Heroes of Silver Moon

After confirming that gun cotton could be produced normally, Simon quickly made more nitric acid and sulfuric acid.

The two acids were mixed together, and Simon dipped a bunch of cotton in the mixed acid.

Fixed bullets have a great demand for smokeless gunpowder, and the kind of ignition cotton produced before can't meet Simon's experimental needs at all.

The gun cotton has been manufactured, and the next step is to increase the stability of the gun cotton.

The current kind of gun cotton will spontaneously ignite when it exceeds 40 degrees. Simon dare not use this dangerous product as a propellant for custom-made bullets.

"Ethanol, ether," Simon thought hard.

In Simon's mind, he still vaguely remembered the development history of Blue Star's modern weapons.

After the gun cotton is soaked in ethanol and ether, it will become a more stable burning material.

Ethanol, that is, high-concentration alcohol, is quite easy to manufacture, and Simon already has a general idea in mind.

The trouble is ether, which is pretty hard to make.

First, ethanol and sulfuric acid must be mixed together for distillation, and then after many, many chemical reactions, the impurities in the distillate can be filtered out.

With Simon's current handicraft workshop alone, there is no possibility of making it at all!

However, if you just make distillate, it seems to be barely usable, Simon scratched the back of his head.

In this almost medieval handicraft workshop, it would be nice to be able to produce a distillate with a low purity, what bicycle is needed!

Don't forget, if there is no extraordinary power, Simon can't even make nitric acid and sulfuric acid now.

Find Sir Ilsa of the Royal Chamber of Commerce and ask him to help prepare some moldy cheap wheat and some wheat straw.

Anyway, among all the crops, what is cheap and what is available!

Then Simon spent some more money and asked him how ale and wine were made.

After learning about fermented alcohol, Simon began to make wine.

After a series of failures, Simon brewed low-purity grain wine, and then heated and evaporated the water with fire elements, and Simon obtained high-purity ethanol.

Ethanol and concentrated sulfuric acid were mixed one to one for distillation, and Simon produced a distillate containing ether.

Dry the collodion, and then immerse it in a mixture of ethanol and ether.

After it gradually became a jelly, Simon pressed it into tablets and dried it, and finally produced the propellant for the fixed bullet.

The propellant has been fixed, and the next step is the primer.

Blue Star's earliest bullet primer used mercury fulminate, and its production method was relatively simple.

It is to dissolve mercury into nitric acid, and then react with ethanol to form mercury fulminate.

Nitrate Simon has it, and ethanol Simon also has it. As long as mercury is found, Simon can quickly extract mercury fulminate.

Mercury is mercury, a highly poisonous liquid metal. Simon doesn't have it here, so he has to go to Clifford for help.

In the study, after listening to Simon's description of Mercury, Clifford's forehead was full of black lines.

Mercury, this is a super expensive alchemy material, what is this kid doing?

"Teacher, I just need one bottle, a small bottle." Simon's words kept echoing in Clifford's ears.

"No, things like mercury are very expensive, so I just have a little in reserve," Clifford replied helplessly.

"Oh, just one bottle, one bottle is not enough." Simon was secretly happy, as long as Clifford had it, it would be fine!

"Tsk, a bottle of two hundred gold coins!" Clifford shook his head, and directly mentioned the price of mercury.

"Huh? It's only two hundred gold coins. It's fine to just deduct it from my account." Simon looked disgusted. He thought mercury was so expensive?

Simon is now producing enchanted equipment, which is completely 3D printed, and the speed is simply too fast.

Although Silvermoon Kingdom's spending power is weak, and it simply cannot afford more enchanted equipment, Simon has earned at least two to three thousand gold coins these days.

All this money was in Clifford's hands, and it was worthless if it was not spent.

"That's alright," Clifford reluctantly took out a crystal potion bottle made of quartz.

Inside the potion bottle was a silver-white metallic liquid.

After taking the medicine bottle, Simon rushed back to the operating room in a hurry.

Clifford sat in the room thinking for a moment, and then followed silently.

He wants to see what Simon is doing these days!

Clifford came outside Simon's operating room, and saw Simon open the potion bottle in his hand, and then poured it directly into another jar of potion.

Um? Another potion? Clifford was suspicious.

Scanning Simon's operating room through the crack of the door, Clifford found that in Simon's operating room, there were piles and piles of potion bottles that he didn't know what they were used for.

At least half of the 20-square-meter operating room was filled with these bottles.

Seeing the potion bottles all over the room, instead of being angry, Clifford nodded in satisfaction.

This boy Simon already looks like an alchemist!

That's right, for Clifford ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ or for most alchemists, these jars of medicine bottles for which they don't know what they are used for are basically the symbol of alchemists.

The more experienced the alchemist, the more unknown potions he made.

Take Clifford as an example. Before entering the Magic Academy, Simon had visited the Alchemy Workshop of the Alchemy Department. A yard in the workshop was completely used to place these potions.

Compared with the potion made by Clifford, the potion in Simon's half of the room is nothing more than drizzle.

"I have to remind Simon that these medicines should not be distributed indiscriminately. If they explode, they will cause danger," Clifford thought secretly.

He had learned a lesson before. When giving Klee the Fujian Alchemy Workshop, a construction worker accidentally broke a potion bottle and was blown to pieces on the spot.

Seeing Simon's serious face, he extracted some off-white crystals from the potion bottle, Clifford pushed open the door, and quietly came behind Simon.

Putting the extracted mercury fulminate carefully into a dry potion bottle, a smile finally appeared on Simon's face.

It's not easy! Making compounds by hand from scratch is **** hard!

"What are you refining?" The voice from behind shook Simon's frightened body violently.

Pressing down on the operating table with both hands, looking at the mercury fulminate bottle that he almost touched, a trace of cold sweat appeared behind Simon.

If he knocked over this bottle of mercury fulminate, he would sacrifice his life for the cause of explosives immediately!

Simon turned his head and looked at Clifford with an unhappy face. Clifford knew he was wrong, and quickly turned his head away with a smirk.

Without agreeing to Clifford, Simon nervously picked up a piece of brass and began the final process.
