Chapter 748

Explosives, the word made Sui Xiong think about it.

From the Nobel Prize to the World War, from Samsung phones to terrorist attacks... all kinds of thoughts surged into his mind like a tide, lingering.

It turns out that there are explosives in this world!

As far as Sui Xiong knows, there are no so-called explosives on Earth in this world. If explosives are needed, people in this world will use magic with this effect, or detonate magic crystals and other things with rich magic power to achieve similar effects.

There is no doubt that the cost of these two methods is very expensive. The most common explosion spell is fireball, one of the typical mid-level spells; the value of a magic crystal or magic crystal is more than that of hiring a mid-level wizard to cast fireball.

So all along, except for some special rich people, few people would use explosives to kill the enemy and win. Until Creek Keen came out of nowhere, when he was so ill that he could hardly walk, he arranged for Master Damwed to refine a large number of explosives, and then buried them in the basement of a hall, blowing up a large group of evil villains, without even one escaping.

But after that, no one made explosives again. Master Damwed focused on studying agriculture and never touched it again until he was deified. Creek Keen himself died in the explosion and became the Holy Spirit of the Void Mask.

...At least that's what the "informed" people thought.

In fact, Creek and Sui Xiong are the same person. The so-called "Creek explosives that have become extinct" were made by Sui Xiong based on the formula in a certain online novel he read.

He no longer remembers the name of that online novel. What impressed him most was that it described a large number of industrial technologies in detail, all kinds of them, and even drawings. In terms of explosives, it describes the steps of acid production, glycerin production, nitration, etc. in great detail. In theory, as long as you are not afraid of explosions during actual operation, a middle school student can follow its introduction to make powerful explosives.

When Sui Xiong first read the novel, this paragraph impressed him the most. So he was able to rely on his impression to invent this dangerous product that won the Nobel Prize on Earth, and use its power to make a big news.

However, even Sui Xiong didn't know that the dwarves were also studying explosives, and it seemed that they had already made some progress...

"Explosives? What are those?" Hopps certainly couldn't know anything about explosives. Hearing Dudu talking so mysteriously, he couldn't help asking.

Dudu thought for a while and said, "You can understand it as something similar to magic crystals, but they can't output magic power stably and can only be used for explosions."

Hopps nodded, indicating that he understood. Sid asked again: "So... how strong can such a large piece of bedrock produce an explosion? Compared to a standard fireball spell, is it big or small?"

He was referring to a piece of bedrock half the size of a palm.

Dudu pondered for a while and said: "It's probably equivalent to four or five fireball spells."

Sid's face suddenly turned pale, and he gently put the bedrock he was playing with on the ground. After thinking about it, he was still worried, so he picked it up and put it on Dudu's bed.

"How do you detonate this thing?" he asked.

"Knock it or burn it with an open flame, either way."

Hopps' face suddenly turned as pale as paper - in order to nail long nails on the rock wall these days, he didn't know how many times he had hit it with a hammer...

Looking at their nervous looks, Dudu couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, bedrock can't explode under normal circumstances."

As he said, he picked up the bedrock, placed it on an anvil next to him, and casually swung his usual hammer, smashing it into pieces with a bang.

Sid and Hops watched this scene, and they were terrified and almost ran away. Fortunately, Dudu's words just now gave them some confidence, otherwise they would never have the courage to stand here and continue talking.

"We dwarves discovered bedrock a long time ago, but it was not until a few years ago that we found that it could explode." Dudu smiled and said, "The key to this is our secret. Please forgive me for not telling you. In fact, knowing this will not be of any benefit to you, right?"

Sid and Hops looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

They now regretted asking for information. It was obvious that this matter was very serious. It was really not something that these two rookies could handle!

They did not dare to ask more and went back to sleep. As for whether they could sleep or have nightmares, only God knew.

The next day, Hops went to pull out all the long nails he had nailed.

"It's already been laid here. It's a pity to give up now!" One exploration team member regretted so much.

Hopps couldn't explain the reason, so he just smiled and explained: "Anyway, there is no way to go up the last section, so it's better to pull it out instead of leaving it here and wasting it."

"It's not a waste to leave it here, maybe it will be useful in the future."

"No... Anyway, the holes are still there, and if it's needed in the future, it won't be much trouble to reinstall the spikes." Hopps said so and led the team back to the camp.

In fact, he had made up his mind not to approach this cliff again in the future.

There are a lot of dangerous goods on it! Although he didn't know under what circumstances it would explode, he felt uneasy when he thought that a piece of half the size of a fist would explode with the power of four or five fireballs.

It's better to stay as far away from this damn place as possible!

At the top of the cliff, in a place that couldn't be seen from the ground, Sui Xiong took a piece of bedrock that had just been dug and looked at it carefully.

In his eyes, the secret in Dudu Shanqiu's heart was as clear as black and white. The key secret that the dwarves discovered to turn bedrock into explosives is actually to grind it.

Grinding the bedrock into a fine powder like flour can make it explosive. The finer it is ground, the stronger its explosiveness.

The method currently used by the dwarves is to grind it and then sieve it with a gauze. After sifting it with an extremely fine gauze, the bedrock powder obtained can be used as a good explosive. But this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the production efficiency has always been unable to keep up. They are still thinking about how to improve the process.

As far as Dudu knows, several dwarf craftsmen are jointly researching a set of bedrock crushing machinery. At present, there are already a lot of inspirations, and some prototypes have been tried, but the results are not ideal.

In order to prevent the bedrock from exploding when it is crushed and ground, this machine must work in water - the bedrock can only be ground in water to avoid explosion. But it is too difficult to make a machine that can work stably in water.

"Maybe... I can think of some other ways..." Looking at the small piece of bedrock, Sui Xiong muttered to himself, "Explosion is art. As an artist, if I don't work hard, who will!"

Finished. I don't know why I am very tired today, so I'm going to sleep first. I'll get up and write tomorrow morning...
