I Went To Fake Academy

Chapter 61 Invention of Gunpowder

Entering the college library, Lin Xiao found a book on alchemy and started researching .

Looking at this refining gold book, Lin Xiao suddenly had an idea: Yes, I can make some weapons with my own wisdom, such as guns, detonators or grenades.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao had a brainstorm and thought that he should start with the invention of gunpowder, because guns without bullets are useless, bullets need gunpowder.

The composition of gunpowder, Lin Xiao has known since childhood, is one of the four great inventions in his hometown.

Gunpowder is a mixture of Potassium Nitrate, charcoal and sulfur. As for the ratio, Lin Xiao can’t remember.

Speaking of these three substances, Lin Xiao flipped through the cheat book again and found that two substances, charcoal and sulfur, can be purchased, but Potassium Nitrate is not available here.

Lin Xiao probably remembers the practice of Potassium Nitrate. He watched the great grandfather in his hometown do it when he was a child.

That is to mix the plant ash and nitrate, and the plant ash is the ashes obtained by burning straw. As for the nitrate, it is the within cave, the soil that has not been washed by rain.

After coming up with this idea, Lin Xiao immediately put down the cheat book in his hand and walked out of the library.

Through the relationship, I bought some charcoal powder and sulfur powder.

With these two things, the rest is to refine Potassium Nitrate crystals, which is a technical job that takes a little time.

To craft Potassium Nitrate, you must collect plant ash and nitrate.

Plant ash is easy to collect. At noon that day, Lin Xiao got a knife and went to the track and field of the college.

The track and field of the academy is very large, and it is the place where the students usually use the cultivation movement method. The grass in many places is either trampled to death or destroyed by magic, but the corners of the track and field are located , weeds are still relatively lush.

So, Lin Xiao took the knife and walked to the edge of the track and field to start harvesting weeds.

It is autumn now, and those weeds are more yellowish and easier to burn.

After collecting a certain amount of straw, Lin Xiao found a place to set fire to the weeds and collect the ashes.

The cultivation students on the track and field, after seeing the situation over there, thought Lin Xiao was a Fire Element magician.

The two bodyguards have no idea what the Vice-Gang Leader is doing.

After the ash was collected, Lin Xiao didn’t let the two bodyguards sit idle, and said to one of them, “I want to ask you a favor.”

“Vice -Gang Leader, whatever you tell me.”

Lin Xiao nods, “Go to the cave at the mountainside of the college and dig some nitrate.”

“Salt?”

p>

“Oh, it’s the soil in the cave, the grey one is the best.”

“Okay, but Vice-Gang Leader, what are you doing.”

Lin Xiao just said, “I am also a type of alchemy, so don’t ask more.”

The warrior dethroned, then turned and left.

It didn’t take long for him to get the nitrate and put it in a bag and it looked good.

With nitrate and plant ash, the next step is the process of chemical reaction and refining.

In order to complete this experiment, thanks to the relationship of Gang Lord Martha, he specially asked for a secret room as his laboratory, and Lin Xiao also spent some gold coins and got some utensils from the alchemy teacher. , such as cups, filters, and energy spar to burn.

The experiment officially begins.

The first step is to mix the plant ash and nitrate, add water and stir.

Second Step, filter out impurities to obtain a mixed solution.

Third Step, heat and evaporate, let the two react fully, and evaporate the excess water.

Fourth Step, cooled to room temperature, the white crystals precipitated are Potassium Nitrate crystals.

After several attempts, Lin Xiao finally saw the white crystals and was overjoyed!

All that’s left is to filter out those white crystals!

When Lin Xiao collected those white crystals, he was very excited, and immediately took out the sulfur powder and charcoal powder from his pocket, mixed them in different proportions, and made a total of ten groups of mixtures.

So, in this world, gunpowder was born!

Seeing these black powders, Lin Xiao was overjoyed: in the future, I will let those who killed me taste the ‘local products’ of my hometown.

Ten groups of mixtures were placed in ten sealed containers and data were recorded.

All that remains is to experiment with the explosive formidable power of these mixtures.

Lin Xiao thought about the explosion site and thought it was better to choose the grove in the academy, because it was more secluded.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao took ten groups of potions and went to the college grove, and the two bodyguards also followed.

Lin Xiao waved, and two bodyguards came over immediately.

“Vice-Gang Leader, what are your orders?”

Lin Xiao took ten sets of mixtures from his pocket and said, “You two, this is through the practice of cheating. I am afraid that the formidable power will be too large, so don’t let anyone get close to it.”

Both of them are nodded, “Okay, Vice-Gang Leader.”

After Lin Xiao explained his play, he entered the woods.

This place is relatively hidden. After checking it, I found that there is no one in this grove. It may be because of this point that everyone is in class.

Lin Xiao took out the No. 1 mixture, lit it, and threw it to the front.

With a squeak, a firework lights up and then goes out.

The first shot, dumb.

Lin Xiao took out the No. 2 mixture again, lit it, and threw it out.

Bang! A muffled sound, like a fart, with so little formidable power, I’m afraid even a fly can’t be blown to death.

Next was Mixture No. 3. What Lin Xiao didn’t expect was that Mixture No. 3 was like a cannon. big.

It was so disappointing, Lin Xiao was a little disheartened.

Then the 4th, 5th, and 6th shots were mixed, all of which were all unsatisfactory.

When it was the seventh round, Lin Xiao felt something was wrong and quickly hid behind a big tree.

bang! A huge explosion sounded, and the explosion was loud and deafening!

Lin Xiao’s face was pressed against the back of the big tree, and there was still some dirt on his face, but he was very excited.

I saw flowers blooming on the ground ahead, and the trees all around were also blown off in the middle.

The students walking near the grove looked at it, wondering what was going on inside.

“What’s the matter, did some students fight in the woods?”

“Such a formidable power, at least Level 7 magician.”

“Yeah, such a terrifying explosion of formidable power, what kind of magic is this?”

“I don’t know, I think it might be black magic. Those witches like to use this kind of magic the most.”

Some students discussed spiritedly.

“So this is the art of explosions! Not bad!” Lin Xiao felt that the explosive formidable power of this set of mixtures met his expectations.

Lin Xiao was about to go over to check on the explosion site when suddenly two figures fell from the sky. After a closer look, he realized that they were two boys from the academy.

The two boys saw Lin Xiao and ran away immediately, shouting, “Run away, this is black magic, he’s a wizard!”

At this time , only hear shua~ shua~ shua~! From the nearby tree tops, a group of people jumped down one after another, and these people were quickly disappeared.

My God, everyone is on the tree, what are they doing on the tree? Lin Xiao was shocked.
