86 – Episode 86 New Weapon
Feeling the need for gunpowder,
The first thing I did was call Debé.
“So. “There is no such substance?”
“You mean exploding powder? “As far as I know, none.”
Gunpowder.
It is known that gunpowder originated in China.
It must have been introduced from China to Europe.
The time would have been around medieval Europe.
If you look at the game, you used to fight with cold weapons, but gunpowder weapons appeared in the Middle Ages.
‘This place is also at the medieval level…’
“Think about it carefully. “Have you heard anything, even a rumor?”
Deves shook his head.
“Nothing. If it’s powder like that, I’ll remember it. And do you really need powder? “All it takes is a wizard to cause an explosion.”
From Noble mtl dot com
Magic that exists in another world.
In effect, it replaces science.
Is that why?
The level of science was lower than that of Earth’s medieval Europe.
“Hmm… you mean there isn’t one? “In the end, I have to find it.”
“Are you planning on making that powder? But does such powder exist? “It could be a waste of time.”
“Powder exists. “I just don’t know how to make it.”
“Well, do whatever you want.”
Deve got up from his seat.
“What are you doing? Sit down.”
“Isn’t it over?”
“No. From now on, I have something for you to do. Bring all the ingredients in the world. “In front of me.”

In the Iron Central Workshop, raw materials were piled up every day.
Sit in front of them,
The image of gunpowder came to mind.
Write the word gunpowder on a blank piece of paper,
The ingredients were combined.

Like when making soap,
All kinds of substances were combined.
Of course, I didn’t actually do it, I just drew up a blueprint.

“No, when we played the game, we started by giving gunpowder.”
I used to like war games.
Unfortunately, gunpowder was not made in such a game.
Even though the guns were upgraded,
Because we started by giving them the initial gun.
“Master, it’s time to eat.”
De Wet placed the meal on the corner of her desk.
“How long has it been since you started work?”
“It’s been over two weeks. If she continues like this, her body will suffer. Exercise and do the same. “That way, her head will work well.”
Dewes was right.
Because I wrote down a lot of weekly raw material combination formulas.
Those are all combinations that failed.
After eating, I left the workshop.
I frowned under the warm sunlight.
Because I was always in the workshop during the day, I didn’t see much sun.
“It’s definitely because I got exposed to the sun. “I feel better.”
I felt better, unlike when I only stayed in the workshop.
At the same time, her thoughts also changed positively.
‘You just need to find completion level 1.’
Completeness 1.
In other words, you only need to find the main ingredients for gunpowder.
You can quickly find the ratio between them using a blueprint.
“Okay. Let’s try again!”
Three days after that,
[Completeness: 1]
“Finally…”
Three raw materials for gunpowder were discovered.
[Completeness: 1]
[Completeness: 3]
[Completeness: 11]
By adjusting the proportion of raw materials, the level of completion rose sharply.
Finally,
[Completeness: 67]
After that, it wasn’t easy to upload.
Still, 67 is not a bad number.
Complete the basic design of gunpowder,
I called Deve.
Salt vinegar, sulfur, and charcoal were placed in front of him.
“Do you know this ingredient?”
“Of course.”
“What is the supply and demand of each material? How is it?”
The first thing I pointed to was charcoal.
“Charcoal is obtained by burning wood. The trees on Monster Island are hard and good for making charcoal. “There will be no problem getting it.”
“Okay. Next?”
The next thing pointed out was Yeomcho.
“Salt grass can be collected from caves, but the main source is…”
“What is the source of supply?”
“It’s a monster body disposal site.”
“A body disposal site?”
There are several ways to dispose of monster corpses.
The first is to leave it as is.
Then other monsters or animals eat it.
The second is to throw it away at the monster corpse disposal site.
Move the corpse to a designated location to prevent other monsters from approaching it.
“I know you can get it when the monster’s corpse decomposes.”
“So. “So if you have a lot of monster corpses, you can get a lot of saltweed?”
Monster Island.
The area with the most monsters.
That situation has been helpful recently.
In addition to making soap, even making gunpowder.
“I guess we’ll have to build monster body disposal sites everywhere. Then we can get more saltweed.”
While I was organizing my thoughts,
Deve hesitated to speak.
“If you have something to say, say it.”
“That’s it. I don’t think it necessarily has to be a monster corpse. A place with a lot of animal corpses. “I heard that salt plants were even collected from places where there were a lot of human and demi-human corpses.”
I could understand why there was hesitation.
Because the other method he mentioned was quite irritating.
“There are a lot of monsters in Ireland. There is no other way to do it. “How about Hwang?”
“Sulfur can be found in volcanic areas.”
“There are no volcanoes on Monster Island, right?”
At least there were no volcanoes in the areas where humans lived.
“Not as far as I know.”
It seemed that salt vinegar and charcoal could be supplied within Ireland.
The problem was Hwang.
“I guess I’ll have to import it. “Is there enough production on the continent?”
“I don’t know the situation on the entire continent, but I heard that the Roman Empire produces a lot of sulfur.”
Roman Empire.
A country that once ruled the continent, but is now located in the southern coastal region.
On the other hand, Monster Island is an island in the northwest of the continent.
The distance between the two was quite far.
‘No. They said there was a lot of production there. ‘It doesn’t mean that it isn’t produced in other regions.’
A plan was made to secure three raw materials.
1) Salt grass.
Construction of monster body disposal sites in each region.
2) Charcoal.
Construction of a factory to cut down trees and make charcoal.
3) Hwang.
Imported using Irish merchants.
I sent the plan to Isaac.
“If you explained it this way, you will figure it out.”
I need to stay in the iron more.
We have only just completed the first stage, the development of gunpowder.

