By the fifth day of the agreement, Roland finally prepared all the ingredients for making fire cotton.
When electrolyzing salt water, he also made a serious mistake. He used Anna to cut the remaining copper strips of the bullet as an electrode, which resulted in the electrode being dissolved, wasting a basin of salt water. In order to prevent chlorine from dissolved in water during electrolysis, the electrolyte was generally saturated salt water, and salt was not a bargain in this era.
Therefore, when dumping out the discarded brine that was melted into copper ions and produced debris precipitation, Roland felt that he had thrown away several golden dragons in vain, and finally replaced the electrode with a carbon rod before solving the problem.
He boiled the oil with caustic soda and water to remove the grease, and after obtaining the degreased cotton gauze, he brought the remaining caustic soda to the chemistry laboratory together.
The esterification of fire cotton is the most important step in the production process. He is not clear about the principle, he only knows that he needs to soak the gauze into the mixed acid solution and take it out after the nitration is complete.
I don't know the solution ratio and reaction time.
Roland asked Kaimo to divide it into several groups to test, using hourglass to control the time, and the soaked small piece of gauze was repeatedly washed with water, then soaked in sodium hydroxide solution to react to remove excess acid. The wet finished product was transported back to the castle and handed to Wendy for air-drying.
Since smoked nitric acid with a high concentration is used during esterification, most of the trial products can be quickly ignited, and the fire cotton soaked in one part of nitric acid and two parts of sulfuric acid is the best effect.
After obtaining the rough formula, the laboratory started mass production and completed the soaking and washing of the fire cotton will be transported away by the soldiers of the First Army, and even the chief alchemist did not know what the things they made were for.
The air-dried gauze was cut into squares the size of nails by the maids, and packed to Beipo Mountain, and finally filled in the backyard of the firing room.
Without machine installation, this process can only be completed by manpower.
A group of personal guards sat apart, gently poked the glued fire cotton gauze into the bottom of the shell with a wooden stick, sealed the ignition hole, and then poured the granular black gunpowder into the shell with a funnel, and compacted it in layers, so that the loading amount of each piece should be as consistent as possible.
The last step is to press the bullet. The bullet processed by Anna is extremely fitting with the shell. After pushing it in with bare hands, you can just tap it with a hammer a few times.
The efficiency is a little low, but it can produce about a hundred bullets a day.
By the sixth day, Carter finally used a new weapon with a complete body.
As the chief knight with excellent physical qualities, his hit rate has improved significantly after several days of repeated practice. Compared with Roland's shooting performance during military training, it is completely different.
After changing into a flintlock, Carter finally didn't have to hold the musket in a strange shooting posture with his wrist sagging. As long as the sealing fire cotton does not break, the bullet nest can be kept clean. At the same time, it is sensitive to Mars several times that of black gunpowder, and the firing rate is guaranteed.
Taking advantage of the last day, Roland asked Catlanis to practice drawing a gun quickly and shooting a 12mm caliber pistol with two guns. Even if using black gunpowder, the recoil was very impressive. It was difficult to ensure the second shot hit rate with a gun in one hand. However, in Roland's plan, this was accidentally attacked by the backwater close behind the Ashes.
Carter will appear with two guns. In the tug-of-war, ten bullets are enough to determine the outcome. If he is approached soon after the game, he can quickly draw out another gun to counterattack.
Moreover, considering that the opponent's weapons have certain defensive capabilities, Roland specially chose a steel warhead that is not easy to deform, increasing penetration while reducing the lethality of the cavity.
With the limitations of smelting technology in this era, the exaggerated shape of the Ashes's great sword is probably melted by pig iron, which will not bring about quality improvement. On the contrary, the huge iron weapon cannot be fully forged, and the internal stress distribution is even more uneven, so it cannot be called a good shield.
According to Roland's point of view, the Great Sword is at most a whiteboard weapon. If you are not particularly lucky, the possibility of jumping is very low.
If Ashes wants to defeat Carter, they must first get close to the Knights, which is the natural disadvantage of cold weapons over hot weapons.
As long as it is not exaggerated to the point where you can visually observe the ballistic trajectory and avoid bullets in an instant, this distance is an insurmountable gap.
*******************
It was not until the sky was getting late that Ashes waited until Maisie flew back to her room.
Why are you coming back late these days?She asked by closing the window.
Lightning took me to catch the birds, and Maisie turned back into a human form and took out a roasted bird's leg from her pocket. The fragrance filled the room immediately. I specially left it for you.
I've eaten it, Ash shook his head, is Lightning the witch of the Communist Youth Society?
Well, she nodded vigorously, her ability is the same as mine, but it is much more convenient to use.After a moment of pause, she continued to ask, Sister Ashes, do you have to fight this?I think...they won't follow you, and they live a good life here.
Ashes were stunned and did not answer.
Because even I wanted to stay here, Maisie sat down on the bed and said to herself that the bed was soft and she was eating a lot.When I saw lunch, the lord specially placed the dining table in the backyard and ate with the witches who had finished practicing.Everyone talks and laughs, and he occasionally makes a few sentences, which are completely different from what other nobles hate.In the afternoon, I was dragged to play Gent by lightning. The two of them drew ten cards to compete with each other. The final victory with a large number of points was very interesting.They also gave me two decks, Sister Ashes, are you going to play?I'll teach you.
No... Ashes shook his head and took a deep breath.
She also noticed Maisie's changes these days, but it was not until this moment that she suddenly realized that her thoughts seemed to be in a misunderstanding.
Most witches live in trepidated days, and a stable and comfortable place to live is all they pursue.
For example, Maisie, before being accepted by Tilly, had been hiding in the thatched hut of the royal capital slum, spending every night like a real bird, curling her body in the slits of the roof beam.
Even though Tilly decided to cross the sea eastward, Maisie was also running around to contact the witches who were hidden in the folk, and she had not stopped for half a year.
This is probably the first time she has experienced such a comfortable and peaceful life.
Isn’t that the same?
It was not until after meeting Tilly that she lived a life she never dared to think about before.
Accustomed to the relatively peaceful life of the palace, she ignored the town's attraction to the meaning of these witches, which was never comparable in the eyes of the witches.
Their mood to stay here and protect this territory is probably the same as they want to protect Tilly...
If Roland Wimbledon could really resist the crazy Divine Punishment Army as he said, it would be undoubtedly a better choice than the Fjord to build a witch's kingdom in a completely strange land. It sounds like a longing for, but in fact, no one can predict how many hardships it will suffer.
But if he can't resist, should the witches leave?
Ashes' mood suddenly calmed down.
Think from another perspective, if Tilly could not gain a foothold in the fjord, she might choose to stand by her side and protect her until the last moment.
As someone who gives her own home, she has no reason to leave first.
This place is under the threat of the church at all times, and cannot stop the army of God's punishment. It is a matter of time before the border town is destroyed.
This competition is indeed unnecessary...but she still decided to complete it, to wake up or prove it.
What if they can block it?Maisie muttered.
I hope so, so I will help them verify this.Ashes said in a deep voice.
She closed her eyes and was ready to do her best.
