Bullets do not have eyes, and generals and soldiers die on the battlefield. No one has any words to say about this. If you are afraid of death, stay away from the battlefield. Since you are on the battlefield, don’t complain about being killed by the enemy. (It is normal for death and injury in the war, but massacring prisoners of war is tantamount to giving eyes to gods, and it also violates the social moral norms that are generally followed by by smart races in the new world.

Although he was extremely annoyed by the fact that these two-character gods followed Bann to make trouble for the death of the gangster, Luo Zhengdao was still rational in his anger. He was not crazy enough to be an enemy of the whole world. That's right. If he seized the opportunity, he would not take revenge. That was not Luo Zhengdao's character.

In the simple idea of ​​disgusting his opponent, Luo Zhengdao wrote a very ironic letter and submitted the major temples and church organizations to which the captured paladins belonged. In the letter, he clearly stated a series of terms, mainly focusing on requiring the other party to immediately pay ransom for freedom for the captured paladins. Nobles and professions have the right to use money to redeem their personal freedom. This is a common rule in the new world of hierarchy. No one can tell what is wrong. As for the wording, it is very unpolite, hahahaha, today's weather...

At the end of the letter, Luo Zhengdao declared with malice that if the negotiating opponent refused to pay the ransom, he would have to regretfully announce that these priests would be engaged in hard labor from now on to earn the ration money for themselves.

Not torture and kill prisoners of war does not mean that Luo Zhengdao has the obligation to raise them as his uncle. In a word, killing or killing prisoners is one thing. His Majesty the King is not their biological father, and there is no obligation to support these paladins in vain.

The first batch of unlucky guys had a bleak future experience that did not stop the subsequent army of crazy believers who came here. For these believers, the will of the gods is higher than all laws and morals in the world. As long as the gods give orders, they will go through fire and water. Not to mention killing a heretic or something, it is okay to ask them to massacre the city. Of course, most gods will not give such instructions.

Needless to say, this start is very funny, almost like an old world soap opera-like heretic crusade. As the number and quality of the attacking parties continue to grow with time, it finally becomes less funny one day.

The so-called "too many ants are bitten to death". Although I have never seen any empirical evidence in the real world, it should be theoretically valid!

Already at the center of the vortex of this major event, the protagonist Luo Zhengdao quickly realized the dilemma of dealing with a group of religious fanatics. These guys don’t care about sacrifice and death, not only their own but also others’. The crazy believers who rushed over like suicide made him feel unprecedentedly stressed.

"Your Majesty the King, our ammunition stock is not much. This morning's statistics on stone pine powder are only five bases, and the reserves of stone pine are relatively abundant. The trade fleet of the Yaling Empire will have to wait half a month before it arrives at the port. Those profiteers from the Elf Federation said that the shipping routes were blocked and the risk of shipping increased, requiring a 60% increase in price, and there is no guarantee that the goods can be delivered to Qiongzhou in time. Your Majesty, our situation is very difficult."

Hearing the oral report of the consul Kofi on his strategic material reserves and supplements, Luo Zhengdao was already in a headache. The cannon fodder sacrificed by the temple and the sect are valuable. At least these dead ghosts can consume Luo Zhengdao's limited arms. This is really a toad on his feet. If you can't beat him to death, you will be disgusted to death!

At this time, Luo Zhengdao didn't need to be calm. He sighed in frustration, stroked his forehead helplessly and said:

"Oh, how is the progress of Project No. 6?"

Kofi Angle was a little puzzled, turned to see Luo Zhengdao's expression change, and then replied:

"The plan goes well...but your majesty, what's the use of those matters? Are we going to sell them to mages or alchemists?"

Hearing the sound, he didn't plan to uncover the mystery so early. Considering that it is of practical significance to boost his confidence in the difficult times, Luo Zhengdao immediately smiled mysteriously and said:

"You don't understand, that's a substitute for stone pine powder. Don't we have a lot of sulfur? You can use it with a little more charcoal."

When he heard this, the consul was shocked and said:

"Uh, is it really OK? Your Majesty?"

"Coffey, am I in the mood to joke with you?"

"Oh, of course not, my Majesty."

When it comes to air nitrogen fixation, this is an industrial technology with a very difficult content in the old world. Human beings did not find any tricks for synthetic ammonia until the end of the 19th century. In the early 20th century, driven by the demand of World War I, Hans Cat was the first to start the industrial production of synthetic ammonia.

In the years before this, whether the supply of natural saltpeter from the Chilean desert in South America was smooth, it was even a key factor in determining the outcome of a large-scale war. Because of this, in many wars that broke out earlier, those ambitious monarchs and generals had to embarrass themselves to change their careers and become sanitation workers, and regulate all toilets and stables in the country with an almost harsh attitude, and sent people to collect soil containing natural nitrate ingredients as a temporary substitute for imported saltpeter. This move is of course a meager effort to drop in the bucket. Most of the reasons should be attributed to the fact that bacteria with nitrogen fixation capabilities in the old world were not very efficient.

In a new world where biodiversity is rich and colorful, not only does it have magical magic and alchemy, but the diversity of the biosphere is more than a hundred times better than the old world. This can be seen from the fact that there are so many intelligent races that cannot be counted.

