Release that Witch

34. Chapter 34 Test Explosion

    As early as the beginning of the construction of the cement section, Roland set a plan for the subsequent trials of several projects, most of which were built around the Northern Slope Mining area, which can be effectively concentrated and guarded – this kind of earthen brick wall canopy The construction speed of the bungalow is extremely fast and does not affect the construction progress of the city wall.

    The saltpeters, which were purchased from Willow Town, were shipped to the nearby warehouse for storage. When they were needed, they were weighed by the helpers and sent to the bungalows in batches. The same is true for charcoal and sulphur. The handling and mixing of the three raw materials is done by different groups of people, thus minimizing the risk of leaks.

    Roland weighed twenty pounds from the prepared black gunpowder and slowly poured it over a piece of cut sheepskin.

    These gunpowders have been soaked, compacted, aired, chopped, sieved, etc. They have been uniformly granulated and have excellent combustion properties. In order to prevent accidental sparks from colliding, a metal vessel was not used throughout the production process, mostly ceramic or log products.

    After the gunpowder was finished, Roland layered the sheepskin layers, wrapped them into three layers, and tied them with a rope.

    “So then it will be alright?”Carter asked. This thing can also be called weapon in front of you? Although it is an improvement of snow powder, who can hold it by voice alone? Dealing with a farmer who has never been on the battlefield may work, and no trained warriors and mercenaries will look at it. ButThe Chief Knight has carefully considered it, and what he has done recently seems to be unreasonable, but most of the results are amazing. If Evil Beast IQ is similar to a beast, maybe this stuff will be unexpectedly effective? For example, a violent scream made them frightened and sneaked away, thus reducing the pressure on the defending team.

    Roland stuffed the wrapped gunpowder into Carter’s arms and took the bag for the finely ground gunpowder powder. “Almost, we went outside the city wall and Iron Axe should be ready.”

    About two miles west of the wall, an open space between the Hidden Forest and the Impassable Mountain Range is the test area he has drawn.

    Iron Axe and several other hunters have been waiting here for a long time, except for Iron Axe, everyone is a local and the best of Archery. When I heard that the prince had a task to hand them over, I couldn’t wait to follow Iron Axe.

    Now everyone knows that Border Town’s new feudal lord never pays for employment.

    According to Roland’s instructions, they set up long wooden poles around them, tied the ropes, and surrounded the warning ring in the middle of a half. Knight patrols were arranged in the direction of the wall to prevent accidental proximity.

    Roland checked around the warning circle and nodded. “Is prey brought?”

    “His Royal Highness, all here,” Iron Axe dragged a cage and walked forward. Carter noticed a few pheasants and rabbits.

    “Very good, put them on the distance of five steps, ten steps, fifteen steps, thirty steps from the center point, and tie one stake to each.”

    Carter shook his head and shook his head. He suggested, “His Royal Highness, the animals you choose may not be tested. They are timid and flicker with a little noise. Even if you can scare them, you may not be able to scare away Evil Beast. ”

    “Scare scare Evil Beast?”Roland glimpsed a little and then reacted. “I didn’t intend to scare them away, even though the momentum of this explosion was amazing.”

    He walked to the center of the circle with the Chief Knight, dropped the gunpowder bag, and made a small opening with the dagger, letting the gunpowder leak out. Then take out the leather bag with the gunpowder powder, sprinkle it from the break, and then change back.

    Today is a windless weather, very suitable for this original way of detonation.

    After nearly a hundred meters of exit, Roland took the leather bag away.

    “Okay, just ignite here,” he repeatedly estimated the distance, and after confirming it, he said to Carter, “Go and call the hunters.”

    At this moment, Roland was also a little excited. He had already done a small amount of flash test before, and he was not worried about the test results. What he cares is that this will be a great moment. From today, the hot weapon will be officially on the stage, and he will be a leader in history.

    After everyone concentrated, Roland lit the gunpowder powder.

    Carter squatted on the ground and looked at Mars, who was far away, and he was somewhat disappointed.

    Such a long distance, not in the bronze bucket, the sound of the sound of the snow powder can not be passed here is still a problem, the prince of the prince actually let everyone fall to the ground. However, since Fourth Prince took the lead in doing this, he is not good to say anything more.

    The ground in winter is full of chills, and you can feel the chill of the spread through the chain. When Carter moved his body and prepared to put his chest side up, a loud-shaking loud noise suddenly sounded –

    As the distance was too close, the explosion and the shock wave were almost reached at the same time. He felt his ears slammed and the world suddenly quieted down. The tremors of the earth are fleeting. He raised the head and saw a black cloud slowly rising, and then the gravel and mud fell like rain.

    Roland was much less affected than Chief Knight, and even if the firecrackers blocked his ears, he prepared for protection immediately after lighting the gunpowder powder. The explosion point is not like the movie, it will make a huge fireball. The fire was fleeting, and a large amount of mud was picked up by the waves and rushed to the air about ten meters. When the dust settled, Roland’s only feeling was that the sound was louder than the firecrackers.

    As for Iron Axe and several other hunters, I was already scared. Only Iron Axe knew that this trip was to test a new weapon, but I didn’t expect the weapon’s momentum to be so amazing.

    I am afraid that only the thunder of heavenly punishment can compare with it!

    Roland stood up and took everyone back to the explosion. The ground was a pit half a meter deep. The rabbit closest to the heartbreak had disappeared, leaving only a short pile of wood.

    He examined the other animals one by one, and the pheasants placed in the ten steps and fifteen steps were lying motionless on the ground, apparently dead, and although they could not see the obvious trauma, Roland knew that they had died from the shock of the explosion.

    The only survivor is the Grey Rabbit, which is thirty steps away (about 15 meters). It has a thin blood on the ear wall and no longer struggles when someone sees it, as if the sound has just taken it away. soul.

    Carter swallowed and his ears continued to return to normal. At this point he realized that His Royal Highness said “I didn’t intend to scare them away” is What does it mean. Is this really improved by snow powder? Alchemy’s surgeons, with this result, are afraid to be far above the astrologer.

    Iron Axe looked at Roland’s eyes completely differently. “His Royal Highness, if the Militia team can have such a weapon, Border Town will no longer be afraid of Evil Beast’s threat. I don’t know if it can be manufactured in large quantities? ”

    Roland said, “Probably not. When Months of Demon comes, it is estimated that only twenty or thirty will be made.”The main key lies in the saltpeter. In this era, the method of measuring nitrogen is still very primitive. The lime mixture is poured into the human and animal waste to collect the precipitated potassium nitrate crystal. There is almost no other use besides the need for Alchemic Workshop and the upper noble, so there are not many such refineries, and all used to make explosives will soon be exhausted.

    As a trump card, this weapon must be used with a musket or bow.
