With a serious expression, Shirault gave an order. Everyone's faces were also adjusted, and they bowed and saluted. The workshop is busy again.

The female workers are respectful and obedient. Using a mortar and pestle, they carefully grind the soil salt, sulfur, and charcoal into a fine powder separately, and then put the powder into the mortar in proportion. The dosage of each batch of powder is 15 taels, 2 taels, and 3 taels, totaling more than one kilogram.

Then, Shirot stretched out his hand, pulled Talia to his side, took a few steps back, and signaled the female workers to continue. At His Highness's request, they more carefully ground and mixed all the ingredients for a full quarter of an hour before looking up at the boy.

Shiroute thought for a moment. He vaguely remembered that there was a very crucial step behind, which could effectively improve the combustion efficiency of gunpowder. He thought about it for a long time, but was not inspired, so he nodded and asked the female workers to test again.

Soon, the clay pot was placed on the test bench again, and inside it was the old formula of gunpowder of one pound and five taels. There are several tied straw figurines placed at a distance of one meter to several meters. A samurai took the torch in the hand of the female worker, lit a palm-long fuse, and then quickly retreated at the request of His Highness.

Sherlot grabbed Talaia's arm and took a few steps back. The potter girl was slightly in pain, and was led out a few steps obediently, quietly leaning on the boy's shoulder. Then, she looked sideways, with doubts in her eyes.

"Your Highness?..."

Shulot looked serious and looked at the clay pot intently.

"Be careful, it will explode."

Talia also looked at the pot.

I saw that the fuse quickly burned out, and the gunpowder in the clay pot burst into flames. Then, bright flames rose up and rose rapidly, reaching a height of two meters, accompanied by billowing thick smoke, and a warm heat wave hit the face. This time, the burning of the gunpowder was obviously much faster, but after a dozen breaths, it burned out, and the flames went out... When I looked at the pot again, it was still intact.

Looking at the gorgeous fireworks, the potter girl opened her eyes wide and wrote down this unforgettable beauty. Immediately, she tilted her head again, looked at the boy, and smiled.

"Your Highness..."

Shiroute looked embarrassed. He thought about the burning speed, recalled the warm air wave, and nodded with certainty.

"Carefully cover the pottery cover, press the fuse and light it! Back away."

The test is performed again. This time, as the match was burnt out, there was a slight silence, and the flames burst into flames. Hearing a loud explosion, the pottery cover slammed into the air, and the pottery jar also burst. A bright yellow flame erupted on the earthen platform.

This loud bang, like a thunder that pierced the sky, fell into everyone's heart, and also fell at the feet of the rush of the times, forcing it to move towards another brand-new future!

The crowd instantly fell silent. After a while, the female workers knelt down, prayed to the source of the loud noise, and looked at His Highness in awe from time to time. The warriors' hearts were shaken, and when they looked at His Highness, they already had the eyes of reverence for the gods. Bertard's face was solemn as he observed the pottery shard embedded in the straw man. Talaia's face was shocked, she lost her mind for a moment, and once again leaned against the boy's shoulder.

Shilot also stared at the explosion of gunpowder, the first epoch-making sound in Central America! He slowly burst into a happy smile, and his heart was ups and downs, and countless emotions were surging in it. Feeling the softness on his shoulders, the boy stretched out his arms and took Taliyah into his arms, hugging him for the first time, and whispering to himself.

"I know...I'll change everything!"

The potter girl let out a low moan and leaned against the boy softly, her heart beating violently, her body was hot and weak, and her eyes were full of waves.

After a moment of excitement, Shulot let go of the girl in his arms and went directly to the test platform. He carefully examined the power of the explosion. The top pottery cover flew out nearly ten meters away, and the pottery pot burst open, but the lower base was still intact, and there were incompletely burned gunpowder powder inside.

A few small pieces of pottery were inlaid on the straw figurine one meter away, and the straw figurine was also shaken by the air waves. The same goes for the grass figurine at a distance of two meters. And three meters away, the grass figurine was almost unscathed. The young man looked at the ground again, and the farthest pottery pieces were only four or five meters away, while the finely fragmented pottery pieces were six or seven meters away.

Shilot was lost in thought. The power of the black gunpowder in front of him is about a few percent inferior to the common fireworks in later generations, and it is about the same as the power of gunpowder of the major countries in this era.

At this time, in Eurasia, the exact formula of black powder has been explored. The world's major powers are rapidly advancing the application of gunpowder, and arquebuses and bronze cannons have been widely used in wars. At the same time, a large number of gunpowder schools were built in European countries to improve the production of gunpowder. Gunpowder research in the Tower of London has been going on for nearly two hundred years.

And decades ago, Shinra's gunpowder artisans added a critical step to making gunpowder, making it more powerful and transportable over long distances.

"What exactly is this step?" The boy was troubled by this step again. Then he shook his head, considering possible improvements.

The power of gunpowder lies in the purity of the raw material. In the purification of saltpeter, Shulot has pointed out the purification technology of potassium nitrate, which is repeatedly dissolved, and the plant ash is precipitated and filtered. In the purification of sulfur, the teenager only remembers that it is related to the melting point. It seems that it is heated to vaporize and water-cooled to solidify. The specific steps are temporarily unimaginable. Finally, charcoal with a higher calorific value is used. Chinese craftsmen often used willow charcoal, but it is a pity that dry willow did not exist in Central America at this time, and fir and cypress can also be used.

