Chapter 308 (1/2)

As an Aboriginal chieftain, junaruska is an excellent chieftain, but he can still hear the professional terms such as ”bitter powder”, ”smokeless powder”, ”48mm caliber” and ”double diameter”.

Although I didn't understand, chief junaruska still listened with interest. For him, this is a good opportunity to broaden his horizons, and let him gradually change from an ignorant Aboriginal chief to another form of chief.

But the surprise of the stone bear is real.

Brother Gai and Agust are really powerful. They not only made smokeless powder and picric acid, but also mercury fulminate.

It can be said that the biggest obstacle to the production of flowering bullets and even all metal bullets with fixed charge has been completely cleared.

The main reason why the shells used by various countries are still solid shells is that they are detonated. Before Mercury fulminate was developed, let alone the military of European countries, even the stone bear couldn't make a bomb.

Now, although the stone bear has made grenades and heartless guns, they are all detonated with fuse. The safety is poor, and there is a certain probability of failure, which is far less than the safety and high success rate of the detonating method of the firecap.

It's not polite to say that once there is mercury fulminate, you can make a fire cap, so whether it's a shell or a bullet, it's OK.

Compared with the preparation of mercury fulminate, whether it is bitter or smokeless powder is much easier, so brother Gai and Agust quickly found out the ratio of the two kinds of powder according to the preparation method provided by Shi Xiong.

Smokeless powder can be used directly after being prepared, but it needs to add some heavy metal powder if it wants to become a fierce medicine.

Picric acid is a kind of strong acid. If it doesn't come into contact with metal, it's not dangerous. It was originally developed as a dye in history and space, and it wasn't applied to the military until a hundred years later, which shows the safety of this thing.

But once it comes into contact with the metal, it will immediately corrode the metal and form highly sensitive picric acid salts. The reason why picric acid is so powerful is because of the existence of these picric acid salts.

In fact, brother gaige and Agust got rid of the bitterness within a few days after the stone bear left the tribe. Just to make the yellow powder explode violently, they experimented for more than ten days.

Several of the experiments almost had an accident. If it wasn't for Shi Xiong's serious warning that this kind of bitter powder was extremely powerful and sensitive, which made them psychologically prepared. During the experiment, they always controlled the amount of bitter powder and paid great attention to safety, so that nothing happened.

If someone else didn't know how to take part in the experiment directly, he would have been blown up for a long time.

Just like how many people died after the appearance of Xiaohua Mandarin oil in the original historical time and space? Well, it's not the enemy's life, it's your own.

Although kuweisuazha medicine is not as sensitive as Xiaohua Mandarin oil, it's not so bad. If one doesn't pay attention to it, it's really the end of no bones.
