let go of that priestess

"Listen to me, let me tell you, when we make thermal weapons, the first step is black powder, it's not something weird.

Are you thinking of some bloody deadly weapon, the Armstrong Cannon..."

"Well......"

Armstrong cannon?

Jiang Hongdou hugged his forehead and let out a headache, and said aggrievedly: "I don't know what I look like, I just listened to your description and imagination!"

"Wave, wave, wave." Ji Cheng waved his hand, trying to blow away the imaginary bubble that seemed to exist in her head.

Then he grabbed her by the shoulder, looked at each other seriously and said, "Okay, don't think about it, if you don't know, then the class will start now."

"Oh." Jiang Hongdou looked at him and obediently responded: "Okay."

"Is that right..."

Ji Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and found a wooden stick, first wrote the three big characters of black gunpowder on the open space, and circled them.

Then drew three arrows down, separated into three branches, lit each one, cleared his throat and said:

"We just said that the first step is to make black powder, and there are three raw materials for making black powder.

One is charcoal, the other is sulfur, and the other is potassium trinitrate.

Charcoal, we have it.

For sulfur, it is necessary to find natural sulfur sources.

Potassium nitrate, you need to find a creature called a bat.

After finding the bats, transport the feces from their habitat and soak them in water for a day, then filter them, add lye, boil until the solution becomes thick, and collect needle-shaped long crystals after cooling, which is potassium nitrate.

The lye is easy to say, and can be obtained from plant ash and slaked lime, both of which we have. "

"Ang, I understand." Jiang Hongdou looked at the rough schematic diagram, nodded, and concluded:

"In other words, we are only short of two things, natural sulfur, and bats."

"Well, it's up to you again."

Ji Cheng threw away the branch, looked at the girl and said, "It's still the same, let me describe the nature and appearance, think about it in your impression, or if there is any record in the clan.

First, sulfur, light yellow brittle crystal or powder, has a special pungent smell and is insoluble in water.

If you haven't seen these features, you can also think about whether there are records of volcanic eruptions.

Uh...the top of the mountain exploded with a bang, spewing out a lot of hot and bright substances, as well as smoke.

Maybe you can change it to Mountain Fury, so you can understand it better.

And then there's the bat, which looks... kind of like a mouse, but has wings and can fly.

It usually moves at night, and during the day, it is more common in caves, sleeping upside down, with black wings wrapping itself from side to side. "

While talking, Ji Cheng made gestures, described in as much detail as possible, and even made a standard vampire shape, letting Jiang Hongdou imagine standing on his head.

Jiang Hongdou blinked after hearing this: "Hey, I know everything."

"Ah!...you know everything again."

Ji Cheng was startled when he heard that.

I remember the same thing with the rock strike set.

It turns out that picking up a priestess who has the most knowledge of the local tribe is the beginning of the ssr......

This idea flashed through his mind for a moment, and then he asked excitedly, "Where are they all?"

"The bats you mentioned, we call them leather wings, are a symbol of ominousness, and they will get sick. There are a lot of them in some places in Kanchen Forest. I avoided them when we chose camps."

Jiang Hongdou paused and said again: "There is also the sulfur you mentioned, I haven't seen this one, but if you talk about Mountain Fury, there is one thing that should be connected.

Do you remember what I said, there was a dragon recorded by the three generations of priests of the Damu clan before me.

The complete record of that time is: the gods sent dragon servants to build a sacred seat in Liyan Mountain, and the whole family of the Damu clan offered sacrifices and congratulated the gods.

And the so-called sense of divine power is somewhat similar to the volcanic eruption you just mentioned.

But there is no smoke like you described, only that kind of hot and bright thing flowing on the mountain, and then the Big Woods dare not approach the forest below, that's it. "

"Uh..." Ji Cheng was taken aback by the various information the girl said.

He scratched his head and said: "Listen to what you said, don't dare to approach the Kanchen Forest below, this is the Kanchen Forest.

Then, the so-called Liyan Mountain, could it be the mountain range behind our camp where we went to dig potatoes last time? "

"Correct."

"Ah, so, the dragon?..."

"I don't know that."

Jiang Hongdou spread out his hands: "I'm not sure if the one we saw was a dragon in the records of the clan, but now that I think about it, the possibility is very high.

After all, dragons are rare.

And this can explain from the side that the family records of the three generations of sacrifices should be true, not fabricated. "

"Huh?" Ji Cheng was taken aback, "Fabrication?..."

"That's right." Jiang Hongdou curled her lips and said, "Sometimes the clan tries to forcibly analyze the will of the gods based on a certain phenomenon, and many other subsequent descriptions are exaggerated and fabricated for the clan to listen to.

Priests just do this, just sit there and think about it, and then convey the so-called divine meaning of the analysis in a serious way, I hate it..."