Observing and thinking, Shirott sat down cross-legged again. With the preliminary black powder, what kind of weapons could he make.

Bertard made a gesture to the potter girl, and Talaia blushed and brought paper, pen and ink, and sat next to His Highness again.

Shulot has been thinking for a hundred years, recalling the early gunpowder weapons that appeared in the history of the Celestial Dynasty. All weapons that require metal must be discarded, and weapon crafting needs to be simple and consistent with the productivity level of the alliance. After a while, three names took shape in his mind.

The first to appear was the long-planned vertical rocket. According to the impression of the young man, this weapon should first appear in the Northern Song Dynasty, and then shined in the battle of Tang Island in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is a suitable weapon for water warfare and arson.

The gunpowder rocket is attached to the rear of the arrow with a spherically symmetrical gunpowder package, which does not affect the balance of the rocket flight. Gunpowder packs are made of slow-burning paper or cloth, pasted into a solid shell, and filled with gunpowder. The casing is then ignited with a cone of fire in battle, and then cast with a crossbow.

Considering the pulling force of the longbow, the weight of the powder pack should be in the range of tens of grams, and it can be increased when shooting at close range. The purpose of the vertical rocket is to burn, and it can appropriately reduce the soil nitrate with less reserves and increase the proportion of carbon and sulfur.

Shulot nodded slightly, gunpowder, paper, arrows, longbow, these all meet the productivity level of the alliance. Immediately, he took the pen and paper and drew a longbow, with a rocket with a gunpowder in the middle.

The second compatible weapon is the ceramic caltrop, similar to the most primitive grenade. This weapon appeared in the Song Dynasty and was unearthed in large numbers in the northern part of the Celestial Dynasty. This is a throwing weapon for melee combat.

Ceramic Tribulus has a pottery and porcelain shell, a round pot shape, and a large mouth and belly. The interior is filled with gunpowder, and the exterior is made of pottery thorns. After lighting the fuse, it is thrown for several to ten meters. The exploding tribulus thorns can kill enemies within a few steps, and the sound can deter horses. Considering its historical performance, this weapon should have a shocking effect on all Mexican ministries beyond its actual power.

According to the samurai's throwing ability and the explosive power of black powder, the boy redesigned it. The weight of this kind of pottery tribulus should be like a shot put, with a shell weighing two or three pounds, gunpowder weighing three or four pounds, and the throwing distance is between ten to twenty steps, and the explosive power is about five to seven steps.

If you defend the city or throw it with a trebuchet, you can make a large ceramic caltrop, or change the ceramic shell into a paper shell, which will become a paper fireball in the history of the Song Dynasty. By adjusting the ratio of different ingredients, the function of gunpowder weapons can also be changed from explosion to arson, smoke and poison.

After thinking for a while, Shirot thought that pottery firing was the specialty of the Alliance, and there were also a large number of skilled workers... He then drew the pattern of ceramic caltrops on paper. In Talaia's view, this is a large cactus thorn ball.

The third weapon of choice is the pine wood gun~www.readwn.com~ This weapon appeared in the Song Dynasty, but it was used by the militia until the Anti-Japanese War. The range of this wooden cannon is between tens of meters and hundreds of meters.

The shape of the pine cannon is to hollow out the trunk of the tree, and a round hole is dug in the middle. In fact, a thick iron pipe needs to be inserted to increase the power, and it can be used without it. Without iron, the outside of the wooden cannon was tightly bound with copper hoops, and then wrapped with thick copper wire. In order to reduce the technical difficulty, instead of drilling holes, use fuses to launch.

Xiuluo calculated slightly that each time the wooden cannon fired, it would take several to ten kilograms of gunpowder, and the ammunition would be twenty or thirty kilograms of gravel. Before firing, you need to insert the fuse, seal the muzzle with cotton, and increase the airtightness. The operation is very slow, but the power is almost invincible in this era.

On the paper, he also drew the model of the pine cannon, and at the same time marked the upgraded bronze cannon on the back.

Next, the teenager pondered slightly, the single soldier's tubular weapon is still too difficult for the technical level of the alliance. In the Song and Yuan dynasties, the shooting distance of the burst gun and the copper fire gun was limited, the positioning was quite embarrassing, and the manufacturing difficulty was not low. The arquebus of this era is an advanced weapon that the Alliance cannot manufacture.

Now, the individual soldier's long-range weapons still occupy an absolute advantage. Above this distance, the warriors can always rely on the swift throwing spear, the powerful longbow and the powerful Chinese crossbow!

After drawing the figure, Shiloh suddenly stood up. He looked at the eagle in the sky, watching it spread its wings and fly high, soaring at a height that mortals can't reach. The ambition of the young man rose with the eagle, covering the four seas and annexing the eight wastes.

Gunpowder rockets, ceramic caltrops, and pine cannons, these are the three types of firearms in the future of the Alliance, which will accompany the Mexican legion and sweep the entire world!
