Edward has already laid out several such magic pedestals in the battleship to use them to make artillery launchers - after all, the existing artillery launchers are relatively simple to make, just use sulfur, saltpeter, charcoal and copper powder directly to create things.
By making the technique into powder, it can be easily mixed when needed, and directly filled into the gunboat, making it ready to be used. The lasting time of creation for an hour is more than enough, and no auxiliary system is needed.
But now this kind of product doesn't seem to work.
As we all know, the properties of this mixed liquid explosive are too unstable. They are fryed after being shaken, fried when heated, or even over-cooled... Unless they are mixed with fine fibers such as cotton or fine wood chips,
If you don’t think of using it casually, this mixing will undoubtedly take time, so it is not possible to make it on the fly.
Of course, Edward can also use the essence of time to wrap it up and apply it like dealing with the fireball beads in tank shells, but this is only theoretically feasible - Edward's floating battleship is more than two miles long, just
The main gun mount is ready to be built for more than 20 years, and there are nearly 100 ordinary gun doors. If the full bomb is launched, it will take several rounds of ammunition to be consumed in a batch of fire. Edward alone makes it.
The essence of time is, it will take hundreds of years to be enough.
A hourglass time passed quietly, Edward looked at the two bottles in front of him. With the hissing sound, the liquid in one bottle suddenly disappeared, leaving only a piece of fine saltpeter powder, and the dilute sulfuric acid in the other bottle and
The fatty acids have also disappeared without a trace, leaving some shrinking residues. However, the orange-yellow glycerol has remained without any change.
So, before solving this problem, it seems that this set of theories can only be used to produce glycerol.
Maybe it is because the acid acid of sulfuric acid produces the chemical reaction of fat, and fatty acids are compounds of sulfuric acid, but glycerol is not the reason?
Edward frowned - it seems that if you want to solve the problem, the only way is to use other methods to produce sulfuric acid... Oh, by the way. You have to continue exploring the saltpeter veins, otherwise you will not be able to make it.
Large-scale finished product.
"Hey, I said Edward, how long are you going to keep us out of the gate?"
A voice transmission interrupted the mind warrior's thinking, so he waved his hand and let the dwarf wizard walk into the space in one step. "What? Do you finally know the knowledge of supplementing potions?" The simple instrument in front of Edward.
Qihe Yanwu and his frowning thoughtful expression made the great wizard stunned, and then sneered: "But it seems a little late now, right?"
It’s not that it’s a little too late, but that it’s a little stupid. What’s the use of having a ready-made master here?
"Teacher?, that's great. I happened to encounter a difficult problem. Is there any way to make this kind of thing? Of course, it's not using creation. What raw materials do I mean to extract it?"
Edward pieced together the brightest smile on his face and asked tentatively - due to the intervention of magic, the chemistry and physics of this world are in a pathological state of development, so the mages' understanding of certain things.
And the habit of using the existence of the strange power and magic net to explain, all acids are the same for them, whether they are nitrate hydrochloric acid or acetic acid.
"Purified acid? How difficult is it?"
After glanced at the oily liquid in the bottle, the great alchemist immediately gave Edward full contempt, "A genuine mage who studies the change spells is almost easy to do such things.
, it's just that the purity is different... Who do you want to use this kind of thing to deal with? Let me tell you first. The demons don't care much about this thing. Their shells are very dry, and as long as there is a water-making technique,
This kind of thing can easily be washed away and will not cause too much damage."
"I just want some ingredients, but what I need is exactly the same as this one," Edward emphasized.
"Exactly the same? Okay..." Albert stumbled into the space bag for a few times, took out a yellow stone and threw it to Edward.
"Just use this marrow lead, oh, this thing is the fool's gold used by those idiots to adulterate gold. You put it in an airtight container and calcin it into powder, and put it in the fire element world, and put it into powder.
Take it away and dissolve it in water. Then distillate it, and you can easily get this acid solution. Then, I want me to teach you the remaining purification process?"
"Please help me make some, now." Edward asked stubbornly.
The old mage's experiment was so fast that it was dazzling... and the process was also difficult to figure out. Three hourglass scales, that is, fifteen minutes later, he had already placed a large bottle of transparent liquid slightly green in front of Edward, "This
It's a waste of time. If you can't give me the answer that satisfies me, hum!"
Shaking his huge head, the old dwarf found that it seemed difficult for him to find out what he could do to deal with this disciple now, so he could only snort coldly in a threatening tone.
But at this moment, Edward was not in the mood to pay attention to the old mage's thoughts. He was pouring acid into a large crystal bottle with all his concentration.