Thanks to the unique natural conditions of the new world, manually screening out microorganisms with good nitrogen fixation capabilities is no longer an unfinished task, but there is always hope.

The so-called No. 6 project in Luo Zhengdaokou is a code name. The research topic is a confidential project that revolves around the synthesis of saltpeter using biotechnology. Although gunpowder does not have any advantages compared with stone pine powder in terms of combustion speed and corrosion of artillery. However, when the supply of stone pine spore powder as an important strategic material is about to be cut off, it is not surprising that the upgraded version of black. The maroon gunpowder is used as cannon firing. The substitute of medicine has first appeared on the stage of the New World.

For laymen, the difference between maroon gunpowder and black gunpowder is very small, and the formula ratio is almost unchanged, only in the incomplete carbonization of the charcoal component.

If you ask what principle this played a role, Luo Zhengdao regretfully stated that he was just an ordinary military fan. He was not an expert in military history, nor was he a perverted scientist like Malinxi. In fact, Luo Zhengdao himself did not understand the principle, but this did not prevent him from copying the successful experience of the old world.

Maroon gunpowder is undoubtedly not a great technological achievement. At least before the invention of smokeless gunpowder, gunpowder was fired in the old world. The medicine generally used maroon gunpowder. There was no data to show that there were other optimization options, which seemed to prove that maroon gunpowder was better than black. Gunpowder. Now Luo Zhengdao is relying on this new technology to reverse his strategic unfavorable situation.

The requirements for launching drugs for guns and cannon weapons are as much as loading in hand, grenades, explosions and drugs in bombs, and it is not as simple as the greater the explosion power, the better. According to actual needs, the burning speed of gunpowder must be controlled.

People in the old world invented nitroscopic cotton for cannon firing. In the early days, before the shells were shot out from the muzzle, the cannon exploded. Finally, they analyzed the cause of the disaster and realized that it was the launch. The burning speed of the medicine was too fast, so they had to incorporate other substances to slow down the combustion speed.

The overall performance of maroon gunpowder is slightly better than that of black. Gunpowder. The difficulty of this technology is not high, so it was selected by Luo Zhengdao as the main product of Project No. 6. He wanted to use such an outsider who knew the truth but did not know the reason to create more advanced explosives and drugs in places without industrial foundation, and to tinker with dangerous goods such as trinitro. To be honest, Luo Zhengdao, who was a major in liberal arts in college, could not understand the key points of the technology, and he had to test the formula in an exhaustive way. The consequences were most likely to lead to countless disasters.

The explosive and drug king Nobel, who used a huge legacy to create the explosives and drug awards, even his brother's life was spent in the process of studying new explosives and drug experiments. It is estimated that few people are willing to learn from this guy and devote themselves to science.

Weapons and equipment do not have to blindly pursue advancedness. Everything needs to be enough. There is a relatively balanced competitive relationship between the quality and quantity of weapons. Mediocre weapons suitable for mass production and use are more in line with the needs of war than excellent weapons that can only be manufactured on a small scale. This is the law of never pursuing perfect real world.

Luo Zhengdao ordered that the gunpowder workshop established near Haikou City have a strict safety inspection system, and no steel products are allowed. Any places where metal must be used are replaced by copper. Even workers' boots are not allowed to use shoe nails to avoid accidental sparks. The reason for formulating such strict regulations is very necessary to prevent preventive measures. The gunpowder workshop is guarding a high-risk area of ​​a large number of flammable and explosive products. As long as an inconspicuous little spark is knocked out, you will immediately know how the earth-crew plane flew into the sky. Yes, it was blown away.

Black gunpowder is undoubtedly a useless invention for the new world of possessing a unique natural explosive substance, such as stone pine spore powder. If it were not for the hindrance of purchase channels, stone pine spore powder would soon be broken. Whether it is analyzed from the ease of use or the price cost, there is no competitive advantage in manufacturing gunpowder and purchasing stone pine powder for a horizontal comparison.

Now Luo Zhengdao is forced to plan for the emergency production of maroon gunpowder. To put it bluntly, it cut off most of the crude oil sources from the Old World World during World War II. He was forced to use local coal to study the "coal to oil" technology. Military products do not care about the cost or the performance. The core issue is not whether it is easy to use. No matter how bad it is, it is better than using without weapons!

The siege of the Temple and the Clan on Qiongzhou was an absolute and protracted war. Those crazy believers would not give up on the offensive because of Luo Zhengdao's shortage of resources. No matter how high the price they paid for victory, it would be cheaper than enduring defeat.

In the old world, manufacturing guns is not a technical job. Without taking legal factors into consideration, you can do the gun making work if you find a township enterprise-level hardware workshop. This is how underground arsenals like Hualongzao come from. Making bullets involves both mechanical and chemical aspects, which is much more difficult than purely mechanical processing gun making processes. The situation in the new world is similar. It is much less difficult to develop a new weapon than to develop a new ammunition, and find a replacement for the launch of stone pine powder in a short time. Medicine, Luo Zhengdao has no other way out if he does not plagiarize the experience of the old world.