"..."

Ji Cheng and the girl looked at each other, patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, then frowned and analyzed the current situation.

To be honest, his mood is a little delicate and complicated now.

Jiang Hongdou said that the records of this incident in the clan should be true.

So it also means that the base camp where I am going to take root and develop is actually a volcano behind my butt?  …

Well, it is convenient to get sulfur near the volcano, but the question is, is the base camp really suitable for rooting here?

Near the volcano, earthquakes occur frequently, and there will be potential safety hazards in the future.

Even if you can't see the next eruption in your lifetime, just think about it if you build a civilization, and then one day the core is submerged by magma, and the place where you put the most effort, it will feel very bad...

However, when Ji Cheng thought of this, there were also many places where he was confused.

Like, is this really a volcano?

The girl said that there are hot and bright things flowing on the mountain, but other than that, it seems that other aspects do not match the appearance of a volcanic eruption...

Chapter 41 The Biological Characteristics of Dragons

"Not much smoke?"

"No, there is no record in the family, there is no such thing as you said... volcanic ash."

"That didn't make a loud noise?"

"No."

"Not even shaking?"

"No."

"This..." Ji Cheng's face was weird, he thought about it before, and then asked three times, but...

"This is not a volcanic eruption at all!

However, if it is not a volcanic eruption, how can there be magma outside?

What you described is clearly the characteristics of magma, which is too strange..."

"That, Ji Cheng." Jiang Hongdou blinked and looked at him with a tangled face, talking to himself, and couldn't help calling out to him:

"Could it be that this is a fabricated phenomenon in the clan? After all, I haven't seen it with my own eyes."

"Probably......"

Ji Cheng breathed a sigh of relief again, and smiled wryly again.

I'm relieved because it's great that my base camp isn't located near a volcano...

With a wry smile, the acquisition of sulfur may be a bit... no, it is very difficult!

If there is no volcanic eruption in the family records that Jiang Hongdou knows, then he can only find pyrite, which is the famous fool's gold, to extract sulfur.

The problem is, this thing can never be found on the surface!

It decomposes when exposed to air and water.

Underground, however, Fool's Gold is constantly being generated and is usually found in quartz block veins, sedimentary rock formations, and coal seams.

But with the strength of the two of them alone, it is absolutely impossible to come up with excellent drilling technology and dig out these things deep underground.

So, the first step of the plan is so stuck...

Seeing his distressed look, Jiang Hongdou also understood that without sulfur and one of the three raw materials, they probably couldn't make black powder.

She understood Ji Cheng's mood, and tried her best to help him.

The two remained silent for a while, Jiang Hongdou raised his head and proposed after thinking about it:

"How about we go to the field to see first?"

"Hmmm, on the ground?" Ji Cheng was still struggling in his mind, and he didn't understand what was said: "What on the ground?"

"It's the place recorded in the clan. We're just guessing that it's a fabrication, aren't we? Why don't we go and verify it ourselves."

Jiang Hongdou pointed to the left side of the mountain range they were facing and said, "Every time the Damu tribe migrates, they enter the forest from that side.

That is to say, when I wanted to record this phenomenon, I saw this scene on the mountain over there.

The gods sent dragon servants to build the throne, and the analyzed divine will, the original phenomenon is——

I saw Mount Liyan.

I saw the dragon appearing on Mount Liyan.

I also saw bright and hot things sliding down from the mountain, and finally formed into a god seat.

Let's look for the 'sacred seat', that is, is there any magma solidification you mentioned.

If not, it must be a fabrication.

If so, maybe it wasn't a fabrication?You'll be able to find the brimstone you're talking about? "

"Uh." Ji Cheng was stunned for a moment, shook his head and laughed, "You're still thinking about this, it's impossible.

How could there be magma out there without a volcanic eruption? It's not scientific... science, science?

Eh... wait! "

"what happened?"

"I, I really want to ignore one thing."

Just as Ji Cheng was speaking, a bizarre idea suddenly crossed his mind.

His expression became strange, and he looked at Jiang Hongdou and said, "Dragon, was the god ordered to build the seat? The seat is suspected to be magma solidification?

Also, we have indeed seen dragons, and they seem to breathe fire? "

"It should be." Jiang Hongdou blinked and said, "Didn't we see it last time?"

"That's right... that's sparks from the dragon's mouth. I was thinking, if it really opened its mouth to breathe fire, would it spray lava..."

The corner of Ji Cheng's mouth twitched and said:

"If so, that would explain it.

Why is there no volcano erupting, but there is 'magma' flowing outside, which is the dragon's breath? "

"Oh." Listening to his analysis, Jiang Hongdou was startled, nodded and said, "Then shall we go and look for it?"

"go!......"
