Chapter 288 Improvement

"It's about twice as much as the gunpowder we used before, but the problem is that it's not very stable."

Gress said, while the test tube containing a half-tube of nitroglycerin in her hand poured slightly, and a light yellow oily liquid flowed out.

Martin quickly took two steps back and a psychic shield lit up on his body.

However, the metal on Gress's hand extended out and turned into a multi-layer metal ball, slowly pouring all the nitroglycerin in.

"Be careful!" Martin reminded that his danger of this thing comes from later generations' perceptions.

But without Martin's reminder, Gress's movements were very gentle.

When the half tube of nitroglycerin was poured into the metal ball, Gress used his ability to seal the metal ball the size of a pigeon egg.

More than ten seconds later, after Martin and Gress were more than ten meters away.

boom!

A loud bang rang out in this depression.

Swish swish swish swish!

Ding Ding Ding!

The cracked metal sheet flew quickly past the two of them, and a metal shield rose in front of Gress, blocking most of the metal sheets.

He, who is a weapon researcher himself, has long learned to prefabricate fragments under the inspiration of Martin.

The psychic shield on Martin's body was also activated, blocking some shrapnel.

Feeling the not-so-strong explosion shock wave, Martin felt a little disappointed.

"Why doesn't it seem very powerful?"

A large fan stretched out from Gress's arm, blowing away the raised dust and the smoke from the explosion.

Hearing Martin's doubts, Gress explained: "It's already very strong, and there's only a charge of less than ten grams just now!"

Then he pointed to the pothole ground and said, "Our current gunpowder is less than half its power at the same weight."

Martin realized that this thing also depends on the amount of medicine.

It is not easy to have such a performance in the charge of less than ten grams.

If the person standing here just now was an ordinary person with no protection, he would probably have become a sieve.

If the amount is enough, can it pose a threat to higher-order sequences? A problem arose in Martin.

But the answer is not clear.

The characteristics and abilities of sequences are different.

If you prepare time for the strong men of advanced sequences, it will be difficult for conventional explosives to harm them even if they are TNT.

For example, Bishop Aslan can walk directly through the past and avoid the influence of explosives.

For example, if Martin in Sequence 6 is given enough reaction time, no matter how large the amount of explosives is, the space transfer ability provided by the quill is so easy to use...

However, this thing is still a threat to most mid- and low-level extraordinary people.

"The only drawback is that this thing is not stable enough!" Gries was a little regretful.

Martin didn't know much about weapons and military in his previous life. He only knew that nitroglycerin was an explosive, but he didn't know the details of the explosives developed by Nobel. He only knew what should be further processed before it could be stored and utilized.

As for the specific details, Martin is not sure.

But it doesn't matter, Martin looked at another test tube in Gress's hand.

There are some small light yellow crystals inside.

It is the famous TNT and trinitrotoluene.

Gries picked up the test tube and looked at the crystals inside, and his eyes also lit up.

"This thing is simply perfect gunpowder!"

Martin nodded, indeed, this thing was tested by thousands of battles in World War I and World War II, and the soldiers who died under shells must agree with this.

As explosives, this thing is more stable and reliable.

In later generations, tnt was used as the standard unit of explosives, so it is often heard that kilograms of TNT explosives were used to describe the intensity of the explosion.

Moreover, the process of making this thing is a relatively simple content in organic chemistry, and Martin still remembers it...

Half a minute later, another explosion came from the open space.

"Although its power is slightly worse than nitroglycerin, it is better than the gunpowder I have been using before, and it is more convenient to transport and store." Glace said, cleaning up the dust on his head.

"If you want to make a large amount, is it difficult?" Martin is more concerned about this.

Gress shook her head regretfully again: "At present, we can only make it by our craftsmen, and the raw materials are sufficient. Benzene can be obtained from coal mines, but from benzene to toluene to trinitrotoluene, the reaction materials and conditions required during the reaction process are currently not in the possibility of mass production."

Martin took a breath and rubbed his eyebrows. This had already touched the limitations of no industrialization. To produce TNT, it required sulfuric acid, nitric acid and other industrial raw materials, and a reactor, a qualified operator... What was missing was a complete industrial system...

"The daily output can reach about 30 kilograms per day, and it can only be achieved at this point at present," said Gress.

Martin nodded. Many people in the Craftsman Temple had been pulled in by Gress. They learned knowledge from Gress while helping him with work.

