Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party that Traveled to Another World

After sending the servant Ron away, Paul happily checked the "goods" on the ground again.

"Haha, how can we live up to our identity as a time traveler without some big killer weapons."

That's right, these things on the ground are sulfur, charcoal and saltpeter, the raw materials for making black powder. Speaking of black powder, this is really a must-have for home travel and robbery.

What broke the solid armor of the Western feudal knights? It was gunpowder. What helped Pizarro conquer the huge Inca Empire? It was gunpowder.

"And this time, gunpowder will help me, Paul Graman, to "civilize" this alien world."

According to his original idea, he wanted to directly mass-produce matchlocks or flintlocks, so he asked Philip to gather a large group of blacksmiths, but because it was close to spring plowing, it was the time for farmers to make and repair farm tools, and the housekeeper strongly opposed it and it was left unfinished.

Before he could prove the "great significance" of his "epoch-making invention", he had to find one or two blacksmiths to experimentally make two guns for these alien natives to open their eyes. As for the collected gunpowder materials, he first made some "big firecrackers" to arm a group of grenadiers.

He immediately went to the next tent to see the servant who had just arrived.

"I think Ron has already told you that you are not allowed to reveal a word of what happened here, otherwise..." He gestured and wiped his neck.

Everyone agreed.

"Okay, I asked everyone to come here to make a secret weapon. It will be our magic weapon to defeat the enemy. If you work hard, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

He pointed to one of the familiar servants, "Kelly, these people will be under your charge from now on."

Then he took out the gunpowder raw materials he brought and said, "This is what you brought here, saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal. In the eyes of the world, these are ordinary things, but I accidentally discovered that by mixing them in a certain proportion, you can make a mixture that can burn violently."

He took the credit on himself without blushing.

Then he mixed the three raw materials that had been ground into powder in the proportion of one saltpeter, two sulfur and three charcoal, asked everyone to stay away, took out a long matchlock, lit it with a fire tube (a tool similar to a fire starter for preserving fire), and touched the mixture from a distance.

"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed.

The small pile of powder suddenly burst into dazzling flames, followed by a burst of thick smoke rising up. As the smoke spread, an indescribable smell filled the tent.

"See? The burning is very fierce, almost burned up in an instant."

Indeed, the previous mixture has now turned into a pile of slag.

"Does the lord want to use this to make weapons?" Some clever people have understood his intention.

"Yes, I call this mixed powder gunpowder, and it will become our weapon to fight pirates. But just burning is not enough, it will not pose any substantial threat to pirates, so I plan to put them in a sealed container, so that when burning, it can produce a strong explosion, thereby killing the enemy."

"This is just my general idea. This weapon is only in the conceptual stage. The specific best gunpowder formula, production process, and the shape and size of the container are still in need of everyone's brainstorming.

I hereby announce that in the future, in terms of weapon manufacturing, every good idea approved by me can get at least one silver coin reward. The greater the value, the greater the reward."

When everyone heard that there was money to be made, their eyes lit up and they patted their chests to promise that they would not disappoint the lord.

"But, as you have seen in the experiment just now, this kind of thing is very dangerous. If you operate it improperly, you will not only hurt yourself, but also endanger others, so you must be careful. I will write a safety regulation later, and each of you must memorize it word for word. I will conduct random checks from time to time in the future. Those who can't remember it will get out immediately. Humph... In order to prevent leaks, those who leave here may not be able to live a normal life."

The group of people were coaxed and frightened, and they swore to complete the lord's task.

Paul summoned a housekeeping soldier and asked him to lead these people to familiarize themselves with the camp environment. Only a few blacksmiths were left behind.

He said to one of the older people: "I remember your name is Herman, right? You are the blacksmith in the castle."

"Yes, sir, my family has served the Earl for generations, and the old Earl's armor was made by me."

"Well, good. You just saw the power of gunpowder, how do you feel?"

"The Earl is really a genius. If I hadn't seen its raw materials and production methods with my own eyes, I would have suspected that this was the legendary magic."

"Hmm..." He nodded proudly, and the admiration of the natives of the alien world made someone's vanity max.

"Haha, in fact, the weapon concept I mentioned just now is just a crude way to use gunpowder. There are other more sophisticated and better ways to use it."

No mistake, one sentence, one content, one 6, one book, one bar!

"Oh? Is this the reason why you left us here? Please let the lord know clearly."

Paul took out a piece of parchment and slowly unfolded it: "Look at this paper, it's like this, I need you to make a tubular weapon as shown on it..."

...

From then on, not far from the training camp has a area where ordinary soldiers ban were prohibited from entering, and the internal soldiers patrolled day and night. However, the strange explosion sounds from the inside still attracted some more curious people to explore the secrets in the past, and these people were invited to "drink tea" by the newly established "pension team" without exception.

But how can you just make some explosive stuff and the small fine iron tube satisfied. He urgently need a "bigger, thicker, longer" thing, so he wrote to the housekeeper and Brss, and urged to urge to urge They stepped up to find talents who are proficient in metal casting. They have better experience of casting clock and a lot of bronze.

In addition to the pension team, another team was selected shortly after. All members were big -shaped men with big waists and rounds.

Macarov is also among them. In addition to routine training every day, they also arrange special time for another training: throw a lot of stones that have been polished, and they must be cast in the pre -drawing circle on the ground. Essence

The name of the new team is: Buller.

Many people murmured in their hearts: It seems that the training overhead was too large some time ago, and the lord could not afford the bow and arrows, but if you use stones to smash the enemy, can you use the projection distance to be farther?

Although I ca n’t throw too much stones, it is far away. Throwing this large and round stone with her arms, I do n’t say anything about it.
