Chapter 83 The Genius of Gunpowder
Author: Sibai Mama
After dinner, Li Qi sat in the study and found two books from the bookshelf.
One of them is written in Lureya, and the other is square characters.
Lureya's text is about the current development plan, while the square characters are used to record what he suddenly recalls, such as the production of ice cream, the construction of arch bridges, bicycles, gears, and steam engines that he didn't know how to make in his previous life.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, as long as you have a concept and throw it to your subordinates.
"Porcupine Collar Development Phase II, Is invalidated" he painted on paper.
Direct third period!
Because of the appearance of lime, Li Qi decided that the next step would be to try burning bricks and build a brick house in one step.
If quicklime mine is still a bit difficult to find, then brick-burned clay is everywhere.
"The commercial area can be planned directly, just to the east of the castle." Li Qi thought with a pen: "After the wharf is built, the wharf will be traded to the outside world, and then one-stop."
“When it comes to one-stop, bathing in a street is very important”
Although Li Qi is not very envious of the name of the "holy land" of Tieshi City, it should not be considered as the lord's private life being a bit unpredictable, right?
He shook his head and threw this idea behind his head for the time being.
"There are still teams, we must re-divided them."
The group of soldiers who were in the Quick Blade have been assigned to start selection and training, and it is estimated that they will not be able to train anything in a short period of time.
"And the blacksmith."
Black ears are good at creating agricultural tools, but using the means of creating hoes to create swords is a bit too much.
Not only blacksmiths, but also insufficient carpenters still exist.
The dwarf carpenter's craftsmanship is nothing, and he can keep up with Li Qi's thinking and try to replicate his ideas, but the carpenter's role is not only to help the lord study fresh tools.
Each household moved into a new house. If you want a new bed and a new table, the carpenter had to do it.
The carpenter needs help from building a house.
It is not enough for a carpenter to come another ten.
Other craftsmen have more or less similar situations, either the technology does not meet the standards or the number of people is insufficient. When the money is enough, technology and population are still the reasons for the restriction on the development of porcupine collars.
"If it really doesn't work, encourage having children! It's not that you can't afford it!"
Li Qi gritted his teeth: "Give me a child, give me a hard life!"
He lowered his head and wrote for a while, and Li Qi stopped writing.
He wrote down everything he could think of at this stage. If he wanted to complete these goals, the porcupine collar had to be like a gear and began to turn wildly.
I don’t know if it can be done this year, but if it really does, the Porcupine Collar will definitely show some traces of "civilization".
Before going to bed at night, Li Qi still used the "Hawkeye" to patrol the porcupine collar. Now it's not just a raven, he also found someone to raise some other birds. These birds not only go to the porcupine collar, but some of them also stroll around the sea, which opened up useful horizons for Li Qi. However, some birds lost contact at the sea because they flew too far, or entered the belly of a more advanced predator.
Headland Crypt,
The exploration progress is still on hold indefinitely.
Betty opened her eyes. Maybe a new day has arrived, or maybe it is still midnight now.
She didn't know how long she had been trapped here.
Maybe I have become accustomed to the darkness, used to this space, and my brain habitually relaxed.
The entire underground world was cleared in this long dark night. The winged banshee was not seen in the sky, there were no blue-skinned monsters on the ground, and there were no lizard people shaking their tails and twitching their claws in the mud pit.
Push the door open.
The person who came was a handsome man with corpse spots on his face.
The other party was wearing armor and a long sword around his waist.
Betty called the other party "Knight". Although she knew that this corpse was no different from the corpse of the blue-skinned monster, and the person she controlled behind it was the same, it did not prevent her from distinguishing between the two.
She repeatedly guessed what the person who controlled everything behind the scenes should look ugly, and she enjoyed manipulating the corpse.
But it's also very gentle.
It will bring food, water, and even allow yourself to take a bath.
Ugly and gentle, it makes people unable to help but become obsessed with it.
"King Lord" stopped and placed three large packages in front of Betty.
"Give it to me?" Betty pointed at himself.
The other party nodded.
Betty opened the package and it was all the materials she needed to make.
There are also two letters attached, and the words are very beautiful.
It should have been written by the latter who controlled the corpse, and Betty had another image about the other person in his mind.
Ugly, gentle, and beautifully written.
"Magic gunpowder, what a strange name." Betty quickly finished reading the first piece of paper.
This is her true contact with the person behind the scenes. The communication of information made her so excited that her legs couldn't help but clamp.
The second piece of paper.
Her breathing began to be rapid.
The other party did not promise her freedom, but just told her that it was time to work next.
Freedom, why should freedom be? She began to like this kind of life, but she just couldn't see the starry sky, but if she could continue to study by scholars, the starry sky was not irreplaceable.
The other party proposed an idea that Betty seemed very crazy but made her unable to help but agree with it.
Betty knew that making a flame that could explode was actually an accident and a product of failure, but the person behind the scenes gave a completely different idea.
He believes this is a very successful study.
It also proposed the evolution direction about the product it named "magic gunpowder".
One is to act as a propellant. If magic gunpowder is placed in an iron tube that is strong enough, then an iron ball is placed, and then the magic gunpowder is ignited, and the iron ball is shot out through the power of the explosion, its power may be able to penetrate the iron plate.
If applied on a large scale, as long as you have been trained, ordinary farmers can quickly master the skills of using this weapon.
The cavalry that claims to be invincible on the road will become a target of suicide!
Another way is to increase the power of the explosion. In the imagined, this magical gunpowder can be stuffed into a sealed and strong enough iron can, and thrown out to detonate. The power can be imagined. No matter how strong the castle is, it will open its doors because of it, and ordinary people can use this thing named "cannonballs".
The other party even suggested that an oversized iron pipe could be made and magic gunpowder could be used as propellant to directly shoot out the iron can filled with magic gunpowder. It could be longer than the siege thief and more accurate.
Think about the war, erecting such terrifying weapons and then shattering the seemingly solid city walls in the place.
"Explosion!" Betty seemed to open the door to a new world.
She studied with the teacher for a long time, but she had some talent for the explosion.
If it is really feasible... no, it was precisely because she discovered "magic gunpowder" that she was sure that these ideas were definitely feasible.
The other party is really a genius!
An ugly, gentle, beautiful genius who writes well and shares common ideals with himself.
"I will make it." She looked at the knight who was about to rot in front of her, with a smile that had never appeared since she entered the crypt, and there was an uncontrollable excitement in her eyes.
“For our common ideal!”