But if you want to form a system, it is not enough to rely on the ability of the extraordinary. The limiting factors are too great, and these valuable researchers should have positions that are more suitable for them...

In the afternoon, Martin visited the newly built communities in the west of the city to accommodate the people who came to Faralin during this period.

The houses here are all made of stone, and bluestone slabs are made of local materials. Although the houses are simple, they are at least a place to live.

As for cement, it is still in short supply, and the priority of road construction is higher.

By the time Martin returned to his residence, it was already evening.

After dinner, Martin sat in front of the window and looked at the semicircular moon outside the window.

Although most of the gray fog was cleared, there were still some residues, making the moonlight look even more dimmed.

And in this light, there will occasionally be a trace of out-of-control fluctuations.

"It has been confirmed that the fog and sunshine on the moon have reached a state of equilibrium, but there will be a few days of gray moon every month, and the next month will be around 19 to 23. The nights in these days will become very dangerous, just like a week ago." Tiya said.

"The Temple has issued an announcement to remind all the extraordinary."

Martin stared at the moon, nodded, wrote down the time, and asked another topic:

"I heard that Coretta had a discussion about Faralin?"

Although the debate in the palace ended in a bit hasty, the undercurrent was still surging and had already reached Faralin.

As a trade hub, many nobles have partners in Faralin. Various rumors have caused a lot of rumors to arise in the city.

The broadest one is that the king will soon lead his troops to attack Faralin and Annu Fortress... For a moment, Faralin felt a little panic.

However, under the joint statement of the four counts, the rumors were quickly broken.

The people who were still pouring in and sent them also brought news from the north. After Charles Fifty-three came to power, the world was amnesty, and most of the conscripted people had been dismissed.

"The king is currently quite friendly, but some nobles have different opinions on the current Faralin," Tia explained.

Martin is not surprised at all. Faralin may be so sweet that in some people, it makes them ignore who the cake is in control.

"Don't worry about this. Faralin welcomes anyone to do business, just follow the rules." Martin said.

This was the decision he made after discussing with several earls.

Faralin is open to all nobles as long as they can gain a foothold here.

The nobles attached great importance to the territory, and often all the business in the territory was in their own hands, which was also the consensus of almost all the nobles.

They would naturally think that the same is true for Faralin.

But in fact, the four Earls of Faralin did not fully control all industries in the city, and a large part of the business was discovered by the merchants themselves.

This decision is a trick of killing two birds with one stone. It can not only ease the relationship with Coretta, but also win over some nobles. Once they have an industry in Fararin, it will be equivalent to half of their feet on Fararin. If there is another conflict between Fararin and Coretta in the future, their position will be biased.

In addition, Faralin is developing rapidly now. In addition to population, there are also many industries with gaps. It is difficult for local businessmen to keep up in a short period of time. External funds and personnel can provide vitality for Faralin's development.

"Will there be no problem with attracting nobles to invest? You should be very clear about the faces of those nobles?" Tiya asked.

Of course, Martin knew that he could do everything he could to gain profits, and at this point the aristocrats had more methods than merchants!

Merchants will work together to squeeze workers' wages, while nobles will turn workers into their own slaves!

"Of course there is no problem for those who do business and make money, but those who do not abide by the rules will naturally be punished. Faralin is not their territory!" said Martin.

Tiya nodded and took out a bag from her arms.

"This is the material you want."

Martin took the bag and opened it and looked at it. It was a strangely shaped yellow translucent stone, less than the size of a palm.

【Tevaraco's Leap: Spiritual Material, one of the potion formula materials for Fate Sequence 6】

This is the tendon of an extraordinary creature called Tevalako. It looks like a cow and a deer. It mainly lives in the Siva Mountains. It moves very quickly and is very sensitive to dangers and is difficult to catch.

Of course, its effect is very obvious. It was found by Martin and Toutia, and he did not forget his own constraints.

【Binding: Help Doriani Nabich advance.】

Doriani is already in Sequence 8, and she has the materials for Sequence 7 herself, so Martin is collecting the formula and materials for Sequence 6 of Fate.

When I entered a nightmare two days ago, I met Vera, who was also a sequence of fate. At that time, Martin got the potion formula for advanced fate sequence 6. Not only did it, but also known the formula for sequence 6, but also the formula for sequence 5 and sequence 4.

Martin was extremely suspicious that the reason why Villa was waiting there was because he deliberately arranged it for the moon to provide him with this information!

"What is this for?" Tiya asked by the way.
