With this, her victory was definitely guaranteed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would kill her old man, as well as that b**ch Angelina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Landon, he had realised that the explosive power was not even up to 20% of his gunpowder back in Baymard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was understandable, since the people didn’t necessarily understand science.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these people, if they combined several stones with charcoal, then gunpowder would be formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn’t necessarily the right way to go about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example most of these rocks only contain maybe 30-50% sulphur within them, and the other components were seen as impurities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So since these people didn’t understand chemistry, or even knew what sulphur was, how could they succeed in creating any powerful explosions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they wanted to have a good explosive power, then they needed to use at least 98% pure sulphur.. . And the same thought process went out for the other raw materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why chemical extraction and preparation was necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another important factor was that they didn’t know the ratio in which they should mix the raw materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in Baymard, Landon had made several potion cups, containers and glass dishes which were used by the people to estimate the ratio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The correct ratio was 2 parts pure sulphur, 3 parts charcoal and 13 parts pure saltpeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These cups and containers were now used even in cooking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People could say things like: add 3 parts rice, 4 parts water and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the right ratios were properly mixed, Landon had the men fill sacs of gunpowder and place in the storage rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the people in Baymard, the rest of the world didn’t know the ratio, and just went with what they thought was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, there were so many reasons why their explosive power was weak... Heck, it sounded more like a loud fart, than a thunderous clap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from the looks of it, those around the shots weren’t even affected by the explosive force form the shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well... this was definitely good for Baymard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back on earth, hand-held cannons were generally made between the 12 and 14th centuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even at that time period, gunpowder still had a weak explosive power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the era of science and all the geniuses like Albert Einstein came about, people started understanding were they went wrong with gunpowder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The era of science mainly happened between the late 16th to 20th century.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People started building large gigantic cannons, war machines, and gunpowder guns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But presently, sticks were used to launch the gunpowder filled tubes at an inclined angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As well as attached some of these gunpowder filled tubes onto metal arrows, and use their bows to launch their attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These kind of weapons would never be enough to destroy Baymard’s walls, that’s why Landon could sigh from relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the audience, King Barn had also disguised himself as a V.I.P merchant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This snow powder was what he needed to prepare himself against City Lord Shannon’s attack on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been having several sleeplessn nights since the disappearance of City lord Shannon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the fool really planned on attacking him, then he would use this gunpowder to completely destroy Shannon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now once he got the powder, he would get his alchemists to study and create large scale batches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if anyone got in his way of obtaining this powder, hehehehe... thet person would wish that they had never been born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My esteem guests... we have only 50 large sacs of snow powder being auctioned off today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had to know that this powder was extremely expensive, so the merchants couldn’t bring a lot back from the Continent of Morgany.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These sacks would be sold in groups of 5 .... So let’s start the bidding for the first group shall we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1039,"2026-06-03T07:55:13.590Z","2026-06-03T07:55:19.557Z",1,"novelbin.me","cd17f2bc85babe2c3fc7159dc65113cfe7afd40ef2195eb38df8e17a3f6ac592","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-110","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-108",1977,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-king-of-technology-cover.jpg"]
