Warhammer Wizard
Chapter 9: Alchemy Chamber
Through the corridor at the edge of the hall, the two came to the courtyard behind the hotel.
The courtyard is only one floor, most of which are guest rooms, and the rest are used as kitchens and warehouses. Ren didn't look around, and followed Zoltan into a courtyard. Judging from the decoration of the house, this should be Zoltan's own residence. It was cleaned up, but no other dwarves were seen.
Zoltan opened a room with a key. There were many things stacked in it, which looked like a utility room.
Ren watched Zoltan push away the cabinet against the wall, revealing a downward staircase behind him.
"Come down."
The dwarf didn't explain much, and took the lead down the stairs.
Ren hesitated for a moment, but followed in.
The stairs were not long, and soon came to the end, and an empty basement appeared in front of them.
When a few gas lights were on, Renn was quite surprised when he saw it clearly. It was much larger than he expected, covering an area of nearly 100 square meters and a height of three meters. There is no feeling of narrowness and suffocation at all. It can no longer be called a basement. .
However, Ren's attention was drawn to the surrounding machinery.
A machine like a machine tool is placed in the middle of the basement. It looks bulky and old, but it is well maintained. Various coupling gears and flywheels are polished and shiny without any trace of rust. The machine tool is connected to a tall boiler, apparently using steam power.
"Steam lathe!"
Ren recognized it at a glance, but felt that it was not right.
This machine is very complicated. It is not just a single lathe. It seems to have cutting, forging, planing, milling, milling and extrusion functions, like a pieced together universal machine tool. In addition to the steam lathe, there are many other tools around, such as forging furnaces, grinding wheels, etc., and various metal materials and parts are stacked in the corners.
Zoltan saw Ren's expression and said proudly, "This is my private workshop."
Rehn asked curiously: "Boss, are you a mechanical craftsman?" He also guessed that Zoltan was an alchemist, so he would sell alchemy materials.
"It's barely counted."
Zoltan shrugged, "I used to be a blacksmith in the clan, but my craftsmanship was very poor. Later, I studied machining in the Empire, but I have no interest in making swords and weapons. I am now a gunsmith."
said, he showed the pistol around his waist and patted twice.
Renn has never heard of gunsmiths, but he can guess that he is a craftsman who specializes in making soul guns. No wonder he saw many barrels, springs and other parts in that pile of metal materials.
"When I really doze off, someone brings a pillow."
Rehn was very pleasantly surprised. His plan was to first confirm whether it could be made into gunpowder, and if possible, to find a way to make a gun.
There are many artisan workshops affiliated to the "Steam and Machinery Union" in Longshande City, selling all kinds of weapons, and you can also order metal parts, as long as you can afford it.
His previous idea was to order gun parts in batches in different craftsmanship workshops, and then assemble them by himself, but the overall cost is definitely high, so a sum of money must be obtained first.
Now that he saw Zoltan’s workshop, Renn immediately had a new idea.
If you can borrow this workshop, do it yourself, and use the mechanical structure diagram in your mobile phone to help you save a lot of money and quickly build a gun.
Zoltan walked to a wall, raised his hand and pressed it.
Several silver lines appeared on the wall, forming a door, and then opened inward. When this door was opened, it made a dull sound when it rubbed against the ground. Obviously, it was very heavy. It seemed to be made of a whole stone, and most people couldn't open it.
"This is a magic door!"
Ren was taken aback. It was the first time he saw Might and Magic, but he was even more surprised that Zoltan seemed to trust him very much and was not afraid of leaking it out.
This also made him vigilant, will Zoltan have another plan?
Zoltan seemed to have guessed Ren's thoughts, and said nonchalantly: "This magic gate was not made by me, including this basement, which existed before I bought the hotel. There is actually nothing particularly valuable in it. This is where I store alchemical materials. Many people who trade with me have come in."
"Don't rush, do you still want to buy alchemy materials?" Seeing Renn still hesitating, the dwarf became a little impatient.
Ren didn't think much, so he walked in.
The secret room behind the Might and Magic Gate is not big, only more than 20 square meters. The walls are all flat stones. The whole room seems to be hollowed out from a huge rock, and it is airtight. The only light source in the secret room was the gas lamp held by Zoltan's hand. The lighting was unstable because of his shaking hands.
Rehn secretly turned on the camera to increase the brightness in his field of view.
Several rows of wooden shelves are arranged indoors, divided into hundreds of small grids, and various materials are placed inside.
Zoltan raised a gas lamp to illuminate the wooden frame, and said, "My alchemy materials are here. Recently I have used more and sold a lot. I haven't had time to add them. You can tell me what to buy. ."
