A Sturdy Life Begins From Surviving on a Deserted Island

The two of them said, and quickly walked to the camphor tree not far away.

"Camphor is actually a variety of volatile oils in the camphor tree."

Liu Kun cut off a small branch at will.

Then he handed it to Mad Grass and let him smell the place where the branch was broken.

"That's what natural camphor smells like.

Isn't it very refreshing?"

"Hmm~"

The mad grass smelled deeply and felt that the smell was very strange.

Also very unique.

Really refreshing.

"Natural mothballs are all oils and have a refreshing taste, but they are not pungent and can float in water.

Synthetic chemical mothballs generally have a pungent odor and can sink to the bottom of the water.

Now it has been classified as a carcinogen, and it is better to use less.

However, natural camphor is not carcinogenic, and it also has the effect of a cardiotonic.

However, natural camphor is rare.

If we want to extract camphor, we need to cut a lot of branches to extract the oil inside.

It's a very troublesome thing.

Because it doesn't work much, I haven't gotten one of them~"

"That's right~"

Mad Cao nodded immediately after hearing the words.

"Then do we still have to extract some camphor?"

"Of course~"

Liu Kun smiled and nodded, "However, not too much~

Just a little bit.

Moreover, the greatest effect of camphor is not to make mothballs!"

"what is that!?"

Mad Cao was immediately curious.

"gunpowder!"

"gunpowder!?"

“Not bad~”

Liu Kun pointed at the camphor branches with a smile, "Adding camphor to gunpowder can increase the power of gunpowder, and at the same time it will turn the gunpowder into smokeless gunpowder.

Most of today's firearms use this kind of smokeless gunpowder~

Therefore, most of the natural camphor is used in such a place~

Instead of making those tasteless mothballs!"

"So it is!"

Mad grass became even more excited, "Boss, the purpose of making camphor is to make gunpowder as well?"

"Of course~

Otherwise what would you use it for?

Do you make plastic?"

Liu Kun smiled and said, "However, this camphor can be made into a very good resin.

Think back to when human beings hadn't discovered a very good resin.

Billiards are made of ivory.

Very luxurious.

This is also the reason why billiards appear to be very high-end in the first place.

but.

Later it was discovered that this camphor can be made into a resin.

Can replace ivory and make billiards!

It can be said that the camphor tree saved the lives of many elephants!"

"incredible!"

Mad grass looked at the branch curiously, "What about now?"

"Now? Most of them are used to make ping pong balls now~

Billiards have found a better alternative without camphor~”

Liu Kun smiled and shook his head, then tore off a camphor tree leaf and held it in his hand.

"Old Ma, look at this leaf~"

"Um?"

Mad Cao heard the words and looked over, but didn't see anything.

That is a very ordinary leaf.

"Boss, is this leaf any different?"

"very different!"

Liu Kun pointed to the root of the leaf, "Here, there are two glands, which are shelters for insects~"

"what?"_
