My Island Survival in the Wild

Chapter 422 Making Gunpowder

"No, it should be the sound of artillery, and it is very far away from us. Xiong Batian left not long ago."

Lin Xiu shook his head, and then climbed up the mountain.

After reaching the top of the mountain, Lin Xiu looked into the distance from the tree.

I saw that in the direction of the indigenous tribe, there was thick smoke rising into the sky at this moment, mixed with sporadic gunshots and cannon sounds.

"It seems that the generals here are even more impatient than I thought, they are now at war!"

Lin Xiu looked at the gunpowder smoke in the distance, and said to the water friends.

"I didn't expect these indigenous wars to start so soon!"

The water friends were also a little surprised. After all, Lin Xiu only started to sow discord last night, dividing the forces of the natives.

It stands to reason that before going to war, shouldn't it be brewing first?

This started the fight directly, which seemed too hasty.

It seems that as Lin Xiu said, this general is not so calm.

"This is also expected. After all, the general has the strongest armed force on the island, and his confidant was killed again. It is normal for him to want to kill the traitor in the shortest time!"

"It's just that this war is destined to be difficult to finish. Although the general has weapons, the lieutenants are not too bad, and they have enough people to consume. It is impossible for the general to fight a blitzkrieg!"

"Isn't that general the emperor of the island? It stands to reason that he should have quite a few people!"

After the water friends heard Lin Xiu's analysis, they hurriedly sent barrage questions.

"I took a look at the terrain of the back mountain when I went there yesterday. I found that although a castle has been built there, the scope is not large. It can accommodate three to four hundred people at most. Excluding those who cannot fight, the general has the most No more than 400 people."

"As for the united lieutenants, there are at least 800 natives and slaves who can fight in their hands. This advantage in numbers allows them to ignore the general's weapon advantage to the greatest extent!"

Before making a plan, Lin Xiu had of course considered all the key points.

"Couldn't the anchor be the king of soldiers before? He even analyzed the battle situation so clearly!"

"If the anchor was born in the ancient times of Dahua, he would be a marshal at least!"

When the water friends heard that Lin Xiu knew exactly how many natives there were, they all admired him.

Lin Xiu shook his head, he is not a soldier king.

The ability to analyze the battle situation depends entirely on his IQ.

After watching for a while, Lin Xiu jumped down from the tree.

"The indigenous tribes will be fighting in the melee these two days, we may not be able to sleep peacefully, but this is just convenient for my plan!"

Lin Xiu first said something to the water friends, and then continued to improve his boat.

After completing the details of the ship, Lin Xiu started to work on another matter.

He used the navigation to find some caves of different sizes on the island, and then walked into the cave with a cloth bag.

Inside the cave, Lin Xiu scraped off many crystals with a knife, and then put them all in a bag.

"What are the hosts doing scraping these stone skins!?"

"Is this stuff salt? It doesn't look like it!"

"I remember there was something like this under the eaves of my hometown, but I don't know what it is!"

Seeing Lin Xiu scratching these things, the water friends were puzzled.

"Oh, this, this is one of the basic materials used to make a nitrosulfur carbon mixture!"

Lin Xiu answered the questions of the water friends while scraping the stone powder.

"Nitrocarbon mixture!?"

"People who study chemistry say they understand!"

"Finally can I learn how to use gunpowder from the anchor!"

Some water friends didn't understand what Lin Xiu was going to do at all, but some people with basic chemistry knowledge all reacted instantly.

Nitrocarb is the basic proportioning method of gunpowder. Even modern explosives are also based on these materials.

Lin Xiu obviously wants to make explosives.

The stone powder in this cave is natural nitrate powder.

"Old irons, I don't do a specific demonstration here, and I don't recommend everyone to imitate it!"

Lin Xiu waved his hand, and after seeing that the nitrate powder in the cave was gone, he took the bag and walked to the next place.

After walking in several directions, Lin Xiu finally filled the whole bag.

"Enough to make a large explosive!"

Lin Xiu patted the bulging bag with satisfaction.

He then returned to their shelter with these items.

"Ow!"

As soon as they saw Lin Xiu coming back, Xiong Batian and the others hurried over.

"Has the tung oil you're looking for arrived yet?"

Lin Xiu looked at the two of them.

"Hum!"

Xiong Batian nodded, and then led him to the side.

When he came to the side, Lin Xiu saw a large pile of tung oil fruits.

And if the two of them couldn't pick it off, they pulled out the whole tree and took it away.

"Very good, this part is enough!"

Seeing what the two of them were doing, Lin Xiu shook his head speechlessly. Fortunately, the natives are not patrolling the island now, otherwise their tracks would definitely be exposed if there was such a big commotion.

Lin Xiu handed the dagger to Xiong Batian and asked him to open the tung oil fruit, while Lin Xiu himself came to the cave with nitrate powder.

He took out the charcoal left over from the previous fire, and then ground the charcoal into powder.

"Anchor, although you have nitrate and charcoal now, where are you going to get sulfur!"

Some water friends who knew a little bit asked Lin Xiu immediately when they saw Lin Xiu collecting toner.

"Sulfur is the simplest thing, because it is a non-metallic element, so most foods contain it!"

Lin Xiu made a perfunctory statement, although it is no secret that the simple ratio of gunpowder is no longer a secret, but if he deliberately mentioned it, the impact would be bad.

Only some water friends are interested in this matter, so no one keeps asking.

Lin Xiu first mixed charcoal powder and saltpeter powder together, and then found some wild garlic nearby.

He dug up a large barrel of wild garlic, beat it into a paste with a wooden stick, and then forced out the garlic juice inside.

"Ow!"

Just as Lin Xiu got out the garlic juice, Xiong Batian came over.

It moves quickly, and the work of opening the tung oil fruit is not difficult for it.

"Well, let's oil the boat first!"

Lin Xiu nodded, put down the garlic juice, and walked outside with Xiong Batian.

"Don't care about the garlic juice!"

"Yeah, it's done by the old man. Could it be that the anchor is playing tricks to enhance the effect of the show, taking off his pants and farting?"

Seeing that Lin Xiu put down the work at hand so easily, the water friends all felt that they couldn't keep up with his rhythm.

"Garlic juice can only be used later, it is not suitable to use now!"

Looking at the barrage, Lin Xiu said something casually, and walked towards the ship with the tung oil Xiong Batian made.