"Good." Ren nodded.
There are hundreds of materials here, and the types are complex. They are mainly based on various types of minerals and powders, as well as some processed plant branches and leaves, and some strangely shaped materials that may come from living creatures.
Lane was a little bit awkward, he didn't recognize most of these materials.
He remembered the formula of black powder, but he didn't know how to say the three raw materials in Orion, and he couldn't tell if there was any.
But there are also some things that are very easy to recognize, such as alcohol and graphite, these may be useful, Ren took it down and put it on the table. He continued to search, his gaze fell on a glass jar, which contained a kind of black particles, dark and very familiar.
"This is black powder?"
Ryan stepped forward and opened the lid, and he was overjoyed when he smelled a smell of gunpowder. He was still thinking about preparing it himself, but he didn't expect that there was a finished product.
"Boss, what is in this jar?" He pretended not to know black powder, and asked casually.
Zoltan walked over and took a look, and replied: "This is fire sand. We dwarves used to make musket bullets a long time ago, but the power is too low and it is not easy to store. A lot of smoke will be emitted when shooting. It was replaced by phlogiston a long time ago, and now it has very little use."
Rehn was very convinced that this is the black powder.
It turned out that the dwarves had discovered black powder a long time ago, but it was not used on a large scale and was eliminated by phlogiston.
Renn had heard of phlogiston before, the main material used to make soul gun bullets, which can ignite an explosion like gunpowder, but it needs soul power to inspire. He immediately understood that it was precisely because of the existence of phlogiston that the world of Ellen's did not continue to study the more powerful gunpowder.
In fact, the power of black powder is not small, but the dwarf did not research the most accurate formula, so it quickly gave up.
But this pot of fire sand probably won't be used, it's not powerful enough.
Rehn considered it and decided not to hide it from Zoltan, and said, "Boss, I want to buy some fire sand for research, and I want a copy of its preparation method and enough raw materials. I wonder if you have it?"
"Let me look for it."
Zoltan didn’t ask Renn what he wanted the fire sand for. He walked back and forth in front of the wooden frame a few times and quickly took three or four materials down and introduced: “The fire sand is made of volcanic loess, charcoal powder and bitter ice. Yes, I will write you the preparation method later."
Raine recognized that volcanic loess is sulfur, and bitter ice is saltpeter, and he also remembered the names of these materials.
After , he didn't buy anything else, so Zoltan calculated the price.
Because these materials are relatively common, not precious, and the quantity is not large, Renn only paid 100 copper liso and bought it.
Before leaving the secret room, Renn's gaze swept across the ground unintentionally, and found that there were strange nicks under some wooden frames, forming a complicated pattern, but it was filled with dust and not obvious. If he hadn't increased the brightness of his vision, it would be difficult to see the existence of these nicks.
But he didn't care too much, and followed Zoltan out of the secret room.
Closing the magic door, Zoltan glanced at Renn who was holding alchemy materials, and said: "If you are doing alchemy research, my alchemy table can be loaned to you for a few days, lest you use fire sand upstairs. My hotel is burned."
When spoke, he pointed to a table in the corner of the basement. There were many glassware on top of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com.
Lane is naturally willing.
Not only does he want to borrow the alchemy table, he also wants to borrow the entire workshop and use that steam machine.
"Thank you, boss." Renn smiled embarrassedly, "I want to borrow this lathe, can I?"
Zoltan's eyes widened as soon as he heard it, and his beard curled up.
Rain quickly added: "I can pay."
Zoltan's expression eased, after thinking about it for a while, he said with some dismay: "It's okay to pay." He stretched out five thick fingers, and said fiercely: "50 copper rissoles a day, consumed coal. It's not included with the materials. If the tool is damaged, you have to pay the price."
Rehn calculates the remaining money, it can last for more than ten days, and his operating ability should be enough to make a gun.
If you fail, you have to find another way out.
In order to get revenge, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
Zoltan walked around in the workshop, checked the existing materials, and left.
Ryan didn't want to waste time, he immediately went to the alchemy table, familiarized himself with the set of glassware, and began to make black powder.
He used to read a book on weapons and ammunition in the library. The book not only included the development of gunpowder history, but also the production methods of various ammunition.
The simplest thing here is black powder. He was very impressed, so he clearly remembered the best ratio formula.
In fact, black powder is not the first choice. Rehn still remembers a method of making smokeless powder with a solvent method, which is more powerful and not difficult, but there are no raw materials here, so you can only take second place.
After several attempts, Rehn successfully prepared the fire sand in only half a day!
