew the formula of gunpowder, sulfur, charcoal powder, saltpeter, starch, rosin, fire crystal powder and egg white. dwarf 's stubborn head like granite for hundreds of years Same, the formula has not changed. Unfortunately, even if we know it, it is useless. The human world does not have saltpeter mines. This saltpeter is only found in the mountains a few hundred meters deep, and only those dwarf can be dug. There is no saltpeter mine. , We ca n’t make gunpowder at all "

Lorist is stunned. Without saltpeter ore, it is impossible to make gunpowder. But the black gunpowder that the batch of black gunpowder that failed the last time you made is not the one you collected from the corner. Lorist suddenly understood that the residents of Northern Land did have the habit of collecting nitrate from the corners, but they were mainly immersed in water and filtered to make leather. No one knew that the water could be dried to get gunpowder for gunpowder.

But Lorist is now interested in the hot crystal powder mentioned by the salesperson, he asked, "What is a fire crystal powder?"

The salesperson replied: "Lord(s), the fire crystal powder is the powder ground by the fire crystal. It is mainly used by the forge to increase the temperature of the flame during forging. Let me take a look. Two days ago, our shop just took the adventurer's I bought a small bag of fire crystals in my hand, and I looked for where to put them. "

The salesperson soon took out an old leather bag and poured out a few red crystals the size of a little finger.

"Lord(s), this is the fire crystal, usually found in the ashes of the crater. This is the treasure of the forge. Sprinkling the fire crystal powder into the furnace at the critical moment of forging can greatly increase the temperature of the flame and make the forging Succeeded. "

"Oh, thank you. I still saw Huo Jing for the first time." Lorist looked at the red crystal object in his hand.

The salesman laughed: "Lord(s), this stuff is also useful for blacksmiths. It has no other purpose. It's normal that you haven't seen it before."

"That dwarf has this in the gunpowder," Lorist asked.

"Yes, which was confirmed by Professor Bob of the Star School early. A shot powder contains about ten tenths of powder, but up to 50% of saltpeter powder. Let us not make the same gunpowder. Remember that last year Professor Bob published an article on gunpowder composition in the Morante daily newspaper, which caused a sensation in Morante City. "The salesman's memory is very good.

Lorist worked out a few gold fordess and gave the salesperson one: "This is the reward for your quality service. I'm very satisfied. But can I buy a few pieces of fire crystal"

"Of course, Lord(s), this bag of twenty-three fire crystals, Lord(s) is enough for two gold fordes." The salesman answered respectfully.

To be continued.
