Chapter 980: Purchasing supplies, preparation before departure
"However, Your Majesty."
"The raw materials you collect must be qualified, dry and free of impurities." Su Chen added: "Otherwise, not only will the power of gunpowder be greatly reduced, but it will also lead to dangerous accidents."
"Don't worry about it."
"Marquis Gregory is very strict and has never let me down."
"There is also the issue of the barrel of the flamingo gun. I found a few palace blacksmiths. Go and tell them about the manufacturing process."
The old king ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated.
Fortunately, the old man didn't mention Lux and his marriage, which made him spend a little less time talking.
It is estimated that yesterday's assassination made him feel an unprecedented threat. He wanted to defeat Noxus and the other four kingdoms as soon as possible, dominate the continent, and establish an empire.
The Blood Blade Tavern is the No. 1 killer organization in the mainland. It runs in the six kingdoms and has countless members. It even recruits a few strong saints, which shows that its strength is profound.
If the continent is not unified, it will be difficult to kill them all.
Subsequently.
A minister led him to the backyard of the palace, where dozens of blacksmiths were waiting for him to teach.
The manufacturing process of the gun barrel is not difficult. Su Chen explained a few details. These experienced blacksmiths all understood and tried to make the first iron pipe.
Su Chen was not idle either.
He wanted to make flintlock guns by borrowing the equipment from the imperial city blacksmith shop.
After making some requests, the forge master quickly found ingots for forging and some flint.
Flint, also known as flint, produces Mars when struck.
The principle of the flintlock gun is to simplify the ignition process, using a knock-on structure, let the flint hit the fire door to generate sparks, ignite the gunpowder in the medicine pool, and complete the ignition.
In fact, there was a matchlock gun between the flame gun and the flintlock gun, and Su Chen skipped it directly.
"Xi!!"
Standing by a blacksmith's furnace, Su Chen spread out his right hand, and flames poured out of his palm.
The flames flowed out like water, wrapping a few steel ingots. Under the strong urging of True Qi, the color of the flames deepened, gradually approaching deep red, and the steel ingots melted at a speed visible to the naked eye...
The other blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop were dumbfounded.
Can you do this?
Great my brother!
After the steel ingot melted a bit, Su Chen reached out and picked it up... That's right, no forging hammer, no tongs, just get started!
After his fire elementalization, he was not afraid of scalding at all, and with Li Yuanba's divine power, rubbing steel ingots was as easy as rubbing plasticine.
The blacksmiths are all in a daze!
Soon.
Su Chen rubbed the steel ingot into a barrel model, and then quenched and polished it. In the era of no grinding machine, it could only be polished manually.
Fortunately, he was fast enough and physically strong enough to polish the barrel extremely smoothly in a few minutes.
Next.
Make the hammer structure.
Strike iron, flint, buckle spring, buckle reed, trigger, these things are also made of steel ingots and fixed with screws.
Tried pulling the trigger, and the flint could just hit the edge of the medicine pool, producing sparks.
Then, he used birch wood to make the gun stock, which was installed behind the gunpowder pool with the hammer structure and fixed with a steel hoop.
With that, a flintlock gun is ready!
It looks simple enough.
But in fact, Su Chen's various auxiliary skills have been used together for ten hours, and more than half of his infuriating energy has been consumed!
Dozens of blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop looked at Su Chen's eyes as if they were admiring a god.
The combination of magic and forging technology is unprecedented!
After all, what magician would be willing to condescend to come to the scorching hot place of a blacksmith?
"call!"
"In one go, I'm doing a few!"
Su Chen wiped off the sweat from his head, simply took off his shirt, sat cross-legged on the ground, and ran "Nine Yang Divine Art" to quickly restore his true energy.
the next two days.
Su Chen soaked in the blacksmith shop without eating or drinking, and made five flintlock guns, plus the previous one, a total of six!
After quietly leaving the palace, he went to the Iron Rose House Exchange.
When he entered the city the day before yesterday, he first went to Butler Fowler and gave him a shopping list.
In addition to the three raw materials for preparing black powder, there are also fresh ingredients such as ambergris, green crayfish, snow oyster mushrooms, etc., let him buy as much as he has, and he accepts all of them.
"so much?"
Su Chen was surprised when he saw that the warehouse was full of fresh ingredients.
With so many ingredients, even if he didn't want to eat it, he would have been able to eat for several years.
"how much is the total?"
Su Chen smiled and strolled around. He was very satisfied with this amount.
It is estimated that this old man has scavenged all these materials in the entire Mithril City, right?
"Sir, there are 30,000 golden eagles in total."
Manager Fowler was a little nervous. The 30,000 golden eagles were almost all of his savings. If Su Chen didn't give it...
"Only thirty thousand?"
Su Chen pouted and threw a few large bags of golden eagles from the magic storage ring, hitting the ground heavily.
"You did a good job of this."
"There are about 35,000 golden eagles here, and the extra 5,000 is a reward for you."
Fowler was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
Getting the reward of five thousand golden eagles on one errand, and helping Arthur to do things, is too profitable!
After collecting these materials into the magic storage ring, Su Chen left the warehouse and returned to Windsor Castle.
Just entered the main castle.
Shyvana ran towards her and brought good news—
Last night, Ashe succeeded in transcending the tribulation!
"Yes?"
Su Chen raised his eyebrows, "So fast?"
Quickly came to the bedroom on the second floor, Youlan and Lux were sitting next to Ashe, asking questions, their pretty faces were full of joy.
According to Ashe, she suffered basically no pain last night, and the fire of God's Punishment only lasted for a short while before disappearing.
The strange blue and green flames permeated the surface of the body. It didn't burn clothes, only a slight scorching stinging sensation.
Youlan and Lux rushed over early in the morning, and they were all dumbfounded!
Only a slight burning sensation?
This, this is not normal!
The first time, it should be very painful!
You must know that when other witches experienced the torment of the fire of God's punishment, they were all in pain, and there were not a few people who died in pain! Ashe actually...
"Brother Su!"
When Ai Xi saw Su Chen walk in, she ran up the first time and threw herself into the young man's arms, "Brother Su... I... I succeeded!"
"Last night, it didn't hurt at all!"
"Cough-cough-"
Su Chen heard some ambiguity and coughed twice, "Congratulations, Ashe, you have brought a new life to the group of witches."
"By the way, has your body changed?"
He held Ashe and sat back in the chair.
According to Lux, as long as the witch survives the "Night of God's Punishment" safely, her own abilities will usher in an advanced level.
For example, Youlan can only be invisible before transcending the calamity. After transcending the calamity, not only the invisibility ability is greatly enhanced, but also two skill branches, wall penetration and flashing (short-distance teleportation) are derived.
Su Chen was looking forward to Ashe's new abilities.
Ashe leaned on Su Chen's side very intimately, dangling two slender legs with white porcelain and jade muscles:
"Of course."
"There's been a big change."
"The raw materials you collect must be qualified, dry and free of impurities." Su Chen added: "Otherwise, not only will the power of gunpowder be greatly reduced, but it will also lead to dangerous accidents."
"Don't worry about it."
"Marquis Gregory is very strict and has never let me down."