City Plain.
Government office.
“What is the status of satellite city development?”
“The essential facilities of the first satellite city have been completed. “It will be possible for wanderers to move in within this week.”
“Hurry up with the rest.”
“I understand.”
Issac handed over the documents.
Then the next agenda item came out.
“What about the influx of wanderers?”
“Many people are still coming to Plain.”
Plain’s population is increasing rapidly.
Because the number was so large, the population growth rate was steep even in the entire Frontier.
Nevertheless, the lord told him to continue accepting wanderers.
They say the more the better.
“Continue to support new nomads to settle down.”
“I understand.”
I have passed the next chapter.
A new agenda has emerged again.
‘What the hell is my lord…’
I was able to find out only after taking charge of overall internal affairs.
How much work has the master handled?
The meeting continued like that for a while,
We finally arrived at the last page of the document.
At that moment,
Knock. Knock.
A knock was heard and the door opened.
“This is a letter from Lord So.”
Isaac opened the letter.
There was a new job written there.
I think I will leave work later today.

“Why not?”
I have never made a rifle before.
I have never used it, but
I have encountered it many times through games and movies.
“Can’t you just turn the gun over like this, put gunpowder in it, put a bullet in it, press it, and fire?”
[Completeness: 0]
[Completeness: 0]
“Why not?”
I stopped drawing the blueprint and focused on my thoughts.
‘A gun is something that goes out when gunpowder explodes, right?’
Ignite the gunpowder inside the gun and explode it.
Perhaps, as the solid gunpowder changes into gas, its volume increases rapidly, and the instantaneous energy is used to send the bullet flying.
“So. Add gunpowder, add bullets, light it, and boom! Isn’t it over? “If this is going to be the case, it would be easier to make a cannon.”
To rest my head,
I drew a blueprint for a cannon.
Then,
[Completeness: 2]
“Wow…”
It is a really simple blueprint.
In a long cylinder,
It is equipped with two wheels to move it.
Put gunpowder into it,
A very basic type of cannon that fires bullets.
“Even though it’s this crude, the level of completion is 2? “Then what are the guns you’ve designed so far?”
Back to basics.
Reduced the size of the cannon.
Enough for a person to lift.
The gun was completed like that.
[Completeness: 3]
One person must hold the gun, and another person must light the fire from the side.
In other words, two people were needed to fire.
“But can this be called a gun? “It would be closer to a bazooka.”
A gun with no trigger and only a long cylinder.
The name Mini Cannon would have been more appropriate.
“Anyway, the level of completion is starting to come out. “Let’s develop from here.”
I started drawing the blueprint again.
Every time I created a blueprint, the completeness value appeared.
[Completeness: 3]
[Completeness: 3]
[Completeness: 4]