The heat generated by the mixing of nitric acid and sulfuric acid is the most time-consuming step in the process. Fortunately, with the help of magic, the cooling process becomes much easier... As for the process of slowly mixing glycerol, it is more controlled by the power of the mind.
The dropper speeds up, but this process still makes people feel a little anxious.
"Is this over?"
After the two hourglass scales, Albert frowned as he watched Edward slowly guide the orange-yellow liquid in the flask with his spiritual power and swearing for a long time.
In the eyes of this great wizard, the small bottle in the hands of the psychic warlock was simply ordinary. There was no slight emanation of elemental power, no magical fluctuations, and the slightly turbid appearance was no different from the pool of grease on the roadside."
What kind of potion is this?”
"Well, the simpler function is used to treat heart disease, but now it is basically explosive potion, although it is only a semi-finished product." Edward handed the bottle to the old dwarf: "Be careful, this thing..."
"What are you nervous about? This thing..."
Before he could finish his words, the bottle had already burst into an orange-red flame in the hands of the old dwarf!
It may be the reason for the magic rings in his hand, or it may be that he bumped into something after taking the bottle. In short, the first bottle of liquid explosives in this world had already revealed it less than thirty seconds after its birth.
A ferocious face. Or a god maliciously controlled all this, allowing a famous mage on the mainland to first try to cry for this potion?
Just as the fireball exploded, the silver light shield had rolled up from around, completely wrapping the old mage! There was only one channel that led the airflow to the vent, which finally saved the danger of the laboratory being smoky again.
.
As for the old mage who was under protection, Edward was not interested in taking care of it.
Even if a great wizard is unprepared, if he is killed by such an explosion, he may not be able to survive now.
Even if you were injured in this explosion, it would be okay. Give him a lesson to understand that the danger of nitrifying glycerin is necessary - for this new thing, it is impossible for this old guy to not use it for fun. Edward
I don’t want to overhaul the Floating City in two days.
"Ahhh, this thing is really good!" Stepping out of the dissipating smoke, the old guy coughed twice, but obviously couldn't suppress his high interest: "It's really good! The method of making is simple, but
It seems that the power of the fireball potion is no less powerful? No, it may be even greater? The most important thing is that this thing has no magic fluctuations at all. You can create this with a little bit of fool gold and saltpeter
The potion for the effect is so... so easy to use!"
Of course it is easy to use. Under the same quality, nitroglycerin has a explosive power of sixteen times that of black gunpowder, and is even higher than that of traditional yellow explosives...
The next thing is to solve this explosive problem.
In my memory, it seems that it is enough to combine this thing with nitrate into colloids, but the problem is that cotton in this plane has not been popularized on a large scale, and the explosives master seems to be using a kind of seaweed earth.
But which one is it?
"This thing is really good." After choking twice, Albert seemed to finally suppress his excitement and became serious: "It's not small in power, it's simple in making. There's no need to rely on magic at all, just find the Fool's King
The mines, plus saltpeter, can be produced in large quantities, right? Besides being used to make the shells you mentioned, the biggest function is to give ordinary people the ability to deal with monsters with spell casting ability?
In this way, there is no need for a mage, right?"
Just like the musket ended the era of the Knights, the application of nitroglycerin may also announce the disappearance of the mage.
At least it was disappearing on the battlefield.
Even if a mage has the best qualifications, if he wants to exert the power of mass destruction, he needs to learn and practice at least one to two years to master the fireball technique. To learn how to mass produce nitroglycerin, he only needs to get the formula.
Add a little smarter guy, and you can watch and study for a few days, up to a month. Nitrifying glycerol will not fail due to the vibration of the magic network, it does not require an annual salary, a laboratory, and will not interfere.
The family affairs of the nobles are stable and efficient, and can be put into the battlefield at any time and anywhere without any restrictions... and so on.
In the face of so many advantages, I believe any lord would be willing to use this thing to replace several flashy mages in the territory.
"But there is nothing wrong with disappearing from war, right?" Edward shrugged: "Masters, they should be far away from war, artists, scholars, or researchers of natural laws, they are the driving force that drives the times forward, and
Not a simple and crude weapon.”
The so-called change of times is by no means that easy.
Magic has a vast foundation, penetrates into all the history and culture of this world, and builds the foundation for the operation of this world. It will not be easily replaced by anything unless it is a complete technology that can match it one by one.
Some individual things may be eye-catching, but in the end, they are just integrated into this huge and complex system and construct a special root system.
"Artist, scholar... said well. But from now on, the world will probably not be peaceful." The old master narrowed his eyes and stared at the slightly distorted smile of the young man, and couldn't help but sigh: "Touch your hand to them
Unknown monsters...well, there is never a lack of such foolish shit in this world. Or the connection between magic and them is better...it is better."
"It won't be that fast... the mentor, it won't be so fast... the giant beast of the times will not turn so easily into such a rush of time and space. At least, it is impossible before the material is extremely abundant enough to support it rushing wildly, it is impossible.
…”
"I hope so."
The old dwarf shook his head slightly: "Then let's see if these fools golds bring us the ultimate stupidity or wisdom beyond this era."
The huge warship trembled slightly. The teleportation halo outlined the gap of the expanded space at the bow... The light flowed, and the transformation of the two spaces was quietly completed, so this giant had quietly passed through the continuous mountains and slowly descended.
Go to one of the gentle ramps.
"Let me borrow the energy of your core magic array." The great mage said to Edward through the passage in the center of the battleship, facing the huge magic array that constructed magic miracles and the slowly rotating core.
Edward frowned.
As the great master pressed a pulse point of the central energy supply array with two short hands, the magic brilliance flowed like a rainbow on the central core, creating an unprecedented torrent of rushing torrent.
Albert inhale deeply.
Edward could see it, and only his divine vision could notice it. Outside those several levels, the barren land under the warship was constantly squirming, cracking and spreading on the ground into magnificent textures, and then collapsed in the center.
The bottomless depth... As if in response to the rhythm of the great wizard's breathing, countless gravels formed a torrent, like a spring, gushing up from the ground and rushing into the open door under the giant ship!
This is the so-called miracle of spells?
Digging mineral veins is not unimaginable for Edward, but in his impression, it is nothing more than...or at least it is to dig a big pit to extract what is needed, whether it is to pick it up directly with spiritual power, or
Elemental creatures can draw from them, or they can trace them.
But such a violation of the rules has surpassed the so-called "magic of magic" and is closer to...
miracle?
"This kind of power is not surprising. As long as you master the trick of shaping spells, even you can create more powerful power. Oh, as a psychic, you may be beyond my talent."
Or he noticed the surprise of the psychic warlock, and the great wizard sighed softly. It was just the emotion in the voice that could not be explained by pride, or he sighed: "The core of the floating city is the masterpiece of ancient arcane masters,
The purest energy can be directly drawn from the magic net. Relying on the source of this energy, the arcanes created the civilization of the ancient magic kingdom and even made feats to challenge the gods."
Is it just a challenge to the gods?
The psychic pursed his lips and squinted eyes, the luster moved slightly.
As a mortal who once fought with gods, Edward may have more qualifications to measure. In his opinion, if this power in front of him did not suddenly explode, it would be absolutely difficult to compete with gods above the middle level. And ancient magic
In the kingdom, there are as many as hundreds of floating cities with such magical core!
But even the ancient magic kingdom with such power is still hidden in the dust of history by the gods, leaving only a few traces of remnants for future generations to marvel.
What kind of end will you get now, who may be enemies of the entire divine world?
...
Everything went on in an orderly manner.
Teleportation, digestion... The collection of saltpeter is no different from Fool's Gold. It is just a careless repetition, but after a mere quarter of the hourglass, inside the battleship, a space warehouse as big as a football field is already in
It is a raw stone full of saltpeter and fool's gold, and it is high-purity and can be smelted directly.
There is almost no need to search for the fat of creatures, because Pan Duorion's evil talisman connects the teleportation laws of all the worlds together - several giant baleen whales growing on the water element plane forcibly break through the constraints of the plane,
This creature weighing dozens of tons can turn almost half of its body weight into the purest oil.
Then, the time of the next hourglass belongs to manufacturing.
The huge metal crucibles above one person's height were shaped into shape by magic power, and then sent into the elemental plane of flames. Sulfuric acid was introduced into the huge liquid cylinder along the constantly constructed ceramic pipeline.
After the installation was completed, the first batch of corrosive liquids as strong as oil had been slowly injected into the smelting pond surrounded by ice.
Stirring and fusing, the terrible yellow-brown bursts were precipitated along the cold passage to the final site.
Combining nitroglycerin and fluffy wood, under the magical effect, the fibers of these corks have been decomposed to an extreme level, almost no less than any cotton material.
Demons are indeed very difficult creatures. They have powerful powers and diverse means. Unlike ordinary troops, they have no food restrictions at all.
Instead of waiting for them to emerge on the mainland, it is better to place their presence where we can control.
